"It's so late. Wouldn't it be a bad idea to call him out now?"Luke is always very busy. After work, he takes Zac to business dinners. I handed Zac some hangover medicine I had prepared, not sure if Luke was home yet at this hour.I glanced at Wendy as I spoke."Hey, I know I'm beautiful, but you don't have to stare at me like you're smitten."Wendy is like a blooming flower, striking and captivating, especially under the mottled light of the night, which makes her even more enchanting. If she stood next to Luke Wen, they would look perfect together—a beautiful woman and a handsome man.I couldn't help but feel tempted to match them up."Wendy, you've been mentioning Luke a lot lately. Could it be that you..." I trailed off, giving her a teasing look."If I liked Luke, I'd curse myself to gain ten pounds."When Wendy was young, she loved to eat. When her parents were still together, they spoiled her, and the family chef would make whatever she wanted to eat in various ways.Th

I couldn't help but laugh at Wendy's story.As I reflected on the past, I looked at Wendy with renewed interest. "Even if you gained ten pounds at your height and weight, you'd just have a more curvy figure.""Twenty pounds! No, forty pounds! If I liked Luke, I'd gladly gain forty pounds," Wendy declared."Wow, Wendy, that's harsh!"Wendy couldn't stand the thought of gaining weight. She was extremely strict about her weight, and gaining forty pounds would be worse for her than being handed a knife to end it all.Her words were convincing, and I felt a twinge of regret. They would have made such a good-looking couple! But if Wendy didn't have those feelings for Luke, there was nothing I could do."I was afraid you would let your imagination run wild. If I gave an ambiguous answer, you might end up writing a whole dramatic novel about an elite romance tonight," Wendy explained."Why dramatic? Sweet romances are popular now! The heiress of the Smith family and the partner of JL Ca

KiwiKisser_: Francis Muller looks decent, but he doesn't do anything decent.SugarRushWarrior: Let me see what's happened. Last time Francis Muller cheated and got divorced, I criticized him and got banned for six months. How did the tide change so quickly now?MerryMelonade: This guy has done plenty of disgusting things. A few years ago, someone posted about how he used his position to harass female employees. The comments were full of people defending him, saying the poster was delusional. They argued that Francis had money and looks, so why would he stoop so low? They bullied the poster into deleting the post and disappearing from the internet. Now that Francis has been exposed, everyone owes that poster an apology.TinyTrainer: The investigation is still ongoing. The police haven't released any results yet, but you all are already sentencing him. You're worse than the police with your judgments.This sparked a fierce online debate, dividing people into two camps. Some revealed

"Do you really think I would believe you? I found out that Stephen represented you in your divorce case, so it's clear that my husband's case must be connected to you!""If you are determined to believe that, then so be it," I replied, realizing that there was no point in trying to explain further. "The police are currently investigating the case. Causing trouble for me won't be of any help.""You have a connection with Stephen. Tell him to convince his clients to withdraw their complaints! Otherwise, I won't stop until you do.""Do whatever you want."Stephen's law firm is currently gathering information and evidence online, and many people have already come forward. Given Stephen's capabilities, it won't be long before there are new developments in the case.Everyone faces the consequences of their actions. Francis believed he could harass women simply because he had money, but his downfall was inevitable.Even if Stephen and I were close, I wouldn't let Mandy's threats persuad

"You're not leaving!" Mandy blocked my path as I waved down a taxi. "Take me to see Stephen!""If you want to see him, go to his office."Who did Mandy think she was, ordering me around?"You think I haven't tried? I waited at his office all day and never even saw him! He's hiding those clients, and I can't get in touch with them. I don't even have a chance to speak with them!""Are you planning to bribe or threaten them to drop the case?"Mandy thought money could solve everything. I knew her ways well enough from our previous encounters. "Mandy, let me be clear. Stephen's clients won't drop the case. If you don't want a divorce, then spend your money on getting Francis a good lawyer. But no matter who you hire, you'll still lose.""Jen, because of what you said, I swear I'll get my husband out of this with his head held high!" Mandy declared firmly."I'll be waiting for that day."Stephen must have solid evidence. Mandy's dream of Francis getting off scot-free was just a fant

