The next day, as Emma arrived at the office, her phone rang with news that left her in shock. She dropped the phone, her hands trembling.“What’s wrong?” David quickly caught her, picking up the phone and listening. His face darkened as he heard the details. Emma’s father had been in an accident. He usually had a driver, but today he had driven himself to the office. His car had crashed into a roadside pole, and he was now hospitalized.Emma steadied herself, her initial panic giving way to determination. Together with David, she rushed to the hospital. Her mother, upon hearing the news, had fainted and was being cared for by others Emma had arranged.“Doctor, how is my father?” she asked anxiously when the doctor finally emerged from the operating room.The doctor shook his head with a heavy sigh.“The injuries are severe. He may remain in a vegetative state.”“What? You’re lying!”Emma clutched her chest, her cries echoing through the hospital corridor. David held her tightly, his o
Mark looked at Sara for help, but Sara remained silent. She took out the documents and handed them to everyone. "This is the evidence. Mark's company has committed a crime." Sara had secretly logged into Mark's private room in the villa on the mountain to steal the documents. Mark's father could barely stand, unable to believe he was being exposed in such a humiliating way. At this point, Mark had committed many crimes: he had killed someone, intentionally stolen Emma's company's information, and his own company was involved in illegal activities. "You're a scumbag, Mark. I hate you," Emily limped in, covered in wounds. Everyone immediately recognized Emily as she accused Mark of his crimes. Mark had beaten her, and Emily was ready to testify against him. "Surprised, aren't you, Mark? From the beginning, I knew Mark was my brother. We just pretended to set up this plan so you would fall into your own trap." Roy watched everything unfold in silence because his father was in the w
"Emma, do you know how much I truly despise you? Lily is much better than you," Mark said as he plunged a sharp knife in her heart.“I truly waited for this day and for you to die,” he finished speaking, laughed loudly, and stood up, leaving Emma to embrace the knife that was slowly dripping blood out of her heart."I never loved you; it was all just a drama for everyone. You loved me, right? Then die to prove it."The atmosphere in the house was both cold and rigid, and the room was now filled with the scent of fresh blood. Emma's body was covered in wounds, and she helplessly looked at him with eyes full of disgust, regretting that she couldn't rise and stab him. Emma hated him to the core. She never expected that this marriage was initially his plan, and her love for him had vanished completely. If someone were to ask her the biggest regret of her life, Emma would not hesitate to answer: loving him and marrying a scoundrel like him."Emma, why do you look so gloomy since you came b
After bringing Nancy home, Emma found herself standing in front of the Green mansion, a place both familiar and estranged, five years ago.Unable to restrain her emotions, Emma's feelings surged as she entered the grand hall, seeing her parents' portraits, their eyes filled with tears.If it weren't for her misguided marriage to Mark in the past, her parents wouldn't have met such a tragic end. The accident that year was Mark's conspiracy, resulting in the deaths of both her father and mother. Emma, fortunately, survived, embraced by them but left with the agony she didn't want to remember or relive."Emma, weren't you supposed to be at Mount Denali, praying for Mark's happiness? Why are you back so soon?" Her mother, Mabel, asked gently.Emma struggled to hold back tears in her eyes. She approached her mother, smiling faintly, realizing that everything had changed. Emma would make Mark pay for his deeds, and the William family would soon be ruined by her hands, ensuring that no one w
Today, Emma wore a shoulder-bearing dress that showcased her alluring figure. Her everyday tied-up hair was now gently let loose, adding to her allure. She glanced around; in her previous life, she never visited places like this, always holding a hint of disdain. Her phone chimed with a text message, and she picked it up."Where are you?" It was a message from Nancy, who had planned to go shopping together but couldn't find Emma at home."I'm at the nightclub."On the other end, Nancy almost dropped her phone. Emma, who had never come to such places before, was now here on her own."Who are you with?""Alone."Nancy, worried for her friend, quickly got in her car and headed to the nightclub. Emma placed her phone down, continued scanning the surroundings, and took a sip of her drink, frowning."If you can't handle it, don't drink it."A deep, low voice echoed in Emma's ear. She turned her head and recognized David. Today, Emma's purpose for coming here was to meet David. She had resea
