Jamie almost spoke without thinking, but a piercing gaze from behind him made him realize that saying the wrong thing could lead to unexpected consequences.

He quickly regained his composure and rationality.

"I consider you a good brother too!"

"If you need anything, just call me. It's my responsibility!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Maxim's voice from behind him: "So if I need something, you’ll take responsibility too?"

Jamie was momentarily taken aback.

Looking into Tatiana's clear eyes, he felt too embarrassed to refuse.

"Alright, I’ll go back with you!”Maxim nodded, his expression serious. "Alright then, you go ahead."

Samuel pointed at himself, "You want me to go back?"

"That's not fair!"

Micheal had always thought Jamie sounded familiar but couldn't quite place why.

After their laughter died down, Micheal suddenly remembered.

"Cornelius, this Jamie is the heir of Onatorio Group, the one who has been funding our dance association!"

"Really?"

    Do you think he would definitely accept me?”Hearing her daughter's tone soften, Camille felt a wave of happiness wash over her. It seemed Fallon was no longer a must-have. She quickly assured her daughter over the phone, "Of course!"Then, turning to Anna's aunt, she said, "Sister, I’m counting on you for this. No matter how much it costs, as long as we can persuade Dylan, we can afford it!""As long as Anna can successfully become his apprentice, I will definitely reward you handsomely when she returns."Anna's aunt was also someone who had a keen eye for money, and she perked up at the mention of the reward."Don't mention it! We're family. I'll contact Dylan right away and make sure to convince him. Tomorrow, Anna will proudly become his apprentice.”Camille felt relieved as she hung up the phone.However, Dominic frowned, seemingly displeased with the content of their conversation."Is it really worth spending so much money for Anna to become an apprentice?"Camille thought to

    Maxim brought her a glass of milk. "What's not normal?""Don't be too nice to me, or I might get the wrong idea that this is all real, and that wouldn't be good."Tatiana gently placed the half-drunk milk on the table and watched for Maxim's reaction.To her surprise, Maxim picked up her own glass of milk and took a sip, following the curve of his lips."You— that's the milk I drank."Tatiana was at a loss for words.Maxim sat down beside her, locking eyes with her."What's wrong with it being real?""Or are you saying you don't want it to be real? That you have someone else you’d rather marry?”For some reason, Tatiana sensed a hint of intensity in his words. Although she wasn't afraid, facing Maxim's increasingly handsome face, she still shook her head."No."In the entire New York, which family could possibly be a better choice than the Konstantine family?Tatiana believed that no one could rival the Konstantine family, and similarly, no young talent could compare to Maxim.To est

    Preston's condition is worse than we thought. The doctor we just found said he was poisoned. It seems someone did this on purpose.""What?"Jamie, having spent too long in U.S, had become somewhat naive."Why would anyone do that? Is it just to sabotage our fundraising efforts?"Maxim didn't confirm or deny it. In a big world, anything was possible."Right now, we need to find the antidote. Otherwise, Preston won't be able to help us at all."Jamie nodded."Okay, I'll send more people to investigate."With a heavy heart, Jamie met Tatiana but couldn't muster much enthusiasm. He forced a smile as he greeted her."Hello, sister-in-law. I have to go now."After he left, Tatiana and Maxim exchanged glances."Was it John’s doing?"Maxim remained silent, which was confirmation enough."With the company currently preparing for fundraising, both Preston and Jamie hold significant shares. And—”Maxim paused for a moment, then locked eyes with Tatiana and said, "The collaboration project with

    Five minutes later.Jamie stood in awe as he looked at the garden filled with flowers and plants, nearly frozen in disbelief.Why did it seem like this entire plot was filled with that rare detoxifying herb?Was something so legendary just not worth much in his sister-in-law's garden?Jamie was at a loss for words and could only give Tatiana a thumbs-up to express his respect.After they had dinner together and made some new discoveries, they didn’t rest long before each took a pot of flowers and left the house.Tatiana stood at the door when Riley appeared out of nowhere and draped a jacket over her shoulders."It's chilly outside."Tatiana adjusted her jacket and turned to Riley, saying, "I owe you one this time."Riley humbly replied, "Oh, I could never compare to you, Miss. If it weren't for your willingness to take on these tasks, I wouldn't have had the chance to learn from you."Tatiana patted her shoulder and walked back into the room.In the evening, Tatiana stepped out of he

    That day, after finishing work, Tatiana received a call from Dominic."Tatiana, your grandfather has collapsed.""Come to the Central Hospital quickly."Without hesitation, Tatiana hailed a cab and rushed to the hospital.Stefan was lying quietly on the hospital bed. The nearby monitors showed normal readings, but the old man just wouldn't wake up.Tatiana held her grandfather's thin, frail hand and gently checked his pulse."How did he collapse?"Tatiana's icy gaze fixed on Dominc. She never expected her grandfather would have an incident at her father's house.Dominic felt a wave of guilt wash over him as he faced his daughter, unable to speak.Only Camille was brave enough to answer for him."The old man insisted on helping in the kitchen to wash the dishes today. I couldn't stop him, so..."Tatiana's face was filled with disbelief."You let Grandpa wash the dishes?"Camille shook her head repeatedly. "No, no, it wasn't like that—"She had only mentioned it casually, never expect

