Simmons house.

Annie paced restlessly in the hall.

Suddenly her phone rang - a video call from Nancy.

After hesitating, she answered.

On screen, Nancy was covered in mud and filth, looking desperate.

She drove while pressing her face close to the phone.

Her bloodshot eyes appeared huge, making Annie step back in fear.

"Annie, my parents are sending me abroad. Please beg Mr. Grey to help my family! Please!"

So she wanted help.

Annie sat straight, lifting her elegant neck, dropping her previous pretense of friendliness.

"Sorry, Nancy. With your family's situation, I can't help."

"What do you mean? I helped you gain favor with Michael, and now you're abandoning me? Besides, I only kidnapped Renee because of you!"

Nancy screamed, her broken voice trembling.

With the Larsons fallen, Annie feared association and dropped her act.

She sneered, "Nancy, don't make things up. When did I tell you to kidnap Renee? Don't spread baseless accusations."

"You!" Nancy's eyes widened. "So t

    Just then, Susanne picked up her bag."Renee, why don't you say goodbye to Chris? He's taken good care of you these past days.""Sure."Renee put on her coat and headed to the doctor's office."Dr. Percy, I..."Opening the door, she saw a man in a white coat wearing a cartoon cap sitting across from Chris.He turned at the sound, fixing her with a snake-like gaze, complete with a slight smile.Renee's legs froze, her hand stiff on the doorknob.Connor put his hands in his coat pockets, raising an eyebrow. "You know me?"The same words, the same tone.But last time, Connor had been trying to kill her with a pipe.Renee gripped the doorknob tighter, quickly composing herself to look surprised."You two... look so alike! You startled me!"Connor stared at her suspiciously.Chris quickly stood to introduce them: "I forgot to mention - this is my brother. He just started his internship here from medical school. You haven't met him."Just started?No wonder Renee hadn't known

    Psychological treatment?Hearing these words, Renee, who had actually awakened, chose to keep pretending to sleep.Had her earlier act of mental illness scared Chris?Wouldn't she know if she'd had psychological treatment?She'd never seen a therapist.She wanted to hear what else Chris would say.In the room, Carl's eyes darkened like storm clouds."She hasn't. If she had, her mother wouldn't have hidden it from my second brother.""That's strange," Chris rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "When she had psychological reactions to Calvin Henderson, then stress-induced blindness, something felt off. I discussed her symptoms with a colleague who concluded she must have had treatment before, which is why she could self-regulate even during stress reactions.""What do you mean?" Carl's expression changed."I mean... Calvin might not be the original trigger for her stress response. He may have accidentally hit some deeper trigger, causing such intense reactions.""Impossible," Carl de

    His hand suddenly gripped the back of her head as he claimed her lips aggressively."Ouch... mm!"It hurt!Renee instinctively parted her lips, giving him the opening he wanted.He stared at her, dark eyes burning with desire and a hint of madness.Renee hit him several times, but he barely noticed, letting her vent.Finally, he pressed her into the bed, his tall frame looming over her, his strength leaving her helpless.After a moment, Carl released her, burying his face in her neck. His uneven breath stirred her hair, leaving burning heat against her ear.He said hoarsely, "I'm going on a business trip. Stay away from the Grey house for now."Renee's heart jumped, unsure if this was a warning or concern, but she nodded."Your mother's waiting downstairs. Go."He released her and straightened his clothes.Renee quickly jumped off the bed and ran out without looking back.Jackson peeked into the room."Mr. Grey, why did she run away again?""Mind your own business," Carl

    "You..." Annie gritted her teeth.She never imagined being blackmailed by a gutter rat like Wendy.Wendy chuckled, "Miss Simmons, don't try anything. I've got nothing to lose. If I die, I'm taking someone down with me."Annie clenched her fists. She wasn't afraid of trained dogs, but street dogs that might bite without warning were dangerous.She took a deep breath. "I'll transfer the money right away.""Thank you, Miss Simmons."Wendy hung up laughing.Annie stared at her phone, knowing this leech's appetite would only grow.All Renee's fault!Without her, Wendy would never dare treat her this way!Just then, Connor messaged her."Baby, free tonight?"Annie almost said no, but suddenly a plan formed."Yes, but... I need you to do something for me.""What wouldn't I do for you? My life is yours!"...Next morning, Renee took a taxi to the airport.Fifteen minutes later, Mandy and Annie arrived one after another.After some instructions, Mandy led them onto the plane.

