"I know I was wrong. I swear I'll never do it again!"

"Forgive you? Who’s going to spare our madam? The only reason you were able to marry James is because of her kindness. Otherwise, do you think you'd still be alive to see tomorrow?"

Xena was sobbing uncontrollably, her meticulously applied makeup smudged and her hair disheveled, making her look like a ghost. At this moment, her only thought was survival.

"I truly know I was wrong. Please, let me go. I promise I’ll never do anything to hurt Haley again!"

"The most worthless thing in this world is a promise. Why should I believe you?"

Xena sniffled, feeling aggrieved, and asked, "What do you want me to do?"

"Publicly apologize to our madam and turn yourself in to the police," the man said calmly.

Xena refused immediately, not even considering it. "No, that's absolutely impossible!"

She thought to herself, "Bow down to Haley? Not in this lifetime! Haley was nothing, unworthy of my apology!"

The man laughed coldly, roughly push

    Haley had no idea about Xena’s ordeal and was comfortably nestled in her husband's arms, fast asleep. Although it was already late at night, Shane was wide awake, gazing at Haley's face without a hint of boredom. No matter how many times he looked at her, he never got tired of it.In her sleep, Haley shifted slightly, snuggling closer to Shane, which made his heart melt. He leaned down and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead. "Goodnight, my Haley," he whispered before closing his eyes and drifting off to sleep, holding her tightly.The next morning, Haley was woken up by her alarm. She quickly slipped out of Shane's arms, ready to start her day. But just as she tried to get out of bed, a strong arm pulled her back. "Sleep a little longer," Shane murmured."I can't, today is the design competition. I have to go to the office first and lead the designers to the event," Haley explained.Shane opened his eyes and kissed her forehead. "Alright. Good luck today, Mrs. Ford."Haley smi

    Haley nodded and responded in her indifferent tone, "Oh."Stella, who had originally intended to boast in front of Haley, was left speechless. She thought to herself, "Oh? What's with that attitude?"It felt like punching a pillow, leaving Stella with a deep sense of frustration.She glared at Haley, determined to prove herself. "So what if you've inherited JY? Today, I'll show you what real skill looks like."Haley remained unfazed by the challenge. "Sure, anytime."She was curious to see what Stella was up to.At that moment, a staff member came out and addressed the contestants waiting in the hall, "The competition is about to begin. Please get ready."The previously noisy hall fell silent as everyone prepared to enter the venue according to their assigned numbers. There were over 20 contestants, including some well-known industry designers and a few fashion design students from nearby universities.Haley quietly encouraged her team, "Don't be nervous during the competition.

    After saying her piece, Haley turned her attention away from Stella, not giving her any more thought. Marrying Shane had never been about money or status for her. Initially, she just wanted to get back at James and Xena. But later, everything Shane did for her won her over. She ended up falling for him almost without realizing it. After that, everything fell into place naturally.Thinking of Shane, Haley could not help but smile, her dimples showing, radiating a sweetness that was hard to describe. Onlookers could not help but be drawn to her. Some reporters even raised their cameras to capture her image.Stella, observing this from the side, felt a surge of jealousy. Life truly was unfair. Some people were born with everything. Haley had been the princess of JY Group from birth. Even after being betrayed by James and abandoned by her father, she was still cherished by Shane.Stella’s thoughts were interrupted by the announcement from the staff, "Contestant number 23, Xena Carte

    The intensity of Haley's presence made the staff member nervous. If something went wrong at the competition, her paycheck would definitely be affected. She hurried to the back and quickly returned with the items Haley had requested."Miss Haley, here are the things you needed."She glanced at the countdown timer and noticed there was less than half an hour left, her heart tightening with worry. "Miss Haley, will you have enough time?"Haley glanced at the clock, frowning slightly. It would be tight, but she was confident she could manage."It's okay. It wasn't your fault. Just be more careful next time," she reassured the staff member in a low voice.The staff member let out a sigh of relief. "Thank you, Miss Haley, thank you so much." Not wanting to waste any more of Haley's time, she quickly left.Stella had been keeping an eye on Haley's situation. Seeing Haley's sketch ruined brought a smug smile to her lips. It seemed luck was on her side today! She was sure she would win th

    "Find out who did this! I want to know who dared to mess with my woman," Shane commanded, his voice seething with anger.Even through the phone, Dean could feel his boss's rage. After hanging up, he rubbed his arms, noticing the goosebumps that had formed. Someone was definitely going to pay for this.On stage, Haley was still deeply focused on her sketch. The time left was rapidly dwindling. Creating an outstanding piece in just half an hour was almost impossible. All the contestants here were highly skilled, so Haley could not afford to take them lightly.As the countdown approached its final moments, everyone watching the competition held their breath, their eyes glued to the screen displaying Haley's work. Despite knowing the near-impossible odds, they could not help but feel anxious for her.With only ten seconds remaining, Haley's hand continued to move with precision. Many spectators shook their heads, thinking she had no chance, and began to shift their attention to the oth

