View MoreWith Lily out of the picture, that left only one suspect — Emma.Angeline turned to look at Emma, her face dark and stern.“So you’re Alex’s new wife, huh?” Her tone was sharp. “Tell me honestly — were you the one who broke it?”Emma hadn’t expected that her very first meeting with Angeline — after coming back to life — would be under these circumstances.She didn’t know if Angeline had already made up her mind about her. In her past life, Emma wouldn’t have cared what anyone thought. But now… she wanted to live well with Alexander. And that meant things like this mattered.By now, Emma had completely calmed down.She stood there and answered steadily, “Grandma, it wasn’t me.”Ava immediately jumped in, her voice full of disbelief. “And what proof do you have to back that up?”Emma’s sharp gaze snapped over to her.Seriously? The pendant just happened to break. And Angeline just happened to show up right after?Was that really a coincidence?Ava was startled by her look, sub
The maid holding the box was visibly nervous — and for good reason. This was an expensive gift from Old Mrs. Hamilton. If she accidentally dropped it, she wouldn’t be able to pay for it even if she sold everything she owned.So when Lily offered to take over, the maid wasted no time handing the box off to her.Upstairs, Emma had just laid down for an afternoon nap when a sudden knock at the door startled her awake. She got up and opened the door to see Lily standing outside.Her voice was calm, even a little cold. “What is it?”Lily respectfully held out an old-fashioned wooden box. “This just arrived from Old Mrs. Hamilton. It’s for Mr. Hamilton, but since he’s not home, I brought it to you instead.”Emma glanced at the box and gave a small nod. “Alright, just leave it there.”Lily walked in, placed the box down carefully, and quietly left.Emma stepped over to take a look but didn’t touch it. Without permission, it wasn’t right to go through other people’s things — that was ba
Emma had changed into something fresh and simple — a light blue dress that brushed gently against her knees, showing off her long, slender legs. Alexander paused for half a second before giving her a slight nod. “Sure. Come in and grab whatever you like.”Emma happily stepped inside — and barely took two steps before the bouquet she’d been hiding behind her back gave her away.Alexander’s gaze landed on it, and for a moment, he actually looked surprised. “You’re still keeping that?”Emma suddenly felt a little embarrassed. The flowers were practically dried out by now… and yet, here she was, still holding onto them like they were something precious.But when she met his slightly startled gaze, she lifted her chin and explained seriously, “You gave them to me. Of course I’m keeping them. I’m going to press them in a book so I can keep them forever.”Alexander went quiet for a long beat, staring at her — and when he did, his dark eyes seemed even deeper than before.That night, t
Marianne cleared her throat and said, “If it’s serious and causes major losses, Oakwood Manor would kick them out on the spot. But if it’s minor, we can give them another chance.”Before Emma could even respond, she turned and snapped at Lily, “Well? What are you waiting for? Apologize to Madam right now! Luckily, it was just a few flowers this time — not serious enough to throw you out. Otherwise, you’d already be packing.”Lily hurriedly bowed her head. “Madam, I was wrong. Please forgive me this once!”Emma gave a cold little laugh.Breaking into her room. Stealing her things. And in Marianne’s mouth, it had somehow become just “taking a few flowers”?“Is this how loosely Oakwood Manor is managed?” Emma asked flatly.Marianne replied, “If Madam doesn’t believe me, we can always ask Mr. Hamilton to weigh in and make the decision.”Emma’s gaze grew colder, staring straight at her without a word.The living room fell completely silent — so quiet you could hear a pin drop. No on
Alexander took the pen and, without rushing, signed his name at the bottom of the document.Maybe it was just an illusion, but there was something serious and intentional in the way he did it — like he genuinely believed everything Emma had just said.Steven opened his mouth to say something, then stopped. He wanted to warn him — girls these days were something else. They knew exactly what to say to win you over, and you really shouldn’t take every sweet word to heart.But seeing how unusually good Alexander’s mood was, he thought better of it and stayed silent.In her own room, Emma kicked off her shoes and changed out of the formal gown she’d been wearing all night.She couldn’t stop smiling as she thought about how Alexander had noticed her aching feet. The corners of her lips curled up all on their own.After tidying up, she pulled a fading bouquet from the vase. She was planning to dry the flowers and turn them into bookmarks.This wasn’t just any bouquet — it was the very
