Ch55 - I hate drama
Last Updated:
2024-12-29 21:00:00Jade was nervously biting her nails, sitting in the car that had parked outside the Winfield building. She kept picking up her phone and putting it back down, unable to believe how cold Alaric had been towards her. That day outside the bar, when she was clearly drained and vulnerable, he hadn’t even looked at her before tossing her to his friend, Argo. He had no sense of compassion.
It was all Lena’s fault. If she hadn’t shown up and ruined her plans, maybe things would have been different. What bothered her even more was how Daisy, who used to reply to her messages enthusiastically, had been responding less and less lately. Her replies had become brief, almost robotic. If even Alaric’s mother wasn’t replying to her, it felt like she had lost one of the few connections to him.Today, Jade was doing her best to stay calm.——“Ms. Carrington, our miss has something to speak with you.”Not long after Lena stepped out of the building, a bodyguard stopped her. She lo

Rivals to Lovers Ch56 - Misheard
Not only was Elise freaking out, but Argo—Alaric’s buddy—nearly jumped out of his skin when he opened his social media app. He still hadn’t gotten to the bottom of what happened at the bar last time, and now there was another bombshell.A few days ago, he’d sent Alaric a message, but all he got back was an emoji—no actual answer to his questions. It was driving him nuts!Unable to wait until the next time he saw Alaric, Argo furiously typed a message: “Dude, who was that post aimed at just now?”To his surprise, Alaric replied almost immediately: “To the people spreading rumors.”Argo sprang to his feet, typing back in a frenzy: “Huh? You’re usually the last person to explain yourself!”Alaric’s response came quickly: “It’s gotten too annoying to ignore.”Argo was baffled. This was totally out of character. Last time, Jade had clearly ticked Alaric off at the bar, and he hadn’t done a thing about it. Yet today, he was acting the exact oppo

Two weeks later, Lena, having completely forgotten about the matter, found herself heading to Alaric’s house.It was the same familiar yard. The maple tree in the garden was still standing tall, its leaves starting to change color. She had been here once before, back in middle school, when a group project paired her with him by sheer bad luck. She had spent an entire afternoon here with a few classmates working on the assignment.That day wasn’t unpleasant, but what caught her attention back then...“Creak.” The door opened, interrupting her memory. A fresh, clean scent wafted out as Alaric appeared, dressed casually. His hair was unstyled, with his bangs naturally falling over his forehead—it looked like he had just taken a shower, which gave him a boyish charm that matched his age.Lena glanced at him and shoved the documents she was holding against his chest. “Here. The files you wanted.”Alaric took them with a small nod. “Thanks. Zayn couldn’t make it, so I

BoundaryAlaric didn’t have the habit of locking his door at home, mainly because no one ever came up to the third floor to look for him. The maids only came in to tidy up his room when he was out.Max skillfully slammed the door open and slipped inside. Hearing the sound, Alaric, who was in the dressing room, walked out. He saw Max looking up at him, so he bent down to pet Max gently and asked, “How did you get up here by yourself?” Then, scanning the doorway, he noticed a pair of ankles quietly standing there. That’s when he realized Lena had come up as well.He stopped buttoning his shirt, having already done up all the buttons except for the two on his chest. Lena acted nonchalantly but avoided making eye contact, saying, “Sorry, I didn’t know you were changing, and your door wasn’t locked…”Alaric seemed to think for a moment, then lowered his hand. “It’s fine. Did you need something?”He didn’t invite her inside to talk, and Lena stayed by the door, hesitating. “I wanted to ask

“You’re supposed to be fearless, aren’t you?” Alaric lightly brushed Lena’s wrist with his fingers, his gaze lazily drifting from her hand upward. His tone was casual, almost teasing. “Or is being alone with me stirring up some pleasant memories?”The atmosphere between them had always been subtle, ambiguous, and unspeakable.His eyes lingered on her faintly flushed cheeks for a moment, pausing there for a few seconds longer than intended. What started as an attempt to tease her and ease the tension took an unexpected turn.Almost instinctively, the back of his hand grazed her face.Lena flinched as if electrocuted, immediately turning her head away. “Stop being so full of yourself.”Yet her racing heartbeat betrayed her.Meanwhile, Max, the dog they had both been ignoring, circled their feet in a restless loop. His fluffy tail brushed against Lena’s calf, making her leg itch.The room suddenly felt unbearably warm. Her ears turned a shade of red as the heat grew. A warm breath ghoste

