Edward's eyes still didn't move away from her face, not allowing any subtle change of expression to go unnoticed. He stared at her like a man solving his first puzzle, determined and serious.

Ellena was also staring at him this whole time. If outsiders were to see them now, they would've felt the tension rising on the rooftops. They were like a pair of kids, just waiting for the other to budge.

In the end, she's the first one who turned away.

They were just one person?

    Apart from Marilyn, only Spencer was left.Ellena was not surprised that Spencer would do such a thing. She had already expected it in her heart. It was only that she needed to confirm it again for herself. Some people never really changed, no matter how much time passed. Spencer was one of those people.After all, Spencer had used Elaine before. He had treated an innocent child as a tool to reach his own goals. He almost had Elaine… burned to death.When Ellena thought of this, her expression stiffened slightly. The memory was enough to make her chest tighten. She secretly clenched her teeth and forced herself to stay calm. There was no point letting anger show on her face now. What mattered was protecting Elaine and making sure such a thing would never happen again."Mommy, I'm full."Elaine's clear voice pulled Ellena back from her thoughts.She came back to her senses at once. The coldness in her eyes disappeared, replaced by warmth. She smiled at Elaine and said gently, "Come ove

    The messages continued to flood in, a relentless tide of digital noise that made it impossible for Ellena to focus on any single conversation. Names she hadn’t thought of in years blinked onto her screen.The sheer volume was overwhelming. She scrolled rapidly, her thumb a blur, but she couldn't find a single familiar face in the sea of notifications.She gave up on the inbox and tapped directly into her contact list, her eyes searching for one name she could trust implicitly: Chloe.If the world was burning, Chloe would be the first to tell her exactly which way the wind was blowing.She tapped on Chloe’s name and saw that a message had arrived only two minutes ago. Ellena clicked it, her eyes racing across the text.Chloe: "Ellena, words are circling around that you and Edward have a daughter. This news has spread throughout the entire Holston City. I think someone deliberately released this news."Chloe: "I'm going to be on the show soon. It's not convenient for me to call you. Giv

    Paul stood by the door, his hand lingering on the handle. When Ellena finished speaking, he looked momentarily startled, a flicker of surprise crossing his face before he quickly composed himself. He offered a small, respectful smile and a brief nod of acknowledgment. "I'll take care of it then, Miss Ellena," he said quietly before stepping out and closing the heavy door behind him with a soft click.The office grew quiet once more. Ellena took a deep breath, trying to shake off the remnants of the conversation she’d had at lunch with Chloe and Martin. She didn't want to carry that heavy, gloomy energy into the lounge where her daughter was resting. Pushing open the door to the inner room, she found the space bathed in the soft, golden light of the early afternoon.Elaine was still tucked under the blankets, a tiny, motionless mound on the oversized sofa. Ellena approached quietly. Elaine was a stickler for routine; she ate her meals with the precision of a clock, and it was already w

    If Edward had nothing to worry about, he would have confronted Spencer head-on long ago.He would never have tolerated Spencer acting so recklessly or allowed him to become increasingly brazen.The moment Spencer realized he could no longer use anyone to threaten Edward, he would naturally lose his leverage. Without that advantage, even Spencer would have no choice but to restrain himself.But Edward did have something he feared losing.That was why he continued to retreat.Ellena had naturally been shocked when she learned what Edward had done.More than shocked, she had been furious.Such a major decision, yet he hadn't discussed it with her.He hadn't even given her the chance to object.Everything had been decided before she knew anything.Yet even so.What could she do?No matter how angry she became, the decision had already been made.Edward had always been this kind of person.F

    Ellena had just brought Elaine to the office when her phone rang.Seeing Martin's name on the screen, she answered immediately."Ellena, I've temporarily suppressed the news on the Internet."She froze for a brief moment. Relief flickered across her face before confusion quickly replaced it."You..."Before she could finish speaking, Martin interrupted gently."Edward contacted me. He asked me to suppress it."Ellena instinctively turned to look at Elaine, who was quietly playing with the plush toy she had brought from home. Not wanting her daughter to overhear, Ellena walked toward the window and lowered her voice."Edward contacted you?""Yes," Martin replied. "He called me last night."There was a brief pause before he added meaningfully, "He also told me to tell you not to worry."A bitter smile tugged at the corner of Ellena's lips."Yes... not worry." Her voice carried an unmistakable trace of sarcasm. "How could I possibly worry?"The words sounded calm, but the resentment she

    Ellena gently stroked Elaine's soft hair.Her movements were slow and comforting, as though she hoped the little girl would not feel too sad.She smiled softly before explaining,"Yes.""There is something very important happening in her family.""So she needs to go back."Her voice was gentle, making the situation sound as natural as possible.Elaine blinked her large eyes.Although she didn't fully understand what "important family matters" meant, she could tell that Aunt Stacy wouldn't be staying with them anymore.After thinking for a moment, she obediently nodded.She didn't ask any more questions.Seeing how sensible Elaine was, Ellena felt both relieved and a little heartbroken.Children often understood more than adults imagined.They simply didn't know how to express it.Meanwhile, although Ellena had agreed without hesitation to let Stacy leave, she knew this matter would brin

    Ever since the last time Ellena pretended to faint and went to the hospital, she could not find a chance to leave.Edward even found her a family doctor in the villa and was on standby at any time.The villa was surrounded by bodyguards, as if they were guarding the prisoners. Ellena could not run out

    "Okay, I got it."Although Ellena said so, she knew in her heart that even if something really happened, she would not bother Chloe and Martin.Just as Chloe said, Camilla quickly came to the door for her.The next morning, Ellena was eating breakfast when she heard movement outside.Before she could ge

    Ellena heard Nicklaus's words and patted his shoulder emotionally. "I'm fine." She had been staying at home for the past few days. Apart from eating, there was nothing else she could do. Nicklaus smiled. "It's good that you're fine. Don’t worry. Edward will protect you." Nicklaus did not know what E
