Chapter: Old FlameEsther was waiting in the CEO’s meeting room, not having met Levi yet. The receptionist told her to wait a moment—after all, Evander’s chief personal assistant was no ordinary person, and being able to see him already was a privilege, especially after that public slapdown of Chloe.No sooner had the receptionist left than Esther’s phone rang. She was flipping through a magazine but answered casually. On the other end was Maris’s familiar voice: “Esther, since you’re no longer part of the Davenier family, you should file to have your last name changed.”Change my last name?Esther nearly couldn’t believe her ears. She stayed silent for a moment to calm down. “Change it to what?”“As long as it’s not Davenier, you can pick any name you want…”“I’m keeping Davenier!”This time, Esther didn’t even let Maris finish. “Besides Davenier, I won’t take any other name!”“But you’re not part of the Davenier family anymore. What’s the point of kee

Chapter: ExposedChloe was so furious. Just as she was about to chase after her, Kendall, who had been hiding nearby, grabbed her arm.“They’ve already taken her away. If you keep chasing her, you’ll just look like a shrew. You need to keep a good image with Evander!”“But I haven’t even seen him yet. How am I supposed to keep a good image?”Chloe was already furious at Esther, holding back her anger, and now spotting Kendall, she snapped, “Where have you been? Didn’t you see how Esther was bullying me?”“I had a stomachache and went to the restroom!”Kendall’s sharp eyes had caught sight of Esther slipping away quietly. Although she had broken off friendship with Esther, she didn’t want to make a direct enemy of her just yet—keeping a way out for the future. But since she had just betrayed Esther, she wanted to show some loyalty to Chloe for now.“This is Westvale Group. There are cameras everywhere. Even if you haven’t met Evander, he can see you through t

Chapter: Next PlanAfter hanging up, Esther glanced at her phone and saw it flooded with notifications. Overnight, she’d somehow become an internet sensation.The moment news broke that the Davenier family had cut ties with her, old scars and rumors resurfaced like wildfire. An old video of her had gone viral—Rowan, the Davenier family’s golden boy, had caused a drunken scene at a bar. Esther had rushed over to handle it, only to get caught in a scuffle with some local thugs. The dim bar lighting blurred her face, but her sharp reflexes and clean moves were unmistakable. Paired with the current family scandal, the site’s traffic nearly crashed.The comments were vicious:“Genetics are a curse. No matter how you raise someone, trash is still trash. Just look at her face—all those scars!”“Chloe didn’t even grow up with parents and she still turned out elegant. Meanwhile Esther fights like she belongs in a gang.”“Adopt at your own risk. You spend a fortune and end up raising a criminal.”“Honestly? Alan

Chapter: FreedomMaris and Chloe were both surprised: Esther didn’t cry or make a fuss. She bypassed the rooms, changed into a black trench coat, and picked up her laptop.“I bought this laptop with my own money—so I’m taking it. And don’t act like you were so generous raising me. You know exactly how much I sacrificed for the Davenier family. Ask your husband and son if you’ve forgotten.”“As for calling my face ugly... you know the truth better than anyone.”She paused, voice steady.“You’ve cut ties with me in public, so let’s keep it clean. From now on, whatever happens in the Davenier family has nothing to do with me. Don’t come looking for me again.”Passing the living room, she grabbed a bottle of purified water from the fridge and left twenty bucks on top of the closed fridge door.She glanced at the mother and daughter chasing after her, “Don’t worry, I didn’t drink for free. I paid!”With that, she vanished into the night like the wind.Maris and Chloe exchanged a look. Chloe let out a cold

Chapter: Move Out“Sorry, Mr. Westvale.” Levi, the usually flawless assistant who always said ‘yes,’ was saying sorry for the first time.“The director of Hospital A is Adrian Lewis, but the largest shareholder is actually that doctor who performed the surgery. Without her approval, Adrian’s signature means nothing.”“Then make her approve it.”Under the moonlight, the man’s tall figure grew even colder. Patience was never his virtue.“Sorry, Mr. Westvale. I haven’t found her yet.”One second.Two seconds…Levi felt the temperature drop several degrees as Evander, who was about to head inside, suddenly turned his head toward him, tugging his necktie.“Levi, do you think the African branch is a nice place to be?”“Boss, mercy!”Hearing that, sweat broke out on Levi’s forehead.“I still want to follow you, Mr. Westvale. I’ll find that female doctor, buy the hospital to care for the Old Madam, and make amends!”After saying this, Levi cautiously followed behind him, sneaking glances at his expression.“An

Chapter: Particular TasteChloe looked confident—way too confident. She knew Levi wouldn’t dare accuse Evander of being ungrateful in public. After all, the Westvale family was in the middle of acquiring two international companies. Even a tiny scandal could mess up the deals and tank their stock. That’s why she was so bold about pushing her luck.“I suggest you call Mr. Westvale before you speak again, Assistant Levi,” she said smugly.Levi glanced at her—cool, calm, not impressed. He pulled out his phone and dialed without a word.“Mr. Westvale,” he said, “your fiancée might need to be replaced.”Chloe froze.Did he just say that... out loud?This guy had guts.Before Chloe could even react, Levi ended the call and gave her a small, polite bow.“Mr. Westvale says: fiancées chosen by family don’t just get swapped out by anyone.”Chloe lit up like she’d just won a prize. “See? That’s what I’ve been saying. The Westvale family knows loyalty—they’re not ungrateful.”But she didn’t see the next line coming.Levi
