Luca was taken aback. “What’s so uncomfortable about that?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Vanessa shot him an eye-roll, silencing him instantly.

Luca replied awkwardly, “Well… I still have to attend the meeting. I’ll try my best not to look at you.”

Vanessa wasn’t sure how much ‘trying’ that meant, as Luca continued to stare at her throughout the meeting.

Vanessa could only do her best to ignore the intense gaze, focusing on the meeting materials instead. However, due to her nerves, she stumbled over her words a few times while speaking, leaving her feeling flustered, but there was nothing she could do about Luca.

Meanwhile, Mariah and Cassandra arrived at the agreed location.

In front of the elegant Japanese restaurant, a young man in a suit had been waiting f

    Vanessa's private elevator had some issues, so she ended up sharing the same elevator with the staff. She didn’t expect to overhear such explosive content and perked up her ears to listen closely to the conversation between two employees in front of her.“Ah, come on, it’s hard to define something like this,” one said hesitantly.Hearing the doubt in the other’s voice, the first person got anxious. “How could I possibly be mistaken? It’s that actress who has been coming to our company often. I bumped into her at a restaurant once, and the way they interacted felt overly intimate.”“No wonder Mariah is cold toward every man. There were a few guys in our department who wanted to pursue her, but she outright rejected them,” the other employee replied.Finally grasping the situation, Vanessa felt a bit surprised.Recently, Cassandra had been coming here frequently.

    “Vanessa, stop acting so smug in front of me. You won’t be able to take Luca away from me—just like you couldn’t five years ago, and just like you won’t now. From the beginning to the end, Luca belongs only to me.”Beatriz’s eyes blazed with anger as she stared at Vanessa, making no effort to conceal the hatred in her gaze.“Oh? Can’t take him away?” Vanessa sneered, deliberately fanning the flames. “Then what exactly are you doing now?”“You bitch.”Beatriz was truly enraged. She raised her hand high, ready to slap Vanessa, but before she could strike, Vanessa caught her wrist mid-air.There was no way she’d take that slap for nothing. Watching Beatriz fume in helpless anger, Vanessa felt a twisted sense of satisfaction rise in her chest.But this wasn’t nearly enough. Not even close.

    However, while Vanessa had planted some spies in the Ness branch, the manpower was still insufficient. She feared being discovered by Beatriz’s people the moment she stepped outside.After much consideration, Vanessa had no choice but to employ a clever ruse, swapping clothes with one of her subordinates. She had her subordinate disguise themselves as her and rushed out in a hurry.Sure enough, Beatriz’s underlings were completely deceived by this trick, focusing intently on Vanessa's subordinate.Taking advantage of this distraction, Vanessa managed to escape with the help of her aide.Beatriz, still under Raymond's control, could only watch helplessly as the scene unfolded, unable to warn her subordinates.

    Five years ago, Beatriz bribed a doctor and provided Luca with a fake pregnancy test report. Meanwhile, she played the role of a confidante by Luca's side, offering him suggestions.At that time, Luca's feelings for Vanessa were still unclear, but he didn’t want any accidents to befall her, which ultimately led him to fall into Beatriz’s trap.Vanessa looked at the man in front of her, who kept apologizing, and it would be a lie to say she felt no sympathy.After all, he was the man she had admired for many years and had also hated for five.Yet, Vanessa felt deeply moved.Did he even realize that because of one of his actions back then, their child had nearly lost its innocent life?Vanessa couldn’t shake off the feeling that forgiving him too easily would be unfair, yet she also thought that ultimately, what had happened was not entirely his fault.

    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.Perhaps, rather than love, what Luca felt for her was more akin to guilt.Just then, Mariah's phone call interrupted her thoughts, causing Vanessa to pause before hastily answering.“Vane

    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.

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.

    The road was a chaotic scene as a world-class luxury car sped recklessly, weaving through traffic at a breakneck pace. 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.

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.

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.
