Almost everyone seemed to be downcast, like wilting eggplants struck by frost.

"Prima, come with me!"

Having not been around for several days, Lydia was somewhat unclear about the current situation.

She immediately called her trusted assistant into the office to get a better understanding.

Prima hesitated for a moment, then followed Lydia into the office. After closing the door, Lydia urgently asked, "What's going on, Prima? Did something happen while I was away?"

"Ma'am, actually, during this period, more designers have been preparing to leave, especially..."

Prima paused, seeing Lydia's relatively calm expression, before continuing, "especially after the news about you was exposed online a few days ago."

Lydia clenched her fists. "And? Apart from those wanting to leave, is everyone else just not working? They all seem very idle!"

"That's because there's no work to do now!" Prima muttered discontentedly.

"What do you mean?"

"The remaining designers are worried that because of your si

    What Lydia didn't know was that after Steven left, he quickly dialed a number. "Chairman!""How did it go?""Rest assured, Chairman, everything is taken care of. The clients I assigned to Lydia are the most difficult ones; they shouldn't be easy to please.""Well done. I'll make sure your year-end bonus is doubled this year!""Thank you for your kindness, Chairman! This is all part of my job."

    Lydia extended her hand, her demeanor poised and unyielding. Her bright eyes remained clear even in such an unsavory environment.Before Wright could respond, Zavier sidled up and grabbed her hand with both of his, saying, “So you’re Lydia, nice to meet you!”As he spoke, his large, clammy fingers brushed over the back of Lydia’s hand. His lecherous eyes greedily took in her entire figure.Lydia's heart skipped a beat, feeling goosebumps rise all over her body, but she managed to pull her hand back calmly. “Hello.”Wright nodded, “Lydia, please sit.This is Zavier from Xinhua Real Estate, and this is Andrew from Hengsheng Group. They’re all friends, so no need to be formal.”Lydia felt something was off but still greeted them politely, “Hello, Zavier. Hello, Andrew.”Andrew, who had his head buried in a woman's chest, only waved his hand dismissively. Lydia pretended not to see and glanced around the room.Spotting a small armchair opposite the coffee table, she decided to sit there.

    Upon meeting Lydia, Wright found himself admiring this poised and charming woman, regardless of whether she was truly guilty of the accusations against her.Despite his usual preferences, he couldn't help but acknowledge her allure.Wright even entertained a fleeting thought that if not for his unique orientation, he wouldn't mind being with such a woman.Seeing Wright's silence, Lydia wasn't disheartened; she merely smiled slightly and said, “If this is too difficult for you, let's pretend I never came.”She stood as if to leave, but Zavier quickly grabbed her arm. “Lydia, don’t rush off. Wright is just considering it, he didn’t say he wouldn’t sign, right?”Wright, witnessing Lydia’s poise, felt a shift in his perspective.The company was his, and even though Universal Conglomerate collaborated with them, UC wouldn’t sever ties over him choosing Lydia as a designer.Moreover, Steven had only suggested giving Lydia a hard time, which Wright had already done. Lydia had navigated the s

    Bob hesitated. “I think she went to the third floor…”Before he could finish, Lambert had already disappeared from sight.Horace and Lennon exchanged worried looks.When Bob snapped out of it and was about to follow, they stopped him.“What happened?” Horace demanded.Bob reluctantly explained what he saw. Hearing this, Horace and Lennon could no longer sit still.They were concerned that Lambert, in his current state, might cause a big scene.They could only hope the man who took Lydia wasn't reckless enough to provoke Lambert.Who was bold enough to mess with Lambert's woman?Meanwhile, Zavier, unaware of the impending storm, was eager to take advantage of the situation.He assumed Lydia was just a small-time studio director and didn’t pose any real threat.After bringing Lydia to a room on the third floor, he became impatient, especially seeing her in her intoxicated, vulnerable state.Her flushed face and delicate features made her irresistibly alluring to him.Lost in lust, Zavie

    The manager stopped caring about Zavier in the room and eagerly followed Lambert and his entourage, escorting them all the way to the KTV's entrance.As Lambert got into his car, he lowered the window and said to the manager, "You did well!"The manager's face flushed with excitement.The boss had personally praised him! He hurriedly bowed to Lambert, "Thank you for the compliment, boss."With that, the black Maybach sped away, while Lennon and Horace returned to their private room to continue drinking."I knew Lambert wasn't as calm as he appeared. He can't let go of Lydia," Horace sighed. "But right now, it's truly a deadlock. Mrs. Halsey's death has erected a high wall between them, and with his father so adamantly opposed, I'm afraid..."Lennon, however, smiled serenely. "I don't think we need to worry. Lambert has always been methodical. I'm sure he'll come up with a perfect plan.""Let's hope so! It always seems so exhausting for Lambert to be in a relationship. It's like Romeo

