“I... I didn’t mean it like that.” A flicker of panic flashed in Justin’s eyes. “Then what do you want? A direct payout? Or do you want a stake in an international partnership?” Haley met his gaze head-on, making it clear that whatever he asked for, she would grant it. Justin shook his head. “I don’t want your money. If you want, I can give you RC Corporation. But not yet. There are still internal matters that need to be taken care of. Once everything is settled, it’s yours.”His voice dropped slightly. “And you know that’s not what I want. Do we really have to be this distant?”Haley’s eyes darkened. When she finally spoke, her words were cold and unyielding—almost cruel.“Even blood relatives keep their accounts clear. And we? We’re not even that.”She paused for a moment before continuing, “Right. You don’t need money, so it’s only natural that you refuse. I shouldn’t be surprised. But don’t worry, I’ll find another way to repay this favor.” With that, Haley adjusted he

“I was worried about you,” Justin replied.“There’s nothing to worry about.” Still unconvinced, Justin stepped forward to help her back to bed. Haley dodged his hand. “I can walk just fine, you know.” As soon as she said that, her stomach let out an untimely growl. She froze. Her face instantly flushed red. Seriously? Of all the times her stomach could act up, it had to be now—right in front of Justin. She had only drank a bowl of soup earlier that night, and after sleeping for hours, her stomach had completely given up on her. Sensing her embarrassment, Justin quickly spoke up to break the awkwardness. “I didn’t eat dinner earlier, and now I’m starving. Do you want anything? I’ll go get it.” She glanced at the clock. It was 2 a.m. “Nothing’s open at this hour. I’ll just eat some fruit.” Justin blocked her hand before she could reach for it. “If you want it, I’ll find it.” *Thirty minutes later, the coffee table was covered with food. Justin placed a

“Aren’t TVs supposed to turn on and just play? Why does it need an account? What kind of account?” Haley frowned, feeling completely lost. Just then, Justin walked over, took the remote from her hand, and started fiddling with the settings. “What do you want to watch?” Caught off guard by his sudden help, she felt a little awkward. Scratching her head, she mumbled, “A drama, I guess.” Then she named a detective thriller she had been wanting to watch but never had the time for. Once the show was cast to the screen, she settled back into bed to watch. Justin, instead of continuing his meal, handed the remaining food to the bodyguards outside and returned. He pulled up a chair and sat beside her bed, quietly watching alongside her. The night was still and silent, save for the voices of the actors on screen. The atmosphere was peaceful—more so than even a quiet evening at the movies. Justin stole a glance at her, but his thoughts were far from the show. His gaze

The moment Justin’s head cleared, regret came rushing in.When he went back to the bedroom, he saw her holding a photo of Emma. He was furious—not just at her, but at himself. He had betrayed Emma. *“Justin? Justin?” Haley’s voice snapped him out of his thoughts. “Huh? Oh… do you want to watch the next episode?” He blinked, quickly regaining focus. When he saw her staring at him without saying anything, he instinctively glanced around, checking if he had done something wrong. That was when he noticed his arm resting on her bed. He immediately withdrew it and apologized, “Sorry.” Haley pursed her lips, feeling a bit exasperated. She gestured toward the window. “The sun’s up. You should probably head out.” It was summer, and daylight came early. By four in the morning, the first light had already brightened the sky. Justin froze for a moment—time had passed too quickly. He hadn’t spent enough of it with her. Instead of leaving, he walked over and pulled op

“Zac, you got here just in time. Check on my sister—see how her recovery is going. Did the poison affect her eyesight? Can she use her phone?” With her back to Haley, Helen exaggerated her expressions at Zac, her brows wiggling meaningfully. Zac smirked, unable to help himself. Did she have any idea how adorable she looked right now? She was hitting him right in the heart. He stepped forward, ruffled Helen’s hair, and said warmly, “Alright.” Haley watched the two of them act all lovey-dovey like no one else was in the room. She shuddered internally. Really? They were feeding her this much PDA first thing in the morning? After thoroughly messing up Helen’s hair, Zac finally stepped aside and motioned for the head physician to check on Haley. Haley obediently followed the doctor’s instructions as they examined her. “You’re recovering—” The doctor had barely started speaking when Zac shot him a look. Their eyes met, and the doctor immediately caught on to his

