"Kathy, you work too much,"

Bridgette sighed. If she hadn't called her, Kathy would have likely worked late into the night.

"It's mainly because I have so many ideas that I lose track of time," Kathy explained.

Since her rebirth, she had been filled with numerous ideas and was eager to incorporate them into her work, causing her to forget about the passage of time.

Meanwhile, Dominic, who was waiting in the CEO's office, patiently awaited Kathy's call. However, half an hour had passed, and there was still no sign of her.

Eventually, Dominic's patience wore thin, compelling him to personally venture to Kathy's office. Observing Dominic's departure from the office, April breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that she would be spared from working overtime that day.

Upon Dominic's arrival at Kathy's planning department, everyone else had already left, save for the five individuals Kathy had brought with her. Upon catching sight of him, Bridgette and the others swiftly addressed him as "Si

    Abigail and Bridgette caught sight of Xavier dragging Kathy away and swiftly maneuvered through the crowd, pushing aside people in their path to give chase. Just as they were about to reach them, Dominic intervened and halted Abigail and Bridgette in their tracks. "You two wait here," he asserted, "I'll bring Miss Kathy back."Though Abigail and Bridgette still harbored concerns for Kathy's safety, they reluctantly agreed and proceeded to call Janette and the others. As Xavier continued to drag Kathy, her steps grew increasingly unsteady, exacerbated by her wearing high heels. Consequently, it came as no surprise when she twisted her foot under the forceful pull of Xavier.Kathy's foot throbbed with pain, causing her to grimace and triggering an immediate surge of anger. In an irritated tone, she shrugged off Xavier's hand and demanded, "Xavier, what do you want?"Already unsteady on his feet, Xavier nearly stumbled after Kathy shook him off, but he managed to grasp onto the nearby

    Unaware that Xavier was behind her, Kathy proceeded towards their original seats in the corner, taking small steps. Upon reaching the sofa, she saw that it was vacant, as Bridgette and her friends were engrossed in the company of wealthy and attractive men at the bar. Kathy's expression turned sour as she felt the discomfort in her feet due to the walking. Just as she was about to sit down and rest, Xavier abruptly seized her arm.Caught off guard, Kathy spun around and found herself face-to-face with Xavier."Xavier, let go of me," Kathy uttered aloud, struggling to break free.“You were so eager to be by my side before. And now you want to discard me? Do you think I'm a mere puppet to be thrashed?" Xavier tightened his grip on Kathy's arm.With regret etched on her face, Kathy uttered;"I confess, I was foolish and oblivious to have fallen for you. You turned out to be a deceitful person disguised as someone trustworthy. And what did I receive in return? Homelessness and destitution

    However, Xavier refrained from taking action because he still had leverage over Kathy, which was the Harvard Group. Although the group technically belonged to him, it was Kathy who had built it from the ground up. He doubted that she would easily abandon the Harvard Group.Dominic noticed that Xavier was using his company as a bargaining tool and became concerned that Kathy might be influenced by him. "Kathy, there's no need to worry about anything once you join our Henderson Corp. You're free to propose new plans and suggestions, and we'll give them serious consideration. Our company is different from those that stifle your ideas. You have the freedom to pursue whatever you desire." He assured her."What do you imply, Dominic? To whom are you referring?" Despite being intoxicated, Xavier could discern the sarcasm laced within Dominic's statement."Whoever matches the description is precisely who I'm referring to." Dominic responded bluntly.If Kathy hadn't been present, he would hav

    "Can't you fit in the passenger seat?" He asked with a frown, ignoring her question when he saw that she decided to sit in the back seat instead. Kathy couldn't hide her exasperation with Dominic and rolled her eyes."Mr. CEO, we don't have the same status. I don't have the right to sit in your passenger seat," Kathy replied, leaving Dominic shocked by her words. The implication was that they weren't as close as he had believed. He felt helpless, having just defended Kathy, only to have her reject his support.Kathy was unaware of Dominic's thoughts, as her focus was on her swollen left foot. She attributed the swelling to Xavier's erratic behavior, believing that if he hadn't acted out, she wouldn't find herself in such a wretched state. As she gently touched her foot, a sudden intense pain shot through her, causing her complexion to turn pale. Observing Kathy's face turning pallid through the rearview mirror, Dominic questioned her in confusion;"What's the matter with you?""I'm

    Xavier inclined his head and gently placed a kiss on Alexia's forehead. "You should take some rest. I can tell you're tired," he advised. With those words, Xavier carefully lifted Alexia into his arms and settled her onto the bed.As soon as her head touched the soft pillow, Alexia felt herself drifting off to sleep. The exhaustion had taken its toll on her. Meanwhile, Xavier retrieved his phone and saw that its battery had died. Acting swiftly, he got a charger and proceeded to recharge his phone. Once it had powered up again, the phone suddenly began to ring, startling Xavier. Glancing at the caller ID, he recognized it as Mr. Wade, an investor and one of his business partners. Uncertain and sensing an ominous feeling, Xavier hesitated before ultimately deciding not to answer the call.After the incessant ringing ceased, Xavier hastily unlocked his phone, only to be confronted by a flood of messages that left him on the verge of a breakdown. As he perused the contents, his heart ne