    As Renee turned to head back to her seat, the man in the next seat “accidentally” brushed her with his leg. Finally, she couldn’t hold back. “Sir, if you’re ‘accidentally’ clumsy one more time, I might just ‘accidentally’ get us turned back mid-flight.”Instead of getting upset, the man chuckled, seemingly amused. “Fiery, huh? Has anyone told you you're even more attractive when you're mad?”“Oh, I’ll show you ‘attractive’...” Renee was ready to plant her heel firmly on his foot when a flight attendant walked up.“Excuse me, Miss Lacey?” the attendant asked.“Yes?” Renee set her heel back down.“Your colleague asked for you. Would you mind coming up front?” the attendant motioned ahead.Assuming it was her friend Mandy calling her, Renee quickly grabbed her bag and followed the attendant. But to her surprise, the attendant led her to the first-class cabin, where Jackson was waving her over. “Miss Lacey, over here!”Renee blinked, suddenly realizing what was happening, and tried

    Renee followed Carl's gaze and realized her sweater was caught on his belt. Just a slight movement would tug her sweater up, exposing more than she wanted. Panicking, she tried to unhook it herself, but in the process, her hand brushed against something it shouldn’t have.Before she could react, Carl’s hand gripped her wrist. His jaw tightened, his gaze intense, like a restrained predator. His voice was a low warning: "Don’t move."Renee, noticing the change in his expression, froze, her eyes widening as a hint of sweat broke on her brow. She muttered, "My sweater…”Then came an audible click—the belt buckle had come undone.“Mr. Grey…” Jackson’s voice interrupted as he entered with urgent documents, only to see the scene unfold. He quickly turned away, stammering, “I saw nothing. I’ll come back later.” With that, Jackson hastily retreated.Renee wanted to vanish on the spot, but the more she tried to free herself, the more entangled she became. Her nervous fumbling even managed t

    This was just another move in his plan to gain control of the mining operation.So he watched her seek out Nancy Larson, allowed Nancy to torment her, and then sat back like a spectator to reap the benefits.In that moment, Renee felt as if thousands of needles were piercing her heart. Something seemed to block her throat, and a suffocating feeling took hold of her body.After Jackson left, Renee quietly returned to her seat.Just as she sat down, a flight attendant brought food, but she had no appetite."I'm not hungry. Just bring me some alcohol."The flight attendant hesitated, glancing at Carl beside her.Carl looked up at her with cold eyes. "Drinking on an empty stomach?"Renee stared out the window, avoiding his gaze. "It won't kill me."Carl waved the flight attendant away, refusing to let them bring Renee any alcohol.Showing unusual patience, he pointed at the food on the table. "Eat something first. It's almost time for your medicine."Getting water in your lungs

    Jackson returned to Carl's side and spoke quietly, "Sir, Miss Lacey left on her own."Carl paused for a few seconds. "Have someone watch her.""Yes. And..." Jackson leaned closer to whisper something in his ear.Carl responded with a noncommittal hum.He walked over to Annie, reached up to take her bag from the overhead compartment, and draped his jacket over her shoulders."Brookshire is colder than the capital.""Mm-hmm."Annie looked bashful, her eyes full of warmth.Other passengers watched them enviously....After collecting her luggage, Renee found Mandy.Mandy was alone."Annie isn't coming with us.""I know."Renee had expected this.Just then, a commotion broke out nearby.Carl walked through the airport holding Annie's hand, causing a scene similar to a celebrity sighting.Annie glanced at Renee, pulling Carl's jacket tighter and burying half her face in the collar.Her visible eyes were full of triumph.As for Carl, he hadn't noticed Renee. He was focused

