Admittedly, he wanted to throw a tantrum.

When Calista mentioned her plan to lure the snake to reveal its hiding place last night, he disagreed.

However, it seemed this woman wasn't even consulting him for advice at all; she had already made up her mind. She had only informed him for added security.

He said he would consider it, but she wasn't willing to wait that long either. Unfortunately, he had an urgent meeting that afternoon and had to leave for a few hours.

Never would he have thought that this would be enough time for things to go south at this critical moment.

Nevertheless, seeing Calista leaning there weakly, her eyes red and teary as she stared at him, he couldn't bring himself to lash out at her.

Lucian pursed his lips. He gulped, reluctantly suppressing his anger.

He began coldly, "Have you always been this stubborn?"

She was then, and she still is now.

"If you think there's something fishy about Mom's death, I can very well investigate for you. You didn't need to

    Had it been any other matter, Lucian could have investigated it himself. There wouldn't have been a need for Paul's input. However, this was something he had no way of finding out on his own.It was about Calista's inner thoughts, something only she could reveal. So, besides Yara, Paul was probably the only person who knew.The former was her bosom friend and the latter was his best buddy, as well as their intermediary. While he hesitated, Paul seized the opportunity and dragged Lucian out of the room.As soon as the door clicked shut, his hand dropped, and he turned toward his room next door. Lucian wasn't mad. It was all within his expectations.He raised an eyebrow and said, "Aren't we going for a drink?"Paul didn't look back."We've already fallen out like this. What's the point of a drink? You may have the nerve to help yourself, but I can't bring myself to buy you something."It was nothing more than an excuse to lure Lucian out of Calista's room."What impression did Ca

    David immediately closed his eyes and couldn't care less about the difference in status as he shoved the thing in his hands to Lucian without thinking twice."Oh no, Mr. Northwood, something got into my eyes. It's hurting so much. Can you please check what this is and if it's any useful to you? Please handle it yourself."At this moment, he wished that he was blind. Why was he so unlucky? Why did he have to accept the parcel and open it in front of Mr. Northwood?In the envelope was a photo. The background of the photo was probably a nightclub and its decor must be at least from more than ten years ago.It was so shiny and tacky that anyone who saw it would be blinded. It was a place where the filthy rich would gather.But all these were not important, the most important thing was that the person in the photo was Madam Calista!She was scantily clad and in the embrace of another man. Even though her dress was rather conservative when compared to other skimpy dresses normally seen

    Dinner was simple enough to make. The weather had been hot for the past two days and Calista was a little tired of eating out in Aphton. Therefore, she decided to go vegetarian today.She rinsed and cut the vegetables before blanching and dishing them up. She then drizzled some sauce on top. Dinner was ready in less than fifteen minutes.Lucian saw her walking out with two plates of blanched vegetables for dinner. The vegetables still looked raw.He frowned and said, "Is this a token of appreciation for me or animal feed?"Calista took back the plate that she was giving him and said, "I'm sorry this is too simple for you. That's why I asked when you would be free. I'll make a dinner reservation for us at a ten-star restaurant as my token of appreciation."Lucian lowered his volume and, unbelievably, he sounded a little hurt."I didn't say that I didn't want it. Besides, we only have five-star restaurants in the whole of our country.""If I didn't exaggerate it, it wouldn't befit

    Calista smiled lightly. Her eyes had a mischievous glimmer, yet she had a mocking smile."Do you think it's a coincidence?" Lucian released her and lifted his hand to tuck in the strands of hair behind her ear, saying, "No, it's not a coincidence. There are plenty of sleazy affairs in this industry, but I have never been involved in any. So don't ask me if I know about anything in the future." "I've only been involved in one, and it's with you. In that case, I was the one who willingly approached you." Lucian rarely sweet-talked. His attempt at flattery was straightforward and passionate, like those letters Hector wrote back in their schooling days. They were filled with poetic phrases. Therefore, she was unsure whether Lucian was confessing his love or answering her question. As she was lost in thought, he had already changed his shoes. "I'll leave first. You did well. You should rest early." She was recently addicted to watching TV dramas and was reminded of how men woul

    Calista had already seen Zachary's state before Lucian could cover her eyes. His hands were over his head, and he was curled into a ball. His blood and urine were mixed all over the ground. It was a filthy sight to see. Each time she saw Zachary, he appeared even more miserable and destitute. Calista could no longer remember the proud look he once had as the head of a household. Calista pulled down Lucian's hand that was over her eyes and said, "Let's go." Lucian seized her hand, intertwining their fingers. When he tightened his grip, he felt something sticky on his fingertips. He realized he might have gotten some of Zachary's blood on his hand. He lifted their hands and noticed a red streak on Calista's fair hard. Some blood had also splashed on her face. He frowned, and someone immediately handed him a towel."Mr. Northwood, please clean your hands." Lucian took it, first wiping the blood off Calista's face and hands carefully, then casually wiping his own. There we

