Since I was already in the system as a former student and graduate of Hilton University, getting an audit pass just meant pulling up my old records. As the teacher processed it, they suddenly said, "Youโre really eager to learn, arenโt you? Want to sign up for another one?"I asked, "Another what?"They thought for a second. "Are you interested in architecture?"I blinked. "Whatโs special about architecture?"The teacher leaned in, clearly trying to sound mysterious. "Word is, a world-renowned architect will be joining us soon as a visiting professor. Once the news is out, everyoneโs going to want a spot in that class. But right now, hardly anyone knows."They smiled. "You seem like the studious type. Want me to sign you up?"I thought it over. "Alright. Not too many classes, right?"The teacher shook their head. "Not at all. About four sessions a month, roughly once a week."That sounded manageable, so I nodded.Then they added, "And if you attend the visiting professorโs lectures,

After getting the audit pass, there wasn't much else to worry about.Just then, Sharon called.Her voice was gentle over the phone. "Eve, are you feeling better?""I'm much better now," I replied.She chuckled. "You must be bored stiff in the hospital. Come hang out at my place. Iโll introduce you to some freelance work. I canโt let you stay idlefor too long."And that was that.Dolly and I drove over to her gallery.Sharon, as always, looked stylish and refined. She wore shimmering tassel earrings that gave her a graceful, alluring charm.I couldnโt help comparing her to Chloe.Chloe had that delicate, sweet lookโsoft and refined in her own way.But Sharon gave off the vibe of a confident, independent woman. Smart, capable, and still every bit feminine. Both were undeniably attractive in their own rightโthe kind of women whoโd leave a lasting impression. But Sharon had the more dignified air, and her smile was confident and warm.That made me start questioning my brotherโs taste.

Sharon paused in surprise. "You two know each other?"The handsome man walked over, grinning as he looked straight at me. "How could we not? Weโre practically family. Itโd be awkward if we donโt know each other."Sharon laughed. "You..."It was obvious she had no idea who he really was.I said, "Heโs Mr. Wynnโs younger brother."Now it was Sharonโs turn to be stunned. "What? Peter, you're Mr. Wynnโs brother?"Trey raised a brow, amusement flickering in his eyes as he touched his striking, mixed-featured face. "What? Donโt I look the part?"Realization dawned on her. "No wonder! I kept thinking how much you looked like Miles. I just figured good-looking guys all shared the same template."She gave him a playful smack on the arm. "This is your fault! You introduced yourself as Peter and didnโt say a word about who you really were. โYou just let me make a fool of myself in front of Eve!"Trey chuckled. "Well, now you know, donโt you?"He said it lazily, like he hadnโt fully woken up yet
After Losing My Memory, I Divorced the Regretful CEOย ย ย Chapter 175
Trey gave a half-smile. "Oh, maybe I am a little."He ran a hand along his sharp jawline, eyes fixed on me. "But what can I do if I just canโt help myself?"He suddenly leaned in, and I sucked in a breath as he backed me up against the wall.His striking face loomed close, and that damned cologne hit me straight in the nose.I held my breath, as if even breathing might encourage this man who was clearly committed to being a menace.Trey stared at me for a long moment, then suddenly broke into a lazy smile."Youโre really something, you know that? The more I talk to you, the more intrigued I get."I shot him a glare. "If youโre here to buy a painting, then pick one yourself. I donโt know anything about art. Iโm heading upstairs."I turned to leave the studio.It was just the two of us in thereโalone, behind closed doors. This was not exactly the safest setup."Hold on!" Trey called out.I looked back. He picked up a painting and was examining it closely."Since you're working part-tim

