Mandy also believed that Niel's troubles were orchestrated by Chris.

Ava must be Chris' pawn, and that was all part of Chris' scheme.

Otherwise, how could things be so conveniently timed?

"What else do they want?” Tina sneered. “Of course, they want Niel permanently crushed. They're afraid that if he's not completely destroyed, he might make a comeback. Chris and Niel have been at odds for so many years. Now that they've finally managed to get Niel out of the company, they must seize this opportunity to do something that ensures he never gets back into the Jewell Group."

Mandy's frown deepened. Chris seemed to be closing in, leaving no room for escape.

"How can they be so ruthless?" Mandy said, growing angry.

Tina snickered. "Why not? Power struggles are like that. It's either you die, or I survive. If the roles were reversed today, trust me, Niel would do everything in his power to ensure Chris never rises again."

Mandy wanted to argue that her brother was not so heartless,

    She wished for Liam, Janet, Niel, and Mandy to meet an unfortunate fate. She was aware that her current mindset was dangerous and a bit off, but who cared at that point? She was only concerned with her own happiness.As long as those in the main household faced difficulties, she was content.Now, Neil's life was pretty much ruined, and Mandy would be next.With both children ruined, what good outcome could be in store for Janet and Liam?Tina could not wait to see what would happen!… Afterward, Paige secretly approached Tina to inquire if Mandy had overheard their conversation. Tina chuckled and said, "She probably didn’t, but she's suspicious."Paige was worried. "Huh?"Tina smiled. "Don't worry. I managed to brush it off." Then, she proceeded to share with Paige how she had navigated the situation.Paige stared at Tina in admiration. She thought Tina was incredibly clever. To be able to think of a plausible explanation in an instant was impressive. Paige imagin

    After that, Ava stopped replying to Randall. Her eyes reddened with tears.How busy could he be to type three simple words — I love you?It barely took a minute just to type it out on a phone. Was he really that busy? He was not; he had time. In all the words he typed, those three crucial words were conspicuously absent.She knew he did not love her.If he truly loved her, he would have effortlessly typed those three words instead of dodging her question. Typing those three words was easy, but he chose not to. Instead, he filled the space with meaningless chatter. He even tried to deceive her by claiming to be busy, yet here she was, bothering him with such trivial matters.Now, Ava understood clearly that Randall felt nothing for her. All he did was use her, thoroughly and unapologetically.Niel, on the other hand, was genuine in his affection.Ava was not foolish or naive. She could feel a man's sincerity, and she knew Niel was the one who truly cared for her. Since her

    Tina said with a half-smirk, “It's also because Chris can keep his composure. Otherwise, he would’ve fallen prey to countless women ages ago.”Paige paused, acknowledging the truth of Tina's words.… Paige shared that piece of information with Chris. She knew that many times, Tina would use her as a conduit to relay messages to Chris. In many ways, she felt like an emotionless messenger, but there was something oddly satisfying about being the bearer of gossip. "Honey, what do you think Niel and Mandy will do to Andrew?" Paige asked with a mix of excitement and curiosity in her voice.Chris responded nonchalantly, "I don't know."Paige looked at him with an indifferent gaze, leaving her gossip-loving heart at a loss. Gossiping with him was indeed uneventful and not nearly as interesting as with Tina.In reality, those matters were most amusing when gossiped about with Luna. The Jewells' family affairs should remain within the family. Sharing them with outsiders would o

    Paige, to some extent, felt she had a stroke of luck on her side."You got lucky running into me," Chris teased.Paige rolled her eyes. "If it were some other guy, a naive sweetheart like you would've fallen for a douchebag sooner or later, with your body, heart, and wallet all scammed."Indignant, Paige retorted, "I may be innocent, but I'm not stupid. I can tell if a man is good or bad."She believed even without encountering Chris, she would not have fallen prey to a douchebag. Despite not being the favorite in the Quirks, she was still part of the family. Many guys in school knew of her family's wealth and tried to pursue her, but she never let any of them succeed. Having interacted with them, she gradually understood their true nature, which was somewhat problematic.If she were a naive sweetheart, easily fooled by sweet talk, she would have been scammed by men long ago."Oh?" Chris raised an eyebrow, his expression teasing. "Are you sure?""Yes, I'm sure," Paige affirm

