"Sympathy? I don’t owe her anything, so why should I feel sorry for her?" Louis scoffed at the thought. Why would he sympathize with a woman who accused him of being an incompetent doctor? The fact that he hadn’t cursed her out was already generous enough. Like he said before, her tragic fate
A strange, unsteady feeling stirred inside him."N-No…" Eugene stammered, gripping the steering wheel as he drove, but it was obvious he was even controlling his breathing.Adora leaned back, as if in a good mood, and casually started a conversation. "So, when are you and Ruby planning to reschedul
"Adora Matthews!" Peter’s patience snapped, and he roared so suddenly that the entire room flinched in shock.Lilian quickly stepped forward to soothe her future daughter-in-law. "Julianne, don’t take her words to heart. She was trafficked for three years. She’s not in the right state of mind anymo
Eugene looked helpless, rubbing his temples. "How would I know? Just because she liked me doesn’t mean I liked her. She did go to Adora once, but I thought you already knew…"His words were meant to reassure Ruby, but instead, they completely offended Julianne."Eugene Turner! Who the hell do you t
Peter stared at his own hand, his face twitching with regret. "Ruby, I didn’t mean to… I…" "I don’t want to live anymore!" Ruby wailed, covering her face as she ran up the stairs, sobbing uncontrollably. "Ruby!" Peter started after her, but at that moment, Julianne also turned on her heel and s
Some suggested cutting their positions, others talked about reallocating, while a few saw the dip as an opportunity to buy more.Elliot asked, “Where’s Madame Lee? She’s been pretty quiet since she got back. Is she still recovering?”Coach Ryan responded, “@Madame Lee, any advice?”Miles texted, “It
The entire family panicked and shot to their feet."What do you think you’re doing?!"Without looking back, Adora replied, "Since I’m not allowed to stay in the maid’s quarters anymore, I’ll just move back into my old bedroom.""Mom! Look at her!" Ruby stomped her foot in frustration. "She cannot g
"She suffered?" Adora let out a loud, scornful laugh, sweeping her hand toward the grand estate around her. "She’s been living in this luxury, sleeping in my bedroom, wearing my jewelry, throwing out my clothes, and taking my allowance, all while parading around as the esteemed daughter of the Mat
She extended her hand, revealing a ruby necklace resting in her palm.Ruby, who had been drowning in despair just moments ago, lit up with hope. Her entire demeanor shifted in an instant so much so that she nearly jumped with excitement. "Mom! Look! I told you—she stole it!"Tears still streaked h
Adora let out a slow, deliberate smile before making her move."Ruby, if you admit that you were the one who conspired with those traffickers to have me kidnapped all those years ago, I’ll help you find your precious love token. How about that?"Only Ruby understood the true meaning behind her words
Ruby was thrilled when she heard those words.Outside the maid’s room, Lilian knocked twice—hard and impatient. She didn’t bother waiting for a response before shoving the door open.Adora was seated at the small desk, still reading.Despite the blatant invasion of her space, she remained calm, gla
"Of course. Men are nothing to fuss over."The two burst into laughter before eagerly tidying up the penthouse, already looking forward to picking the perfect day to move in.…Adora returned home in high spirits, humming a tune as she stepped inside.In the living room, Lilian and Ruby were both th
"And who was the one who suddenly changed their mind about selling?"Louis immediately caught her meaning. After a brief pause, he said, "Fine. If you really pay in full, I’ll knock off two hundred thousand dollars."Laura practically bounced with excitement, shaking Adora’s arm. "That’s amazing,
As Adora unleashed her tirade, Laura clung to her sleeve, whispering urgently, "Adora, Adora, please stop... Just let it go!"Louis listened patiently, letting her vent every insult without interruption. Maybe he was too furious to react, or maybe he had suddenly found a newfound sense of tolerance
Louis cut off the agent mid-sentence, his gaze cold and detached. "Is it illegal for me to decide not to sell my house?" The agent flinched. "N-no… it’s not illegal, but you might be missing a good opportunity…" Louis ignored him and was about to leave. Adora let out a slow, amused chuckle, cr
Adora stared at her best friend in disbelief. "You’re not secretly into him, are you?" Laura scoffed. "Not even close. I’m not in his league. Just pure admiration, that’s all." "Not sure he deserves it. Don’t forget what the Walker family does. If he’s investing in medical research and it actual
White-Coat Deity typed, "We'll see next week. If I have time, I'll come."Adora was watching a movie when she noticed her messenger icon flashing repeatedly. She had no choice but to open it and take a look."Meeting up in person?" she typed back.She instinctively resisted the idea. After a momen
