At that moment, Mila's phone buzzed. With a heavy heart, she retrieved her phone and glanced at the screen.

It was a money transfer notification from Sienna.

Watching Sienna diligently repay her debts month after month, Mila couldn't shake off her unease.

Despite leading a challenging and hard life, Sienna remained steadfast and diligent. Mila held a deep admiration for her resilience.

Were it not for her identity as Suzanne, Mila would never have crossed paths with a friend like Sienna, who resided at the fringes of society.

Sienna possessed an average education, held an ordinary job, lacked familial support, and had no influential connections to rely on. She depended solely on her own perseverance and hard work.

Despite grappling with financial difficulties, her family remained determined to save her father from cancer.

They were willing to liquidate all their assets and incur significant debt, owing hundreds of thousands of dollars, in pursuit of his treatment and recovery.

    Nathan fell into a momentary silence.Instead of questioning how Mila had learned of his accident, he nervously asked, "Chubs, are you outside?"Mila replied casually, "Yeah, I was on my way to meet Sienna and spotted you guys."With concern etched into his voice, Nathan asked, "Do you have a bodyguard with you? Is Phoebe there?"Mila paused briefly before replying, "I'm alone. I didn't bring anyone."Nathan's urgency grew as he pressed, "Share your location with me. I'll send someone over immediately."Once more, Mila fell silent, realizing Nathan hadn't been concerned about her question at all. Despite her worries about his car accident, he hadn't mentioned a word about it. Instead, he showed more concern for her safety."Nate, everything's fine. I'm just meeting up with a friend," Mila reassured him, hoping to alleviate his concern. "Phoebe will join me shortly."Nathan scolded Mila with a tone that struck a balance between sternness and care, resembling that of an older b

    Mila was furious. The fact that Nathan seemed unaware of having such a superficial friend like Fenna by his side only intensified her rage further.What kind of sibling bond did he believe they shared? Was he blind to Fenna's obvious admiration for him?Shortly after Mila ended the call, Nathan immediately called her.Nonetheless, Mila declined the call, but her phone rang for the second time.Mila quickly sent a message explaining, "My phone ran out of battery."She then powered off her device.At that moment, the cab arrived at the riverside.A wide boulevard was adorned with an array of merchandise, drawing in numerous tourists leisurely strolling along the riverbank.Mila navigated through the lively crowd, scanning the stalls until she finally spotted Sienna at the far end.Sienna's booth showcased an assortment of affordable items, from basic handicrafts to trinkets, hair accessories, and jewelry."Wanda!" Sienna's face lit up with a smile as she noticed Mila, enthusias

    Shortly after, Mila returned carrying a bag and a small makeshift table.Sienna looked puzzled.Mila unfolded the table and retrieved white A4 papers, ink, and brushes from the bag. She wrote a message on the paper and attached it to the stall."Receive a complimentary ink painting with purchases exceeding 100 dollars."Sienna was taken aback.Mila began preparing the ink as Sienna looked around anxiously, advising, "Wanda, the people here are just regular folks. They usually don't pay much attention to famous artists or paintings. Not many might recognize you."Considering Sienna's words, Mila couldn't help but agree. She then took out her phone, logged into her official account as Inkwell, and posted an update."Selling items on behalf of a friend. Get a complimentary painting with purchases exceeding 100 dollars."Mila placed her phone down and offered Sienna a warm smile. "Just watch what happens."Sienna felt grateful but also uneasy as she sat down next to Mila. "Wanda,

    Mila smiled, feeling happy that she could help Sienna. She had long set aside her worries about Fenna and Nathan.As Sienna was about to enjoy her pie, she asked, "Wanda, I read in the news that one of your paintings is valued at millions of dollars. Is that true?"Mila's gentle smile lingered as she placed her fork down, delicately dabbing her mouth with a napkin. "Yes, some of them are, but not all. The prices range from tens of thousands to several hundred thousand dollars for the more common pieces."Sienna was puzzled. "Why are they priced so high?"Mila let out a sigh. "Art certainly requires talent, but it's often driven by hype and the influence of fame."When I first began painting online for charity, my father secretly purchased one of my pieces for an astounding two million dollars."However, I donated the entire amount to schools in rural areas. That's when I suddenly gained overnight fame, and things just took off from there."Sienna chimed in, "That's why your pain

