Looking into her eyes, he struggled to hold back his urges.Even her hair falling across his nose tested his restraint.Before Renee could react, he brushed his lips against hers, light as a feather.In an instant, his hand moved from her neck to cradle her head, deepening the kiss possessively.The moment was brief, his clenched fist beside her ear betraying his restraint - she could hear his knuckles crack with tension.Carl stared at her. "Renee, you're something else."Renee didn't understand.He didn't give her a chance to ask, pulling her under the covers."Get some more sleep."After a few futile attempts to move away, she gave up and closed her eyes....Outside.Annie gripped the doorknob, trembling with rage as she watched them sleep embraced.Unable to bring herself to open the door, she turned away, swallowing her anger.At the elevator, a hand covered her mouth, dragging her into the stairwell.In a blur, a man kissed her roughly, breathing heavily.He rele

Hospital room.When Renee woke, Carl was gone.After regaining some strength, she got up for water and noticed movement at the door."Who's there?" she called out.The door creaked open slightly, and Jack's head peeked in."Miss!""Behave," his mother pulled him back, stepping inside. "Miss, thank you so much. I made some food - I hope you don't mind.""Of course not! Thank you, I'm actually hungry," Renee smiled, not wanting to refuse.The mother poured chicken and mushroom soup from a thermos and offered two flatbreads.She carefully packed away the remaining food.Renee asked curiously, "Ma'am, what's that for?""Jack's father is in intensive care. Every bite counts," she replied, eyes welling up.Renee thought for a moment. "Was Jack being thrown in the river connected to his father?"Struck by the truth, tears rolled down the mother's cheeks."Those monsters! They made their own mistakes and now force us to sign papers.""Who are you talking about?""It's..." she b

Renee felt her body go limp. Before her eyes closed, she glimpsed a black helmet.The man pocketed the syringe, chuckling. "You've got more than just me wanting you dead. Farewell, Renee."...Carl returned to the hospital with food, finding the room empty. He turned and knocked down the guard with one punch."This is what you call protection?""I'm sorry, Mr. Grey. I just went to the bathroom," the guard trembled."Who came here?""The mother and son Renee saved. The nurses said they saw her go downstairs to find them..."Before he finished, Carl was gone.Downstairs, the exhausted mother and son jumped at Carl's fierce approach."Where's Renee?" Carl demanded."Isn't she... resting upstairs?" the mother stammered.Jack pulled away from his mother, picking up an insect from the ground."Mom, why is Blackie here? I gave him to Miss Renee for protection!"Carl followed the insect's trail into the stairwell, finding a small bamboo basket at the first-floor corner."That's

Perhaps Renee's words seemed truly naive to them.Uncle Sam planted his polished shoe beside her, ignoring the dust."Renee, you're officially Patrick's stepdaughter. Visiting the Grey family mine seems natural, and if there's a cave-in, well, that's just bad luck. Who would question it?""Patrick? He's nothing. Even if we kill him too, Michael won't dare say a word.""As for the mine incident, you think those poor villagers can cause trouble? We planned to settle quietly, but they refuse to sign the liability papers. Daring to challenge the Grey family! They'll be next! It's just a hundred thousand dollars - hardly worth my attention."Uncle Simon frowned, interrupting seriously. "Why tell her all this? Get on with it!"Renee realized the quieter Uncle Simon was the real threat.When their eyes met, he narrowed his."Wait - knock her out first!"Renee's heart dropped, her bound hands instinctively clenching.Clever old fox.Afraid she'd resist or survive.Despite her painf

But this same rock, when wedged properly, could hold back the others.However, Renee was now trapped too.Their only exit was blocked.Once temporarily safe, Renee didn't relax, turning to glare at the man half-lying on the ground."Why didn't you move? You lied to me! You..."Renee's angry hand stopped mid-strike.She finally noticed Carl's leg crushed by rocks, blood pooling beneath.She lowered her head, too conflicted to speak.Carl expressionlessly lifted her chin, redirecting her gaze."Just a cut. No bone damage."Renee slapped his hand away, eyes blazing. "Why do you always do this? Being nice to me after all that you did! Should I be grateful? I really hate you!"Carl's raised hand hesitated, then dropped. He remained silent.The mine was too dark to read his expression.Renee turned away, moving to examine his leg.He was right - the bone was intact.But the wound looked agonizing, though he hadn't made a sound.Renee pressed her lips together, tearing off her

Carl released her, silently leaning against the rock.Time passed.Adjusting his position, one leg bent for support, he spoke softly: "Renee, what should I do with you?"Before she could respond to his puzzling words, his head dropped.His forehead pressed against her cheek, and she immediately sensed something wrong.His usually strong frame now trembled with cold.Renee felt around in the darkness, checking his wound.The makeshift bandage was soaked with blood.She tore off another sleeve to bind it tighter.But this didn't help - Carl looked worse.His fists clenched, neck veins bulging, face paper-white, damp hair clinging to his temples.Cold sweat rolled down his face, his eyes hazy with an indescribable allure."Uncle Carl?”"..."Carl didn't respond, his whole body tense, fighting something.Watching him, Renee's heart ached.He didn't have to come, but he did.She unbuttoned his shirt, then her own, hesitating before pressing close.Carl stiffened, his clenc

