"Pete, come back. You haven't seen Jack in years." Xylos sighed after saying this. "I heard… that woman has also returned?"Peter looked up, meeting Tania's gaze with a smirk on his face. "Are you talking about Tania, Grandpa?" he asked with a raised brow. "Did Jamie tell you, or was it Uncle Jack?""Your Uncle Jack? How could he… What do you mean?"Peter interrupted, "Since you're so keen on me returning, then I'll come back. I'll even bring you a grand gift!"Peter hung up, casting a complex glance at Tania.The moment she met his eyes, Tania's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously tightened her grip on Brandon's hand. Peter's gaze was… intense.Peter walked over, crouched down, and gently patted Brandon's head. Noticing he was sweating, Peter took a towel and wiped his forehead. "Bran, let's call it a day, alright?""But…" Brandon hesitated, looking at Tania. Then, with a sigh of understanding, he nodded. "Okay. Mr. Peter, will you bring me here again?""Of course. As

Peter dragged Tania toward the parking lot, but she immediately shook off his hand. "Enough. I told you I don't want to hear it, and I don't care about you and Riley anymore.""You—""Mom, are you mad? Don't be mad at Daddy, please." Brandon's soft voice interrupted. Tania froze, looking at Brandon with a complex expression.With innocent eyes, Brandon added, "Daddy is so nice. Please don't be angry with him."Not only Tania but even Peter was taken aback. "Brandon, what did you just call me?"Brandon lowered his head shyly, his little fingers tapping together nervously. "Daddy! Don't you like it? But I really want you to be my dad!"Peter paused. "Yes, I like it… I love it!""Brandon!" Tania cried out. "He's not your father. He's… He's Mr. Peter… You can just think of him as your uncle."As soon as Tania said this, Peter's expression darkened. "Tania!" he said through gritted teeth. "Is this really what you're teaching our child?"Tania pressed her lips together. "His father

Charles raised an eyebrow, his captivating eyes locked on Noelle with a hint of amusement that was almost dazzling.Noelle felt overwhelmed by his gaze. Gently, he took her finger and wrapped it in his hand, giving it a soft squeeze as he spoke with warmth, "I've done far more shameless things before, so this doesn't count for much."Leaning closer, he propped one hand on the bench and slid his other arm around her waist, pulling her tightly against him. Their bodies pressed closely together, and Noelle felt her heartbeat quicken.As Charles' face drew near, she gulped nervously. She was holding her ice cream in one hand while attempting to push against his chest with the other. "Stop… Don't come so close!" Any nearer, and she felt she would barely be able to breathe—especially under the intensity of his gaze.Charles smirked. "Did you just call me shameless?""No, no… Y-You're pure as the breeze, noble and upright. Clearly, you're a gentleman who's far from shameless!" The mo

Tania froze for a moment. "Peter, you're a jerk!"Peter smirked. "If I'm a jerk, what does that make you?"Grinding her teeth, Tania shot him a fierce glare. "I've seen shameless people before, but never anyone this shameless!"Peter just kept smiling. "When we get back, feel free to ignore everyone. If they throw you any attitude, throw it right back. Whatever they do, do the opposite. If someone insults you, insult them back; if they try to start a fight, make sure you strike first!"As Peter drove, he gave these instructions to Tania with an air of seriousness. Initially, she had no intention of listening. However, with Peter's non-stop talking, she finally gave in. She felt exasperated. "Fine, I get it. Basically, you want me to oppose the Lennons and, if possible, annoy a few of them to death, right?"Peter narrowed his long eyes, and the corner of his mouth lifted. "Exactly. I have faith in your abilities."Tania scoffed. "Let me tell you, Peter. If your old man keels ove

Peter glanced at Tania's expression but did not say anything further.Half an hour later, Peter's car pulled up to the Lennon residence. The old butler, Lance Wagner, had stationed helpers outside to wait. When they saw Peter's car, one of them hurried back to announce, "Mr. Peter has returned!"Peter drove directly into the courtyard and was the first to step out. Lance approached him with a polite smile, "Mr. Peter, welcome back. It's quite the timing. Mr. Jack only returned a short while ago as well!"Peter smirked. "Is that so?" He walked to the back seat and opened the door. "Get out."The butler blinked in surprise, not expecting to see the woman stepping out next to Peter. His eyes widened as he called out, "M-Ms. Tania!"Tania stepped out, holding Brandon in her arms. She shifted uncomfortably, her arms tingling from holding him the entire drive.Noticing this, Peter took Brandon from her arms. Tania opened her mouth to protest, "Give him back to me."Peter glanced brief

