Charles took the paper and glanced at it, his brows furrowing together. "Are you sure?"Sean replied, "Don't you trust me? I tested it myself. So, you need to be careful, and keep an eye on your wife.""Yes. I understand," Charles nodded, putting away the test results. "Since you're here, stay for dinner.""Of course."The two friends went downstairs together, and they could hear the pleasant laughter of the three women in the living room. Charles' lips curled into a warm smile.Sean glanced at Charles and chuckled. "You're definitely smitten."Charles shot him a look. "Don't want dinner anymore?"Sean shrugged helplessly. "I'm just joking. No need to be so serious!"Noelle and Rowena were reminiscing about their school days, sharing embarrassing stories from when they were classmates and dorm mates. They knew each other inside out."What are you lovely ladies talking about?" Sean walked over, smiling harmlessly.Noelle stopped laughing and greeted him, "Mr. Smith.""No need

Noelle entered the kitchen and saw Charles busy cooking. She stood at the door for a while. Sensing her presence, Charles paused and asked, "Why aren't you sitting with them?""We're all just sitting around while you're busy by yourself. Can you manage everything?" Noelle observed Charles for a bit, noticing his methodical approach to cooking. She watched for a while before asking, "Do you need any help?"Charles' movements hesitated slightly and then he nodded. "Check on the stew. I had it on high heat earlier. You can turn it down to a simmer now.""Okay!" Noelle walked over and took a sniff. "It smells great. What kind of stew is it?""Lamb stew," Charles replied after a moment. "You were drugged yesterday. There's probably still some residue in your system. Eating some stew will be good for you."Noelle smiled and nodded. "Alright. But what kind of drug did I take? I don't remember anything. And about Winter..." Noelle suddenly realized something had been bothering her all d

So, after several rounds, Rowena's face was covered with sticky notes while Teresa's and Sean's faces remained clean."Ugh, I don't want to play anymore! You're cheating!" Rowena threw her battered cards onto the table. "Why do I always lose? My cards were so good."Rowena glared at Sean, convinced he was cheating. Otherwise, how could she lose every round while Sean and Teresa never lost once? Teresa, who usually played just to make up the numbers in their dorm, was somehow playing better than her today.Rowena could not believe Teresa had suddenly become so skilled, so the only explanation was that Sean was using some trick to make her lose.Sean raised an eyebrow and smiled innocently at Rowena. "Ms. Rowena, that's an unfair accusation. I played fair and square. If your card skills aren't up to par, you can't blame me.""You..." Rowena gritted her teeth. "I'm done playing." She tore the sticky notes off her face. "I'm not playing anymore, okay?""Fine. A gentleman doesn't figh

Noelle took the phone with suspicion. After just one glance, her eyes widened in surprise. She read through it again, not quite believing it. "When did this happen?"It was no wonder Winter had not caused her any trouble today. She was dealing with her own mess."Just today," Rowena replied, shaking her head. "The entertainment industry is really wild. Scandals blow up in no time. Look, in just a few hours, Winter is plastered all over the front pages and is trending on Facebook and other platforms."Rowena sighed. "I didn't think Winter would get worse than we imagined.""Who leaked this?" Noelle asked, still shocked at the turn of events."I don't know. A lot of people on YouTube are talking about it. They say Winter offended a lot of people over roles and even sabotaged others. The entertainment world is so murky. Maybe it's one of those stars she wronged getting revenge," Rowena speculated, not really caring who was behind it as long as Winter got what was coming to her.Noel

With those online revelations, Winter found herself under a barrage of attacks from fans and keyboard warriors. Some expressed deep disappointment in her while others were furious because their own idols had been secretly sabotaged by her.Several producers and directors associated with Winter remained collectively silent. Reporters tried to reach them but were met with various excuses, pushing Winter further into the eye of the storm.The entertainment industry had always been a place where the ones at the top were praised and the ones at the bottom were trampled upon. In response to the scandal, Winter's management company launched an emergency public relations campaign, insisting that she had been framed and that the allegations were untrue.However, just a day after the PR statement was released, a small magazine leaked some risqué photos of Winter. In the photos, she appeared to be only 17 or 18. It was when she had just entered the entertainment industry.This release rendere

Winter threw herself into Jade's arms, feeling aggrieved. "I worked so hard to become a big star admired by everyone. I don't want my career to end here. Mom, please help me!"She clung to Jade's sleeve. "Mom, haven't you always been the best to me? You must have a way to help, right?"Jade frowned. What could she do? She had no power or influence. She only relied on the Shaw family. Yet now that this scandal had broken out, the other members of the Shaw family would definitely have their objections, making it difficult to resolve.Seeing Jade's hesitant expression, Winter felt even more disappointed. "Mom, do you not love me anymore? Are you just going to stand by and watch me be ruined like this?""Of course not! How could I not love you?" Jade hugged Winter, gently patting her shoulder. "You're my only daughter. Who else would I care for if not you? There's a way to solve this, but...""But what?" Winter urgently grasped Jade's hand while biting her lip. "Mom, you have a way,

