Jensen's body stiffened, his expression a mix of emotions as he looked at her. "You..."

Mia took a deep breath, choking back tears. "The doctor said I can't have children in this lifetime. Do you... do you despise me for it?"

Jensen shook his head instinctively, his voice growing softer. "Don't overthink it. Your health can still be improved."

Mia smiled, lowering her eyes.

"See, you clearly don't like me, yet you still comfort me so gently. You make it so easy for me to misunderstand and to...fall for you," she said, slowly walking toward him.

"Jensen..." She called his name, her hands resting on his shoulders, "Hayes said that if I became his woman, he'd make me the most powerful woman in the McCray family." Jensen looked at her calmly, not saying a word. Mia smiled sadly. "But I didn't agree. Even if he gave me a hundred chances, I wouldn't agree."

"You really are a fool," Jensen murmured.

Mia shook her head with a smile. "Yes, I am a fool. I can't be with him while you're in

    "Exactly, I think you all should just give up and hope to be reborn as a beautiful woman in your next life."As a few women directed sarcastic and cutting remarks at Mia, a tall, imposing figure suddenly entered the archway, surrounded by a group of bodyguards.Immediately, everyone fell silent. The bodyguards brought a chair forward. Hayes sat down, one leg crossed over the other, casually observing them. His gaze did not specifically rest on anyone. His narrow eyes glanced at the crowd, and a wicked smile played on his lips. Hayes had been handsome since childhood, and the passage of time only added to his allure. Although the women in the training camp were afraid of him, they were also infatuated with his looks. As soon as he arrived, the women could not take their eyes off him.Hayes lit a cigarette, leaned back in the chair, and took a drag. With a nonchalant smile, he said, "I need to go to Linsborough for a business negotiation and want to pick two of you to accompany me. Wh

    Just as quickly, it was Mia's turn to compete against her opponents. Like Jensen, her moves were swift, precise, and ruthless, taking down her opponents in no time. Hayes leaned back; his expression dark as he toyed with a lighter in his hand.When Mia knocked down another competitor, he suddenly said with a faint smile, "Enough. Stop."Confused, everyone looked at him. "Hayes, aren't the matches still ongoing?"Hayes sneered at the one who asked. "Tell me, who among you can defeat these two?" His gaze swept over Jensen and Mia.Everyone fell silent, lips pressed together. The competition had gone on for quite some time, but they had all been defeated within just a few moves. Looking at Jensen and Mia, the pair remained composed and poised. Hayes was speaking the truth – they could not defeat these two, even if they could not accept it.Hayes pointed his slender finger at Jensen and Mia. "Well... it'll be you two then."'No matter where Jensen goes, she'll follow, huh? Then I sha

    Hayes laughed and patted Kohen's shoulder. "You're still too young and inexperienced; it'd be even more dangerous for you to go. While I'm away, take care of the family and company affairs. I'll find opportunities to train you when I return."Kohen sighed. "Alright."Seeing his disappointed expression, Hayes could not help but tease. "If I were to have an unfortunate accident on this trip, the entire burden of the family would fall on your shoulders, and I'm afraid you wouldn't have a moment to spare."Annoyed by his words, Kohen replied, "You're about to leave, can you not say such ominous things? You're scaring me."Hayes chuckled and shook his head. "Fine, I won't scare you anymore. But you should become stronger too. If I'm no longer around one day, at least you'll be able to protect the family."Kohen rolled his eyes. 'He said he wouldn't scare me, but he keeps saying ominous things!'He shot a glare at his older brother before turning to Jensen and Mia. "Protect your boss,

