"Mom, Dad, I've made up my mind. I'll go back and take over the family business." When Jaycie Stanton's parents heard that she had finally agreed, they were overjoyed on the other end of the phone. However, thoughts of her hidden identity and the boyfriend she had kept in the dark led them to ask, "Is your boyfriend coming back with you? Have you told him the truth about who you are?" "I haven't. I'm going to break up with him."

Chapter 2
Jaycie froze mid-step before turning her head to see who had called out to her. It was one of her father's former business partners, who had once begged for a collaboration with him. She couldn't help but sigh inwardly. She didn't want to reveal her identity and was trying to figure out how to slip away unnoticed when one of the guys trailing behind Cole glanced her up and down and let out a mocking laugh."Did he say Ms. Stanton? He wants to pitch a business idea to Jaycie? Look at her—she's obviously a nobody. How could she be involved in any kind of business? What a joke."His words sparked a wave of laughter. They weren't speaking in Frutunian, so Jaycie could clearly understand their ridicule. Still, she kept her expression neutral, showing no reaction. Cole, however, wasn't as composed. He shot the guy a cold, warning glare. The man, sensing he'd crossed a line, quickly toned down his mockery, and the others, catching Cole's sharp look, gradually fell silent.The noise die

When she said this, Cole didn't press further. Instead, he replied, "If work gets too exhausting, just stay home. It hurts me to see you working yourself to the bone. You know I can take care of you."Jaycie shook her head, her words deliberate. "I'm not anyone's accessory."Cole was taken aback. "What do you mean, accessory?"Not wanting to answer, Jaycie changed the subject. "Why are you back so early today? Didn't you have work?""I've been so busy lately, and I haven't had time to spend with you. So today, I thought I'd make some time." His expression softened, and he was back to being the doting boyfriend she once knew. "What do you want to do? Dinner? A movie? Whatever you want, I'm all yours today."The old Jaycie might have been touched. After all, she knew he was the heir to Benson Corp, and his workload was no joke. The fact that he was willing to set aside time for her would have been proof that she meant something to him.But now, as she looked at him, she couldn't he

The group of men spoke in low tones, but their words carried a sharp edge, and the occasional glances they threw Jaycie's way made it clear their comments were meant for her ears. She didn't react, though. Soon enough, they'd be standing before her, addressing her respectfully due to her real identity.The auction continued, and the next item was brought to the stage—a crystal sculpture named "Timeless Harmony". The piece was exquisite, made from high-quality crystal, but what really caught everyone's attention was the auctioneer's announcement that it was the work of Castiel Rivero, the legendary master of crystal sculpture.Eileen's eyes lit up when she heard Castiel's name. She immediately raised her bidding paddle and turned to Cole. "This piece has incredible value! Your grandmother's birthday is the day after tomorrow. This would be perfect as a gift for her!"Jaycie, who had glanced up at the sculpture when Castiel's name was mentioned, quickly looked away. Her voice was ca

Jaycie froze mid-step, instinctively ending the call. She couldn't help but wonder why everyone seemed to enjoy sneaking up behind her and speaking out of nowhere. Turning around, she saw Cole standing there, his expression far from pleasant.After a moment of hesitation, she explained, "It's nothing. Just an old colleague asking what I'm planning to do after quitting my job. I joked that I was going home to inherit the family business."Cole frowned. Jaycie wasn't the type to make such jokes. Something felt off, but before he could press further, she had already taken a few steps ahead and called back to him, "Aren't you coming? There are still a few jewelry pieces left to be auctioned."Assuming she wanted to buy some jewelry, Cole nodded and followed her.Back in the auction hall, Cole bid on several high-end jewelry pieces, winning them all. Once they were packaged, he handed them to Jaycie. She looked down at the boxes and said softly, "I don't wear jewelry like this."Cole