After hanging up the phone, Lena’s mind went blank for a few minutes, unable to think of anything.The call had been from her lawyer, notifying her that the court in Country U had ruled in favor of extradition, and the transfer process was officially underway. Her father, Martin Carrington, would be escorted back home next month.Back in early May, investigators from the Economic Crime Division had come to her door. That was when she first learned about her father’s $30 million embezzlement from his company. Later, she found evidence of the embezzlement in a document provided by her former company’s accountant, Elly. After handing it over to her lawyer, bits and pieces of information started trickling in. Among them: her father had used a fake identity and engaged in money laundering in Country U, which caught the attention of local authorities. He was subsequently arrested, and during a background check, it was discovered that he was an internationally wanted criminal. The authoriti

The event was held in a cocktail reception format, arranged by the Secretary Ivy in coordination with Ridley Corporation. Ridley reserved quite a few seats, so in addition to the six departmental heads attending the meeting that day, two to three manager-level personnel from each department were also included.Ridley sent over more than ten representatives as well.In Lena's project development and management division, managers from the Design and Planning Department and the Cost Control Department were present. Representing the Cost Control Department was a supervisor from the Procurement Department—a man Lena recognized. He had accompanied her during the negotiations with Door Appliances, and his performance that day was commendable. He had even stepped in to shield her from drinking during toasts, although the representative from Door Appliances eventually insisted she drink. Despite that, Lena had a decent impression of Gary, as he had also participated in team-building activities

Just moments ago, Lena had been silently commending Gary in her heart. Who would’ve thought that the rumors came from him? She asked again, “Are you sure? Do you have any solid proof?”Iris looked serious. “After investigating, the members of his group admitted that it originally came from him. But apparently, when Gary shared it, he also said he ‘heard it from someone.’ However, who that ‘someone’ is, remains unknown.”Lena couldn’t figure out his motive, but she did know he was present today. “Did you keep an eye on him earlier? See if he did anything suspicious?”Iris rolled her eyes upward, trying to recall, then shook her head. “Before I came over to meet you, I did secretly watch him for a while. But he’s very alert—didn’t show anything unusual.”Despite that, unease lingered in Lena’s thoughts. “Keep an eye on him for me going forward.”“No way.” Iris refused firmly. “I’m staying by your side tonight. You didn’t look well earlier, and I’m not comfortable l

The crowd’s attention zeroed in on the waiter and the manager.The manager, startled by the sudden turn of events, flushed red and pale in quick succession. Waving his hands defensively, he stammered, “I’m really here to resolve the issue, not to divert attention or help anyone escape!”Though clearly rattled, he stayed rooted to his spot. Alaric’s gaze shifted past him, locking onto the waiter. “What are you so nervous about?” he asked coldly.The waiter’s face turned ashen, and he seemed unable to form a single word.“He’s probably just scared,” the manager quickly interjected, his eyes darting toward the waiter in a silent plea for him to speak up. The intensity of his stare made it seem like his eyes might pop out.When the waiter remained silent, Alaric motioned for Iris to continue what she had left unsaid. She glanced around, clearly hesitant, before taking a deep breath. “I’m not sure if I saw it wrong, but after he bumped into me, he deliberately adjuste

Lena’s dress was made of pure white satin, its smooth fabric reflecting a delicate sheen under the lights, exuding an aura of elegance and sophistication.The minimalist design featured thin straps and a square neckline, perfectly outlining the graceful curve of her shoulders and collarbones.The highlight of the dress was the double thigh-high slits on both sides, adorned with delicate pearl and metal buttons. Paired with a shimmering silver ankle-tie stiletto, the entire look was effortlessly stunning.This time, Elise didn’t overload her with extravagant jewelry, said that simplicity and elegance suited the occasion best.Elise dragged Lena to a commercial high-rise that looked strikingly similar to the one they had visited months ago. Lena frowned in confusion. "Are you sure he’s here?"The "he" she referred to was Elise’s boyfriend—the owner of the nightclub they had gone to last time."Yes," Elise pointed upward. "One of his bars is on the top floor."Lena was taken aback. If he

A month and a half later, Alaric’s injuries had completely healed.Just in time for Lena’s court case against her adoptive parents. He was by her side through it all.The trial officially began in mid-January. When Lena once again faced her family in court, she felt none of the past longing or hesitation—only a detached sense of calm.Her brother wore his usual arrogant expression, looking down on her even from the defendant’s seat, his gaze filled with disdain. Her father’s face was unreadable.As for her mother… she looked far more haggard than before. The once-radiant woman was nowhere to be seen. When their eyes met, Lena thought she caught a flicker of guilt, perhaps even regret.

