Marisol had not expected Nevaeh to be that blunt about sleeping with Lucian. Clearly, she underestimated how shameless Nevaeh could be. Meanwhile, Lucian's expression turned pitch black in an instant."Stay here. I'll have Zayne drive you home," he said coldly to Marisol before dragging Nevaeh away.Of course, Marisol was not going to wait. She got up from the couch, smoothed out her gown, and headed for the door. However, she found that the handle would not turn, and her face darkened.She never imagined Lucian would actually lock her in the lounge. She could not help but think he was a lunatic...."Mrs. Muller, Mr. Muller asked me to drive you home," came a voice shortly after. Zayne appeared at the door. He was dressed sharply in his tailored suit. Marisol did not bother acknowledging him. The moment the door opened, she moved to walk out, but he stepped in front of her. His tall frame was blocking the exit completely.She stared at him coldly. "Mr. Burnett, what exactly

Zayne stood tall at the doorway. His voice was low and cold. "Mr. Lowell, you do understand that there will be consequences for what happened today, right?"Ronan's smile did not waver as he folded his handkerchief and turned toward Marisol. "Ms. Speight, allow me to walk you out."Only after the two of them had left did Zayne take out his phone and call Lucian. "Mr. Muller, Mrs. Muller left with Ronan. I'm sorry—I couldn't stop her."There was silence on the other end for a few seconds before Lucian finally spoke. "If it was Ronan, then it's no surprise you couldn't. Don't blame yourself."Zayne asked, "What about Mrs. Muller?""Have someone keep an eye on her, but don't interfere. She really thinks that Ronan and the Lowells are the kind of people she can rely on? What a joke.""Understood, Mr. Muller."..."Mr. Lowell, thank you so much for today," Marisol said as they walked toward the parking lot. She hesitated for a moment, thinking about what Zayne had said earlier. T

"Mom, when are you coming home?"In the quiet of the night, the car moved steadily forward as Andre's childish voice came through the phone.Marisol replied flatly, "I still have things to do. I'm not coming back.""Oh." Andre was briefly disappointed before asking again, "Then will you be home in the next few days?"Marisol hesitated for a moment. Her lips were pressed together slightly. In the end, she hardened her heart and said, "I'm busy these days. I don't have time. Let your dad take care of you for now.""Okay."Andre's voice turned dejected. "Then, Mom, you have to call me when you come back, okay? I miss you.""Alright."After Andre hung up, Marisol stared at the darkened phone screen as her thick lashes trembled faintly. Her grip on the steering wheel remained tight.It had been a long time since Andre called her like this. He even said he missed her. That was the first time she had heard that from him in over a year.…The moment Andre ended the call in the Mulle

Darlene and Elizabeth had been friends for years. Back then, the arranged marriage between Lucian and Nevaeh had been casually agreed upon when the two women were simply joking around.Though the engagement ultimately fell through, their friendship remained intact. The two families still maintained frequent contact.Over the years, Darlene had treated Lucian like her own child. So when she insisted, Lucian hesitated briefly.Just then, Nevaeh walked in. She stepped closer and took his hand while giving it a gentle shake."Come on, Lucian," she coaxed softly.He turned to her, and his expression softened instantly. "Alright."Seeing the sweet, wordless exchange between the two, Darlene nudged Charles lightly. The couple exchanged knowing smiles before quietly slipping away, leaving the living room to the young pair.…The tree leaves rustled softly under the bright moonlight. Marisol drove into Verdant Woods and parked in front of Moira Studio.As she stepped out of the car whi

At the Apex Union Bank's tech department, someone said to Marisol, "Ms. Speight, do you really have to leave? It's so hard to find a boss as good as you.""Yeah, Ms. Speight! This is too sudden!""Can't you stay?"Marisol had just finished a meeting when several of her closer team members gathered around. They were all talking over each other about her resignation.Though she was serious and strict at work, she had a decent temperament. When she did get stern, it was always work-related and professional. She often gave out personal bonuses during and after projects, treated her team to meals and drinks, and applied for rewards like prizes and trips for them.As long as the work was done well, she was flexible with time-off requests, making the office environment relatively relaxed. Combined with her high technical skills, her team members respected her deeply. It was no surprise that they were reluctant to let her go now that she was leaving."Don't worry, I vetted your new manag

Marisol was about to hang up and contact Lucian when Alinta stopped her."What are you apologizing for? Lucian's the one being psychotic by mixing personal grudges with business. This has nothing to do with you!"Besides, I was the one who promised to handle this for you, and now I messed up. Worst case scenario, I'll quit law and inherit the family business. You're the one in real trouble here."Alinta sighed. "Lucian has made his point very clear. With the Muller family's influence, no one in Everton would dare take your case now. What are you going to do?"Just thinking about it made Alinta both furious and heartbroken."How can Lucian be such a bastard? After everything you've done for him—for that entire Muller Group—you're only asking for scraps as divorce compensation, and he won't even give you that? Instead, he pulls this shit? This marriage of yours is just..."Alinta genuinely thought her friend deserved better, but there was nothing she could do. She had assumed that