    As he spoke, Kendall stared at Mia with ill intent, making her feel disgusted.Hayes glanced at Mia and smiled at Kendall. "Alright, Kendall, if you keep looking at her like that, you might scare her away.""She wouldn't dare! Hahaha..." Kendall laughed wildly and maliciously.Mia clenched her fists at her sides, resisting the urge to eliminate this man right then and there.Kendall booked them into the best hotel in the city. After dropping them off, he took his leave. Hayes sat in their suite, smoking. Apart from Jensen and Mia in the room, the other bodyguards stood guard outside. Mia's expression soured because of Kendall's behavior, but she did not dare say anything.Jensen looked at Hayes and spoke gravely. "I fear that this collaboration might be a trap."Hayes glanced at him and laughed. "Let's hear it.""From Kendall's tone, it's clear he doesn't respect his grandfather. I suspect Curtis may be under house arrest. This so-called 'collaboration' might be under Kendall's

    "Hayes, I've always believed that having one man in your heart while being with another is disloyal and unfair. I never refused to be your woman because I disliked you, but because I didn't want to let you down."Hayes gazed at her deeply, a hint of tenderness seeping into his cold eyes.Mia continued. "You may be cold and aloof, but you're a good person."Hayes suddenly seemed to have heard a joke. He tilted his head and said sarcastically, "It's the first time someone's ever called me a good person.""It's because they don't understand you. In my eyes, you are a good person who loves your brother and shoulders the responsibility of your family's honor. You're just burdened with too much and can't be your true self."Hayes felt a tremor in his heart. He looked at her and shook his head with a wry smile. "Do you think by saying these things, you can stop me from giving you away?"Mia shook her head. "If my goal was to please you and dissuade you from giving me away, I wouldn't sa

    A sinking feeling gripped Mia's heart, and she looked at him anxiously. "What do you mean? Hayes, what's going on?"Just after asking, she felt a wave of dizziness. The man before her blurred, and a terrible premonition surged within her. She clung to Hayes's clothing with all her strength. "Why? Wh-What did you put in the milk? Are you... are you going to hand me over to Kendall, Hayes?"At the end of her words, Mia's voice trembled with a hint of tears. She clutched his clothes tightly, as if grasping for a lifeline.Hayes gently pulled her into his embrace. "Don't be afraid, you'll be fine after a good night's sleep."Mia's consciousness began to blur, and even as she fell completely unconscious, she still held onto his clothes. Hayes looked down at her hand, and after a moment, he embraced her tightly. Resting his chin on the top of her head, he murmured, "I've done everything to win you over. How could I bear to give you away?"Mia had a dream filled with bloodshed. She saw J

    Hayes remained silent, his expression indifferent, as if Jensen's life meant no more to him than a blade of grass.Mia broke down. Suddenly lunging at him, she fiercely grabbed his collar and screamed, "Answer me! What happened? What happened to him?"Hayes looked at her coldly. "Do you know what you're doing right now?""I don't care!" Mia shrieked. With the only light in her life gone, she cared about nothing, not even her own life, let alone respecting authority.Hayes coldly brushed her hands away. Seeing her in such despair, he suddenly laughed darkly."Do you really want to know what happened?"Mia stared at him intensely, waiting for him to continue.Hayes leaned back and said with a light chuckle, "In truth, I knew this collaboration was a trap from the beginning, yet I still came personally. Do you know why?"He looked at Mia and spoke word by word. "Because I wanted to get rid of two people, Kendall and... Jensen."Mia's body stiffened. "Why? Why did you want to get

    "Take me to the Burton residence!" Mia demanded emotionlessly.Hayes clenched his fists, and after a long pause, he finally sighed. "Turn around, head to the Burton residence."Within the grounds of the Burton residence, Jensen stood with one foot on Kendall's lifeless body, his cold gaze fixed on the surrounding Burton family guards. All the men who had come with him had been sacrificed, leaving him alone. Jensen was injured in several places, covered in blood, but luckily none of the wounds were fatal. He had found the woman Hayes had sent, but she was not Mia. While angered, Jensen was also secretly relieved.'If Hayes wanted us to eliminate Kendall, he could have directly ordered us. But he deliberately used Mia to make me fight harder and face death.'Jensen had a fairly good idea of the various reasons behind it all. At that moment, he knew there was no escape. Besides anger, his heart was filled with intense regret. He had not returned to the Kooper family to take revenge, n