What I didnโt know was that Trey and Sharon exchanged a glance, both of them smiling meaningfully."Evelyn, since youโve sold some paintings and you made a fortune, how about treating me to a meal?" Trey grinned at me.I nodded right away. "Sure, my treat!"Trey probably hadnโt expected me to agree so quickly. He froze for a second.Then he laughed. "Alright, letโs go for the most expensive fine dining restaurant."As soon as I heard the word "most expensive," I quickly asked, "How expensive are we talking?"Sharon couldnโt hold it in anymore and gave me a light smack. "Silly girl, expensive or not, you still have to treat him! Treyโs basically a walking goldmine!"Realization hit me. "Okay, Iโll treat. No matter how expensive it is!"Trey looked a little thrown off by how serious I was.He let out an awkward laugh. "Alright, letโs go."I happily followed after him.Today, Trey drove a Ferrari, different color from the one before.I placed the paintings in the trunk and they fit perfe

I cautiously broke the silence. โWe're going for fine dining... at...โ I gave him the name of the place.Milesโ voice came through, cold as ever. โFine dining? Is that place really that good?โI was speechless.One second later, his voice dropped to freezing. โIโll see you there in twenty minutes. Trey, youโd better behave.โThen he hung up.A strange silence settled in the car.Trey kept driving, his expression unreadableโsomewhere between amused and indifferent. I couldnโt tell if he was annoyed or entertained.I ventured carefully, โMaybe your brotherโs just in a bad mood today.โTrey turned the wheel with a light laugh. โHim? Itโd be a miracle if he even has moods.โโWhy?โHe whistled. โHe barely has emotions to begin with. I always say heโs basically a money-making robot.โA robot? I was speechless. These two brothers clearly didnโt have the warmest impression of each other....Before long, we arrived at the restaurant.Just as we parked, an attendant was already waiting b

After a few more remarks, Miles realized Trey wasnโt taking anything he said seriously, so he gave up scolding him altogether.Instead, he turned to me. โHow much did Trey spend on paintings today?โI hesitated for a moment before giving him the number.Miles shot Trey a cold look.Trey raised an eyebrow, half amused. โWhatโs with that look, bro? A little over two hundred grand isnโt that much, is it? Evelyn made forty-eight grand off me. I was just showing her some support!โMiles corrected him sharply, โDonโt call her Evelyn so casually.โTrey laughed. โThen what should I call her? Eve?โMilesโ tone was serious. โSheโs your future sister-in-law. You can either call her Miss White or address her with more respect.โI wanted nothing more than for the ground to open up and swallow me whole.Trey chuckled. โThatโs really bold of you, bro. I never thought someone like you, who usually acts like women donโt exist, would fall so hard. Itโs like watching a cold furnace suddenly roar to life.

I was completely frozen. My brain had short-circuited. The more I tried to explain, the worse it got.Trey, ever so helpful, chimed in dryly, โWhat she means is, she doesnโt need your money. Bro, youโre dating her, and she still doesnโt think youโre essential.โโShut up!โ I snapped, completely losing it. โSay one more word and Iโm never selling you another painting!โThe moment the words left my mouth, I realized how empty that threat sounded. Yeah, that wasnโt exactly intimidating.Thankfully, Trey finally decided to quit messing with me.He grinned. โAlright, bro, Iโm out. Iโll leave you two lovebirds to talk it out.โAnd with a tilt of his head, he slipped out of the room.Now the spacious private room felt too quietโwith just me and Miles left.He looked at me with that deep, unreadable gaze. โNow that heโs gone, you can speak freely.โI let out a helpless laugh. โYou totally got played by that jerk Trey. Heโs full of it. He was just being a troll.โMiles looked half amused. โ

I let out a breath of relief. "Good. I guess Iโll stop taking baths from now on. Who knew something so relaxing could nearly kill me?"I tried to lighten the mood with a joke, but neither Miles nor Joseph smiled.Forcing a small grin, I added, "Justโฆ donโt tell my brother, okay?"Miles gave a warm smile. "I wonโt."Joseph glanced at him, then said, "Iโve checked everythingโsheโs fine. Just be careful not to catch a cold."Miles walked him out.When he returned to the room, I was already sitting up against the headboard, my expression uneasy.The mattress dipped slightly beside me as Miles sat down. He looked at me gently. "Eve, whatโs wrong?"My voice was low. "Miles... I had a dream about Julian."Miles let out a quiet breath. "Thatโs normal. I was worried it might be something worse."I shook my head, a flicker of panic rising in my eyes. "But Iโve never dreamed about him since the memory loss. And this timeโฆ I saw the first time I met him."My hands trembled slightly. "I shouldnโt r

