Daxton watched the affectionate scene between the two, his jealousy flaring hotter by the moment. 

Why?! Why could Luca hurt her so deeply yet still make her love him helplessly, while his own silent devotion had gone unnoticed? 

Rage nearly consumed Daxton’s reason.

If that was the case, then he had no need to hold back any longer.

With a cold sneer, he didn’t know whether he was mocking the tragic lovers before him or ridiculing himself as a clown.

Then, Daxton pulled a handgun from behind him, loading a bullet into the chamber, and aimed it at the two. “Luca, I’m giving you a choice. Only one of you can leave here today. Will it be Vanessa or yourself?”

Vanessa frowned and shouted, “Daxton, are you insane?!”

This time, Daxton didn’t glance at Vanessa but fixed his gaze on Luca.

Luca had anticipated that things wouldn’t be simple. The current situation was within

    Luca’s instincts told him that the documents Alden had burned were crucial—very likely the evidence of Alden’s crimes. Luca stood up abruptly and said urgently, “Find a way to stop him immediately. I’ll be there soon.” His assistant sprang into action without hesitation. At that moment, Alden spotted them and tried to flee, but the quick-witted assistant blocked his way. Two other subordinates also rushed forward, restraining Alden. The assistant immediately attempted to extinguish the fire. Seeing the charred fragments of paper, the assistant felt a pang of regret—they were still one step too late. There was no way to tell how important those documents had been. Before long, the sound of police sirens filled the air. Alden froze, stunned, as if the sky had collapsed around him.

"If that wretched woman hadn’t kept competing with me over Luca, I wouldn’t have gotten caught up in this mess and made these mistakes."“I’ll make her pay,” Beatriz swore under her breath.Since Vanessa cared so much about Cortex, Beatriz decided she’d make sure that company couldn't survive. ‘Let’s see how she’ll fight me after that.’With that thought, she picked up her phone and called one of her business partners. “Mr. Aamon, it’s been a while.”“Miss Langley!

    Upon receiving the response, Vanessa felt a bit disappointed, but at least the other party hadn’t outright rejected her, which made her feel there was still a chance to negotiate.“Alright, I hope Mr. Aamon will reconsider. I’ll take my leave for now.”After leaving Mr. Aamon's office, Vanessa met with several other executives, but received the same reply from each of them.Back at Cortex, she sat down and closed her eyes for a moment to rest.After a day of running around, she was utterly exhausted.When Luca arrived, her assistant stopped him at the door. “Mr. Kensington, Miss Saxon is resting right now and isn’t available to meet.

This is his personal car—no other woman has ever ridden in it before."Zara scoffed. "Just now, Assistant Edric was still saying that your young master deeply loves Senna Thorne. Yet the first day he saw me, he knocked me out and dragged me home, and now he’s letting me ride in his exclusive car. So much for his 'deep love.' Nothing but a cheap lie."The driver had no words to counter her and could only continue driving in silence.The rest of the journey passed without a word. When Zara finally got home, she rushed straight to the bathroom and vomited violently over the sink.At that moment, a pale, slender male hand gently patted her back.

    Watching Magnus’s face darken, Astrid was secretly delighted. She sobbed even harder, tears streaming down as she pleaded, “Magnus, you’re my brother-in-law, you have to stand up for me…”Zara fanned the flames from the side, smirking. “Look how miserable she looks, crying like that. You really need to stand up for her, or people will say you’re an unkind brother-in-law, just standing by while outsiders bully your sister…”She suddenly stopped mid-sentence.Magnus had stepped in front of her and, without warning, grabbed her hand. His grip was firm and domineering, completely overpowering her struggles. No matter how much she tried to wrench her hand away, she couldn’t break free. She glared at him, her anger surging—if he was really standing up for Astrid, she would tear him apart.“Magnus…” Astrid watched as Magnus held Zara’s hand tightly.

Her lips twitched—rich people’s world was something she would never understand. This was considered a ‘simple meal’?!She casually picked a seat and was just about to sit down when a maid beside her immediately spoke up in alarm, “Miss Skye, you can’t sit there…”“Oh? I can’t?” Zara looked up at Magnus, blinking innocently. “Then where should I sit?”“Step back,” Magnus cast a cold glance at the maid before his lips curved into a gentle smile. “That seat is meant for you. No one else is qualified to sit there.”“What’s so special about this seat?” Zara raised an eyebrow as she sat down.“You’re hungry, so just eat.” Magnus didn’t answer her question. Instead, he picked up the cutlery and handed them to her before using the serving spoon to place a portion of crab roe into her plate.“I can do it myself. Don’t serve me food. I

    Seeing the man in the wheelchair, still exuding an undeniable aura of dominance, Zara paused for a moment before smiling. "Mr. Voss, I must say, I'm truly flattered."Magnus maneuvered his wheelchair closer, his deep, piercing black eyes locked onto her face, as radiant as the moon surrounded by stars. "You look very much like my ex-wife. When I see you, it's as if I'm seeing her again. I want you to stay by my side. I can give you anything you desire."Zara's expression darkened slightly as she arched a brow, her tone turning cold. "And what do you take me for? A mere substitute to fill your emptiness?"The bodyguard beside him spoke emotionlessly, issuing a veiled warning. "Miss Skye, you work in this industry—you should know our boss’s influence. He decides who rises and who gets blacklisted with just a snap of his fingers.""Magnus Voss, do you really think you can control everything?" Zara shot him a sharp, defiant glance. "

    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.

    “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!