    "Fetch my phone.” Kathy uttered weakly after the nurse departed, gently massaging her throbbing forehead.Xavier, his clothes stained with filth, overheard Kathy's authoritative tone, causing his already sour expression to intensify. Nevertheless, he remained silent, aware that he was responsible for her head injury. Xavier retrieved a small black leather bag from the couch and tossed it towards Kathy. Disregarding Kathy's intentions, he promptly exited the ward.Kathy took her phone from the bag and glanced at the time. It was already 9 AM in the morning. She had missed work, and even if she hadn't, leaving the hospital was out of the question. Frustrated, Kathy let out a helpless sigh and dialed Dominic's number.While stuck in traffic on his way to work, Dominic noticed Kathy's incoming call displayed on his car's screen. Assuming it could be related to some documents or an important discussion, he promptly answered. "Miss Kathy, what can I do for you?""Sir, I need to take a sick

    "Why did you bring her to the hospital? Didn't Kathy betray you?" After hearing Xavier's words, Alexia inferred that Xavier and Kathy had reconciled. "Because I had to." He bluntly uttered.But Alexia interpreted it differently. "Did you visit her yesterday?" She inquired further, visibly bittered and upset.Xavier paused and glanced at Alexia in annoyance."Are you finished with your questions?"Recognizing Xavier's impatience, Alexia ceased her inquiries and obediently remained silent. However, she remained dissatisfied. Despite Kathy leaving Xavier, he still had lingering thoughts about her, which ignited jealousy and drove Alexia to madness.If Xavier were aware of Alexia's thoughts, he would likely become furious. His visit to Kathy was solely prompted by the news reports. He intended to retaliate against her, but he hadn't anticipated an accident occurring. Despite harboring doubts within himself, Xavier still found Kathy to be somewhat useful, so he decided to kindly take he

    Xavier was utterly defenseless against Dominic's words. Every single thing they reported was undeniably true, without a shred of falsehood. Standing on the sidelines, Alexia interjected, addressing Kathy; "Are you simply going to stand idly by and watch this man insult Xavier? Didn't you once love him? How can you now team up with others to bully him?"Upon hearing Alexia's words, Kathy burst into laughter and retorted; "Alexia, have you lost your mind? Xavier and I have no connection anymore. Why should I come to his aid? I didn't even call the police, and that's already more than enough."Alexia was left speechless and anxiously grabbed Xavier's arm, pleading, "Xavier, I'm the one who reported this news. It's just a ploy by the mall. If you want to retaliate against me, go ahead. I have plenty of secrets that you can uncover."Xavier's intimidation no longer affected Dominic. Xavier was now helpless, futilely struggling but unable to achieve anything significant."Let's go," Xavier

    "I have no idea. Oh, by the way, I saw you at the Spring Festival Gala earlier," Kathy said, trying to please him. Dominic's face turned as dark as ink on the side."I've been to the Spring Festival Gala for three consecutive years," he said."I know!" Wilson's heart skipped a beat, his tone filled with excitement and joy that he tried to hide.Knowing that it was impossible between him and Kathy, and knowing that she had no interest in him, Wilson's heart still couldn't help but be stirred by her words."Didn't you mention it in your interview today?" Kathy asked."You watched my interview too?" Wilson couldn't help but laugh."They didn't change the channel all day," Dominic's cold voice came from beside Kathy, and then a handsome face that looked a lot like Wilson's was pressed against Kathy's cheek.This scene made Wilson's heart ache.Wilson forced a smile. "Brother, why are there so many people downstairs? What are they doing? The snow is so dirty, and they're just throwing it

    "Auntie, don't worry, he won't dare to sue you." After making the phone call, Dominic walked into the living room, washed his hands in the kitchen, and then sat down at the table, picking up a piece of dough that had already been rolled out into a dumpling skin."Are you not going to wrap them?" Dominic noticed that he was the only one in the family with a relaxed expression, and curiously looked at the Thompson family's parents and Kathy.Kathy saw Dominic's relaxed expression and knew that he must have resolved the issue. "Will it cause any trouble for Wilson?""Are you worried about him?" Dominic instantly regretted calling Wilson.He thought that he could reassure the Thompson family's parents and make Kathy feel at ease, but this girl was worried about whether it would cause trouble for Wilson."No." Although Dominic repeatedly assured them that Wilson would not sue the Thompson family's parents over such a minor matter, Esme and Thompson's brows remained furrowed all night.Th

    "Hey, I know, I know, we can't just blurt it out like this. What if we attract some paparazzi?" Naomi was about to leave when she caught sight of the big TV hanging on the wall of the Thompson family living room. She immediately pointed at the TV and exclaimed, "Isn't that him! The big star!"Now, everyone in the room looked at the TV, their eyes filled with curiosity.CL TV was playing an interview video of Wilson."This is already the third time that Wilson has been invited by the Spring Festival Gala program group. Do you have anything to say to the audience friends in front of the TV?"Wilson smiled gracefully, suppressing the kind of unruly air he had when he was with Kathy and others in private. "I hope this year's Wilson won't disappoint the audience friends and the Spring Festival Gala program group who invited me. I will work hard."As he spoke, Wilson even bowed to the camera, showing his politeness. His whole body exuded the aura of a noble young master, making people feel

