Calvin’s tone softened slightly, but his stance remained firm and unquestionable. “There’s no reason to take back the words I’ve already said. So, this is how tonight will be arranged. As for you, cancel your plans.”

Adriana was determined not to back down this time. She couldn’t keep letting Calvin dictate her every move. “I can’t cancel it. It’s very important—I have to be there. Your appointment is just a private dinner, but mine could affect the future development of my career. Which one do you think is more important?”

Calvin didn’t bother reasoning with her. Instead, he glanced at the large bags scattered in the living room. “Rest for a while, and then get up to organize these things. We’ll make dumplings tonight; prepare in advance.”

His commanding tone made her blood boil. “You—!” she started, but was cut off by the sound of his phone ringing.

Kevin was calling to remind him about a video conference that had already been waiting for ten minutes.

    “What?” Calvin asked.Kevin carefully considered his words. “Alice has come to New York. It looks like she wants to develop her career here.”Calvin, uninterested in irrelevant people, simply replied, “Uh-huh.”Still, Kevin felt it necessary to add a few more details. “She joined Collen’s entertainment company—not as an artist, but in the business group of the film and television department.”“Oh?”Calvin sneered, amused. “Looks like she’s here for Carson.”That was… kind of interesting.Kevin shifted topics. “The island sanatorium project can also begin gradually. When would you like to start construction, President?”Calvin replied, “Notify the engineering department—we’ll start on the first of next month.”Kevin nodded, then suddenly remembered the significance of that date.Even

    Austin’s neck veins bulged, coiled like boiling vessels about to burst through the skin. He gritted his teeth and shouted, “Calvin!”Calvin’s eyes were cold. “You think hiding overseas will keep you all safe? Is Adriana the kind of woman who can stand firm in New York City?”Austin’s eyes burned red, and he squeezed out his words through clenched teeth. “Don’t you touch her.”“The people who went after Clarke to collect the debt—those people aren’t all dead.”The room fell into dead silence.A long enough pause—long enough to think—allowed Austin’s full rage to calm. His mind flashed back to when his home was under siege, to the countless others who had fallen on their swords.Compared to them… even Calvin’s approach today could be considered mild.After a while, Austin sat back down, his voice no longer filled with murde

    Austin, now dependent on others for survival, couldn’t afford to act rashly. He swallowed his pride and held back the anger rising in his chest.“That money isn’t in my hands,” he said slowly, “but where it went… you haven’t checked.”That was as close to the truth as he dared to go.Calvin asked, “What do you have on you?”To move such a large sum of money as hush money, there had to be leverage—someone was holding a handle.Austin didn’t respond to that. Instead, he said, “Calvin, if it makes you feel better, just pretend we all died overseas.”“Dying won’t solve the problem.”Austin remained silent.“How was the money transferred?” Calvin pressed.Still no answer.“In New York City?” he asked again.Austin clenched his jaw, forcing himself not to reveal anything—not a word, not a flicker of expression.Calvin tapped twice on the document in front of him with a long finger. “I know.”It wasn’t there—this was at a much higher level.It wasn’t surprising that Austin didn’t dare speak.

    When he arrived, his parents and wife had repeatedly urged him to persuade his sister.But seeing the sadness in her eyes, he couldn’t bring himself to make such a cold, hard decision.Feelings aren’t something one can just switch off.Bones may be broken, flesh may be cut—but even then, the tendons remain connected. Outsiders can never fully understand a bond like this.Adriana pursed her lips and clenched her fists. “Brother, you used to have a wide range of contacts in New York City. Mom and Dad know a lot of people too. Why don’t you help me meet someone trustworthy?”Mom and Dad couldn’t be wrong, and she was open to the idea of an uneventful marriage.After all, it wouldn’t be forever. She didn’t want to disappoint her parents again. Even if she couldn’t do anything else for now, at least she could give them some peace of mind.Austin was half amused by her resigned attitude, as if she were giving up on her life. “You’d actually agree if I introduced someone to you?”“Willing.

    He had asked Austin to come back—not to facilitate their reunion, but for another reason. Still, he couldn’t bring himself to interrupt the emotional moment inside. With him present, Adriana wouldn’t be as relaxed, and Austin would remain guarded.“I’ll talk to him alone tomorrow,” he decided.Adriana’s eyes remained fixed on the screen, and before long, she burst out in harsh laughter. It was clear she and her brother were very close.Calvin rubbed his brow with his long fingers, a hint of sadness on his face.Kevin handed him a cup of tea and asked in a low voice, “Is there any room for maneuvering in Clarke’s matter?”Calvin replied, “It won’t be easy.”“I’ve heard someone higher up is deliberately suppressing it,” Kevin said cautiously, avoiding direct confrontation.Calvin took a sip of water, deep in thought. “If it were just a debt problem, we could throw money at it and be done. But the Maxwells—whom he offended—won’t be satisfied with simply letting him come back alive.”Kevi

    The words were reproachful, but the tone was surprisingly gentle and heartfelt.Adriana’s eyes turned red, and the tip of her nose stung as tears streamed down.Looking at her brother—finally back safely after a long flight—her heart surged like a tsunami. The moment felt distorted, like a dream, yet overwhelmingly real.She had truly seen her brother again—in New York, in the vast land of her own country.“Why have you lost weight again? Don’t you eat enough, even after opening a restaurant?” she scolded softly.Austin reached out and rubbed his sister’s hair. “You’ve lost weight too. But you’re still pretty. Have you been doing well?”Adriana clung to her brother’s arm, letting her tears soak into his shirt. It had been so long since she’d seen him in a suit—he still looked so poised, so handsome.“I’m fine. I eat well, sleep well, live well, and work well,” she said, repeating well several times, just in case he didn’t believe her.But Austin could sense she was only trying to reas