    In a small town in the South, a gentle breeze caressed the cheeks of passersby, creating a pleasant and serene atmosphere. This town, known for its tourism, was adorned with flowers even in its narrow alleys. The surrounding houses were all quaint inns, exuding a poetic and picturesque charm.Beneath an arching bridge, Kisa set up an easel to display and sell her paintings. She had always loved painting since childhood. Although she had not achieved great success in this field, her vivid and evocative paintings were very popular with tourists. She would sell most of her paintings every day.On weekends, Blake would join her at the stall, but today was Wednesday, and she was alone. After arranging her paintings, she had barely sat down when people began to gather around. Some admired her art, while others immediately offered to buy. Her paintings were reasonably priced, which attracted many customers."Miss, I'd like that painting of the snow-covered rose garden at night.""Alright,

    In the backyard, Kohen looked at his older brother's calm expression, a hint of worry in his voice. "Bro, are you alright?""I'm fine," Hayes said, adjusting the blanket on his lap. "Tomorrow, take me to meet those medical geniuses you found.""Oh, sure..." Kohen nodded in agreement, but after a moment, he could not help but ask, "Bro, what did that woman say to you that made you change your mind so suddenly?"Hayes gazed at the stars in the sky, his voice cool and distant. "She told me she's doing well, very happy. Then she pointed out how pitiful and miserable I am right now. She asked me if I don't feel envious, knowing how well she is doing compared to me."Kohen grimaced, realizing that the woman had provoked his brother into action.Hayes lowered his eyes, a faint smile on his face. "That's right. How could I not be envious? So, I want to heal my legs, live a good life, and show her that I can do better than her."Kohen felt a pang of sympathy for his brother. From Hayes's

    Mentioning Hayes, Eylul's expression became complex. "Hayes is reclusive and doesn't like to see people. Only a single old servant has been taking care of him all these years. I only met him once, back when I married Kohen."Mia's heart ached, recalling the enigmatic yet deeply emotional man. She could not help but feel a lump in her throat. "How's his health?" Mia asked.Eylul replied, "His health is fine, but his legs have remained the same. Kohen has found top orthopedic experts for him and even sought out Kelvin Hoover from Calthon, but he refuses treatment. For so many years, he hasn't even stepped outside the backyard.""You mean he's been living in the backyard all this time?" Jensen asked gravely.Eylul nodded. "Yes, Kohen wanted him to live in the main house, but he refused. He only likes staying in the backyard. Moreover, the room he stays in used to be..." Eylul glanced at Mia. She had heard that Mia used to live in that room.With a complicated expression, Mia pursed h

    "Let's forget everything that just happened,' Mia said.Jensen looked up at her. In the moonlight, his eyes were deep and complex, profound and unfathomable.Mia tried to muster a smile. "You don't have to feel burdened. In a way, I forced you. And you must have always disliked me. Actually, I didn't come to you for money; I just wanted to see you. Now that I have, I should go. Jensen, from now on... take care."With that, she walked away, fearing that if she lingered any longer, she would not be able to leave. But after only a few steps, she was embraced from behind.Jensen's voice was low and hoarse. "Stay with me."Mia trembled at his words. Jensen continued. "But I still have so many things to do and someone in my heart I can't let go of. I don't know... when I will be able to give you a satisfactory answer. If you don't want to stay with me without any promises or guarantees, you can—""I'm willing," Mia blurted out, "as long as I can be with you, I don't care about anything

    Mia's face changed instantly. " You... you know I like Jensen, why would you...""Heh, if you like Jensen, shouldn't you be willing to do anything for him? If you can't even do this, how can you claim to love him?""I won't do it! Doing this would be betraying Jensen. I would risk my life for him, but I can't do this."Adrien stared at her flushed face and gently chuckled, his words loaded with meaning. "Aren't you feeling all hot and bothered yet?"Mia frowned. Her body was indeed getting hotter and more agitated. 'Why would Adrien ask this? Could it be the drink...?'As the thought crossed her mind, her heart sank. Seeing Adrien's cold expression and the man's playful smile, Mia turned and ran. But before she could take more than a few steps, she was dragged back. Weakened by the drink, her desperate struggles were futile. As the man pressed her down, playing with her like a toy, she closed her eyes in despair. She thought she could never face Jensen again. With a bitter laugh,

