A month had elapsed, and Drew's leg had significantly improved under the guidance of his therapist. He seldom ventured beyond the confines of their home, primarily dedicating his time to recovery, even though he occasionally attended business meetings. While Lily attended school, Orion took charge of her safety, and a new security guard now kept a watchful eye on Drew. Upon her return from school, Lily was startled to encounter an attractive woman exiting their residence. She furrowed her brow and scrutinized the woman, unable to shake the unsettling notion that the woman's intentions might not be entirely innocent. The woman's striking resemblance to the type of individuals Drew used to associate with stirred discomfort in her heart. "Hi! You must be Mrs. Walton," she said, offering a teasing smile. "Yes, I am. And you are..." Lily asked, her curiosity piqued. “Jenny Cordova. I am Drew's new secretary. I brought and took some documents for him." ‘Cordova?’ Could the woman

Even as a small child, after she received a beating from her father, she used to take an iced-water bath as an immediate remedy. She shut her eyes, trying to feel her numb body. The pain in her heart ached too much, causing her tears to begin to pour. She had consumed too much anguish to be able to sense how chilly the water was.
After the visit to the Walton Mansion, Lily stayed at home. While resting, she caught up on her schoolwork and the project she collaborated on with Danica. "Are you okay?" Danica inquired over the phone. She lay on the reclining chair beside the pool, watching the orange sky with a hint of blue turning nighttime.
Lily took her glance up to Kael Escarrer, Lauren's brother, who was currently behind her. "I don't trust Drew Walton because he understood how to deceive weak people like my sister, especially like you. I don't even understand why my sister still believes in your husband," the man muttered. She moved away from him. "We just met; I don't
The next day, Mr. Yu went back to Walton Group to meet with Drew once more. Jenny was continuously aware of Mr. Yu's sticky attention, and it had an impact on her.