Inside the opulent, spacious private room on the N Laugh club's second floor sat over a dozen young men and women dressed in tailored suits and luxurious evening wear.At the center of the gathering, Lucian and Nevaeh sat close together. Everyone in this room of young elites was Lucian's childhood friend—Nevaeh's as well. They had all grown up together and maintained close relationships.With such familiar company, their conversation flowed freely. They covered all manner of topics."Lucian, that new tech subsidiary you recently established—Fanco Tech, right? How's it coming along? Have you selected your technical team yet?"A handsome man sitting beside Lucian swirled his wine glass as he asked the question. His query immediately drew everyone's attention.Muller Group, primarily an industrial conglomerate, didn't just dominate Everton's market. It stood at the pinnacle of global heavy industry with its influence spanning worldwide.The established industrial giant was suddenly

Lucian shot Nolan a cold glance.Nolan shrugged and turned to Nevaeh with a smile. "Nevaeh, come on, tell us. Didn't you dig up anything else?"Weren't you studying abroad there all these years? Didn't you come across this person at Arbury's business associations?"Nevaeh's almond-shaped eyes glimmered with amusement."Nimbus' mentor is actually more famous—Alexander Thiel, an academician at the Arbury Academy of Sciences and their investment mogul. Alexander's big data company has backing from the Arbury CIA, and everyone around him is under government protection."We could only uncover surface-level information. And this 'Nimbus' person originally went abroad to study, and we recently heard they're planning to bring their team back."As she spoke, her eyes sparkled with excitement."Plus, my professor at Winthrop Graduate Business School has business collaborations with Alexander. My professor has helped arrange a meeting for me once Nimbus returns. The chances of cooperation

With his hands on the steering wheel, Zayne froze for a moment before nodding in response.…"How are you doing, Marisol? Where's Lucian?" When Julius heard that Marisol was hospitalized, he immediately went to the hospital with bags of snacks and daily necessities.As soon as he entered the ward, he was met with Marisol's lonely figure on the hospital bed.Smiling, Marisol changed the topic. "Thank you for coming, but what's with the luggage?""I'm keeping you company," Julius said matter-of-factly.Marisol was stunned as warmth welled up in her heart. For some reason, she recalled what Julius had been saying about becoming her brother or son.She was surprised to find that he wasn't joking at all."My brother, huh…" Marisol instantly clenched her fists, which she had hidden under the blanket.Making his way to Marisol, Julius took out a bag of snacks as he complained, "I shouldn't have gotten discharged so soon. If not, we might've stayed in the same ward. We might've been w

It was just past noon when a Phantom pulled into the courtyard.Lucian got out of the car. His dignified black suit accentuated his figure, and he casually adjusted his silver cufflinks with his slender fingers before striding toward the study.Otto was writing in the study."Grandpa." Lucian greeted Otto as he approached the old man. Picking up the teapot from the heater, he poured out a cup of tea for Otto.Otto was so engrossed in his writing that he didn't even acknowledge Lucian. He didn't even touch the cup of hot tea on the desk. Only the sounds of a pen scratching against paper could be heard in the study.When Otto was done, he finally put down his pen and looked at Lucian. "What's the matter now? You won't even think of visiting me unless I call for you. Is that it?""Of course not." Lucian smiled politely. "I think of you all the time, Grandpa.""Spare me that nonsense." Otto gave Lucian a sideways glance. "I know you're thinking of some young lady all the time instea

The ruler was brought down thrice upon Andre's hand. His palm instantly turned red, and he was in so much pain that his eyes reddened. Tears welled up in his eyes, but he tried his best to hold them in.Otto once held a high rank in the military. He had always been strict in handling family matters, and he despised crying. He believed that men should never cry.If Andre shed even a single tear, he would only receive a heavier punishment.Otto asked again, "What did you do wrong?"Holding back tears, Andre choked as he said in a trembling voice, "I shouldn't have let Mom's relatives into the house. If they had not been let in, Mom would not have been hurt. I won't do it again."Alfred held the ruler out again.This time, Andre was hit seven times on his palm. His hand immediately became swollen.In the end, he couldn't hold it in anymore. Huge teardrops rolled down his face, but he bit his lip tightly. He didn't dare make any sounds in case Otto heard him.A long while later, th

