After this incident, I felt it was necessary to have a proper conversation with Selena; otherwise, my stay in this mansion might become quite unbearable. I went to see her with a bowl of mushroom soup I had personally prepared. At that moment, she was weakly leaning against the head of the bed, whi
In the past, when Lucas wasn't highly regarded and was at most seen as a prospective son-in-law of our family, he was never included in the Holmes family banquets. But now that he has achieved success, his family members have begun to seek his favor.The Holmes family had an old, spacious estate wit
Lucas, however, paid no attention. I had the urge to yell at him, saying, "I'm not Selena. If you're brave enough, go and seek revenge on Selena." However, I held back because I feared his unpredictable mood swings, and I was worried he might vent his frustration on me later during sex.The next day

My brother expressed his anger, saying, "Those arrogant jerks, once our family is back on track, I'll make them pay."My mother continued wiping her tears, saying, "I know nothing about your father’s condition. The doctors keep pressing me for the surgery fee, and I... I don't know what to do."Befo
I walked alongside Lucas, and neither of us said a word. I didn't know why he suddenly became so enthusiastic about taking me to bars, night markets, and the riverside. Whether he truly regarded me as a substitute for Selena or not, one thing was for sure: after this outing, my mood had improved sig
The only good news was that my mom called and said my dad was recovering well. She praised Lucas, saying he had sent a lot of health supplements and paid for my dad's VIP room and hospital bills.As I listened, tears welled up in my eyes. Lucas was genuinely kind. I really wanted to thank him proper
I climbed in his lap and looked at him, crying and laughing at the same time. "You big fool. You made the right choice to come back.” After that, I kissed him passionately. I was not a good kisser; even though I initiated the kiss, I ended up nearly breathless from his response. When I finally stru
Selena suddenly burst into laughter. "I’m not as lucky as you. He proposed a divorce because he wanted to test you, but he didn't expect you to sign it without hesitation. As for me, he invited me to provoke you. The reason I agreed to act with him was also to test Lester. However, I never imagined
"Enough!" At this point, my heart was in turmoil, and I couldn't determine who was lying.I stared coldly at Lester. "I've said it before, if you want the confidential documents, then give me the video."Lester looked helpless. "Angela, how many times do I have to tell you? I really don't have any v
"Shut up!"He suddenly growled at me, startling me into silence.After all, having known him for so long, even when I treated him poorly in the past, he had never yelled at me.Now that he had become successful, things were indeed different. He no longer needed to fear me like before, nor did he hav
