Elena clenched her teeth so hard it seemed they might shatter. "Tell him to let me go!" Yara sighed and shook her head as if in pity. "Did you not hear me? I can’t tell him to let you go." "You!" "Now, tell me, will you do it again?" "I won’t…" "Louder. I can’t hear you." "I won’t do it again! Is that enough? Just tell him to let me go!" Yara smiled, her tone mocking. "See? If you’d been this obedient from the start, we wouldn’t have had to go through all this." She gave a subtle nod to the bodyguard. He immediately released Elena’s wrist and stepped back, resuming his position with precise discipline. Elena clutched her arm, her face contorted with pain and humiliation. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she threw herself into Robert’s arms. "Dad, Yara’s trying to drive us to our graves! She’s humiliating us on purpose!" Robert, powerless and flustered, could only offer hollow comfort. "Elena, you shouldn’t have pointed at your sister like that. It’s not polite.

Westley returned home that evening, barely stepping into the living room when Elena threw herself into his arms, sobbing uncontrollably."Westley, Yara’s gone insane! She’s trying to kick us out and take all of Dad’s money!"But Westley barely spared her a glance. He pushed her away, his tone impatient. "Whatever it is, we’ll talk later. I need to speak with your sister."Elena froze, tears clinging to her lashes as she stared at him in disbelief, unable to comprehend his coldness.Westley strode up the stairs, but Yara’s voice stopped him halfway."If you have something to say, just say it here," she called down coolly.Westley paused, looking up.Yara was lounging lazily against the second-floor railing, her hair still damp from a shower, watching the scene below with an amused detachment.Westley’s steps faltered. "Yara, all my company privileges have been revoked. What’s going on? Did something happen?"Yara’s expression didn’t change. "Nothing happened to the company. The issue is

Westley was completely stunned. "Yara, are you just throwing a tantrum? Why are you suddenly talking about divorce?" Yara couldn’t even be bothered to entertain him. "No particular reason. The sky rains when it wants to, and people get married when they choose. Now that the sun’s out, I’ve decided I want a divorce. Any problem with that?" Westley was left speechless. Yara wasn’t the kind of person who acted impulsively or threw out the word "divorce" in a fit of anger. So, hearing her say it now filled him with a deep, inexplicable panic. As Yara turned to leave, Westley quickly followed, stepping in front of her to block her way. "Yara, if there’s something about me you’re unhappy with, just tell me, and I’ll change. Isn’t that enough?" Before he could finish, Elena came rushing over, clinging to his arm. "Westley, why are you groveling to her when she’s already asking for a divorce?" Yara’s gaze landed on their intertwined hands. Westley immediately shook off Elen

The next morning, as Yara came downstairs, the first thing she saw was Westley stepping out of the kitchen. He was wearing a linen apron and carrying a tray of freshly prepared breakfast. Placing the dishes on the dining table, he looked up at her with a smile. "Yara, you’re awake. Breakfast is ready." Yara glanced at the table, noticing the spread. There was a mix of Eastern and Western dishes, all of them things she used to love. Westley smiled warmly. "Yara, do you remember back in school when I used to bring you breakfast every morning?" Of course, she remembered. Back then, Westley was dirt poor. His daily allowance was just ten dollars, and he would spend half of it buying her breakfast every day. For two years, he had done this without fail. It was his unwavering devotion that moved her enough to marry him right after graduation. But now, Yara only laughed bitterly. She wasn’t that naive girl anymore. She wouldn’t be touched by his gestures ever again. "W

Yara found herself unable to fully understand Herman. If he truly cherished that handkerchief, why had he taken it out that night? And now that it was gone, why insist on getting it back? Pressing her lips together, Yara finally said, "Losing your handkerchief is my fault. Let’s do this—tell me how I can make it up to you. As long as it’s within my power, I’ll do my best to meet your request." Herman glanced at his watch, then stood up. "Yara, I’ll remember your words. When I think of something, I’ll let you know." Yara personally escorted him to the elevator. While waiting, Herman abruptly asked, "What do you think of the Central Exchange Commercial Center project?" Yara blinked, startled by the question, but answered honestly, "A project like that is a rare opportunity, almost impossible to come by." The Central Exchange Commercial Center was a newly secured project under the Lloyd Group. Rumor had it they were in the process of selecting a partner for it. But Y

