“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

    "Mom, please don't cry."Rayden hugged his mom, gently rubbing her back with his tiny hands."Thank goodness you weren't taken away, Ray," Amora squeaked, her voice muffled by her sobs.Rayden looked confused by his mother's words, but he sensed the worry in her tone."I am not going anywhere, Mom. I'll always be by your side," Rayden comforted his mom."Amora."Amora's sobs halted when she heard Emma Adams call her name. Slowly, she looked up and saw Emma standing there, looking concerned.Amora quickly wiped her tears, then stood up and walked over to Emma, staring at her with a worried expression."W-What happened, Mrs. Adams? Where did you come from?" Amora asked anxiously, still confused about the situation.Emma sighed softly and replied, "I don't know who did it either. But I just reported the problem to the nearest authorities. Your house is still in shambles. I didn't have time to clean it up earlier. Let's talk about this at my house instead, Amora."Amora agreed. She locked

    "Do you know who's behind this, Amora?"Emma's face looked very worried. Amora guessed that Emma must still be remembering the terrifying experience she had when dealing with the rioters who had come to her house earlier."I don't know either, Mrs. Adams," Amora replied.Amora already had a few suspects in mind, but she wasn't too sure, so she had to lie to Emma.For the past seven years, Amora had never caused trouble with anyone. If she could avoid problems, she would. All Amora wanted now was to live peacefully with her son.However, some people didn't like her peaceful life, like Julia Brown or maybe Chelsea Harrison. Those were the two names that came to her mind when Emma asked that question."Really? Could they have mistaken you for someone else?" Emma asked again. She seemed to be deep in thought.A thin smile formed on Amora's lips. She couldn't give a definite answer to that either."What did we do wrong, Mom? Why are they so mean to us?" Rayden asked innocently.Amora turne

    “Alright.

His small eyes looked at her intently, filled with curiosity.“So, how was the man at the blind date, Mom?”Amora nearly choked at her son's question. "You... still haven't given up?" she grumbled.The boy flashed a toothy grin and asked, “Didn't you like him?” He was still trying to pry information from his mother about the blind date she went to this afternoon.Emma listened with interest too."He was a scammer. Next time, don’t just sign me up for a blind date, Ray," A

As usual, his face was cold and expressionless.After canceling all his blind dates for the day, Regis chose to return to the office.Mark didn’t follow him back because he had to gather some information that Regis needed.Regis pressed the intercom button and dialed his secretary Monica Grant’s extension.“Bring me all the donation data I asked for yesterday!” Regis ordered his secretary.Without waiting for a response, Regis ended the intercom call. Shortly after, there was a knock at the door.“Come in!” Regis called without looking up. He was fiddling with his phone.Monica Grant walked in cautiously. She rarely interacted directly with her boss. Previously, she reported most things through Mark.Being called in suddenly made Monica’s heart race. She was worried about making a mistake.

Several luxury cars lined up neatly in front of the school entrance, ready to pick up the elite students.Today, all the students were dismissed early because they had just finished their midterm exams. It was no wonder the parking lot was much more crowded than usual.Mark Carter was standing in front of the entrance. His eyes scanned the faces of the students who were starting to exit the school building one by one.His gaze stopped at a teenage girl laughing and joking with her friends.“Miss,” Mark called out when their eyes met.The smile on Alicia Lorenzo’s face immediately faded. She stopped and stared sharply at her brother’s assistant.“Ugh, why are you the one picking me up?” Alicia grumbled.“The master had some business today.

    A meaningful smile spread across Alicia's lips. Her captivating blue eyes sparkled as she read the incoming message on her phone.The message was from Amora, sent about fifteen minutes ago, but Alicia had just opened it. She quickly replied to the message.[Wait there. I'm on my way.]Of course, Alicia was lying. She had just passed the café where they were supposed to meet and hadn’t asked Mark or her brother to stop there for a moment.Soon, Alicia received a reply.[Will it be long, Miss? I have other things to do.]Alicia clicked her tongue in annoyance. She thought for a moment and then typed another reply.[Just wait.

