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. S

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

Calvert nodded and walked over to the sofa, gently lowering her down.After sitting up straight, Luana glanced at Calvert and said, "Mr. Coburn, thank you."On the surface, it was a polite expression of gratitude, but the underlying message was clear—she wanted him to leave.Calvert felt a bit frustrated inside, but he kept his expression gentle."Take a few days to rest at home. You don't need to host me for now," he said before turning to leave.As he passed the dining area, he noticed a photo on the liquor cabinet.It was a picture of Luana and Clarissa when they were around seventeen or eighteen, looking young and innocent.He couldn't help but stop and pick up the photo, noticing that it had been cropped.Originally, it must have been a group photo of three people, with someone standing next to Luana, but that person had been cut out.He instinctively thought that the missing person was himself. That thought m

Calvert frowned in thought.Could it be that his brother had approached Luana and said something terrible to her, leaving her completely disillusioned with him?He sent all these questions to Gath. Gath quickly replied with messages."Calvert, I truly don't know how your memory loss happened.""As for Miss Hammond, I've never heard your brother mention her to me, nor have I ever met her.""If it weren't for the photo of you two that was sent to the group chat and spotted by Stanley, I wouldn't even know about your connection."Gath was the kind of person who wouldn't spread rumors if he knew about Calvert and Luana's situation.After confirming that Gath wasn't lying, Calvert put down his phone and called Stanley in.Stanley's expression was calm as he answered Calvert's questions flawlessly, without any slip-ups.Unlike Gath, Stanley was a child adopted by his brother and thus loyal only to him.Calvert understoo

The message was from Mr. Night, who hadn't sent her any messages since she replied with "Let's talk in a few days."She had thought he got bored after playing with her twice and decided to leave her alone.But surprisingly, he had been so obedient, waiting patiently for days before contacting her again.Luana was a bit stunned when she saw the words "Come to Nightfall" on the screen.Although she was very well-behaved, her body really couldn't handle his mischief anymore.After pondering for two minutes, she typed back, "I'm not feeling well these days. Can we wait a bit longer?"As soon as she sent the message, he replied, "Did all that with Calvert mess up your body?"Luana froze at the words.How did he know about Calvert?How did he know she was acquainted with him?And why would he say she had been with Calvert so many times?Luana suddenly remembered the night she stayed in Calvert's presidential suit

Luana had been worried about Clarissa because Albert had tried to dissuade her from visiting his parents' home.Even Albert's parents seemed reluctant to have her come, citing reasons like the poor environment in the suburbs and concerns that Clarissa wouldn't be comfortable there.Luana suspected they might be hiding something. Still, Clarissa thought they were just being considerate, fearing that a bad experience in the suburbs might affect her relationship with Albert.Luana didn't want to overstep, so she kept her concerns to herself.Now that they were already married, it seemed odd to Luana that they still wouldn't let Clarissa visit.Clarissa, however, didn't seem to mind. "Who cares? I don't want to go to some suburb anyway. Albert and I are staying in Los Angeles, and his parents can stay at their place. We don't have to live together, and that means no conflicts. I'm more than happy with that," Clarissa said.Seeing Clarissa's atti

Luana recounted to Clarissa how Travis had threatened her."No wonder Travis brought so many people to the wedding. He was using me to threaten you," Clarissa said, her face filled with self-reproach."Luana, you're so foolish. You shouldn't have risked yourself for me."She gently touched Luana's face, which had become gaunt from worry.Luana had always been beautiful. It seemed that creeps like Travis were always drawn to her.In the past, whenever she was bullied or stalked, she would tell Clarissa and Albion.But this time, facing such danger, she had chosen to bear it alone.She must have wanted to protect Clarissa.Clarissa's eyes were filled with heartache. "Luana, if anything like this happens again, you have to tell me."Although she might not be able to take on those wealthy and powerful men, she could fight tooth and nail to protect Luana.If any of those shameless men dared to harm Luana again, Clariss

Clarissa hoped that Luana would find someone who truly cared for her, and then she would be at ease."Yeah, there will definitely be someone in the future," Luana replied, masking the sadness that flickered in her eyes with a nod, pretending everything was fine.In reality, there was no future for her.Albert quickly finished cooking and called them to help bring the dishes to the table. They turned off the TV and stood up.After the three of them finished dinner, Clarissa went to the bathroom, while Albert walked to the kitchen and answered a phone call.Luana was packing up the leftover food on the table, intending to put it in the fridge, when she heard Albert's voice just before she pushed open the kitchen door."Honey, wait for me for another half month. I'll go back once I've sorted things out. It's too risky to go too often..."The kitchen door had decent soundproofing, so only this sentence was faintly audible, and the rest wa