"Why do you look so scared? You're my brother-in-law, so I'm obliged to be nice to you for Marisol's sake." Lucian's fox-like eyes narrowed into a smile, but his foot remained firmly planted.Nathan shook his head with all his might. He didn't dare admit to it at all. "I-I didn't. I really didn't…""You seemed bold enough to me," Lucian said in a threatening tone.Nathan hastily explained, "It wasn't me. It was Mara. It was Ama—No. It was me. I wasn't thinking straight. Lucian, please have mercy on me. I won't do it ever again. We'll return to Portsbridge right away and never come back!"With his other hand, Nathan slapped himself in the face. Then, he gripped the leg of Lucian's pants as tears streamed down his face.Lucian ruthlessly kicked Nathan away. Then, he scoffed. "At least he still has some spine. Zayne."Zayne responded as he pinned Nathan to the floor. Then, he quickly removed the bandages from Nathan's head. Taking out a camera, he proceeded to take several detailed

The man in the lead looked absolutely stunning, and his charm was irresistible. Amara couldn't take her eyes off him.It wasn't until the door was closed with a heavy thud that Amara returned to her senses. She hastily got up and lowered her head a little as she gently tucked away some loose strands of hair behind her ear. She said in a sweet voice, "H-Hello. You must be my brother-in-law."She had seen Lucian's photo before, but she didn't expect Lucian to be even more handsome in person.She was filled with envy as soon as she laid eyes on Lucian.Marisol was indeed lucky to be married to such a handsome man. Amara wished it were her instead.Still, Amara deemed her looks to be on par with Marisol's. With that in mind, she purposefully struck an appealing pose as she said in a softened tone, "Mr. Muller, your wife was so aggressive! We were just starting to talk when she threw the teapot at her own brother."But don't worry. When Nathan wakes up, I'll make sure he doesn't make

"Dad! Dad! I'm sorry!" In the living room, Andre was dragged outside by two strong men in suits. He was wailing and shouting nonstop. "I'm really sorry! I swear I'll do it properly next time. Please give me another chance! Don't send me to Great-grandpa's place, please! Dad! Dad!"Andre was held in mid-air as he kept flailing around with his limbs. However, even his limbs were quickly restrained.Lucian stood at the top of the stairs as he looked down at Andre. His gaze was void of emotion. "This was already your second chance. You couldn't do it, so you have to be punished for it. That's how the rules work. Andre, you don't get second chances all the time."Andre was panicking when an idea struck him. He seemed to have caught on to something, and he shouted, "Mom! I want to see Mom! I'm not leaving! Let me see Mom!"Lucian said coldly, "Take him away. Also, send my regards to Grandpa."The bodyguards replied with a "Yes, sir" before leaving with Andre between them. Andre cried an

Nathan's lips were quivering from all the crying, but at that moment, he froze.Hesitating for a moment, he anxiously rubbed his hands together as he said, "I-I'm getting married soon, so we n-need only t-ten million dollars."Marisol smiled incredulously for a moment. Then, a dark look appeared in her eyes. "Only ten million dollars, you say? Who do you think you are? Who are you to make such demands of me?"Nathan's face turned red as he subconsciously turned to look at Amara. After getting a glare from her, Nathan finally decided to speak up. "Marisol, I haven't asked for money in years. I just need some money from you for the wedding. Lucian is filthy rich, so I'm sure you can bear to part with some loose change."Please help your younger brother out! You can't just abandon your family after marrying into another family. No daughter or sister behaves like this."Amara spoke up as well. "He's right, Amara. You're in the wrong here. Your family has painstakingly raised you, afte

Marisol saw the group enter Crimson Oaks Estate. Then, as she watched Nevaeh leave, her heart sank.She had a feeling that something was off.However, the bigger problem at hand was that she had to go in even if she didn't want to.Marisol was still pondering things when she received a call from Andre. She hesitated for a short while before answering the call."Mom, why aren't you home? By the way, Uncle Nathan came over, so I brought him into the house. Please come back soon!" Andre sounded like he wanted Marisol to praise him.Marisol felt bitterness in her heart, but in the end, she still said, "I'll be home right away."…After ending the call, Andre turned to see Nathan and Amara standing anxiously in the living room. The shiny white tiles were dirtied by two trails of muddy footprints and some snow that had yet to melt. Andre couldn't help but frown."Wanda, the floor is dirty," Andre said with an innocent look, widening his pretty, fox-like eyes.Wanda hastily led the g

Nevaeh had thoroughly looked into Marisol's background before, and she had also seen some photos. So, of course, she recognized one of the troublemakers as Marisol's brother, Nathan.Nevaeh had been wondering why Lucian would ask Andre to go home and keep Marisol company. She was worried that the two might get closer to each other.However, when she saw the scene before her, she immediately came up with a plan. "Andy, isn't that your uncle? They look like they're in a fight. Let's go take a look.""My uncle?" Andre thought. He looked at Nathan, but he didn't recognize him at all. Still, he could gather that these were relatives on his mother's side of the family.He didn't want to get involved at all.Lucian had told him before that he should pay no mind to the people on Marisol's side of the family, and there was no need for him to get to know them. His meeting with Emilia was already an exception.Andre was about to decline when he heard Nevaeh saying, "Your dad asked you to go
