Chapter 561

The photo hadn’t changed. Could it be that Jethro’s rumored girlfriend just looked similar to Penelope?I zoomed in on the picture, examining it closely. Left and right, I scrutinized every detail, and then I noticed a faint mole near the corner of her eye. That confirmed it—the person in the photo was definitely Penelope.Penelope, dating Jethro? How could that be? Why would she expose her own relationship?I quickly skimmed through the article. The report didn’t mention Penelope by name, referring to her only as a “mysterious woman.” However, the comment section was already buzzing with speculation about her identity. These netizens were relentless; it wouldn’t be long before they dug up everything about Penelope, leaving her with no privacy at all.Jethro was a top-tier celebrity, and with the current fan culture being so intense, his fans were extremely possessive. They wouldn’t tolerate any romantic involvement, real or imagined. If Penelope’s identity was exposed, it would

"Thank you, Doctor."I patted Doggo's head and stayed with him for a while before heading to work.Most of the people working in the Greenfield building were young professionals, buzzing about the rumored relationship between Jethro and Penelope."That girl must have saved the galaxy in her past life to be dating Jethro!""Rumor has it she's seven years older than him.""Seven years older? My heart is shattered."I followed behind them into the building, silently fuming.Penelope was actually the same age as Jethro!She must have the worst luck in the world to have become the target of his outburst.Online, people tend to blow things out of proportion.

Chapter 563

The women gossiping about Luke and me outside the Greenfield Building that day were employees of Luminance Advertising. Luminance had collaborated with Hanque multiple times, with Hanque being the client. For agency employees to gossip publicly about their client was a reckless move.Since that day, Patrick Lumos, the general manager of Luminance, had been making daily visits to JL Capital, trying to maintain good relations with Luke. After the incident, his employees were probably under a lot of pressure at work. However, Luminance had a strong reputation and consistently delivered creative advertising campaigns. During their collaboration, they had never dropped the ball, so Luke hadn't initially planned to pursue the matter further. But Mr. Lumos's eagerness provided him with an excellent opportunity to negotiate a better deal.Today, Luke had asked me to schedule a meeting with the head of Hays Advertising. When I got a call from the front desk, I went downstairs to greet our gue

"This situation teaches us that when faced with challenges, it's essential to stay composed. The more you panic and try to test others, the more likely you are to lose."Luke was always calm and composed, navigating the business world with ease and confidence. Being around him gave me a sense of security. But that sense of peace was shattered by a call from Mrs. Walker.It was almost as if she had timed it perfectly. I had just parted ways with Luke, returned to the office, and barely settled into my chair when my phone rang.Mrs. Walker was cunning, and I wasn't good at putting on a false front. Interacting with her made me uncomfortable.I took a deep breath, steeled myself, and reluctantly answered the call.The moment I picked up, her concerned voice came through. "Ms. Middleton, how is your wrist healing?""Thank you for asking, Mrs. Walker. It's much better now." The wound on my wrist was already scabbing over. Wendy's friend had brought back a few boxes of scar-removal cre

I was puzzled when Wendy, sitting in a corner, stood up and waved at me. "Jen, over here!"I glanced in the direction Mrs. Walker had left, then went to Wendy's table and sat opposite her, asking, "Did Mrs. Walker have an urgent matter?"Wendy tilted her chin toward something behind me. I looked and saw a waiter cleaning up on the floor.A plate of sizzling steak had been spilled, splattering hot oil everywhere. The fragrant aroma in the air instantly revived my appetite."Did Mrs. Walker get scalded by the steak?"No wonder Mrs. Walker had left with a sour expression.As the prestigious Mrs. Walker—elegant and dignified—having her designer outfit soiled in public must have been mortifying for her."This is for your trouble," Wendy said, raising an eyebrow at me before taking out her wallet and handing a stack of bills to the restaurant staff cleaning up.The employee's eyes flashed with surprise, but he quickly composed himself. "It was our mistake that caused you distress. We