    Camille's face flushed with anger. She never expected Dominic would speak to her like this; even he was unreliable!Dominic suddenly felt guilty, realizing he had gone too far with his words.“Alright, alright, I was just upset. You should understand that.”Camille’s eyes filled with tears.“I understand you, but who understands me?”Dominic was taken aback by her sudden tears and hurried over to comfort her, spending quite some time before she finally calmed down.——Tatiana had been visiting Stefan whenever she had some free time.This made Wilfred very happy.Every time she came over, she always ended up helping with a surgery or two, which meant a nice profit for their hospital.At the Woodhaven International Hospital, aside from a few nobles and wealthy individuals recuperating, there were also many patients with rare and difficult ailments.Reece Wilfred was an authority in Western medicine, but he knew that Traditional Chinese Medicine was equally important.Tatiana was an expe

    Jamie suddenly realized he had crossed a line and grimaced, not daring to argue further. He never expected that since partnering with Maxim, his life would become increasingly difficult.If he had known, he would have preferred to stay in U.S! Never coming back!In the living room, Vance spoke up, looking a bit embarrassed. "I’m really sorry for not handling things well back then."Tatiana gazed out at the dark night outside. "No need to apologize. You've done a lot over the years. Those things are in the past."Vance lowered his head, his hands clenched into fists. After a long hesitation, he finally spoke again, "Tatiana, not long ago, we received a whistleblower letter at our office, revealing some very serious social issues that caught the higher-ups' attention. We later found some leads…”Tatiana could sense his hesitation, so she decided to cut to the chase.“It was me who reported it. If you have any questions, just ask.”Her straightforwardness took him by surprise.“You're

    For the first time, Tatiana found herself at a loss for words. Outwardly, her relationship with Maxim was great, but seeing her grandfather's expression, she feared he might think she was neglecting his feelings.Tatiana had no doubt that if she didn’t say something soon, Stefan would pack up and head back home."It was just too late to go back, so I stayed there. Don't overthink it."It was Maxim who came to her rescue.The way he spoke made Stefan sound so convincing that he managed to win over at least a bit of trust."This won't do. You two just got married, and it's best not to sleep in separate rooms. Otherwise, when will I ever get to see my great-grandchild?"Stefam said, his voice trembling as he gently pulled Tatiana and Maxim's hands together."You two must take good care of each other."Tatiana's expression was quite awkward, but in front of her grandfather, she couldn't bring herself to say anything else.After the morning's drama had passed, she got ready and headed to

    Soon enough, Maxim put the incident out of his mind.In the office, Maxim set down his pen and rubbed his eyes with one hand. After staring at documents all night, he was feeling quite uncomfortable.Finishing the last sip of his unsweetened coffee, Maxim decided it was time for a break. He stood up and walked over to the massive floor-to-ceiling window, gazing down at the bustling traffic below.After just a few minutes of watching, Maxim received a message from Scott. Thinking something might be wrong, he opened it only to find that Scott was informing him that two unscrupulous housekeepers had been let go by Tatiana.Seeing the title "Madam" in the message reminded Maxim that he hadn't visited Tatiana in quite a while. Work had been incredibly hectic at the company, leaving him no time to go back. However, thinking about Tatiana made him shake his head. He decided that he would make an effort to visit her today.After wrapping up her current matters, it was time for Tatiana to

    The crisp sound echoed as the cup shattered on the computer.Riley stood frozen for about two seconds before her instincts kicked in, and she shot a fierce glare at Sophie.Sophie was startled by the intensity of Riley's gaze, but recalling what had just happened, she forced herself to say, "I just did it by accident. Who told you to put the cup right next to it?""An accident? I saw you do it! How can you call that an accident?""Thud—"The sound of the cup being slammed down on the table echoed in the room."What are you going to do? You said it was an accident, so is this really necessary? We can just pay for your computer, okay?"Sophie, who had initially looked down on Riley, now seemed a bit intimidated by her fierce expression."Do you think that will help? Didn’t I just tell you how important this computer is? I told you not to touch it!""Bang—""Ah—”A loud thud echoed through the room as Sophie stared in shock at the large patch of blood suddenly staining her forehead. Jus

    “What else could he say? He wants us to handle this case well and to wrap it upquickly. Isn’t that putting me in a tough spot? The suspect has killed three people, and we still don’t even know if it’s a man or a woman.”Mason felt a deep frustration about the situation. In all his years on the job, he had never encountered a case this difficult.“I see,” Delaney said, observing the troubled look on Vance’s face. After a moment of thought, she spoke up, “Vance, I need to tell you something. Please don’t get upset when you hear it.”"What do you mean, what’s going on?"Vance frowned, wondering what could possibly be so important at this moment."It's just that I might have to go back soon. I probably won't be able to continue following this case. But don’t worry, I’ll definitely sign a confidentiality agreement before I leave, and I won’t say anything about this afterward.""Going back?" Vance frowned. He had intended to talk about Delany, but now he found himself at a loss for words