Improper?Tania laughed. "Sir Lennon, after all these years, it's surprising that your insults are still so outdated. You're completely out of touch!""You—" Xylos, who was flustered and red-faced, pointed a trembling finger at Tania. "Y-You ill-mannered woman, you're unfit to even step through the Lennon residence's door!"Then, turning to Peter, he added, "Didn't you hear me? I told you to sever ties with this woman. You've been doing well for three years, but now that she's back, you've lost your mind! Pete, you've truly disappointed me."He cast a reproachful glare at Caleb and his wife. "Look at the son you raised!"The couple, bound by respect due to Xylos' age, said nothing, though they cast warning looks at Peter. However, Peter, who was ignoring them, simply smiled. "Tania is my wife, not some improper woman. Honestly, if it were up to me, I wouldn't have brought her here at all. But since you insisted, here we are.""You… Are you trying to kill me? Didn't you hear me

Xylos finally fainted for real. "Call a car, quickly! Lance!"Caleb and Ari rushed over, and the Lennons descended into chaos.As Ari passed by Tania, she cast a look of utter hatred. She was practically seething with the desire to tear her apart. She even raised her hand, attempting to slap Tania. "You wretched woman, you jinx!"However, Tania's gaze turned icy as she caught Ari's wrist in an iron grip, squeezing it firmly. "Wretched? Are you insulting yourself, Ari? Wait. Actually, I outrank you now. Aren't I basically your aunt now?""You… You…" Ari trembled with rage. She then cast a pleading look at Jack. "Uncle Jack, she…""Enough!"Peter grabbed Tania's hand and shoved Ari back, his intense gaze drilling into her. "Have you forgotten what I said? If anyone in the Lennons ever dared to touch Tania, I'd make you regret it.""Are you out of your mind?" Ari screamed. "Pete, I'm your sister! This wretched woman…""Tania is my wife, and I only have two family members—Tania a

"Love? Mr. Lennon, please don't joke with me. The only reason I got together with you was because Brandon needed a father, a complete family. There was never any real possibility for us!" Tania stated coldly."You saw it just now. Your father can't stand the sight of me. I practically send him into a fit every time he sees me. For his health, it's best if we end this relationship."With that, Tania shook off Peter's hand and strode out of the Lennon residence.Peter cast a cool glance at Jack and smirked. "Welcome back, Uncle Jack. Lennon Group is yours, and no one will take it from you."After delivering his message, Peter followed Tania out. Jack clenched his fists, his gaze dark and intense, brimming with fury as he stood away from the other Lennon family members. "Uncle Jack, Peter and Tania must be lying, right? You never married Tania, did you?" Ari asked, clinging to Jack's arm. Jack, however, shook her off in disgust. "You don't believe them, but do you doubt my words t

Liliana got ready. She was excited as she headed out. She had not seen Tania, who looked tanned from the sun and was full of energy, in a month.Tania waved to Liliana from far away. "Liliana, over here!"I'm going to take you to a cool place today!""Where?"Tania pulled Liliana close and whispered, "We're going to a bar!""A bar?" Liliana was curious. "What for?"Tania giggled. "A friend gave me this.” She showed off a shiny gold card. "He said it's time for me to see more of the world!"Liliana grabbed the shiny gold card, and her eyes widened in shock. "The Majestic Lounge?" She stared at Tania, puzzled. "How did you get this?"Not just anyone could get their hands on a gold card from The Majestic Lounge. Most people would not know anything about the place, but as Charles's sister, Liliana was in the know. The Majestic Lounge was one of Charles's private businesses and a secret to most outside the family. Layla had a gold card and often hung out there with her friends.Lil

Charles was unusually quiet for a moment, his finger pressed to his lips as if deep in thought. "Are you really ready to walk away from the Smith family's huge estate? You know your dad is the only one holding it up right now, and no one even knows where your fourth uncle is!""Why are you so worried about me? Don't forget I have a brother. If the Jones family won't make room for him, he can just join the Smith family!"While everyone else was trying to claim their piece of the pie, Sean was looking for a way out.Charles knew that once Sean made up his mind, he would not budge. "Alright, I'll look into it for you. Once you're sure, I'll help you seal the deal!""You take care of it," Sean said after a pause. "Aren't you going to check out the commotion downstairs?"Charles glanced down, pulling back his gaze. "Her feelings for you...""Let's not go there. I can't handle that," Sean interrupted, thinking about Layla's haughty behavior earlier and her rudeness toward Liliana. His

Liliana's brow creased slightly. She could not figure out why Layla always seemed to pick fights with her, even though she tried to stay out of Layla's way.Layla stared at Liliana with a sharp gaze. Noticing Liliana's hands were empty, she knew there was no gift for her. That was why Layla was giving Liliana a hard time.Everyone was watching Liliana, and Layla was eager to see how she would handle the situation."Is today your birthday?"Liliana felt awkward with all eyes on her. She glanced at Sean and saw he was not going to step in. She took a deep breath and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know. You never told me, so I thought your birthday was a few days away!""You..." Layla was taken aback by Liliana's response. She scowled. "Didn't you come back just today before leaving again? I thought you were getting me a birthday present!" Layla bit her lip, looking sad. "You and Sean...""It was just a coincidence. Sean said he needed to talk to Charles, and I didn't realize it was for

The cool kids from Jadebrook High School, the elegant daughters of high society, and many others were all in attendance.

