"Mr. Carter, do you have any ideal criteria for a woman? Do you think ... I deserve to be your life partner?"

A young woman dressed provocatively with a daring neckline gave Mark Carter an audacious stare. As Regis' assistant, Mark had maintained a neutral expression, his eyes scrutinizing the blind date candidate in front of him.

He could tell she was seeking his attention, throwing flirtatious smiles his way. However, Mark remained unmoved by her attempts.

"I don't have any specific criteria, Miss Clarkson. I'm simply looking for someone who can mutually benefit both parties," Mark replied, straightforward about his intentions in attending the blind date event.

"Oh really? I admire men with principles. I think ... you might be the ideal man I've been looking for, Mr. Carter," she said, her tone teasing.

Her hand reached for one of Mark's hands casually resting on the cafe table

    "You're ten minutes late from our appointment time, Miss Lysander."A middle-aged man glanced at his expensive watch and then looked at Amora, who had just landed herself on the plush sofa directly across from him.A luxurious red rose was pinned to the man's suit lapel. It was intentionally prepared so his blind date, Amora Lysander, could recognize him.Amora immediately met the man's gaze, noticing his subtly emotional expression toward her. His tone of voice carried a hint of sarcasm."I apologize for keeping you waiting, Sir," Amora reluctantly admitted her fault.Amora knew her lateness was worthy of criticism, but she had never intended to honor this blind date from the start. If not for the thought of the penalty she'd incur from her matchmaking partner, she wouldn't have shown up at the café.Earlier, Amora had intended to ask Emma Adams and her son about this matchmaking issue. However, she didn't have enough time to return home.With a heavy heart, Amora met the stranger wh

    Shock!That one word perfectly described the expression on Amora's face at the moment. She truly hadn't expected to run into the man she least wanted to see.Regis Lorenzo suddenly interrupted her blind date and called her "Honey". Of course, this made Amora wonder.'Is he crazy? Why is he calling me that?'Amora could only grumble hysterically in her heart because she didn't want to embarrass herself. She still thought maybe Regis had a slip of the tongue and accidentally called her that."It seems you've mistaken me for someone else, Sir," Amora said, trying to correct Regis' mistake.Unfortunately, Amora never expected Regis to smile unapologetically and say, "Are you still mad at me, Honey? I'm sorry for canceling our date yesterday.""What?" Amora was again astonished.Before she could question her confusion, Regis had already spoken to the man sitting across from her.Felix's face was just as shocked as Amora's."Felix Wright, I didn't expect to meet you here. It's quite a coinc

    Amora’s chest was rising and falling rapidly. She struggled to keep up with Regis’s pace as he walked ahead, still gripping her wrist tightly as if afraid she’d run away if he let go.“Sir, stop! It looks like he’s not chasing us anymore,” Amora said, panting heavily.Amora glanced back and saw that Felix Wright wasn’t following them as she had feared. She figured there was no need to keep running, especially after Regis’s threats.However, Regis kept walking and pulling Amora along. She had hoped he would let her go.“Sir!” Amora called out louder than before, her breath coming in gasps as she tried to match Regis’s stride.Finally, Regis slowed down and stopped. They were now in a parking lot with a shiny, luxurious car parked nearby. Amora guessed it belonged to him.“Please let go of

    "What do you want?"Amora asked Regis directly, without any preamble. She didn’t intend to lie to him about her identity anymore.Based on her research on the Lorenzo family through the internet, Amora knew that Regis had full power to easily obtain information if he wanted to. It wouldn't be wise to stick to her lies.Regis didn't answer Amora's question directly. Instead, he glanced at Mark, who had just exited the cafe.With just a brief glance, Mark understood what his boss meant. He took out his car keys, pressed a small button to turn off the car alarm, and unlocked the door.Regis smiled with satisfaction, then opened the back door of his car and said to Amora, inviting her inside, "Get in, Miss.""Why do we have to talk in the car?" Amora replied suspiciously.Regis shrugged nonchalantly. "No problem if you want to talk outside, but I don

    ‘So he remembers everything now? What should I do? Should I confess?’Amora bit her lip hard. She didn't know how to respond, except to admit everything she had seen seven years ago.But various negative perceptions filled her mind, doubling her fear.‘But what if... what if he kills me right here like he did back then?’The terrifying thought made Amora abandon her intention to confess. She didn't know how Regis would react to her admission. She worried he might get angry and involve Rayden."No need to be afraid, Miss Lysander. I want to discuss with you and ask a few questions about our beautiful memory that night," Regis said.Amora clenched her fists tightly. She was increasingly convinced that Regis remembered almost everything between them that night."Why? Don't tell me you have amnesia, Miss Lysander. I won't believe it. You know what happens if you lie to me."Regis subtly threatened Amora. He could see her deep hesitation. Although he wanted to know the truth from her lips,

    Regis suppressed his smile. Slowly, he released his grip from Amora's hand and jaw, then briefly wiped his wet lips."It seems your lips taste the same as before. But kissing you felt like kissing a porcupine. Too stiff and painful," teased Regis.Amora glared at him. She wanted to curse, but instead, she exhaled in frustration."What's wrong with admitting it, Miss Lysander? Is spending the night with me that humiliating for you, hm?"Amora decided not to respond to Regis's words and gently rubbed her wrists, which had reddened from his grip.Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Regis taking something out of his coat pocket, and then offering the shiny object to her."I suppose you haven't forgotten this, have you?" Regis asked confidently."That..."Amora bit her lip before replying, "I don't recognize it."

