After school, Tatiana drove back home.

"Madam, you're back," the butler greeted her, taking her bag.

She nodded, slipping off her high heels and putting on a pair of comfy slippers. "Is dinner ready?"

"It will be ready shortly," the butler replied.

Tatiana slowly walked into the lobby, surprised to find Maxim there.

As soon as Maxim saw her approaching, he set down his tablet and fixed his deep-set gaze on her.

Tatiana felt a bit puzzled by his intense stare and softly asked, "Maxim, you finished work early today?"

Maxim's eyes returned to his tablet, his tone cool. "There's nothing going on at the officetoday."

"Oh..."

Tatiana nodded and settled onto the sofa, picking up some strawberries that the butler had prepared, ready to enjoy a little pre-dinner snack.

Ever since the last time she had slept in his room, their relationship had subtly grown closer.

At that moment, even without anyone speaking, the atmosphere was comfortable and warm, rather than tense or awkward.

Just then, Maxi

    That outfit really suits you."Maxim snapped back to reality, raising a spoon to elegantly taste the soup in his bowl as he spoke softly.Hearing this, her eyes curved into a smile.Today, Maxim was surprisingly candid.Such compliments coming from him were particularly delightful.After finishing breakfast, Tatiana grabbed her briefcase and headed for school. After walking a few steps, she noticed Maxim following her. A faint smile appeared on her lips, but she didn’t say anything.As they both reached the door, Tatiana suddenly turned around and asked, "Are you really going to see me off?"Maxim kept his pace steady as he opened the car door, replying, "Not welcome?"Tatiana thought for a moment, noticing Maxim's expression darkening. She couldn't help but burst into laughter, sliding into the car with a mischievous glint in her eyes. "Well, I guess today you’ll just have to be my driver, Maxim.”Realizing he had just been played, Maxim felt a mix of irritation and amusement. No on

    Anna paused, looking at Tatiana in disbelief. "What?!"With a slight smile, Tatiana repeated in a calm tone, "I asked if you're about to die?"Anna was a bit confused by Tatiana's words, silently staring at her without responding.Her striking features radiated an imposing authority as she fixed her eyes on Anna. Her voice was cold and firm, "You need bone marrow. I have it. I must save you. If I don't, it would be heartless. Isn't that a form of moral coercion?"Upon hearing this, the crowd felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck them, their anger clearing the fog of confusion in their minds. Yes, donating was supposed to be a voluntary act. Tatiana had every right to refuse; if she chose not to save Anna, it could be seen as a lack of familial loyalty.But what kind of familial bond could there be when Anna was the daughter of a mistress? Anna accused Tatiana of being callous for not helping, yet here she was, pressuring her. Was that truly about family ties?The students prese

    And the author was from New York, which drew worldwide attention.The country had risen to prominence with the emergence of Z, standing above the heads of people from all nations. Everyone was eager to uncover the identity of this mysterious figure. Some even speculated that Z wasn't a person at all.In no time, conspiracy theories spread like wildfire across the globe. Just then, Z suddenly held a live stream. Although her face remained hidden, it confirmed that she was indeed a real person.Over the years, Z had published numerous papers, and people's interest in her grew daily. Yet, no one knew who she truly was or where she was located.Baret had always been a huge fan of Z, but he had previously thought that Tatiana was just a pretty face with no substance. He never imagined that Z was right under his nose, that Z was actually Tatiana. Reflecting on his earlier attitude, Baret felt a wave of regret wash over him.He quickly apologized, "Ms. Tatiana, no, no, no, Z, I really d

    The student seemed used to her reaction and replied wearily, "Anna is the second female lead in this drama..."As soon as the words left their lips, Ava's expression turned a bit strange. Although she had only recently become closer to Ms. Tatiana, she was aware of the history between Tatiana and Anna. Deep down, she looked down on Anna's underhanded tactics. She couldn't believe that her favorite director would choose Wendy for such a role.For a moment, she didn’t know how to react, letting out a sigh, “Oh, this…”The student understood Anna's feelings well and explained helplessly, “Well, even though Anna isn’t the best person and her acting skills are mediocre, she’s still a rising star in the entertainment industry. Plus, she has the backing of the Gold family, which means she has both money and looks. That’s enough to get by in this business.”That said, the thought of someone like Anna shining on stage while her favorite, Ms. Tatiana, could only watch made her feel frustrated

    Josh laughed heartily and replied, "I heard you’re teaching at Worbin University. I was actually planning to look you up, but I didn’t expect to run into you here."Tatiana chuckled, "Maybe this is just fate bringing me together with the champions.”Anna, standing nearby, felt a twinge of unease as she watched the two engage in their familiar and friendly conversation. She cautiously asked, "Director, do you know my sister?""Of course," Josh nodded. Turning to Anns, he continued, "If you want to join the crew, just let me know. Your relationship with Tatiana will work in your favor. She's my lucky star! Just because of her, I’d be happy to help you land a role. There's no need to rely on Maxim's connections."As soon as he said this, the crowd around them turned their mocking gazes toward Anna.So, she’s just another one with connections.Anna's face flushed red, and just as she was about to explain herself, Tatiana looked at her with a smirk, slowly articulating, "Oh?