Warm water swirled gently around me, and the weight of exhaustion began to pull me under.Sleep crept in, soft and heavy....โEve, come on! I heard the campus heartthrobโs here today!โI looked up, my vision blurry.Where was I?Dollyโs face appeared in front of me, lit with excitement. โHurry! If weโre late, we wonโt get a good view. The clubโs short on people, so they brought in the heartthrob to help out. Come on, everyoneโs rushing over.โI reached out and grabbed her arm. โNo, Iโm not going.โShe gave me a puzzled look. โWhy not? Thatโs Julian Moore! Heโs literally the most popular guy on campus. Heโs good looking and comes from a wealthy family.โSomething caught in my throat. I wanted to speak but couldnโt get the words out.Dolly, getting impatient, tugged at my hand and started dragging me forward.There were people everywhere, too many to count.Eventually, we arrived at the small rehearsal theater.I looked around in confusion. There were crowds all around, but no one I re

But what did she say?Julianโs grip tightened around the charm, his fingers curling into it as pain filled his eyes...."Julian, I know thereโs nothing I can do for youโฆ Just keep this charm. They say the priest there is the real deal. Youโre not supposed to throw it away once itโs been blessed.""Julian, I donโt care if you ever become rich or powerful. I just want you to be safe."That foolish woman had clutched the charm in her hands, smiling at him with such innocence and blind faith....The knot dug into his palm, sharp enough to hurt. Julian opened his hand, then closed it tightly around it again.Chloe, who had been rambling on, finally noticed something was off.She caught sight of the charm in his hand and scoffed. "What is that? It looks so tacky."She reached over, trying to take a closer look.Julian quickly slipped it into the inside pocket of his suit jacket.Chloeโs eyes narrowed. "Did she give you that?"He started the car, his voice flat. "No. I got it myself. Some p

Julian looked at me, confused.I took a deep breath. "Julian, stop. I know why you're apologizing. You're doing this for Chloeโs child, right? You just donโt want things to get ugly."He lowered his head, then gave a small nod. "Yes, thatโs part of it... but I reallyโฆ"I cut him off quickly. "Donโt. Goodbye, Mr. Moore."Without looking back, I turned and got into the car.Miles noticed something was off the moment he saw my face. "What did he say?"I steadied myself. "He wants to settle everything privately. He doesnโt want it to go to court."Miles glanced toward Julianโs lonely figure in the distance, his eyes flickering."You okay?" he asked.I shook my head. "Iโm fine."He paused, then handed me a tissue. "If it hurts, just cry."I looked at him, my eyes dry. "I canโt cry. But why do I still feel so awful?"His gaze softened. "Julian's pulling all this to protect his pride because of Chloeโs child, isnโt he?"I drew in a shaky breath. "Yeah. He apologized, but in the end, itโs still

Julian's expression darkened as he stared at me. "Evelyn, I thought you said you loved me? And yet here you are with Miles alreadyโwhat, were you two sneaking around while we were together?"Without thinking, I slapped him.He grabbed my wrist, sneering coldly. "Did I strike a nerve?"I laughed in anger. "I shouldnโt have let Miles in the car earlier. If I hadnโt, the one slapping you right now wouldโve been him."Julian let go of my hand and said coolly, "Enough nonsense. Evelyn, dragging this to court would just be a spectacle. After five years of marriage, I donโt want things to end like this."Was he trying to reconcile?I forced down my fury and asked, "What do you have in mind?"Julian hesitated, his gaze complicated. "Iโll return everything that belongs to you... just give me some time."I was stunned.I hadnโt expected Julian, who always seemed so tough, to willingly give up fighting and hand over what I deserved.I went quiet. "Alright. How much time do you need?"Julian tugged