"Well... I don't understand all that. But their evidence is solid - no one's escaping."Susanne muttered, pushing a slice of fruit into Renee's mouth.Renee knew someone must have helped gather that evidence.Only Carl had that kind of power.Chewing the tasteless apple, she asked awkwardly, "Mom, where's Uncle Carl?""He's de- Ah!" Susanne jumped at the knife nearly cutting her. "You trying to kill your mother?""Dead? How could he die? He just hurt his leg!" Renee's voice shook."I meant he's not dying!""Mom, can you speak clearly?" Renee frowned."Why so worried? Coming back, I had to cover your mouth to stop you calling for your uncle...""Mom! I'm hungry. Could you get me something to eat?" Renee interrupted loudly.Susanne clicked her tongue and left to buy food.After sitting a while, Renee got up to find Carl's room.At his door, she hesitated.Just then, Jackson came out.Their eyes met before she could stop him."Miss Lacey!” he announced loudly.Even the nu

Hearing Michael had arrived, Renee immediately pushed Carl away.With his injured leg, Carl swayed before steadying himself, his dark eyes fixed on her."Go back.""Okay."Renee agreed - this situation needed more than her explanation alone.But before she could leave, the door burst open.Michael entered, his eyes blazing at Carl's injury.Spotting Renee, he struck her face with a resounding slap.“The Grey family raised you up, yet this is how you repay us? Disgraceful!"Still weak, Renee slammed into the wall, seeing stars, blood trickling from her lip.Michael raised his hand again, unsatisfied.But Carl caught it mid-air.The sudden movement tore his stitches, blood soaking through the bandage.Michael's eyes turned vicious. "Carl! What are you doing? After what she did to you, I can't even punish her?""Unnecessary."Carl's eyes swept over Renee's swollen cheek, his face darkening terrifyingly, his grip on Michael's hand tightening.Michael winced, staring at Carl

Wedding dress?When Renee heard those two words, she couldn’t help but feel the irony.Counting the time Annie had tried on wedding dresses, this was the second time she was involved. And both times, it was for Carl’s fiancee.It was as if these weddings couldn’t happen without her as a witness.She glanced at Ruby, who was smiling radiantly, her joy pure and simple. Unlike Annie, Ruby wasn’t manipulative; her invitation was sincere.It was precisely because of this that Renee felt like the bad guy.She was about to come up with an excuse to refuse when her phone buzzed.A sudden sense of foreboding hit her.Sure enough, it was a message from Susanne.“Mr. Grey has asked me to help prepare for Carl and Miss Sanders’ engagement party.”The weight of it crushed her.Whether Susanne would offend both the Sanders and Grey families—or remain unharmed—all hinged on Renee’s response.Her hands trembled as she typed out a reply:“Got it.”Ruby seemed to notice something was off a

Ruby didn’t notice anything unusual about Renee’s demeanor. She pulled out her phone and said excitedly, “Look, we took so many photos! I’m thinking of using some of them for the engagement party and wedding. Can you help me pick a few?”Renee glanced at Ruby’s phone. The photos of Ruby and Carl, both smiling brightly, felt like tiny stabs.Ruby, a young woman nurtured by love and privilege, carried an effortless elegance. Her joy seemed pure and contagious. Her smile was magnetic, lighting up every photo.Even Carl, standing beside her, looked more at ease than usual. The two of them looked perfect together—every photo captured their harmony.Renee, on the other hand, felt awkward, unsure where to direct her gaze.“They’re all great. You two should decide,” she said with a forced smile, quickly steering the conversation elsewhere. “By the way, why did you come to see me?”Ruby clapped her hands as if just remembering. “Oh, right! I almost forgot, I got so excited. The tie clip y

Hearing her mention fire, Carl froze.His mind drifted to the dreams he’d had countless times—the little girl who hated him, and the ending that always played out the same. In every dream, the girl ran into the flames, holding the hand of a woman whose face was always blurred. The two of them would smile at each other before disappearing into the fire.Taking advantage of his hesitation, Renee broke free from Carl’s grip, putting a few steps of distance between them.Her voice trembled with a mix of anger and desperation. “Uncle Carl, I can’t win against you. I know that. But I’m still a person. Haven’t you and your father humiliated me enough? Do you really need everyone pointing at me, calling me trash, for you to finally be satisfied?”Without waiting for a reply, she turned and walked away.Carl reached out, but all he caught was the coat draped over her shoulders.Renee stopped briefly, pulling off the coat without looking back. She continued walking until her figure disappe

