Kathy briefly clasped Wilson Henderson's hand before releasing it, eyeing him with suspicion. "So, where does the name Will Ryder come from?"

"Oh, that's just a stage name," Wilson replied casually.

Kathy nodded, now enlightened.

"You weren't supposed to be here for the concert. Why the sudden change of plans?" Dominic interjected, showing his discontent at Wilson's unexpected appearance, disrupting their private moment.

"I'm here for the concert; I just found a replacement," Wilson clarified, nonchalantly resting his hands behind his head. His demeanor and actions seemed to be at odds with each other.

Kathy took another careful look at the two brothers. They bore a strong resemblance, with Wilson exuding a sunny and outgoing personality, while Dominic appeared more stoic and dominant.

"Another replacement?" Dominic arched an eyebrow but chose not to comment further on Wilson's indifferent demeanor.

"Otherwise, should I sing, dance, and rap non-stop for three hours? That wouldn't be m

    Kathy and Dominic swiftly settled back into their seats."Why are you back again?" Dominic sighed, addressing Wilson.Wilson chuckled as though he had missed the previous exchange entirely. "Brother, I just came to inform you that I'm leaving. Gotta make an appearance before calling it a day, right?""You don't need to announce your departure to me every time," Dominic remarked, waving his hand dismissively.Wilson departed with a smile, even winking at Kathy before exiting.Once the door closed, Dominic's demeanor soured."What's the matter?" Kathy, still a bit flustered from the recent interaction with Dominic, her face flushed, asked."Why is your face red?" Dominic inquired coolly, studying Kathy.Kathy suddenly tensed. "What?""It's nothing. Let's head home," Dominic said, shaking his head, letting out a sigh, and guiding Kathy out of the teahouse.Kathy glanced up at the sign of the establishment, "Clear Wind and Bright Moon," finding it apt for the ambiance of the show house.O

    Kathy was surprised to see her and nodded, "Sure, but I have to finish processing the documents first." Maricela smiled, "I already took up your time, so of course I'll have to wait until you're free. I'm already grateful that you agreed." Kathy looked at Maricela as if she were a monster. Why did she suddenly change her attitude? There must be something fishy going on. Kathy didn't know what Maricela was up to. "It's okay, I'll come find you when I'm done."After Maricela gently closed the door, Kathy leaned back in her chair and watched her disappear. Her eyes unconsciously narrowed. After a moment of contemplation, Kathy decided to call Dominic.Kathy was surprised by the unexpected visitor and agreed, "I need to finish processing the documents before we can proceed." Maricela, appreciative of Kathy's agreement, remarked, "I've already taken some of your time, so I'll wait until you're available."Kathy's expression towards Maricela changed, giving her a suspicious glance.

    "The sun unexpectedly rose in the west today!" Bridgette rubbed her glasses and peered up. The two individuals outside the window had already moved on."No, I must call Kathy!" Abigail grabbed her phone and stated."Abigail." Phoebe swiftly confiscated Abigail's phone. "Who is Kathy? She's an ancient demon who has existed for millennia. Can Maricela deceive her? Let's not intervene. If Kathy has a message, she will inform us.""Are you suggesting that Kathy is an ancient demon who has lived for thousands of years?" Abigail playfully kicked Phoebe's leg. "Have you forgotten how Kathy was tricked by Xavier in the past?""Xavier seduced Kathy with his charm. Maricela is a woman and cannot charm her. Without love, Kathy is simply an ancient demon. Has she ever been bested by anyone else? She's always the troublemaker." Phoebe rubbed his leg and remarked to Abigail.Abigail pondered for a moment and then nodded. "Never mind, I'll inquire with Kathy directly when she returns."Maricela and

    "Are you still interested in making a transfer?" Kathy's heart was in turmoil, yet she managed to keep a calm expression as she raised an eyebrow and inquired of Maricela.Maricela nodded. "Yes, my family is facing some challenges. I've heard that the marketing department's combination of base salary and commissions can potentially yield thirty to forty thousand a month, so I want to give it a try."Kathy took a sip of her coffee and regarded Maricela with a half-smile. "Our colleagues in the sales department at Hcorp have years of experience in sales. Nonetheless, as you mentioned, only the top performers can reach the thirty to forty thousand range.""It's alright, I'm willing to put in the effort!" Maricela looked at Kathy with sincerity, showing her determination to work hard.Kathy shook her head. "Some things go beyond just working hard. Have you had any previous experience in marketing?"Maricela hesitated at the question, briefly biting her lower lip before shaking her head.J

