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

"M-Ms. Kinsey, please come this way," the maid said."Alright," Nyla replied.As they walked to the living room, the maid couldn't help but glance at Nyla from the corner of her eye, filled with disbelief and awe.Was this really the same Ms. Kinsey as before?Her face hadn't changed much, yet after the makeover, she looked as if she could pass for a celebrity on TV.The maid was certain that the moment Nyla made her entrance, she would cause quite a stir. Even the widely praised Delia would pale in comparison.Nyla, seemingly oblivious to the maid's scrutiny, followed her in silence.A few minutes later, they entered the living room.As soon as they stepped inside, the maid noticed more and more eyes turning their way. No, to be precise—all eyes were on Nyla.She walked past without sparing anyone a glance, calmly following the maid to where Emerald stood.Emerald was slightly taken aback at the sight of Nyla, a complex expression crossing her face. Though she didn't want to

Nyla nodded. "Yeah, go ahead and speak louder if you want—draw everyone's attention. Let's see if Ms. Kinsey yells at me or you.""You!" Delia's face turned red with anger. She knew all too well that if she ruined tonight's banquet, Emerald would definitely not let her off easy.Her expression darkened as she realized that and said coldly, "Just wait for it."With that, she turned and walked away.A cold glint flickered in Nyla's eyes while watching her leave.Emerald favored this daughter of hers too much. Otherwise, how could she be so foolish as to think she could threaten Nyla's position?Nyla picked up a drink and sat down, hoping for a moment of peace. However, she had barely settled in before a man approached, striking up a conversation.Not in the mood for his obvious flattery, Nyla responded coldly and quickly sent him on his way.As soon as one man left, another took his place, buzzing around her like a fly.The relentless attention only made her more annoyed.It se

Darcy had been with Edward for many years and had always supported him. Secretly, he had grown close to Edward's illegitimate son, hoping to help him become the next head of the Nixons. This had made him and Emerald like water and fire.If the person behind Nyla was Darcy, he certainly had the ability to cover her tracks.However, there was always a flaw in every plan.The dress was the biggest mistake.Darcy noticed Emerald's gaze and turned toward her.When he saw the coldness in her eyes, he smiled and walked over. "Emerald, why are you staring at me like that? Do you have something against me?"Emerald sneered. "Darcy, don't you have anything against me?"Darcy chuckled. "It's your daughter's banquet today. I'm a guest here. Let's put aside our past grudges and enjoy a wonderful evening together."Emerald was about to reply when Darcy's phone suddenly rang.His expression changed when he saw the number on the screen. He glanced at Emerald, then stepped aside to answer, del

"Yeah, I just got home. How's your mother doing now?" Valarie asked."Her condition is stable. Veevee… I need to ask you something," Stefan said.A flicker of surprise crossed Valarie's eyes. "What is it?"There was a brief silence before Stefan spoke again. "Never mind, it's nothing important. Get some rest. Goodnight."Before Valarie could respond, he had already hung up.She set her phone down, deciding to invite Stefan out for dinner in the next few days and have an honest conversation with him.…After the surgery, Michelle remained unconscious for a full day before finally waking up.The moment she opened her eyes, she saw Jayden sitting by her bedside."Michelle! You're awake!" Jayden exclaimed, relief flooding his voice as he quickly pressed the call button for the doctor.Once the doctor confirmed she was out of danger, Jayden exhaled deeply."Michelle, do you have any idea what I went through while you were unconscious? Please, don't ever do something so reckless a

The moment Brandon spoke, silence blanketed the room.Yale and Nolan both looked visibly uneasy.Jayden froze for a second, then his face twisted with disappointment. "Fine! From now on, we're strangers!"With that, he shoved Nolan aside and stormed toward the hospital entrance.Nolan frowned and turned to Brandon. "Brandon, Jayden was just upset. Did you really have to make it so final? How are you going to fix things later?""I don't plan to fix anything. Because of him and Michelle, Valarie and I fought countless times. Do you really think I should sacrifice my girlfriend for two so-called friends?" Brandon retorted.Seeing the indifference in his expression, Nolan suddenly regretted sending that message earlier. If he hadn't texted Brandon about Valarie being with another guy, none of this would have happened."I'm heading home," Brandon said before turning to Valarie, taking her hand, and leading her out of the hospital.Watching them leave, Nolan felt a surge of frustrati

A cold gust of wind blew through, and Brandon felt his heart sink.From the moment he first laid eyes on Valarie, he had made up his mind—he had to be with her, to marry her.He had pursued her for five years. They had finally gotten together, only to break up soon after.He had tried everything to win her back, but no matter what he did, she only seemed to drift further away.Was it really impossible for them to be together?"Valarie, you told me to stay away from Michelle for a month, and I did."Tonight, Jayden called to say that Michelle tried to commit suicide and is in the hospital being resuscitated. I still didn't go see her."I know I made a lot of mistakes before, but I've been trying to change. Can you give me one more chance?" he pleaded.Valarie remained silent for a long time. She knew she still had feelings for Brandon. When she met his pleading gaze, she felt herself softening.Finally, she looked at him and nodded. "Alright, but this is the last chance I'm giv