Before turning in for the night, Yara sat on the bed reviewing documents when a knock came at the door. Assuming it was the housekeeper, she called out, "Come in." To her surprise, it was Westley who entered, carrying a glass of milk. He placed the glass on the nightstand and sat down on the edge of the bed. Yara frowned. "What are you doing here?" Westley hesitated, his lips parting as if to speak. "Yara…" Without waiting for him to finish, Yara threw back the covers, got out of bed, and pointed to the door. "Get out." His jaw tightened as he struggled to respond. After a long pause, he said quietly, "Yara, this is my room too." Yara’s voice turned icy. "The entire house belongs to me. If you don’t leave right now, I’ll call the police." Westley rose reluctantly, his steps slow as he moved toward the door. Under the warm light, his shadow stretched long across the floor, and his tall frame seemed almost hunched. But even this sight stirred no emotion in Yara’s he

Yara stared at him silently for a few seconds. "Who sent you?" "I don’t know what you’re talking about." "I’m asking, who put you up to this? Someone told you to come here." "Stop making baseless accusations!" "If you’re not honest with me, how am I supposed to give you the money?" "You’re agreeing to pay?" "That depends on whether you cooperate." The man’s eyes darted nervously. "And what if I tell you, and you don’t pay me?" Yara’s expression was cold and disdainful. "Do you think you have a choice? If you don’t talk, then get out. I don’t have time to play games." Panicking, the man stepped in front of her. "I’m warning you—if you don’t pay, I’ll call in the reporters!" Yara cut straight to the point. "Who sent you to extort me?" Under pressure, the man spilled everything in one breath. None of it surprised her. After listening, Yara turned to leave. "What about the two million dollars?" the man shouted after her. Her steps didn’t falter. "Don’t worry

Yara turned her head, preparing to exchange a few polite words with Herman when an unfamiliar woman approached her with a warm smile. "Ms. Cullen, I’ve heard so much about you." The woman engaged Yara in conversation, her demeanor overly friendly, and eventually offered her a glass of wine. "Ms. Cullen, let me toast to you." With that, the woman tipped back her glass, downing the wine in one go. Yara hesitated but lifted her glass to her lips. As the aroma of the red wine reached her nose, she frowned slightly. It smelled subtly different from the wine she had been drinking earlier. Noticing her pause, the woman asked, "Is something wrong?" "Nothing," Yara replied calmly and took a small sip. Before she could lower the glass, Herman suddenly reached over and snatched it from her hand. Caught off guard, Yara blinked in surprise as she turned to him. Herman raised the glass and downed the wine in one smooth motion. Flipping the empty glass upside down, he gestur

Yara returned home an hour later, followed by a large group of men. The three people sitting on the living room sofa were stunned. Elena hid behind her father, peeking out with half her head visible. “Yara, what are you doing? Did you join a gang?” Yara didn’t even glance at her and directly instructed the butler, “Take them upstairs and throw out everything from their room.” Elena jumped up. "Yara, you can’t do this! You promised! There’s still one day left before the week is up!"Yara met her gaze coldly. “This is my house. My rules. I’ll change them whenever I feel like it.” The butler swiftly led the men upstairs. Elena cried and lunged forward to stop them, but no one paid her any attention. Yara sat down on the sofa, crossing her legs, casually fiddling with a ceramic teacup from the table. Suddenly, she hurled the teacup. Ceramic shards scattered, one cutting Robert’s leg. He let out a sharp scream of pain. “Yara, what’s wrong with you? Why are you throwing y

Westley immediately stood up. "Yara, your father never speaks the truth. Don’t listen to his nonsense!" Robert pointed a trembling finger at him. "Westley, you ungrateful snake! You’re the one who taught me to blackmail her!" Westley’s expression stayed icy. "And just because you say it’s me, that makes it true? Who’d believe a word from a blackmailing crook like you?"Robert clutched his chest, nearly choking on his fury. Yara watched the two bicker and let out a soft chuckle. "Westley, what’s got you so nervous?"Westley carefully replied, "Yara, you’re not seriously going to believe his lies, are you?" Yara smirked ambiguously. "You’re right, Robert is full of lies. He’s not worth trusting." Westley let out a quiet sigh of relief, but Yara’s tone suddenly shifted. "But I can’t figure it out. How did my dim-witted father suddenly get so clever overnight? Robert, who’s only ever been good at spending money—how did he suddenly learn how to extort it?" Robert’s face turned
