Steven gave her a quick look, tilted her chin up, and squinted. "Are you afraid?"Eloise shrugged off his touch and turned away, refusing to meet his gaze.Steven's hand fell away, and he flashed a grin as if he was pleased with himself. "Maybe this isn't such a bad way to start!""The report's here!"Sean burst in with the final report in hand, finding Steven and Eloise sitting in a tense silence that hung oddly in the air.Sean's eyebrows shot up as he caught the edge of nervousness in Eloise's voice. With a reassuring chuckle, he said, "Worried about the bone marrow match, little firecracker? Usually, for non-biological mothers and daughters, the chances of a match are slim to none. But who would've thought? Your match with Aunt Nancy is through the roof! It's a tad below Tania's, but it's more than half. That's really good.""So, you're saying I can be a donor for my aunt?" Eloise's face lit up with the news. Saving a life was no small thing, and once she understood her conne

The car cruised smoothly to the Five Elements Residence. Peter cradled Tania in his arms with utmost care as they stepped out.Zara caught sight of them and rushed over, concern etched on her face. "Mr. Lennon, what's wrong with Mrs. Lennon?""Shh," Peter whispered, signaling Zara to keep it down so as not to wake Tania. "Tania's been down because of Mom's sickness. Let her sleep."Zara nodded, her expression softening with pity. "The poor thing."Peter carried Tania upstairs with gentle steps and eased her onto the bed. He then stripped down to his pajamas, slipped under the covers, and wrapped his arms around her.Tania had not realized how much she needed sleep until she woke up feeling refreshed and cozy. As her eyes landed on the man beside her, she paused, her fingers hovering over Peter's chiseled face. Her hand trembled slightly.She continued to gaze at him, the corners of her mouth twitching into a faint smile before she let out a soft sigh.Peter's eyes snapped open,

"Yeah, let's get Uncle Peter back!" Jamie agreed, convinced that Peter was their only hope to turn Lennon Group around.Xylos was not so sure. "What's your opinion, Jack?"Jack had been out of it lately, but he looked up with a smirk at Xylos's question. "Didn't Dad already decide? The guy you originally wanted for the job was Peter, right?" "Jack, h-how can you say that?"Jack smirked again. "Check this out, everyone." He slid the documents he had in front of him over to Xylos and the rest of the shareholders, then fixed Xylos with a hard stare. "Dad, do you see what I'm seeing?""What? No way. That can't be right!" Xylos's eyes popped wide open as he gaped at the document in his hands.The other shareholders, catching Xylos's look of shock, quickly flipped through their own papers. As they scanned the shocking info, their faces twisted in disbelief. "What the heck? Nexus Group belongs to Peter? How's that even possible? He's been all in on running Lennon Group. How could he ha

"Boss, Jack's gone and got Lyndhurst Company from Carvonia to throw some cash at the Lennon family biz. What's your opinion on this?""The last thing we need is for him to sit on his hands!" Peter shot Ronald a look. "What does Charles think?""Mr. Hoffman told me to stick with you for now."Peter cracked a smile. "No need to shadow me. I've got nothing for you to do at the moment!" He waved Ronald off and passed a file to Charles. "Lareal's over in Cascade City. Maybe you could swing by and give him a hand if you're free.""And what about Lennon Group?""In less than a week, Lennon Group will be facing a major shake-up, and I'm going to be the one to make it happen!""Alright, if that's everything, I'll head out," Ronald said, knowing his mission there was done. Peter did not need his help, so it was time to report back to Charles. When Ronald relayed the message, Charles squinted thoughtfully. "He said that, did he?""Yep, that's exactly what he said. He's going to turn Lennon

Meanwhile, Jack had hit a snag. Out of the blue, Lyndhurst Company reneged on their deal with Lennon Group and decided to partner with Peter instead. That did not just blindside Jack, but Xylos was even more taken aback.Before anyone could fully grasp the situation, Peter had Lennon Group snugly in his pocket, and nobody could figure out how he pulled it off.That same day, Jack vanished into thin air, leaving the Lennon family in utter disarray. The following day, Xylos received an envelope sealed in yellow. Inside was a secret about the Lennon family that had been buried for over thirty years, revealing the truth about the death of Xylos's eldest son and Ari’s father, Jeff Lennon.Reeling from the revelation, Xylos suffered a stroke and ended up in the hospital. From that point on, it seemed the Lennon family's fortunes took a turn for the worse.Jamie's eyes were glued to the document that Xylos had carelessly left on the study floor, and he was completely taken aback. "Jamie

"You... you teamed up with Peter?" Xylos finally managed to spit out the words after a long pause. "You...""Exactly. There's a saying, 'Only the smart ones get the time.' Jack's got skills, but he's nothing next to Peter. Why else would he wait all this time to get even, only to fall apart the second Peter lifted a finger?"Got more questions? Wondering where Jack's disappeared to, aren't you?" Jamie inched closer, a smirk on his face. "Don't worry, he won't ditch Brookville until he's seen the last of you. He'll pop up soon enough—just you wait."With those words, Jamie spun on his heel and left, leaving Xylos by himself in the sterile quiet of the hospital room. He tried to rise, but his body refused to cooperate.Silence enveloped the room again. Xylos yanked off his oxygen mask and made another attempt to get up, but crashed back down with a thud.Then, a pair of sleek, good-looking hands appeared before Xylos. He picked up the discarded oxygen mask and gave Xylos a once-over

