  Third person's POV

  In a nearby cafe.

  Howard and Rowena sat by the window. Rowena was staring at a corner of the park, while Howard was looking at her.

  "I heard you resigned. Why?" Howard stirred the coffee in his cup, asking her in a low voice.

  "No reason. I just felt tired and wanted to rest," Rowena replied.

  "Was it because of me? My mother exposed our relationship and made things awkward for you at work." Howard's voice was filled with guilt and self-blame. Though Rowena did not say anything or blame him, he knew. That was the reason she resigned.

  Rowena was silent. She couldn't get those humiliating words from her colleagues out of her head.

  "It turns out that she wants to marry into a rich family. How ambitious!"

  "That's right. I have no idea that she was secretly dating Mr. Twitty. She hid it so well. If Mr. Twitty's mother hadn't come to the company to make a scene, none of us would have known."

      Catherine's POV  The night fell. I had been feeling like I was in a dream lately since my life had been so wonderful.  Patricia and Emerson appreciated me, and Blake indulged me. He would surprise me from time to time to make me happy.  Blake was a perfect mate. Wealth made him confident. And though many people also had money, they weren't as delicate and gentle as him. Therefore, Blake was simply attractive.  I used to think he was arrogant and self-centered, but after I fell for him, I realized that Blake did have what it took to attract women.  "Mommy!" Hedwig suddenly ran over. She asked me seriously, "After you and daddy get married, are you going to call him honey?"  I was a little surprised that she asked so. I smiled, "Who told you that?"  "I saw it on TV. A kid's mommy calls his daddy honey," Hedwig said, blinking her eyes like a curious baby.  I chuckled. "Why don't you go and ask your daddy? I can't explain this."  "

      Third person's POV  In the bedroom on the second floor, Catherine sat on the bed with a sad look.  Blake sat beside her. He held her hand and said, "We will be your family from now on. Don't be sad anymore, OK?"  Catherine closed her eyes and said, "Without the necklace, I'll have no connections left with my parents, right?"  "It's just a necklace," Blake comforted her.  "I know. But it was from my parents. I should have been more cautious with it," Catherine sighed.  Blake promised to help Catherine find the necklace, but he didn't mean it. He hoped that Catherine would never see the necklace again.  The next morning, the sun shone brightly.  With his phone in hand, Benjamin pushed open Cedrick's office in a hurry.  Cedrick looked up at Benjamin and said, "When will you learn to knock?"  Benjamin put the phone in front of Cedrick and pointed at it. "Cedrick, is this you?"  Cedrick shifted his gaze to Benjamin's pho

      Third person's POV  Lillian completely froze. Then a trace of embarrassment flashed across her face.  She bit her lower lip, tears welling in her eyes. "You didn't come to the wedding. You didn't rescue me. You made me the person I am today. Do you have any idea what I've been through these past few years? I had to put up with my husband staying out all night. He didn't love me at all. He just thought that I was pretty, and going out with me by his side made him look good. I was too young to make the right choice. I was wrong. You are the man that I want to spend my life with."  "Enough!" Cedrick's face was utterly sullen as he interrupted her with a cold voice. Then he said, "The past is the past. I have nothing to do with you from now on. I heard that you received five hundred million dollars from your divorce. It is enough for you to enjoy the rest of your life!"  Lillian's face was a little pale. She realized that Cedrick was serious. He did not love he

      Third person's POV  Jessica was chatting with her friends. Then, she received a call.  She excused herself and then answered the call, with joy on her pretty face.  However, after Jessica hung up the phone, the smile on her face faded.  More people came to the party. Jessica was standing at the door. She froze.  There were several of Jessica's friends standing outside the door. Then, someone came uninvited. It was Lillian.  Lillian was dressed up, and she was stunning. Standing outside the door, the light fell on her, and for a moment, Jessica was overshadowed by her.  "Hi, Miss Hall, am I not welcome here? These are my friends. I just came back from abroad and didn't know many places to hang out. So, I thought why not come to your party," Lillian said with a graceful smile.  Jessica was young and inexperienced. She couldn't handle such a situation, or, at least, she shouldn't show it on her face.  "Jessica, this is Lillian. Sh

      Third person's POV  "Catherine, will you stay for a bit longer? You are Blake's fiancee after all. I won't be afraid of her with you by my side." Jessica pulled Catherine's arm.  Catherine pulled a wry face.  "Alright, let's go inside. Let me take a look at that woman!" Catherine patted Jessica on the shoulder with sympathy, and also tried to comfort her.  Lillian was already here to challenge Jessica. She should fight back and not back off.  "Don't defeat yourself. Chin up. Be confident!" Catherine encouraged Jessica with a smile.  The two of them returned to the private room. Then, they heard a woman's loud laughter.  "It's her!" Jessica winked at Catherine.  Catherine looked over and was a little stunned. Lillian was around 1.7 meters tall and had a slender and exquisite figure. She had the look that most men would prefer.  Lillian had an attractive face, and her slender, ice-blue dress made her look even more ladylike.

