Luana didn't plan to hide anything. She just told it like it was. "I was trying to stay away from Calvert. But Runa insisted I host him. If I didn't, she'd make me pay. So I had to do it."
She was basically saying, "Blame Runa, not me."
Cline sneered, "If you hadn't gotten into Calvert's bed, would she have made you host him?"
He was implying it was her own fault.
Typical Cline—his perfect woman. No matter what she did, he'd never blame her.
Luana decided to keep quiet.
Cline took a step closer, pinning her against the wall. He propped one hand above her head and looked down at her.
"Calvert just publicly called off the engagement to the Moriarty Group. Did you say something to him?"
Calvert called off the engagement?
Luana was stunned. Then she felt like a huge load of blame was bein

"Let's go," she said, stepping down from the stairs.Calvert reached out to help her.He meant to let go once she was off the steps, but as he looked down, he caught sight of the slap mark on her face."What happened?"His usually gentle expression darkened.He reached out to touch Luana's slightly swollen cheek, and a flicker of concern crossed his eyes.Luana was taken aback. Calvert looked upset.He asked again, more sternly, "Who did this?"She hesitated.She didn't think Calvert would really go after his friend's sister just for her.She kept quiet, and Prunella let out a sigh of relief.Calvert was good at reading people. He saw Prunella's relief and immediately got it.No wonder she had been clinging to him when he went to find Luana. She had taken advantage of his absence to hit his date!His cold eyes turned on Prunella. "Miss Adams, you're a guest in your own home, and you just slapp

He turned around and left with his assistant, following Cline.Calvert watched the retreating figures of the Moriarty brothers, surprised that Cline had stepped in to help them.Then he thought again—maybe Mr. Moriarty also looked down on women who played tricks behind others' backs.If he happened to witness it, he would stand up for justice as well.Although he didn't think much of Luana, and although he had just called off the engagement with the Moriarty Group, Calvert didn't think about it further.He shifted his gaze back to Prunella."Apologize," he said.Herbert, seeing Calvert's anger, asked Prunella what had happened.Prunella didn't dare to lie anymore and tearfully admitted that she had slapped Luana out of jealousy.Herbert's initial intention to help Prunella dissipated. He said sternly, "You should apologize."Lonnie was in the banquet hall entertaining the elders. He was still unaware of what

Earlier, Russell had said he left something at the Adams estate and went back to retrieve it.But Gehrmann thought the excuse was flimsy. Russell could have just taken the bodyguard's car back. There was no need for everyone to wait in this remote corner, so far from the Adams estate, just for an assistant.Sure, this assistant had grown up with Cline, but was it really necessary to have so many people waiting around for something so trivial?Gehrmann's unease grew. "Cline, you're not actually falling for Luana, are you?"He expected Cline to deny it, but instead, Cline suddenly replied, "What if I am?"Gehrmann was startled. He sat up straight, his voice tense as he tried to reason with him. "Don't do anything reckless. If you really fall for Luana, her life could be in danger. I know she's not the best person, but I don't want to see any more bloodshed."At those words, the emotions in Cline's eyes vanished.He turned to look at Geh

When Luana woke up from the dream, she felt absurd. How could she have such a dream?She raised her hand and touched her flushed cheeks and warm lips.It must have been because she accidentally kissed his face yesterday, which led to this embarrassing dream.For five years, she had been with him, each time being completely consumed by him. She had grown accustomed to his touch.Now, it was probably just a matter of not having adjusted yet. Given time, it would pass.As she comforted herself with these thoughts, Calvert's call suddenly came through.She picked up the phone and answered, "Mr. Coburn, do you need something?"Calvert felt a bit uncomfortable hearing her formal tone, but he quickly collected himself and replied, "Miss Hammond, Stanley isn't available today. Could you accompany me to the bidding meeting?"Stanley, who was practically inseparable from Calvert, wasn't available?Luana was puzzled but agreed none

After saying this with a meaningful tone, Runa gave Luana a disdainful glance."Not just anyone can attend Moriarty Group's bidding meetings, but Mr. Coburn brought you along. That means he thinks highly of you."She deliberately dragged out the last three words, as if implying, "Not for your work skills, but for something else."Luana caught the sarcasm in her words but felt it was pointless to engage. She pursed her lips and remained silent.Seeing that Luana wasn't responding, Runa's expression cooled for a moment before she put on a gentle, gracious smile again."You've done well. I'll make sure to give you a raise.""No need for a raise. Just approve my resignation," Luana replied bluntly, her tone firm, which left Runa slightly embarrassed.Runa's face turned cold, and she lifted her chin, looking down at Luana."Luana, climbing into Mr. Coburn's favor is a good thing, but it's not something to be proud of."With t

Luana mustered her courage and stopped Gehrmann in his tracks.Gehrmann hadn't expected her to dare block his way, and his expression immediately darkened."What do you want?"He wasn't surprised to see Luana here, but he was taken aback that she had stopped him. He had no idea what she was up to."Mr. Moriarty, do you know where I can find coffee here?"Luana had initially wanted to ask Gehrmann to help her with access, but seeing his sour expression, she quickly changed her request. If he could just tell her where the coffee was, she could figure out how to get back in.Gehrmann tilted his head slightly and glanced behind her. "Isn't it right there?"Luana turned around and stared at the white wall, completely baffled.Was Gehrmann seeing something she wasn't? Did they exist in different dimensions?Gehrmann looked at her as if she were an idiot, stepped forward, and tapped the wall. The door automatically slid open.