    In the next moment, Anna's blanket was suddenly yanked away, revealing the terrifying face of Camille.Anna shrank back in fear, whispering, "Mom, what are you doing here…"Camille looked at her coldly and raised her hand, delivering a sharp slap.A clear red mark instantly appeared on Anna's fair cheek. Tears filled her eyes, but she didn't dare to make a sound."Look at the mess you've made!"Camille tossed her phone onto Anna's lap, her voice icy and piercing.Camille's slap had been hard, and Anna felt a burning pain on her face. She wiped away her tears and picked up the phone, only to discover a video of her being mocked by Josh at school had been posted online by someone. There was also a video of her previously slandering Rebecca Price, which had also gone viral. The comments on social media were filled with insults and ridicule directed at her.Some people even went to the Gold Family Group's Weibo page to mock Dominic for his infidelity.It was easy to imagine how furious

    Josh nodded in agreement, "That's true. Anna’s appearance doesn't fit the character of Jules Herman."Tatiana noticed that neither of them disagreed and continued, "Moreover, the most crucial point is that Jules Herman's character experiences significant ups and downs throughout the film. With Anna's current performance, it's hard to believe she can portray this rolewell."Josh nodded in agreement, now also doubting Anna's abilities.The manager was sweating profusely and had to remind Josh from another angle, "But the film has already started shooting. Even if Anna isn't suitable, we can't find a fitting replacement right now. Are we really going to halt production? That could damage the fans' trust."This was indeed a problem.Josh felt torn.At that moment, Tatiana suddenly suggested, "Then let's have Angelina Jolie try out for the role.""Angelina?" Josh asked, puzzled.The manager's expression darkened, and he coldly replied, "She's just a stand-in for Anna, and she has no popula

    The butler provided the name of the hospital, and Tatiana wasted no time driving there.Upon her arrival, the butler had someone waiting downstairs to escort her to Stefan's hospital room.Stefan was elderly, and as Tatiana entered the room, she noticed his face had a slight bluish tint. She couldn't bear to see him in pain as he's the only one on her side.After taking just a few steps, she found herself out of breath. She examined him closely and discovered that Stefan had been poisoned. Although the amount was small and wouldn't be immediately fatal, the toxin had invaded his nervous system and would slowly destroy his body over time.Tatiana knew that she could create an antidote for this poison, but there was a critical issue: the dosage of both the poison and the medicine couldn't differ by more than 0.1%. If the antidote was administered in too high or too low a dose, it would accelerate the person's death.Therefore, without knowing the exact amount of poison, she couldn't re

    Feeling the sting, Tatiana finally snapped back to reality. She rubbed her forehead and looked at Maxim, saying, “Why did you flick me?”“Who told you to zone out? Do you remember what I just said to you?” Maxim didn’t need to guess that she hadn’t been paying attention, so he reluctantly repeated himself.To his surprise, Tatiana replied, “I was talking to you, but you didn’t hear me. You were busy chopping vegetables, and I was worried you’d cut yourself, so I didn’t want to distract you. I just wanted to help, but I didn’t realize the water was hot and ended up burning myself.”After saying that, she felt like she had only added to Maxim’s troubles. With a pout, she said, “Fine, I’ll just leave you to it. Take your time.”With that, Tatum waved her little hand and walked away.Watching her retreating figure, Maxim couldn’t help but feel helpless. He lowered his head and continued chopping vegetables, but the love in his eyes and the smile at the corners of his mouth were almost o

    While Tatiana was absorbed in the movie, she didn’t notice that Maxim, who had previously worn a serious expression, broke into a smile the moment he felt her lean closer.The film was a classic, and as it wrapped up, Tatiana finished the last of the fruit on the platter.The softness of the couch made Tatiana reluctant to move, so she just stayed seated."Are you not getting up? Do you plan to skip dinner tonight?" Maxim asked, looking at the person still lounging on the couch with irritation."Um..." Tatiana's originally cool tone took on a sweet, childlike quality due to her lazy demeanor, and Maxim found himself surrendering.With no other choice, Maxim said, "Alright, if you want to keep sitting, then go ahead. Do you need any fruit?""Yes, please." Handing the fruit platter to Maxim, Tatiana looked up and smiled at him.After Tatiana finished a small plate of fruit, Maxim insisted on taking her to the supermarket.The two of them pushed a shopping cart together.