    The music was replaced by intimate sounds.Renee froze, thinking she was hearing things, until she turned to see explicit footage playing on the screen.The woman was Annie, with... an athletic dark-skinned man.The man wasn't Connor!Or rather, not just Connor.The next clip showed a different man, a blonde model.In the minute-long montage, Renee couldn't keep track of how many different men appeared.In her peripheral vision, she saw Annie collapse in her white dress."Turn it off! Turn it off! It's all fake!" Annie screamed, her voice shaking.But the screen continued playing, revealing more shocking secrets.Annie was a serial plagiarist - her popular online designs were all stolen.The Simmons family had been exploiting their connection to Carl, taking profits while secretly investing in his competitors, with evidence of numerous bribes.The revelations destroyed the family's reputation completely.Yvette, previously so proud, fainted on the spot.On the red carpet

    The manager nodded: "Everything was done as you instructed."The man didn't respond, lighting a cigarette before murmuring through the thin smoke: "She looks best in red."...Two days later.Renee put on the champagne-colored bridesmaid dress. To avoid trouble from Annie, she only applied light foundation and lipstick before leaving.She didn't even check herself in a full-length mirror.Renee took a taxi directly to the city's most luxurious hotel.The hotel was filled with reporters and elite families usually only seen in the media.Such was the magnitude of Carl's wedding.Though Renee was a bridesmaid, Annie had excluded her from all wedding preparations.Annie's sole purpose was to torment her.Just before the ceremony, Renee reluctantly entered the preparation room.After all, Michael had ordered her to fulfill her role.The stylists were stunned when they saw Renee.The seemingly ordinary bridesmaid dress enhanced her natural grace and beauty, looking more like a

    Renee turned while adjusting her skirt, meeting Annie's shocked expression."Miss Simmons, how could you open the curtain without my permission? What if I was still changing?"Annie stared at Renee in the white dress, too jealous to speak.Though the style was simple, it made Renee look even more stunning.Even the boutique staff, used to seeing beautiful women, couldn't hide their amazement.Annie clutched the curtain, trying to maintain her smile, when she noticed the handprints on the mirror behind Renee.Her smile vanished completely, giving Renee a resentful look before saying sarcastically: "Renee's bridesmaid dress is so long, it could be mistaken for a simple wedding dress."Renee smiled lightly, knowing Annie would criticize whatever she wore.Seeing Michael's disapproving look, she quickly said: "This is my first time as a bridesmaid. I thought something plain would be appropriate. But if you think this looks like a wedding dress, you should choose instead. You're the

    Could she really be this kind?The attendant approached Renee: "Miss Lacey, this way please.""Okay."Renee put down her teacup and stood quickly, eager to escape the suffocating room....Inside the smaller fitting room.Through the heavy curtain, the attendant gestured dismissively at the rack: "Miss Lacey, please choose."Renee flipped through the options - all either bright red, purple, or neon colors, each with plunging necklines and open backs.Apparently all the brand's most outrageous designs were here.She asked patiently: "Are there any others?"The attendant turned away, pretending not to hear, rolling her eyes carelessly.Renee laughed inwardly - of course Annie wouldn't let her off easily.She said directly: "I won't wear any of these. If you don't bring different options, I'll show these to Mr. Grey senior and let him judge your taste as a high-end sales professional. What do you think he'll say about you trying to ruin his son's wedding?""You... wait here!"

