Mila smiled and said, "Let's just take things as they come. We don't need to announce everything to everyone."

"But everyone is doubting your skills and talking about you behind your back," Phoebe objected.

"Actions speak louder than words. If you want to silence them, the best way is to show what you can do."

Phoebe wasn't entirely convinced. After all, words could hurt, and dealing with gossip every day was tough.

Later, Phoebe opened up to Cole about her concerns, and Cole shared the conversation with Nathan.

The following day, the military base released a personnel profile showcasing Norvania's top researchers. It highlighted their impressive accomplishments and accolades.

Among the extensive list of researchers, Mila's name stood out prominently.

"Wanda Hoffis, also known as 'Mila,' is Norvania's leading chemical researcher and military engineering designer. She's credited with developing hydronium and has contributed significantly to numerous groundbreaking studies in Sunt

    Mila was confused. "Why are you bringing up Daniel out of the blue?"Nathan's expression turned grim, and he asked with bitterness, "Just answer me. Will you pick him or me?"Mila chuckled. "Daniel's right. You've always seen Daniel as a rival. But I've never had romantic feelings for Daniel. He's like a brother to me, so why would I pick him?""Then, are you saying you'll marry me?""It's not a definite yes."Nathan's face went pale, and he anxiously cradled Mila's face in his hands. "What do you mean? Are you considering marrying Daniel?"Mila replied calmly, "I don't have feelings for Daniel. I have them for you. But if Daniel has feelings for me just like you do, it's difficult to say who I might end up marrying.""Why?" Nathan asked.Mila pondered for a moment before responding, "Daniel has qualities that set him apart from you.""What sets him apart?""You're more reserved, while he's quite assertive. If you both pursued the same woman, he wouldn't hesitate to make the

    Mila asked, "Aren't you curious about how Daniel's been lately?""Wanda, I need to go. My mom's calling me. Let's talk later when I have time," Sienna said before ending the call.Mila frowned, her eyes welling up with tears. She slumped into Nathan's embrace, blurting out, "I'm devastated. Sienna's getting married. What about Daniel?""But didn't you say he's assertive? What's there to worry about? If he truly cares for Sienna, he could turn the situation in an hour, let alone a month," Nathan reassured her."Really?" Mila asked, blinking her eyes.Nathan gently stroked her hair and kissed her. "You've looked up to him since we were kids, and there's a good reason for that. Have faith in him, and let's see how things unfold.""Okay."…In the lobby of a nice hotel in Eastville, Sienna forced a smile as she came back to the table. "Sorry about that. I had to take a call."Sienna's mother, Shelly Cruz, kicked her sharply with her foot. Sienna winced and turned to Shelly.With

    Eastville, known for its simplicity and natural beauty, was a thriving town nestled within a smaller city in Norvania.It was where Sienna grew up, and life there was quieter and more affordable compared to bustling cities like Phoenicia, making it a popular choice for retirees.Sienna's family resided in Eastville, and her mother, Shelly, owned a corner store in the local market.After Sienna's father passed away, Shelly took charge of the family business by herself, with Sienna helping out occasionally. Felix never helped out at all. Instead, he often took money from Shelly.Sienna prepared dinner, packed it into a thermos, and headed to the corner store to deliver it to Shelly. Upon entering, she noticed Shelly discreetly wiping away tears."Mom, what's the matter?" Sienna hurriedly placed the thermos down and approached the checkout counter. She crouched beside Shelly and gently took her arms. "Why are you crying?"Shelly swiftly brushed away her tears and forced a smile. "It