    Louis was about to say something when a cool female voice interrupted from his side. "Mr. Lowe, it's best not to jump to conclusions before we've seen all the entries."The speaker was Luna Jenkins, the founder of a fashion company, known for her sharp looks and even sharper tongue. Mr. Lowe's expression stiffened. "Miss Jenkins, what I said is the truth. Can you find a design better than Stella Campbell's?""Why don't you continue looking at the remaining entries?" Luna gave him a cold glance, seemingly seeing through all his schemes.Feeling a bit guilty under her icy gaze, Mr. Lowe reluctantly continued, though his confidence wavered. "Fine, I'll look. I doubt there's a design better than Stella's—"He abruptly stopped talking. His eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at the design in front of him.Seeing his reaction, the other judges quickly gathered around. When they saw the exquisite design, flawless in every detail, their expressions turned to shock. How was this p

    Luna, known for her strong personality, did not change her attitude regardless of the other person's status. At this moment, her stance was unwaveringly firm.Louis opened his mouth to say something but ultimately stayed silent. Luna was right that he had no evidence to prove Haley had cheated. Yet, he remained convinced it was impossible to produce such an outstanding piece in just half an hour. Even as a top designer with over 20 years of experience, he doubted he could achieve that.How could a 20-year-old girl like Haley do it?When the judges' scores were announced, the other judges gave Haley's work scores of 9 or even perfect 10s. Only Louis gave a score of 2.Haley was momentarily stunned when she saw Louis's score. Just as she was about to speak, a staff member asked, "Mr. Louis, could you explain why your score is so different from the other judges'?"Louis sneered and said, "Maybe my standards are different. In my view, a piece created through cheating is worthless."

    "What are you so proud of, Haley? It's just empty talk!" Stella thought to herself. Stella could not believe that someone as young as Haley could genuinely be that skilled. Even industry veterans would not dare claim they could produce an outstanding design in just half an hour. Why should Haley be any different?A judge in the audience asked, "Miss Haley, can you tell us if you cheated?""No, I did not," Haley replied firmly.Louis sneered and spoke in a harsh tone, "Creating such an excellent design in half an hour? That's impossible."Despite the skepticism, Haley remained unruffled. She calmly replied, "Just because you can't do it doesn't mean others can't.""You...!" It was the first time Louis's professional ability had been questioned openly, and he was furious. He slammed his hand on the table and shouted, "You're a rookie in this industry. How could you have such skills? Are you just trying to create a buzz for your company?"The audience erupted in murmurs again, a

    Since that day, the number of bodyguards at Violet Grove had multiplied several times, and Shane even had the latest security system installed at home. It was a top-of-the-line model with built-in defense mechanisms. If anyone unfamiliar tried to break in, the alarm would go off instantly. After hearing about how close Evangeline and Nicholas had come to being kidnapped, no one thought these precautions were excessive. In fact, they only wished more could be done."This is just despicable! I can’t believe Xena could be so vicious!""We were too soft on her before. Someone like that is just a waste of air."Shane and Haley remained silent, but their thoughts were the same.Shane reassured everyone, "It’s over. Xena will never have another chance to get out."Hearing this, everyone felt a bit more at ease."By the way, where are Mom and Dad? I don't see them," Haley asked, noticing that her parents were not around, though everyone else had gathered.Zac didn’t say anything but q

    Just the thought of what could have happened made Haley’s heart ache unbearably.The nannies stammered for a long time but couldn’t describe the person who had approached them. All they could recall was that the person had been thoroughly covered and that it was a woman.Shane immediately called his assistant, instructing him to investigate as soon as possible.It was past 3 a.m., and Haley still sat at the edge of the bed, unable to close her eyes. Her eyes were red from exhaustion and worry.Shane wrapped his arms around her, whispering words of comfort, "Don’t be afraid, it’s all over now. Everything will be okay."Haley sniffled and nodded. "I know, but I’m still so scared. We were just in time. If we’d been any later…"Shane pressed a kiss to her forehead. "I won’t let anything like this happen again. Trust me."At that moment, Shane's assistant, Dean, walked in, dragging someone who was covered head to toe.The person stumbled, falling to their knees in front of Haley and

    Late that night, Shane and Haley finally sent off the last guest. Haley leaned heavily against Shane, exhaustion written all over her face. "Ugh, no one told me getting married would be this tiring. I'm never doing this again."Shane chuckled. "Who else do you plan on marrying besides me?"Haley blinked innocently at him. "Who says you can't marry the same person twice? That's what they do in books and dramas."Shane sighed, wrapping his arm around her shoulders and gently tapping her on the forehead. "You need to cut back on those dramas."Haley giggled, rubbing her forehead. "Hey, they’re useful! I’ve learned a lot from them."Shane raised an eyebrow. "Oh? What did you learn?"A mysterious smile curved on Haley's lips. "Not telling you. You'll find out if you ever make me mad."Seeing that she wasn’t going to spill the secret, Shane let it go. He bent down and suddenly hoisted Haley over his shoulder.Caught off guard, Haley yelped in surprise. "Shane, what are you doing?"

