Patrick’s face grew solemn after hearing Renee’s words. He understood the unspoken meaning behind them: from now on, they wouldn’t even count as family—no ties, no obligations.“Renee, I’m sorry.”“Uncle, please take care of my mom,” Renee said with a smile, entrusting him with the task.Susanne wanted to scold her daughter, but the memory of the three of them huddled in the kitchen eating earlier in the day stopped her. She finally realized it was her own presence that had made life so difficult for Renee, forcing her to endure humiliation again and again.Susanne mustered a smile. “Take care of yourself.”“I will.” Renee slung her bag over her shoulder and walked out without looking back.Moments later, the butler entered the kitchen.“Mr. Patrick, Madam Susanne, Miss Sanders is leaving.”“Understood. We’ll come right away.” Patrick straightened his clothes and took Susanne’s hand as they walked out together.The butler quickly added, “Master requested Miss Lacey to join in

Ruby’s message pinged on Renee’s phone:"You don’t know either? Back in college, so many girls pursued him, but he ignored everyone. After the car accident, he suddenly changed, claiming he liked someone. I was still recovering in the hospital then and felt heartbroken when I heard that."That person must be you.Renee typed the response but deleted it immediately. It wasn’t her place to conclude such things. If Carl wanted to express his feelings, that should be his decision.Instead, she replied honestly:"You know how things were between my mom and my uncle. I didn’t move into the Grey family home until after Carl returned from college. I really don’t know.""I forgot about that—sorry.""No worries, I need to get back to work now.""Alright."Renee set her phone aside and stared blankly at her computer screen. Despite sitting there for ages, her design sketch wasn’t coming together.Her thoughts were interrupted when Mandy walked in. She gently tapped Renee on the shoulder,

At the very least, his future partner should be prettier than Renee, right? But, that would be a tough find.After exchanging phone numbers with Levi, Renee stood to leave.Levi, ever the gentleman, offered, “Shall I give you a ride?”Renee smiled politely. “You’re my client. It wouldn’t be appropriate. I’ll grab a cab. Take care.”Watching her walk away, Levi chuckled softly. She was intriguing.His phone buzzed.“Levi, how did the blind date go?” came his sister's teasing voice.“Which one?” Levi asked, his smile widening as he thought of Renee.“You’re smiling, aren’t you? Looks like it worked out.”“You’ll find out tomorrow.”“Promise me one thing,” his sister continued, her tone turning serious. “Don’t make things difficult for them. I don’t want to use my situation to guilt anyone.”Levi’s gaze turned cold momentarily, but he softened for his sister’s sake. “I understand.”The next morning, Renee woke early to get ready. She took extra care with her appearance, her ex

The air grew tense as Michael’s sharp words echoed through the room, dripping with disdain, clearly meant to humiliate Renee. He made no effort to consider the presence of the other guests, including the Sanders siblings. His tone carried venom, each word landing like a heavy blow on Renee.Under the weight of everyone’s stares, Renee felt herself growing smaller. Just as she was about to step back, a steady hand landed gently on her waist, guiding her forward.“Mr. Grey,” Levi Sanders said with an easy smile, “is there some misunderstanding about my date?”“Your date?” Michael’s expression darkened further, tinged with disbelief and scorn. His gaze at Renee was sharp, accusing, as though calling her a disgrace.Renee understood his look all too well. She glanced sideways at Carl, whose expression was as cold and impassive as ever. That fleeting moment of eye contact drained the strength from her body, leaving her feeling bitter and hollow. The pain seeped into her bones, cold and

Carl’s hand gripped her chin firmly as his lips crushed hers in a frenzy of aggression.He had seen through Levi’s intentions earlier—another man daring to stake a claim. That undeniable glint of possessiveness in Levi’s eyes had ignited a primal need in Carl to assert dominance.Renee wasn’t Carl’s match on any ordinary day, let alone when he was consumed by fury. The force he used to pin her against the railing made the metal vibrate with the intensity of his actions.But then, a voice broke through the tension, echoing down the hallway.“Carl? Are you there? This place is like a maze,” Ruby Sanders called out, her light tone oblivious to the scene she was nearing.The moment Carl heard her, he pulled away from Renee. She staggered, her pale face partially obscured by strands of disheveled hair. Fighting the nausea churning in her stomach, she clutched at Carl’s shirt with trembling hands. Despite her exhaustion, a hollow laugh escaped her lips.“What’s wrong? Scared now? Afrai
