A simple sentence stirred up a storm in Vanessa's heart, even making her question whether her decision to seek revenge against Luca was the right one.

The handsome man before her, with his deep, affectionate gaze, gave Vanessa the illusion that they had been deeply in love for many years.

As soon as this thought crossed her mind, Vanessa was startled and quickly extinguished it.

After all, five years had passed since she last saw Luca. Even if she had been sincere toward him five years ago, had he ever truly liked her? Even without those misunderstandings, his consistently indifferent attitude over the years was all too real.

Vanessa didn’t dare to ponder further or ask the man before her; she feared it might all just be her own delusion.

Just then, Mariah's phone call interrupted her thoughts, causing Vanessa to pause before hastily answering.

    Of course, Vanessa had another goal: to take this opportunity to clarify with Luca that they could never be together, so he could let go of his hopes.However, Luca was unaware of Vanessa's thoughts. As soon as he heard that she was willing to go out with him, his gloomy heart instantly brightened. He quickly replied, “Sure, let’s go to the zoo.”For some reason, Grandpa Kensington also found out about this plan.He glanced at Ezra, who was silently reading a book beside him, feeling somewhat uneasy.No matter how you looked at it, Ezra was Luca's biological child. It didn’t make sense for Luca to leave his son behind to go play with someone else’s daughter.Thus, Grandpa Kensington directly called Luca, insisting that he take Ezra along when they went out to play tomorrow.“Luca, it’s not that I’m criticizing you, but after all, Ezra is your child. You shouldn’t treat him so differently.

    Just when Vanessa was struggling to find an opportunity, one unexpectedly came knocking at her door.That day, while Vanessa was working in her office, she heard a loud commotion outside and furrowed her brow, asking, “What’s going on?”She soon noticed Ora looking pale.At that moment, a staff member rushed in and said to Ora, “Assistant Ora, there are people downstairs looking for you.”The employee’s expression was a mix of curiosity and concern.Upon hearing this, Ora's face turned even paler as she hurried downstairs.Sure enough, it was them.With a frown, Ora approached the group and said, “This is my company. If you want to cause a scene, please go somewhere else.”The people facing her were fierce and intimidating, completely disregarding Ora's words. The leader sneered, “We would love to go elsewhere, but if we don’t come to your company, should we go to your

The man was tall and handsome, with an exceptionally striking face.“Let me introduce everyone. This is Leonardo Blue,” Cassandra said slowly.Actually, there was no need for Cassandra to introduce him; everyone present immediately recognized Leonardo Blue.As a well-known actor, even those who hadn’t watched his dramas had surely heard his name in conversations.As for the reason?

Seeing this, Cassandra swiftly stepped forward and smacked the woman’s hand away.The woman feigned surprise, pretending as if she had only just noticed someone else in the room.Cassandra stared at her, instantly reading the woman's intentions. As a woman herself, she knew exactly what was going on. Without missing a beat, Cassandra said coldly, “What do you think you’re doing?

    The sudden voice startled Vanessa, and as she grasped the meaning behind the words, her anger flared. “So now you finally care about her?”There was a sourness in her words that even she hadn’t noticed.“I’m not…” Luca hesitated, seeming to have his own concerns.Vanessa had been waiting for an explanation from Luca, but he stammered for a long time without saying anything substantial.To Vanessa, it appeared that he was openly defending Beatriz.First, he wanted to be with her, and now he was reluctant to let go of Beatriz—did he think he could have it both ways?With that thought, Vanessa felt a knot tightening in her chest. She glanced at Luca, who seemed completely out of sorts, and decided to leave him hanging, not uttering a word for a long time.Meanwhile, Mariah was supervising the company's promotional photo shoot.