Lena stayed at Alaric’s home for a few days, spending a surprisingly pleasant Christmas and New Year with his family.Since Alaric was still recovering from his injuries and couldn’t go out much, they welcomed the last night of the year in his garden—counting down to midnight while setting off fireworks.The garden was adorned with golden string lights wrapped around the trees, gently swaying in the night breeze. The twinkling lights resembled scattered stars, casting a warm glow over the flower beds, where vibrant hellebores were still in full bloom, bringing life to the winter night.As the countdown on the television echoed through the air, Lena clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, and silently made a New Year’s wish.She ho

Twelve hours on a plane had taken them from the sweltering heat back to a city blanketed in snow.Alaric had already received a reply from his grandmother, Isla, telling them to head straight to the house."Your house? Won't your mom not want to see me?" Lena asked, skeptical.Alaric shrugged. "No idea. Whatever method Grandma used to convince her, it worked."After landing, the family driver picked them up."But if you don’t feel comfortable going, I can ask the driver to bring Grandma out instead. I booked a restaurant before, and I haven’t canceled it yet.""
Rivals to Lovers Ch112 - Christmas Gift
On Christmas Eve night, this country, surrounded by the sea, welcomed the festive cheer. The sound of church bells and street carols intertwined as the moist evening breeze drifted in.Before the shops closed, Lena stepped out to buy some essentials nearby. Alaric said he’d take care of dinner, so she didn’t have to worry.But while passing a charming boutique, she decided to get into the holiday spirit and bought some gingerbread along with two treats—a pair of Christmas Santas made from strawberries.Clutching her treats, she headed back to the hospital. Remembering the call with Elise and the report that had just come out, she asked Alaric as she entered his room, "You must be happy now, right?"She didn’t notice the dimmed lights inside.

"Whoa! Lena, you’re crazy—this is true love!" Elise didn’t care that she was in the middle of a date on Christmas Eve; as soon as she saw the trending news, she immediately made an international call to Lena."The whole world knows now—you and Alaric are officially the ‘golden couple’!"Her tone was so exaggerated, as if she had never heard of this before.In reality, when Lena was waiting to board her flight to Singapore, she had a feeling that she might be spotted by reporters. So, to be ahead of the news, she had proactively told Elise that she and Alaric were officially together.Elise had always suspected that there was something going on between them, so back then, her reac

This doubt was resolved in no time.A young woman’s figure emerged from the patient room, and when she looked up, she was surprised to see Lena."This is Emma, the fund financial advisor from Ridley’s investment side," Zayn introduced.He hadn’t realized they’d already met.Though everyone was surprised to see each other here, they quickly resumed their usual expressions. Lena greeted her,"Hi Emma, are you here on a business trip too?""Ah, yes, I arrived a few days ago to handle a merger case, and I’m here to spend Christmas as well—my family is in town," Emma explained after a moment’s thought.Then she added,"Keaton told me that Alaric ended up in the hospital an

Lena shook off Daisy’s words with a forceful gesture, taking a deep sniff as she pushed open the revolving door of the building.A blast of cold wind hit her—much chillier than she’d imagined. Snowflakes settled on the tips of her hair and on her scarf, giving the impression that she was draped in a delicate layer of white gauze.When she looked up to snap a photo with her phone, fresh snow landed on her cheeks and melted instantly from her body heat.After sending the photo to Alaric, thinking he should be calling any minute, she decided to wait for his call out on the street.But two minutes passed, then five, and she still hadn’t received any call from him. Alaric was always punctual.
Rivals to Lovers Ch108 - His mother
In Lena’s eyes, Daisy was never the traditional kind of mother.Maybe it was because she’d always been fiercely independent. When Alaric’s grandparents—Daisy’s own parents—transformed their trading company into a real estate business, Daisy poured a lot of effort into Winfield.She and her husband were married through a family alliance, and at the time, the company was just getting started. Daisy needed a husband who could help support her career. In other words, she was willing to sacrifice even her marriage for her career without complaint.That mindset even extended to how she raised her son—as if nurturing a business.In that respect, Lena felt Daisy was somewhat similar t
