2025-03-14 18:00:22Calvert said, "Luana's back, but she doesn't want to see me."
Clarissa rolled her eyes again. "After how rough you were with her, why would she want to see you?"
Calvert's eyes turned red again. Yeah, even though it wasn't him who had laid a hand on her, it had been his own brother.
No matter how you looked at it, he was still partly to blame. It was only natural that Luana would hate him now.
But what really hurt wasn't that she hated him—it was that she said she had moved on and didn't love him anymore...
Clarissa didn't know the full story between the two, but seeing Calvert like this, she assumed Luana had given him a good scolding.
Back when they used to fight, Luana would get mad and avoid him, and he'd end up looking just like this, waiting outside her door.
In the end, it was always Clarissa who'd step in, let Albion in, and watch the two of them hug and make up.
But this time was different. It wasn't something th

Clarissa breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that Luana only had a slight fever and nothing serious.She sat on the edge of the bed, helped Luana sit up, fetched the fever reducers, and poured a glass of water.After Luana took the medicine, she looked up at Calvert, who stood by the bed like a statue, and said, "You should go."Calvert's heart tightened, feeling as if something had blocked his airway, making it hard to breathe.She hadn't asked him to leave earlier because Eva was there, probably fearing Eva would tell Cline.She cared about Cline's opinion but not about his own feelings. In her heart, Cline truly mattered more than he did.The woman who once had only him in her heart had suddenly pushed him aside and placed another man there.How could Calvert accept that? How could Albion accept that?With red eyes, he stared intently at Luana's pale face and pleaded, "Luana, give me one more chance..."Luana's f

"Yep," Clarissa nodded, pausing for a moment before telling Luana the exact amount. "Two hundred thousand."Her family was in debt for two hundred thousand dollars. Albert had just informed Clarissa and rushed back to settle the debt without even consulting her."He used his own money, not mine..." Clarissa added, sensing Luana's concern.But to Luana, that statement felt a bit off.Albert had bought their marital home, and Clarissa had been the one helping with the mortgage payments. Yet after they got married, he hadn't handed over the financial reins to her.If Luana knew that Clarissa's earnings were not only covering the mortgage but also the household expenses, she would probably be even more upset.Clarissa had actually withheld some of the changes that occurred after their marriage, fearing that Luana would worry.Seeing Luana's annoyed expression, Clarissa decided to lay everything out. "Albert has changed a bit after we got

Clarissa hurried downstairs, only to find several luxury cars still parked outside.Some windows were rolled down, revealing bodyguards in dark suits sitting inside. She immediately recognized them as Calvert's men.She had thought Calvert had left already, but he was still waiting there. His persistence was something Clarissa had to admire.She walked over and knocked on the window of the first car, but there was no response.Instead, a bodyguard got out of the car behind it."Mr. Coburn said he wants to be alone. Please don't disturb him," the bodyguard said.Clarissa didn't say anything and turned to leave. Just then, the window of the first car rolled down."Clarissa."He still called her by her name, just like when they were kids, and he was as respectful as ever.Clarissa stopped and glanced back at him. His eyes were bloodshot, clearly from crying.He had always been aloof in front of others, but around Lua

After that, Luana never came to find him again, and he was sent by Manfred to undergo training.It took about three years, but with his natural talent, he managed to absorb all the knowledge he needed.When he returned to the Coburn family, he took over the position of CEO from Manfred.At that time, his father, who had been in a vegetative state, hadn't yet woken up, and Manfred had become the chairman.Manfred only lasted a year in the position before he passed away.Not long after, his father finally awoke.Now, the chairman of the Coburn Group is his father, who has only been awake for about a year and naturally doesn't know about the things Manfred did.Recently, Calvert sensed something was off but didn't ask his father.Shortly after his father awoke, he testified in court and sent the uncle who had kidnapped their family to prison.Now the Coburn family has fully regained control, but with such a la

Eva sat in the driver's seat, glaring at Runa with irritation. What an idiot! She had no intention of dealing with Runa. After finishing her reverse, she stepped on the gas and drove away.Runa hadn't expected Eva to be so brazen and was so angry that she clenched her fists, glaring at the speeding car.This Eva—she was just asking for trouble. Runa was determined to make her life miserable in Los Angeles!Runa brushed her straight hair aside and turned to walk into the estate.However, the security guard at the entrance blocked her way."Miss, you can't just go in here," he said.This time, Runa had learned her lesson and didn't make a scene. She simply said coldly, "Mr. Moriarty called me here."The guard replied with an equally cold expression, "Let me verify that."Runa's face darkened instantly. She hadn't expected the guard to check.She told him not to bother and took out her phone to call Cline.Afte

Luana nodded gently in response.Seeing that she didn't want to talk about it, Sabrina didn't press further.She took the handover document from Luana, signed her name on it, and said, "Just hand over everything to me."Without any hesitation, Luana handed over the keys to the database, customer information, and some confidential files to Sabrina.After the handover was complete, Luana got up and headed to the HR department to complete her resignation procedures.Before she could leave the office area, she ran into Joan, who was carrying a stack of documents."Oh, isn't this Mr. Coburn's new favorite? What are you doing here?" Joan's face was full of sarcasm. "Oh, I remember now. Mr. Coburn went back to Washington and didn't take you with him. You got dumped and have nowhere to go, so you had to come back?"Hearing Joan's harsh voice, Sabrina couldn't help but interject, "Luana is here to resign."Joan's face turned sour instan

Albert's hometown was in the suburbs of Los Angeles, just a three-hour drive away, so his explanation made sense. But..."Your sister?"Luana wondered why she had never heard of Albert having a sister.Albert pointed to the woman waiting in the gynecology area and said, "That's her. She's pregnant and couldn't come to the wedding, so you probably haven't met her. Clarissa knows about her; she must have just forgotten to tell you..."The last part of his sentence carried a hint of sarcasm, as if mocking the closeness between Luana and Clarissa.Hearing this, Luana didn't press further, but her gaze toward Albert was no longer as gentle and friendly as before.She turned and walked toward the elevator, but instead of closing the doors immediately, she hid in the corner and kept an eye on the gynecology area.Albert, thinking Luana had left, turned and waved to the pregnant woman in the waiting area.She quickly walked over, and t

At the sound of Clarissa's voice, Albert's action of feeding water paused for a moment, and the pregnant woman also visibly started.As if they had rehearsed it in advance, they quickly regained their composure. Albert first put down the water pot, stood up, and walked over to Clarissa."How did you come here?"Clarissa glanced at him indifferently. Usually, when they ran into each other on the street, he would call her "honey" first, but he didn't today.Her eyes darkened as she looked at the pregnant woman on the hospital bed, feeling an aversion that made her reluctant to respond.Seeing Clarissa's hesitation, Luana quickly stepped in to explain, "I mentioned it to Clarissa. She happened to be nearby and knew your sister was sick, so she came by to check on her..."She gently nudged Clarissa's elbow, prompting her to regain her composure. Clarissa then withdrew her gaze, forced a smile, and handed the fruit basket to Albert."You s

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

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
