The tears that had been swirling in his eyes finally spilled down the little boy's face—one drop, two drops, three drops...

It seemed the little one understood that this time, his father was truly different. He would rather have his father yell at him, get angry at him, than be met with this silence.

The more silent his father was, the less room there was for turning back.

Adrian Grayson watched Xavier Grayson moving about the kitchen, and his mind drifted to the memory of when Chloe Bishop was

    Some of the locals even chased after the car, their behavior reminiscent of the desperate, ruthless poor in South Africa—fierce and reckless, willing to do anything to get what they wanted.The car soon pulled up in front of a dilapidated house. Just then, a man inside came out carrying a basin of water to dump out. The water splashed right in front of Xavier Grayson's feet, soaking the cuffs of his trousers.The bodyguard beside him immediately rushed forward. "Are you out of your mind?!"But Xavier Grayson held him back. Sometimes, poor people trapped in dead-end lives who gave off that kind of vicious, fearless look were far more dangerous to deal with than rational, ordinary people.Until he knew exactly who he was dealing with and what they were capable of, Xavier Grayson didn't want to make a move. Right now, he only had five bodyguards in the car, plus Tim and Caesor.And he could see the locals beginning to cluster together, looking ready to throw down at the slightest provoca

    Gwen Grayson felt a warmth in her heart at Adam's gesture and immediately reached out to gently grasp her hand. "Nora shielded me from it."Nora was shuffling cards when the topic landed on her. She let out a resigned hum. "Indeed. You were running too slowly, and since I'm your sister, I didn't want to see you get shot dead."Gwen Grayson stuck out her tongue.Chloe Bishop let out a soft laugh. "Alright then. Are you hungry? Want to step out for a bite?"Gwen Grayson nodded eagerly, her large eyes sparkling. "Yes!"Chloe Bishop rose and headed to the restroom to change.Xavier Grayson was flipping through some documents. He glanced at the watch on his wrist, his fingers tapping lightly against the tabletop. Across from him, Tim and Caesor were busy with their laptops.Tim cracked a line of code to check on Brookfield's situation, then turned around. "I found some inside info about Mike Group."Caesor gave a low grunt. "Like what?""The CEO of Mike Group apparently has an illegitimate

    Chloe Bishop, of course, had no idea what they were plotting. She turned back into her room, took her clothes out of the suitcase, and hung them in the closet, carefully pressing out the wrinkles as she waited for the wedding to begin.Just then, her phone rang.She glanced at the caller ID—it was Adam.Adam's voice came through sweet and bright. "Chloe, where are you? Have you made it to Europe?""I'm here—at the hotel."Adam's excitement bubbled over. "That's great! I just got off the plane. Should I bring the dress over to you?"Hearing that her dress had arrived, Chloe Bishop felt a flutter of anticipation. "Sure. Come find me at the Hotel. Give me a call when you get here—Nora, Gwen, and I will come down to meet you."Adam laughed. "Okay."It didn't take long for Adam to arrive—the flight was only a few hours. She paced around the lobby until she heard the elevator chime.Gwen Grayson poked her head out, scanned the lobby, spotted her, and waved. "Adam!"Adam spotted Gwen Grayson

    Zayed replied, "Understood."With that, Chloe Bishop put the call on speakerphone.Why bother explaining herself when she had the evidence right here?A steady voice came through the speaker."That day, Dane and I were originally going to head over, but then we heard you were heading to Brookfield, so we were delayed—Mr. Grayson assigned us to protect you instead. Later, you were the one who sent me away, right?"Chloe Bishop knew all this, so she didn't elaborate. "Mm. What happened after?""After I got there, I met your uncle and went with him to the police station and the accident scene. I also had someone check the surveillance footage, but since it was a mountain road with no cameras, I went to a forensic expert instead..."Zayed recounted everything thoroughly and clearly, leaving the whole family stunned.Shawn and Zara exchanged glances, both seeing the anger in each other's eyes.Zara in particular shot Nia a look full of resentment.Finally, Chloe Bishop fixed her gaze on th

    Shawn said, "Lotus Cave."The faces of the three young women immediately fell.Gwen Grayson's lips twitched. She'd never liked caves of any kind since she was little. Now she was stuck—going felt wrong, not going felt wrong too. She could've cried.Zara hitched her backpack higher and shot Shawn a reproachful glare. "You, always setting traps for the girls."The three checked into the hotel, handed over their IDs, and took their room keys upstairs.Just as Chloe Bishop was about to push open her door, she heard a voice: "Mom!"She turned curiously and saw her aunt, Nia, beaming at her grandmother.Behind her stood Tina, poised and youthful, a bright smile on her face. It seemed the car accident ordeal had been perfectly resolved.Zara tossed her backpack onto the bed, her tone soft but distant. "I didn't expect you to arrive earlier than us."Nia smiled, her face overdone with skincare, her cheekbones protruding unnaturally—yet she still acted as if she were stunning. "Mom, it's not t

    The conflict between the Philip Group and the Mike Group had escalated to engulf the entire Brookfield market.With overseas markets in turmoil, no one dared to act rashly.Chloe Bishop sat at home, discussing the matter with Xavier Grayson over the phone.She suggested he simply settle things with money, but he wanted to meet with the two companies directly and see if cooperation was possible.Neither of those groups were easy to handle, though. Any company that had risen to the top in Brookfield wasn't someone to be trifled with.Chloe Bishop still felt uneasy. "Be careful. What if something goes wrong?"Xavier Grayson laughed, then said after a moment, "How could that happen? I built Eagle Enterprises in a week—I can turn Firth's company around in a week too."Chloe Bishop was half-convinced. "Fine, I'll trust you. I want to come keep you company."That idea was shot down immediately. "No. You're pregnant. Take care of yourself—and my son too."His tone was stern and serious, which

    Looking into Chloe’s bloodshot eyes, Liam withdrew his probing gaze. He lowered his eyelids, remaining silent and detached, his long lashes veiling whatever emotions stirred beneath.Chloe had always adored Liam’s physical perfection. Even now, standing there in the dim light, he looked like a flaw

    Outside the Operating Room.Chloe sat on a plastic chair, still wearing her million-dollar designer wedding dress. She was trembling, sitting as still as a lifeless mannequin. The dress, once pure and white, was now stained with dark, wet patches of blood. Against the crimson stains, her skin looke

    Chloe pinched the tiny scrap of black lace between her fingers, her expression filled with pure skepticism. "Are you serious? Is this even wearable?"Wouldn't just pinning him down be faster and more efficient? she thought.Bella rolled her eyes at Chloe’s lack of romantic vision. "What do you know

    “Where am I?”Chloe Bishop bolted upright, her head spinning with a sickening heaviness. The room was cold, sterile, and completely unfamiliar. She scrambled to get out of bed, her heart hammering against her ribs. She couldn't be here. Tomorrow was her wedding day—the day she would finally marry L
