The tension in the Ancestral Mansion had reached a fever pitch, but it wasn't the cold, professional divorce negotiation Chloe Bishop had expected. Instead, it was a psychological battlefield where the weapons were old grievances and shocking intimate revelations.

An Lan’s charm was an elemental force, something that radiated from within rather than relying on artifice. Even now, dressed in a simple white T-shirt, jeans, and white sneakers with minimal makeup, she looked like a woman who could

    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

    Xavier Grayson turned a deaf ear to Donovan Tang’s explanation. His razor-sharp gaze remained fixed solely on Chloe Bishop; he demanded the truth from her lips alone."After we parted ways last night, I drove him back," Chloe explained, her demeanor open and untroubled. "There was not a single impr

    As the tension from Arthur Vance’s forced retreat lingered, Lulu turned her attention back to the primary target. In the past, someone like Arthur would never have been subjected to such humiliation, and Lulu couldn't help but feel that he was no longer worthy of Sarah Vance’s lingering affection.

    The new arrival was Julian Thorne (the Ally). Upon entering, he scanned the room, his gaze resting on Chloe Bishop. "She was worried, so I took it upon myself to come and see," he said simply.Chloe remained silent, thinking to herself that an explanation wasn't strictly necessary, even as she note

    Arthur Vance’s voice boomed again, deafening and absolute. "Lulu, this is your last chance."Lulu, determined not to drag anyone down with her, pushed Chloe Bishop aside. She stared at Arthur with unmasked disdain and contempt. "Go ahead and try." Did Arthur really think Lingan Group was a soft per
