Neal was just an ordinary officer back then. I arranged to meet him at a cafe near the university. Through the clear window, I saw him approaching me step by step.Over the years, the young man with passionate eyes and a heart full of zeal had gained a touch of nonchalance and determination.As the
I called Silas. After a few rings, he picked up. His voice was hoarse and muffled like he had been up all night and had just fallen asleep.I realized I might be disturbing his rest, so after thanking him I prepared to hang up. However, he gave me a hint before I could."I found out Marcelo has a wi
I couldn't help but observe the mother. If it were my child being bullied, I would definitely rush in to protect her. But the girl's mother stood at the school gate silently wiping away tears, not intervening.I could only respect her choice. Seeing them living such a sorrowful life, I began to doub
Marcelo screamed at me furiously, "I should have killed you! No… I should have killed you all! I'll kill all of you!"Unfortunately, I feared we wouldn't wait until that moment. He admitted to the crimes he committed, so the trial wasn't delayed like typical cases, especially with the backing of the
I shook my head, and in Pete's pupils, I saw a woman with hollow eyes and a dazed expression. I struggled to control my expression. Otherwise, his next words would surely be that I was ugly."I've been waiting for four years for you to come work at my law firm, and you're still absent! I've already
What great news! When Claudia handed me the document, I eagerly reached out to take it. However, just a glance told me that I couldn't sign this divorce agreement.She returned to her chair, and after seeing that I hadn't moved for a while, exclaimed in surprise, "Oh dear, Ariana. I just remembered
Nicholas' pupils darkened, and his body trembled. He looked past the men around him and watched me from across the detention room.I saw his hand slowly clench into fists by his sides as if he had heard something unbelievable. He stared at me in a daze as if he didn't know me.I looked at him with a
I looked at Nicholas expressionlessly, waiting for him to continue signing. Claudia tugged on his sleeve, but he didn't react."He he." She chuckled unnaturally and said, "Nick, if you don't want to divorce Ariana, I'll be the first to agree." Her smile grew as she spoke, and she was even jumping wi
The next day, I returned to Radiant City, hoping to see him one last time. To my surprise, I was turned away at the entrance.A small note was handed to me by a police officer. On it were Nicholas' strong, determined words."Wait for me to atone for my sins. Wait for me to come to you."Staring at t
"All the mistakes began with me, so today, I will end them."Because of my actions, those who deserved punishment were able to evade justice for four long years. I am willing to cooperate with the police investigation, provide the necessary evidence, and take full legal responsibility for any past a
After hanging up the call, I immediately searched online.Screenshots of Nicholas being taken away were plastered across numerous articles by the tabloids. And the top four trending topics were all about him."Hawk Corporation CEO Publicly Confesses Love""Hawk Corporation CEO Taken Away for Investi
I suddenly received a call from Douglas. He asked when I would need Tabitha's passport back, as it was still with him. I couldn't help but feel that once a person wakes up to the truth, everything starts to fall into place as it was meant to."Send it to Coral Villa," I said, then hung up and went t
In the following days, my schedule was always tightly arranged by Nicholas.He subtly hinted and asked whether I'd consider remarrying him, saying it might make the adoption process for Cory easier. However, I could handle the matter myself, even if it was more troublesome.Rather than discussing re
It wasn't until Leo was wheeled out of the operating room that I finally saw Yasmine and Nicholas in the ward.The two of them exchanged a silent glance when they saw me and turned away in unison, as if by mutual agreement.I couldn't help but feel that the tension between them had somehow lessened.
Nicholas' entire body trembled violently, his mouth opening and closing for a long time without being able to utter a single word."My father… wasn't it because of my mother…""It was your mother who ordered it, and Claudia carried it out!"Nicholas still couldn't comprehend, his voice hollow and di
Nicholas started trembling uncontrollably, anger surging through him almost instantly, consuming every fiber of his being.Although he was aware that there were still some unresolved misunderstandings between him and me, she had already said she didn't mind. He had thought it wasn't something import
The ambulance arrived swiftly, its flashing red warning lights casting Yasmine's pale face in an even starker hue.She got into the ambulance with Leo, while Nicholas and I drove together to the hospital.Nicholas sighed regretfully, "I arranged everything as quickly as I could, but I was still a bi
