He was already in a foul mood, and when he saw the incoming call, he assumed it was Ava Adam. He answered with little enthusiasm.

But when he saw the familiar phone number on the screen, his heart gave an involuntary leap.

Especially when he read the message:

"Tayne, I have something I'd like to talk to you about. Can you come out?"

The timid, pleading tone sent his heart racing. In that moment, he felt as though he had rediscovered the thrill he once had with Ava Adam—that sense of anticipatio

    Fine. Might as well try—what's the worst that could happen?With the resolve of a soldier marching to his death, he opened the document.But when he saw what was inside, he froze.This Tim—what a piece of work.Just look at the first tip:"Take a girl to a bar and pull her into a crowded spot. Girls get a lot of attention there, which means plenty of wandering hands. That's when you wrap your arm around her waist and whisper, 'Don't worry, I'm here.'"Wyatt's smile turned awkward. He moved on to the second, third, and fourth tips.Finally, he started cursing under his breath."Forget it. Tim's a playboy—these tricks aren't my style."But just as he was about to close it, he noticed there were a few decent ideas further down.So he kept reading.By the end, he was fired up. Yes—he'd found the right approach.He put it into action right away.First, he bought a bouquet of flowers and hid a ring inside it. Then he found a romantic outdoor café.After that, he texted her to meet up.Adam

    Seeing Chloe Bishop act like a little guinea pig testing the food, Adrian Grayson felt a bit embarrassed. After all, Xavier Grayson had made all those dumplings for him—and his uncle rarely cooked at home.Oh well, I'll take one for the team and give it a try.He scooped one up and took a bite.To his surprise, it actually tasted pretty good.He nodded right away. "It's delicious!"Rick was skeptical at first, but once she confirmed it was indeed tasty, the four of them dug in.The next day, Xavier Grayson found a school for Adrian Grayson in the area.Since Adrian Grayson's English was even better than theirs, he quickly became popular with the other kids.First, he was chubby and cute, like a little rice ball.

    Shawn suddenly laughed. "Powerful? Not really. Compared to what happened in South Africa, this is nothing. Because people up top will fight you openly. But in South Africa? Those were hidden daggers—much harder to dodge."Chloe Bishop nodded. "When you put it that way, I get it.""See? Don't worry. If anyone dares to hurt you, I'm the first to object. Even if the Shah family is up top, they'll have to come down and behave when it's time. Do you need me to help?"Chloe Bishop declined directly. "Not for now. Nothing's really happened yet—I was just asking."From the other end came Zara's voice. "Chloe, have you been wronged? How did you get tangled up with people up top again?"Chloe Bishop smiled and explained. She couldn't let her family get dragged into this. South Africa was one thing—that was underhanded—but this was open and public. If things went wrong, more than just a few people would be caught up in it. If it came to a public showdown, no one would escape unscathed.So she sa

    Xavier Grayson was in the middle of making dumplings when his phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID—an unfamiliar number—so he handed it to Chloe Bishop to answer.At first, she didn't want to pick up. What if it was some girl with a crush on Xavier Grayson? Answering it would only ruin their mood.But since he insisted, she went ahead and answered."Hello."There was a few seconds of silence on the other end before a somewhat deep voice spoke up. "Where's Xavier? Why are you answering his phone?"Chloe Bishop couldn't place the voice, so she held the phone up to Xavier Grayson's ear.Xavier Grayson kept kneading the dough as he asked, "Who's this?""It's me, Scarlett Johnson."Her voice wasn't loud or soft—just enough for Chloe Bishop to hear clearly.Xavier Grayson's tone dropped a few degrees. "What do you want?""Can't I call you without wanting something? I ruined years of friendship with Zendaya because of you! And you're still this cold to me!"Hearing the outburst of anger a

    Zendaya let out a mocking laugh and shook her head. "I don't care. I just want to go home. I just want my dad to teach Xavier Grayson a lesson! Scarlett Johnson! You'd better have some dignity! Not everyone is going to orbit around you!"Scarlett Johnson heard the words spill out without a second thought and knew they came from the heart. Both of them were in a state of rage right now, so naturally, neither was going to think well of the other.Scarlett Johnson grabbed Zendaya by the shoulders and shoved her back. "When did I ever think that highly of myself? Who's orbiting around me?! I have someone I love—what's wrong with you protecting him? Mind your own business! I'm warning you, Zendaya—"Before she could finish, Sana stepped between them."Enough, both of you! You two are such good sisters, and you're letting one man and one woman tear you apart like this! How embarrassing! Zendaya, if you're going home to complain, just tell your father that Chloe Bishop did everything. Scarle

    Still, for the sake of keeping the conversation going with Xavier Grayson, she tried hard to recall Lana Rose and Lucian Grayson's behavior.To be honest, they had indeed gone too far.One woman who abandoned her family and child to take on the infamous label of a "sex symbol," and one violently abusive father—this family had truly suffered.Thankfully, at least one of them turned out normal.That was Xavier Grayson.She didn't know how lucky she was. After a moment of careful thought, she said, "Love your children, love your parents. As long as you don't turn out like your mom and dad, I think you'd count as a good parent."Xavier Grayson fell silent, kneading the dough with extra force, as if venting all his frustration into it.Right into that lump of dough.Chloe Bishop watched him sulk and couldn't help but find it endearing."I hope I never become like my father."Chloe Bishop covered his mouth. "When you say things like that about yourself, have you ever thought about me? If yo

    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