    Calista disinfected the wound and said, "Hmm, I understand. Anyway, thank you.""They were able to erase all traces of themselves from the scene quickly and get a scapegoat to take the blame. There are no more than ten organizations in Apthon capable of this. I've sent people to watch them, but it might take some time."Apthon wasn't his domain. It wouldn't be easy to unearth the foundations established there over many years.After all, their efforts would be in vain if the mastermind behind the scenes could be uncovered so easily.In this case, they acted quite cautiously and had many backup plans. Lucian was afraid he might alert them if he handled things carelessly.It would make it more difficult to apprehend them in the future. He had to tread carefully, which would take some effort.He suspected even those photos of Calista were somehow connected to these people. However, he couldn't figure out why. Perhaps it was to drive a wedge between them.A wound on Lucian's knuckle

    All the way home, Calista could still feel Lucian's heavy gaze on her back. Yara was squatting beside the table, peeling some shrimp in gloves. The meat was neatly arranged aside. She looked over as the door opened to see Calista taking off her shoes. "Why are you in such a rush? Is there someone after you?" Calista glanced at the table. Nothing else had been touched besides the barbeque meat, which had cooled down. "Why aren't you eating?" "I was waiting for you," Yara replied, taking off her gloves to pour a glass of wine for her. "You didn't say you wouldn't be coming back. I can't finish all this food by myself. I was peeling the shrimp while waiting for you. If you had not returned after I'm done, I would have eaten." Calista was a bit thirsty and took a big gulp of the wine."Is this your idea of a diet?" Yara didn't respond well to the comment and began to vent her frustration."I am tired! Do all the people around Lucian have issues like him? They say that buy

    Calista had initially intended to get some information from Liam. However, instead of getting anything useful out of him, she had gotten herself into a predicament. "I don't have any room for you here. You'll have to figure something out." Paul's apartment had a one-bedroom layout, and even if there were extra rooms, she couldn't possibly let a stranger like Liam, who didn't know anything about her, move in. "I'm your bodyguard, I have to protect you. How can I do that if I’m not with you every step of the way? I can sleep on the couch."He frowned, realizing that there wasn't any extra room for him here. Calista didn't back down at all."You can buy a tent and set it up outside. I’m just a business associate with the man you mentioned. I haven't even seen his face, and I don't even know if we're talking about the same person. Do you think, under these circumstances, I can trust someone he hired to stay in my home?" The mysterious man must be the man they were referring to. B

    With Cade covering Cameron's mouth, there was no chance for her pointed words to offend anyone in the room. His palm was cool to the touch. It was a sensation she disliked. So, she couldn't help but tilt her head.When Cade noticed her movements, he gently stroked her cheek as if he were calming a child who was throwing a tantrum.Victor spent years in a position of authority, giving him an air of unspoken authority. His gaze hardened, and his lips pressed into a firm line as he watched Cade. "Cade, don't jeopardize the long-standing relationship between our families over a woman.""If that's how you see it." Cade glanced at the door. "Aren't you doing the same for a woman?"Victor snorted contemptuously. "How can a cheap girl who was merely adopted be worth anything compared to Mirabelle?""How is my daughter, a Yorksworth, worth any less than yours?" Blaire stood at the doorway as she took in the occupants of the home with her sharp gaze. She had been feeling restless ever sin

    Mirabelle frowned. "Excuse me?"As soon as she finished speaking, Cameron walked up to her, grabbed her by her hair, and forcefully bent her over.Cameron held up the guest list Monica had sent her and shoved it in Mirabelle's face. "Call them. Tell them to be there by 3:00 p.m., or else…"She tightened her grip threateningly. "You can kiss this head of hair goodbye."Mirabelle pressed down on her scalp where it had been pulled, her voice distorted with pain when she spoke."Let go, Cameron! Are you out of your mind?""Didn't I tell you not to involve anyone else in our feud?""Can't take it anymore?"Mirabelle endured the pain of turning her head to flash a disdainful sneer at Cameron."This is just the appetizer. If you go against me, you'll eventually crawl out of Capeton with your tail between your legs. I'll call your business partner right now and pin the catastrophic failure of this event on you…"Seeing Mirabelle's condescending expression brought Cameron back to the

    The kiss lifted the dark cloud that hung over Cade's mood over the past few days.The next day, as Fabian brought in documents for him to sign, Cade asked, "When is Cameron's show?"Fabian was taken aback for a split second but quickly replied. Fortunately, he was well-prepared and kept track of Cameron's events for the year in advance."Has the invitation been delivered?"Fabian swallowed, almost wanting to laugh to mock Cade. Given Cade's strained relationship with his wife, Cameron would sooner invite a dog than have him around. However, all Fabian could do was revel in Cade's misery in his mind while keeping a businesslike facade."It was probably already delivered. The front desk brought in a stack of mail yesterday. I haven't sorted it out yet."He had already sorted out the mail this morning. Everything had gone straight to the trash."Clear my schedule for the day. Make reservations at a restaurant for a celebratory dinner.""Yes, sir."On the day of the show, Monica