    Mila shook her head, letting out a soft sigh. "No, you will get your paycheck. Otherwise, you won't last an hour."Sienna was taken aback. "Is it really that serious?"Motivated by a desire to earn money and assist the esteemed anti-drug officer, Sienna eventually agreed.Mila explained to Sienna about Daniel's previous occupation, the circumstances of his injury, and his current condition.As the warm glow of the sunset painted the sky with shades of red, Mila and Sienna left the restaurant, hand in hand.Their steps faltered as they spotted Nathan on the main road.Standing before a black sedan were Nathan, Fenna, and Cole.Approaching them with a stern expression, Nathan asked, "Where's Phoebe? And where are the bodyguards you brought?"Sienna was somewhat puzzled, not understanding why Nathan was suddenly upset with Mila.Mila glanced up at the sky. It seemed that Nathan's banquet had ended.Her gaze shifted from Nathan to Fenna, and a sense of unease washed over her.Ra

    Fenna raised an eyebrow and glanced at Mila, taking on a self-righteous stance in defense of Nathan."What sort of couple are they? Would she even acknowledge it? What does she take Nate for? Clinging tightly to him on one hand, yet refusing to define their relationship in any way, not even as mere friends—doesn't that seem to be the situation?"Cole quickly stepped forward, pulling Fenna back and whispering, "Ms. Hudson, please don't cause trouble."Fenna brushed off Cole's hand, visibly irritated. "I pity you, Nate. Why should she be allowed to play with your feelings?"Mila remained silent as she looked at Nathan, her eyes brimming with tears as her heart weighed heavily with pain.Did Nathan truly agree with everything Fenna said? Was she really that intolerable?Feeling disheartened, Mila took Sienna's hand and turned away, her voice faltering, "Sienna, let's go.""Alright," Sienna said and followed her. Just as they were about to take a step forward, Nathan walked ahead,

    The more Mila thought about it, the worse she felt. Her gaze shifted toward Fenna, who was behind Nathan. She thought that Fenna must be gloating now. She must enjoy seeing them in such an unpleasant situation. Mila felt so wronged that her eyes welled up with tears. She knew her faults and where she went wrong. But she just wanted Nathan to unconditionally support her and stand by her side instead of supporting his friend. She wanted to be this man's favorite, not just someone he simply liked.The more Mila thought about it, the worse she felt. Tears shimmered in her eyes. She pretended indifference as she said, "Yes, I'm just that fickle. You got hurt because of me, and I took care of you for days. Now that you've recovered, I've fulfilled my responsibility.""Responsibility?" Nathan murmured, his voice trembling slightly. He smiled sorrowfully as he continued, "Responsibility… You're only responsible for the injuries I suffered?"Mila bit her lower lip stoically. She lo

    Was he protecting Fenna?The thought ran through her head. Mila even suspected Nathan was merely harboring a regret of unrequited love for Mila from their youth. He didn't love her that much.He wouldn't even hurt Fenna for her.Mila took a deep breath, then forcefully shook off Nathan's hand. She trembled with anger as she felt bitter, her heart clenching uncomfortably. "Don't touch me!" she shouted. Her tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. She took two steps back to distance herself from Nathan.She wiped away her tears desperately, but she felt wretchedly pitiful, like a helpless creature. No one understood, and there was no one to love her.Sienna couldn't bear to watch anymore. "Let's go," she said, grabbing Mila's hand and leading her away. Mila wiped away her tears while crying. She couldn't help but look back at him.Cole followed behind her.Nathan and Fenna didn't move from their spot. Her heart was broken and completely hopeless. She felt that any deci