    Paige felt like she could not endure it any longer! Chris' narcissistic, arrogant personality probably needed a major setback for him to learn a lesson and tone down his irritating demeanor. Otherwise, Paige thought, he would remain insufferable for the rest of his life.The prospect of living with that annoying creature in her future made Paige feel like her seemingly charmed life was not all that wonderful. It seemed as if even a perfect life had some imperfections.As she expected, there were no perfect people or situations in the world. Maybe she was just asking for too much.Sighing, Paige realized that perhaps everything she envisioned was just wishful thinking.… James quickly made up his mind and decided to be with Nina, but he was convinced that his parents were just using threats to manipulate him. As the only son and successor of the Burt Corporation, they could not truly strip him of his inheritance. Such tactics were common in their social circle — parents

    Chris nodded. "That's a high possibility. If Russel and Maria support James and Nina, it would lead to James divorcing Sierra. They wouldn't want a child from James and Sierra because that would complicate things between Nina and James. Besides, James has never wanted children with Sierra, so making that choice now must be Russel's decision."Paige pondered. "But what about the next generation? Can't they nurture James and Nina's kids? Why does my sister have to be the one to carry the child?"Chris chuckled. "Because, my dear Paige, I only have one sister-in-law.""So?""If your sister successfully delivers a child, that child will become my nephew. Putting aside other matters, for the sake of you and the child, as long as Sierra and the Burts don't cross any lines, I'll show some consideration.""In that case, why wasn’t James willing to have a child with Sierra before?"Chris grinned. "Since he's willing to have a child with Sierra now, it's because Russel set conditions he co

    Sierra: [Seriously, I'm itching to kill James.]Paige: [Don’t you want to be an emotionless baby-making machine?]Sierra: [Well, at first, that was the plan. I married James to be an emotionless baby-making machine. But now, things have changed.]Paige: [How so?]Sierra: [Think about it. If I have a child, divorce James, and then James gets together with Nina, what happens when they have a child too?]Sierra: [Russell is currently mad at James, but he might forgive James in the future for the sake of the grandchild. What if, later on, James and Nina's son ends up competing for the family fortune with my son?]Paige: [Yeah, that could get messy.]Sierra: [Russell might be angry now due to James' disobedience, but father-son grudges don't last forever. What if Russell forgives James later on? My child's position would be awkward, right?]Paige: [What can we do?]Sierra: [What else can we do? I'll have to kill James after successfully producing the Burts' heir.]Paige: [Are you

    "What?" Nina looked at James with confusion. What on earth was James talking about? One moment, he claimed Russel agreed to his divorce with Sierra, and the next, he said Russel wanted him to have a child with Sierra. It felt like two contradictory things.If they were having a child, why the need for a divorce? If they were divorcing, why have a child?She could not wrap her head around it. James hesitated before explaining, "Dad… agrees to us being together, but on the condition that I must have a child with Sierra, the future heir of Burt Corporation."Even for James, it was difficult for him to say those words out loud. He desired to be with Nina, but the catch was having a child with another woman, which seemed cruel to Nina."What?" Nina could hardly believe it. What did he mean by Russel agreeing to them being together? Did she want to be with him? Why was he so shameless and selfish to decide on his own?Moreover, even if she ended up choosing James in the en

    Chris chuckled. "Really?"Paige's face turned slightly red. She felt embarrassed saying that, and it felt like Chris did not believe her. However, she bit the bullet and nodded. "Yeah, really."Chris smiled and said, "Well then, when you miss me next time, don't just think about it because thinking won't do you any good. When you miss me or care about me, just send me a message or call to check in. After all, I can’t read minds. Also, if you want to hug me, just hug me. Don't hold Hunter in your arms and say you want to hug me. That's just hypocritical."Paige faltered. Hug him when she wanted to hug him? Thanks, but she did not want to hug him. She could easily pick up Hunter, but could she lift Chris so easily? She was not that strong, to begin with."Remember. From now on, when you think of me, send me a message. Ask me if I've eaten, what I've eaten, if I'm tired from work, what I'm doing, or tell me what you're thinking about. Don't keep it all to yourself," Chris said wit

    What did he take her for?Besides, what could a woman do with photos? She was not one of those perverted men who did some creepy stuff with women’s photos."Nothing worth admiring?" Chris raised an eyebrow.Paige nodded. "Yeah, they’re nothing worth admiring."Indeed, there was nothing worth admiring about the photos."Ha!” Chris snickered.Paige remained silent and thought, ‘Here comes the snickering again.’"You don’t mean what you say," Chris remarked.Paige frowned. "What did I say that implies otherwise? You're a strange one. You're right here in front of me. Why would I need to admire the photos?"Chris grinned. "So you don't want to admire the photos, but you want to admire me, a living person."Paige blushed slightly, feeling embarrassed. She did not mean that, but what she just said seemed to imply exactly that."How would you want to admire me?" Chris teased.Admire was such an intriguing word.Paige blushed harder. "How else can I admire you? Just by looking,