Brandon didn't respond. He stepped out of the elevator, seized Valarie's wrist, and yanked her behind him.Valarie nearly lost her balance. As she steadied herself, she heard his cold warning. "Stefan, stay away from Valarie. If you don't, you won't be able to handle the consequences."Stefan met his gaze, his expression unreadable. "Mr. Sumner, you just made her almost fall. Let go of her."Brandon let out a sarcastic laugh. "She's my girlfriend. It's none of your business."Valarie immediately yanked her wrist free. "Brandon, what the hell is wrong with you? Why are you acting like this in the middle of the night?"Brandon turned to her. "And what about you? What are you doing here so late? Don't tell me you've actually fallen for this kid who's younger than me."At first, he hadn't taken Stefan seriously. He had assumed Valarie was just using him to get back at him.But as she grew kinder to Stefan, panic began to creep in.Brandon was terrified that she really liked Stefan

Stefan looked at Valarie, his eyes red. "Veevee, thank you! I'm sorry for causing you trouble.""It's fine, it's not a big deal. Go check on your mom," Valarie said.After Stefan left, Valarie turned to the nurse. "Can I pay the hospital fees now?"The nurse nodded. "Yes, you can."Once Valarie finished paying and the nurse confirmed the transaction, she said, "Ms. Weir, I'll have my colleagues move Mr. Foley's mother back to her room now.""Okay," Valarie replied.She didn't argue with the nurse. After all, the hospital was just following protocol. Stefan's mother had been behind on payments for over two weeks, and the fact that they hadn't moved her out sooner was already lenient.Before long, Stefan's mother was back in the ICU.Seeing the medical equipment reconnected, Stefan let out a breath of relief.After confirming his mother's condition was stable, he turned to Valarie. "Veevee, I really don't know what I would've done without you tonight. Thank you. I promise I'll f

Yale shook his head. "No idea. Let's check on Michelle first."He had no intention of getting involved in whatever had happened between Brandon and Valarie."Alright," Nolan replied.When they reached the ER, Michelle was still being treated.Jayden sat in a chair in the hallway, head down, lost in thought. Hearing footsteps, he slowly looked up.When he saw that Brandon wasn't with them, he let out a bitter laugh. "Of course, he didn't come. Heartless bastard."Yale sighed. "Jayden, you can't blame Brandon for this. He promised Valarie he wouldn't see Michelle for a month."Given Brandon's personality, he wouldn't break his promise, no matter the trouble Michelle stirred up."So a stupid promise means more than someone's life?" Jayden shot back.Yale frowned. Seeing that Jayden wasn't in the mood to listen to reason, he didn't argue. In his opinion, Michelle had brought this on herself. If she thought attempting suicide would make Brandon cave, she was dead wrong.If he we

Nyla looked at Valarie. "What do you mean, giving each other looks? Just eat. I made your favorite—spicy chicken."Valarie nodded. "Okay."As they ate, Damon glanced at Brandon. "When are you going back to the company?"It had been nearly a month since Brandon left the Sumner Group. If he stayed away much longer, the people he had trained might start siding with someone else.Brandon paused mid-bite, instinctively glancing at Valarie across the table. She didn't even look his way.After a brief silence, he lowered his gaze. "In a few days.""Alright." Damon didn't press the issue.Brandon was the CEO of the Sumner Group. Damon couldn't keep treating him like a subordinate.Halfway through the meal, Brandon's phone rang.Seeing Jayden's name on the screen, he frowned and ignored it. But the phone rang again. And again.After declining multiple calls, he realized the others at the table were all looking at him.He picked up the phone. "It might be urgent."Stepping aside, he

"I just wanted to see if you'd tell me the truth. Now I know—you don't trust me," Jayden said.Michelle cried, "Fine! I admit it. I sent Stefan after Valarie. I wanted him to ruin her relationship with Brandon! Go ahead and tell Brandon if you want! I don't care!"She stood, ready to leave.Before she reached the door, Jayden's voice echoed behind her."I won't tell Brandon," he said. "But I won't help you anymore, either. There's still time to stop this. You can walk away now."Michelle's footsteps faltered momentarily, but she didn't turn back. She had never regretted her choices—why would she stop now?As long as she could have Brandon in the end, she wouldn't give up.If Jayden refused to help, she'd just have to figure it out on her own.…That evening, as Valarie got off work, she received a call from Nyla."Valarie, come over for dinner tonight! Oh, and by the way, I sent you a thank-you gift last night. Make sure you accept it," Nyla said.Valarie had seen Nyla's mon

"Whether or not you're having me followed, who I choose to spend time with is my business. I hope you'll stop prying into my private life," Valarie said.Brandon grabbed her wrist, his voice low and firm. "Valarie, the month is almost up. Don't forget the promise you made."She pulled away. "There's still a week left. We'll talk when the time comes."With that, she turned and left.Brandon watched her go, frustration darkening his face.The anonymous photos he'd received that morning were still fresh in his mind, making his expression even stormier.Forcing himself to stay calm, he pulled out his phone and called his assistant. "Find out who sent those photos to my email this morning."After hanging up, his mood remained grim. It was time to give Stefan a warning.Just as he was about to leave, his phone rang again.His eyes flickered with annoyance at the unfamiliar number. Without hesitation, he rejected the call and blocked it.Ever since he'd cut off Michelle, she'd been