Hearing Calvert's crisp and pleasant voice, Luana forced her eyes open."Mr. Coburn, what's the matter?" she asked."Are you feeling any better?" Calvert inquired.Luana gave a soft "Mm," as a response.Seeing her cold demeanor, Calvert felt a pang of disappointment, but he quickly adjusted his mood."Miss Hammond, Coburn Group is hosting a celebration tonight. Would you do me the honor of being my date?" he asked.Luana was taken aback and immediately refused without thinking. "I don't want to go," she said flatly.Calvert didn't seem upset by her rejection and continued in a gentle tone, "Just come as a favor to me, okay?""Why do you need me when you have Stanley to look after you?" Luana replied indifferently.Calvert explained, "Stanley made a minor mistake, and I sent him back to Washington."Luana had thought Calvert would head back to Washington after the bidding. She was surprised to learn not only that h

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

Clarissa had dreamed countless times that Luana was doing well in another world, much better than in the real one.She thought it was better that Luana didn't come back.After all, everyone must die eventually. Luana had just taken an earlier step.When her life ended, she would also go to that world to find Luana.Just as Luana had said in her dream, she would build a house there, waiting to welcome Albion and Clarissa when their lives in this world came to an end.Then, like after leaving the orphanage, the three of them would live in the same house, loving and taking care of each other.This way, the regrets they left in this life could be mended in another world...Clarissa came to her senses and looked at the letter Luana had left her, softly responding, "Alright..."She would live this life to the fullest and then find Luana in another world.

Gath traced the belt marks on her cheek with his fingertip in a mocking tone, "Came to see you... You've been doing so 'well' after leaving the Titlington family."Eva avoided his touch and coldly said, "You've seen enough, now go. I need to rest."Gath suddenly gripped her chin with a force that made her wince, "Eva, you're getting bold, huh? Speaking to me like that."Eva winced, but Gath let go as suddenly as he had grabbed her. She looked up and caught him avoiding her gaze."Gath, I'm hungry. Could you get me something to eat?" Eva softened her voice."Who do you think you are to order me around?" Gath raised an eyebrow."Someone you've been with. Does that count?" Eva fired back.Gath fell silent for a moment, then got up and left the ward.Eva watched him leave, her smile fading, her eyes cold and filled with loathing.'Gath, if you ever fall for me, I'll make you pay for all the pain you've caused!'No soo

"Do you know who she is? She's Sidney from the Preston family! You can't afford to tangle with her, so scram—"Zander let out a cold laugh, and the others joined in. "What a coincidence, she's exactly who we're looking for."Amid their eerie laughter, the man immediately abandoned Sidney, pushing through the crowd to flee.But he had barely taken two steps when a man in a black mask yanked him back.With a judo throw, the black-masked man sent him crashing to the ground, rendering him unconscious on the spot.Zander turned to Cline, "Sir, what shall we do with her?"Cline lowered his head, massaging his right hand that was oozing blood, as hatred surged within him.He was the cause of Luana's fatal injury, and now Sidney and Runa, who had humiliated her, deserved no less.He narrowed his eyes, his voice icy, "First, give her a hundred slaps, then..."He paused, his tone turning vicious, "Throw her into 'Nightfall'

Cline entered the study, unlocked a drawer, and retrieved a gold-bronze mask and a bottle of grey plant juice.He picked up a brush and carefully painted a wolf pattern on his neck.After finishing, he made a call.The recipient answered promptly, addressing him respectfully.Cline, gazing at the night outside, said coldly, "Tonight's targets are Sidney and Runa."The recipient responded promptly, "Yes, I'll come to pick you up right away."Cline hung up, his eyes cold and filled with malice as he looked at the manor lit by streetlights.Through the lights, he seemed to see the old mansion of the Preston family, and his eyes blazed with hatred.'Sheila, I promised my father I wouldn't kill you, but you've destroyed what I care about, so I'll destroy what you care about.''If you want to play, I'll play along...'Cline rewound the blood-soaked bandage on his hand and put on a pair of black leather gloves.He

Back then, he was young and naive, thinking that by attempting suicide, his mother would show him some kindness.But he soon realized that not all women who have given birth deserve the title of "mother."Ironically, the woman who wanted to torture him to death wasn't a wicked stepmother but his biological mother.The Moriarty family treated him with care, while the Preston family, his mother's side, devised ways to torment him.He had once doubted whether he was his mother's biological son, but investigations proved otherwise. He was her son, a plaything she intended to torture to death.His mother's method of torture was to force him to live and watch everything he cared about be destroyed before his eyes.Cline's lips curled into a bitter smile. He had once believed that all mothers loved their children and had yearned for maternal love.Now, he knew better. Cline lifted his hate-filled eyes and coldly regarded the woman in the whe

When Eva was impersonating Cline's lover, she was also terrified of being tortured to death like Valda.But she mustered the courage to do so because, since Gath sent people to rape her, she had felt she should disappear from the world.It was Cline who reached out to her, telling her not to rush revenge and that it would eventually succeed.This gave her the courage to live on.With Cline's support, Eva traveled far to study medicine.Cline had given her the strength to start anew, and so she remained devoted to him.But she hadn't anticipated that her initial intention was to protect Luana by keeping a low profile, only to inadvertently drag her into trouble.Eva lowered her dim eyes, striving to suppress her guilt, and looked up at Cline."Luana, do it!" she urged.The worst that could happen was losing her life, which was nothing to fear.Cline glanced at Eva, his icy gaze shifting back to Sheila
