"But he doesn't want to see you." The woman sneered. "Before he collapsed, he specifically said that if the three of you showed up, you weren't to be let in. Isn't that hilarious?"Emerald scowled. "I don't care. I'm seeing him tonight.""You think you can do whatever you want just because you're in charge of the Nixons now?" Mary Jewell challenged.Emerald had no patience for her nonsense. Her voice was sharp. "Break in."At her command, the men behind her surged forward.Mary's face paled slightly, and she instinctively stepped back. The two guards in front of the door immediately moved to intercept them.Fifteen minutes later, the hospital hallway was littered with bodies—Emerald's men had all been taken down.Yet, the two original guards remained firmly in place, unmoved.Mary reappeared, lifting her chin with an air of arrogance. "Looks like you won't be getting in tonight after all. If I were you, I wouldn't bother humiliating myself like this."Emerald let out a cold la

If they couldn't find Nyla by 6:00 p.m., the banquet would have to be canceled, and Emerald would become a laughingstock.At another estate on the west side of the city…Nyla was having lunch in the garden with an elderly man who appeared to be around 70, his graying hair neatly combed."Ms. Kinsey, try this truffle omelet. It's the chef's specialty," the old man said.Nyla smiled and nodded. "Thank you."After breakfast, they took a walk through the garden."Ms. Kinsey, how does my estate compare to your mother's?" the old man asked.Nyla glanced around, then smiled. "Each has its own charm. Both are beautiful.""And which one do you prefer?" he pressed.Nyla thought for a moment before meeting his gaze. "Do you want the truth or a polite answer?""The truth, of course," he replied.She answered honestly, "I prefer Ms. Kinsey's estate because it has my favorite Damask roses.""Just because of that?" he asked, amused."Yes," Nyla said simply.The old man chuckled. "Alrigh

Brian's expression was grim as he approached Emerald. "Mom, do you have any suspects for who took Nyla?""There are a few—Jacob, Darcy, Toby, and Antoine. These four have been the biggest obstacles to my control over the Nixons. Every time I make a decision, they push back on purpose," Emerald replied.Brian nodded. "Alright, I'll look into them now and update you as soon as I find anything.""Good. We need to find her before the banquet begins," Emerald reminded him."I understand," Brian answered.Once Brian left, Delia grew even more anxious.A message from her friend popped up on her phone, asking if she had used the methods they had discussed to deal with Nyla.She frowned at the message, ignored it, and deleted the chat.…An hour later, Alexander entered the estate's living room.The moment Delia saw him, it felt as if an angel had descended—her whole body relaxed in relief.Alexander, however, barely noticed her reaction. He walked straight to Emerald. "Aunt Emerald,

Alexander frowned. "Aunt Emerald, must you force me?"Before going to Saintornia, Emerald had promised to respect Nyla's wishes as much as possible.Yet, once she arrived, she acted entirely on her own terms, leaving no room for negotiation. She even went back on the conditions she had agreed to once Nyla reached Meristate.Sometimes, Alexander couldn't understand.Was Nyla really Emerald's daughter, or was she her enemy? What kind of mother could be so ruthless to her own child?Even if Emerald had only ever seen Nyla as a tool, did she really have to be this cruel?Emerald's expression darkened, her gaze filled with anger and disappointment as she looked at Alexander."Alexander, who's really forcing whom here? Don't forget, the Kinseys' success today is in no small part thanks to me. The position your father and you enjoy now exists because of my efforts. Anyone else can betray me, but you cannot!" she barked.Alexander pressed his lips together, staring at his aunt, who now

Not even the nephew Emerald had watched grow up stood by her side anymore.In a fit of rage, she knocked over an antique vase, her expression dark and stormy.At the entrance of the estate, Alexander was intercepted by Delia, who had chased after him.She was furious, the warmth she once had for Alexander now gone. Her gaze was sharp and hostile."Alexander, you've gone too far! You actually went against my mom for Nyla? You even want to cut ties with her? Are you insane?!" she snapped.Alexander remained indifferent. "I'm perfectly sane, Delia. You're my family. Nyla is also my family.""She has nothing to do with us! She's a worthless nobody! Ever since she arrived, our lives have been a mess. I wish she'd just disappear from this world!" Delia cried.Alexander's eyes darkened at her venomous words, but he didn't reprimand her. Instead, he said, "Delia, your life isn't in chaos because of her—it's because of your mother."If Emerald hadn't been so greedy, she never would have

"Mm," Nyla hummed in response.Just as she was about to continue asking, the old man suddenly said, "Ms. Kinsey, you've lost."Hearing this, Nyla looked down and realized her pieces were completely surrounded. "I'm not skilled enough. Looks like I need to keep practicing."The old man tossed his pieces back into the container, smiling. "You lost because your mind wasn't calm. Playing chess requires focus and patience. Without them, you'll quickly lose everything. The same goes for the battles between people—one can't rush things."Realizing he was indirectly pointing something out to her, Nyla nodded. "Alright, I understand.""I'll go back to work. Once you're ready, I'll have the driver take you to your destination. From here on out, whether you can get information from your mother depends on you," the old man said."Alright," Nyla replied.The old man left and went straight to his study.He had just sat down when he received an overseas call."How is she?" the caller asked.

