Tristan carelessly sprayed a mouthful of water onto the file in front of him while not paying attention. Hastily rising from his seat, he reached for a few tissues to blot the dampened papers. Maricela simply stood there, observing the mishap unfold before her eyes.

Frustrated, Tristan shook his head and tossed the wet tissue into the trash can. He then turned to Maricela with a smile and suggested, "Let's skip lunch; I've been swamped with work recently."

Despite Tristan's smile, Maricela sensed a lack of sincerity in his words, which irked her slightly. She had approached him earlier with a humble invitation to have lunch together, only to be turned down.

"Tristan, I've told you before that if you ever face any challenges at work or in life, you can always turn to me. You don't need to treat me to lunch," Maricela said, forcing a smile.

"It's fine. If you're busy, then never mind," she added before promptly leaving, her destination unknown.

After Maricela departed, Tristan's colleag

    Kathy looked incredulously at Wilson and exclaimed, "I can't believe it! A big star like you graduated from the police academy! Why didn't you choose to serve in the government and contribute to the country instead of diving into the entertainment industry, which you don't appear to enjoy much?"Wilson couldn't contain his amusement and erupted into laughter, his shoulders shaking as he even rolled on the sofa.Observing Wilson's reaction, Kathy's expression turned cold, resembling someone staring at an iceberg. Her eyes held a mix of confusion, suspicion, and a hint of disdain.Dominic, seating himself next to Kathy and placing his arm around her waist, asked Wilson, "Come on, enough joking around. What brings you here today?"Instead of addressing Dominic's question directly, Wilson wiped away his tears from laughing and remarked, "Sister-in-law, how could they possibly throw someone like me into a group of men? It would be a waste of my good looks, don't you think? There are still

    Xavier's intuition told him that something was not right after hearing Carissa's words. "Carissa, don't try to intimidate me. I didn't share the video with anyone!""Hmph, you still want to argue at this point! Xavier, you have half an hour to come to my office, or you won't see the sun tomorrow!"Despite Carissa's wish to eliminate Xavier directly, she was clueless about the sender of the anonymous email. She needed to keep Xavier alive to stand a chance of discovering the culprit. Otherwise, if the video were to be leaked, it would mean the end for them!"You!" Xavier felt unfairly scolded by Carissa, feeling a sense of deep injustice. Before he could say much, Carissa abruptly ended the call."Xavier, what's the matter? Who upset you?" Alexia could tell from the voice that it was a woman, but she had learned to be cautious and not confront Xavier directly after all she had been through."Who else could it be? It's that troublesome Carissa. She's been causing problems for me almost

    "It appears that your father issued a deadly order to him. Please don't dwell on it," Dominic expressed apologetically to Kathy. Kathy graciously waved her hand. "It's not your fault. I've always found the dynamics within your family a bit peculiar," she remarked, her gaze inquisitive. Dominic met her gaze earnestly and nodded in agreement."The full story is quite long. If you're interested, I can share it with you slowly once we're back home. There's nothing I need to keep from you," he assured her.Observing the interaction between the "young couple," Wilson's expression betrayed his confusion. What's happening? Why do they seem so close?"It's getting late. I'm feeling hungry. Let's head home," Dominic suggested.Kathy objected, standing up and tugging at Dominic's arm. "Absolutely not! Dominic, let's continue in my office. We must complete this document today, no matter what!"Disregarding Wilson's calls trailing behind them, Kathy maintained her grip on Dominic's hand as they e

    Kathy's face flushed slightly as she exclaimed, "What?" She swiftly unbuckled her seatbelt, alighted from the car, and bid a quick farewell to Wilson, trying to brush off the awkward moment. As they strolled along, Wilson couldn't help but chuckle to himself. He felt a twinge of pity, observing the couple ahead of him who were openly displaying their affection."Kathy, brace yourself for what lies ahead," Dominic suddenly cautioned.Perplexed, Kathy asked, "Why?""Our residence is quite old and in a state of disrepair. Please bear with us," Dominic apologized sincerely.Kathy burst into laughter unexpectedly. "Is that so? You describe your house as old and run-down. When I was in the United States, I visited Prince Hillary's castle. I believe your house is twice the size of his castle and even more exquisitely designed. It must have been crafted by a renowned artist, right?"Before Dominic could respond, Wilson whistled from behind them. "Kathy is incredible! When Carissa visited bef