Cole had expected her to be upset or even angry, but instead, she simply nodded calmly. "Alright. I actually have some things to take care of today too."Not long after Cole left, Jaycie also headed out. She went shopping, picking out gifts for each of her close friends whom she was planning to meet later. When they gathered at the designated spot, her friends unwrapped the presents and gasped in shock—each box contained a brand-new luxury item."Jaycie, where did you get all these knockoffs? They look so real!""They're not knockoffs. They're genuine." Seeing their disbelief, she couldn't help but laugh. She then revealed her true identity. "Actually, the story I told you about my father gambling and my mother being seriously ill was made up. I'm actually the only daughter of the richest family in Housleton. I'm saying goodbye because I'm going home to inherit the family fortune."Her friends were stunned at first, then shocked, and finally overjoyed. They couldn't stop exclaimi

Chapter 7
After the meal, Jaycie and her friends parted ways, and Cole offered to drive both her and Eileen home. Perhaps remembering the earlier incident with the front seat, Cole had learned his lesson. This time, he brought out the family’s limousine, complete with a chauffeur, eliminating any need for a front-seat debate.The car glided smoothly toward the Wises’ residence, the ride uneventful. No one could have predicted what would happen next. Out of nowhere, a speeding, out-of-control truck barreled toward them from the opposite direction.The driver instinctively swerved, but with a deafening crash, the two vehicles collided.As the windows shattered and the force of the impact threw Jaycie to the side, she caught a glimpse of Cole shielding Eileen in his arms, protecting her from harm. He was gently patting her back and soothing her, his focus entirely on her.Jaycie’s consciousness began to fade, and at that moment, she remembered the accident her friends had mentioned earlier. It

During the two days Jaycie spent in the hospital, Cole seemed to revert to the attentive, caring man he had been at the start of their relationship. But, as expected, his attentiveness didn't last. It ended the day she was discharged.He claimed he had urgent business at the office and arranged for the driver to take her home. Not long after, she received a taunting message from Eileen.[Sorry. Since Cole and I are getting married, he's taking me to the family estate for dinner today and won't have time to pick you up from the hospital.]Jaycie didn't let the message bother her. She quietly went home and began packing her things.On the day of her departure, she woke up early. Seven hours before her flight, she was hauling her suitcases out the door when she ran into Cole, who had just returned.Seeing the pile of luggage at the entrance, he paled, and a wave of unease washed over him. "What's all this?""Didn't I say I was going to Housleton for a trip? You even bought the ticke

Chapter 9
As Jaycie stepped out of Housleton Airport while dragging her suitcase behind her, a sleek, unmistakably expensive Bugatti was waiting curbside. The man standing beside the car immediately opened the door for her as she approached."Ms. Stanton, please get in."Her luggage was loaded into the car, and she slid into the back seat, naturally striking up a conversation with the man now seated in the driver's seat. "Leonard, why are you picking me up? Where's the chauffeur?"Leonard Cobb chuckled, the faint wrinkles at the corners of his eyes making him look even more kind. As the car pulled into the flow of traffic, he replied, "You haven't been back in so many years, Ms. Stanton. When I heard you were returning today, I insisted on coming to get you myself.""Looks like you missed me," Jaycie teased, a playful glint in her eyes. Then, shifting the topic, she asked, "How have Mom and Dad been these past few years?"Leonard had been the Stantons' butler for decades and had practically

Jaycie was taken aback. She quickly waved her hand, insisting she wasn't interested. But Megan wouldn't take no for an answer. She pulled out her phone and forwarded a contact to Jaycie."I met the young man before he went abroad. He's incredibly handsome. Even if there's no romantic spark, it wouldn't hurt to make a new friend."Unable to refuse her aunt's enthusiasm, Jaycie finally agreed to the idea. However, when she opened the contact Megan had sent her, she was surprised to find that she already had the person added as a friend.She clicked into the chat, but there was no nickname saved. The profile picture was a crescent moon against a pure black background, and the username was simple—just two letters, Z.R.Jaycie frowned, trying to recall when she had added this person, but nothing came to mind. She didn't ask any questions and simply locked her phone screen. After all, she figured all the answers would reveal themselves when they met.While Jaycie was preparing for this