    "Wow, Felix, your sister is stunning! Why haven't you introduced her to us before?""What's her name?""Hey, Felix's sister, join us for a drink."Everyone was teasing Sienna. Before she could react, a stern voice boomed from the entrance. "Police raid! Everyone, move to the hall! Quickly, it's a police raid!"Suddenly, all the music in the bar cut off, and everyone looked at each other in shock.Sienna had never been in a situation like this before. It was quite a coincidence that she happened to experience it today.Felix quickly ushered Sienna out of the room, asking, "Sienna, what are you doing here?""Where's the money?" Sienna demanded, reaching out to him."I'll need it to settle the bill later," Felix replied."This money is hard-earned by Mom. You're capable, so earn your own. If you can't make it, then learn to manage without spending. "You're 24 already and still depending on mom's money. Aren't you ashamed?" Sienna scolded as they walked.The pair entered the ha

    The woman before Daniel was the most conservatively dressed in the bar.But her appearance didn't match with Sienna's personality. Both of them were completely different.He didn't suspect that she was Sienna."What's the matter? Cat got your tongue?" Daniel asked sternly.Sienna hesitated because she didn't have the courage to speak.Since it had been a long time since they met, she held out a glimmer of hope in her mind that perhaps Daniel had forgotten her, maybe even her voice.At that moment, Felix hurriedly explained, "Captain, my sister didn't bring her ID with her. She came to find me and coincidentally ran into your inspection."Daniel remained serious and aloof. He lowered his head and then pressed his fingers on the device. He said, "Report your ID number."Nudging Sienna, Felix said, "Say it, Sienna."Sienna nervously shook her head.Felix was at a loss too. He quickly explained, "My sister hasn't seen this kind of situation before, she must be frightened. I remem

    In an instant, Sienna raised her gaze. She saw a hand pressed against the wall beside her face to block her path.Daniel's tall figure made her feel very pressured. She caught the familiar faint fragrance emanating from him.Sienna grew nervous and uneasy as she clenched her fists tightly. She warily stared into his deep eyes.Daniel's voice was extremely sexy as he murmured softly, "This is a real arrest scene. We're not filming a movie. You just barged in like this, aren't you afraid of death?"Sienna knew this was wrong because she might even cause trouble for the police. But she was just too worried about him.Daniel stared at her as he was waiting for her to speak.After waiting for a while, she still remained silent.Daniel intentionally raised his other hand. He frowned as he sucked in a breath, "Ah!""What happened to your hand?" Sienna blurted out anxiously without hesitation.Daniel harbored an imperceptible sense of warmth.Her voice was still so pleasant to listen

    Sienna was rendered speechless for a while. She slowly lowered her head to look at Daniel's hand which was at her waist. She asked, "Captain, could you please remove your hand?"Daniel slightly smirked, but he didn't let go of her delicate waist. Instead, he held her tighter. Pretending to be nervous, he said, "Your driving skills aren't great. I'm afraid of falling, so let me hold on to you."Sienna took a deep breath to suppress the urge to speak.Her electric scooter was so small. But Daniel had such long legs. Honestly, if he stood up, the scooter could pass under his crotch. With such a height, could he even fall?When did Daniel become so delicate?Sienna had no choice but to start the scooter and slowly drive away.The hospital in the small town only had an emergency department at night. Sienna waited at the entrance of the emergency department.Just as she was about to go in to listen to the consultation, she was chased out by Daniel, who asked her to respect his privacy

    It seemed like Sienna and Daniel just couldn't get along!"Get off the scooter!" Sienna yelled angrily.Daniel didn't move. Instead, he turned off the scooter and looked at her sideways. He said very gently, "Sienna, let's give it a try."Sienna muttered inwardly, "Try what? Sleeping together? This bastard!"Clenching her fists, Sienna hit him on the chest and tried to push him off the scooter. She angrily said, "Bastard, get off!"Sienna's punches caught Daniel off guard. Though it wasn't painful, he feared she would get hurt while trying to take the scooter back. So he stepped back and returned it to her.Looking at her charming and delicate appearance, and observing her irritable temperament, Daniel realized she was the Sienna he knew before.She looked as cute as a docile little lamb, which didn't quite match her personality.Sienna snatched the scooter back and rode away.Daniel sighed helplessly as he watched her retreating figure.Just as Sienna drove for a short while

    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.

    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