Carl didn’t respond to her question. Instead, he grabbed her wrist and led her into the car.Outside the window, the scenery blurred as they drove, snow starting to fall again after some time. When the car finally stopped and the door opened, a fresh layer of snow blanketed the ground.As Renee stepped out, a cashmere coat was draped over her shoulders. The faint scent of Carl surrounded her, pulling her back into reality. She found herself standing in front of a villa.The sprawling garden, now blanketed in white, held a dreamlike beauty, hinting at how enchanting it must look when the flowers were in full bloom. Renee could almost picture it clearly.Because this was the house where she had set herself on fire in her previous life.Eight years of marriage had turned this beautiful home into a gilded cage.Staring at the house, her voice was icy as she asked, “What’s the meaning of this?”Carl’s gaze darkened slightly, his tone calm. “I’ll have someone pick up your belongings f

Joey assumed Renee had forgotten and went to the kitchen to retrieve the item. She placed it in front of her—a sleek yet extravagant men’s watch.Renee recognized it instantly. It was Carl’s watch.She knew because she had a matching women’s version.But she clearly remembered tidying up the kitchen the previous night, and the watch hadn’t been there. Unless… the person who had been with her during her fever was Carl.Levi hadn’t explicitly said the soup was his doing; she had simply assumed.As the dreamlike memories replayed in her mind, Renee’s hand trembled, spilling the ginger tea.Joey quickly grabbed some napkins to clean up. “What’s wrong?”Renee turned to the window, then suddenly grabbed the watch and dashed out.Inside the elevator, she watched the descending numbers, silently counting down. Her hand braced against the wall, her emotions a tangled mess. She had told herself over and over to let go, to stop pursuing this path.But she had to know the truth.She had

Joey pointed to Levi’s suit, drawing Renee’s attention to it. She suddenly realized that Levi’s suit was from the same brand as the one Carl had been wearing when he had brought her home, his face covered. Aside from a few subtle differences, they looked almost identical to the average person. Levi and Carl also had similar builds, which explained why Joey had mistaken him. “Joey, it’s not what you think,” Renee quickly tried to explain. But Joey wasn’t listening. She stood protectively in front of Renee, as though shielding her from making a bad decision. “Renee! You promised me you’d never go back to your ex!” “Ex?” Levi repeated thoughtfully, glancing at Renee with a faint smile tugging at his lips. Renee felt a wave of frustration, like she might faint from embarrassment despite being on the mend. Joey, oblivious, continued in a righteous tone, “Sir, what’s the point of showing up now? When Renee needed someone the most, you ignored her. Being sweet after the f

Warm water slid down Renee’s throat, easing the discomfort. She gradually calmed down as a gentle thumb brushed her lips, as if the person in front of her were handling something precious.He leaned closer, his heated breath falling softly on her face.Instinctively, Renee held her breath. Even though her vision was blurry, she could feel how close he was—so close that the slightest movement would bring their lips together.Just then, the medicine’s effect fully kicked in. Renee’s body went limp, and she collapsed onto the couch.The next moment, a tall figure leaned over, pulling her tightly into his arms. His heartbeat thudded steadily in her ears, a sound that was oddly comforting.In her half-conscious state, she felt a soft touch on her forehead.“Sleep,” a low voice murmured, deep and magnetic, lulling her into the darkness.When Renee opened her eyes again, she saw a white ceiling above her. She reached up to touch her forehead—thankfully, the fever had broken.But her b

“What do you mean by that? I’m not so old that I can’t run this family anymore!” Michael’s voice was sharp, his pride bristling. He hated being reminded of his age—it was his greatest fear.Carl’s tone was flat and unaffected. “Your health should come first.”Michael froze in his seat, his face turning pale with anger. But as a man who had managed the vast Grey family empire for years, he quickly regained his composure.He pulled out two documents and placed them in front of Carl, smoothly shifting the topic. “Here’s the list for the New Year’s gala invitations. Take a look.”Carl opened the list. It was almost identical to previous years—except for one addition: Susanne.“She’s your sister-in-law, after all,” Michael said coldly. “No matter what, she’s still part of the Grey family. Now that Linda is gone, it’s time for her to start contributing.”“Is that so?” Carl’s dark eyes locked onto Michael’s.Michael then gestured to the second document, his gaze sharp and calculating.

Carl sat silently through the night.At dawn, Ruby slowly opened her eyes. Seeing him still by her side, she felt both happy and guilty.Weakly, she said, “Carl, I’m sorry for making you stay with me all night.”Carl snapped out of his thoughts and slowly stood up. “I’ll get the doctor.”As he turned to leave, Ruby grabbed his hand.“Carl, I really like you. Can we be together? Of course, you can say no,” she said softly.Carl lowered his gaze to her, his expression unreadable. He gently pulled his hand away. “Let the doctor check on you first.”Watching him walk away, Ruby bit her pale lips, her eyes welling up.The doctor came to examine her and confirmed that she was out of danger. Soon after, she was transferred to a regular hospital room.Carl helped her lie down and said in a low voice, “Your brother will be here soon.”Ruby immediately grabbed his arm, her tone slightly anxious. “Carl, are you leaving?”“I got a message from home. I need to go back,” Carl replied, his
