At this moment, Jasper walked in.He greeted his parents politely, "Dad, Mom."Mila responded softly, "Jasper, welcome back. Come, sit next to me. It's been a long time since we've seen you."Jasper sat down beside Mila. He gently held her hand as his eyes filled with longing. They exchanged a smile.The smile faded from Nathan's face as he adopted a stern expression. He asked, "Jasper, what have you been busy with lately?""I've been learning business with Uncle Elio," Jasper replied earnestly.Nathan nodded, approving of his work.When Elio was mentioned, Candice felt inexplicably nervous.Suddenly, Jasper asked her, "Candice, didn't you go on a business trip with Uncle Elio? Why are you back? And where's Uncle Elio?"Feeling uneasy, Candice nervously replied, "I don't know. My work was done, so I came back.""Oh," Jasper responded.Mila sensed Candice's discomfort, so she continued to ask Jasper, "Jasper, when did Elio start dating? It's so sudden to talk about marriage.

Candice requested a day off, followed by the weekend ahead.She spent three consecutive days holed up in her room. She didn't want to leave her room unless it was meal times.She felt gloomy. She spent her time sleeping, listening to music, or simply staring blankly at the scenery outside the balcony.Suddenly, her phone rang.Lethargically, Candice reached for her phone and glanced at it. It was her colleague, Vanessa."Hello, Vanessa," Candice answered on speakerphone. She lay motionless on the bed, her voice lazy and weak.Vanessa nervously said, "Candice, let's watch a movie."Candice wasn't interested, so she rejected easily. "No, I have to work tomorrow.""It ends at 9:00 pm. Come on, I'll introduce you to a handsome guy," Vanessa insisted.Candice sighed in resignation. She had heard Vanessa mention her brother too many times, so she asked, "Your brother again?""Yeah, don't you always say you want to date? You're 22 years old and still haven't had a boyfriend. Why not

Candice panicked and quickly explained, "No, he's my friend's brother. We just met."Wendell nodded in greeting, "Hello."Josie smiled but didn't continue the conversation. Instead, she asked, "Which showtime are you here for?""7:00 pm, Theater 2," Wendell replied.Josie remarked, "That's unfortunate. We're here for the 6:45 pm show in Theater 6."Candice forced a smile. She politely smiled, "Yes, that's unfortunate."Just then, Vanessa walked over with popcorn and drinks. She handed some to Wendell while glancing at Josie.Seeing that they were indeed a group of three, Josie pretended to be in a hurry. She said, "I can't chat anymore. Leo will worry if I'm gone too long. I gotta go."With that, Josie turned and left.Were Elio and Josie watching a movie together?Candice stood there in a daze. She felt stifled and miserable.As all her good mood vanished, she was saddened by the revelation. She felt both upset and irrational.Wasn't it normal for an engaged couple to watc

Sadie arranged for a task that required Vanessa to leave the place. 15 minutes later, Vanessa hurriedly walked out of the movie theater. "What the fuck? Why are they making me rush a PowerPoint on a weekend?" she grumbled. "They need it tomorrow but didn't say anything earlier. What time is it now? Jeez…"Vanessa cursed as she walked. She quickly passed by Josie and left the theater in a rush.Mission accomplished. Now, Josie just needed to wait for the results.…Two hours later, Candice walked out of the theater alongside Wendell. They took the elevator down and headed outside."I'll take you home," Wendell offered politely.Candice declined his offer with a smile, "It's okay. I'll just take a cab.""It's not safe to take a cab by yourself.""Really, it's fine."Just as Candice finished speaking, she suddenly stopped in the middle of the plaza. Her heart skipped a beat as she nervously looked at the car in front of her.Elio sat in the driver's seat of a luxury car. He ro

"Miss, we're here," the driver softly called out after stopping the car.Candice snapped out of her reverie. She quickly wiped away her tears and took out cash to pay."Thank you," she said before getting out.As the door closed, the cab slowly drove away.Candice looked up at the brightly lit villa in front of her. She sighed heavily before walking dejectedly toward it.Just as she approached the large iron gate, a figure suddenly rushed up from behind her. She was shocked when her arm was grabbed. Before she could react, she was yanked to the side of the wall.Candice screamed in shock. Before she could comprehend what was happening, someone kissed her. At that moment, she was dumbfounded. She stared wide-eyed in terror at the face so close to hers.Through the blurry vision, she saw Elio. Finally regaining her senses, she began to struggle.However, the more she struggled, the harder he pressed against her. He pinned her wrists above her head with his solid chest pressed tig

Candice instantly panicked, wondering what Elio meant by his words. She was stunned, staring at him blankly. Although tears still welled up in her eyes, she was dumbfounded.Seeing her dazed expression, innocent and clueless, Elio asked angrily, "Did you hear me clearly?"Candice was so shocked that she gulped. She quickly nodded.Elio thought she understood until Candice blurted out, "I heard you. I don't need you to take responsibility. I won't cling to you."Elio was furious. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath to ease the pain deep in his heart. After a moment, he said coldly, "No, I want you to take responsibility."Candice froze. She bewilderedly asked, "I… need to take responsibility for you?"Elio replied with a magnetic voice, "Yes."Candice was stunned as her mind was a mess.He had been the one to initiate making love with her, and even though she hadn't refused, she was still the passive party. The experience had been painful, with no pleasure for her.She
The Wrong Woman Chapter 881
Candice was shocked. She couldn't grasp what Elio meant by his words. Was it possible that his desire for beauty and pleasure could drive him to such reckless extremes, even at the risk of his own life?Elio declared his desire for her. Wasn't he afraid that her family would kill him for trying to make her his mistress? Didn't he have any moral boundaries?Candice was livid. "Let go of me," she demanded.Elio loosened his grip on her wrist and took a step back.Candice massaged her aching hand. "Elio, just give up. Marry Josie and live a good life with her. Be good to her, and stop chasing after me."With those words, Candice stormed off. She angrily unlocked and pushed through a large iron gate. As she walked, she cursed inwardly at Elio.He was despicable. If he weren't already committed to someone else, she would've considered being with him, even as his secret lover.But Josie had been by his side for many years, and their wedding was just a month away. Yet, here Elio was,

Michaela suppressed her anger and stressed each word carefully. "Wanda, you've been away working in the frontier for so long that you might not realize how disturbing Elio's behavior is. He's Candice's uncle. They're related! Yet he's had an unhealthy fixation on Candice since her childhood."He collected her hair ties, cups, stuffed toys, and other random items. He hoarded her discarded pencil cases and even a used pen. Whenever he visited Morrison Residence, he secretly took things that belonged to Candice and stashed them away."What kind of man obsessively writes diary entries about a young woman? He stole her things, spied on her, stalked her, and filled his entire sketchbook with drawings of her. He…"I was desperate and had to pressure him into finding a girlfriend. But then he and Josie deceived me. I had no option but to make him move abroad. I truly—"Mila cut her off, her voice sharp with fury. "Mom, why did you read Elio's diary?""I did it for his own good," Michaela

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