    Kathy expressed surprise as she asked, "Can she handle it?" Dominic reassured her, "Patricia is very capable. My father is a quiet man. I left home at fifteen due to a misunderstanding with him. I used to believe my mother's death was somehow linked to him, but the misunderstanding was later cleared up. However, the past few years have been irreparable."Upon learning about Dominic's tragic past of losing his mother at fifteen, Kathy was deeply moved by the pain he must have endured."Dominic..." Kathy started, a sudden wave of guilt washing over her. Realizing she had not been a supportive girlfriend and was unaware of such a significant event in his life, she felt a pang of guilt. The thought of how Carissa had heartlessly left Dominic during his deepest misunderstanding with his father weighed heavily on her conscience."It was a dark period, but now, fortunately, there is nothing that can weaken me except for you," Dominic remarked lightly, making it sound simpler than it truly wa

    Unexpectedly, Estela found herself on the brink of becoming a shareholder in her own company, a situation she found difficult to accept. Growing up together since childhood and attending the same university, she couldn't understand why she was struggling financially while Estela seemed to have everything she desired, including receiving shares in Hcorp through her family."Very well, I'll count on you then," Maricela said with a warm smile to Estela, raising her wine glass.Estela reciprocated by raising her glass and assuring, "You can rely on me."Although Maricela smiled, her heart turned cold as she recalled the arrangement she had recently made with Carissa. She realized she didn't need to depend on Estela to bring down Kathy.After browsing through some items, Kathy ultimately purchased a scarf. "Shall we head back now?" Dominic inquired as they re-entered the car."Exactly, why else would we have rushed out like that?" Kathy affirmed with a nod."But, do you think my father wil

    Kathy was so taken aback that she was rendered speechless, merely gazing at Dominic in disbelief. His movements were incredibly swift!"When did you have Lukas create this? Weren't we together all day today?" She inquired.After a moment of consideration, Dominic responded;"Probably after Wilson delivered it. While on the way from my office to yours.""You truly have a crystal ball," Kathy exclaimed breathlessly."My dear Kathy, may I extend an invitation for you to stay here?" Dominic leaned forward slightly, gesturing towards the room with a "please."Kathy blushed instantly, a touch of irritation in her expression. "If I decline, will I be left homeless tonight?"Dominic shook his head. "Certainly not. You still have the option to stay in a hotel."Noticing a gentle smile in the corner of Dominic's eyes, Kathy realized she had once again fallen into his clever scheme. She playfully pushed him aside and made her way towards his apartment."Where is my room?" Kathy inquired."I'll sh

    Dominic let out a sigh and gave a nod."You're correct. When the overall environment is unfavorable, it impacts everyone. While we may not be able to change that, one thing we can change is Hcorp's development strategy."Kathy nodded in agreement, "I see what you mean. The kind of financial activities that arise are influenced by the environment. Basic needs like food cannot be ignored.""Therefore, it's crucial for Hcorp to transform now. The company's real economy is notably fragile, with a significant portion being in the virtual economy. If we were to face an economic crisis, we would likely be hit the hardest and could potentially shrink by more than fifty percent."Kathy's expression turned into a tight frown. She had considered this issue as well but was unsure about how to address it."Do you already have a comprehensive plan in place?" Kathy suddenly smiled and glanced at Dominic.Dominic nodded, "Accepting Westford's funding is just the beginning. Our primary focus lies with

    "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. It felt quite novel.Kathy pulled Dominic to sit in the double seat at the

    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