    “Do you think I don’t need to hold you accountable, Miss Lysander?”The deep, cold voice made Amora’s eyes widen. She didn’t expect Regis to say something so shameless.“What is there to hold me accountable for? Not reporting you to the authorities is already a kindness on my part. Plus, you took my virginity!” Amora retorted angrily.“You gave it to me, I didn’t take it without permission,” Regis corrected her.Amora’s hazel eyes widened again, then moved restlessly. She knew the man’s words were true, but at that time, she was under the influence of alcohol and aphrodisiacs, so she didn’t realize what she had done.“But, as a true gentleman, shouldn’t you have refrained from taking advantage like that?” Amora countered, irritated.“I’m not a hypocrite, Miss Lysander. Isn’t there no cat that would refuse when given a salted fish?” Regis’s remark made Amora’s face flush red with shock.She exhaled roughly several times. She was utterly exasperated dealing with Regis. She turned her fa

    Seeing that Amora had left his young master's car, Mark, who had been waiting by the car, finally decided to get in. He felt uneasy, worried he might face his boss’s anger after seeing Amora's sour expression as she left.Mark guessed that the two had just had a fierce argument.“Young Master,” Mark greeted as he took a seat behind the wheel.Regis’s closed eyes opened again. He only gave a slight nod to his assistant.Mark’s forehead wrinkled. He felt relieved that his previous concern did not happen, but he remained cautious.“What about Felix Wright?” Regis asked about the man who tried to deceive Amora earlier.“He seemed very shocked earlier, but I’ve already asked him to submit his resignation as soon as possible,” Mark replied.Regis sneered. “He underestimated my warning back then,” he said.The issue regarding Felix Wright had become a particular concern for Regis. Previously, he had received a report from one of his subordinates about Felix’s abuse of power in managing his n

    "Sit down." Amora's voice snapped Alicia out of her thoughts.Even though she was still reluctant to accept Amora as her sister-in-law, Alicia figured she might actually be useful to her."I want to hear your exciting story. It sounds interesting," Amora said, doubling Alicia's surprise.Alicia had expected Amora to enjoy seeing her get scolded by her brother, but strangely enough, it now felt like Amora was on her side.‘She’s such a weird woman!’ Alicia thought, unable to figure out her sister-in-law's way of thinking."I don't think you need to hear it, my dear wife. You’d probably be shocked if you knew what kind of chaos she caused at school today," Regis said with a smirk, his eyes briefly glancing at his sister."She must be here now to ask for my help cleaning up her mess," Regis added."I'm not," Alicia muttered with a pout."Yeah, sure," Regis scoffed, making Alicia's frown deepen.Amora looked back and forth between the siblings. She could tell Regis cared deeply for his si

    Regis ordered his secretary to leave the room, then invited Amora to sit inside his office's lounge area.Seeing the delicious food and drinks set for their lunch today, Amora thought the man must have been looking forward to this meal. Unfortunately, Alicia’s unexpected arrival threw everything off."Wow, are you celebrating something, Big Bro?" Alicia blurted out, clearly surprised by the luxurious spread before her.Just as she was about to settle onto the couch across from Amora, her brother abruptly stopped her movement."Who gave you permission to sit?" Regis snapped."Brother .…"Alicia’s voice turned soft and whiny, her lips forming a small pout. However, her usual tricks had no effect on Regis. He remained expressionless, completely unfazed by her act.Alicia’s gaze flickered toward the tempting food, her stomach growling at the sight. She hadn’t been eating breakfast properly for the past few days—not because the family chef failed to prepare it, but because the atmosphere a

    Amora glanced at Alicia briefly. She could see the worry in her husband's younger sister's eyes. The girl looked anxious about the question Regis had asked Amora. Secretly, Amora held back a smile."Just say it, Amora. No need to worry," Regis urged, still interrogating her. His instincts told him there was no way Alicia had done nothing to his wife.Based on what he knew about Alicia, she always caused some kind of trouble every day. Even though their father’s guards had been keeping a close eye on her lately, today she had finally been freed from her punishment. Regis was convinced that his sister had already done something to Amora."Did she say something rude to you?" Regis guessed, making Alicia even more anxious.Alicia thought she had already lost the battle. Her brother clearly wasn’t on her side. She could only curse him in her heart.She assumed Amora would complain to Regis about how she had accused her of being a thief or an intruder, along with all the mischief she had ca