    Kathy didn't expect this, "You, you've been sleeping for so many days, how did you suddenly...""To be honest, I haven't been sleeping well these past few nights. When you were sleeping, you really liked to move around..." Dominic hadn't finished speaking when Kathy felt her legs go numb and she unconsciously moved them.The quietness in the air was the most frightening.Kathy's mind went blank.It seemed like she accidentally touched something hard— His manhood! "What are you moving for!" Dominic tightly controlled Kathy's struggling wrist, "Don't move, I'll go take a cold shower."Kathy, embarrassed, timidly looked at Dominic and nodded, "Okay, you can go."Dominic was choked by her words and couldn't catch his breath for a while, but eventually he bent down.Kathy quickly turned her head, revealing her long and white neck."Ah!" Kathy exclaimed, her eyes misty and watery, pitifully looking at Dominic, "Why did you bite me! It hurts!"Hearing the words that made him want to indulg

    Kathy couldn't understand why Dominic was laughing so brightly at such a dangerous moment when they almost hit a dog. "Kathy, why do you look so pale?" Dominic turned his head and saw Kathy's worried face, as if she had just survived a disaster. Did what he said just now make her uncomfortable? Dominic was anxious and didn't know what was going on. "Kathy, if you mind, I won't say such things next time. Let's wait until we get married..." Dominic said. "Didn't you see the dog on the side of the road just now?" Kathy turned her head and looked at Dominic with an unkind expression. "I avoided it, didn't I?" Dominic felt wronged. Wasn't Kathy worried about the dog just now? "But why did you laugh so loudly after avoiding it? What if you hit it?" Kathy gave Dominic a white eye and turned her head to look out the window, giving Dominic a big slap on the back of his head. For no reason, Dominic smiled again with his mouth open. "Kathy, I'm really happy!" Kathy really didn't know what w

    Dominic felt that at this moment, Kathy was emitting an indescribable radiance. A long time ago, he fell in love with Kathy. Now, he was having difficulty breathing, and Kathy had become the only tenderness and light he longed for in this world.Thompson and Esme never doubted their daughter's abilities. Since childhood, Kathy has always been the most outstanding one. No matter how difficult things were, as long as Kathy said she could do it, even if it meant risking her life, she would do it. Yes, although their family was not outstanding, they had such an outstanding daughter! As long as their daughter was excellent enough to not fear any challenges, then being in a relationship with Dominic didn't seem like such a difficult thing to accept.Although Thompson and Esme still had worries on their faces, their masks were no longer as indestructible as before. "Kathy, won't this be too hard for you?" Esme felt sorry for her daughter.Extraordinary Kathy was born into such an ordinary

    "Mom, Dad, this is one of his business bank accounts, and it's also his account with the least amount of money." Thompson and Esme looked at it and were scared by the long string of numbers. Thompson took the phone from his daughter's hand in disbelief, stared at the string of numbers with wide eyes, and muttered to himself. "Have you counted it? How many digits is it?" "It seems to be nine digits..." "What do you mean 'seems to be'? How many digits exactly?" "Ten digits." Esme almost stumbled and couldn't stand firm. Thompson held her up and said, "Don't worry, my dear." "Oh my god, ten digits, tens of billions..." This is not even how it's portrayed in TV dramas. In an instant, Thompson and Esme panicked. Esme sighed and said to Kathy, "My dear, you must not be with him just for his money! The most important thing in a relationship is to live a good life together!" "Dominic, you've seen our family's situation. We are just ordinary working-class people, but

    "Ah! Bus route 3! Quick!" Thompson turned his gaze away from the double doors of the restroom and saw the bus approaching in the distance. He quickly bumped Dominic's arm with his shoulder and they ran towards the bus station with their bags.Dominic, who had never experienced this before, didn't know what to do.Seeing Dominic still in a daze, Kathy switched all her bags to her right hand, grabbed Dominic's arm, and ran forward. "What are you thinking?

    The family overcame many obstacles and finally arrived at the place where Thompson often bought clothes. The shop owner saw Thompson and immediately waved, "You're here again today?" "Yes, I'm here to buy some clothes for my son-in-law for the New Year! See if you have anything that fits him well, price is not a problem!" The shop owner was happy to hear this. In the past, Thompson always bargained hard and the shop owner didn't make much profit from selling him clothes. But today, Thompson couldn't lose face in front of his son-in-law, so he wouldn't bargain, which meant the shop owner could make a lot of money. When the shop owner saw Dominic, his eyes lit up. "Is your son-in-law a model? He's so handsome!" Thompson was quite proud when he heard this. "He's not a model, he's a CEO!" Esme couldn't help but poke Thompson twice and whispered, "Don't show off your wealth. Do you still want to bargain?"Thompson immediately realized his mistake and chuckled, "I was just kidding, he
