But honestly, it's just a title. I don't have the power to make any major decisions," Emilia explained, her hesitation apparent.To any observer, it was clear that Emilia wanted no part in Rosa's messy affairs. She was keeping her distance from the situation.However, Rosa, being the President's beloved niece, couldn't grasp Emilia's detachment."Emilia, Lana's fate lies entirely in your hands. A simple nod from you is all I need. I assure you, I will take care of the rest," Rosa persisted, trying to sway Emilia's decision.Emilia's patience wore thin, her frustration evident in the furrow of her brow.

"Grandma, it's my responsibility. I feel like I've fallen short as a mother. I'll talk to Rosa right away," Joyce uttered.Priscilla sighed disapprovingly and added, "You know you could've done better, right? Remember, if you can't handle it, someone else will."Joyce nodded, her humility evident. "I understand, Grandma. I promise to make amends."Priscilla, with her trademark blend of criticism and kindness, remarked, "I was just offering some advice. There's no need to get all worked up. By the way, didn't Rosa want to talk with you?"Joyce left the chapel, visibly upset, and made her way home."Rosa, could you please come out here for a moment?" Joyce exclaimed from outside Rosa's room.Startled, Rosa, who was holding a bag of potato chips, opened the door. She asked, "Mom, why are you shouting like that?

Liam's sudden revelation took Lana completely by surprise, leaving her momentarily speechless.The two security guards, having seen the photo, exchanged knowing glances. They began to share their thoughts, both shaking their heads in disbelief."It's fascinating how wealth can transform people. They can be all affectionate one day and act like strangers the next.""Yeah, if my daughter ever pulled something like that, I'd have to step in and establish some rules."The spa's security guards consisted of retired veterans from the neighborhood.Lana had hand-picked them during a period of unemployment to form a security company responsible for safeguarding all her properties in Dawsbury City.These seasoned guards had encountered many situations over the years. They couldn't help but be disheartened by the younger generation's casual attitude toward relationships.People could warmly embrace someone one day, only to witness that same person act like a stranger the very next day.Y

Lana and Liam left the restaurant together, but Liam suddenly stopped and turned to look at the restaurant's entrance. Liam had always been calm, but just a moment ago, Lana detected a trace of wariness in his gaze."What's wrong?" she asked. Liam shook his head. He turned and led her forward. "It's nothing."Lana assumed he just saw an acquaintance and didn't give it a second thought. Liam was still a bit wary, but he hoped he was just being paranoid.Emilia waited until Liam and Lana were out of sight before finally stepping out of the restaurant. Unknowingly, she had broken out in a cold sweat.Although she couldn't make out their faces clearly, the gaze of the man beside Lana was too piercing. Even from a distance, Emilia felt like she was being stared at by a predator.She couldn't imagine what it would be like if she was closer to him. She would probably be completely paralyzed with fear.She usually had a commanding presence. Even her family was apprehensive around h

After Lana brought it up, the manager was also puzzled. "Was the person scared silly?"Lana felt that things were not that simple.However, the person had already been taken into custody, and many things remained uncertain. Lana believed it would be best to wait for the official results from the police. Due to the incident, Enjoy Spa had to temporarily suspend its operations. Lana swiftly made the decision to grant paid leave to the employees unrelated to the incident. They would be informed on when to return to work as well.The employees were overwhelmed with gratitude. They had never met such a reasonable and generous employer before. So, after expressing their gratitude to Lana, they happily returned home.Lana returned to her apartment alone and couldn't sleep all night.She couldn't help but feel that something was off. This happened at such an important time. It couldn't have been just a coincidence.The incident sparked a media frenzy. The next day, the internet was b