    That was obviously an excuse to get Cade out of the picture. Knowing what Mirabelle had done to Cameron in the past, leaving the two of them alone was out of the question. Besides, it wasn't convenient for him to move the car, so he refused without a second thought."Get the attendant—"However, Cameron cut him off before he could finish."Ms. Ackerman is a guest. You should fulfill her requests if she has any."Cade cast her a cold glance. "Shut up." Why should he dance to Mirabelle's tune?Cameron stared at him. "Run along."He gritted his teeth as rage crossed his face. After a brief pause, he sneered and turned to leave. As soon as the door shut behind him, Mirabelle's calm expression slipped. "Did you make me come here just to show off how much you two love each other?""You call that love? I think we have different definitions of what 'love' is then. He's nothing more than…" Cameron's fingers lightly traced the cup's rim as she smirked and said, "A lap dog.""You fu

    Cameron crossed her arms over her chest and gave the bouquet in Cade's hands a nonchalant glance."What are you trying to pull, Mr. Carter?""Fabian said it was Women's Day today.""So what?"There was silence all around. The sound of soothing music could be heard through the door. Cade was silent for a while. "We're not getting a divorce, Cameron."It was the same old topic that Cameron had grown too weary of. She turned around and felt for the cigarette box on the table. There was already a layer of cigarette butts in the ashtray next to it. Judging by the color of the lipstick marks, more than half of them were hers.Cade frowned. He clearly disapproved of her smoking but kept himself from stopping her.Smoke curled from between her lips. The flickering embers of the cigarette reflected in her eyes, softening her indifferent gaze. Through the thin haze, Cameron's lips curled into a wide, unrestrained smile. Every time she smiled in this way, it always filled Cade with a

    Cade began unbuckling his belt as he spoke. When it came to this sort of thing, men often had a strong sense of competition, especially in the presence of a woman they were interested in."Such a dark atmosphere isn't right for our situation."Cameron didn't like him to begin. In such a dark atmosphere, there was no telling what kind of grotesque creature she might imagine him to be. It would be strange if she felt attraction for him.She leveled a steady stare at him. Cade's shirt was half undone, showing his tense muscles underneath. Under the influence of alcohol, his skin took on a faint reddish hue. There was a heart-pounding tension in the air as if something was about to ignite. Occasionally, his slightly heavy breaths could be heard."You haven't been working out recently, have you?" Cameron asked.Cade was confused.Cameron pressed her hand against his chest, right below his ribs, and gave it a little push. After a moment, she commented, "Your muscles are a little soft

    Cade tossed his phone onto the table in frustration when he saw who entered. He pressed his hand against his brow."Leave. You should see Diane for a work uniform.""Are you feeling unwell, Mr. Carter?" Rosalia approached the desk with a glass of milk in hand. "I learned how to give massages. Why don't I…" "Get out."Cade abruptly got to his feet and avoided Rosalia's outstretched hand, causing the milk to spill all over him. He glanced down at his now-stained shirt with a dark expression and pressed his lips tightly together. After a long pause, he asked through clenched teeth, "Did my wife ask you to send this up?" Every syllable was pronounced with the gnashing of teeth.Rosalia froze under his piercing gaze."It really was Mrs. Carter who asked me to bring it to you, sir," she stammered."Leave. From now on, you will not enter my study unless you have permission."Rosalia had come to work as a housekeeper to land herself a wealthy husband. She had even bribed the manager

    On the next day, Cameron was discussing the fashion show with Monica when she suddenly heard a familiar voice from behind. "Cammie…" It was Blaire.Although Monica didn't fully know about Cameron's past, she didn't like Blaire at all. What kind of mother wouldn't protect their own child, after all?However, it wasn't appropriate for her to intervene as much even though she was Cameron's close friend. After all, it was Cameron's family matter.Monica stood up with her notebook in hand and said, "Well, I just remembered that there's still a few more invitations to send, so I'll go and take care of that. Let's discuss more about the fashion show later."After saying that, she glanced at Blaire and left without even greeting her.Cameron got up and nodded at Blaire. "Is something the matter?"She thought that her distant attitude last night had made it clear enough that she didn't want any more involvement with the Yorksworth family. She didn't expect that Blaire would come and loo

    Cameron pushed the door open. She looked tired as she laid down her bag. As she changed her shoes, she caught sight of the food on the dining table out of the corner of her eye."Diane, didn't I tell you I wasn't coming back for dinner? Why did you make so much food?"Diane glanced upstairs. "It's for Mr. Carter. He hasn't eaten yet."The moment Cade was mentioned, Cameron dropped the topic. She rubbed her sore shoulder as she headed upstairs. "I see.""Madam…" Diane called out hesitantly, looking troubled. "Mr. Carter asked you to call him down for dinner when you got home.""Me? Call him down for dinner?" Cameron stopped in her tracks and turned around in confusion. "Why?""Mr. Carter seems to be upset. Did you two have another fight?""So If he's in a bad mood, I'm supposed to go upstairs and invite him down to eat? Should I also say 'Your meal is ready, my liege!' while I'm at it?" Cameron scoffed. Her sarcastic smirk quickly faded. "He can eat if he wants. If he doesn't,