Upon returning from the nightclub, Emma hurriedly took a shower. She lay on her beloved bed, holding the black card she took from David's wallet. This man was truly unpredictable, but he was the one who would help Emma seek revenge.Emma recalled the scene just before her death. At that time, she had returned from studying abroad, complying with her family's intention to arrange a marriage. The predetermined marriage filled Emma with resentment. She loved Mark, but he married her only for the wealth of the Wilson family.FLASHBACKThe car was navigating through the heavy rain on a difficult road, carrying Emma, her parents, and Mark back to the mansion."Dad? The road seems challenging.""Yes, you and your mother should sit carefully."Normally, the family's private driver would take them, but today, Emma's father insisted on driving himself. Suddenly, the brakes failed, and the speed increased rapidly. Outside, heavy rain made the road even more challenging."Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"The
The entire night, Emma found it difficult to sleep. Early in the morning, she woke up to find that she was late, hastily grabbing her phone."Damn it, why hasn't David contacted me?"Emma thought David would get in touch eventually, but there was no sign of any communication from him. Annoyed, she tossed David's black card into her wardrobe before heading downstairs."Miss, where are you going?"The butler was already there, waiting for Emma. She had returned from studying abroad just a few days ago. Mark was on a business trip at the same time, so they hadn't had a chance to meet. Though Emma, having come back to life, knew Mark was lying, she paid no attention."I'm going to the company.""The master said you should rest. Tonight, we need to meet the young master Mark's family."Hearing this, Emma furrowed her brows, looking around to ensure no one was present before turning to the butler."I know, I'll go to the company and talk to my father.""Yes."Finally, after Emma spoke, the
In a room at a restaurant, the food had already been arranged, and all five people remained silent, creating a somewhat heavy atmosphere. Finn Green took the initiative to speak."It's quite embarrassing; Emma said the girl would be here soon.""No problem, it's Mark's fault for not picking up Emma."After leaving the company, Emma immediately went shopping for clothes. Her father had instructed her to arrive a bit early and have a meal with Mark's family. However, Emma had managed to surprise her father by arriving an hour late."That's right; you should have picked up Emma," Mark Green admitted, taking responsibility. Mark had called Emma before coming, but she had declined, insisting on driving herself.As the uncomfortable atmosphere lingered, a sound reached them from the entrance."Hello, everyone; sorry, I'm late."All five people turned their eyes to Emma, who appeared in a tight black outfit. The black jeans and tight black top complemented her figure, and her makeup was diff

That afternoon, Roy's father, Steven Williams, held a meeting where he announced Roy's return to the company. Sarah, in her role as the company's brand ambassador, attended the meeting.When she saw Roy, she noticed he seemed different from usual. In the past, he had told her he didn’t care about the company, yet here he was, working at his father’s business.After the meeting ended, Sarah went to Roy’s office. When he saw her, he wasn’t surprised. He simply looked at her, waiting for her to say what was on her mind."Roy, why are you here?" she asked."This is my father’s company," he replied."I know, but that can’t be the reason you’re here now."It seemed Roy had already expected Sarah to come find him. He didn’t want to explain, which made Sarah even more worried. She approached his desk."Roy, you don’t like doing this job. Why are you forcing yourself?""I don’t want to see you by someone else’s side—especially Mark's."His words struck a painful chord in Sarah’s heart. She only
At a quiet café, Roy sat alone in his usual corner. This was the place where he and Sarah had first met. He recalled that day vividly—Sarah, then just a waitress, was being bullied by some unruly customers. Roy had stepped in to help her. At the time, Sarah didn’t know Roy was the owner of the café. Now, she was a rising star, and their relationship had evolved into a friendship. Yet, there seemed to be an invisible distance between them.As Roy sipped his coffee, his gaze wandered to the street outside, where he caught sight of Sarah chatting happily with another man. She had recently told him she was busy with work, which explained why they hadn’t been in touch as often.Feeling a pang of unease, Roy pulled out his phone and called Sarah. She had always turned to him during tough times, and their shared moments of solace had brought them closer.“Sarah, where are you?” he asked. “I’m out,” she replied. “Can we meet?”Before Sarah could respond, she abruptly hung up, distracted by
