2025-02-09 18:00:43His eyes burned with raging fury, and his voice was icy cold.
Luana was forced to meet his furious gaze, unable to look away.
She was terrified of this version of Cline but had no idea how to explain herself.
She had lied to him that day, saying she had just met Calvert, because she was afraid of revealing Calvert's past with her.
She hadn't expected Cline to find out the truth so quickly, nor had she anticipated that he would confront her about it.
She had always thought Cline didn't care about her, so he wouldn't pay much attention to anything related to her.
But she had underestimated him. If he could find out whether she had slept with Travis, then naturally, he could uncover this too.
However, if Calvert found out she had revealed their past, he wouldn't let her off easily.
With that in mind, Luana pressed her lips together and refused to explain.
Facing Calvert's ruthless methods was still better than being misunde

Luana stumbled over her words, trying to explain. "I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to lie to you before. Albion—no, Calvert—he and I, we...""It doesn't concern me."Cline cut her off coldly. "I came to you because I can't stand being lied to. Now that I know the reason, it doesn't matter anymore."His words felt like a bucket of ice water poured over her, chilling her to the bone.All the things she wanted to say to him were stuck in her throat, unable to come out.She forced herself to nod calmly. "Alright. Then... take care, Cline."As soon as she finished speaking, tears welled up in her eyes and spilled over. She quickly turned around so he wouldn't see.Behind her, she heard the sound of the door opening and closing. Without a moment's hesitation, he left the lounge.Luana glanced back at the closed door, feeling as if a knife had sliced through her heart, leaving it hollow and aching.Her legs felt weak, an

"Mr. Moriarty, I cross-checked the timeline of Albion's car accident and Miss Hammond's decision to sell herself. Both events happened on the same night.""That night, after Miss Hammond took Albion to the hospital, she went to sell herself to raise money for his surgery. She had no time to undergo reconstructive surgery."Hearing this, the discomfort and unease in Cline's heart gradually dissipated.The tightness he had felt that night, the kind that only a first-time experience could bring, was genuine.She hadn't lied to him about that. But...His cold gaze returned to the documents in front of him.Amnesia...Cline remembered when he had first forced Luana to sign the lover's agreement. She had refused at first.But after a trip to Washington, she had signed it without hesitation.She must have found out about Calvert's amnesia and signed it out of spite.In other words, she had been with him reluctantly all a

When Runa saw it was Gehrmann, her expression softened.She reined in her temper and pointed at the security guard, addressing Gehrmann. "Gehrmann, I want to see Cline, but he won't let me in."The guard, seeing that she knew Gehrmann, finally believed her earlier claim.Was this woman really Mr. Moriarty's fiancée?If so, he had just offended the future lady of the Moriarty family!The guard glanced at Gehrmann, who was casually observing the scene, and thought, 'This is it. My high-paying job is gone!'But to his surprise, Gehrmann patted his shoulder and said, "You did it well. I'll give you a bonus at the end of the year.""Gehrmann, how could you—"Runa's words were cut off as Gehrmann coldly interrupted her."He's just following Cline's orders.""Not only do you fail to understand our employees, but you also yell at them. That's incredibly rude."Gehrmann had seen her earlier outburst.

Gehrmann had just stepped into the CEO's office when he saw Cline, hands in his pockets, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the building below.The afterglow of the setting sun cast a light on him, giving off an indescribable sense of loneliness."Cline," he called out, but Cline didn't respond.Gehrmann walked over and followed his gaze, looking down to see Calvert carrying Luana into the car."They don't give a damn about us!" he muttered under his breath.One was Cline's ex-lover, and the other had once been considered for a marriage alliance with their sister.It was one thing that they were together, but they had the nerve to be all lovey-dovey right under the nose of the Moriarty Group."Do you think he'll marry her?"Cline suddenly asked, startling Gehrmann.He took a moment to realize Cline was talking."No way. The Coburn family would never agree to Calvert marrying someone

"Mr. Coburn, welcome home."Lois, the maid waiting in the villa, quickly greeted Calvert as he walked in.Calvert nodded and instructed her, "Go get a clean set of pajamas."Lois glanced at the girl in his arms but didn't dare ask any questions. She simply replied, "Yes, sir," and went to find the pajamas.Calvert laid Luana on the guest bedroom bed and looked at her peaceful face. The possessiveness he felt eased a little.He reached out and gently tousled her hair. A softness was in his eyes that he himself didn't even realize.He sat by the bed and watched Luana for a while before letting Lois in to change her clothes.After that, Calvert went to the bathroom to freshen up.When he came back to the guest room, he saw Luana had turned over in her sleep. He breathed a deep sigh of relief.When Luana slept, she was so still it was like she wasn't breathing at all. Calvert had been worried something might happen to her wh