    "Do you have a moment to talk?""Of course, I'm available," Lena replied with a smile and asked, "Maricela, would you like to have lunch together?""I've ordered takeout, it should arrive soon. Let's skip the company cafeteria today."Was Maricela, known for her thriftiness, actually treating Lena to a meal? A sudden unease crept into Lena's heart."Maricela, is there something on your mind that you'd like to discuss?" Lena guided Maricela to a chair."Lena, ever since Kathy joined our company, she's been incredibly arrogant. I know you're also not fond of her behavior. I've thought of a way to address Kathy's arrogance."Lena felt she had stumbled upon something significant, noticing Maricela's eagerness to share her plan. With a concerned expression, she asked, "What approach are you suggesting?""How would you handle a woman as arrogant as Kathy?" Maricela playfully prodded.Lena shook her head, saying, "Don't tease me, Maricela. I don't have your intelligence!"Maricela grinned sm

    "A contract? These people are too…" she accidentally blurted out.It was astonishing to discover that such a crucial document was being handled so carelessly, with completely inaccurate data and an incorrect quotation – it was off by ten percent. Should this flawed contract be signed, Hcorp would stand to lose money on the order and potentially face legal repercussions due to the erroneous data.Kathy felt her body tremble uncontrollably; she had personally drafted this contract. Who could have tampered with the data?Crumpling the contract into a ball, she threw it forcefully to the ground. After a moment, Kathy stooped down, unfolded the contract, fed it into the shredder, then proceeded to make a new copy of the flawed contract using the copier. She placed the new copy back in its original position, erasing any trace of her presence, determined to uncover the saboteur behind this deceitful act.After Kathy departed, a silhouette emerged in the Distribution department, visibly relie

    Kathy let out a sigh and gently pressed her temple, gesturing around them. "Dominic, everyone is observing us."Dominic glanced around in surprise, following Kathy's indication. Indeed, the elderly diners nearby were all observing them.Possibly due to their extensive life experiences and lack of inhibition, the elderly individuals seemed unfazed. They took notice of the young couple and even greeted Dominic."Young man, is this your first visit here? Is the lady beside you your girlfriend? She's truly lovely!""What a charming pair they make!"Dominic's complexion turned even redder than Kathy's, his fair skin now flushed with embarrassment."Hahaha!" Kathy chuckled at Dominic's discomfiture. "Dominic, do you now see what I've been feeling? You're so observant, yet you didn't even notice the attention from these elderly folks when we arrived?"Teased by Kathy, Dominic shook his head with a hint of resignation and tousled her hair. "I'm just concerned about your well-being.""Why worr

    Dominic's shoulders quivered, and his head drooped, leaving Kathy uncertain whether he was crying or laughing."What's the matter with you? Did I say something inappropriate? I admit it was my mistake to address you as 'husband,' but you were the one who brought me to this local eatery..." Kathy's words were suddenly muffled by something warm and velvety.Her eyes widened as she gazed into Dominic's deep, dark eyes, which were alarmingly close to hers. The atmosphere felt stifling, almost suffocating."Say something if you have something to say. Why did you kiss me?" Kathy pushed Dominic away forcefully, pressing her thumb to her lips as if savoring the moment yet feeling aggrieved."Kathy, I will wait until the day you willingly acknowledge me as your husband." Dominic's eyes and eyebrows hinted at a smile as he embraced Kathy and offered her a piece of chicken."Dominic! This is too much! I made such a significant concession just now, and you rewarded me with chicken! It doesn't matc

    "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? Did Dalein give you a brainwashing attack!"Even if Dominic didn't know why The Thompson family was desperately running forward, he understood that all he could do now was to hurry up.After rushing, with the help of a kind driver, the Thompson family finally squeezed onto the bus.Dominic looked at the empty seats on the bus, his Adam's apple moved, he swallowed hard, and regained his senses.It seemed that he had just done something he had never done before.

    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