      Third person's POV  Since Jessica was no longer in a pickle, Catherine was prepared to leave. She said to Leo, "I'm leaving now. Have fun!"  "Alright!" Leo wanted Catherine to stay longer, but he dared not to say it.  Catherine said bye to Jessica and left.  Catherine drove home. The lights in the parlor were dimmed. She tiptoed upstairs, cracked the door of Noah's room, and heard Blake whispering bedtime stories to the children. For an instant, Catherine was stunned and somehow felt warm inside.  Blake raised his head. His eyes met Catherine's as she leaned against the door.  "Mommy..."  "Mommy, didn't you go to a birthday party? You're back so early!"  "Is it because you miss us so much?" Hedwig asked with a smile.  Noah pursed his lips. "I think she missed daddy!"  "It's late. Why are you still up? Don't pester daddy all the time. He has a lot of work during the day and is very busy." Catherine lectured the kids with a

      Catherine's POV  After I left the study, I searched the room again for the necklace. I even lay on my stomach and looked under the bed carefully.  But I still couldn't find the necklace. It just vanished. Was it really the maid who stole it?  The royal pack had always been strict with the servants. How could a thief blend into the villa?  I was very upset. I had a glimmer of hope when I heard Patricia say that she had an impression of the necklace.  But what should I do now?  I couldn't tell Patricia what the necklace looked like just by describing it.  I was restless, then I thought of my phone. I quickly found it and turned it on.  I checked through the photos in it. As I found the photos that I was looking for, I breathed a sigh of relief.  I almost forgot that I had the photos of the necklace on my phone. I could show them to Patricia tomorrow.  The next morning, clouds obscured the sun and shrouded the city in gloom.

      Blake's POV  Instead of driving to my company, I drove along the mountain road and arrived at the villa at the top of the mountain.  My grandparents lived here.  I got out of the car and rushed upstairs.  In the corridor, I saw Patricia sitting alone on the sofa on the balcony in a daze. She had a napkin in her hand and was wiping her tears in silence.  I somehow felt depressed. My footsteps were heavy as I walked slowly toward Patricia.  When I reached the door of the balcony, Patricia shouted sternly, "Stop there!"  Her eyes were filled with tears. Then, I knew how serious the matter was. I stopped and stood quietly in front of her.  "You knew Catherine's background a long time ago. Didn't you?" Patricia stared at me sharply, trying to get the truth from me.  I kept silent and slightly lowered my head. I dared not look into Patricia's eyes, much less at my father's photo.  In the photo, my father had a gentle smile on h

    "Yep! When a person can face what they dread most, it shows their growing tolerance," Blake said with a smile.Catherine sighed softly and grasped his fingers. "Blake, thank you for changing for me. I hope I can do the same for you someday."Blake nodded. "Sure, I'm looking forward to it as well."Catherine smiled. "Hopefully, it won't be too hard.""Nothing tough, just fulfilling Hedwig's wish for a younger brother or sister," Blake teased.Sure enough, Catherine's face flushed with fear. She was scared."Are you serious?" Currently, Catherine dreaded having more children. With Noah and Hedwig still young and demanding care, the thought of another baby sent her into anxiety.Blake, seeing her fear, chuckled. "Just joking, don't take it seriously!"Catherine exhaled. "No more joke like that again!""Alright, I won't!" Blake gently squeezed her hand and then asked earnestly, "Truly, no more kids?""One boy and one

    Catherine said emotionally, "Blake, meeting you is my greatest fortune."Blake, hearing her rare emotional words, smiled and said, "Is this a confession?""Yeah, thousands of words can't express how much I like you. I feel my soul is engraved with your name." Catherine said seriously, but it sounded like a romantic story, making Blake want to laugh." Oh? Is that so?" The man was delighted, with a smile on his face. "Alright, I'll find you again and marry you in the next life.""Really?" Catherine, relieved that he agreed as if it were a major decision, felt at ease. Blake promised, "Yes, I believe our bond isn't over yet."Catherine giggled, feeling she'd shifted the mood, and quickly speared a piece of delicious fish onto his plate. "Let's eat."Blake looked at the fish, a gentle expression flashing across his face. He picked up his cutlery, ate the fish, and found it tasty.After dinner, they strolled in the hotel's garden before h

    "Then once a week," Catherine replied, feigning seriousness."I waited twenty-seven years just for you, Catherine!" the man said with mock solemnity.Catherine burst into laughter, breaking the intense atmosphere. "Alright, let's change the subject. This topic isn't worth discussing."Blake took advantage of her laughter, stepped around her, and in one swift motion, pinned her down.Catherine was startled into lying down and realized escape was impossible."Wh-what are you doing?" Catherine's eyes widened, already knowing the answer.Indeed, careless words come with a price.Catherine, exhausted and weak, pointed at Blake's retreating figure toward the bathroom and gritted her teeth. "So unfair, making me move on top for half an hour!"Blake's sturdy figure froze in the bathroom doorway, then erupted into hearty, self-satisfied laughter.Hearing his deep laughter, Catherine grew even angrier.When Blake emerged, w

