Serena's smile faded and her expression turned serious. "I need you to investigate something for me about the Kade Corporation's fashion designs department. It's an old brand that's been playing it safe for years, especially in the last two. It's fallen from grace and for a brand as big as the Kade’s, that shouldn't be happening. I suspect someone might be sabotaging them...""Is that why you joined their fashion design department? Did Damien send you to investigate this matter for him?"Serena shook her head. "Damien, that old fox. There's no way he'd let me handle something he wants to investigate himself! I think he brought me into the fashion design department to keep Katrina in check. If Katrina makes progress there, it could threaten Damien's position as the head of the family. By having me balance Katrina out, he can just sit back and reap the benefits..."Maureen chimed in, "He doesn't know your true identity, does he? Sending you in to balance Katrina without knowing who you

She didn't care about fashion trends; she valued her freedom more.Work for Damien? Could he even afford her salary? Payment in kind? Not a chance, even though she was intrigued by his status and found it somewhat appealing. But so what?Damien wasn't upset. He looked at Serena and said, "This morning, Marcus came to see me. He recommended someone for the company's fashion design department…”Damien paused, watching Serena's expression, teasing her curiosity with a sly smile. "I thought you might be interested, but since you're not, never mind."Serena suddenly recalled Katrina's confident expression earlier that day. It seemed Katrina hadn't given up on Marcus yet!But why did she dislike seeing them together? It wasn't jealousy or envy. She just simply didn't want them to be a couple.What should she do?Serena had heard that the Kade Corporation's fashion business had been in a state of profit and loss for years. Such a prestigious brand, yet it was constantly losing money. It was

"Mr. Kade, when did I ever say I wanted to work for the Kade Corporation? Can you even afford my salary?"Damien leaned forward, a playful glint in his eyes. "If I can't afford your salary, there are other ways to compensate."Serena chuckled, her fingers lightly tracing Damien's outrageously handsome face. "This face is quite something and the body isn't bad either. Are you suggesting some kind of... physical payment?"Instead of backing off, Damien leaned in closer. "Why don't you take another look? This face, this body, calling it 'not bad' is an understatement. There are countless women out there who would love to have me, but not everyone gets the chance."The implication was clear: she wasn't losing out; she was getting a great deal.Serena had to admit, Damien's shamelessness was impressive. But when she thought about it, he had a point. With looks and a physique like his, he was sure to turn heads wherever he went.Serena gently traced her fingers over Damien's smooth cheek.

I don't care, but you do, if a word of this gets to the old lady through someone with an agenda, it wouldn't be good, would it?"With his arms suddenly empty, Damein's eyes held a mysterious depth. "Thinking of me like that?""Of course, you're my husband now. If I don't care for you, who will?"The sly fox settled comfortably on the soft sofa across from him, leisurely picking up a magazine.The magazine was filled with the latest seasonal fashion trends and various gowns, all from the youngest famous designer, Aria.The Kade family business covered many areas, including jewelry design, fashion design and automobile manufacturing, among others.Watching the little fox engrossed in the magazine, Damien sighed deeply and called out to the person outside the door, "Come in."The person who entered was Brandon, the clothing manager. Initially, he didn't notice the person sitting in the corner of the sofa and walked directly to Damien with precision."Mr. Kade, here is this year's fashion

Hearing the commotion at the first-floor reception, he thought something was up. Instead, he saw the guards trying to force Serena out.Marcus laughed, "Oh! I wondered who it was.Turns out it's you, you witch."Serena hadn't expected to run into Marcus here, of all places.She retorted, "Marcus, you better watch your mouth. After all, I'm your Aunt-in-law! Disrespect me and I'll have your uncle deal with you!""Ha..." Marcua spat, pulling out his phone to show her a picture Katrina had sent him. "Oh, Aunt-in-law, huh? How pathetic! How does it feel to be dumped right after getting the marriage certificate?""Do you even know what kind of person my uncle is? You dare play games with him? You'll just end up alone, left on your own on your wedding day. How does that feel? Not great,right?"Serena frowned slightly but didn't truly get angry.She replied coolly, "Are you done talking?"Marcus shouted, "Not yet! Since you're all alone, why not be my lover? I'll spoil you! Make you happy ev

It was only when Serena reached the door that she realized she had forgotten to bring the keys to the villa.At that moment, she truly felt homeless.Before she could decide where to go, Katrina appeared. She approached Serena, dropping all pretenses. "Do you know why Damien married you? That untouchable heartbreaker, no one could ever tie him down. You don't actually think you're special, do you?"Serena pretended not to hear a thing.Katrina, furious, spat out, "Because you're a free ride, right? No one's going to pass up on that, being with you is no different than being with any other woman out there, sooner or later, that man will kick you out."Serena looked directly at Katrina's now unmasked face and smiled. "Even if I get dumped, that's my business. I'm just that kind of person, I guess. I like the feeling of being abandoned, if you don't like it, step aside...""Serena, don't get too cocky."Katrina was so angry she nearly ground herteeth to dust. She was both furious and hel