Winter immediately perked up, but thinking about Charles' previous attitude toward her, she wilted again. "But that Charles guy is really annoying. He...""Do you want to make this right or not?" Jade said sternly. "If you still want to stay in the entertainment industry, you can't be so arrogant. Besides, if the Shaw family can get close to Charles, your father wouldn't need to rely on the York family."Jade thought about the last time when Noelle, that wretched woman, disappeared again for some reason. Although Simon did not say anything about pursuing it, the York family clearly stated they would not cooperate with the Shaw family anymore.With the York family saying that, who in Brookville would dare to take the initiative to work with the Shaw family?Recently, Julian was busy to the point of being overwhelmed, and Jade was extremely angry, blaming everything on Noelle. If it were not for Winter's sudden trouble, Jade would definitely have gone to find trouble with Noelle.Wi

Winter had a good treatment session and then called Xavier. Lately, Xavier had been overwhelmed with work, and Winter's recent scandal had negatively impacted the Harris family. Even though their family was small, the internal personnel were complicated. Xavier's father, Joseph, had managed to climb up with great difficulty. However, Winter's scandal had caused both him and his father to face criticism from the Hoffman family as well. Xavier felt embarrassed and could not easily counter the comparisons between himself and Charles, the head of the Hoffman family.Despite his exhaustion, Xavier followed his father's instructions to visit Winter. However, Winter had refused to see him. With his pride, Xavier decided to let it be.He had not expected Winter to call him today. Staring at the phone for a while, he finally answered. "Hello.""Xavier, are you busy?" Winter's voice sounded slightly cheerful. Xavier raised his eyebrows, feeling surprised. "Yes, I am busy. What's up?"Win

Tania opened her mouth, momentarily stunned by the hostile air radiating off of Sean. Though she was not sure why he was acting so violently, she was the first to snap out of it.She stepped in front of him. "Sean, now's not the time to waste on her. We don't even know what's happened to Liliana yet."Sean finally released Joanna and gave a slight nod. "Let's go."The moment Sean let go of Joanna's wrist with visible disgust, Tania pulled a handkerchief from her pocket and wiped her hand as if she had touched something filthy. Then, she tossed the handkerchief aside.Her eyes swept over Joanna's pale, shell-shocked face. With a slight smirk, unreadable in its intent, she gave Joanna one last glance before catching up to Sean.As for what Joanna had just said, Tania did feel some doubt, but she was sharp enough to know she would not get anything worthwhile out of Joanna.Once she got in Sean's car, she turned to him. "There's something you're not telling me, isn't there?"Sean di

"Sean, you've gone too far."Lennox could not hold it in anymore. "Joanna just likes you. If you don't feel the same, you could've just rejected her."Sean let out a cold snort. "If that worked, do you think she'd still be here? With a brain like that, some people are destined to be pets their entire lives."His words were harsh and unforgiving. "Just because my mother likes pets doesn't mean I do. Joanna, take care of yourself."Joanna bit down hard on her lower lip. "Sean, how can you say that? That's not what I meant. I just—""Enough. I'm not interested in hearing your nonsense."Tania glanced at Joanna and grinned, which only made Joanna's resentful gaze land sharply on her. Tania raised her brows, about to retort, but her phone suddenly rang. She reached into her bag, saw that it was Liliana's number, and quickly answered. "What's wrong, Liliana?""Tania, help me.""What happened, Liliana? Where are you?"Tania's expression changed instantly. "Hang on, I'm coming right n

"Sean, you misunderstood. I'm not after any of that… I just… I just like you!"Joanna, humiliated in front of everyone by Sean and Tania, could hardly bear the embarrassment. With so many familiar faces watching, the sting cut even deeper.She bit down on her lower lip, her hands clenching tightly into fists. To some, like Lennox and the others, she looked pitiful—like someone others might feel sorry for. However, her performance did nothing for Sean and Tania.Lennox suddenly spoke up. "Hey, I know your family's rich, Sean, but that doesn't mean you get to humiliate someone like this! Yeah, sure, Joanna likes you—but is it wrong to like someone?"Sean frowned slightly and raised his head to glance at Lennox. He did not say a word, but Lennox immediately took a step back, instinctively swallowing hard.Damn, he was a grown man, and he actually flinched at Sean's stare.Scared into silence, Lennox said nothing more. Neither did anyone else.Edgard, ever the smart one, had known f

"Wait, that's not right." Tania suddenly clapped her thigh as if something just occurred to her. "We haven't gone that long without seeing each other, have we, Joanna? Wasn't it just the other day at the mall? We were shopping for clothes together."Tania reminded her casually, but Joanna's face turned pale instantly. She subconsciously clenched the hem of her blouse. Her expression grew tense, and inwardly, she panicked. She was terrified that Tania might blurt out what happened that day.She instinctively glanced at Sean, only to realize he was not even looking at her.Joanna felt an ache in her chest. Why would Sean not look at her? From the moment he arrived until now, he had not spared her a single glance.Even now, with Tania deliberately bringing her into the conversation, Sean never once turned his eyes toward her. That cold neglect left her feeling completely defeated.Thinking back to the shopping trip, she had said a lot of suggestive things in front of her colleague.