    Adrien Tanner, Jensen's father, stood before Mia with a warm smile. "My son is truly awkward when it comes to matters of the heart. He's even willing to refuse such a beautiful young woman like you."Mia stared at him, her tears suddenly streaming down her face. "I only wanted to see him, even if it was to face rejection. Wouldn't it better to say it clearly to my face?""Yes, it would." Adrien agreed. "But standing here stubbornly won't help, because he left on a business trip a couple of days ago."Mia's heart ached even more, realizing that Jensen had avoided using the front door just to evade her.Adrien continued. "I have a way to make him come to you willingly, but it depends on whether you're willing to cooperate."Mia nodded. "What do I have to do?"Adrien motioned to his bodyguard, who handed him a glass of wine. "Drink this," he said.Mia furrowed her brow, hesitant.Adrien gently patted her shoulder, like a father would."Don't be afraid. I won't harm you. From the

    Filled with guilt, Mia stepped forward, but Kohen suddenly pulled out a handgun and aimed it at her."Get out!"Jensen pulled Mia back. He looked at the cold man before him. It was this man who had taken him in years ago. At that time, Kohen was young, a carefree and privileged young man. Now, he seemed to have grown up all at once, his eyes colder and more distant.Jensen said with a troubled expression, "If you ever need me in the future, don't hesitate to find me."Kohen sneered coldly; pain etched in his brow. He mocked himself. "I never should have taken you in back then. In the end, it was I who harmed my own brother."Jensen pursed his lips, not knowing what to say, only feeling an unbearable pain in his heart. It was the first time he felt he owed someone. That sense of indebtedness suffocated him."Get out, and don't let me see you two ever again."On that night, Jensen and Mia left the McCray family. As a result of Hayes's ordeal, the McCray family underwent tremendous

    "What on earth happened?"Jensen did not speak. Mia choked out. "The collaboration between the Burton family and the McCray family was a trap. We were ambushed by the Burton family, and Hayes... he was hit by a car trying to save us.""Damn it!" Kohen cursed under his breath, abruptly pulling a knife from a nearby bodyguard and pointing it at them. "What are your lives worth? Why would my brother save you? Why?"Mia bit her lip, tears streaming down her face. 'It's my fault. I wanted to save Jensen, but I should have gone alone. I shouldn't have dragged Hayes into this. He seemed cold-blooded and heartless, and I never thought that he would risk his life for me. Why was he so good to me?'"Kohen..."Suddenly, a weak cry rang out. Hayes had awakened.Kohen hurriedly moved closer, gripping Hayes's hand. "Bro!"Hayes's face was deathly pale. He did not look at Kohen, but instead turned his gaze to Mia. His eyes were calm. He saw Mia's red-rimmed eyes and the tears lingering there,

    Hayes was sent flying by the car, his body crashing into a wall before bouncing back.Mia's entire body felt ice-cold as she trembled, yelling, "Hayes!""Kill them all!" A hoarse, aged voice suddenly rang out from the entrance. It was Curtis. He looked at Kendall's lifeless body on the ground, his eyes filled with rage, shouting, "Run them over! I want them to join my grandson in death!""Ah!" Jensen roared, disregarding the guards' swinging knives, and like a madman, charged at Curtis. Curtis's face changed, desperately pulling a nearby guard in front of him as a shield. But it was useless. Jensen, like a crazed beast, attacked anyone in his path. Soon, his knife was held against Curtis's throat.Curtis trembled all over. "Wh-What do you want?"Jensen, covered in blood with splatters on his face, looked like a demon that had emerged from a battleground. He grabbed Curtis and held him hostage in front of him. "Let us go!""Don't even think about it!" Curtis retorted angrily. "You
