ログインSince she had nothing to do with Liam anymore, she certainly had no connection to Sara Jay either.So there was no need to bring it up.Having made up her mind, her expression grew firm. She lifted her head from his shoulder."It doesn't hurt anymore. Go get ready for bed—we should sleep."Xavier Grayson watched her flip through moods faster than turning pages, then got up and headed to the bathroom.—These past few days, Noah had been stationed at Eagle Enterprises. He listened to Finch's reports on the company's status while also updating his second brother on the other end.The two often discussed project matters through video calls.Noah's eagerness to learn exceeded Xavier Grayson's expectations. He grasped concepts quickly and was sharp—Xavier Grayson found it very reassuring.So he decided to hand over an entire shipment to him.It was that batch of electronics from Mr. Firth. The goods had been sitting in his warehouse for quite a while now, and he hadn't figured out what to
Her voice was thick with resentment and a hint of pent-up frustration.Brandon Jay looked deeply at his sister, saying nothing. Instead, he simply stroked her head."I can't accept it either."A gust of wind swept past as the two siblings gazed at each other. Neither spoke, but something seemed to cross their minds at the same time. A smile tugged at their lips—cold and sharp against the biting wind.—Chloe Bishop got into the car. Gwen Grayson apologized again. "I can't believe we ran into her just by going out for a walk.""It's fine. Nothing happened anyway."Chloe Bishop fastened her seatbelt, feeling drained. "Take me home, please. I'm exhausted."Gwen Grayson nodded immediately and drove off.Back home, Chloe Bishop felt a splitting headache. She called for Anna.Anna examined her and concluded she'd just caught a chill from the wind. She brewed some herbal medicine, helped her get comfortable under the covers, and handed her a heat pack.When Xavier Grayson returned from the o
Sara Jay looked wounded, her eyes glistening with tears. Her frail figure swayed in the wind, as if one strong gust might knock her over.Brandon Jay held her hands protectively, his brow furrowed as he glared at Chloe Bishop. "My sister is trying to have a civil conversation with you about Liam. What's with that attitude?"Chloe Bishop spread her hands, her expression carrying a hint of helplessness—and if one looked closely, a trace of mockery. "What? I only said a couple of words, and your sister's already falling apart? When Liam abandoned me for her back then, I didn't crumble like this."Gwen Grayson also disliked Sara Jay, but she knew this was between the two of them—as an outsider, she didn't need to interfere. She gently tugged Chloe Bishop's hand. "Chloe, the wind's getting cold. Let's head back."Chloe Bishop agreed it was time to leave. She nodded, then cast one cold, merciless look at the siblings. "If you two know what you should and shouldn't do, then don't ever mentio
As the two women walked along the beach, they suddenly noticed two people sitting not far away.Gwen Grayson stopped short. She frowned at the pair, then turned without a word, ready to drag Chloe Bishop away.But Chloe Bishop had no idea what was going on. Just as she was about to follow, she heard a woman's voice from behind."Chloe Bishop?"The voice was achingly familiar. Chloe Bishop turned around and looked at her.It was Sara Jay.Her heart gave a small lurch. Instinctively, she glanced at the person beside Sara Jay.When she saw it was Brandon Jay rather than Liam Martin, she let out an almost imperceptible breath of relief.Feeling a little lighter, she turned to leave with Gwen Grayson without another word.But Sara Jay called out again: "Chloe Bishop! Can we talk?"Chloe Bishop turned back to look at her. The girl before her was undeniably innocent-looking, with a fragile demeanor that seemed barely able to withstand the cold wind—pitiful enough to tug at anyone's heartstri
Chloe Bishop was bored out of her mind at home. With Xavier Grayson busy managing both Bishop Group and Eagle Enterprises, she had nothing to do. So she called Gwen Grayson and suggested they visit Nora Fatehi at the hospital together.The two sisters bought a huge haul of goodies and headed upstairs.When they arrived, they saw Nora Fatehi helping Caesor walk slowly down the hospital corridor.Gwen Grayson's cast was still on. She walked over and said, "Nora, look what Chloe and I brought."Nora Fatehi and Caesor glanced over and saw their favorite fruit—pomelos. A warm feeling spread through Nora Fatehi's heart. She nodded at them. "Thank you both for going out of your way to come see us."Chloe Bishop had Vincent carry the fruit and other things into the room, then sat down with the two of them on the benches in the hallway."How's Caesor doing?"Caesor lowered himself slowly into a seat, one hand on his back. "The doctor says it'll take a few more months before I'm fully recovered
Xavier Grayson: "Whether you deserve it or not is for me to decide. Starting tomorrow, you'll report to Eagle Enterprises. Finch will be there to help you, so I won't have to worry. Over at Bishop Group, things have been too tense lately—I need to stay and help my father manage things."Noah nodded. "Got it. Actually, my dad didn't just send me here to talk about that. There's something else he wanted me to tell you."Xavier Grayson was unfazed. He took a sip of his Blue Mountain coffee and regarded his brother calmly."What is it? Did Uncle have something else to say?"Noah smiled, though it came out a bit wry. "Uncle came by today."Xavier Grayson's expression didn't change. "And then?"Noah relayed what had happened, sneaking glances at his brother after every sentence.When he finished, he added, "We're all family."Xavier Grayson understood what that meant. He drained the rest of his coffee, set the cup down, and stayed silent for a long while. The atmosphere in the office turned
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
“Have you found out who did this yet?”Liam Martin’s usually handsome, refined face was currently shrouded in a dark, suffocating shadow. He looked cold and lethal—the literal personification of the calm before a devastating storm.At twenty-four, Liam had spent the last six years clawing his way t