Julian blurted out, โWhat?!โThen, snapping out of his shock, his face twisted with fury. โMiles Wynn, what the hell do you mean by that?!โMiles smiled, calm and unbothered. โNothing more than the truth.โJulianโs voice rose, livid. โTruth? This is nothing but one of your dirty tricks!โMiles raised a brow, pretending to be confused. โDirty? Hmm. Iโd actually call it a fresh idea.โJulianโs already dark expression grew stormier.Chloe stood beside him, jaw clenched, eyes locked on us with thinly veiled rage. Suddenly, she cut in sharply, โBut wasnโt it Miss White who transferred the 1.2 million to Elmwood?โDolly stepped forward without missing a beat. โThat money was loaned to Eve by me. Got a problem with that?โThat shut them both up.I felt a wave of satisfaction rise in my chest. But I also knew Julian wasnโt going to let this slide so easily.Sure enough, he turned to me, eyes cold. โEve, this is going to court anyway. You can spin the story however you want. Weโll see what the

The moment I saw that elegant, refined face, so striking it felt almost divine, every bit of the frustration Iโd buried surged to the surface.Without a second thought, I rushed into his arms. โMiles!โWarmth enveloped me, and the familiar clean scent of pine wrapped around my senses. My eyes stung instantly.Miles lowered his head, chuckling softly. โWhatโs wrong? You look like a little bunny with those red eyes.โFeeling embarrassed, I gave his chest a light smack. โWhy are you here?โHe studied my face carefully, then gently brushed his fingers across my cheek. โI heard someone was picking on my darling, so I came running.โThat warmth spread through my chest, overflowing, making it hard to hold back tears.He leaned down, his voice low in my ear. โDonโt cry, silly girl.โThen he straightened and looked around the room.His gaze passed over Sarah and Dolly, finally landing on Julian.Julian instinctively straightened his back.He stepped forward, voice laced with sarcasm. โWhat brin

I turned to Sarah with an apologetic expression. โIโm sorry, Miss Care. It seems Iโm not in a position to work with your company until I sort out my personal matters.โSarah shook her head regretfully. โPlease donโt apologize. Our company is moving forward with expansion this year. Weโve already allocated the available investment slots. If you decide not to investโฆ weโll have to open the opportunity to others.โShe gave me a sympathetic look. โIโm sorry, Miss White. But once this window closes, there will be no further opportunity.โI offered a bitter smile and nodded. โI understand.โDolly was so angry, she could barely hold back a choked sob. โThat shameless bastardโฆ absolutely shameless!โI squeezed her hand, silently telling her it was time to go.Julian stepped in front of us, blocking the way. His expression was conflicted, and when he spoke, his voice was softer than Iโd ever heard it.โEve, maybe we can talk this through.โโJulian, youโฆ youโre still not done?โ Chloeโs voice r

The moment I heard those words, a rush of blood surged to my head.My ears rang, and that all-too-familiar wave of dizziness came crashing back.I barely registered Dolly's voice rising in fury. โJulian Moore, do you have no shame? You really dare say that was marital property?! Eve paid for it herself! Youโฆ you're absolutely disgusting!โI could barely stay on my feet, the world tilting around me.โDollyโฆ Iโฆโ I whispered weakly.She quickly caught me and helped me sit down.I took a few deep breaths to steady myself, then looked up at Julian. And for a split second, though maybe it was the dizziness playing tricks on me, I thought I saw a flicker of concern flash through his eyes.Sarah noticed something was off and immediately stepped in. โMiss White, donโt worry. We can take this slowly.โI fought to calm my pounding heart and spoke, voice steady but cold. โWhat exactly is it that you want, Mr. Moore?โJulian hesitated for a moment, but soon the polished businessman returned to his
