The woman in the painting appeared to be in her thirties. She had a classic oval face, gracefully arched eyebrows, and plump lips that seemed to carry a perpetual, enigmatic smile.

But lurking in her eyes was an unmistakable air of ambition, making her appear somewhat unapproachable.

Calista's artwork was exceptionally lifelike. It captured every detail, including the faint freckles beside the woman's nose bridge. Hugo furrowed his brows as he examined the woman in the painting.

"That's how she looked over a decade ago. She should be in her fifties now. Her looks hadn't changed much, but she's gathered a few more wrinkles over the years," Calista remarked.

The last time they had been in Apthon, she only managed to glimpse Julia's profile.

Worried that her portrayal might not be accurate and could mislead others, Calista had opted to depict Julia in her younger days.

Hugo carefully stowed away the painting and replied, "I can't put a name to her face."

He was confident this woman

    Calista glanced at the document provided by the staff and discovered that the family member on record was Charlene Blake.She was registered as the deceased's sister, and her phone number was recorded.There wasn't much additional information in the records, so Calista snapped a photo of the document and left the office with Hugo.Calista couldn't confirm whether Charlene and Julia were the same person until June 16, the day she intended to pay her respects.Until then, she had to be careful and avoid revealing their investigation too soon. Hugo and Calista returned to their car respectively."I'll look into this woman named Julia that you mentioned. If you're not keen on going abroad, avoid traveling until we've identified the mastermind behind all this," Hugo advised.Calista agreed, "Alright, I appreciate your help."Hugo didn't head straight home but instead went to Jean's house. It was a suburban villa in a relatively new development area constructed over the past few years

    Throughout the journey, Calista couldn't shake the thoughts of the tombstone. She pondered whether it was a case of mistaken identity or, indeed, her mother's resting place.If it was the latter, she wondered who had placed it and what purpose it served. Calista unlocked her phone and stared at the numbers while approaching a red traffic light."Charlene ..." she muttered.Suddenly, Lucian's call came through."Hello," Calista answered."Where are you?" Lucian spoke in a deep, indifferent voice."I'm ..."Suddenly, Yara's voice interrupted her urgently, "Calista, you're in trouble. This guy ..."Midway through her sentence, Lucian, on the other end of the line, raised his hand, and Yara fell silent. She had forgotten that Lucian had paid her for changing her mind.Yara started to regret her decision and reluctantly corrected herself through clenched teeth."Mr. Northwood deceived me."Yara's face was contorted by a fierce, seething hatred, as though she longed to rip Lucian

    Calista scanned her memory but couldn't recall any significant event associated with June 13th."Is it Father's Day? But isn't that on the third Sunday of June?" she replied.Lucian grumbled, "It's the day we got married."Calista blurted out, "Haven't we already divorced ..."Mid-sentence, Calista realized her reply might not be the most romantic thing to say in this dreamy and romantic setting. Memories of her past came flooding back.Calista was burdened with debts and confined to her home due to online harassment when she married Lucian.She couldn't even remember the exact date of their wedding since getting married had been a spontaneous decision."You remembered," Calista said.She was surprised. Calista's remark wasn't intended to be sarcastic nor to resurface old grievances.She was genuinely surprised as Lucian had never celebrated their anniversary during their three years of marriage."Of course, I remember. It's you who forgets," Lucian snorted, looking somewhat

    Lucian was not one to utter sweet nothings, even though he was exceptionally considerate and attentive to Calista now. His rare confessions made them all the more powerful.Calista turned her head, avoiding his gaze that disrupted her thought, and pulled her hand away. However, Lucian didn't loosen his grip. Instead, he held on tighter."After knowing I've had feelings for you all these years, you've got nothing to say?"Lucian appeared calm, but deep down, he was filled with nerves and anxiety as he posed his question. He had waited years for her response.Calista bit her lip, intending to put on a stern face to tease him, but she burst into laughter before continuing her act."You fool. How could you confess to the wrong person?" she commented.Lucian explained, "I saw you there before approaching, but I didn't expect ..."He didn't expect things to turn out that way.Calista rolled her eyes and added sarcastically, "I suppose it's destiny playing tricks on us. That's why we'

    Lucian shot Calista a slightly exasperated glance."I'm nothing like the unfaithful guy in the movie. Lily and I never kissed, never slept together, I never made any promises, and we never even got to the stage of considering getting married."Calista remained silent."I was kind to her, not only because of her dad. I wanted to see if it would make you jealous," Lucian explained.However, Lucian observed that Calista showed no signs of jealousy. He was infuriated, feeling like he had made a big mistake.Calista stood up and whispered, "I was jealous.""What?" Lucian asked."How could you be so clueless ..."Suddenly, Lucian abruptly stood up and drew Calista into his embrace from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder before she could finish her sentence."Callie, I heard you," he whispered."So, why did you ask?" Calista retorted."I just wanted to hear it again, you know. You've never spoken any tender words or shown any affection toward me, not even when we were married

    Lucian couldn't help but be baffled at Hector's bizarre logic."Why should I be held responsible for letting you borrow my car?" He scoffed."I was still physically impaired at the time. According to traffic laws, I wasn't allowed to drive," Hector commented.Lucian sneered, "So, you're ready to throw me under the bus just to shift the blame, huh?"Calista massaged her forehead in exasperation, wondering if these two men had some sort of grudge from a past life.Every time they were in each other's company, it inevitably led to bickering and arguments."What do you want me to do?" Calista asked Hector.She couldn't possibly bring Allie to Everglade Manor, could she?"Considering her current state, it seems like she's dodging something she doesn't want to deal with. I'm not the right person to convince her, being a big guy and all. So, I thought maybe you could give it a try," Hector explained, believing the car accident wouldn't have caused Allie's amnesia.Calista glanced tow

Eventually, he was compelled to marry the heiress, and his childhood sweetheart became his secret lover, hidden from the public eye."Lucian started sharing, and Calista listened with great interest, hoping for more details. However, Lucian's knowledge was limited, and he had already shared all he knew."However, these are just rumors. Only the parties involved know what's going on," Lucian explained.Calista commented, "Forced? He was just after her money, plain and simple. If he can't handle criticism, why even engage in such despicable actions to begin with? It's just an excuse to mask how awful he is."Lucian remained silent, not wanting to argue with her."So, what does this h

Asking these offbeat questions won't get you anywhere.""We're not exactly close, are we? I'm not exactly committed to answering your calls and don't need to explain myself. Your relentless phone game is not just annoying. It could get you in trouble. I've been kind enough not to involve the police, so you should consider yourself lucky. And now you're wondering why I haven't picked up your call," Calista sneered.Vivian fell into silence, rendered speechless by Calista's sharp retort.Eventually, she said, "It's no surprise, coming from someone with your background. Manners aren't your strong suit."Calista retorted, "Well-mannered people don't typically engage in clothes-snatching, do they?"Just then, the sales associate serving Calista hurried over and unwrapped the clothing.She said, "Feel f

    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,
