"You!" Earl slammed his cup onto the coffee table. To think that Lionel would speak to him like this, all for a woman!Lionel casually curled the corner of his lips, unfazed by his grandfather's rage. He continued coldly, "Let me make myself clear today. If anyone dares to stir up trouble again, don't blame me for turning my back on them!"Jacob, who had been silent up to now, glanced at his son with disdain, letting out a cold laugh. "Turning your back on someone? You've always had no regard for anyone!"Lionel's appearance was a clear reflection of his father.The two of them shared the same deep features. Jacob, in his fifties, though older, still had striking features — a sharp brow and a well-defined nose that gave him a distinguished look. In his younger days, he was considered quite a catch. Even now, despite his age, his status still made him the object of many women's affection.Lionel's lips pressed into a tight line, and his handso

Before Lionel ended the call, Chloe had clearly heard a woman's voice. However, Lionel told her it was nothing.Was he really trying to lie to her so blatantly?Furrowing her brow, Chloe didn't even bother to dry her hair as she lay back on the bed, holding the phone to her ear. Her thoughts ran uncontrollably, replaying the woman's voice she had heard during the call.Is it really a habit for men to lie so casually?One moment, he could speak to her with such tenderness, showering her with sweet words as if she were the only one he cared about. And in the next, he could lie to her without even blinking.Hah!How had she forgotten that a man's sweet talk was often the most unreliable? She had been hurt by it before, and yet here she was, once again swept away by his smooth words.Chloe, when will you ever learn?All you need to do is stay by his side. You know by now that his position isn't ordinary, and that there might be oth

In the past few days, Lionel had been away from home, leaving Chloe to shuttle between the house, the hospital, and the art center daily.Cynthia's emotions had stabilized somewhat, but she still refused to speak to Chloe. Even when Chloe brought her food, she wouldn't eat it. The situation left Chloe feeling deeply troubled.Despite this, Chloe kept visiting Cynthia every day, always wearing a cheerful smile in hopes of lifting her spirits.That afternoon, Chloe hurried to the hospital as usual. When she pushed open the door to Cynthia's hospital room, she was shocked to find the bed neatly made, the belongings gone, and Cynthia and her mother nowhere to be seen."Cynthia!" Chloe shouted, her voice trembling as a stinging ache spread through her chest. Tears welled up in her eyes.She blames me after all, Chloe thought bitterly. She's abandoned me. She doesn't want me anymore.Her heart clenched in pain as she rushed to the front desk to inquire about Cynthia's whereabouts. Only then

As Chloe nestled into Lionel's arms, she suddenly felt a chill run down her spine. She shivered instinctively and turned her head, but saw nothing."Lionel… I'm a little cold." She tried to calm the uneasy feeling stirring in her chest and pressed herself closer to him.Lionel tightened his arm around her, sharing his warmth.Suddenly, he seemed to remember something. He stopped, looking at her and said slowly, "Don't call me that again, call me Lion."Chloe's face flushed as she recalled the incident. Now that she thought about it, she felt like she had been possessed at that moment.Lionel, ever dominant, wouldn't let Chloe avoid him. He locked eyes with her, forcing her to respond.Although Chloe felt awkward, she nodded slightly. Lionel immediately smiled, his face softening as if coated with honey. "Good girl!"In the past, he had been cold, detached, and proud to the point of arrogance. He had looked down on her, dismissing her every move. Now, though, he was so gentle, showerin

"What?"Earl and Jacob shouted in unison, springing to their feet.They stared at Flora, their expressions a mix of shock and disbelief. Although their eyes betrayed their uncertainty, they were sure they hadn't misheard."I'm pregnant," Flora replied, feigning a timid tone as she lightly rested her hand on her still-flat stomach. Her quick glance took in the shifting emotions on Earl and Jacob's faces.They were stunned, but beneath the initial shock, she could clearly see fleeting traces of delight.With a touch of melancholy, she added, "I know that no matter what I say now, it won't matter. I'm not worthy of giving birth to Lionel's child. But all I'm asking is…"Thud!To everyone's surprise, Flora dropped to her knees at Earl's feet, sobbing. "Grandpa, I beg you—please spare my child! I may be worthless, but the child is innocent. I thought about hiding this and giving birth in secret, but I know with your influence, no matter where I run, you'd find out eventually…"Flora's grie
