2025-06-21 15:35:03The light in the boy’s eyes dimmed for a moment, and he said listlessly, “Master won’t let me go, and I don’t know anyone in New York City.”
Adriana smiled gently. Her thin white fingers tapped the boy’s forehead. “Silly, don’t I count as someone you know?”
Hearing this, the corners of Calvin’s mouth slowly lifted into a forty-five-degree arc, and he held that smile for a long time without letting it fade.
Adriana was secretly brainwashing the kid to go to New York City—so that Mr. Teng would follow, and stay close enough to treat his insomnia.
She was helping him.
But why would she do that for him?
Calvin didn’t want to think too deeply about the reason. Whatever it was, if she was doing something for him, he’d rather believe it came from a good place.

In the afternoon, Calvin and Adriana went for a stroll on the eastern side of the excursion ar

On the other side...Mark stared at the chat box, lost in thought.This was the second time Adriana had told him not to send flowers again.Last time, he’d expressed his feelings in a roundabout way and she hadn’t rejected him outright—she’d given a quiet acquiescence.But this time?Had she developed feelings for someone else?Did she not want him wasting any more of his energy?Or was she trying to suggest there was no chance for them to move forward?Whatever the reason, it stung a little.“What are you thinking about? You haven’t moved a muscle,” came a voice beside him.Startled, Mark quickly put his phone away.“It’s nothing. The verdict just came down. I’m heading back to the law firm,” he replied.Derick, still in his court uniform, had just finished his own hearing. He clapped Mark on the shoulder. “Don’t lie to me. That look in your eyes just now—it’s the same one you had when you were fighting with your girlfriend back in the day. Emotional trouble?”Mark let out a small la

On the way back, Adriana didn’t say a word.Kevin wanted to speak several times to break the silence in the car, but he couldn’t find a suitable topic. In the end, he kept his mouth shut, not wanting to add to the tension.Calvin, for his part, remained as calm as a statue.Adriana stared out the window at the scenery passing by and thought back to what she had said to her brother. In front of Calvin, she refused to reveal her true emotions, choosing instead to wrap her fragile heart in a cold shell.As they approached a fork in the road, Kevin finally broke the silence.“President, where are we going?”To the left was Adriana’s rented apartment. To the right, the Green wick complex.Kevin didn’t dare make a hasty decision.“Drop me off at the intersection,” Adriana said. “I’ll take a taxi home. Don’t delay sending Calvin back.”Calvin’s face, half-shadowed under the streetlights, tightened slightly as he furrowed his brows.“Send Adriana home first,” he said firmly.Now that the sile

“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.