"We're about to celebrate our happy event. When the time comes, I'll personally bring Janet to deliver the invitation to you."After saying this, Carter glanced at me once more before leaving."That asshole!” Wendy glared at Carter's retreating figure and spat out a curse. "That scumbag is capable of anything. Honey, stay far away from him in the future."I had heard plenty of dirt on the second son of Kingston Industries before.I had already noticed his malicious glance, so I nodded. "Has Janet agreed to get engaged to him?""I haven't seen her since she returned to the country," Wendy said, her fingers lightly stroking the glass in front of her. "It's not that I haven't had the chance to see her; I just don't want to. Before she left the country, I repeatedly warned her not to contact family or friends for a while. I told her to wait until Carter lost interest in her, or until her family found a way to resolve their difficulties, before taking any action. But now..."Wendy see

"The fish tastes really good," Wendy said, placing a piece on my plate. "Try some, honey.""Thank you, Wendy.""Stephen is really something," Wendy criticized. "A leopard can't change its spots. Those three men who bullied Joey got decent jobs and good pay after a few years in prison. They've tasted the sweet life. Given the chance, it could reignite the evil and greed in their hearts. The Kingston family has given them so many benefits; they might have something that makes the Kingstons wary. Targeting them is the right approach, but Stephen just hasn't used the right method.""Please enlighten me, Wendy.""Are you trying to help Stephen or Joey? Those two seem to have found true love through hardship. She's seriously ill and facing prison, yet Stephen stands by her. If you play matchmaker, they could have their happy ending soon."I was speechless."There are so many temptations nowadays. There are plenty of ways to bankrupt those three men. When they hit rock bottom..."Wendy

Just as we left the restaurant, I noticed a familiar-looking license plate and couldn't help but take a second look.Stephen got out of the car, and I paused. "Mr. York, are you here for dinner?""I'm looking for someone," Stephen replied, his gaze falling on Wendy beside me. "Miss Smith, can we talk?""Dear Mr. York, I don't believe we're that close," Wendy said, standing on the steps. The LED lights at the entrance cast a glow on her meticulously made-up face, making her look strikingly beautiful yet cold. Her lips moved slightly as she continued, "Your constant harassment is disrupting my life. If I take action, it could affect your reputation. As a lawyer, you understand the law better than I do. Don't do things that harm others without benefiting yourself."Harassment... Has Stephen been harassing Wendy recently?!Hearing this, the polite smile on my face instantly vanished. I stepped in front of Wendy. "Mr. York, please control yourself!""Pfft..." Wendy chuckled at my seri

Chapter 569

On my way home, I couldn't shake off the unease, so I pulled over and took out my phone to look up information about Stephen's law firm. Recently, they had won a few more cases, including one that was considered a lost cause, and their reputation was steadily growing.There was no negative news about the firm online.Stephen's so-called "harassment" of Wendy appeared unrelated to his career or any romantic interest. I racked my brain but couldn't figure out what value Wendy held that would compel him to go out of his way.Even after returning home, I remained troubled by the matter.I thought about calling Wendy but hesitated, not wanting to disturb her. She was tight-lipped, and if she didn't want to discuss something, it would be nearly impossible to extract any information from her.Feeling a headache coming on, I decided to distract myself by practicing my facial expressions in front of the mirror, hoping that one day I'd be able to control them effortlessly.After a long pra

Chapter 570

A few seconds later, Luke reversed his car and stopped right in front of me. He rolled down the window and glanced at the bouquet in my arms.Feeling his gaze, I quickly adjusted my expression, trying to hide the delight I felt. But when I looked up at him, I saw his eyebrows knit tightly together.“Do you like roses?” Luke asked.He sent these roses, right?My mother has always been a lover of flowers and plants, and growing up around her, I developed a fondness for roses. Although they weren’t my absolute favorite, I did like them. And because they were from him, I cherished them even more.His comment, however, left me confused.I looked at him, unsure of what to say.“You actually like such a cliché flower? That's bad taste.”I was speechless.From his words, it was clear that these flowers weren’t from him.“Get in the car. I need to ask you something work-related.”“I’m not ready for work just yet.” At that moment, my mood was anything but cheerful. Unlike before, when I would ea
