Chapter 398

Author: Summer Knowles
After speaking, the doctor left some medication and departed.

Steven's expression had turned cold as he looked at Scarlett.

"Is this how you take care of yourself?" He was irritated that she'd been ignoring her symptoms all day.

"My cycle is usually irregular. I didn't expect it today, I thought it would be a few days later..." Scarlett said defensively.

"So you knew it might come around this time and didn't bring any pain medication with you?" Steven felt his frustration rising at her carelessness.

"I didn't..." Scarlett was pale, brows furrowed with cramps.

But he wouldn't let it go, making her increasingly annoyed. "It's not my fault!"

That comment just triggered Steven further. "You're not taking care of yourself, and you still think you're right!"

Seeing the pain she was trying to hide made his heart ache.

"I don't need your help!" Scarlett blurted out, then immediately regretted her words. She'd spoken out of irritation.

Seeing Steven's darkened expression, she instantl

    Charlotte gave a knowing smile. “Mom, Lucy’s never been involved in the company’s affairs. Do you really think she can handle it? We’re not talking about something minor here. If you just gave her dividends, that’d be one thing—but if those shares were handed over directly and she made a mistake, the losses could be huge.”Noticing the flicker of doubt in Mrs. Chancer’s eyes, she pressed on. “Even in the future, when your grandson takes over as CEO, you can be sure he won’t shortchange Lucy.”Her words were loaded. She knew exactly what mattered most to Mrs. Chancer—her grandson’s future.“I understand,” Mrs. Chancer replied calmly. “I have my own way of making her back off. Lucy was never cut out for this.”—The next morning, Lucy reported to the company.The Chancer Corporation towered above her like always—sleek and imposing. Before she was committed, she used to visit often. But now, stepping inside felt foreign.She gave her name at the front desk, and an HR staffer led he

    Hearing the commotion downstairs, Charlotte came down the stairs with the baby in her arms. Spotting Lucy, she gave a strained smile.“You’re back, Lucy. That’s great. Our family’s finally whole again.”But the moment Charlotte reached the bottom step, she instantly drew all of Mrs. Chancer’s attention.Mrs. Chancer hurried over. “Didn’t the baby just fall asleep? Why are you carrying him down?”Charlotte gently handed the baby over. “He doesn’t sleep deeply. Wakes up every thirty minutes. He’s already been fed, though—no need to worry.”The two of them stood there, fussing over the baby—completely ignoring Lucy.Lucy’s eyes turned cold. She wasn’t surprised.Without saying a word, she turned to head upstairs. But Charlotte suddenly called out to her.Putting on the act of a concerned sister-in-law, she said, “Lucy, I’m really glad you’re out of the hospital. But you probably can’t go back to school now. Sigh… I’ll talk to your brother when he’s back and see if there’s anything

    Leon went on and on, using fancy excuses to describe how obedient the woman was. He even said, quite generously, that he’d be happy to give her to James—like she was some kind of object.To him, that’s all she was. Just another thing to pass around.James’s vision began to blur under the weight of the alcohol. His mind foggy, he stared at Leon and the woman, barely able to make out what Leon was still saying.Then, something inside him snapped.Without thinking, he grabbed the bottle next to him and smashed it down hard.A sharp scream pierced the air.Leon collapsed to the floor, unmoving—like he’d passed out cold.The bar erupted into chaos. An ambulance arrived and whisked Leon away. James and the woman went with them.Thirty minutes later, the doctor confirmed there was no serious injury, but Leon was still unconscious. He was expected to remain that way for at least a day.James felt a rush of guilt. He shouldn’t have lost control—but that face had pushed him over the edg

    She acted timid and uneasy, like an immature child.Leon’s eyes flashed with impatience. He knocked back a shot of strong liquor.A knockoff was still a knockoff—always second-rate. If it weren’t for her face, he would’ve lost interest long ago.A few more drinks in, and the lines started to blur. She only showed half her face, but something about her still stirred Leon’s desire.Those deep brown eyes—like bottomless pits—were dark, mysterious, and hard to look away from.Under his gaze, her cheeks turned red. She wasn’t drunk yet, but her mind was already slipping.Leon had chased more women than he could count. He knew exactly how to play the game.With a knowing smile, he pulled her into his arms.---James had been coming to this bar almost every night after work, trying to drink away the emptiness.His doctor had warned him to cut back—his body was already showing signs—but the long nights without her were unbearable.Midway through another glass, his phone lit up with

    Zachary let out a low chuckle.“Classic move, Mr. Sanders—burning the bridge right after crossing it, huh?”Melvin’s expression turned grim. His voice grew heavier.“You think we pushed Vivian too far? She’s the kind who always goes all-in. That kind of recklessness... even you and I can't match it.”Vivian had always lived by one rule: Go down fighting than live with humiliation. That was just how she operated.Zachary raised an eyebrow.“You’re worried she’ll do something drastic?”Melvin narrowed his eyes, gazing into the distance.“She’s done it before. Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten how ruthless she can be.”The memory hit like a cold wave—sharp and jarring. Flashbacks tore through Zachary’s mind. Brutal. Unforgettable. His whole body tensed, and his voice dropped a register.“How could I forget? Those few days after it all went down... I barely made it out.”Zachary saw the shift in his expression and knew—he hadn’t forgotten. None of them had. It was a scar that h

    Still in the car, Vivian sat in silence, her mind racing with questions.What exactly was Grandpa doing?Her assistant’s phone buzzed. He glanced at the screen and his voice trembled slightly.“Miss Wilson… the company just sent out an email.”Vivian’s eyes sharpened. She leaned over and locked her gaze on his screen. The moment she saw it, her pupils constricted.“Why?”It was an official company-wide message—and she knew without a doubt that it came from her grandfather. Aside from herself, he was the only one with the authority to send something like that.It was a notice of personnel changes.Her title had been removed. Her position was now listed as vacant, and all her responsibilities were being handed over to the vice president.But why?She had just been thrown out of City Hall not long ago. How had Grandpa found out so quickly—and already made all the preparations?As soon as she got home, she rushed inside, desperate to find him. But Marianne stopped her at the stairs
