Seeing all three of his old friends praising her, Tom felt a pang of discontent.

He turned to Scarlett Johnson. "In that case, take this calligraphy performance as your chance. See if you can outshine her."

Scarlett Johnson shook her head with a helpless look. "Grandfather, we're not even competing. I'm just putting on a casual performance today. Don't take it so seriously."

Tom seemed to realize his own overreaction. He let out an "Oh."

"You're right. Just do your best, then."

Scarlett Johnson

    Xavier Grayson forcefully tried to remove her hand, but Chloe Bishop refused to let go. The two engaged in a brief tug-of-war—he pulled down, she pulled back."These aren't for you," he said.Chloe Bishop's eyes narrowed, a hint of grievance creeping in. "Then why did you buy them?"Adrian Grayson strolled over casually, hands behind his head, and planted himself between them, grinning widely."Uncle!"His childish, coaxing tone earned a response from Xavier Grayson. "Mm. Here."With that, he let go. Adrian Grayson caught the massive bag of snacks and plopped down on the floor with it.Chloe Bishop's eyes lit up. She was about to let go of Xavier Grayson's hand, but he suddenly reversed his grip and held onto her wrist."Hey—what are you doing?"Chloe Bishop frowned, annoyed. "Adrian can't finish all that—I'll help him."Rick, still oblivious to the tension, crouched down and patted Adrian Grayson's hair with a smile. "It's okay, sister-in-law. If Adrian can't finish, I'll help him ea

    He was almost desperate to be with her, but his injury would take time to heal.He let out a sigh and gently tapped his lower back. "This damn back—killing me."With a quiet groan of frustration, he slammed his fist against his leg—then immediately winced. His back!Nora wasn't the only one making a statement. Adam joined in too."Tea? What's tea? The only thing around me is white lotuses—those shameless white lotuses!"That was explosive. Everyone knew Adam was the gentlest of them all, the one who rarely said a harsh word. Yet here she was, responding with visible anger.It just went to show how much she loathed those "white lotuses" and "teas."Chloe Bishop watched the screen with a smile, but her eyes were starting to ache. She sat up and rubbed them.At four months pregnant, her movements had slowed considerably. Her slightly rounded belly made even simple actions a bit more difficult.Letting out a breath, she suddenly realized the room had gone quiet—she was alone.Xavier Grays

    Gwen Grayson sent a sly emoji. "Him? Smart? Please. I think it was just a blind squirrel finding a nut."Chloe Bishop rubbed her belly as she read the message and replied, "No, Tim is very sharp. You underestimate him."Nora: "Exactly. Tim's wasted on you. Maybe you should give him to someone else."Adam sent a snickering emoji, clearly enjoying the drama.Gwen Grayson responded with a grumpy emoji. "Forget it. We'll talk when Tim gets back."Chloe Bishop scrolled through the news and frowned, a flicker of displeasure crossing her face. "Take a look at what people are saying about you online."Gwen Grayson: "I saw it. They've got filthy mouths. I don't care at all. Don't worry."Nora: "Wow, really? The old Gwen Grayson would've been cursing up a storm. You seem like a different person now."At that moment, Gwen Grayson was lying in bed, tossing and turning as she skimmed the messages. She let out a cold laugh.Did she care? Of course she did—more than anything!She wanted nothing more

    Tayne Marsh put down his phone in frustration and massaged his temples.Ava Adam immediately moved closer, intending to help him with the massage. But then she remembered she was supposed to be the wronged party, so she let out a deliberate huff."Don't you owe me an explanation?"This was the common failing of women.Tayne Marsh let out a long sigh.Just when he needed a moment of peace, the woman beside him had to drag up the past and pick a fight.He worked all day, and at night he had to manage her emotions.Was he some kind of saint?Didn't he deserve his own space?"Say something! Don't just play dumb with me. Are you still not over Gwen Grayson? Do you still like her? Why else would one text from her send you running without even telling me?"With that, she grabbed a pillow and hurled it at him in anger."Tayne Marsh! Say something! You used to have so much to say!"Frustration boiled over. He snatched the pillow from her hands. "Are you done?"Ava Adam gasped. "Tayne Marsh! Yo

    Gwen Grayson: "???"She tilted her head slightly, her cheeks still squished in Tim's grip like a pufferfish."What's wrong?" she asked.Tim gave a faint smile. "But here's the thing—Tayne Marsh actually showed up, and you two were alone together in that room. By the time I got there, three hours had already passed."Gwen Grayson's face went pale. She immediately swatted Tim's hand away."How could that happen?"She quickly checked herself over, but didn't feel anything off. No discomfort anywhere.She looked up at him, half doubtful. "Tim, you're messing with me, aren't you?""Why would I lie to you? Ava Adam came too—she made a huge scene with me and Tayne Marsh. Are you sure nothing happened between you and him?"Tim wore a sly, teasing grin.Gwen Grayson had been about to explain herself, but seeing that smirk, she realized he was just trying to pressure her into defending herself.So she smiled sweetly instead. "Oh my, you know what... I think something did happen. I think I woke

    Ava Adam was certainly crafty—she'd managed to gather all four of them together and sow suspicion among them.Did she really think that would make Tayne Marsh fall for her?How laughable.Tim returned to the hotel room just as Gwen Grayson was beginning to stir.He leaned against the wall with a dark expression, keeping a deliberate distance from her.The temperature in the room seemed to drop several degrees.Gwen Grayson woke up feeling parched. She instinctively reached for the bedside table, but her hand found nothing. Blinking groggily, she looked around.When she realized this wasn't her home, she scanned the room in confusion."Huh?"She sat up slowly, a soft murmur escaping her lips.Then she felt it—a chilling gaze boring into her.She looked up and met Tim's sharp, probing eyes.Instinctively, she gasped, "Tim!"But instead of a response, she got a cold sneer."Heh."That laugh threw her off completely. She blinked a couple of times and asked, "What's wrong with you?"Tim he

    “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

    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
