Realizing further questioning was futile, Paul left.After his departure, Ruby resumed packing her belongings. Just as she finished folding her clothes, the doorbell rang.She opened the door to find Leon standing there. Surprise flickered in her eyes before her expression turned indifferent."If you've come to convince me to stay, don't bother. I'm not going back," she said."I'm not here to convince you," Leon replied. "I just want to know why you're resigning. Back in Capitarnia, you promised to work hard and help Nyla complete this project."Ruby frowned. "There's no particular reason. I just think pursuing further studies is more important than this project.""Further studies?" Leon looked at her in disbelief. "You told me before you had no money and needed to work to support yourself."Ruby leaned against the doorframe, her hand tightening slightly. Her tone grew frosty as she retorted, "That's my business. It has nothing to do with you."Her dismissive attitude angered L

After a brief hesitation, Nyla decided to share her suspicions with Damon.Listening intently, Damon frowned and spoke in a low voice. "I understand. I'll have Spencer look into it.""Okay." Nyla sighed, hoping that Ruby had nothing to do with the matter.After dinner, Damon retreated to his study. As soon as he picked up a file, his phone rang."Mr. Sumner, we've received news from Falcon. The real owner behind Nyce Tech... You know him," Spencer reported.Damon's expression remained unchanged as he asked, "Is it Gabriel?""Yes…" Spencer replied."I see. Keep a close watch on Starlite. Gabriel's goal is likely to take over the Wilkie Group," Damon instructed."Understood. Should we inform Mr. Wilkie about this?" Spencer asked.If Nyce Tech acquired the Wilkie Group, it would pose a significant threat to Prospectus Technology."No need for now. Let's see what his next move is. In the meantime, investigate where Sullivan funneled the embezzled funds," Damon said."Sullivan?"

Ruby's breath hitched, and she instinctively denied it. "I don't know what you're talking about!""Ms. Jenner, I'll be at the same café where we met last time, at 2:00 p.m. If you don't show up, I'll have no choice but to submit the evidence to the authorities," Paul said, then hung up without waiting for her response.Clutching her phone, Ruby froze in fear.If she went to meet Paul, she risked losing the money and facing legal action from Prospectus Technology.No... she couldn't let that happen. She had to leave immediately.Steeling herself, she called Paul back. "Mr. Vernon, I'm not free at 2:00 p.m. Can we make it 4:00 p.m. instead?""Sure," Paul replied without hesitation.After hanging up, Ruby quickly grabbed her suitcase and left. She gave her cat to a neighbor, not wanting anything to slow her down.She booked the earliest available flight and headed straight for the airport.…Damon and Nyla were having lunch in his office when Spencer entered hurriedly."Mr. Sum

After being taken to the police station, Ruby knew she couldn't keep hiding the truth, so she confessed everything.She had already anticipated this outcome when making her choices.It seemed her luck had never been good.Born into a family that valued sons over daughters, she had worked hard to get into university and join a lab.Her family, desperate to repay her brother's gambling debts, tried to force her into marrying an old widower from her village.If it hadn't been for Sullivan saving her on several occasions, she might have already ended up living that life.Selling the apartment Sullivan left her was supposed to be her way out—a chance to start fresh in a place where no one knew her.But life, as always, had other plans.Ruby knew she had been selfish and greedy. Still, if her family hadn't pushed her to the brink, she might never have gone down this path.After finishing her confession, she told the officer, "I'd like to see someone."…When Nyla was informed that

As Valarie reflected on their relationship, she became more and more irritated, recalling how she had always been the one putting in the effort.Not only had Tom never given her anything, but he had also shamelessly flirted with other women. How could she have been so blind five years ago to fall for someone like him?"The most important thing is not letting him interfere with your relationship with Brandon," Nyla reminded her.Although Valarie hadn't said as much, Nyla could tell she was serious about Brandon. It was clear she was already thinking about marriage.In Nyla's opinion, while Brandon was young and still maturing, his love for Valarie was genuine—and that was enough."Don't worry. I've been throwing everything Tom sends straight into the trash without telling Brandon," Valarie replied.Nyla paused, then advised, "You might want to mention it to Brandon, just to avoid misunderstandings down the line."Valarie was about to respond when she noticed Brandon approaching.

A flicker of annoyance crossed Gabriel's eyes, but his voice remained composed and gentle. "Jane, provoking Damon doesn't help us. Our focus should be on securing the project we need. Once the company's crisis is resolved, we can address everything else."Jane sneered. "If you were as capable as Damon with a company like Prospectus Technology, do you think I'd have to endure his disdain?"In her mind, Gabriel's lack of success was the root of her frustrations.Gabriel, however, seemed indifferent to her belittling remarks. His expression remained steady and unmoved. "Jane, don't get worked up. We don't want to be late for check-in or submission."With a cold huff, Jane fell silent, though she glanced at Gabriel with veiled contempt. If it weren't for Wilhelm, she would have left him for a husband more suited to her ambitions for the Wilkie Group.At the registration desk, she signed in and handed over the bidding documents.As they finished, her eyes briefly lingered on Prospectu

