Jane told the maid, "I understand. You can head back first. I'll check if Wilhelm is asleep, then I'll go over."The maid nodded. "Alright, Ms. Wilkie."Jane went upstairs, placed the drug in her bag, changed her clothes, and headed for Pedro's residence.Knowing that Pedro was in the study, she didn't hurry to see him. Instead, she went to the kitchen."Grandpa loves the tea I make, so I'll brew a pot and bring it to him," she told the maids.She prepared the tea and then personally carried it to the study.After knocking on the door and entering, Jane was met with Pedro's cold, piercing gaze.She paused for a moment, then walked over and set the tea on the table with a smile. "Grandpa, who upset you?"Pedro sneered, grabbing a document and throwing it onto the table. "Take a look for yourself!"Jane poured him a cup of tea and handed it to him. "Grandpa, please have some tea first."Before she could finish speaking, Pedro suddenly knocked the cup from her hand.The hot tea

Gabriel was the owner of Nyce Tech?If anyone else had told Jane this, she would have dismissed it as nonsense. But since Pedro mentioned that the document came from Damon, she knew it was the truth.However, now that Gabriel owned Nyce Tech, there was no longer any need for her to pursue Pedro. The market value of Nyce Tech far exceeded that of the Wilkie Group.Thinking of this, Jane felt a brief flicker of joy, but her expression quickly darkened.She had added the drug she brought with her into the tea she made for Pedro. If he had drunk it...Panicking, she rushed to the Wilkie residence.As she entered the living room, she saw a maid carrying the teapot she had sent to the study earlier, heading toward the kitchen.Jane quickly stopped the maid, breathless. "Has Grandpa drunk the tea yet?"The maid, looking confused, shook her head. "No, Mr. Wilkie said he was going to bed and that the tea might cause insomnia. He had someone bring him a glass of warm milk instead.""Oh.

The more Pedro thought about it, the more disappointed he became.Seeing the disappointment on his face, the butler deduced that the tea had indeed been tampered with."Mr. Wilkie... what do we do about this?" he asked.Pedro took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Pretend you know nothing. Don't tell anyone.""Understood," the butler replied.…Jane thought no one knew about the drug she had slipped into Pedro's tea. After getting home, she poured the tea out and smashed the teapot into the trash.Once everything was handled, she let out a sigh of relief, sat back down on the sofa, and began to reflect on her situation with Gabriel.She hadn't considered divorce before. Now that she knew he was Nyce Tech's owner, divorce was out of the question.As long as she remained Gabriel's wife, she would still have a claim to half of Nyce Tech. If they divorced, she would have nothing.She had been married to Gabriel for five years and even had a child with him. For him to try to pay h

Eddie was silent for a moment before dialing Gabriel's number. "Mr. Hackett, Ms. Wilkie is downstairs at Nyce Tech and wants to see you."Soon after, Eddie hung up and told Jane, "Mr. Hackett is at Villa No. 1 in Fantas Paradise."Jane smirked. "Thank you, Mr. Morrison."She then got into the car and left.…Jane pulled up to Villa No. 1 in Fantas Paradise and couldn't help but feel conflicted as she gazed at the luxurious villa.A few years ago, when Fantas Paradise was first put on the market, many tried to purchase Villa No. 1, with offers reaching up to 100,000,000 dollars.Despite the lucrative offers, the owner refused to sell it.At the time, rumors circulated that the villa's real owner was the boss of Nyce Tech, though no one knew who that was.Eddie, the general manager of Nyce Tech, attended numerous social events. Countless people tried to inquire about the company's owner, but he never revealed a thing.Jane never imagined that the owner of this villa would turn

Jane's anger flared as she stared into Gabriel's calm eyes. "You've been plotting this all along, haven't you?"Gabriel smiled. "Jane, you're a little smarter than Theo, but you're still not cut out for business."After all, he had only set a trap, and she had foolishly walked right into it.Jane clenched her hands tightly, leering at Gabriel as she said through gritted teeth, "Gabriel, you're cruel!""Same to you," Gabriel quipped.After a brief silence, Jane gradually calmed down."Gabriel, everything you've done is to swallow up the Wilkie Group. But now my grandfather has teamed up with Prospectus Technology. You'll never get your hands on it!" she hissed."If I can't have it, so be it. I never really wanted it anyway," Gabriel replied.His current target was Prospectus Technology. His goal was to bankrupt the company and take Nyla from Damon.As for the Wilkie Group, without Prospectus Technology, it was just another paper tiger, like the Sumner Group.Jane asked again,

The suffocating sensation gripped Jane like a vice. Her face flushed as she reached up, struggling to pry Gabriel's hand off her. Her efforts, however, were futile.Gabriel's smile deepened as he watched the pain twist her expression. "The Wilkies have already abandoned you. If you know what's good for you, sign the divorce papers, take the compensation I'm offering, and leave. Otherwise, you'll walk away with nothing."He released her, tossing her aside carelessly like discarded trash. Without sparing her another glance, he turned and walked away.Just as Gabriel was about to return to his work in the study, his phone rang. It was Wren."Gabriel, your stepfather's company is in trouble… He's threatening to divorce me now… What should I do?!" Wren's voice was frantic, panic clear in her tone."What does his company's trouble have to do with his wanting a divorce?" Gabriel asked, his voice cool and uninterested.Wren gritted her teeth, clearly reluctant. "I caused a scene at Prosp

"Mr. and Mrs. Wilkie, Mr. Sumner said he's not seeing anyone today. Please go back," the servant informed them.Raymond's expression darkened.This wasn't simply a refusal to see guests—it was clear they didn't want to see them at all.He had just witnessed Theo being escorted inside moments earlier.Forcing a smile, he said, "It's fine. We'll wait here. If Mr. Sumner changes his mind, please let us know."The servant's expression remained indifferent as he replied, "Suit yourselves."With that, the door was shut in their faces.Wren frowned. "He refuses to see us. Why are we still waiting here? It's freezing cold...""Shut up!" Raymond snapped, his voice frigid. "If it weren't for your foolish actions, I wouldn't be begging Damon to forgive us. From now on, stay out of matters involving Jane and Gabriel. Don't show up in front of Nyla again, or I'll divorce you!"Wren stiffened, unable to respond. She could only glare at Raymond, her emotions tangled between anger and helples

Raymond scoffed. "Wife? Not for much longer.""Are you really going to divorce me?!" Wren stared at Raymond, her eyes wide.Though in her 50s, Wren had taken excellent care of herself and appeared to be in her early 30s.When they first married, Raymond hadn't been drawn to her looks. Instead, he had married her because a fortune teller had told him that Wren would bring him good fortune.The first two years of their marriage had been prosperous for Raymond's career. His business had expanded rapidly, growing several times in size.Now, however, because of Wren's foolishness, his company was on the verge of bankruptcy.On top of that, Raymond had been seeing a mistress, planning to make her his official partner. Wren had to step aside."We've been married for years, but if it weren't for the mess you caused this time, I would never have considered divorce. This is all on you," Raymond blamed her.Seeing Raymond's cold, heartless attitude, Wren fell silent for a long time. Final

"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