When I mentioned this to Wendy, she said that arrogant people often face consequences. She told me that if I ever saw Stephen in a vulnerable moment, I would realize that he is just as human as the rest of us."Know your enemy and know yourself, and you'll win every battle. Mandy is Francis's wife; Stephen will keep a close eye on her movements," Luke said.He leaned back against the seat. The open window allowed the wind to ruffle Luke's usually neat hair, giving him a more casual appearance."You seem to know Stephen's working style well," I observed.Luke and Stephen were both top performers in their respective fields. It's true that exceptional people often attract each other."We work in different industries, but our approaches to handling matters are quite similar," Luke replied.Indeed, JL Capital always conducted thorough research and risk assessments on potential partner companies for every project. The principle was the same.I nodded, remembering the food I had ordere

"Ms. Middleton, we've arrived at Johnsonville Bistro.""I... I'll get out right away."The driver's words snapped me back to reality. My face felt warm as I responded, hastily avoiding Luke's gaze. I opened the car door and stepped out, walking towards the left side of the car."Jen," Luke called out.I clutched my bag tightly, stopped, and turned around.He was leaning his arm on the car window, smiling, looking extremely pleased.Was he amused by my flustered state?How annoying!I quickly turned away.Luke: "Johnsonville Bistro is on the right side.""..." I looked up to see a maternity store directly across from me. The bistro didn't have good parking, so the driver had stopped on the opposite side.I had been so fixated on Luke that I was now doubly embarrassed, my face turning an even deeper shade of red.Feeling mortified, I didn't dare look back and hurried across the street.This stretch of road had little traffic at night. I crossed and entered the bistro.The c

"I'll definitely remember!"Despite her promise, Marianne showed up at my doorstep with breakfast again the next morning."Marianne..."My tone was a mix of helplessness and playful complaint."I... I might be getting old and forgetful. I'll see a doctor this morning after I finish my chores," Marianne said, looking slightly guilty.She had genuinely forgotten!I quickly reassured her, "It's okay, Marianne. I haven't had breakfast yet anyway."Forgetfulness is common with age, but it's still important to get checked at the hospital to rule out any medical causes for memory decline. "I'm very busy at work today and can't accompany you to the hospital, but please call me if anything comes up.""It's just a doctor's visit. I can manage. Don't worry about me and focus on your work," Marianne urged. "It's getting late. Hurry and eat your breakfast, or you'll be late.""Take care, Marianne."As I watched her leave, I looked down at the delicate breakfast set on my plate, feeling to

Half an hour later, the simulation test came to an end, and the impressive visual effects left me eagerly anticipating the upcoming real-world tests.If autonomous cars could navigate extremely complex environments successfully, it would significantly reduce traffic accidents and be a boon for many consumers. Technology truly has the power to change lives.At the test site, Luke and I, along with others, sat in the stands. Below us was a modified racetrack filled with various obstacles designed to simulate challenging driving conditions. Professional testers were ready.However, real-world driving conditions can change in an instant, whereas the simulated obstacles were fixed. This made the test results less convincing to me, and my excitement dwindled.I thought I hid my feelings well, but Neil called me out."Ms. Middleton, have you ever used an autonomous driving system?""No, I haven't."I've always driven traditional gas cars. Wendy is much more receptive to new technology

What Luke was implying was that the obstacles on the track were too simple. Neil understood Luke's criticism and explained, "We have our own testing ground, but due to the heavy rain today, we had to move indoors. The indoor space is limited and doesn't allow for complex maneuvers.""Testing in the rain is crucial."Driving in the rain increases the risk of accidents, making rain tests more convincing.I opened the test report that I had been holding, but there was no mention of rain testing.Luke noticed Neil's troubled expression and asked, "Have you not tested in the rain, or does the success rate drop significantly in such conditions?""Our success rate in the rain is around seventy percent," Neil admitted, looking a bit defeated."Around seventy percent? Do you expect consumers to stay home whenever it rains?""We've optimized the sensors, but the increased sensitivity has introduced some issues we haven't resolved yet.""These issues include adverse weather interfering wi