"I don't need a stylist. I've brought my own dress," Nyla said.Upon hearing that, Emerald's gaze fell on the box beside Nyla.The box bore the logo of a small, niche luxury brand from Meristate—DG. This brand was little known to the public, circulating almost exclusively within high society.Unlike some brands that prominently displayed their logos, DG embroidered its insignia in a discreet, hidden spot inside its garments. From the outside, there was no way to tell it was theirs.Their seasonal collections were always breathtaking, featuring exquisite designs, and ordering from them required a reservation made three months in advance.Just from the box alone, Emerald could tell that whoever had taken Nyla last night was someone of considerable status.She opened the box. The moment her eyes landed on the iridescent, mermaid-style strapless gown inside, her expression darkened.She recognized this dress—it had been reserved three months ago by a mysterious buyer.As the saying

The makeup artist and stylist glanced at the dress, their eyes widening in disbelief."This dress… Is it the one designed by Bell Burton?" they exclaimed.The dress had become famous in the fashion world, with countless people eager to see it in person. However, after being purchased by a mysterious buyer three months ago, it had disappeared from the public eye—until now.To their astonishment, it was right in front of them.Nyla nodded. "Yes."At her confirmation, the makeup artist and stylist's eyes lit up.The makeup artist eagerly asked, "Ms. Kinsey, may I take a closer look? I promise I won't touch it—just a quick glance."The stylist quickly added, "I'd like to see it too, Ms. Kinsey. Could I?"Nyla was slightly taken aback. "But didn't you just say we're running out of time?""Just one minute! I swear I'll have your makeup done before the event starts," the makeup artist promised."Me too!" the stylist echoed.Seeing their longing expressions, Nyla finally relented an

"That's more like it," Valarie chirped.Nyla couldn't help but say, "Valarie, stop bullying Brandon all the time."Brandon turned to her and sighed dramatically. "Aunt Nyla, since you mentioned it, I have to say something. You have no idea what I've been through these past six months, I— Ouch!"Before he could finish, Valarie pinched his waist. "What was that? Tell me, Brandon. Have you been unhappy these past six months?""N-No... I've been very happy..." Brandon winced."Have I bullied you then?" Valarie pressed."No..." Brandon murmured.Valarie huffed. "If not, then keep your mouth shut, or Nyla will really think I mistreat you." Brandon gave her a pitiful look, lowering his head like a scolded puppy.Before they married, Valarie had been gentle and beautiful in his eyes. But after marriage, he realized how wrong he had been.Gentle and beautiful? All an illusion.If he stayed out drinking and came home late, he'd have to choose between sleeping on the couch or outside.

Taking Mia to work was exhausting, but every time she smiled at Damon, it made everything worth it."She'll be fine. Didn't you just say she loves us both equally? She'll cry for a bit, but if you stop taking her to the office, she'll get used to being at home," Nyla reasoned.Seeing Nyla's determination, Damon finally relented. "Alright, we'll try it tomorrow. But if she cries too much, you'll have to take her to the office.""Deal!" Nyla said....After getting ready for work the next morning, Damon kissed Mia on the cheek and headed for the door.As soon as he changed his shoes at the entrance, she reached her little arms toward him, asking to be held. She had grown so accustomed to going to the office with him every day that it had become a reflex.Damon glanced at Nyla. "Nyla, maybe today we should—"Nyla interrupted, "Nope. You go to work. And if you're free for lunch, don't bother coming home. If you need to work late, no rush to come back either."Damon chuckled. "You'

"Brandon, from now on, I'm entrusting Valarie to you," Jonathan said. "She's been spoiled by us and can be a little willful at times. I hope you'll be patient with her in your marriage, and I wish you both a lifetime of happiness together."Brandon held Valarie's hand tightly, his expression solemn. "Dad, don't worry. I'll cherish her with all my heart."Jonathan nodded, stepping down from the stage. He discreetly wiped away his tears.After exchanging vows and rings, Valarie and Brandon sealed their love with a kiss, surrounded by cheers and applause.…On the way home from the wedding, Nyla glanced at Damon. "I saw Mr. Weir wipe his tears so many times today. When Bunny gets married, you'll definitely be just like him, sneaking off somewhere to cry."Damon's grip on the steering wheel tightened slightly, his gaze sharpening. "No one will ever be good enough for my daughter. If she never gets married, we'll take care of her for the rest of our lives."Nyla raised an eyebrow and