Justin had saved her, and she was grateful—but that didn’t mean they could live under the same roof. The bodyguards dropped off the luggage and left before she even had a chance to object. Justin didn’t respond to her rejection directly. Instead, he calmly opened the thermal food container, taking out each dish and setting it on the coffee table. “You must be hungry. Mrs. Zimmer made these—they’re all your favorites.” That morning, he had called the villa, instructing them to pack her clothes and prepare food. As soon as his morning meetings wrapped up, he had rushed straight to the hospital. Given her condition, takeout wouldn’t be the best option. Home-cooked meals were better for her recovery. And if it was Mrs. Zimmer’s cooking, she would definitely want to eat. As the rich aroma of food filled the room, Haley swallowed involuntarily. Her stomach growled in protest, making her hunger even more unbearable. Justin set the table, placing the utensils in front of her.

Or could it be that he had neglected his workouts over the past five years, and his body wasn’t as fit as before? Was that why she found him unattractive?The thought stung for a moment, but he quickly shook it off and gave himself a mental pep talk. After all, his "wounded soldier" act had worked, hadn’t it? *After dinner, Justin cleaned up the table, neatly packing everything so the bodyguards could take it back later. It was his first time doing this kind of task, yet he moved efficiently, without a trace of frustration. Rather than feeling like he was lowering himself, he felt a sense of warmth, like home.Haley was recovering, and he was taking care of her. After wiping down the coffee table with a wet wipe and tossing it in the trash, he handed her a glass of water and her post-meal medication. Only after watching her take it did he return to his work at the table. Just then, his phone rang—a call from Sam overseas. Not wanting to disturb Haley, he stepped onto

“If you need any help, I can assist you.” Justin read the message Emma had sent him and responded with just two cold words: “No need.” He hadn’t included Emma in this project team—partly because of her lack of ability and partly because he wanted to avoid unnecessary interactions with her. Setting his phone down, he intended to refocus on his work. But after reading only a few lines, he picked up his phone again and called a secretary from his office. This time, instead of stepping out onto the balcony, he walked out of his room and headed toward the end of the hallway, turning the corner. “Has Emma’s transfer paperwork been completed?” “Yes, Mr. Yates, Miss Xander’s transfer is all set. But…” The secretary hesitated, aware of the rumors circulating in the company about Justin and Emma. He didn’t dare to continue. “But what?” Justin’s patience wore thin, his tone sharp. The male secretary gulped, struggling to find the right words. “Miss Xander… doesn’t seem wil

That night in the underground parking garage, as soon as Heidi overheard the call, Emma grabbed her and pulled her into the car.Heidi screamed and struggled, but afraid of attracting attention, Emma had no choice but to silence her with a wrench. She went down so easily. Emma hadn’t even hit her that hard, yet she collapsed right away.She even had to haul “her” into the trunk and wipe the blood clean. How infuriating. Even in “death,” Heidi was still such a hassle! On the way to dispose of the body, Emma came up with the perfect plan. She drove back home and carefully wiped the burner phone clean with alcohol. Then, putting on disposable gloves, she stripped Heidi’s clothes off and put them on herself. Fixing her hair, she returned to the hospital parking lot and drove off in Heidi’s car. Halfway to her destination, she stopped in an area without surveillance and “picked up” Heidi. Then, she drove all the way to an isolated riverside in the outskirts. She changed

“Alright, since you can handle it yourself, I won’t interfere. I still have patient rounds to do. I’ll take Helen with me and get back to work.” With one hand pushing the medication cart, Zac took Helen’s hand with the other, leading her out of the room. Helen yanked her hand free. “If you’re busy, go be busy. Why are you dragging me along? I need to stay with my sister!” Her voice trailed off as she was pulled out the door. “Zac, are you trying to create opportunities for those two?” Helen suddenly realized in the hallway. Seeing that she had caught on, Zac shook his head in denial. “Of course not. Your sister still hasn’t fully recovered, and you never stop talking all day. It affects her rest. One person keeping her company is enough.” “But that person shouldn’t be Justin! If I can’t take care of her, we can hire a nurse.” “That’s just a waste of money. Didn’t Justin wrong your sister? Let him play nurse and make up for it. He can’t just get off scot-free, can h