Luana felt like Lois had probably misunderstood something, which was why she closed the door.Thinking of this, she became even more uncomfortable and quickly forced herself to sit up.Leaning against the headboard, she asked Calvert a bit awkwardly, "Could you take me home?"But Calvert didn't respond. He frowned deeply and asked, "Do you have any other health issues besides heart disease?"Luana's expression instantly dimmed as she felt he was doubting her. "I don't have any other diseases.""Then why are you struggling just to sit up?" Calvert pressed.Luana was taken aback. No matter how well she tried to hide it, she couldn't escape Calvert's notice."I'm just weak. I lose strength when I get tired.""Just weak?"His tone was full of skepticism, which made Luana feel uneasy.She turned cold and retorted, "Do you need to hear about a terminal illness from me before you'll believe me, Mr. Coburn?"Calver

"Could you please, Mr. Coburn?"Luana added, as if worried he might refuse.Seeing how eager she was to leave, Calvert didn't push any further.He handed the breakfast tray to Luana. "Eat something first, and then I'll take you home."Luana wasn't very hungry, but hearing that he'd take her home, she immediately took the tray.After finishing her breakfast, she struggled to change back into her own clothes.She had worn a business suit to the bidding event yesterday. The loose trousers conveniently hid her swollen legs.Once she was dressed, Calvert walked back in. She was thinking about how to ask him to help her downstairs when he seemed to read her mind.He walked over, pulled back the covers, and picked her up in his arms.Luana was taken aback for a moment, but he calmly said, "If you could walk, you wouldn't need me to take you."His words shattered Luana's little secret, making her feel a bit embarrassed.

Calvert had been polite to Gehrmann, but the repeated provocations were starting to get on his nerves.He pretended not to hear Gehrmann's words and stood his ground, as if daring Gehrmann to make the first move.Seeing this, Gehrmann's face turned cold instantly. "Mr. Coburn, Cline, is here to propose to Miss Ortega. And you dare to block his way?"So Cline was proposing to Runa...Were they getting married?Luana's face gradually turned pale.It felt like her whole body was being torn apart, and the pain made it hard for her to breathe.She had thought she could move on from Cline just like she had from Albion.But hearing that he was proposing to Runa, it hurt more than she expected.The pain made her want to rush to him, hug him, and stop him from proposing.But her rational side told her she had no right to do that. In Cline's eyes, she was nothing.She was just a substitute for Runa, someone he used t

Luana stared at her reflection in the mirror. Her resemblance to Dorothy grew day by day, and fear began to gnaw at her heart.She had already been a stand-in once. How could she bear to become one again, especially for her sister?Accompanied by a caregiver, Luana visited a hair salon and had her hair extended to waist-length, styled in the familiar waves she once wore.Dorian said nothing when he saw her like this, but after she fell asleep, he took a pair of scissors and cut off her hair.Luana was terrified, nearly fainting from the shock.Dorian, however, propped his chin on his hand with a nonchalant expression and said, “Who said you can do that?”Luana gaped at him, unable to contain her frustration. "Dorian, are you crazy…?"Dorian let out a soft chuckle. "Only now figuring that out?"Speechless, Luana took a deep breath and tried to reason with him."I'm not Dorothy. I'm Luana. Can you stop d

Luana had long harbored such suspicions in her heart.If her mother had not passed away, Dorothy would not have had to flee with her across different places.Her mother and sister must have experienced some terrifying events back then.Thinking of how George had not mentioned her father once, Luana couldn't help but ask again, "And my father...?"Before she could finish, George spread his hands helplessly, "Sorry, that's all I know."Luana stopped pressing George for more information, but her gaze took on a more inquisitive hue.George, an internationally renowned cardiologist, had gone to such lengths for her sister—what exactly was their relationship?George placed the photo frame on the bedside table and, noticing Luana's scrutinizing look, guessed her thoughts."Dorothy and Dorian have been close friends of mine for many years..." he offered a brief explanation, yet said nothing of the conflict between Dorian and Doro

"After he replaced you, he saw a man being deeply affectionate toward you when he arrived."To ensure your sister's heart would only be yours, he secretly switched you out, letting your sister take your place in the cremation..."Once you were replaced, I found you hadn't suffered brain death and immediately rushed to save you, performing the heart transplant surgery..."Luana fell silent for a long while after George's account. So this was how she survived. She wasn't an orphan after all.She had a sister... A sister who had given her heart to save her.Yet, Luana still had many questions.She didn't understand why her sister had been fleeing with her abroad.And why, according to George, her sister was eager to end her life not just to save her but also to escape Dorian. What had happened between them that drove her sister to end her life to avoid him?Her face etched with confusion, Luana struggled to ask George, but he coul