    After saying that, Riley took off her gloves and neatly placed them aside before walking over to Tatiana.As the two of them walked further away, the others working in the garden exchanged glances and murmured among themselves."Isn't it just that she knows a bit more about gardening than we do? It's ridiculous that she caught the lady's attention. I knew from the moment Riley arrived that she was trouble, and it seems I was right.""Exactly! She thinks just because she knows a thing or two, she can flirt with the master. Before long, she'll be trying to use her looks to catch the young master's eye.""I see her as nothing but a gold digger. Someone needs to teach her a lesson; otherwise, she won't even know her own worth.""I agree, a little lesson would do her good."After their conversation, the two women exchanged knowing glances, harboring a strong animosity toward the newcomer, Riley.Meanwhile, Riley was unaware of the brewing trouble. She simply followed Tatiana into her room

    Julian remained silent, not responding to Tatiana's words. He stiffly accepted the document she handed him and opened it, confirming it was indeed what he had suspected—a divorce agreement.He wondered why he had felt a bit uneasy that morning, thinking it was just due to lack of rest. But now he realized it was because of the impending situation that would unfold that evening.The room fell silent for about a minute. Watching Maxim's expression, Tatiana couldn't tell if he was takingher seriously. After some internal debate, she finally spoke up, "If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. Or if you think something is definitely wrong, let me know so I can have Riley revise it for tomorrow.""Why?"After another half-minute of silence, Taitana finally heard Maxim’s voice directed at her.Another pause followed."Because I think we’re not suited for each other. From the start, our marriage was just a mutual arrangement, right?”As she spoke, Tatiana got off the bed and sto

    Riley was right; Maxim was indeed a wonderful person. It was impressive how someone in such a high position could remain humble and not get carried away. It was no wonder so many people admired him.Maxim was also handsome, with looks that were undeniably top-notch. It was impossible for her not to feel something for him. He had always been so good to her—staying by her side when she was sick, keeping her company when she couldn’t sleep, even cutting fruit for her. To be honest, over the years, only a handful of people had treated her this well. How could she not be moved?But she was also well aware of how unsuitable she was for Maxim. She wasn't a model citizen, always skirting the edges of society, and who knew when she might just disappear? Maxim, on the other hand, was different. He had a solid reputation, and even if his family life wasn't perfect, at least he lived in the light, while she did not.Feeling a bit down, Tatiana carefully set aside the divorce agreement. It wa

    Tatiana asked, genuinely curious about how Marcus managed to raise Tara to be this way."I don't know. My dad never tells me what he actually does for a living."As memories of her past life surfaced, Tara's mood darkened. "When I was really young, my dad told me that my mom passed away for some reason. Since my dad worked long hours, I hardly ever got to see him, so I was basically raised by the housekeeper.""Later, I heard from my dad that the housekeeper could no longer take care of me due to some accident, so I came back to the country to continue my studies."After saying this, Tara looked at Tatiana and asked, "Why do you want to know about this, teacher?""Oh, I'm just a bit curious, that's all," Tatiana replied with a gentle smile.It seemed that Tatiana was right; Marcus didn’t want his child involved in his work. But why had he suddenly sent Tara back to her home country? With them being in different countries, it was hard to believe that Marcus would casually send a child

    With that, the agent decided to pull out his phone to call Tatiana. He added, "Maybe Tatiana knows what to do about this. She wrote the lyrics and choreographed the dance, so she musthave some insight into what’s going on.”At first, Jayden didn’t quite grasp the situation, but once he did, he quickly stepped forward to snatch the phone from his agent's hands."What are you doing? We need to tell Tatiana about this right away so she can help us resolve it. If we wait until it blows up, it won't be good for your reputation. You absolutely can't afford any trouble right now."Recently, the higher-ups at the company had decided to push Jayden toward acareer in the film industry, making this a crucial time for him. They had clearly stated that he needed to stay out of trouble during this period, so when this incident occurred, his agent panicked and wanted to call Tatiana to sort it out."Let’s not tell Tatiana about this just yet," Jayden said, feeling an odd reluctance to involve Tati

    After staying up late watching TV last night, Taitana successfully overslept again. Fortunately, her classes didn’t start until the afternoon, so it wasn’t a big deal.When Tatiana went downstairs for breakfast, she noticed that Maxim was missing and casually asked where he had gone.“Miss, he had to go to work. I saw him leave the garden quite early. He’s probably in a hurry to get to work to take better care of you these days,” Riley replied.After a moment's thought, Riley continued, “The last time we went looking for you, I could see the concern in his eyes. He seemed really upset when he couldn’t find you.”Tatiana remained silent as Riley spoke. She recalled the kiss they shared last night and couldn’t ignore Riley’s words. She had to face the truth—Maxim might actually have feelings for her. But how could she ever be with him?No matter how it looked, Maxim seemed like someone who lived in the sunlight, while she was different. She hadn’t been that person for a long time.