Liliana tensed up immediately. "Sean... I can walk on my own!" She pulled her hand away from Sean's grasp.Sean paused, a thought seeming to cross his mind, and a slight smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. "Let's go!" Once they were in the car, Liliana tried to make herself as small as possible. Sean was driving, and she kept her head down, either fiddling with her phone or twiddling her fingers, avoiding conversation.Sean noticed Liliana's preoccupation with her phone and teased, "What's up? Is your phone more interesting than me?"Liliana looked up instinctively and met Sean's gaze. She froze, her eyes locked on his. At that moment, her heart felt like it was about to burst. The sensation was completely overwhelming.She just stared at Sean, unable to move.Sean caught her gaze and felt an odd sensation in his chest. He raised an eyebrow. "What's the matter? Are you amazed? Have you finally figured out I'm more handsome than your phone?""Uh…" Liliana stuttered with a n

Sean nodded, his gaze falling on Liliana.He had not gotten a good look at her clothes from afar. Seeing her now in blue jeans and a white shirt, he realized how simple yet stunning she looked.He could not believe how tall and pretty she had gotten at such a young age.Sean looked away. "Time to get up?""Oh!" Liliana nodded. However, maybe because she had been squatting too long, her legs were all tingly and she lost her balance when she tried to stand, falling backward.Quick as a flash, Sean caught her hand and yanked her toward him, and she ended up crashing right into his arms.The sudden jolt left Liliana dazed. Her head was against Sean's chest, and she could hear his heartbeat while her own heart started to beat wildly.Her face was pressed against him, so Sean could not see how red her cheeks had become.She was frozen, too scared to move. At that moment, she understood something very clearly... She probably liked the guy in front of her. The boy who had saved her the

"Alright. Have fun with your friends, and don't come home too late," Sean said before hanging up. Liliana's heart started to beat faster for some reason, and she could still hear Sean's voice in her ears, as if he were right there with her.She kept staring at Sean, who was still standing there. It looked like a girl had walked up to him.Liliana could not see very clearly, but she could see a girl in a pink dress with long hair standing next to Sean. She did not catch what they were saying, but Sean looked really happy.Suddenly, Liliana felt a soft pain, a sharp twinge in her heart.It was so quick and elusive that she could not figure out what she was feeling."What's wrong?" Tania asked, noticing Liliana seemed upset after her phone call. She kept staring into space. Tania looked around but saw nothing. She waved her hand in front of Liliana's face. "Liliana?"Liliana came back to the present with a forced smile. "Tania, didn't you say you'd take me out for a big birthday din

Tania's face went pale when she heard that. "No way!"Tania was still young and did not really get all that lovey-dovey stuff. She just thought Brian was nicer to her than her other friends. With a puzzled look, Tania scratched her head. "Maybe he just thinks I'm... cute?"Liliana shook her head. "Don’t you know? Him giving you a watch means he likes you.""Really?" Tania jumped. "Liliana, you're not joking, right? I'm just a kid, and I've always seen him as a big brother." Suddenly, the watch felt like a hot potato in Tania's hands, and she quickly snapped it shut. "What should I do now?"Liliana threw up her hands. "I have no idea!"She had never been in this kind of situation before and did not know what to do."So..."Tania did not get to finish because Liliana's phone started ringing. She stopped, pulled out her phone, and looked at the caller ID with a surprised face. With Tania watching, she answered, "Hello?"Sean was on the line, frowning. He asked, "Are you at the Wor

"Brian? You're back?" Tania paused, smiling at Brian. "What brings you home today?"If Tania was not mistaken, was Brian not supposed to be at college in another town?Brian's heart raced as Tania spoke, and his cheeks flushed a light pink. He looked at her and said, "Um... I actually got back a few days ago.""Oh, was it something urgent?" Tania asked, nodding without suspicion.Brian felt his pulse quicken. "Um... I heard today's your birthday?"Tania paused, then cocked her head and smiled at Brian. "Yes. I'm surprised you remembered my birthday!""Happy Birthday!" Brian blurted out. He pulled out a box from behind and handed it to her. "For you."Tania took the box, a little unsure at first, but quickly smiled. "Thanks so much, Brian!"Seeing Tania's sweet smile, Brian's heart skipped a beat, his rhythm all over the place. "No problem!""I've got to go now, Brian." Tania waved, tucked Brian's gift into her bag, and hopped away with a spring in her step.Liliana had arrang