There was a kind of honesty in her eyes — clear, pure, impossible to fake.She wasn’t lying. She wasn’t saying it just to sound sweet or make him feel good. She truly meant every word.It felt like if she had anything good in her hands right now, she’d give it to him without even thinking twice.Her eyes stayed nervously on him, like every little move he made could tug at her heartstrings.Like, in her world — he was everything.Alexander’s dark eyes were impossibly deep as he stared right at her.And for a second, Emma felt like she was standing on the edge of danger. It made her skin prickle, like all the tiny hairs on her arms were about to stand up.Then, out of nowhere, the man let out a low, husky chuckle.“Alright,” he said. “I’ll accept it.”Emma froze.In both her lives combined, she could probably count on one hand the times she’d seen Alexander smile.And now, catching that rare smile without warning, she just… completely blanked out.“What’s wrong?” Alexander as
Evelyn's eyes flickered subtly. "I can't tell you everything, but I can say he's not able to appear in public, and his reputation isn't good. Many women wouldn't marry him. Emma only did because of their arrangement—she had no choice."The group was led astray by her words once again.Could Emma's husband be wealthy but perhaps extremely unattractive or disabled in some way?It seemed likely! Why else would he not get out of the car?In the car."Why did you come pick me up? I could have taken a taxi back. It's not that far."Emma looked at the man beside her, feeling both embarrassed and happy."It's no trouble. I was in the area," Alexander replied."When did you arrive?" she asked tentatively.Alexander was silent for a moment before answering diplomatically, "When you were defending me to them."Boom!Emma felt her head might explode with steam, her cheeks burning as she looked up in panic."You—you heard everything?!""Yes."Alexander's deep eyes studied the girl bes
"Emma, how are you planning to get home? Not by taxi, I hope?""No way, don't tell me your husband doesn't even have a car??"Hearing their mocking tones, Emma lazily raised her eyes."Whether my husband has a car or not is none of your business. Don't you have boyfriends of your own? Why are you so interested in someone else's husband?"Someone walking by overheard this comment and gave Evelyn's group a surprised look, their expression distinctly uncomfortable."You!" The girl's face flushed red, either from embarrassment or anger. "Who cares about your husband? That husband of yours who's too embarrassing to be seen in public and doesn't even have a car—who would be interested in him anyway!"Emma's lips twitched slightly, her expression momentarily strange.—The powerful Alexander Hamilton, too embarrassing to be seen in public and without a car?What would he think if he heard those words!She glanced at Evelyn.These girls clearly didn't know who she had married, but Eve
Overhearing the comment, Emma's lips curved imperceptibly.Lucy heard it too and felt like she might cough up blood.Are they blind?Emma, naive and gullible?The girl's tone hadn't shown trust at all—it was clearly sarcastic!Having accomplished her goal, Emma happily placed the thick stack of documents back in the box, planning to take them home.As for Lucy's birthday gift?If Lucy hadn't returned the shares, people would have said terrible things about her. By asking for the shares back, Emma had protected Lucy's reputation. Wasn't that thoughtfulness gift enough?"Enough now. The party is about to begin!" Robert glanced at Emma, his voice displeased.Emma said nothing more, walking away contentedly with her box.No rush—this was just the beginning. There would be plenty of time for everyone who had wronged her in her previous life to pay the price they deserved!Many eyes in the hall followed her movement. Beautiful things naturally draw attention.Seeing this, Evelyn'
Late at night in a narrow alley, a fragile figure curled up under the punches and kicks of several thugs. Emma Sullivan's throat was raw as she tried to fight back, but every movement was immediately overpowered.One of the attackers stomped on her shoulder and kicked her hard, exposing her face completely—one half stunningly beautiful, the other marred by severe burn scars."Jesus Christ! Flip her over so we don't have to look at that face. I'm about to throw up!""This is seriously who Alexander Hamilton married? The man has billions and unlimited power—why would he choose such a freak?!""Rich people have weird tastes, I guess. Enough talking—kill her quickly and let's get paid!"As the thugs prepared to strike again, footsteps echoed from the entrance of the alley.A well-dressed couple walked toward them, arm in arm."M-Mr. Hamilton, Miss Sullivan," the thugs stammered with nervous smiles. "Why did you come yourselves? We can handle this. She'll be dead within minutes!"Em...