    The bridal shop was the country's only boutique of a top international brand.Just viewing appointments normally required a year's wait.Of course, someone of Carl's status didn't need to wait.Inside the Louvre-like splendor, the manager had already cleared the store for their arrival."Mr. Grey senior, Mr. Grey, Mrs. Grey."The manager, ever perceptive, immediately used the new title seeing Annie on Carl's arm.Annie glanced shyly at Carl, seemingly waiting for him to confirm her status.Carl didn't acknowledge her, saying coldly instead: "I have an international video call tonight."Clearly meaning: don't waste time.The manager hesitated, instinctively looking at Annie.Annie paused briefly, then smiled graciously, reaching to fix his coat collar: "Don't tire yourself. I could have come alone. I'd rather you got some rest.""No need. Let's go."Carl spoke casually, handing his coat to Jackson before walking ahead.Annie's hand barely touched his coat hem before freezin

    After two weeks, her dedication and hard work became obvious, and her colleagues realized ignoring her was pointless.Gradually, everyone returned to their normal work routine.Until Annie reappeared.It was just two days before her wedding to Carl.She was dressed every bit the part of the Grey family's third wife, even her car and driver had been replaced with the Grey family's staff.She publicly blocked Renee's path, saying softly: "Renee, I want you to be my bridesmaid."Renee froze for a moment before pushing away her hand: "Sorry, I'm too busy. I can't be your bridesmaid.""Renee, I've explained to my fans that it was an accident. I don't blame you, and I don't want people thinking there's bad blood between us. Besides... your mother is part of the Grey family. Let's not make things difficult for them, okay?"Annie's seemingly understanding words were actually threats.Threatening her with online harassment, threatening her with Susanne.Renee laughed coldly: "No means

    Carl stopped responding. Just as Chris was about to put his phone down, a sketch appeared."How about this?"Chris wondered what had gotten into Carl, commissioning artwork in the middle of the night.Still, he patiently opened the image.One glance left him frozen in shock.Standing alone in the empty hospital corridor made it even more unnerving, sending chills down his spine.He quickened his pace while replying."Exactly the same.""I thought it was young Renee at first, but now I see the difference - those eyes are identical to yours!"Chris closed his office door, taking a sip of water to calm himself.He'd always thought dreams were just illusions, but now... he wasn't so sure."I understand."Carl went silent.Chris was too spooked to sleep all night....The sedative helped Renee sleep well, and she felt less exhausted when she woke.Seeing her mother pouring drinks by her bed, she sat up quickly and grabbed Susanne's arm."Mom, I recognize that doctor.""Whi

    Chris jumped to his feet."No! Your injuries just healed, and you've barely rested since returning from Brookshire. Your body can't take it!""Go home. I've already switched to night shift. I'll keep watch, and don't you have your own people here anyway?"He gave Carl a gentle push.Carl rubbed his temples, grunted in agreement, and left the office....Late that night.Carl sat in his study, hands on the armrests, letting a cigarette burn down between his fingers. Smoke veiled his expression.The recording from Wendy played repeatedly on his phone."...So you secretly want to marry Mr. Grey! Have a family of three! Would you want a daughter or son?""A daughter.""A daughter...""A daugh..."When he first heard this recording, Carl felt an inexplicable pain in his heart.Even now, after countless replays, the feeling remained.Listening to Renee's clear, cautious voice, he closed his eyes.As he drifted off, he - who rarely dreamed - found himself standing before a hou

    As the last of the drug entered the IV line, the doctor's eyes gleamed with satisfaction.But in the next moment, his eyes widened in disbelief. Before he could even turn around, he collapsed like a powerless robot.As the doctor fell, he revealed the man standing behind him.Handsome, with a deadly aura.Carl wiped his hands: "Take him away."Jackson effortlessly dragged the man out with one hand.Finally, the room fell silent.Carl sat by the bed, carefully peeling back the tape on Renee's hand. The needle had never pierced her skin - it was just for show.He caressed her hand, studying her pale, peaceful sleeping face. Something deep flickered in his eyes before he lowered his gaze, hiding all emotion.He only gripped her hand tighter.After a long silence, he left when his phone vibrated.Carl knocked and entered Chris's office.Chris was smoking. Seeing Carl, he smiled bitterly."Sorry, if it weren't for Connor, none of this would have happened. I'm arranging for him
