I faked my surprise as I stepped up and waved at Harry warmly. Harry's body tensed up a little when he saw me, but I turned a blind eye to it.I gave him a small hug, just like how I usually would when I was young, before tactfully standing back behind Nicholas. My actions were smooth and flawless,
Despite it only being a short walk, my forehead was already covered in cold sweat by the time I returned to our table.I thought setting Nicholas up and tricking him here would be enough, but who knew that it wasn't enough? How was I supposed to ask Nicholas to use his connections to help Pete? Bus
"Since you've already talked to Silas, I'm sure you know that Pete's case is rather complicated. It's not something you would be able to solve by acting affectionately in front of Harry!"I understood what Nicholas was trying to say. But what else could I possibly do to help Pete? So, I put on an in
That was good. I was sure that the woman in question came from a good family, considering that Harry had approved of her. It would not be a bad thing either if Pete could get along with her."That's great. It's been so long since I've seen him. Harry, could you help relay my congratulations to Pete?
Marcus' love for his wife was well-known throughout the city. But because of Lucia's miscarriage, the two of them were currently at odds against each other. So, how could Marcus possibly be willing to let Pete off the hook?Pete had ruined his family and his business. Even if Pete was Marcus' biolog
I couldn't understand what Nicholas was saying, but I did know that I could not allow Nicholas to take me away just like that. Otherwise, my trip to the Goodwin residence would be for nothing.Karen came over to invite us in enthusiastically. I nodded, but Nicholas quickly held my head in place. Upo
"What do you think?"I bit my slightly numb lips and chuckled. "What else do we have left between us?"Nicholas frowned. "Why don't you guess why I went to meet Marcus?"My grip tightened around Nicholas' shirt. I was holding onto him so tightly that I was oblivious to the fact that my nails were dr
In truth, I did not have any right to reprimand Nicholas. After all, I knew better than him about what it was like to act first and think later.I never thought there would be a day where I stopped loving Nicholas after loving him for so many years.When I pressed a sharp blade against my neck, I al
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
