"Sorry won't cut it. Have you considered whether you're a suitable match for Cedric? I am extremely dissatisfied with you!"Don’t think that just because Cedric acknowledged you as his fiancée, you can become Mrs. Carlson. Let me tell you, dreaming about entering our family’s doors is just that—a dream!"Vivienne listened with her head down, fists clenched beneath her oversized pajamas. The charity gala had not only humiliated her but had also undermined her years of effort to please Melissa.Only when Melissa’s tirade subsided did Vivienne look up. "I know I haven’t been perfect, disgracing you and Cedric. But this incident was deliberately orchestrated.""Orchestrated? By whom?""Sophie. She’s back. She embarrassed Cedric at the charity gala with a high bid and arranged for someone to push me into the water. Worse, she locked Tristan in the basement storage room," said Vivienne as she played the victim card.Melissa’s expression changed dramatically. 'Sophie’s back?' she though

The elite attendees at the charity gala were aware that Sophie owned Paramount Inc., but the general public was in the dark about these internal dynamics.There was widespread speculation that Luxford Group might soon be absorbed by Paramount Inc. Many even expressed pity for Sophie, assuming she had passed away, leaving her husband and company in the hands of others.-"You heartless creature, daring to show your face again!" Tiffany vented in the office, leaving Darren flustered by her side."Dear, please calm down.""Ms. Luxford, she's just hormonal. Please don't take it personally."Despite the scolding, Sophie appeared amused. Her gaze, twinkling with mirth, landed on Tiffany's slightly protruding belly. "If it would help, I could leave again. That would save me the hassle of buying a gift.""You wish. You owe me at least three substantial gifts!" Tiffany retorted.Without Sophie's intervention five years ago, she and Darren might have wasted more time. This could have led

"S-Sophie, what do you want?" Melissa's voice trembled. The years had changed Sophie, surrounding her with an intimidating aura not present before."You’re asking me? I should be the one asking you. Why lurk outside my company for days? You’ve really gone to great lengths.""You knew all along?" Melissa was taken aback that Sophie was aware of her presence. Her fear swiftly transformed into anger. "This is your doing, isn't it?""Yes, it was deliberate. If I hadn't made you wait, how else could I have savored that look of shock and fear on your face?" Sophie said, pointing at Melissa’s face with a smile."You...," Melissa started to retort, but Sophie suddenly grabbed her finger and twisted it, causing Melissa to lean over.The frightened driver glanced back, only to be met with Sophie's chilling gaze. Quickly, he redirected his attention to the road.Melissa saw the driver pretending to be clueless, feeling extremely resentful but powerless to do anything about it."I asked you

"I recently moved to this area," the lively young woman replied. "I woke up early today and decided to come here for some fresh air. The air in the park is so much cleaner than the rest of the city. I feel like breathing it in might add a few more years to my life!"Her enthusiasm was infectious, dispelling Matthew's initial hesitation. "Yes, the park has an excellent environment. Running here rejuvenates me daily. May I know your name?"She hesitated before responding. "My name is Naomi.""Pleased to meet you, Naomi. Please, continue enjoying your book. I hope we meet again tomorrow."Naomi nodded and settled back on the grass.Matthew resumed his jogging, though he found himself glancing back several times.-At the apartment, Sophie prepared an extravagant breakfast. Glancing at the wall clock and noting it was 6:30 a.m., she took off her apron and entered Cherry's princess-themed room."Little sweetheart, still not up? Do you plan on being late on your first day of school?"

"Evander, I feel like going to the nearby mall. You can return to the office and carry on with your work. I'll take a cab home after shopping," Vivienne told Evander, who reluctantly agreed before driving off.After Evander's car vanished, Vivienne hailed a taxi. Instead of going to the mall, she instructed the driver to head towards Easton.-In the principal's office, Sophie introduced Cherry with a smile. "Mr. Levant, please take good care of this little one.""It's my pleasure. Sophie, your presence here truly delights me. Be assured, this child is intelligent and capable. She's sure to surpass us all.""Thank you for the compliment, Principal Levant. I'll do my best," Cherry replied, performing a polite bow that instantly charmed William Levant."Such a well-behaved child. I'll have her class teacher take her to the classroom right away.""Charity, remember to be good, okay?""Don't worry, Mommy, I'll be the best." With a cheeky grin, Cherry waved goodbye to her mother and