    Jasper became concerned as Imogen placed her hand over her heart. He asked, "Are you experiencing any chest pains? Have you consulted a doctor? I can take you for a check-up."Imogen reassured him, gently holding his arm. "Jasper, I'm fine. I'm just trying to figure out how to balance my future family and career."Jasper smiled knowingly, gently patting her head before pulling her into an embrace. He recognized her uniqueness—her drive to pursue her career and showcase her skills and talents. The thought of being a stay-at-home mother or merely a trophy wife held no appeal for her whatsoever.Holding her close, Jasper murmured, "Imogen, have you forgotten about your husband's financial prowess?"Imogen couldn't suppress a chuckle.Jasper reassured her of his commitment, "As long as you're on board, I can arrange a driver to drive you to work, an assistant to handle all your tasks, and you won't have to worry about anything. When you return home, there will be maids and me to ens

    After returning from her journey across the globe, Imogen headed straight to the hospital. During her travels, she started noticing subtle changes in her body—nausea, fatigue, and a stronger need for rest. Her hunch was confirmed when tests revealed she was pregnant.She felt a blend of anticipation and apprehension. The idea of being pregnant raised thoughts of focusing on family life and raising children. Yet, she valued her career and was steadily demonstrating her skills. She wasn't ready to give it up just yet.When Imogen arrived home and stepped through the front door, she found Gregory and Carol were there. They had just returned from their trip as well, bringing back gifts. "Hi, Mom, Dad," Imogen greeted them.Still excited about their travels, Gregory and Carol eagerly recounted their adventures to Jasper.When Jasper heard Imogen's voice, he quickly stood and walked over to her, taking her hand. "Imogen, I woke up early and didn't see you around. Where did you go?"

    Jasper thought the idea was brilliant and agreed, "Let's plan our route and leave next week."Imogen gently pushed him back, her hands on his chest. "Sure, but let me get up first. We'll map out our journey, set a schedule, and go on a trip for our wedding."Jasper took her wrists and lifted them above the pillow. "Let's discuss this tomorrow. I have some pressing matters to attend to at the moment."Imogen was about to respond when Jasper leaned in and kissed her deeply. Their lips intertwined with passion.…A week later, Imogen received another call from Yulia's lawyer, who conveyed Yulia's apologies and expressed her desire for Imogen's forgiveness. Yulia also requested Imogen to intervene with Nathan on her behalf.Imogen decided to ignore the request. She believed in the fairness of the law. It reminded her of Zoey, who had fraudulently claimed her degree and ended up in prison at Jasper's behest.As for Yulia, she had orchestrated attacks on Gregory, caused Carol to lose

    Imogen's heart raced as she slowly hugged Jasper, her voice bashful yet resolute. "Jasper, you'll always have a place in my heart."Jasper tensed slightly, his senses on high alert. He met her eyes. A glint of anticipation sparked in his gaze as he eagerly murmured, "Say it one more time. Say it—""I love you, Jasper," Imogen said gently.Jasper's eyes immediately filled with tears as he held Imogen tightly, his body shaking. Overwhelmed by emotion, he could only whisper her name into her ear. "Imogen… Imogen…""Do you love me?" Imogen asked, her voice tinged with shyness.Jasper frowned. "I do love you. Haven't you always known?""I still want to hear it," Imogen said."I love you. I love you with all my heart," Jasper declared, gazing at her with intense passion and unwavering resolve.Feeling a bit stiff from his tight hug, Imogen gently pushed him away. "I love you, too, but I must get up and go to work.""Not today," Jasper responded, scooping and carrying her back to bed

    "If it's a gift, why not accept it?" Mila whispered.Gregory quickly took the check, looking unsure of his next move.Once his money was accepted, Oakley assumed the issue was settled. He took Yulia's hand and began to leave the ward, saying, "Well, I'll leave with Yulia for now."Still feeling resentful, Yulia glanced back and shot Imogen a glare as they departed.The ward fell silent. Feeling uneasy, Gregory and Carol exchanged anxious glances."Nate, we can't go easy on them," Mila whispered.Nathan smiled knowingly. He took Mila's hand, gently caressed it, and said quietly, "Don't worry. I'll ensure our in-laws get the justice they deserve."Mila nodded, feeling reassured. Gregory and Carol, who were listening nearby, felt deeply moved and grateful.Since Gregory was injured and confined to bed, the meeting between Jasper's and Imogen's parents ended earlier than expected. After saying goodbye to their parents, Jasper and Imogen headed home. On their way home, Jasper felt

