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

Nyla had a good impression of Filipe.Filipe quickly waved his hand. "It's just my duty, Ms. Kinsey. You should go now."Nyla said nothing more and turned toward the estate's entrance.Filipe sighed quietly as he watched her disappear into the distance.They were all Emerald's children, yet while Brian and Delia could act spoiled and willful around their mother, Nyla was met with nothing but disdain, forced into things she never wanted.The contrast was striking, and Filipe couldn't help but feel a twinge of sympathy for her.…More than half an hour later, the car pulled up in front of a private nursing home.Because prior arrangements had already been made, someone was waiting the moment Nyla stepped out, ready to lead her to Harrison's ward.When she pushed open the door and saw him lying in bed, she subconsciously tightened her grip on the doorknob.She had wanted to believe Emerald was lying. But seeing Harrison here, weak and confined, she could no longer deceive hersel

Now, Harrison was nothing more than a bargaining chip for Emerald to use against Nyla. He couldn't even die if he wanted to.He lifted the blanket and glared at the restraints tying him to the hospital bed. If he could, he would have cut through the ropes and jumped out the window right then and there.…Back at the estate, Nyla had regained her composure.As soon as she stepped into the main hall, Filipe approached her. "Ms. Kinsey, Madam has asked you to go to the study."She had been planning to see Emerald anyway, so she nodded. "Alright, I understand."When she reached the study, she didn't bother knocking. She simply pushed the door open and walked in.Emerald was on the phone.Hearing the noise, she looked up at Nyla with clear displeasure, quickly saying a few final words before hanging up. "What do you want? When are you going to fix your bad habit of barging into people's rooms without knocking?""You could always lock the door," Nyla said flatly. "That way, I wouldn

Emerald raised an eyebrow and leaned back in her chair, a mocking glint in her eyes as she looked at Nyla. "I thought you'd make some outrageous demand, but this is it?"Her tone dripped with disdain, as if ridiculing Nyla for not seizing the opportunity to ask for more.Nyla remained expressionless. "Yes, that's my only condition.""Fine, I agree. Now, will you sign it?" Emerald asked.Without another word, Nyla picked up the pen and signed her name at the bottom of the document. She clicked the pen shut, placed it atop the papers, turned, and walked out.Emerald narrowed her eyes as she watched Nyla leave.After confirming the signature, she immediately called her assistant to take the document and begin the legal process.…Word quickly spread through Meristate's high society—Emerald had transferred all her shares in Kajer Tech to Nyla.Some saw it as a clear sign that Emerald was grooming Nyla to take over the Nixons. After all, Kajer Tech generated billions in revenue eac

Nyla let out a short laugh. "Wow, I really did come here to serve a sentence, didn't I? A strict wake-up time, a rigid schedule—should I get a sewing machine while I'm at it?"Emerald's eyes hardened. "I'm not joking. You signed that agreement last night. As of today, you are the owner of Kajer Tech. You have one month to learn how to run it.""Sorry, not interested," Nyla said, refusing."If you refuse, you'll never see Harrison again," Emerald threatened.Nyla's expression changed, her jaw tightening. "I knew I shouldn't have trusted you. You have no integrity whatsoever."Emerald sneered. "Did you really think you could just sign a piece of paper and be done with it? You have three minutes to decide. Either follow my orders, or forget about seeing Harrison ever again."Taking a deep breath, Nyla clenched her fists. "Fine. I'll do it."Emerald didn't look surprised. This was the outcome she had expected."You can go eat breakfast now," she said. "Since today is your first day

"I'm starting to wonder if you really intend to hand the Nixons over to Nyla. Is that why you gave her Kajer Technologies?" Brian asked.The moment his words left his mouth, the atmosphere in the study grew tense.Emerald's gaze hardened, anger simmering beneath the surface. "Brian, I've spent years planning everything for you, and this is how you see me?"Brian stood his ground. "Mom, it's not about what I think. It's about what you did. There are plenty of companies on par with Kajer Tech—why did you have to give her that one? Why Kajer?"Emerald took a steadying breath, forcing down her irritation. "I told you—I don't owe you an explanation. And even if I did, with your current understanding, you wouldn't get it.""If you don't explain this to me, I won't do anything for you anymore," Brian shot back.Emerald slammed her palm on the desk. "Say that again?!"Brian clenched his jaw, silent but visibly seething.The room fell into a heavy silence as mother and son stared each o

Brian's expression darkened, his eyes flashing with something almost sinister. "No matter what, I won't let Nyla inherit the Nixons."Emerald better be using Nyla as a mere pawn. If he found out she was seriously considering making Nyla the successor, he wouldn't hesitate to take action—even if it meant turning against his own mother.Delia failed to notice the change in Brian's demeanor and nodded vigorously. "I'm with you. There's no way we can let Nyla take over!"She had never hated anyone as much as she hated Nyla. Just thinking about the way men—especially the one man she had secretly admired for years—had looked at Nyla at last night's banquet made her seethe with jealousy. She wished Nyla would just disappear.Brian smirked. "Good. That's what I wanted to hear. From now on, she's our common enemy, and we need to work together against her."Delia huffed. "Agreed."Brian, seeing no real plan forming in Delia's mind, inwardly sneered—idiot.Outwardly, he simply said, "I hea