When Luana heard the mechanical female voice again, she felt a wave of despair. Her tears flowed even more fiercely.She wanted to get up and rush back to them immediately, but she couldn't move at all...Dorian, seeing the urgency and despair in Luana's eyes, couldn't help and said, "You've been in a coma for two years. Maybe they've changed their phone numbers."His words kindled a flicker of hope in Luana. Yes, after being unconscious for so long, many things must have changed, and changing phone numbers was entirely possible.She forced herself to sit up, clinging to this hope, and asked Dorian again, "How... much longer... until I recover?"Dorian, casually playing with his phone, replied indifferently, "I'm not a doctor. How would I know?"Luana was taken aback by his words, tightly pursed her lips, and stopped bothering him.Dorian sat for a while, finding it dull, and got up to leave.That night, Luana's dreams were no

Dorian spoke slowly, "I respected her last wish. When you were sent to be cremated, I replaced you and transplanted her heart into your body. George said even with a new heart, you might not survive, but you did... Only... you survived, and she took your place, lying forever in the cold cemetery..."His eyes dimmed as he spoke, his entire being shrouded in sorrow.Luana was utterly confused, blinking to signal Dorian to continue.But Dorian fell silent. His gaze shifted to her heart area, a hint of regret surfacing in his eyes."Have you ever deeply loved someone?" he abruptly changed the subject, posing a strange question.This caused Luana to fall silent, her expression turning somber.She might have once, but when Cline let Runa answer her call on the day of her death, she had given up on that feeling entirely..."Was it the man named Albion?" Dorian asked further.Luana was startled, surprised that Dorian knew about Albion.

He set down the mirror, leaned back in the armchair, and propped his leg up, speaking with interest, "Luana, you're quite intriguing."Luana was taken aback. This man knew her name, indicating he knew her, yet she had no recollection of him. Who on earth was he?The man leaned forward slightly, his deep black eyes fixed intently on Luana's face. "Listen carefully, I am—"He paused, then his thin lips parted again. His clear voice reached Luana's ears, "Dorian Lamont."Dorian, Dorian... Luana searched her memory for this name but found nothing.She stared into his eyes, filled with confusion, eager to understand more.However, the man had no more to say. He rose and left the room.Shortly after he exited, a blonde, blue-eyed female caregiver entered.While assisting Luana in wiping her body, she chattered about something akin to a miracle, then left after cleaning up, without elaborating further.Once alone, Luana g

She quickly lowered her eyelashes, blocking out that scorching gaze.The man stared at her for a while, and upon noticing the flutter of her lashes, he confirmed she was truly awake.He straightened up, said nothing, and turned to leave, soon returning with an elderly man.The old man had golden hair and blue eyes, his head full of white hair. Dressed in a white suit, he looked spirited and elegant.The man led the elderly gentleman in, raised his slender finger, pointed at Luana on the bed, and asked with a frown, "George, how did she wake up?"George?Luana was taken aback. Eva had mentioned that Cline had contacted a renowned international heart specialist for her, and that expert was named George. Could this be him?George didn't respond to the man's question. Instead, he activated the medical equipment and began a full-body examination of Luana.His expression was focused, his eyes filled with disbelief.His reactio

Cline's face stiffened instantly. The body he had been barely holding together suddenly collapsed.Yes, Luana loved Albion, not him. What right did he have to stay here?He remembered how Luana had repeatedly asked him not to mess with her in the past...Since she despised him so much, if he didn't let Aibion be alone with her for a while, she would only hate him more.Thinking this, Cline slowly stood up and walked away without looking back.Calvert watched Cline's figure disappear, then turned back. He gently traced Luana's photo on the tombstone."Luana, forgive me for not telling him the truth—that you actually loved him... I just wanted to punish him for being so cruel to you... But please, don't blame me, okay?"With that, he kissed the tombstone one last time."Luana, I've passed the Coburn Group to my cousin and given all my personal assets to Clarissa. I... can come to stay with you now."Calvert took out

Calvert managed a calm smile, "Don't worry. I'm just fulfilling my promise to take care of you. But I have to manage the Coburn Group, so I won't be able to look after you in person. I can only support you financially."He lowered his eyes, filled with guilt, "I should have taken care of you both as soon as I returned to the Coburn Group, but my amnesia made you both suffer for five years..."Clarissa pushed the folder back, "I can't accept these. I can earn money myself."Calvert insisted, "Take it. Consider it compensation for my regrets over the years." With that, he got up and left."Where are you going?" Clarissa called out.Calvert turned back, his smile making her uneasy, "To visit her.""Albion, I'm the only family you have left. Don't do anything foolish," Clarissa's voice was choked with emotion.Calvert waved his hand without turning around and walked away.He bought a bunch of flower and went to the cemetery. In the