    Seeing his wife’s confused expression, Regis suppressed a smile.“Are you playing tricks on me?” Amora asked, narrowing her eyes sharply.“No,” Regis replied with a small shake of his head. Then he added, “But earlier, you were mumbling in your sleep and called me ‘Oddie.’”Amora’s jaw nearly dropped in shock. She immediately looked away, guilt written all over her face. Her reaction only fueled Regis’s suspicion.Clearing his throat, Regis continued, “And … you hugged me because you were cold.”Amora was stunned again. She couldn’t believe she had said and done such reckless things while unconscious.Regis then recounted what had happened two hours earlier. He had just finished his bath and was ready to sleep, choosing to lie down next to Amora.But as soon as he settled beside her, Amora started mumbling, “Oddie…”Regis’s brows furrowed instantly, his expression darkening as she uttered the name of some mysterious “man” in her sleep.“Damn it! Who the hell is Oddie?” he muttered ang

    Regis’ gentle voice was like a balm, easing Amora’s fear and replacing it with the warmth of his embrace. It was as if her anxiety had magically melted away.But then it hit her. Amora realized what she had done in the spur of the moment—clinging to her husband like this.“Oh no... why am I hugging him? This is so embarrassing!” Amora thought, mortified.To make matters worse, her face was resting against his broad chest. Regis was only wearing a bathrobe, and though the situation was awkward, Amora couldn’t deny his scent's comfort.Amora blinked repeatedly as she caught the rhythmic sound of a heartbeat in her ear.“Wait … is this my heartbeat or… his?” Amora wondered, her own pulse racing so fast it was hard to tell the difference.“How are you feeling now, Amora?”Regis’ voice snapped Amora out of her thoughts. She quickly pulled away, tilting her head up to meet his gaze with an unmistakable nervousness.“I—I’m feeling better. Thank you,” Amora murmured.“Really?” Regis’ face sti

    “Ugh...” A faint groan escaped Amora’s lips. Slowly, her eyelids fluttered open, revealing her clear hazel eyes. But within seconds, her eyes squeezed shut again, shocked by the bright, piercing light flooding the room. She tried opening them again, this time cautiously, adjusting to her surroundings bit by bit. 'Where... am I?' she wondered, trying to piece together what was happening. Her pale lips twisted in pain as a pounding headache hammered her senses, leaving her helpless. Her tongue felt heavy, as though she’d lost the ability to speak, think, or do anything. Even moving a single finger felt impossible. She was utterly powerless, a lingering effect of the sedative still coursing through her system. 'What happened to me?' Amora cradled her head in her hands, struggling to recall the events leading up to this moment. Like fragmented movie clips playing out in her mind, flashes of what had occurred started to come back to her. 'Someone tried to hurt me!' Amor

    Mark let out a long sigh. Biana's stubbornness was enough to frustrate him today. Yet, he still had to get her to leave, no matter what. “Miss Curtiz, even if you stay here, there’s nothing more you can do, is there? I hope you understand—it’s late now. You heard the doctor yourself earlier. She’s only asleep because of the sedatives. So there’s no need to worry anymore.” Biana’s sharp eyes stayed fixed on Mark. “But I can’t just leave her here alone. What if someone tries to harm her?” “Miss Curtiz .,.,” Mark exhaled wearily before continuing, “My Young Master will also be staying in this room tonight. He’ll take care of her. So ... just trust him with this.” Biana scoffed. “He’s the last person I’d trust. If he were trustworthy, Amora wouldn’t have ended up like this in the first place,” she snapped coldly. “This wasn’t within Young Master Lorenzo’s control either, Miss Curtiz,” Mark defended his boss, but his words only made Biana even angrier. “Miss Curtiz, thank you for you

Estelle muttered in shock.Hearing his best friend's name mentioned by his wife, Gino's gaze sharpened as he fixed his attention on her, straining to catch every word of her conversation."Why are you the one calling me, Young Master Lorenzo?" Estelle asked, bewildered.She glanced at her phone again to confirm that the caller ID indeed displayed Amora Lysander's name, yet it was Regis speaking on the other end. Her husband's suspicions were right after all.Amora really was with Regis Lorenzo!Even so, Estelle wasn’t ready to take Regis's word for it. She had never personally met Amora’s husband before."Are you really Regis Lorenzo?