    Odgen, though furious, couldn't refute Lambert. The information he received confirmed that Lambert had rescued the woman but hadn't stayed with her, merely placing her in a hotel room.This restraint was the only thing that kept Odgen somewhat satisfied; otherwise, Lambert would have faced more than just a forehead injury.Odgen's anger gradually subsided, but his attitude remained stern. Lydia was a thorn in his heart, a constant reminder of his wife's innocent death."I warn you, this better not happen again! Whatever that woman encounters is her own business and has nothing to do with our family. And you are not to use the company's resources because of her.""As long as you don't target her, I won't intervene either," Lambert insisted. He could avoid meeting Lydia and even try to give up his feelings for her, but he couldn't stand by and watch her get hurt.Odgen gritted his teeth. "Fine! I promise not to go after her intentionally, but you better keep your promise. Now, kneel bef

    "Yes, sir!"Before long, Lydia, who was in a stalemate with the bodyguards at the entrance, saw a familiar figure approaching.Her face lit up with recognition. Bob, Lambert's personal bodyguard, was someone she was very familiar with. Did this mean Lambert already knew they were here?"Lydia, come with me for now. Don’t block the entrance."Bob’s tone was much kinder than the stiff formality of the other bodyguards. He was clearly more compassionate.Lydia hesitated, but Bob continued, "Lydia, even if you don’t think about yourself, consider the child. Standing here and being mocked isn’t good for him."Lydia looked down at Wythe and saw the suppressed anger in his eyes, undoubtedly from hearing the surrounding whispers.She felt a pang of guilt and decided not to insist further, following Bob to the side.Despite moving away from the entrance, Lydia still attracted many eyes, especially from media reporters.Had the Halsey family not strictly forbidden photos and videos, this scene

    Lydia screamed hysterically, her expression one of pure anguish.Seeing her in such pain, Lambert felt as if his heart were being pricked by countless needles.“Let me tell you the reason!”A deep, hoarse middle-aged voice abruptly interrupted them.Upon seeing the newcomer, Lambert’s face grew even darker.His gaze fell on Bob not far away. Hadn’t he warned Bob not to let his father know that Lydia was here?Bob looked conflicted. He had indeed tried to block the news, but with so many people attending today, it was inevitable that two women discussing Lydia’s presence were overheard by Ogden, which is why he came out.Ogden's sudden appearance left Lydia momentarily stunned. She pursed her lips and called out, “Father...”“We’re not that close! Besides, Lambert was right before. Our family doesn’t welcome you. When Nydia was alive, she often criticized you, but I never expected you to be so ruthless. You murderer, how dare you show your face here?”Ogden's words ignited a flurry of

    "Lambert, at this rate, you could almost switch careers to become a nanny!" Horace teased, noticing how expertly Lambert cradled the baby.Unfazed by his friend's jest, Lambert beamed with happiness. "You wouldn't understand if you don't have kids. Once you get married, you'll know. This is my legacy, and I didn't get to care for Wythe when he was a baby, so I'm determined to be hands-on with Candice."No one could truly grasp this sense of compensation!Horace rolled his eyes, clearly at a loss for words. It was pointless to engage with someone so enamored with fatherhood.While the men gathered to chat, Thera leaned closer to Lydia and whispered, "So, Lydia, are you really back together with Lambert?"Lydia nodded. "Yeah. After everything that happened, I realized I need to cherish every single day. And Lambert is sincere—I can feel it.""That's great!" Thera sighed in relief, finally putting her worries to rest."What about you, Thera? I see you and Andrew getting along quite well!

    At this moment, Lambert felt completely at ease. It seemed that Lydia's earlier words were not just talk; she was genuinely ready to give them a chance!A smile crept onto Lambert's lips, but there was no time to think of anything else; he needed to take care of their baby, Wythe. Thanks to the maternal training classes he had attended with Lydia, he had learned a lot about caring for newborns. Gently, he picked up his daughter and quickly checked her diaper, only to find that she had wet it.With nimble hands, he changed her diaper, and the little one fell back asleep. Looking at her innocent face, Lambert's heart melted. This was his child, the result of his and Lydia's love.The baby slept soundly, and Wythe had been temporarily taken away by Bob, who had come to deliver some items. Now, only Lambert and Lydia remained in the room, but Lydia, having slept quite a bit earlier, was no longer drowsy."Are you still feeling unwell?" Seeing Lydia frown slightly, Lambert asked with conce

    Lambert glanced at his son's disapproving expression and was momentarily at a loss. "Wythe, you might've looked even more wrinkled than her when you were born, yet look at you now—a handsome young man," he teased, smiling at his daughter. Though wrinkly, he found her to be the most beautiful and precious little girl.Wythe huffed proudly, his lips in a slight pout. "I wasn't this ugly! Besides, you didn't see me when I was a baby." A hint of sadness crossed his face; he hadn't been as lucky as his sister—he hadn't had his dad by his side when he was born.Hearing the touch of bitterness in his son's voice, Lambert immediately understood. Wythe was jealous, understandably so. For all his maturity, Wythe was still just a child. For his first five or six years, he had only his mother and no father. He often envied kids with both parents, and when Lydia finally returned home, her on-again, off-again relationship with Lambert had left Wythe hurt and forced him to grow up faster than other