Prospectus Technology's folder was damaged, its seal clearly tampered with.According to the rules, any bidding documents that were not properly sealed would be automatically voided.Gasps rippled through the room."How did this happen? Did Prospectus Technology really submit an unsealed bid? That's a rookie mistake for a company like them. Surely their team knows better.""Or maybe they were trying to cheat—peek at the lowest bids and adjust theirs. Looks like they botched it.""Whatever the reason, it's against the rules. Prospectus Technology is definitely out of the running now.""This is great news! With Prospectus Technology out, our chances of winning just went up."The crowd's murmurs ranged from confusion to gloating.Onstage, Waylon followed protocol and addressed the room. "Ladies and gentlemen, the bid submitted by Prospectus Technology has been found improperly sealed. As per the regulations, the submission is disqualified."If Prospectus Technology wishes to cont

The Wilkie Group's bid price had already been slashed to the bone. Lowering it further would mean winning the project at a loss.Jane dialed Pedro's number and quietly explained the situation.After a brief silence, Pedro said firmly, "This is the lowest we can go. Don't drop the price any further. A project that loses money isn't worth taking on.""Understood," she replied, though her expression darkened once she hung up.She had spent over a month leading her team through grueling overtime to prepare for this bid. Before arriving that day, she'd promised them bonuses and a celebratory dinner if they won.Now, the odds didn't look good.She sighed in disappointment at the thought.Beside her, Gabriel noticed her mood and spoke gently to comfort her. "Don't worry, Jane. Just because those companies underbid the Wilkie Group doesn't mean they'll win. The Wilkie Group's reputation is much stronger than theirs."The lower bids came from smaller companies, desperate for the project

Jane smiled and praised, "You're such a good boy, Wil. Come here—Mommy wants to tell you something."Hesitant but trusting, Wilhelm slowly moved closer to her.The moment he was within reach, Jane grabbed his collar, her expression dark and menacing. "When I called you earlier, why didn't you come immediately?"Terrified, Wilhelm turned pale, tears brimming in his eyes. "Mommy… I was scared…""Scared of what?" Jane demanded."Scared you'd hit me… Waaaah…" Wilhelm cried.When Wilhelm had been staying with Gabriel, he'd worried he'd never see his mother again.But now, seeing her up close, she seemed frightening—nothing like the gentle mother he used to know.Jane's patience snapped at the sound of his crying. "Shut up! If you keep crying, I'll throw you out!"Wilhelm immediately clammed up, though he couldn't stop the little hiccups that followed. His face was streaked with tears, making him look pitiful.Just then, the door to the room opened, and Wendy walked in carrying som

Embarrassment flickered across Wren's face as she muttered, "I didn't… I just didn't know the situation before, okay?""If you don't know the situation, then don't meddle," Gabriel rebuked.After a moment of silence, Wren stole a glance at Gabriel and softly said, "Gabriel, this time it's my fault. I'm sorry. But Wil absolutely cannot be sent back to Jane. Who knows how she'll treat him? She's already proven she's capable of terrible things."Just thinking about Jane intentionally causing Wilhelm's allergic reaction made Wren's skin crawl. What kind of mother could be so cruel?"I know what I'm doing. From now on, if Jane contacts you, don't respond," Gabriel instructed.Wren quickly nodded. "Okay… I understand…""If there's nothing else, you can go. I have work to do," Gabriel dismissed."Alright… I'll leave now…" Wren answered.As Wren walked out of the villa, she finally let out a sigh of relief.Just as she was about to call her driver, her phone rang.Seeing that it was

Wilhelm froze at Gabriel's stern expression, shrinking behind Wren and peeking at his father with frightened eyes.Without looking at him, Gabriel called for a maid. "Take him to the Wilkies with the driver later."The maid nodded. "Understood."Just as the maid was about to lead Wilhelm away, Wren pulled the boy behind her and snapped, "Gabriel, can't you see how scared he is?"Gabriel finally lifted his gaze to her, his tone icy. "Weren't you the one who brought him to me and insisted I let him see Jane? Now that I've agreed, what more do you want?"Wren stiffened but quickly composed herself. "I only brought him because he was crying so pitifully. That doesn't mean I want him to live with Jane again."She wasn't stupid. It was clear that Wilhelm was better off with Gabriel than with Jane.If the divorce went through, Jane would eventually remarry, and who knew how much Wilhelm would suffer in her new household?At least with Gabriel, Wren could visit Wilhelm often, and he wo