"I'm not doing anything special. What's up? Aren't you supposed to be in a business meeting? How do you have time to call me?" Valarie asked.Brandon replied, "It's all taken care of. My flight is tonight. Want to meet up?"Valarie raised an eyebrow. "What time will you be back in Saintornia?""A little after 11:00 p.m.," Brandon answered.Valarie shook her head. "That's too late. You've been on a business trip for almost a week. You should just go home and rest."Brandon chuckled. "But I really want to see you. How about this? I'll have my driver stop by your place. We can see each other briefly, and then I'll head home. Sound good?"Valarie considered it. His route home would pass by her neighborhood anyway. "Alright. Just call me when you're close. I'm about to have dinner, so I'll talk to you later. Bye.""Okay," Brandon replied.After hanging up, Valarie entered the restaurant.Stefan had reserved a private dining room, and by the time she arrived, he was already inside.

Michelle hung up after delivering her threat.Stefan stood frozen, his body tense with despair.No matter what he did, it seemed he could never truly escape the Snowdens.If it weren't for them, he wouldn't be able to pay for his mother's treatment. Yet, they were the people he hated most. He despised them.He also despised his mother, Lily. If she had never given birth to him, he wouldn't be trapped in this nightmare, stuck in the mud with no way out.And yet… she was the only person who had ever shown him kindness.That fragile thread of family—thin and fraying—still tugged at his heart, holding him back. Even though it hurt, he couldn't bring himself to sever it.…Valarie had just returned home when her mother called her over. She changed into her house slippers and sat beside her."Valarie, when are you and Brandon getting married?" Phoebe asked.Valarie frowned. "Mom, we haven't even discussed that yet.""You're not getting any younger." Phoebe huffed. "You rejected every guy we

The two of them were eight years apart, with different interests and personalities.Some of Stefan's behavior struck Valarie as incredibly immature. But more importantly, she had never seen him in a romantic light.To her, he was more like a younger brother—someone she felt protective of, but not someone she could ever like that way.He should be dating girls his own age, and she should get back to living her own life.With that thought, Valarie accepted the money.Valarie: [Thank you for everything these past few weeks. And… I'm sorry about today.]…Stefan stared at the message on his screen in a quiet park, his lips curling into a mocking smile.Just as Brandon had said—Valarie had only been using him as a distraction. Now that she was back with Brandon, she'd discarded him without hesitation.Taking a deep breath, he deleted the chat and didn't reply.They had always been from different worlds. Now, things were simply returning to how they had been before.Still, he coul

"You did that on purpose, didn't you?" Valarie cut Brandon off, her gaze sharp with accusation.Brandon hesitated, caught off guard for a moment.After a brief pause, he nodded. "Yes, I did. Because I don't like how much attention you're giving Stefan. If it had been any other server handling the bill, would you still be questioning me like this?""There's no 'if.' I chose to be with you again, which means I'm not holding onto anything with Stefan. So, there's no reason for you to single him out," Valarie replied.Brandon's expression darkened slightly. He opened his mouth as if to speak, then held back. "Alright. I understand.""Good. Let's go home," Valarie said, and the car fell into silence.When they finally arrived at the Weir residence, Brandon broke the quiet. "Valarie, don't you think… things between us aren't the same anymore?"They were supposed to be a couple, yet they tiptoed around each other—testing boundaries, afraid to say the wrong thing.Valarie pressed her l

"Alright. I'm about to board. I'll talk to you later," Nyla said.Valarie replied, "Okay, have a great trip."After hanging up, Nyla turned to Damon and Mason, her eyes glowing with happiness.She had dreamed for so long of taking a family trip together. Now, that dream had finally come true.…Valarie and Brandon walked into the restaurant.As they sat down, a server approached with two glasses of water."Good evening, sir, ma'am—" Before the server could finish, his smile faltered.Valarie hadn't expected to see Stefan here. A flicker of surprise crossed her face.Just as she was about to speak, Stefan quickly regained his composure, adopting his usual polite smile. "Good evening. May I take your order? We just received fresh salmon and sea urchin today. I highly recommend trying them."Brandon raised an eyebrow, a faint hint of mockery in his gaze. "We'll take your recommendations. And add an order of Arctic shrimp sashimi as well.""Certainly, sir. Would you like anythin

Michelle frowned. "What the hell are you talking about? I already told my assistant to handle it.""Then why was my mom kicked out of her hospital room in the middle of the night?" Stefan shot back.Michelle's voice grew cold. "Forget about that. I should be asking you. Besides taking a few staged photos with Valarie, have you made any real progress?""What more do you want?" Stefan asked.She smirked. "I want something that will completely ruin her. You know what to do.""Send me 250,000 dollars for medical expenses first, or I'm done doing your dirty work," Stefan demanded.Michelle let out a mocking laugh. "Stefan, you know I can have your mother thrown out of the hospital for good with a single word, right?"He had no right to threaten her.Stefan retorted, "Oh, I believe you. But if you do that, I'll make sure the whole world knows everything you made me do. When that happens, Brandon will never want anything to do with you again.""You!" Michelle clenched her jaw, her fa

"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