    Lambert paced restlessly in the hallway, nearly losing his mind. Every moment was agonizing, with Lydia's screams from the delivery room piercing his heart. He prided himself on being strong, yet in that instant, he felt an overwhelming urge to flee, especially as her cries of pain echoed through. Angry at himself, he slapped his own face—Lydia was suffering because of him, and he'd never realized how terrifying childbirth could be."Calm down. This is what childbirth is like," a woman nearby said kindly. She was the mother of a little girl, and both she and her husband couldn't help but notice how visibly nervous Lambert was. "You've been through this once before, so you should be able to handle it," she added."Why isn't it over yet? Is she in danger?" Lambert's mind was in turmoil, fighting the urge to rush inside and see Lydia himself.The little girl's father stepped in, attempting to reassure him. "You and your family will be just fine," he said. The man recalled his own frantic

    At that moment, Lydia was on the verge of total collapse, as if her entire world had crumbled in an instant, and sorrow overwhelmed her.What had she done? What had she been doing these past days?She had been recklessly indulging in Lambert's affection, without any sense of gratitude or restraint. Now, she regretted her actions deeply. If only she had known this day would come, she would never have argued with Lambert or dismissed his love and efforts out of a misguided sense of pride.All she wanted was for him to be safe, to live happily with her and their children, never to be apart.Lydia's vision blurred as she stood in shock, unable to step closer to the crowd to confirm what had happened. But through a gap, she caught sight of a blood-red stain spreading across the ground. The sight was so jarring that it felt as though her heart had been ripped out of her chest."Mom, are you okay?"Wythe ran over, panting, to see Lydia sitting dazed on the ground, staring at the red stain in

    Lambert's words made Wythe roll his eyes, secretly exasperated. What was going on with his dad? Wasn't everything decided? Why was he suddenly backing out at the last moment?Men! Their thoughts are just impossible to figure out!Lambert had indeed changed his mind unexpectedly. He didn't want to deceive Lydia, even if it was just a harmless joke. Something about it felt wrong. Even if it was to bring them closer, lying to her didn't seem right.Wythe's plan had been simple he wanted Lambert to stage an accident, making it seem like he'd been hit by a car. He was certain his mom would show her true feelings; if she still cared for him, there was no way she'd just stand by. It was a good plan, but now that the moment had come, Lambert didn't want to test Lydia this way.People's feelings shouldn't be tested.Wythe grew increasingly anxious. They'd prepared everything, but now his dad was retreating? That wasn't like him at all! Taking advantage of n

    Half a month had passed since Lydia's last check-up. Lambert continued caring for Lydia with the same attentiveness, unbothered by her cold attitude towards him. Although her indifference saddened him, he was undeterred; his determination grew in the face of difficulty, a testament to his personality.But little Wythe had had enough. He felt it was time to give his parents a nudge towards reconciliation. Yes, it was his turn to step up!So, one morning, when Lambert went out early to buy groceries as usual, Wythe found an excuse to tag along. Lydia didn't think much of it; over time, she had noticed Lambert's earnest efforts and couldn't deny feeling somewhat touched, even if her heart remained conflicted. Deep down, she feared reopening herself to love, only to be hurt again.After all, "Once bitten, twice shy," as they say. Lydia never saw herself as particularly brave—in fact, in love, she was timid and afraid. She longed for a peaceful, uncomplicated l

    Once, Lydia believed she and Lambert would grow old together, inseparable and loyal. But her genuine love had only brought repeated hurt and disappointment. That's why she had fled Nova City, leaving behind everyone she knew, so this time, she refused to open her heart again.Lambert sighed, his tone gentle. He knew Lydia wouldn't easily open up to him again, but he didn't mind; he was willing to wait. Determined, he led her to the prenatal clinic, aware of the many tests ahead—ultrasounds, blood tests, monitoring the baby's heartbeat—a series of over ten examinations. Each department was exceptionally busy, requiring an immense amount of patience.Throughout, Lambert remained unwaveringly attentive, showing no sign of impatience. He stayed by Lydia's side with the eager anticipation of any expectant father, his heart fully in it.Before the ultrasound, Lydia needed to drink water, but Lambert, inexperienced in these matters, hadn't prepared any. She didn't feel inclined to remind him

    Happiness, it seems, makes people wish the same for those around them. Like the husband in the next hospital bed—he had the sense to keep quiet the moment he sensed the tension between Lydia and Lambert.Lambert didn't seem to mind Lydia's sudden outburst. He simply took off his suit jacket, now stained with soup, and said regretfully, "The soup spilled, Lydia. I'm afraid you'll have to wait a little longer. I'll have someone bring a new one right away! Why not have a piece of cake to tide you over?"Lambert's calm demeanor only made Lydia feel as if her anger was landing on nothing but soft cotton, frustrating her even more. What was Lambert up to? Was he mocking her on purpose?It was infuriating!Lydia knew her emotions were out of sorts lately. Ever since Lambert left, she hadn't had much of an appetite. When she found out his trip was delayed, everything around her began to irritate her. It was as though a cloud of anger clogged her heart, but she couldn't find a way to let it ou
