"What's left to say? She has already taken three years of my life. Do you want her to waste my entire life?" Cedric's casual tone tightened Sophie's lips, her eyes struggling to hold back tears that threatened to spill."Just endure for ten more days. I wish you happiness. Grandpa, I have things to attend to. I'll be leaving now." Sophie turned and left swiftly, just before her tears could fall, feeling something cold hit the back of her hand."You brat!" Seeing Sophie's departure, Jeff furiously swung his cane at Cedric and hit him on the thigh. "Cedric, one day you'll regret this!""Dad, it's Sophie who's determined to divorce. Why are you hitting Cedric? If she wants to divorce, let her!" Melissa was protective of her son, intent on keeping the Carlson family shares away from Sophie."I'll hit this boy however I want!" Jeff retorted fiercely, his cane raised for another strike.Cedric stood immovable, his expression stone-cold. He knew Sophie sought freedom, and if regret came,

Cedric's Rolls-Royce glided to a slow, contemplative halt outside his grand villa. Remaining seated, engine off, he gazed at the stately building with no desire to enter.He rolled down his window, absentmindedly lit a cigarette, and let it slowly burn to ash, never once touching his lips.As darkness enveloped the villa and lights flickered off, he finally stirred and exited the car. Cedric gently pushed the door open and saw the dim light of the living room where Vivienne sat silently on the couch, her demeanor that of a patient lover awaiting her partner's return. At the sound of his arrival, she got up. "I thought you might spend the night outside."Cedric paused, looking up at the closed door upstairs. "Is Ricky asleep?""He couldn't stay awake. He murmured before falling asleep, telling him when you're back."Cedric, am I making things difficult for you? I've already called those news agencies to clarify the misunderstanding and asked them to retract all related reports. I

'Gone?' The word echoed in Jeanna's mind as she slowly grasped the depth of Sophie's loss. Witnessing the raw pain in Sophie's eyes, she immediately squatted beside her. "Sophie, don't cry. I'm right here with you."She wrapped her arms around Sophie, bewildered by the cruel fate that had befallen such kind-hearted people—her parents and Hailey.After a night of tears, Sophie's eyes were swollen the next day, and Jeanna was not much better off. A fierce resolve shone in Jeanna's eyes despite the swelling and dark circles."That bastard, that son of a bitch! Cedric is such a jerk!" Jeanna raged, recalling the last time she saw Cedric. He was blissfully wedded to Sophie, and she had assumed it was the start of a prince and princess' happy ever after. Little did she know that something far less noble lurked behind his princely facade.Sophie freshened up, splashing her face with cold water. She dried off and carefully applied makeup to conceal the signs of her emotional night, offerin

"Is it really that challenging? I guess I should brace myself for a battle then," Jeanna quipped, rubbing her hands together in mock readiness.Sophie tried to suppress her laughter, grateful for Jeanna's company during her darkest days.Tiffany stepped out from her office, eyeing Jeanna with a scrutinizing gaze that softened into a smile of approval. "Who do we have here, Ms. Luxford?""Wow! I finally meet my role model! Hello, Ms. Tiffany, you're so beautiful! I'm Jeanna, the new designer here. Just call me Jean." Jeanna gushed, her enthusiasm evident.Sophie watched, dumbfounded, as her best friend lavished Tiffany with compliments to win her favor. Was this Jeanna's idea of a 'battle'?"Jean, you're such a sweet talker. There's no mistake that you're definitely Ms. Luxford's friend. Don't worry. I'll take good care of you," Tiffany beamed, her vanity appeased. She almost forgot why she had stepped out in the first place. "I need to go to the workshop to make a sample. We'll ca

Sophie's demeanor shifted from a faint smile to a solemn expression. "Linda, could you please have the finance team assess if Luxford Group can sustain itself independently of the Carlsons?"Linda was taken aback. "Ms. Luxford, why this sudden need for independence from the Carlsons?""Because we are different and must pave our own path," Sophie replied firmly.She was determined to ensure Luxford Group's autonomy, especially in light of her impending divorce from Cedric."I understand. I'll notify the finance team right away to get you the data you need," Linda replied. Though surprised, she knew Sophie must have faced a tough decision to consider detaching from Carlson Group.After Linda departed, Sophie sank into her chair, weighed down by exhaustion. The one-month arrangement with Cedric was nearing its end, heralding their final separation.-In the Carlson Group office, Cedric sat pensively, toying with a strand of hair. His expression was a mix of contemplation and uncert

