Catherine's POV
"Halsey, I'll go with you." The feelings I had were tearing me apart. It made me sad to think that Halsey didn't even deserve to be here. "No, Cathy. Stay," Halsey stopped me. "Halsey, at least let me send you out." I was in great pain. Halsey and Abigail were divorced. From now on, he would be a werewolf without a mate, and as his daughter, I felt terrible. I held Halsey's arm and was about to leave with him. Suddenly, a hand grabbed my wrist. Then I heard Leo's voice. "I didn't ask you to leave..." I didn't expect that Leo would reach out to pull me. I was a little shocked. I saw Sunny in the car. She was opening the door. It seemed that she wanted to stop Leo. I was very angry. By doing this, Leo would give others the wrong idea about my relationship with him. I didn't dare to imagine what would happen if Blake saw us. In the next second, a voice came over. "What is going on?" ItThird Person's POV"Why are there so many people?" Jessica was still puzzled.Cedrick leaned back and analyzed calmly, "If my guess is correct, this must be another attempt to tarnish your reputation, and by extension, Leo's.""How despicable!" Jessica clenched her teeth in anger.Anyone would be furious to be manipulated like this, and Jessica was no exception.Cedrick gently stroked her long hair and comforted her, "Don't be angry. I'll settle this score.""How are you going to do that? You don't have any business dealings with them, do you?"Jessica realized that Nebula Media had not only targeted her but also indirectly provoked Cedrick."Rest assured, I'll find a way to make them remember this lesson. Trust me."Cedrick didn't think Jessica needed to know the specifics of the business world. He wanted to shield her innocence.Jessica's lips curled into a smile as she nestled against his shoulder. "It feels great to have someone backing me up."Cedrick let out a soft chuckle, his
Third Person's POV"Your dream just came true. Our relationship has indeed been exposed." Cedrick's lips curled into a faint smile."Ah..." Jessica's face froze in shock. "When did this happen? Have I been asleep for a long time?""It just broke out," Cedrick said, placing his phone in front of her."I knew it!" Jessica closed her eyes in annoyance. "I really should carry a mask with me at all times.""You seem unhappy about it," Cedrick observed, his expression stiffening at her obvious regret."Of course I'm not happy. If they write more nonsense, won't that drag you into it too?" Jessica replied, her head downcast."I don't mind being implicated," Cedrick sat on the edge of the bed, his gaze locked on hers. "Jess, since we've been exposed, let's just get married!""Really?" Jessica's eyes widened in disbelief. She blinked hard. "Cedrick, am I dreaming? Are you really... proposing to me?"Seeing her exaggerated reactio
Third Person's POV"I don't know what's come over me. I suddenly feel nauseous. I'm really sorry. May I go get a drink of water?"Jessica asked, feeling a wave of nausea hit her. She was a dedicated actress, and the thought of holding up the shoot due to her condition filled her with guilt."Go ahead, we'll wait for you!" the director replied with unusual leniency.As Jessica walked away, she tried to manage the queasy feeling rising in her throat."Strange, could it be the spicy lobster I had at noon?" she wondered, her face a picture of confusion.After taking a couple of sips of water, the nausea subsided slightly.Meanwhile, Harley, who had been watching from afar, approached her with concern. "Jessica, are you alright? What's wrong? Are you sick?" he asked."It's nothing serious, just a bit of nausea." Jessica forced a weak smile."Have you considered seeing a doctor? Don't delay it," Harley advised. Ever since Jess
Third Person's POVCedrick held her close and strode toward the emergency room. Jessica was diagnosed with acute gastroenteritis—no wonder she was in such agony.Lying in the hospital bed with an IV drip in her hand, Cedrick sighed and sat beside her."If you ever feel unwell, go to the hospital immediately. Got it?" He wanted to scold her but couldn't bring himself to. It was a helpless feeling."Got it!" Jessica meekly obeyed, too pained to argue."You're just not learning your lesson!" Cedrick didn't believe she'd really heed his warning.Jessica, seeing his worried and angry expression, suddenly chuckled and reached for his clenched hand with her other hand.Cedrick gently shook off her grip, but before she could retract her hand, he firmly held it in his.The surprised look on her face faded, replaced by a joyful smile."Cedrick, you know what? On my way here, I was thinking—what if I'm pregnant? I was s
Third Person's POV"Was I too busy on my wedding day and forgot? Don't take it to heart. I've let go of any resentment," Catherine said indifferently."Catherine, Gina's mental health has improved. I've brought her home. She feels remorseful about the past. I could have her apologize to you in person," Troy said abruptly."Is that so? If she's better, let her stay home and behave. There's no need for an apology. I'm swamped lately and have no time to meet her," Catherine's expression turned cold at the mention of Gina. The lingering pain from her injury made forgiveness impossible.Troy, caught off guard, fell silent."What do you really want? Spit it out!" Catherine urged, sensing his unspoken request."I was fired by Nick. I want my job back. Can you put in a good word for me?" Troy blurted out.Catherine's face twitched. Troy had worked for Nick, who apparently valued him—until now."Sorry, I don't have a close relatio
Third Person's POV"Moira, I can't shake this guilt. I can't bear the pressure of my mom being locked up and still want to enjoy Leo's kindness. It's too painful. So, I've decided to end this relationship. I know it's cowardly, but I need to get it over with," Sunny said with a self-mocking smile, shocking Moira again."Sunny, why would you do this? If Leo loves you, he'll forgive you. Why leave?"Moira was worried and heartbroken, fearing Sunny was making a mistake."Not all love stories have happy endings. I used to think love had to lead to happiness, but some things are out of our control. Our feud, though not our doing, ties us together. Can we really love each other in good conscience?"Sunny's eyes welled up. She dared not dwell on their relationship. Memories of Leo flooded her mind, causing her unbearable pain.Moira looked into her eyes and sighed, "Alright, if you've thought it through, I support you. I've raised you for over twen