Luana was momentarily distracted by his question and replied calmly, "I didn't know. I just picked it randomly."In truth, she did know. He always preferred strong coffee to stay alert before exams.Calvert gave her a thoughtful look. "Have you been studying my preferences?"Luana shook her head. "No, I haven't."Calvert extended his hand. "Creamer?"Without thinking, Luana handed him a small box of creamer.Calvert glanced at the creamer in her hand and raised an eyebrow, a hint of triumph in his expression."Seems like you know I like to add creamer."Luana realized he was testing her and immediately wanted to take the creamer back.But he gently held her hand and said in a warm tone, "Miss Hammond, I need your help."He was holding the coffee and couldn't open the creamer himself, so he gestured with his eyes for her to add it for him.The way he asked her to open the creamer reminded her of Albion, soft

Luana thought for a moment. If she left the lounge, she might run into Cline, so she shook her head again.Calvert gave her a helpless look."I'll go get you something to eat."Without waiting for her to protest, he stood up and left.Given Calvert's status, Moriarty Group treated him with the highest level of hospitality.The dining area he went to was the same one where Cline was seated.Faced with an array of dishes, Calvert wasn't sure what to choose.He pulled out his phone and called Luana. "What do you like to eat?"Luana insisted she didn't want anything, but Calvert urged, "You have to eat something. You'll need to take care of me this afternoon."Reluctantly, she said, "Something easy to digest, then."Calvert's voice softened. "How about some fish, vegetables, and yogurt? What about a main dish?""No, that's enough.""Alright, wait for me."Pleased with her compliance, Calvert hung

"Clarissa..." Albert wept and pleaded, "My mom has cancer, I got fired from my job, and the baby still needs milk. For the sake of our years together, treat me like a beggar and spare me a little help.""If you were truly a beggar, I'd give you some money to send you on your way, but you're not..."A clear voice cut through the air, tinged with exhaustion, coldness, and a hint of ruthlessness. "You're nothing but scum!""Clarissa!""Gag him and get him out of my sight!"At the command, the bodyguards immediately seized Albert and shoved him into the elevator."Humph, this despicable man!"Luana followed the voice and spotted a familiar figure leaning against the bar.The woman had a slender figure, waist-length curly hair, and fair, slender fingers holding a slender cigarette, while her other hand toyed with a wine glass.She tilted her head, staring into the red wine in her glass, as if observing another world from afar

Upon learning of this possibility, Cline simply said, "Thank you," and hung up the phone.He gazed once more in the direction the black luxury car had vanished, now more certain than ever that Dorian had taken his Luana.However, he refused to believe they were husband and wife.Russell arrived with the bodyguards in a hurry, seeing Cline standing in front of the smashed Bugatti.Thinking Cline's car had been in an accident, he quickly approached."Mr. Moriarty, are you alright? Did you take too much sleeping pill and start hallucinating again?"For the past three years, Cline had been plagued by insomnia, clutching two mementos of Luana and struggling to sleep through the night.Russell, worried about his health, had obtained some sleeping pills from Eva.Little did he know, Cline had become addicted to them. Later, Russell found out that the medication could induce hallucinations when taken in excess.It was these hall

Cline's brow twitched, his eyes filled with disdain as he regarded Dorian.He strode quickly to Luana, extending his hand with an unyielding tone, "Come with me."Before Luana could refuse, Dorian swiftly acted, his long arm encircling her shoulder and pulling her tightly into his embrace. A provocative smile played on his lips as he challenged, "On what grounds?"Cline's vision sharpened with pain, witnessing Luana clinging to Dorian, their bodies pressed close. A surge of rage erupted within him."Because I love her!"Cline's voice trembled yet rang out loud and clear, eight years of pent-up emotions bursting forth like a flood breaking its dam.Dorian, noticing the bloodshot eyes and the fervor in Cline's gaze, felt a flicker of realization. He glanced down at Luana in his arms.Her expression was calm, a faint smile curling her lips as if she had just heard an absurd joke, detached and indifferent.Not only did Dorian not l