    Jenny and Charlotte stayed behind to keep Haley company. Jenny teased her with a grin, "Can you believe we’re all getting married now? Back in college, we used to imagine what our future partners would be like."Haley shot her a sideways glance and retorted, "Not ‘we,’ just you. Bet you never imagined you’d end up with someone who’s nothing like your ideal type, huh?"Back then, Haley was still engaged to James Ford. Though James was far from a good guy, Haley felt obligated to honor her mother’s dying wish and marry him. She didn’t spend much time fantasizing about love. Jenny, on the other hand, practically lived in her romantic daydreams."Oh, so you’re teasing me now?" Jenny’s face flushed for a moment, then she lunged at Haley, pretending to tickle her.Haley dodged, laughing, and soon the two were playfully tussling. Watching from the sidelines, Charlotte couldn’t help but smile along with them.Soon after, the wedding officially began. The venue was packed with guests,

    On the fifth of May, the wedding took place as planned.Shane had started preparing the venue two days in advance, meticulously arranging every detail himself. The expansive wedding grounds were filled with romance, from the long red carpet laid out on the lawn to the balloons adding a whimsical touch.Haley donned her wedding dress and let the stylists work their magic, crafting an exquisite look for her. Just then, Shane entered the room, standing behind her with a warm smile."You look absolutely stunning today, Haley. The most beautiful bride in the world," he said, admiration in his voice.Haley turned her head toward him, her face glowing with happiness. "Weren’t you busy greeting the guests? How did you find time to sneak in here?"Ignoring the people around them, Shane bent down and kissed her lightly on the lips. "I stole a little break to come see you," he whispered playfully.At that moment, a teasing voice interrupted them from behind. "You two really can’t stop showi

    After what felt like an eternity, Haley was nearly out of breath when Shane finally let her go reluctantly. However, even though his lips had only pulled away slightly, his hands still firmly gripped her waist."Do you like it?" he asked, his deep eyes filled with affection.Haley blinked innocently. "Like what?""Me," Shane replied with a playful grin, his gaze never leaving her face. "Do you like me?"Her cheeks flushed, and her heart raced as she bit her lip and looked up at him. "Why don’t you guess?"Shane chuckled and pulled her onto his lap. "I’d guess... you do."Caught off guard, Haley let out a small yelp and instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck, shooting him a playful glare. "You already knew, so why ask?"Her response only made Shane laugh harder. After a bit more playful banter, he held her close as they leaned back on the couch. Then he brought up their wedding. "I talked with Mom and your parents. We all agreed that our wedding will be held in a month.

    Haley had always known how much Shane doted on Evangeline, treating her like the apple of his eye. But she hadn’t expected his protectiveness to reach such an extreme level. She couldn’t help but feel both amused and exasperated at the same time.Gently, she grabbed Shane’s hand and comforted him softly, "Alright, alright, don’t be mad. Hugo is only a month old. He didn’t mean any harm. If anything, it just shows how lovable our Evangeline is."Shane sat on the edge of the bed, the tension in his chest easing slightly, but he still couldn’t shake off all his frustration. In his mind, he made a firm decision that he would do everything in his power to protect his little treasure from now on. No one would be allowed to get too close to her again.From that day on, everyone noticed how Shane’s protectiveness over Evangeline had reached a whole new level. He barely let her out of his sight, as if he needed to be by her side 24/7. Anyone who dared approach her was met with a cold, pier

    Jenny couldn't help but laugh. "You haven't seen this little guy when he's awake. He's a real handful. If you did, you'd probably take back all those compliments."When Hugo was awake, he was full of energy, and when he cried, his voice could shake the walls. Jenny looked at Nicholas and Evangeline, who were awake but contentedly sucking on their tiny fists, and said, "These two are so much easier. They’re quiet and calm, the more I look at them, the more I like them."Seeing the twins were awake, Haley quickly leaned over, gently poking their soft, chubby cheeks. "Awake already? You only napped for a little while."Nicholas stared up at Haley with his big eyes, silently taking her in. Evangeline, on the other hand, waved her tiny hand and let out a soft "ah," which nearly melted Henry and Jenny's hearts.Henry knelt beside the crib, unable to tear his eyes away from Evangeline. He playfully reached out to her, and when she giggled at him without fear, he adored her even more. "S

    Haley took a small sip, smiling as she saw the eager look in Shane's eyes. "Mmm, it’s good.""Really?" Shane smiled as well, taking another spoonful for himself. He tasted it thoughtfully before nodding. "Yeah, it’s good. The seasoning is just right, and it’s refreshing. Even with the herbs, it’s not bitter at all."He quickly brought another spoonful to Haley’s lips, feeding her until the bowl was nearly empty.Seeing Haley’s good appetite, Shane tidied up the dishes and called Dean. "Tell the restaurant that all the chefs’ salaries are doubled this month."Dean was momentarily stunned but quickly recovered. "Got it. I’ll take care of it right away."As he hung up the phone, Dean couldn’t help but think, "When will it be my turn for a bonus?"As if Shane could read his thoughts, a low voice came through the receiver. "Haley’s pregnancy has been tough, and you’ve worked hard these past few months too. Your year-end bonus will be tripled, and you’ll get extra vacation days. Spend
