"Yes, we've been close friends for over ten years."

Charles nodded. "Zac has good judgment, making friends with someone like you."

Even though it was their first meeting, Charles was a good judge of character. He could tell that Shane was not just talented in business but also ruthless enough to elevate the Ford Corporation to its current standing in just a few years.

With more time, the Ford family’s influence would only grow stronger. Having someone like Shane as a friend could only benefit Zac.

Shane's lips curved slightly. "It’s an honor to be his friend as well."

In just a few words, Charles found himself liking Shane more and more. A rare smile appeared on his usually stern face. "Now that you're in the capital, you're my guest. If you need anything, just let Zac know."

"I won’t hesitate to ask, Mr. Fisher," Shane replied before leading Haley away.

Haley was reluctant to leave. She had not yet seen her mother. Shane held her close and whispered in her ear, "Now isn’t the

    The subordinate, although puzzled, nodded in agreement. After hanging up, Charles sat on the sofa in his study, a cigarette between his fingers. The smoke slowly dispersed around him, making the expression on his handsome face even more hazy and indistinct.No one knew what he was thinking. After a while, the ashtray on the coffee table was filled with cigarette butts. Charles took a deep breath, stubbed out the last cigarette, and headed to the bathroom.Those who knew Charles well understood that he only smoked this much when he was dealing with something particularly difficult. The nicotine helped him stay alert and think more clearly.When he came out of the bathroom, he was still damp. His robe was clinging to his lean frame, softening his stern demeanor with a touch of domestic warmth.At some point, Yvonne had woken up and was smiling at him. Charles paused, then climbed into bed and wrapped his long arms around her."Why are you awake? Couldn't sleep or are you feeling u

    He had recognized Haley at the banquet today. Her face was strikingly similar to Yvonne's. If she appeared in front of Yvonne, all his efforts over the years would be in vain. He had finally brought Yvonne back to his side and would not allow anyone to ruin their relationship. Especially since, Haley was Joe's daughter....On the other side.Snuggled in Shane's arms, Haley sneezed. Feeling a chill, she burrowed closer to him. Shane, a light sleeper, woke up and tightened his embrace around her, adjusting the air conditioning a couple of degrees warmer. Seeing her settle back into a peaceful sleep, he closed his eyes again.The next morning, Shane pulled back the curtains and was about to wake Haley when he froze. Their room was on the third floor, giving him a clear view of the road outside the villa. He thought he saw someone watching them. His brows furrowed, eyes flashing with a cold light.As he contemplated who might have sent the men outside, he heard Haley stretc

    Henry felt incredulous and thought, "Why is it always me who gets hurt? Is there no justice in the world?"During breakfast, he made a point of loudly cutting his fried egg, casting resentful glances at everyone at the table. Tapping his fingers lightly on the table, Shane asked, "Did you forget all your manners?"Henry whined, "It's not my fault! It's Zac's fault for treating us differently. He pampers his sister but tosses his friend aside. It's not fair!"Zac and Shane responded in unison, "And?"Henry sighed dramatically. The frustration was real.Henry silently lowered his head, chewing his food forcefully, his eyes filled with a grievance that seemed about to overflow.Seeing this, Haley could not help but laugh. "Alright, let's stop teasing him and finish our breakfast."Henry looked at her with teary eyes. "Thank you, Haley. You're the only one who understands me."With Haley's intervention, Zac and Shane eased up on their teasing. After breakfast, Zac went to the gar

    The bodyguards in black were startled and turned around instinctively, only to be met with a face as cold as ice. They exchanged glances, their eyes filled with shock and confusion. They were highly trained professionals, adept at tailing without being noticed. How had Shane spotted them?Shane sneered, a trace of mockery in his eyes. "Let me guess, you were sent by Charles Fisher?"The bodyguards were taken aback. "You...""Wondering how I knew?" Shane crossed his arms and leaned against the wall. His deep, calm eyes radiated an invisible pressure. The bodyguards turned to leave but were stopped by Shane. "Going somewhere? Delete the photos, or do you think you can get out of here?"Looking around, the bodyguards noticed several men, casually dressed but exuding an unmistakable aura of strength, watching them. Even without engaging, it was clear these men were skilled fighters. In a confrontation, they would stand no chance.After a moment's hesitation, the bodyguards pul

    So, whether she had a father or not did not really matter much to her. Shane silently sighed and said, "Alright, stop thinking about it. I'll handle this."No matter what it took, he was determined to help Haley get what she wanted....In the luxury hotel suite, Charles lounged on the sofa, a cigarette in one hand and the other casually draped over the back of the sofa, exuding a mix of coldness and nonchalance.After the bodyguards finished reporting the day’s events, he looked up lazily. "So, what you’re telling me is that not only were you discovered while following them, but you were also forced to delete the photos?"The bodyguards kept their heads low, not daring to look up.Charles let out a cold laugh, his deep voice carrying a hint of cruelty. "Then what’s the point of you coming back?"The two bodyguards immediately apologized, "We're sorry, sir. We failed in our duties and are willing to accept any punishment."Charles waved a hand dismissively. "Forget it, just d

    Over the next few days, Shane kept Haley at home while he went out on mysterious errands. Bored and restless, Haley asked Zac for a laptop.After binge-watching some shows, she logged into a video conference at the scheduled time to hear her subordinates' reports. Despite her absence, the company departments continued to operate smoothly. None of the employees dared to disturb her unless it was something truly important.Seeing Haley’s rosy face on the screen, many employees couldn’t help but feel envious. When would they get a chance to travel like their boss?Noticing their glum expressions, Haley asked, "What's wrong? Is something going on at the company?"Everyone quickly shook their heads. "No, no, absolutely not!""It's just that we have too many orders lately, and the small-scale suppliers we partnered with can't keep up with the demand."Haley pondered for a moment before instructing, "Layla, compile a list of reputable suppliers in Jasper City and send it to my email."

    After saying that, she slammed the laptop shut with a loud "bang."In the JY conference room, everyone stared at the now black screen, exchanging bewildered glances. They knew Shane and Haley were close, but they never imagined it was to this extent. Finally, everyone left the conference room with mixed feelings, having just witnessed an unexpected display of affection.Back in the capital, Haley glared at Shane, her cheeks burning with embarrassment. "This is all your fault! My image is completely ruined!" she exclaimed.Shane chuckled, pulling her into his arms. "Alright, alright, don't be mad. Let them see. They wouldn’t dare say anything."Haley was still fuming, pushing his hand away and turning her back to him. Shane patiently coaxed her, "Haley, my dear, how about you get back at me during my next meeting?"Haley snapped, "Shane! Don't bring this up again!""Okay, okay, I won’t mention it," Shane sighed, a hint of amusement in his eyes. His Haley was still so easily fl

    "Ah!"Haley gasped as she rubbed her head, which was sore from the impact. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a car speed past them. Through the closed window, she heard a low, threatening voice."Get out of the capital, or next time, it won't be this simple!"With that, the car sped off, its driver exuding arrogance. The driver slammed the steering wheel in frustration, cursing, "Bastard! If you’ve got guts, don’t run!"However, within moments, the car had disappeared from sight, leaving no trace. He glared angrily for a while before turning to Haley. "Madam, are you alright? Are you hurt? Should we go to the hospital?""No need, I'm fine. Who was that?" Haley asked. It was clear that the crash had been deliberate, given the taunting words left behind. Leave the capital? Not many people knew they were in the capital. Who was so eager to get rid of her?She rubbed her sore forehead and instructed the driver, "Can the car still run? We're running late."Before coming

    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