    Sunny's eyes were filled with sorrow. She felt guilty toward her mom, knowing she no longer had a place in the Eben family.Gellman wasn't surprised and sighed, "I think it's better for you to leave this family early. It can save me from my uncle's constant attempts to introduce you to boyfriends for business marriages."Sunny's eyes widened, "How do you know?""He mentioned it when he was drinking at my place yesterday. He said he would introduce you to some clients' sons," Gellman said, his face turning grim.Sunny's face turned cold.She couldn't believe Eben was still scheming against her. It was disgusting."I'll never see him again. Let's see how he can set me up with men!" Sunny said with a cold smile.Gellman nodded, his eyes darkening.A private plane sat at the International Airport. A group of people in four cars headed for a seven-star hotel.In the car, Catherine, tired from the long flight, dozed off on Bla

    Tasha covered her face and cried even harder, looking pitiful as she said to Moira, "Look at Sunny! She thinks she's so great because she trained in taekwondo for a few years. Look at my face, it's almost disfigured. How am I supposed to see people now? I have family visits to make these days, I do even know what can I do now."Tasha's loud crying and sympathetic words made Moira's face pale with anxiety.Eben glared at Sunny in anger and pointed toward the door, shouting, "Get out of here right now!"On hearing this, Sunny's whole body stiffened. She looked at Moira with a guilty expression.Moira also froze, her face turning even paler. She quickly tried to placate Eben, "Don't get angry. I think there might be some misunderstanding between them...""There's no misunderstanding. She hit me. Look at my face, it's all the evidence you need," Tasha cried out pitifully.Moira saw the red mark on Tasha's face that hadn't gone down and didn't kn

    Tasha, who used to look down on this corner of the house, had come today with a request.The musty smell of the long-unoccupied room made her uncomfortable."Sunny, don't be so cold. We don't have a deep grudge, do we?" Tasha forced a fake smile.Sunny ignored her, sitting by the chair and taking out her phone to check the news.Tasha stared at the phone, eyes gleaming with the idea of secretly finding Leo's number.But then she decided to just ask Sunny for it directly.Sunny wouldn't reject this."Sunny, do you have Leo's phone number? Can you give it to me?" Tasha asked boldly.Sunny looked up, her gaze cold. "No."Sunny, who used to lack the confidence, now felt no obligation to easily give her boyfriend's number to another woman.The atmosphere turned awkward.Tasha's face darkened at Sunny's blunt refusal."Sunny, are you just trying to spoil my fun? You eat, live, and use what's ours. Isn't it

    The situation took a turn for the better, with Sunny being kicked out by Leo.So, Tasha came over smugly to mock her.If she didn't vent on Sunny, she couldn't swallow her anger.Thinking of Sunny's past with Leo, Tasha was filled with indignation.Her idol had been with this woman, which felt like a knife to her heart. She considered it unbearable and thought highly of herself for not slapping Sunny."You were so confident. If you want to join his company as an artist, you can go anytime," Sunny said coldly."I could have, but now it's uncertain!" Tasha's tone changed abruptly, with a hint of anger. "You've offended Leo. If he finds out I'm your stepsister, he might not sign me."Sunny couldn't help but sneer. "Rest assured. If you can't get into his company because of me, I'll talk to him. I'll tell him I have nothing to do with you, so he won't blame you because of me."Tasha was skeptical. Sunny's sudden kindness seemed sus

    "You could still meet with my father if you both have time. Blake and I wouldn't mind," Catherine suggested softly."There's nothing left to say between us," Abigail replied with a light laugh, her tone final yet tinged with resignation."Thank you, Abigail." Catherine's gratitude spilled out."Alright, no more formalities. I'm content now. Rest now—you'll need energy for tomorrow's flight," Abigail said with a gentle smile.Catherine nodded and quietly left. Back in the bedroom, Blake was sitting on the sofa with a strange look. On seeing her, he got up and walked over. "What did my mom say?""Nothing much. Just reminded me about Dad's medication," Catherine replied softly."Is he ill?" Blake's gaze sharpened."Old health issues," Catherine deflected, unnerved by his sudden intensity.Blake said no more and put his arms around her. "Let's rest early. The flight will drain you.""Okay.

    "I understand, but if I don't visit him during such an important festival, I'll feel guilty. On my engagement day, my dad gave me so many gifts—he gave me almost everything he had. He's truly a great father, and I want to be a good daughter in return."Catherine was in a dilemma.Blake knew Catherine had fully forgiven and accepted Halsey for abandoning her."Fine, I'll go with you to visit him." Blake made his decision."You'll accompany me?" Catherine was surprised since Blake had a grudge against her father."Yes. I don't want you to go alone, but as his daughter, you must visit him." Blake didn't want his past issues to affect her. She had the right to love her father."What about the kids?" Catherine asked suddenly."Leave them here. Let my mom and grandma take care of them." Blake didn't want to put the children in danger.Catherine agreed that leaving the kids behind would be safer.Given Blake's ongoing str