Let me see.”He grabbed Vanessa's hand and, seeing that only the skin was red and there were no blisters, he sighed in relief. “You should apply some toothpaste to the burn to ease the pain.”Vanessa hurried out to treat her burn, while Luca stayed in the kitchen to clean up the mess.Glancing at the

    At this moment, Grandpa Kensington had no idea that the people he had sent out had already been bought off by Beatriz, and no valuable information had been relayed back.Luca had finally sensed that something was amiss. His assistant suddenly called to report on the handling of the project, but the delayed payments were never his intention. Moreover, from what he knew about Grandpa Kensington, the old man had long ceased to involve himself in the company's affairs, so this didn’t seem like a directive from him.Currently, the only one eyeing the K Group was Beatriz, and the individuals behind the delayed payments were likely her people.Thinking of this, Luca clenched his fists in anger.He had underestimated Beatriz, who had unexpectedly extended her reach into his territory.However, Luca was also clear-headed; he couldn’t confront Beatriz directly just yet.

    Mariah felt a bit incredulous hearing this story: "Isn't it enough to do a paternity test to find out if he’s your biological son?"Luca shook his head. "It's not that simple. Beatriz is very cunning; I’m afraid even the paternity test results could be fake. Besides, she has already won over the old man. He believes that Ezra is his own grandson now, and at this point, whether it’s true or not has become less important."Mariah listened quietly, her tongue clicking at the twists and turns within wealthy families. The Kensingtons was relatively straightforward, but in more complicated families, it could easily become a drama fit for a palace intrigue.Of course, Mariah didn't miss the key point in Luca's words and pressed on, "So do you care whether Ezra is your biological son?"Luca's hand trembled slightly as he held the wine glass.

    Astrid nervously watched the doctor, silently praying. Magnus must be okay—if something happened to him, everything she had done would be for nothing.The doctor’s expression was grave as he said, “Mr. Voss’ injuries are severe. We’ve done everything we can; the rest is up to fate.”The old master was struck as if by lightning. His cane fell to the ground with a loud thud. His body trembled violently, and the color drained from his face.“Master!” The butler quickly supported him, his voice anxious. “Young Master will be fine, please don’t worry too much.”The doctor glanced at the old master hesitantly before saying, “There’s… one more thing.”The butler shot him a warning look and quickly intervened. “Whatever it is, it can wait.” Couldn’t he see that the old master had already suffered enough?“Let him speak. I can handle it.” The old master’s voice was firm.The doctor sighed and said apologetically, “Mr. Vo

Other vehicles swerved desperately to avoid a collision, honking frantically in alarm.Magnus's chiseled face was shrouded in grief, his deep-set eyes drowning in sorrow. His heart felt hollow, as if someone had carved it out, leaving behind only emptiness. His slender fingers gripped the steering wheel tightly, while his foot pressed mercilessly against the accelerator, pushing it to the limit.The car was practically flying.Dark clouds gathered, obscuring the sky, and a fierce wind howled through the streets. Pedestrians hurried along, shielding themselves from the incoming storm.A discarded newspaper was suddenly lifted by the wind, slamming against the windshield, momentarily blinding him.

    “What did you just say?” The emotions Magnus had been suppressing finally erupted. He suddenly reached out and grabbed the doctor by the throat, his chiseled yet icy face filled with murderous intent as he roared furiously, “You’re lying! She won’t die! Who allowed this?!”“Ugh…” The doctor, exhausted from hours of surgery, struggled as his throat was constricted. He gasped for air, his eyes rolling back.What a terrifying man! Everyone around was stunned, quickly rushing forward to rescue the doctor.“Mr. Voss, let go!” Edric, who had just arrived, pushed through the crowd and grabbed Magnus’s arm, trying to pry his fingers open.But Magnus, unwilling to accept reality, possessed an inhuman strength. No one could move him an inch. His bloodshot eyes burned with fury, as if they could set the world on fire.“Mr. Voss, stop!” Seeing that the doctor was on the verge of suffocation, Edric spotted a chair in the corner, grabbed it, and slammed it hard