"Of course! When's the wedding?" Nyla asked.Valarie shook her head. "We haven't decided yet. He'll come to my house in a few days to discuss it with my parents."Nyla raised an eyebrow. "You're about to get really busy. Planning a wedding alone will take a lot of work.""Yeah, I'm already getting a headache just thinking about it," Valarie replied....For the next few months, Valarie was completely consumed by wedding preparations and work, barely having time to catch her breath.The wedding was set for August 8th, leaving them with less than six months to finalize everything.Valarie even traveled abroad several times to meet with designers and ensure her wedding dress was exactly what she wanted.Beyond the dress, she and Brandon spent hours discussing every detail—from the venue to the wedding favors and bouquet choices....After months of nonstop planning, the big day finally arrived.Valarie was already up, getting her hair and makeup done at 2:00 a.m.By the time N

Valarie looked up and saw the approaching glow.When the figure finally stopped in front of her, she realized it was Brandon.Frowning, she asked, "Where did you go? I waited so long for you. And what are you hiding behind your back?"Brandon flipped his phone face-down on the table, revealing the flowers he had hidden. Then he dropped to one knee."Valarie, I had planned a perfect proposal for you, but when you asked earlier about the meaning of wearing a wedding dress, I knew I couldn't wait any longer."Before I met you, my life revolved solely around work. I never paused for anyone—I never cared whether the sun was rising or setting, or if the moon was full or waning. But everything changed after I met you."I began cherishing the thought of greeting you every morning, sharing meals with you, and standing by your side for life."Valarie, I want every morning to begin with us waking up together, and every night to end with us holding each other as we fall asleep."Finally, B

Of course, every time they visited Valarie's home, Phoebe would subtly—or sometimes not so subtly—hint that they should get married.Brandon had always assumed Valarie wasn't interested in marriage since she never responded to those hints. He hadn't considered proposing.But today, seeing her so excited about picking out baby clothes made him start to imagine a future with her—building a family, raising a child.That thought filled his heart with warmth.After more than three hours of shopping, they finally left the mall, their arms full of bags.Once they loaded everything into the car, Valarie turned to Brandon. "I'm starving. Let's grab something to eat."Brandon nodded. "Sure. What are you in the mood for?""I'm not picky. Is there anything good around here? I don't feel like going too far," she replied.Brandon paused, then said, "There's a place with ethnic cuisine nearby. I went there once for a business meeting—it was pretty authentic. Want to give it a try?""Sounds g

Nyla was silent for a moment before nodding. "Alright. If you ever need Damon to help figure out Brandon's thoughts, just let me know.""I will. Don't worry about us, though. You just gave birth. Your main priority should be resting," Valarie said."Okay," Nyla replied.Valarie lingered in the bedroom for a while, but when she saw Nyla looking tired, she stood up and left.Downstairs, only Brandon was in the living room.Valarie walked over to him and asked, "Where's Damon?""He had something to take care of for work, so he went to the study. How's Aunt Nyla?" Brandon asked."She seems to be doing well, and the baby is adorable. Oh, right, I forgot to ask what the baby's name is. I only know her nickname is Bunny," Valarie said.Just thinking about Mia Sumner's cute little face made Valarie smile. She was already looking forward to the day the baby would call her godmother.A flicker of something crossed Brandon's eyes. "You really like kids, huh?""Of course! I've said befor

Once they were in the car, Nyla suddenly recalled Damon's phone call earlier. "By the way, what did Alexander want?"After a brief pause, Damon glanced at her. "He said Ms. Kinsey left you an inheritance and asked when we'd be able to go to Meristate to take care of it."Nyla pressed her lips together before replying, "Call him later and tell him to donate it or keep it for himself. I don't want it.""Alright," Damon replied.When they arrived home, Damon helped Nyla settle onto the couch, placing a pillow behind her back for support. Then, he said seriously, "Nyla, you've been through enough. Let's not have any more kids after this."During her first pregnancy with Mason, Damon hadn't been around, so he hadn't realized how difficult it was for her.Now, experiencing this pregnancy with her, every checkup and blood draw made his heart ache.Once Nyla gave birth, he planned to get a vasectomy. Two kids were enough for them.Nyla shot him a look. "This wasn't exactly planned, was

More than half an hour later, Nyla finally stirred from her nap.When she opened her eyes, she found Damon sitting by her bed, watching her. She froze for a moment, caught off guard.Rubbing her eyes, she realized he was still there and confirmed she wasn't dreaming.She slowly sat up, her voice still heavy with sleep. "Why are you here? Shouldn't you be in your study working?""I missed you, so I came to see you," Damon replied.Nyla narrowed her eyes. "You definitely have something to say if you're here all of a sudden."Damon chuckled, a little helpless. "I guess I can't fool you.""Of course not. I know you too well. Ever since I got pregnant, you've never come to see me like this in the afternoon," Nyla said."Alright. Go freshen up first, and I'll wait for you downstairs," Damon suggested."Okay," Nyla replied.After washing up, she went downstairs and sat beside Damon. "Alright, tell me. What's going on? You're acting all mysterious."Damon hesitated for a moment befo