Raymond and Gabriel stayed in the study for over an hour before emerging.By then, Raymond's expression had shifted from initial unease to radiant joy, his face brimming with smiles.It seemed the fortune teller had been right—Wren was indeed his lucky star.Despite his company's brush with bankruptcy, Gabriel not only promised to inject 70,000,000 dollars into it but also agreed to partner with them on future projects.The potential profits were enough to make it impossible for Raymond to hide his grin.Seeing his cheerful demeanor, Wren let out a breath of relief.Setting Wilhelm down from her lap, she turned to Raymond and asked, "So, you reached an agreement?""Yeap. I need to get back to the office, though. I'll have the driver pick you up later," Raymond replied."Alright. Will you be home for dinner?" Wren asked."Of course! Tonight, we'll celebrate properly," Raymond promised.After Raymond left, Wilhelm tugged on Wren's sleeve. "Grandma, when are you going to talk to

"Okay," Wilhelm answered.He accepted the bowl and took a couple of sips, then looked up at Gabriel and asked, "Daddy, where's Mommy?"Upon seeing the cautious look in Wilhelm's eyes, a complex expression crossed Gabriel's face.He crouched down to the boy's level and said gently, "Wil, from now on, you'll live with Daddy. Is that okay?"Wilhelm froze, tears welling up in his eyes. "Daddy, does that mean you don't want Mommy anymore?"Jane's words echoed in his mind—that Gabriel had a bad woman outside and didn't want them anymore.Now that his father didn't want his mother, it wouldn't be long before he didn't want him either, especially if he had a child with that bad woman.Gabriel sighed and spoke softly. "Wil, this is an adult matter that you won't understand. Daddy isn't abandoning Mommy. We're just going to live separately. But no matter what, both of us love you very much.""You're lying!" Wilhelm cried, throwing the bowl to the floor, where it shattered into pieces.H

Looking at Jane's self-righteous demeanor, Gabriel remained expressionless. His gaze was indifferent, as if she were a stranger of no consequence.His lack of reaction agitated Jane even more."Gabriel, why aren't you saying anything? Why?!" she shouted.Gabriel's voice was calm. "Because I think you're pitiful.""Pitiful?!" Jane repeated, then burst into laughter. "Do you think you're any less pitiful than I am? You abandoned your wife to be with Nyla, but has she even spared you a second glance? In the end, you and I are no different—we're both pathetic losers."Gabriel showed no visible reaction but said, "Jane, I'm not like you.""What's so different about you?" Jane demanded."I can make my own choices. You can't. Take this situation, for example—I can ensure you'll never see Wilhelm again, but there's nothing you can do to stop me," Gabriel stated.Jane froze, her laughter faltering. An overwhelming sense of unease gripped her. "What are you going to do?"Gabriel waved h

Although Wilhelm wanted more, he hesitated briefly before obediently putting down his spoon."Okay, Mommy," he said.His compliance sparked a brief flicker of guilt in Jane's eyes. But the feeling vanished as quickly as it had come, replaced by a calm determination.After settling the bill, she led Wilhelm back to the car.As soon as they were on the road, Wilhelm began squirming in his seat, scratching himself furiously. His small face scrunched in discomfort as he complained, "Mommy… I don't feel good. I'm itchy all over…"Jane glanced at him and saw red spots breaking out across his skin."Hold on, Mommy's taking you to the hospital right now," she said.She sped toward the nearest hospital, reaching it in less than ten minutes.…By the time Jane pulled into the ER, Wilhelm's face was covered in hives. He was clawing at himself, leaving red marks all over his pale skin.Jane rushed to unbuckle him and carried him inside, moving quickly toward the emergency desk.A doctor

Wilhelm thought that when Gabriel was home, Jane never hit him without a reason.But ever since his father left, his mother had become unpredictable. Sometimes, even the sound of him making noise while eating would lead to punishment, forcing him to stand in the corner.He missed the mother who would kiss him and speak to him gently. He didn't want the mother who hit him for no reason."But Daddy's out there with another woman now and won't come home," he said.Although he was young, he understood a lot of adult issues.Lately, Gabriel hadn't been around. With Jane's constant hints, Wilhelm had started to believe that Gabriel had left because of a bad woman, choosing her over their family."Mommy, when I grow up, I'll protect you. I won't let any bad woman bully you!" Wilhelm vowed.Tears welled in Jane's eyes at his words, her heart filled with a mix of emotions. Yet, her moment of hesitation lasted only a second before her resolve hardened.The only way to give Wilhelm a comp

Besides, Nyla didn't even like Gabriel. It had always been him chasing her.What was Jane supposed to do—crack open his head and make him stop liking Nyla?Wren frowned, clearly irritated. "Alright, I'm not in the mood to talk about this. Go home," she said, waving Jane off.Jane protested, "Mom, we haven't even discussed how to bring Gabriel back to me and Wilhelm. I need your help.""What do you want me to do?" Wren asked."Later, call Gabriel and tell him Wilhelm has a fever and wants to see him. Get him to come home," Jane requested.Wren hesitated. Gabriel's attitude toward her had grown increasingly cold. If he found out she was conspiring with Jane to deceive him, it could further damage their relationship.Seeing her reluctance, Jane sighed. "Mom, do you really want to watch him chase after Nyla? With the way things are between you two now, do you think Nyla will treat you kindly if they end up together?""That's impossible! Nyla doesn't like him. They won't end up to
