Joseph countered, "Starting a business is challenging in the beginning. Just hold on a little longer. Once the company takes off, I'll…""Oh, let me guess. You'll give me a raise and promotion and lead me to the pinnacle of life? Yeah, I'm done buying into your empty promises!" Lauren waved him off. "Alright, I'm here. You can go now."Seeing her step into the elevator, Joseph didn't follow. He only turned around and walked away once the doors closed.Lauren's apartment was an old, rundown building. It was a resettlement unit with four houses sharing a single landing, and the space was tight.As she stepped out, she noticed a man pounding on the door across the hall. He was clearly drunk. She pulled her coat tighter around herself and suddenly regretted not letting Joseph walk her up. Who would've thought she would run into a drunk in the middle of the night?She was a knockout. What if she became a target?"Open up… Open the door!" The man's voice was low and slurred.Lauren su

After the Collinsworth brothers left, Lila returned. She carried a bag with mushroom soup, buns, and milk as she walked in. "Mr. Farrow, you should eat something.""It's okay. I'm not hungry." He had no appetite. His gaze lingered on her before asking, "Where were you last night?""I was at work, Mr. Farrow. You know that the club runs night shifts. I only get off in the morning," Lila explained.Upon hearing that, an unexplainable anger rose in his chest. "Are you still working at the club?""Yes," Lila replied softly."Didn't I tell the manager to give you the money? Now that your mom's surgery fees are covered, why are you still working there?" Justin asked."I…" Lila's eyes darted nervously."Do you really have to degrade yourself like this?" Justin frowned.Lila paused for a moment before saying, "That's my own private matter. Mr. Farrow, you have no business interfering with where I work."Justin let out a cold laugh. "You got the money, and now you're standing tall? Fin

As soon as Gary left, Sebastian handed over a file. "Mr. Quade, based on the investigation, the people behind the previous kidnapping case are connected to some powerful figures. The Stone family is among them.""Alright, got it." Wilson wasn't surprised. During the initial investigation, he had already noticed the Stone family wasn't as clean as they appeared. However, their relationship was amicable on the surface, so he turned a blind eye. Besides, the Stone family held considerable influence at the time. It was too much to take on.Things were different now. The kidnapping case in Nocturna had unraveled an even bigger web, and the deeper the authorities dug, the more tangled it became. It had already caught the attention of those at the top, and a directive had been issued. The case was to be thoroughly investigated.That meant he had been given the green light to pursue things. He wouldn't let this opportunity slip by.Wilson picked up his phone and dialed a number. The ot

Ronald leaned back in his chair. "Arthur, if you truly care about Lo, then show me your sincerity. If you agree to my terms, I promise to mend my relationship with her and give her the grand wedding she deserves. That way, both the Collinsworth and Quade families maintain their dignity, and Lo will be happy."However, Arthur didn't budge. "I can't agree to the shares, but I can offer you something else."Ronald's expression darkened. "Then let's hear it."Arthur took out a proposal and placed it in front of him. "This is an investment project in Lakent. The land there has natural hot springs, fresh air, and breathtaking scenery. It's perfect for developing a high-end tourist destination. Many were vying for it, but my family had the upper hand in securing the bid. "If we win, you'll benefit without taking any losses."Ronald narrowed his eyes slightly. "And you think just because you say so, I should believe you?""Within a month, you'll receive confirmation that the Quade famil