Three days later—The first thing Tatiana saw when she opened her eyes was a blanket of white. After a few moments of confusion, she blinked and slowly turned her head to look around, realizing she was in a hospital.Before she could take in her surroundings, she heard the sound of a door opening. Turning toward the noise, she saw Maxim walking in.When Maxim saw Tatiana awake and looking at him, he felt a rush of excitement. He quickly approached her and asked,"You’re finally awake! How do you feel? Is there anywhere that still hurts?"Tatiana slowly shook her head, wanting to speak, but her throat was dry and raspy. Instead, she looked at Maxim, hoping he would understand that she needed water.Fortunately, Maxim got the hint. He smiled at her and hurried over to pour a glass of warm water. After helping her drink, Tatiana felt a wave of relief wash over her. "I’m fine. How long was I out?""Three days," Maxim replied, his eyes filled with an emotion she couldn't quite place.Emo

With that thought, Riley quickly left those people behind.Tatiana, on the other hand, was unaware of Riley's situation. She stood facing the assassin in front of her, her expression icy."Miss, we hope you can leave this place. We don't want to harm you; we just need you to leave that man behind. We assure you, you can leave here safely."These people had been here for a long time, trying to persuade Tatiana to leave. Their boss had ordered that she couldn't be harmed, but they couldn't understand why this woman refused to budge. They had been standing there for what felt like ages.Realizing that convincing Tatiana was futile, the leader turned his attention to Mazim. "Maxim, are you still a man? Hiding behind a woman?”Maxim pressed his hand against his shoulder, his face pale from blood loss. He managed a weak smile and replied, "Better than being unprotected like you."Though he said that, deep down, he hoped Tatiana would leave soon. He didn't know how long they could mainta

Crushing the herbs and applying them to the wound, then bandaging it up was all she could do for now. After tending to his injury, he looked at Tatiana and said, "You need to get out of here quickly. They’re not after you, and they won’t chase you. Find a way back and get someone to rescue me."Tatiana replied, "By then, it won’t be about saving you; it’ll just be about collecting your body."Seeing Maxim’s pale face, Tatiana insisted, "I’m not leaving. It was my idea to come here, and I won’t just abandon you.""Why are you being so foolish?" Maxim's lips curled into a slight smile. In such a dire situation, all he wanted was for Tatiana to leave.She was the girl he liked, and he wanted her to be safe, away from this suffering. But why, upon realizing she wouldn’t leave, did he feel even more touched and reluctant to let her go?"I’m not foolish. I’m with you, and we’re married—even if it’s just pretend. We’re friends, right?" Tatiana said, helping Maxim to his feet as they slowly

The man didn’t even have time to react before he collapsed unconscious.The commotion drew attention, and all eyes turned toward Tatiana.“Run!” Tatiana shouted, grabbing Maxim’s hand and sprinting toward the nearby trees.Her shout jolted everyone awake, and the leader yelled for the others to pursue both of them.As Tatiana saw that they were about to disappear from sight, the leader at the front suddenly darkened his expression. He quickly pulled out something and fired a shot toward Maxim.Tatiana turned around just in time to witness this scene, and immediately grabbed Maxim, trying to switch places with him. But little did she know, Maxim had also spotted the bullet heading his way.The leader initially thought the bullet might miss Maxim since the woman beside him was ready to take the hit, but to his surprise, her didn’t let her take the bullet for him.“Bang—”The sound of the gunshot echoed, startling the birds perched in the trees, sending them flying off into the distance

Moreover, John had sent someone to wait for them so early. If they hadn't arrived earlier, and had waited until later to come, things would have been even more complicated.With these thoughts in mind, Maxim felt even more determined. Once they were out of here, he would make sure to pull John down from his position as soon as possible. Someone like him didn’t deserve to be in the company.He believed that his grandfather would never allow such a person to be part of the company either.The next morning, sunlight streamed through the leaves, casting bright rays that pierced Tatiana's eyes. She blinked a few times, slowly waking up.As she looked around, her mind began to piece together the events of the previous day. At that moment, Maxim also stirred awake as Tatiana shifted away from his shoulder.He had barely slept at all last night, finally drifting off only as morning approached.Tatiana stood up and checked her phone, only to find there was still no signal. She turned to Max

"The place ahead is Sylvia's home. Do you think they might not be looking for us and instead have gone to kill them?""No way, these assassins are all managed by someone. They only target their assignments and won't harm anyone else, so we need to protect ourselves first." Tatiana said this without a hint of hesitation, but then she realized that as a young lady, she probably shouldn't know about such things.Thinking this, Tatiana cautiously glanced at Maxim. His expression didn’t seem strange, so he likely hadn’t caught on to what she was implying. With that thought, she quietly sighed in relief; otherwise, she would have to find a way to explain everything, which would only complicate matters. She didn’t want Maxim to get dragged into this mess.With that in mind, Tatiana said, "Let’s stop talking about this and get out of here. We can’t stay for long, and we can’t be sure they won’t come back.”As she spoke, she tugged on Maxim's shirt and led him toward the exit. However, as she