    "I have a high tolerance for you, but I also hope you won't keep showcasing your limited intelligence in front of me. It only makes me look down on you more, and it’s utterly pointless."With that, Tatiana turned on her heel and walked away, not bothering to glance back at Delany. There was really nothing more to say to someone like her.As Tatiana walked down the street, she initially planned to head home. However, she remembered Tara and realized she hadn’t seen her in the hospital earlier. She took out her phone and sent Tara a message. It didn’t take long for Tara to reply, confirming that she was back at school and not in class. Tatiana decided she would go visit her. Tara was happy to hear that.Putting her phone away, Tatiana hailed a taxi and headed over.Meanwhile, Tara had just finished her meal and put down her empty plate. She left the cafeteria, planning to wait in a small garden behind the school for the hot pot delivery to arrive.Just before Tatiana arrived, Tara s

    Vance was taken aback by Tatiana's words. The Tatiana he knew always seemed aloof, quiet, and regal, but hearing her comfort Emily made him realize she wasn't the person he had imagined.Tatiana, however, was too focused on the girl in front of her to notice Vance's daze. As Emily began to lower her guard, Tatiana smiled warmly."What's your name?" she asked kindly.Emily looked at Tatiana's face, shyly smiled,and replied, "I'm Emily, just an ordinary sophomore here. I know the girl who saved me; her name is Tara. She just came to our school not long ago. Funny enough, we're from the same city. I went to high school there too, but I ended up here for college after the entrance exams."Emily had initially thought Tara had always studied in that city, not realizing she had moved there for college. But she felt there was no need to explain that. Instead, she asked, "So, your parents don’t know about what happened? I haven’t seen them come to check on you."When the topic of parents cam

    As Tatiana read about his background, she learned that he had a very reclusive and troubled adolescence, suffering from various illnesses and often being abused by his mother. Even after marrying and having children, he was plagued by depression, which eventually led him to commit his first murder.From there, the list of victims continued to grow. As Tatiana read through the details of how the killer had murdered these individuals, she looked down at the case file in her hands. She was now certain that this murderer was mimicking Luca's methods—specifically, the pattern of rape andmurder.However, Luca had truly developed a mental illness due to his sickness. As Tatiana looked at the photos related to the case, she couldn't determine if this murderer was indeed him. It seemed like a highly skilled impersonator; so far, there had been no details discovered about the actual person involved—everything pointed to Andre. At this rate, it felt utterly useless.Putting down the case in

    As she pondered this, Tatiana thought about what it would mean if she chose to help them. She would be working alongside Vance. However, it was clear that the higher-ups wanted Delany to stick with Mason too. Tatiana didn’t like the idea of having someone she didn’t get along with hovering around her. With that thought in mind, she decided to call someone on her phone, hoping to have Delany reassigned to another location for a while. It wouldn’t hurt to make that change.Once she settled her thoughts, Tatiana finally focused on the heavy case file in her hands.The next day, Tatiana called Vance to let him know she would be stopping by in the afternoon. The reason for the afternoon visit was simple: she had a meeting with Maxim in the morning to sign contracts with a company. It seemed everything was progressing smoothly.However, when she saw John walk in, her brows furrowed in confusion. She couldn't understand why he was here at this time.Maxim was clearly a bit surprised,

    Tatiana listened to him while glancing at the well-dressed Delany beside her. She smiled and shook her head. "It's fine. Just show me the case files, all of them, including the information on the previous victims. I need everything, but I don't have much time to go through it here. I’ll need to take the files with me to reviewat my own pace. Is that okay? Please let the higher-ups know about this.""They mentioned from the start that they were aware of your preferences, so they just asked me to cooperate with you. If there are any other issues or needs, just let me know directly. You don’t have to worry about anything else," Vance replied.After saying this, he observed Tatiana's expression, unsure why she had agreed this time. The higher-ups were anxious that she might suddenly withdraw her help, which would make the case much harder to crack.Rebecca was well aware of the internal dynamics but felt it was unnecessary. She had always been someone who kept her word. Mason's behavio

    "Developing games? I remember someone from our company was quite interested in that area. As for the film side, isn’t Jayden the only one under your wing? If you want to avoid losses, you’ll need to bring in more people later on."Maxim looked a bit confused by Tatiana's comment. He didn’t quite understand why she suddenly mentioned her company alongside his.Seeing his puzzled expression, Tatiana smiled and clarified, "I mean, we shouldcollaborate again on our projects.”"We're collaborating again. By signing the contract with the company you need now, it's like signing with two companies at once, right? This way, the money we make will surpass what John can offer all at once. It’s a win-win for us, while John will only end up losing both money and resources."After hearing Tatiana's words, Maxim finally understood. This approach was something he hadn't encountered before, so whether it would work was uncertain. However, given the current situation, it seemed like the only option. If