    In his office, Magnus had just picked up his coffee when a sharp, searing pain tore through his chest. His hand trembled, and with a loud crash, the cup slipped from his grasp, shattering on the floor. Coffee splattered onto his shoes."Sir are you alright?" Edric, the stern-faced assistant with cold eyes, quickly stepped forward, took out a tissue, crouched beside him, and meticulously wiped the coffee stain off his shoe."I'm fine. Step back." Magnus withdrew his foot, his sharp brows furrowing. Why did his chest suddenly ache? The unease clawed at his heart like a ferocious beast, making him restless. He paused for a moment before ordering, "Prepare the car. We're going to the prison district."Edric's eyes flickered as he hesitated. "Sir the last time you visited Miss Thorne, the Old Master was already displeased.""Enough nonsense. Hurry up!" Magnus’s chiseled face darkened, his tone commanding.Edric cast him a wary glance

    Hearing the commotion, a nurse rushed in. When she saw Senna struggling violently, her wrists bloody, she immediately shouted, "Senna, calm down! If you keep this up, you'll have a miscarriage!"Senna froze. Her bloodshot eyes widened as she stared at the nurse. Her voice, hoarse like an old man at death’s door, trembled. "What... did you just say?""You were unconscious when you were admitted. The doctors discovered you’re already four weeks pregnant," the nurse said with sympathy. "Given your current situation, many would choose to terminate the pregnancy."Senna looked down at her still-flat stomach, unable to process the news.Astrid's eyes darkened as she clenched her fists. Then she sneered. "Senna, you really couldn’t stay lonely, huh? It’s been less than three months since you broke up with Magnus, and you’ve already gotten knocked up by another man. How shameless. When Magnus finds out, he’ll be so glad he left

    No matter how much Senna denied the charges, she was ultimately convicted and sentenced to three years in prison.She shared a cell with seven other female inmates. The moment she stepped inside, she could feel the hostility thick in the air. As the cell door slammed shut behind her, a woman with a hideous scar on her face led the others toward her, their eyes filled with malice, their lips curling into sinister smirks.Senna gripped the washbasin in her hands tightly, her expression unshaken by fear. She stood tall, her spine straight, exuding defiance.“So, you’re Senna Thorne. Someone paid us to give you a warm welcome.” The scarred woman sneered before turning to the others. “Ladies, we’ve got ourselves a new toy. Don’t hold back—beat her!”Senna had braced herself for this before she even walked in, but she hadn’t expected Magnus’s hatred to run so deep. Sending her to prison wasn’t en

    Senna sat in the detention cell, waiting for her sentencing. She had given up struggling—Magnus was convinced she was the murderer. There was no escape. Now, the only thing she cared about was Tobias. The door swung open, and a uniformed female officer called out, “Senna Thorne, someone’s here to see you.” Who would visit her at a time like this? She stood up hesitantly and followed the officer out. The moment she saw who it was, her heart clenched. Her voice trembled with urgency. “Nurse Zeta, what happened to my brother?” Nurse Zeta was the one taking care of her younger brother at the hospital. The solemn expression on her face made Senna’s anxiety spike. “Miss Thorne, your brother found out about your situation online. He’s devastated, and his condition has become unstable. He’s now experiencing complications. We had finally found a bone marrow donor, but for the past few days, we haven’t been able to reach them. Things aren’t looking good.” Senna f

    The torrential rain poured down in sheets, and the raging thunder seemed determined to tear apart the pitch-black night sky.Magnus Voss stood by the window, his dark eyes as cold as if they had been submerged in ice water. His long fingers gripped a glass of blood-red wine, his knuckles turning white—silent evidence of the fury simmering inside him.“Sir, Mrs. Voss has been standing outside for three hours,” Edric, his cautious assistant, reported in a low voice from behind him.Through the storm, he watched her—frail and trembling yet still holding onto her stubborn pride. Without a word, he tilted his head back and drained his glass.With a sharp crash, the glass shattered against the floor. In the heavy silence that followed, the steady sound of his footsteps echoed.Senna tilted her head up, letting the freezing rain drench her pallid face.
