Renee Lacey!It was her again!She sneered and whispered, in a voice only she and Carl could hear: "If I can't have it, no one can. And you can't have her either."Just then, a motorcycle burst into the banquet hall.Guests scattered in fear.The motorcycle stopped right in front of Annie, and the rider extended a hand: "Annie, come with me."Annie grabbed the hand and jumped onto the bike, quickly leaving the wedding scene.The speeding figure flew past Renee.Annie shot her a venomous look, making Renee feel this wasn't over yet.At that moment, Carl's cold voice came from the stage."The bride has eloped. The wedding is over. Please stay for the meal before leaving."He spoke as if the wedding had nothing to do with him.The staff reacted quickly, replacing all the wedding songs with soft background music suitable for a regular banquet.The music snapped Renee back to reality. Her phone vibrated in her pocket.It was a message from Susanne."Come to the break room."

Renee walked out of the break room, lost in thought.As she looked up, she heard Patrick scolding Carl with displeasure.“Carl, that was too risky! Dad cares so much about his reputation - weren't you publicly humiliating him?""He'll understand sacrificing a little reputation for the family's future," Carl replied expressionlessly."You... what about your own reputation?"Patrick, being much older than Carl, spoke with the gravity of an elder brother's concern.Renee stood to the side, staring at her shoes.Though she felt like an outsider, she quietly waited for Carl's response.She couldn't understand why he had to make such a scene either.The man's voice remained cold as ever: "The same goes for me."Renee felt her heart sink - so he cared about no one, only the family's interests came first.It wasn't surprising, but her mind still went blank for a moment.Even Patrick drew in a sharp breath.No wonder Carl held the highest position - he was so ruthless even to himse

As Jackson apologized, the car's partition screen rose up.Renee's eyes widened, her cheeks burning hot.Carl gazed at her flushed face, which glowed like a freshly peeled peach in the sunlight - dewy and delicate.Just looking at her tugged at something deep inside him.As Renee tried to push herself up, his hand pressed against the back of her head, deepening the kiss.She pushed against his chest, but he flipped their positions, pinning her to the back seat.The more she struggled, the tighter their bodies pressed together.Maybe it was her imagination, but his kiss felt particularly uninhibited.Gone was his usual restraint, replaced by direct intensity.As Renee's struggles weakened, she finally pressed hard against his wound.He hissed, narrowing his eyes at her."Renee, when will you change this temper of yours? Always stubborn and resorting to force.""Of course I can't compare to Annie's understanding and gentleness," Renee said, catching her breath.Carl chuckled

Meanwhile, Dr. Percy carefully cleaned Carl's wound."It's nothing serious."Carl made a sound of acknowledgment and lit a cigarette.After a moment of silence, Dr. Percy gave a bitter smile: "You guessed he would go to Annie, didn't you?""Yes."The pale smoke added to the gloomy atmosphere in the office.Dr. Percy sighed: "I'm sorry. I don't have the face to ask for mercy anymore. I told my mother about this too - she feels terrible that she couldn't raise Connor properly."Carl tapped off some ash: "Save it. Apologize after they're brought back."Dr. Percy paused - Carl's words meant Connor would at least return alive. He couldn't ask for more.But something puzzled him."At your wedding, with all those security guards inside and out, how did Connor manage to ride in on a motorcycle? Did you let it happen?"Carl looked up, his deep gaze revealing everything."What better evidence than a bride eloping in front of everyone?""You... that's ruthless. You even included your

The trending topic was indeed awkward to mention.Looking at the trending topics on his computer screen, Dr. Percy held his breath and glanced at Carl: "I can't believe Annie still has fans defending her after all this.""Her fans are saying that you couldn't satisfy her in three years together, obviously you're not capable, and you shouldn't hold back her happiness.""Ahem, you should have Jackson take down all this nonsense. It's damaging your reputation."Carl glanced at the screen, then looked up to catch Renee trying to hide her smile.He said coolly: "Not everyone needs to know if I'm capable. Only certain people need to know."The office suddenly fell silent.Renee was reading the comments when she heard this. Both Jackson and Dr. Percy turned to look at her simultaneously.Her back suddenly felt hot.She wanted to object, but she... really did know.In bed, Carl was completely different from his usual cold demeanor - he was truly dominating and relentless.Renee didn

Having finally managed to get out of the parking lot, Renee drove at a steady pace on the road.Seeing the luxury car she was driving, other drivers didn't dare get angry, choosing instead to give way.Halfway through the journey, rush hour traffic started getting heavier.She grew nervous, hitting the brakes hard several times while trying to avoid other cars."Renee, when was the last time you drove?"Carl rubbed his temples - he'd get a concussion from her sudden braking even if he didn't have one already.Renee gripped the steering wheel tighter, thinking back. She wanted to say eight years ago, but that wasn't quite right.Finally, she mumbled: "Sophomore year of college."Though Susanne had made her learn to drive early on, without a car, how could she practice?"Pull over," Carl said, his tone unusually resigned.Renee stopped at the curb.Carl got out and moved to the passenger seat, fastening his seatbelt.Having someone suddenly next to her made Renee even more ne

Carl looked down and noticed Renee standing barefoot. He loosened his hold slightly: "No shoes?"Renee wiggled her toes unconsciously: "Your slippers are too big, they're uncomfortable. I just didn't put them on because I was in a hurry.""I didn't ask."Carl watched her, a hint of a smile playing at his lips.Renee felt awkward and tried to push him away.But in the next moment, he lifted her up and placed her on the kitchen island."Don't move."With that, Carl turned to pick up the broken glass and dispose of it.After making sure there were no more shards, he washed his hands.As Renee tried to get down, he blocked her against the counter.She leaned back slightly, holding him at bay while changing the subject: "Uncle, weren't you hungry? Let me make you some soup?”"Too bland," Carl said in a low voice."What do you want to eat then?"As soon as Renee finished speaking, she met Carl's direct, dominant gaze. Like prey caught by a predator, her whole body trembled.His

After showering, Renee put on the guest room's robe.Looking at the floor-length men's robe, she found it oddly strange.The last time she was here, she hadn't really looked around the house.Now she noticed there wasn't a single trace of Annie's presence.Not even signs of any woman having stayed over.Had Annie never lived here?With these questions in mind, she climbed into bed, her thoughts immediately distracted by the soft down comforter.So comfortable.She rolled over once, closing her eyes.But being in an unfamiliar bed, she tossed and turned, unable to sleep. She could only close her eyes and count stars.She didn't know how many stars she'd counted when she heard a glass shattering next door.This trick again!Renee scoffed, rolling over and pulling the covers over her head, determined to ignore it.She didn't believe a grown man could get into trouble in his own home.But after a while, next door fell completely silent.Renee poked her head out from under th

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