Jack gave her a sidelong glance, his eyes as sharp as ice. "What do you think?"Ari stumbled backward, her heart refusing to accept it. "You've been lying to me all these years? All for some twisted revenge against the Lennon family?" She could not wrap her head around it. "However, why? You're one of them, a Lennon. Why would you turn against your own family?""A Lennon?" Jack snorted with disdain. "The very thing I despise most is the Lennon blood coursing through my veins." His gaze was icy as he stared at her down. "Come on, Ari, you're over forty and still so gullible. Did you really think I could ever love you?""I...""The fact that you've got Lennon blood, Jeff's blood, means I could never love you. Not in a million years!""No... I'm not their real daughter, I'm not!" Ari protested, desperation in her voice. "Jack, we're not related by blood. If you don't believe me, just ask Grandpa, he'll tell you—Grandpa..." Her voice broke off, her whole body quivering with emotion, f

"But he's Peter's son," Jack said, gripping his phone tightly and taking a deep breath. "I'm waiting for you at the place where we first met. I'll wait as long as it takes. I imagine you're aware that the virus dormant in your bodies could activate at any time. You might not care about yourself, but what about Brandon?"Tania gasped, her eyes widening in shock. As she clutched her phone with both hands, she gritted her teeth. "Wait for me. As soon as my mother's surgery is over, I'll come right away!"Jack narrowed his eyes. "Tania, I can't wait that long. I'm giving you one hour. If you don't arrive within an hour, I'll leave...""Jack... Please wait for me! I'm coming right now!" Tania hurriedly called out, truly afraid he would leave. She was even more terrified that everything he said might be true.If Brandon had also been injected with the virus... Tania's face turned pale at the thought. Her mind could not process any more. She could only try to appease Jack. "I'm coming rig

Liliana's piercing scream echoed through the empty underground parking lot. However, there was no one to hear her and no one to witness what was happening to her at that moment.

However, he only held her tighter.Her fragile body was trapped beneath him, moving in rhythm with his relentless force. She had no idea when it would end.Sean, lost in his own haze, was consumed by the warmth surrounding him. The way her body clenched around him only drove him further into his intoxicated madness. It was not until Liliana's voice had gone completely hoarse that he finally reached his release.Liliana blacked out from exhaustion, and eventually, Sean, too, drifted into a deep sleep while still holding onto her.The night had descended upon her so suddenly, like a storm Liliana never saw coming.When Liliana

The distance was not far, but dragging Sean along had drained nearly all of Liliana's strength. She panted, struggling to keep him upright. "Sean, where are we supposed to go now?"The only response she got was a muffled groan. His body temperature seemed to be rising by the second.Liliana, already struggling under his weight, instinctively reached out and touched his face, only to find it scorching hot. Panic gripped her."Sean!"With no other options, she half-carried, half-dragged him toward the parking lot and finally located his car. Summoning every ounce of strength, she managed to haul him inside, planning to let him sleep it off until he sobered up.After securing him in the seat, she grabbed a bottle of water and began wiping his face. Just as she was about to relax, Sean, who had been completely still moments ago, suddenly stirred.He half-opened his eyes, his gaze locking on Liliana's face. Under the dim car light, her features appeared softer, more delicate.Then, o

"No, we can't stay. Let's go separately. I'll walk you to the entrance!"Liliana told Tania that her family had forbidden her from coming to places like this. She hailed a cab and sent Tania off first.She returned alone, but she had no idea which private room Sean was in. She only knew it was somewhere on the third floor, but the exact location was a mystery.As she anxiously searched for him, she spotted one of Sean's friends coming down the stairs with Joanna following closely behind.At the staircase, Joanna stopped to bid farewell. "Thank you, dude… I…""Go on! Good luck!"The man glanced at Joanna before brushing past Liliana and leaving.Liliana watched Joanna's retreating figure, then saw her head back upstairs. She followed her without hesitation.The server must have assumed she was with Joanna because he did not stop her.Liliana saw Joanna enter a private room, where only Sean and Joanna remained. The others were nowhere to be seen.Peering through the gap in the

"Huh? I'm not outside right now!" Liliana quickly covered the phone's mouthpiece. "I mean... I'm at a classmate's house. Is there something you need, Sean?"She asked the question while glancing nervously around. Spotting Tania trying to slip away, she hurried over to grab her."Tania...""Liliana, I still want more to drink!""Where are you?" Sean's voice came through, and another girl's voice was in the background. "Are you guys drinking?""I...""Do you realize you're not old enough to drink? And it's so late now. You should be at home, not out drinking!" Sean sounded serious, and Liliana almost lost her cool. "No, Sean, I...""Where are you? I'm coming to get you!"Liliana quickly shook her head, even though Sean could not see. "There’s no need for that, Sean. I'm just at a friend's house. She's... She's having a birthday party, and I...""Another birthday party? Didn't she just have one?" Sean remembered clearly. "Tell me where you are.""I... Sean, I've got to go. I can

Tania's ruckus drew the attention of several onlookers.Worried about bumping into someone they knew, Liliana quickly ushered Tania away. They had barely made it to the staircase when a melodious voice floated in from behind, "Sean, we owe our fun at The Majestic Lounge to your popularity!""There's no need for that!"Liliana froze, steadying Tania with one hand and leaning on the wall with the other, using Tania's body as a shield. That was when she spotted Sean with an elegant-looking girl in a pale pink dress.They appeared quite close, the girl chatting away and gazing at Sean.Sean was leaning in, listening intently to her words.A few guys were trailing behind them, and upon hearing the girl, they joked, "Hey Joanna, why are you just thanking Sean? What about us?"Liliana's heart raced as Sean and his companions neared. As Sean approached, she quickly grabbed Tania's hand, using it to hide her face.Liliana’s sharp tug gave Tania a twinge of pain. She began to grumble, "L

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
