The heavy canopy of the Haicheng wilderness filtered the afternoon sun into jagged shards of light. Donovan Tang reached out a gloved hand, grabbing Chloe Bishop by the shoulder of her tactical vest and pulling her firmly behind him. His voice carried the weight of a battlefield command.

"You have the best aim," he stated, his tone brooking no argument. "Stay directly behind me."

Chloe blinked in surprise, her rifle lowered for a second. She looked at the broad, rigid back of the man she used t

    The Careful Lie"Mother, what exactly is wrong with Chloe?"Madam Bishop stared at Chloe, who remained deeply unconscious, her eyes streaming with tears of panic.Master Marcus’s wife, Grandma Marcus, spoke up with a calm smile. "It is nothing serious. She is simply exhausted, and her blood flow is weak. She just needs a long, deep sleep, and she will be fine.""Then why did Father remain silent just now?" Madam Bishop asked, clearly not buying the easy explanation.Donovan Tang stepped forward, his expression tight. "Should we take her to the hospital for a full physical check-up to be safe?"Grandma Marcus shook her head with a gentle, dismissing smile. "There is no need for that. It is just a minor ailment common to women; the old master simply felt embarrassed to speak about it in front of you men."Madam Bishop immediately turned her gaze toward Master Marcus Sr. "Father?"Master Marcus nodded, keeping his expression neutral. "Mhm. It is no major problem. Let your mother prepare

    The Silent WatcherWhat exactly was Vince supposed to be watching?The mission was simple: make sure Donovan Tang never stepped foot inside Chloe Bishop’s bedroom. If Donovan dared to act out of line, Vince had orders to neutralize the threat without a moment’s hesitation.Yet, seeing Donovan at the Bishop villa again tonight felt like a punch to the gut. Was the man actually planning to move in permanently?Why hasn't Vince returned yet?Xavier Grayson glanced at the expensive watch on his wrist. It had already been five minutes since Chloe vanished through the front doors alongside Donovan. He picked up his mobile phone and dialed Vince’s line, his voice cold. "Did you track the target?"Vince’s tone was heavy and filled with frustration. "He managed to slip away, but the location where he disappeared was revealing. It is a nightclub owned by a woman named Sarah He, and the man pulling the strings behind the scenes is none other than your father."Xavier’s eyes narrowed. "What is th

    The Broken BoundaryChloe Bishop never expected Xavier Grayson to suddenly kiss her. By the time her mind could react to the impact, her body was already pressed firmly against the leather car seat, with his large hand locking the back of her head completely in place.The kiss was sudden and fierce. Xavier refused to give her even a single fraction of a chance to fight back."Get away..."Chloe pushed against his heavy shoulders with all her strength, desperate to force the man away from her space. But the difference in their strength was simply too vast. No matter how hard she pushed or hit him, his massive body remained completely unmoved."Chloe?"Donovan Tang’s voice cut through the mobile speaker once more, his tone overflowing with deep, heavy confusion."You bastard!"Chloe was filled with pure anger and humiliation. She raised her free hand and swung it straight toward his handsome face to slap him.By what right? By what exact right did he think he could humiliate her like th

    The Broken Request"When the execution initialized, if your network needs... what?" Xavier Grayson pushed for answers, his deep voice heavy with a harsh demand.He had shared the dangerous details of the simulation plan with her solely to get her to speak up. Who could have expected that she would cut her sentence perfectly in half and forcefully swallow it back down?"It is nothing," Chloe Bishop answered quietly, refusing to bring the topic up again.Her thoughts automatically flashed to the image of little Liam Jr. resting so sweetly and comfortably inside Vivienne Lin’s arms. The bitter memory caused a sudden, sharp ache to tighten over her chest. It was a miserable feeling that was incredibly difficult to describe—filled with a mix of cold bitterness, sorrow, and deep loss.Xavier, however, refused to let her retreat. "No one knows what will happen when the simulation goes live. To prevent a worst-case scenario, I want you to be there."He let out a flat, inward sneer. To think y

    The Unyielding Command"I said, get in the car."Xavier Grayson repeated his words, his voice thick with a dominant, terrifying arrogance.Unfortunately, Chloe Bishop completely lacked any sense of high-society submission. She pointed a slender finger toward her own red vehicle and flatly refused his perimeter. "There is zero need. My system can simply drive back to my residence alone."She already owed his estate far too many debts; how could her system dare to trouble his frame any further?Xavier’s handsome face turned completely severe, his eyes flashing with a dangerous light. "Do not force my voice to state the command a third time."The sudden near-miss from a block of seconds ago had left Xavier with an intense wave of lingering horror. If his system hadn't stayed stationed inside these underground coordinates to monitor her safety, or if his physical frame had launched even a microsecond slower, Chloe Bishop would be either dead or permanently crippled right now!Staring at X

    The Missing PiecesChloe Bishop was more confused than ever. Was it possible that Donald Jay had also received a midnight phone call from that exact same mysterious benefactor before stepping forward to clear her name?She immediately pushed for answers, her fingers typing out a sharp demand: "Then who exactly should my system be thanking?"Donald Jay replied almost instantly: "Run a guess protocol!"Not again!What on earth were they all trying to hide? Was it truly necessary to be this secretive and deliberate on the board?Chloe refused to let it go, sending back another burning text: "Is this person truly so shameful that they cannot even show their face to the public?"This time, Donald Jay did not reply at all. His silence left Chloe feeling incredibly frustrated and completely locked out of the core data.Yet, she understood the mechanics of the game perfectly. The public voices of both Ethan and Donald Jay had been absolutely critical during this media war. One had fully valid

    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