Dorian rolled his eyes at the scene and impatiently pushed open the car door, stepping out to approach the Bugatti.He bent down and knocked on the window, "Dorothy, get out now."Luana, upon hearing Dorian's voice, froze for a moment before pushing away from Cline, who was still kissing her.Her breathing was slightly labored as she coldly instructed, "Open the door. My husband's here!"Cline's body stiffened. He averted his gaze from Luana and slowly looked at the man outside.Dorian, dressed in a gray suit, was impeccably neat. His handsome face and aristocratic demeanor made him look distinguished and aloof. Cline didn't care about Dorian's appearance, but he was annoyed that Dorian had called her Dorothy, not Luana.Cline swiftly fastened Luana's seatbelt and started the car, speeding out of the parking lot without another word.Dorian watched the Bugatti speed away, a look of frustration crossing his face.He muttered tha

Cline turned on the air conditioning, leaned sideways, and drew closer to Luana.His long, thick lashes lowered as he gazed at the petite Luana, his eyes revealing a longing he had never shown before."Luana..."He uttered her name as if it had taken all his strength.Luana opened her mouth to retort, but Cline suddenly gripped the back of her head with one hand, pressing her into his embrace.He whispered into her ear, "I... miss you so much."For three years, he had thought of her obsessively, to the point of madness, sleeplessness, and even hallucinations from medication.Now that he had found her alive and well, how could he let her go so easily?A flicker of disbelief crossed Luana's previously calm face, followed by a cold sneer in her heart.Would Cline truly miss her? He had never cared before. How could he miss her now?Was it because she was gone, and he couldn't find anyone to replace Runa, that he reme

For the past three years, his heart had felt hollow, a persistent ache that never truly subsided.Now, in this moment of holding Luana close, his restless heart finally found its resting place.To Cline, having someone he longed for still alive was like reclaiming what had been lost.He held Luana tightly, his throat constricting with emotion, unable to utter a word, wishing only to merge her into his very being and feel her presence undeniably.Luana, however, was perplexed by Cline's behavior.It was uncharacteristic of him—cold and distant at their airport encounter, avoiding even a glance, yet now he was uncharacteristically intimate.She wondered if the three years apart had taken a toll on his mental state.Frowning, she struggled to push him away, but Cline easily restrained her wrist with one hand.He spun her around, pinning her against the car door.Before she could speak, Cline captured her lips in a kis

Luana stood outside the door, her fingers unconsciously twisting the hem of her clothes as she contemplated Clarissa's changes over the years.Suddenly, the door creaked open from the inside.Angela, holding a child of about three years old, came into view.The little kid clutched a toy car, its round eyes wide with curiosity as it stared at Luana.Luana's gaze shifted between Angela and the child, a fleeting thought crossing her mind that Angela might be staying with Clarissa and Albert.Suppressing her doubts, she asked, "I'm a friend of Clarissa's. Is she home?"Angela froze, sizing up Luana from head to toe, unable to recognize the elegantly dressed woman with delicate makeup before her.It wasn't until Luana spoke that Angela's pupils contracted sharply, her face draining of color, her lips trembling as she stammered, "Y-y-y-o-u..."Then, as if she had seen a ghost, Angela retreated backward with the child, screaming at th

Dorian had just retrieved his suitcase from the baggage carousel when he spotted Luana approaching.He frowned slightly, his tone laced with displeasure, "Didn't I tell you to wait over there?"Luana rolled her eyes at him. "I was afraid you might grab the wrong luggage."With that, she slipped her phone into her small bag, took the suitcase from Dorian's hand, and began to wheel it away.Dorian, with his long legs, effortlessly kicked another large suitcase toward Luana. "This one's yours too," he said.Luana, though inwardly exasperated, shot a glare at Dorian's retreating figure and pushed both suitcases out of the airport behind him.Once outside, Luana handed the suitcase back to Dorian. "I'm going to meet a friend. Let's part ways here."Dorian tilted his head slightly, regarding her with an expression that seemed to question her intelligence. "You think I came all this way just to see you off?"Luana was speechless again

This meant he was giving her only one chance. If she refused, she would never be able to return home.Luana felt as if a heavy stone had settled in her heart, making it hard to breathe and preventing her from making a decision quickly.Dorian maintained his domineering posture, observing the shifting expressions on her face with a smug confidence, waiting leisurely for her response.Five minutes passed, and Luana took a deep breath before nodding. "Alright, I agree, but it's only a marriage in name."Dorian let out another faint sneer. "What else did you expect?"He picked up the diamond ring, nodded his chin, and gestured for Luana to extend her hand.Reluctantly, she stretched out her hand, and Dorian casually placed the ring on her right ring finger.After slipping the ring onto her finger, Dorian released her hand and looked into her eyes with his deep, dark gaze. "We go to the church tomorrow," he said.With that, he pocketed Dorothy's passport and turned to leave.Luana raised he