    "Brother!"Alicia’s loud voice instantly made Regis look up from his phone. His eyes widened in surprise as he saw Alicia running toward him, only to throw her arms around his neck like a clingy little kid.Regis froze in shock, then quickly ended his phone call. He pushed Alicia’s forehead with his index finger, forcing her to let go."What are you doing here, Alicia?" Regis asked, his gaze sharp and suspicious.He was clearly confused. He had specifically asked his secretary to bring Amora, not Alicia."Huh! You’re not happy to see me?" Alicia pouted, annoyed.Regis didn’t answer. Instead, his attention shifted as he noticed Amora walking in behind Monica."Miss Grant, why did you let someone who has no business here just waltz in like that?" Regis snapped, instantly interrogating Monica.Alicia’s face darkened. She had expected her brother not to welcome her warmly, but she hadn’t thought he would go as far as embarrassing her in front of Amora.She had come here hoping he would ta

    "What? Are you scared now?" Alicia teased.She smirked arrogantly as she saw Amora's shocked expression after realizing her identity. She lifted her chin slightly, asserting her status."I don’t think I have anything to be afraid of, Miss Lorenzo," Amora replied, quickly regaining her composure.Alicia clicked her tongue in annoyance. "You haven’t forgotten what you did to my shoes, have you? I haven’t settled the score with you yet!" she snapped.Alicia wasn't about to let go of the grudge she held against Amora. The incident still irritated her to this day.Amora exhaled slowly before responding, "Didn’t I clean them and return them? What more do you want from me?""Leaving them at a café counts as returning them? You said you wanted to apologize sincerely, but what? You're such a liar," Alicia scoffed, pursing her lips in disapproval.Amora had left the shoes at the café with a waiter because she couldn’t afford to wait any longer for Alicia. Thanks to that girl, she had been late

    Amora kept her gaze fixed on the girl she was quite familiar with. The girl hadn’t even noticed her presence in the elevator yet."Phew! Good thing it didn't close," The girl muttered, her face glistening with sweat.Her eyes locked onto the elevator panel, confirming that it was headed to the 30th floor, just as she wanted. "Thank you," she said, turning to Amora, who was still staring at her in disbelief.The girl furrowed her brows as she looked at Amora's face. Suddenly, her eyes widened in shock, and she pointed a finger at Amora."W-why are you here?" The girl asked.Amora didn’t answer. Instead, she threw the question back at her. "I should be the one asking you that. How did you get into this elevator?"The girl looked confused. She glanced around, double-checking that she hadn’t entered the wrong place before turning her attention back to Amora."Hey, why are you questioning me? I can go wherever I want! Besides, how did you even get in here? This is the executive elevator!"

    Amora had just arrived in front of the Royal Dragon office building. She gazed in awe at the grand structure towering before her. The gleaming glass panels reflected the sunlight so intensely that she had to squint her eyes.This was the first time she had ever set foot in the office where her husband worked. The exterior design exuded luxury, leaving anyone who saw it mesmerized—including Amora herself.Even the Lysander family’s corporate building, which she had visited in the past, was nothing more than a speck of dust compared to Royal Dragon’s skyscraper.Seeing the opulence and grandeur before her, Amora suddenly felt nervous. She had actually wanted to decline Regis’s invitation for lunch at his office, but since he couldn’t leave work today, she had no choice but to comply.‘Just how wealthy is the Lorenzo family?’ Amora wondered, stunned.Her confidence seemed to waver in the face of such overwhelming luxury. Memories of her past struggles resurfaced—how she had applied to se

    "Looks like there’s some progress." Estelle teased Amora, who looked flustered in front of her.Amora sighed in annoyance, turning away to avoid her friend's interrogation. “I don’t see anything wrong with us doing it. We’re both adults, after all.”A soft chuckle escaped Estelle’s lips. Once her laughter subsided, she said, “I’m really happy to see how things are going for you, Amora. I truly believe this time, you’ll find happiness with Young Master Lorenzo.”Estelle genuinely meant it. Deep down, she still felt guilty for not being able to help Amora seven years ago. She sincerely hoped Amora would be happy this time. She had endured enough hardship in the past.“Do you realize how much your husband loves you? Even Gino couldn’t believe it. Regis Lorenzo—the man who’s always been indifferent to women—actually fell to his knees for you. You’re amazing, Amora.”Estelle’s praise made Amora smile in amusement. She, too, never expected to end up with a man she once found terrifying.“St

    "Ray is coming to the Waverly family's grandchild’s birthday party, right, Amora?" Estelle asked, momentarily diverting Amora's attention from checking her schedule for the next client meeting."Yeah, why?" Amora continued organizing her documents."Lately, Kimmy keeps talking about Ray. I'm getting a headache from hearing about him nonstop, and your son is truly a clone of your husband," Estelle sighed, describing how indifferent Rayden was whenever Kimmy tried to talk to him.Amora gave a small smile. "I'll remind him later. He’s probably just too shy to express himself in front of your daughter," she said, defending Rayden.Amora knew Rayden would never intentionally hurt Kimmy, even though Estelle’s daughter could be quite a handful. As his mother, she understood that Rayden deeply respected and cared for women, regardless of their age."Don't overthink it, Estelle. They don’t have siblings, so maybe Kimmy sees Ray as one. Plus, they go to the same school and are even in the same