    Yulia was renowned for her boldness and strong-willed nature. Aware of Oakley's wealth, influence, and dual reputation in legal and illicit circles, she feared no one and held a contemptuous attitude toward others, including senior military figures."You need to apologize to Ms. Imogen immediately," Oakley whispered urgently.Pointing at Imogen, Yulia muttered irritably, "Her? Oh, please! If anyone owes an apology, it's her to me."Oakley wiped his forehead nervously, trembling with anxiety. Everyone's expressions around them darkened visibly. Jasper suppressed his anger; his hands clenched into fists.Before he could speak, Yulia grumbled, "Jay, you blocked me before understanding everything, and then you terminated our contract. That's just too much."Mila couldn't shake her worry for Jasper. If he couldn't manage his relationship with Yulia appropriately, it could severely impact his marriage. Concerned that he might not handle it well, Mila intervened. "Ms. Gibson, please resp

    Carol no longer believed the portrayal of wealthy women on television.Jasper took Imogen's hand, and they sat down on the couch together, feeling anxious. It was their parents' first meeting, and the hospital setting added to the tension. If things went wrong and their relationship soured, their future would look bleak.Imogen was particularly anxious. Her palms were growing clammy. Jasper pulled out a tissue and gently wiped her palms before reassuringly saying, "There's no need to be nervous. My parents are easygoing."Offering an awkward smile, Imogen teased him, whispering, "You seem more nervous than I am, don't you think?"Jasper chuckled but offered no reply. Dealing with Gregory and Carol was sure to be a bit daunting.Typically reserved around strangers, Nathan found it difficult to start a conversation at that moment. Meanwhile, Gregory and Carol felt apprehensive and cautious, worried that any misstep could upset the Morrisons and cause problems for Imogen.Sensing th

    Mila approached them with a bouquet, smiling. "Yes, we're in the right place. We've come to visit you, our in-laws."The term "in-laws" caught Gregory off guard as he lay in the bed. Despite his injuries, he quickly propped himself up, struggling to sit upright. Carol, equally surprised, cautiously accepted the gift from Nathan's outstretched hands.Jasper and Imogen took the next elevator, so they hadn't reached the ward yet.Nathan quickly set his things down and hurried over, gently placing a reassuring hand on Gregory's shoulder. "You're injured. Don't get up. Just lie down and rest.""General Morrison, I…" Gregory's voice faltered in distress.Carol's hands trembled uncontrollably as she glanced nervously at Mila, worried that Mila and Nathan had overheard her argument with Gregory.Nathan spoke in a gentle tone, "Please, don't call me General Morrison. It sounds too formal. You both are older than me. Just call me Nathan, and I'll call you two by name in return."Mila came

    In the hospital ward, Gregory had been asleep for over an hour when the nurse woke him to change his medication.After the change, Carol peeled an orange for him to eat. They shared the segments, chatting idly."Imogen really picked a good husband. Even these oranges he bought are unusually sweet," Carol said, marveling at the oranges. Gregory glanced at the orange and said, "They must be expensive.""Yes, they're sold by the piece in big supermarkets. Also, they're more expensive than beef and lamb," Carol said before eating another sweet segment.Gregory pondered for a moment. Then he curiously asked, "Someone ruined our house's floor. Do you think Jasper would help us repair it?"Carol shot him a look and replied, "Listen, don't burden Imogen with this. Don't even bring it up.""Why would it burden Imogen? With Jasper's wealth, this is nothing.""Enough," Carol snapped. "That's his business. No matter how poor we are, we shouldn't ask for what isn't ours." "You're too stu
