"It might not be your value that interests her," I said, leaving the implication hanging."Is her target Joey?" Stephen asked.I didn’t respond and continued walking. Stephen stood there for a long moment before finally leaving.When I entered Luke's yard, I called Wendy to let her know Stephen had come to see me.“Now we get to watch Joey's performance,” she said.“The real Jon has been dead for years. Aside from her, there’s no one left from that time. Even if she lies, we have no way to prove it.”“People give themselves away with small, involuntary gestures when they lie, no matter how composed they seem. I’ve read plenty of criminal psychology books and gained a lot of experience in my PR work. I can tell when someone’s lying!” Wendy sounded confident.“Wendy, you’re a genius!”“So, in your heart, I’m on the same level as Luke?”“You rank much higher than him in my book!”“Now that’s what I like to hear! I feel even more confident now. Wait for my good news!”After endi

"Why didn’t I think of that?"Every time I'm around Luke, it feels like my brain stops working! The sound of his steady footsteps makes me wish I could just disappear into a hole. After lingering on the steps for what felt like forever, I finally made my way to the gym.Luke acted as if nothing had happened, his expression calm and collected. His nonchalance put me more at ease, but I couldn’t shake the frustration I felt. Throughout the entire workout, I found myself unconsciously stealing glances at him. It was like I had a crush, like a teenage girl daydreaming about the boy she liked.No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t stop myself. I was beginning to realize I had a tendency to become hopelessly smitten.Luke seemed to be in a good mood today, correcting my mistakes gently as we trained. But every time he came close, my body would freeze up. Sometimes, I’d even mix up my movements—completely flustered."The more you practice, the more it will become second nature," he said

"Hey, what are you staring at, babe?"I had been lost in thought, gazing at Wendy as she approached me. She waved her hand in front of my face to snap me out of it."Just admiring my dear Wendy," I replied with a smile.Wendy glanced over at Luke's car, raising an eyebrow. "So, Luke is here too?"I nodded.Luke rolled down the window and greeted Wendy, "I'll leave Joey in your capable hands, Miss Smith.""Now that I've got your blessing, Luke, I feel much better about this," Wendy grinned. "I'm off to meet Joey.""Mr. Walker, you have two important meetings this morning," I reminded Luke. "I'll contact Harry to prepare the necessary materials. I'll keep you updated on the situation with Joey." I subtly suggested that he could go ahead to his meetings."Don't worry, Luke. I’ll take good care of Jen," Wendy promised, throwing her arm over my shoulder."Thank you, Miss Smith."I blinked, realizing they had both treated me like I was invisible during their entire exchange. I open

"Do you think I'm stupid?" Wendy sneered.Joey and Jon were siblings who had lived together for years. Joey would have recognized her brother in an instant; there was no way she couldn’t tell.Wendy let out a short, cold laugh and made as if to leave."I realized he wasn’t my brother too late. By the time I went looking for Jon, I saw him being pulled out of a ditch by the police. I was just a kid, scared out of my mind, so I ran away with the boy I had found. When I finally went back, my brother’s body had already been taken away by the authorities," Joey explained, curling up in a ball on the bed, large tears rolling down her face."You knew the police had taken the body, but you didn’t go to the station to identify him?""When I was at the orphanage, the caretakers would scare us by saying that if we misbehaved, the police would take us away. I... I thought the police were bad guys. I was too afraid to go to them.""And when you grew up and knew better, it never occurred to yo

Joey struggled to speak, the next words too painful to admit. She hesitated for a long time, unable to explain herself clearly.Wendy broke the silence with a cold statement: "In a moment of desperation, you told them your brother had a rare blood type. His blood was valuable—worth money."Joey didn’t deny it. After a long pause, she finally spoke again. "I had no other choice at the time... I never meant to hurt my brother. Over the years, I’ve had nightmares. In them, my brother always asks me why I left him behind.""You can give the police descriptions of the people involved and help them catch the killers sooner.""Do you think they’ll really find them?""They will!"Joey let out a bitter laugh, followed by a deep sigh. "I’ve carried this secret for so many years. Now that I’ve said it out loud, I feel like a weight has been lifted.""You exposed your brother’s rare blood type back then to save yourself, and now, to save yourself again, you’ve revealed the truth about his d

The rich, savory flavor of the lobster bisque was perfect, hitting all the right notes for my palate.“This chef’s skills are on par with Royal Chef,” I remarked. This place, along with the last hotel Luke and I visited, had just made it onto my list of must-try spots!“What’s the name of the restaurant?” I was eager to find out.“It hasn’t officially opened yet. I’ll let you know once they’ve set an opening date.”“Thank you, Mr. Walker.”Noticing that Luke’s bowl was empty, I poured him another serving of lobster bisque. The food was delicious, and I was so absorbed in eating that I didn’t notice Luke’s eyes lingering on me.After we finished lunch, I started to gather the dishes.Luke stopped me. “Someone will come to clean up.”I withdrew my hands. “Thank you for lunch, Mr. Walker. I’ll head back to work now.”Luke nodded lightly in response.As I left his office, I texted Wendy to tell her about a new restaurant in Johnsonville that rivals Royal Chef. I promised we’d go

"Even if you ask me again, my answer will be the same, I've never dated him.""The letters Carter produced are in your handwriting," Stephen said."Handwriting can be forged! If you don't believe me, you can leave the hospital right now. From now on, my business is none of your concern!" Joey replied with a defiant air, as if she had nothing to hide."You refused to transfer schools back then because of Carter.""How many times do I have to tell you that Carter and I had nothing to do with each other?" Joey's emotions flared. "Crystal is the head of Kingston Industries. Carter doesn't want to be overshadowed by her, so he's taking advantage of this situation to kick me while I'm down. I'm being used by him!""Carter has already contacted me. He has the original letters. A handwriting analysis would easily determine if you wrote them or not."Stephen's words silenced Joey for a few seconds."In the end, you still don't believe me."Wendy adjusted the camera to face herself. She

"Stephen, how can you treat me like this?" For years, Stephen had been Joey's rock. Whenever they disagreed, Joey would bring up the past, and Stephen would always cave. This time, however, his attitude was cold and unyielding.Joey scrambled off the hospital bed, grabbing Stephen's sleeve. "You can't just listen to Carter's side of the story! I was bullied in high school, had no friends, no one to confide in. To cope, I started writing to a pen pal. That's why Carter has those letters—he was my pen pal!""During our correspondence, he told me he was from Johnsonville and that his family had connections. He said they regularly sponsored top students from low-income families to study abroad. He promised to get me a spot.""He painted himself as this successful guy, and I fell for it. I agreed to date him, dreaming of a bright future. If I'd known he was Crystal's brother, I would never have gotten involved!""How did Crystal find out about you and Carter?""I... I'm not sure."J

Stephen had scheduled a meeting with a client today. On his way there, he saw the leaked information online and immediately asked Taylor to drive him to the hospital instead.Taylor was waiting downstairs when she received the call. She quickly summoned the on-duty nurse."Mr. York, I've already contacted the police to request the removal of Joey's electronic ankle monitor."Stephen said nothing, leaving with a scowl on his face.Wendy followed Stephen, saying, "You're using people when it's convenient and discarding them when it's not. Before, you were calling me three times a day to meet up. Now that you've fallen out with Joey, you're giving me the cold shoulder?""Our deal isn't canceled. I'll handle all your future cases personally.""That's reassuring, Mr. York."As Wendy spoke, she tried to enter the elevator with Stephen.Stephen blocked her path. "Do you need anything else, Miss Smith?""Not at the moment. I'll contact you if I do.""Please take another elevator."W