"He's not here yet!" Tania huffed the moment Peter was mentioned. "He dragged me out here, and now, he's the one who has disappeared."As she spoke, her gaze shifted to Sean. "But you... what are you doing here?"She glanced behind him, and the moment she caught sight of Joanna, she gave a meaningful, knowing smile.Sean frowned slightly. He had always suspected Tania was not as sweet as she appeared, and ever since she got together with Peter, he could see she had begun to resemble him in more ways than one. That sharp wit, that sense of mischief—it was all starting to show.Sean pinched the bridge of his nose. "A med school classmate came back from overseas. We're just getting together."Tania let out a long hum, the kind that dragged out like she was chewing on the syllable.She stepped forward and patted Sean's shoulder. A wave of gasps rippled around them. Even the floor manager of The Majestic Lounge looked over at Tania in surprise.Though Tania had been there a few times

"What's going on?"Sean frowned and looked toward the doorway. The person who had pushed the door open was the floor manager of The Majestic Lounge.Hearing Sean's question, the manager, Aidan Bonds, immediately wiped the sweat from his forehead and stammered, "I-It's nothing, really… It's just a small commotion. The matter's already been taken care of. Actually…"Before Aidan could finish, voices shouting outside reached Sean's ears. Vulgar and crude insults filled the hallway.Although The Majestic Lounge was open for business and technically did not turn away paying customers, it was a high-end club. Normally, people with low manners were not even allowed inside.The moment Sean heard the voices, a cold gleam flashed through his previously calm, harmless expression. And then came a woman's voice, sounding sharp and familiar.Sean's expression darkened. Without another word, he stood and quickly left the room.At that moment, Tania was outside in a shouting match. Though both

Jayla's smile stiffened for a moment, but she quickly recovered. "Congratulations to you both.""Thanks!"Edgard glanced briefly at Jayla, then casually shifted his gaze away. He looked around the room. "Where's Sean?""He hasn't arrived yet!" Lennox couldn't help chiming in. "The man's always busy nowadays. You see this private room at The Majestic Lounge? It costs tens of thousands of dollars just to reserve it. We heard it's a VIP room, and apparently, there's even a Supreme VIP level. Can you imagine how luxurious that must be?"There was a hint of envy in Lennox's tone, though he was mostly just teasing.Edgard chuckled. "He's always been impressive. You guys know that better than anyone."He did not seem to care much and pulled Adelaide into a seat beside him.Although everyone had gone separate ways over the years and some had not seen each other in a long time, they were still classmates from the same major, so conversation came easily.Sean arrived later, stepping in d

Joanna had been on edge for quite some time, especially after discovering that Sean's contact list included Liliana. He had even saved her name under a rather affectionate nickname, no less. The sight alone had ignited her fury, sending her spiraling into jealousy.Then came Tania's provocation not long ago, where she had even exposed the illusions Joanna had carefully crafted in front of her colleagues. To make it worse, Tania had said she was taking Liliana to dinner with Sean.From that moment on, Joanna had regarded Liliana as a thorn in her side—even though Liliana had not actually done anything.Yet now that she knew Liliana had a boyfriend—and was even pregnant—Joanna felt like the sun had come out after weeks of rain. Even strangers on the street seemed unusually friendly.The dinner party to welcome Edgard back was set at The Majestic Lounge. The private room had actually been reserved by Sean himself.Originally, Sean had no plans to attend. He did not have particularly

"Oh, her? Just a patient. Why?" Jayla glanced at Joanna, who was still looking outside, even though the person had already left. "You know her?"Joanna smiled. "I think so. She looked familiar."She thought for a moment. Maybe not? Could she have mistaken her? Why would Liliana come to a place like the obstetrics and gynecology department?"What's her name?"Jayla raised an eyebrow. "Why? Trying to snoop on a patient's privacy?"Her tone was half-joking. Joanna did not take it to heart and laughed it off. "She's a student from Vista University too. I'm not sure if you remember her. I interacted with her once during the freshman orientation. Her name is... Liliana.""Liliana?" Jayla was surprised. Her impression of Liliana was still quite vivid, so she was a bit shocked. "She's really a student from our university?""Yeah. But we're not from the same faculty. You're such a model student, always focused on studying, so I wouldn't expect you to know her. You know me, though. I like
