"I think you’ve forgotten the agreement you signed on the first day you came here to take care of me. It explicitly stated you couldn’t disclose any of the patient’s information, yet you did," Wilson said lazily.“The worst I can do is to compensate for the breach of contract,” Mandy replied.“Compensate?” Wilson's eyes narrowed coldly. "Do you think you can afford to pay for the recent drop in Birch Group's stock value and the negative impact caused by your actions?"Mandy’s eyes widened. She wondered if Wilson was really going to blame all that on her."If you can pay it, then I can pretend nothing ever happened," Wilson said.Mandy shouted, "Do you think you can make me pay for all that?! The law doesn’t work that way!” "Is that so? Then let’s see what the law says and how many years you’ll spend in jail," Wilson said calmly as if Mandy’s fate was already decided.Mandy trembled in fear. "Don’t do this to me. This is all your fault! Why should I pay for the consequences?!”
He shouldn't have any feelings left for Clara! These emotional fluctuations were only due to his memories because she was the woman he loved in those memories! Suddenly, Wilson felt a pang in his chest, and it hurt so much that he could barely breathe…-Clara had been following Latveria’s news these days. She was surprised to see the news about Mandy's arrest. It was revealed that Mandy was connected to the previous rumors.However, some of the information was vague, as it was inconvenient to disclose to the public. Although Birch Group's stock price had recovered slightly due to Mandy's arrest, the rumors still had an impact.Despite Mandy's arrest, the public kept speculating about Wilson's marriage and health status. The Birch Group and Wilson himself had not made any statements about these issues.It was fortunate that Clara wasn't harassed by the media in Solaria. She guessed that Jackson must have helped her, otherwise, her place might have been swarmed by reporters.
It was Lessie who had called her. "Am I speaking to Clara?" Lessie asked."Yes, it's me." Clara wondered why Lessie would call her suddenly. Given their past interactions, she expected Lessie to hate her. "Clara, I know I wasn't kind to you back then. I’m calling to let you know that Wilson refuses to divorce you and won’t clarify anything to the public. Birch Group's stock is fluctuating, and the rival company is trying to suppress our stock price and take the chance to buy our shares. The situation would be bad for us if this continues," Lessie said.Clara pursed her lips and said, "I've already signed the divorce agreement. It’s with Wilson. If he wants to file for a divorce, he can do it anytime. If he doesn’t, there’s nothing I can do. If you want us to go through the divorce quickly, you should persuade him, not me."Clara's tone was polite but distant.Lessie was stunned momentarily. "I... I don’t want you guys to divorce so soon. I want you to act lovey-lovey with Wil
Clara hadn’t expected to cross paths with Wilson so soon. Deep down, she knew that they were destined to part ways eventually. -Danny was surprised to see a file on his desk. He didn't know who had placed it there, but the contents were all about Karleigh. He gasped in disbelief at the scandalous content. He had always thought that Karleigh was just spoiled and narcissistic. He hadn’t expected her to have slept with numerous men and even undergone two abortions. Every detail including the name of the hospital, doctors, and date of the abortion was listed in the file. It was beyond Danny’s imagination. Karleigh had always presented herself as an innocent woman. She claimed that he was her first serious boyfriend. They hadn’t done anything more than holding hands, hugging, and kissing. She insisted on saving her first time for her husband. Danny admired her for her apparent chastity, but now, he felt utterly deceived.Just then, a servant knocked on the study and tol
Karleigh desperately defended herself. "Danny, who told you that?! Let’s confront that guy! You shouldn’t simply believe what others say easily!” "Confront?" Danny threw the file at her. "Look for yourself. Do you think that a confrontation still works?”Karleigh's expression changed. Everything she had painstakingly concealed was laid out before her. "Where did you get this?" Karleigh asked while trembling."I wish I knew. It was on my desk when I came into the study," Danny replied angrily.Karleigh suddenly recalled what Coco's boyfriend had said before. "Every single detail about your past will be on your boyfriend’s table within three days.”Today was the third day! A chill ran down her spine as thought of Lucas. "I’m being slandered! This must be Coco's boyfriend's doing!" Karleigh exclaimed. "Remember we had a conflict with him at the jewelry counter? He must have done this to break us up!"Danny’s expression changed. He didn’t agree with Karleigh. He wondered w
After all, Lucas was the prince of the entertainment industry. It was unlikely that he would casually attend someone else's birthday party. Moreover, Minnie and Lucas had only met each other briefly at the hospital when Coco was injured. "I'll ask him," Coco said."Sure. I've reserved three tables in the private room, so there are extra seats," Minnie replied.That evening, Coco called Lucas. "Do you remember Minnie? She’s hosting a birthday party tomorrow night. Would you like to go with me?”"Do you want me to?" Lucas asked."Minnie is my best friend. We can go together if you’re free, but it’s fine if you’re not—” “Sure, I’ll go with you,” Lucas cut her off. Coco was surprised to hear that. "I'll pick you up tomorrow evening," he added."Alright," she responded happily.She could feel that Lucas was gradually accepting her and associating himself with her social circle. Even if he didn't like her yet let alone love her, he was making an effort as he had promised. Coco
"Hello, Mr. Gomez. Thank you for coming to my birthday party," Minnie said."Nice to meet you, Minnie. Happy birthday!" Lucas said as he handed her a gift.Minnie hadn’t expected Lucas to give her something separately. "Coco already gave me something. Since you’re with her, one is enough. You make it look like I invited you to get more presents.""You deserve this as you’re Coco’s best friend, and you’ve helped her a lot," Lucas said.Minnie smiled shyly and glanced at Coco before thanking Lucas. Then, she showed them their seats.The other guests at the party occasionally snuck glances at Lucas. Minnie introduced him as Coco’s boyfriend, Mr. Gomez, without revealing his identity. If she had, everyone would have flocked around him, given his status in the entertainment industry.After everyone was seated, Minnie thanked them for coming to celebrate her birthday and wished everyone a good time. Just as they were about to start their meal, someone knocked on the door.Then,
Everyone at the party was enraptured by Raymond's performance. However, they were also puzzled as to why a celebrity would be here to celebrate Minnie's birthday.Coco had a hunch. She turned to Lucas and whispered, "Did you arrange for Raymond’s appearance?""Since Minnie is a fan of Raymond and you wanted her to have a special birthday, I thought she'd be happier if he was here," Lucas replied.Coco was right about it. "Thank you. Today is the best day of her life!” Coco could tell that Minnie was overjoyed judging by her expression. After singing, Raymond took pictures with Minnie and even gave her an autograph. Minnie invited him to stay for the cake, and he graciously agreed, enjoying a slice before leaving.Minnie, still in a daze, pulled Coco aside to the restroom. She couldn't help but ask excitedly, "Coco, was it Lucas who arranged for Raymond to be here?” She couldn't think of anyone else that was powerful enough to do that. "Yes," Coco admitted. "I mentioned th