Kaning was escorted by the bodyguards assigned by David to a villa. As soon as she stepped inside, she saw her mother, grandmother, and even Gun there. When Gun saw her, he immediately rushed over, unable to hide his emotions as he hugged his sister tightly. "Are you okay? I was so worried." "I'm fine. Don’t let Mom and Dad find out."What Kaning had just done was incredibly dangerous, but fortunately, everyone was safe. David and Mary did not pursue the matter and even arranged a temporary safe place for her to stay.What David said was spot on—Mark would use Kaning’s family as hostages to force her compliance.Mark had sent his men to capture Kaning’s family, thinking his plan was flawless. However, his phone suddenly rang. "Speak," he said impatiently as he picked up the call. "I’ve thoroughly checked, sir. Neither at the house nor the hospital was Kaning’s family found." "Are you sure?" "Yes, sir."Hearing this, Mark hung up the phone, unable to suppress his anger. He was ex
In a room full of flowers, Kaning had already put on a seductive nightgown. Earlier, David had taken the initiative to contact her for a meeting. When she heard the doorbell, Kaning threw on a coat."You're here already?"David, looking dashing and exuding the aura of a mature man, stepped into the room filled with the scent of perfume. He glanced around, noting that Kaning had put a lot of thought into this. He carefully sat down in the chair, while Kaning had not placed any cameras. David merely smirked.He knew exactly what was going on. Kaning poured him a glass of red wine."You invited me here to make amends, didn't you?"Kaning gracefully sat close to him, the perfume scent making David wrinkle his nose. He simply smiled and then lifted Kaning's chin."Isn't that what you wanted?""You really understand what women want. I’m sure many have used this method to seduce you."David just gave a faint smile, took a sip of the wine, and looked at Kaning, speaking with a smile."What do
In a coffee shop, Nancy had arrived early. She had already ordered her favorite drink. She sat and looked at the clock, waiting for that person to show up.“Nancy, have you been waiting long?” Dylan hurriedly entered the café and sat down. He asked Nancy how she was, but instead of a warm response, he was met with a cold, indifferent attitude. “Not long.”Dylan had been trying to reach Nancy for several days without success. Today, when she contacted him first, he was very happy.“About what happened the other day, let me explain.” Nancy’s heart had already hardened. Her mood had been heavy these past days. She had made up her mind and was now looking at Dylan, but at that moment, all she could think about was the poor girl. She hoped that the girl’s words were true, and that Dylan was indeed a good man, only changed by circumstances.“No need. Do you know why I asked you to meet me here?” Dylan still didn’t understand, shaking his head. Nancy then gave a sarcastic smile. He had d
Since the day Nancy overheard Dylan telling lies, she hadn’t given him a chance to see her again. She even blocked his number and avoided him at the hospital whenever possible.Nancy didn’t know when she had gotten used to living without Dylan’s help, but she was managing just fine. Although they hadn’t officially broken up yet, she believed it was better to remain calm and let things resolve gradually.One day, after her hospital shift, a young woman with a slightly protruding belly entered her office.“Excuse me, is this Dr. Nancy’s office?”“Yes, it is. Did you come to the wrong place? I’m not an obstetrician,” Nancy replied politely.The woman looked hesitant, and Nancy immediately sensed that she wasn’t there for a medical consultation but rather to discuss something important.“Could you please step outside to talk with me?” the woman asked nervously.“Alright,” Nancy said after a moment’s thought, agreeing out of curiosity to hear what the woman had to say.“What is it? Go ahea
Emma initially paid little attention, but the name on the business card caught her eye. Earlier, she had felt the woman looked familiar, but now she was certain—it was Kaning, someone she had met before.However, something puzzled her. In such a short time, how had an ordinary girl like Kaning transformed and ended up here, looking so different from what Emma remembered?“This might work in your favor,” David remarked, handing Emma Kaning’s business card.“What do you mean?” Emma asked, her curiosity piqued.“You’ll find out soon enough,” David replied cryptically, his calm demeanor masking deeper knowledge.Emma couldn’t fully grasp what David was hinting at, but it was clear he knew something about Kaning. That realization made her even more aware of David’s meticulous nature. It became evident that David had sensed Kaning’s intentions from the moment she approached him. The exchange of contact information was something he had anticipated.Emma also began to suspect that Kaning’s ap