Dr. Snypes accepted the bag and immediately understood the situation. He recalled the recent news that had caused a stir a couple of days ago before suddenly vanishing."No problem, I'll expedite the test and notify you when it's completed.""Thank you, and please keep this matter confidential," Evander said gratefully."Don't worry," Dr. Snypes reassured him.Evander nodded with a smile.Formerly the Chief Surgeon in the Department of Surgery, Dr. Snypes was transferred to the DNA Test Center due to a hand injury sustained in a car accident. He had a long-standing acquaintance with Cedric, which made Evander confident in his discretion regarding this matter.After politely seeing Evander off, Dr. Snypes used tweezers to extract the strand of hair from the bag. He was preparing for DNA extraction when the door swung open from the outside."Ma'am, please wait for your number to be called," Dr. Snypes said without lifting his head.Vivienne walked in with a smile on her tender fa

"A wedding villa?"Dr. Snypes's face revealed a mix of emotions. The car accident had already depleted a significant portion of his savings, and now he found himself stuck in a seemingly hopeless situation.His son's girlfriend insisted on a four-bedroom wedding house, threatening to call off the marriage if her demand wasn't met. This issue had been troubling him and his wife for quite some time."Dr. Snypes, this result doesn't change anything for me, but it'll change a lot for you," Vivienne added, her smile gentle and serene.The more tender and persuasive she appeared, the harder he could resist the temptation.It was a house—a wedding villa located in Imperium, where the real estate market was exorbitant. He couldn't afford it, no matter how hard he worked for the rest of his life."If I were to issue a fake paternity test result, what would you do with it?" Dr. Snypes asked."What can I do? I love Cedric, and you know that. My son is only three years old. He's so young, a

Sean lounged on the couch in a private room at Crimson Bar. The table lacked wine or other spirits, featuring instead a rose gold suitcase, its passcode lock already cracked open. The suitcase lay wide open, revealing a collection of brightly colored clothes that elicited a smirk from Sean."Young lady, you still fancy such flashy clothes despite your age. Still trying to look youthful, huh?" Sean commented."Mr. Cheshire, is this really an appropriate thing to do?" The waiter felt a little uneasy, sensing a violation of privacy while rummaging through someone else's luggage."What's wrong? If someone abandons their belongings for three days, it means they don't want them anymore. Let me ask you this: if you throw a watch into the trash can, does that mean no one else can pick it up through the trash?""Mr. Cheshire, you're certainly not scavenging," the waiter muttered, glancing at him furtively. After all, their employer was the second heir of the infamous Cheshires, literally bo

"I have no reason not to fulfill her desire now, do I?" Cedric said with a frown.'After the divorce, will she get together with Austin? And why do I feel so dejected deep down, and... What's with this reluctance?'-Inside the villa, Vivienne looked at the text message on her phone, a satisfied smirk clearly visible on her face. She then pressed the delete button as if nothing had happened just now.Ricky ran over in slippers, his eyes shining with anticipation. "Mommy, the TV was selling a watch just now. I like it. It can make calls and won't spoil even if I drop it in water.""Are you talking about the Powerflex smartwatch?" Vivienne asked to confirm.As Vivienne uttered the product's complete name, Ricky nodded vigorously and grabbed her arm with his tiny hands. "Yes, that one. Mommy, can I have it?""Of course." Vivienne nodded with a smile, reached out, and rubbed Ricky's delicate cheek. She then crouched down and looked into his big, bright, and clear eyes. "So, Ricky, d

"I don't know how either. After dinner, I gave him a bath and was about to tuck him into bed when I realized his body was extremely warm. I just took his temperature, and it's nearly 40°C. Cedric, what should I do?" Vivienne's tone grew increasingly anxious as she spoke. Her voice even started trembling.Cedric quickly stood up from the couch, grabbed his coat, and said with a solemn expression, "Don't panic. Get him dressed, and I'll be back right away."Seeing him hang up in a rush, Sean stood up as well, "My father always brings up the proverb' blood is thicker than water' during family gatherings. I've always doubted it, but now I believe it. Hurry up. My mother claims that kids can really get brain damage if fevers aren't treated timely."Cedric nodded once and walked out briskly.-Ten minutes later, the Rolls-Royce screeched to a sudden stop at the entrance of the villa. Cedric hurriedly stepped out, opened the door, and found Vivienne already waiting in the living room.
