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

As soon as Darcy finished speaking, dozens of men in black suddenly surrounded Emerald and her people, cutting off any escape.Emerald's expression darkened, her eyes burning with anger and frustration as she glared at Darcy. "Darcy, do you have to go against me at every turn?"Darcy sneered. "Emerald, you and I have always been on opposite sides. If you want to take Edward, fine—just as long as the people you brought can defeat mine."His tone dripped with contempt, his confidence unmistakable—he had no doubt that Emerald's men were no match for his own.The standoff stretched on until Emerald clenched her teeth and said coldly, "Darcy, you're going to regret this."Darcy smirked. "Instead of wasting time threatening me, you should focus on keeping your position as the head of the Nixons. Once Edward recovers, you won't have a say in the family's affairs anymore."With that, he turned and left with Mary and Edward.As their car merged into traffic, the men in black swiftly disp

Nyla wasn't sure of Andre's connection to Emerald and the others, so she remained cautious."I prefer quiet places," she answered.Andre nodded. "Same here. The banquet is a bit too lively for me. I don't quite fit in."Nyla observed him discreetly. Anyone with an invitation to the estate had to be part of Emerald's social circle, which meant Andre was either incredibly wealthy or influential.Still, she had no intention of getting to know him further. She stood up. "Mr. Quinnett, I have something to do. Excuse me."Andre chuckled. "Alright, Ms. Kinsey. I have a feeling we'll meet again."Nyla didn't take his words seriously and left.When she returned to the main hall, the banquet was still in full swing.The room was packed with high-profile business figures she had only seen in news reports, as well as internationally renowned musicians and actors.Emerald's social standing was exceptional—otherwise, such an elite crowd wouldn't have attended.None of it interested Nyla, n

Filipe Gable, the butler, hesitated before speaking. "Madam, isn't this a little inappropriate?"After all, Nyla was still Emerald's daughter and, technically, one of the masters of the estate. It wasn't proper for a service staff to unlock the door to Nyla's room with a spare key.Emerald hadn't originally intended to take things this far, but Nyla was being uncooperative—so she only had herself to blame."Just do as I say!" Filipe let out a quiet sigh before nodding. "Understood."Filipe left the hall, taking a few staff members with him. He stopped outside Nyla's bedroom and knocked lightly before speaking through the door. "Ms. Kinsey, please come out. If you refuse, I will have no choice but to unlock the door with the spare key. Please don't make things difficult for me."Behind him, one of the maids frowned in confusion. "Why are you treating her with so much respect? It's obvious Madam doesn't care about her at all. Anyone can see that she despises her."Filipe shot the

Had Emerald actually kidnapped Harrison and brought him here?!Emerald's smile deepened. "Don't look so horrified. He's not in great health, so I simply brought him here to recuperate. Don't worry—so long as you behave, he'll be just fine."A buzzing filled Nyla's mind. She hadn't expected Emerald to be so utterly ruthless.She wanted to explode right then and there and rip off Emerald's mask before everyone—but she couldn't.The only reason Emerald hadn't harmed Harrison yet was that Nyla hadn't made a scene. If she exposed everything now, she would lose her value as a pawn, and Harrison would become disposable.At this point, Emerald didn't even see her as her own daughter anymore. Why would she spare an ex-husband she'd divorced years ago?Not only could Nyla not fight back, but she had to suppress her disgust and play along with Emerald's act of motherly love.She clenched and loosened her fists at her sides. After a few seconds, she forced a smile. "If anything happens to m

"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