    Before Hunter was born, Chris was the absolute darling of the family. His grandfather favored him, and his parents loved him dearly.However, Hunter's arrival had changed everything. The elders in the family revolved around Hunter all day long. Zander’s first question upon waking up each morning was about Hunter, followed by Ann cuddling Hunter, calling him her darling, and so on.It seemed like everyone had forgotten about Chris.How could Chris, who had always been so cherished, accept that?Chris's expression stiffened as if his thoughts had been unexpectedly revealed, his eyes flickering momentarily.Paige chuckled and said, "Are you seriously competing with a child for attention? Besides, you've been pampered by the family for so many years. Hunter has only been pampered for a few days."Chris retorted coldly, "I'm not competing with him."Paige did not buy it for a second. She smiled and said, "Sure, you're not competing with him. You're just afraid we'll spoil Hunter."A

    Before, Paige could not understand people showing off their babies and wondered why they would go crazy posting their kids on social media. Now, she got it. She found her kid to be the cutest in the world and could not help but snap his photos and post them on her social media platforms to share him with others, hoping for compliments and praise for her little one.However, she also understood that posting too much could annoy people. Hence, she restrained herself to only posting once a day and made sure to fit in a couple of photos!That was her absolute limit!She felt uneasy if she did not post her baby for a day. Then, when she saw her friends' comments praising her little one, she felt happy and proud, like they were getting closer as friends.Indeed, becoming a mom had changed her mindset.Chris, who was watching Paige show off their baby on social media, was even more dissatisfied!

    After what felt like ages, Ava lay on the hotel's large bed, staring blankly at the ceiling as the sound of rushing water filled her ears. Niel was in the shower. After releasing his pent-up emotions, he headed straight for the shower. Meanwhile, she lay there, her body aching. She did not want to move a muscle because every movement brought pain.Niel was thrilled with the new experience, but Ava was suffering. She was starting to regret getting involved with Niel. He was going overboard with satisfying his physical needs, and she feared that if things continued like that, Niel might end up causing her harm or maybe even unintentionally ending her life. She had heard of such things happening before, so now, she was caught between a rock and a hard place.On one hand, she did not want to let go of Niel and give up on all the sacrifices and efforts she had put in when she was on the brink of marrying into a wealthy family and becoming a billionaire's wife.

    Pierre fell silent, pondering Shelly's words carefully. Upon reflection, he found Shelly's proposal to be pretty reasonable and entirely feasible. If he were to wait until Shelly entered prison to serve her sentence, he could break up with her afterward. Once his relationship with Shelly ended, his parents would not be as angry. Even if there were some constraints preventing them from openly helping him, they could still assist him discreetly. After all, he was their son, who shared the same blood with them. His parents could not possibly abandon him entirely and let him fend for himself. By lowering himself in front of his parents, he believed they would not neglect him. By then, acquiring the five million dollars would not be too difficult.Shelly watched Pierre, not pressing him to respond. She believed Pierre knew what choice to make. Five million might seem like an astronomical figure, but for the second son of the Alfonsos, it was not much.After much deliberation

    She looked at the evil smile on Chris' face, and it all came back to her.Did Chris Intentionally take Hunter to the guest room to hand him over to the nanny so that it would make it easier for him to do what he wanted? What a scumbag! However, since it was something she had personally agreed to, she would not back out.Paige did not resist Chris, and a long time later, she collapsed on the bed. She felt like she should have taken care of Hunter and not fallen for Chris' tricks.Taking care of a child was not as exhausting!She was too tired to even move her fingers.The next day, Paige slept until late morning and then got up to go down for breakfast.When Ann saw Paige, she asked with concern, "Paige, didn't you sleep well last night?"Paige looked really worn out."Didn't Hunter sleep with the nanny last night?"

    Even if she offered her sincerity, Chris would not appreciate it, so what else could she offer? "Is money the only thing you have? Do you have nothing else besides money?" Chris said.He thought she was truly clueless. Even after being married for so long and having a child together, did she not know what he wanted?However, Paige was indeed puzzled. Besides money, what else did she have? What else could she have?Chris looked her up and down, speechless. Paige might not have understood what he meant before, but she did now. He meant that although she did not have money, she still had a young body.It seemed all Chris lusted was her body."I’m still recovering," Paige said with a slight blush on her face. She knew Chris had been patient for a long time. They barely had any intimacy during the last trimester of her pregnancy, but there was nothing she could do. She did not want to refuse him, but her body would not allow it.Chris glanced at Paige and said, "We can try other
