Even his hair was streaked with patches of silver."Bitch! Bitch! Winnie! You bitch!"Suddenly, a piercing scream echoed from an upstairs room.It was unmistakably Mrs. Olson's voice.Immediately after, the sound of objects being smashed rang out.The butler glanced at a servant beside him, who quickly turned and left.Because of what had happened to Veronica, Mrs. Olson had suffered a severe emotional breakdown. Her mental state was now extremely unstable, and she kept screaming that she wanted to kill Winnie.In the end, Mr. Olson had no choice but to have her locked inside a room.The moment she heard that Winnie had arrived, Mrs. Olson started spiraling again.Although Mr. Olson also harbored deep resentment toward Winnie, at this point, he knew he bore responsibility as well.He had once held genuine affection for Winn
"Tell me where you are. I'll come to you."Charlotte ended the call and immediately woke Noah, who had been asleep in the living room.She pushed the door open, and he was already up."What's going on?" he asked."Michael is missing," she said while hurriedly getting dressed. "Winnie went to the Olson family estate, but they wouldn't even meet her. Now she's alone at the gate of the Olson villa."Noah looked slightly surprised. "The Olson family… It seems unlikely they'd make a move against Michael.""I think it's possible," Charlotte said. "Maybe they want to use him to force Winnie to drop the lawsuit or give up the inheritance.""In the past, that might've been plausible," Noah said calmly. "But now, everything between the Olson family and Winnie is out in the open. All their moves are being watched. If they really went that far, it would be total mutual destruction. At that point, there'd be no room to bargain—they might as well just die together."His analysis was calm and
"Okay," Winnie replied, though her attention was completely absorbed by the plot on the screen. She didn't even look up at Michael.After leaving downstairs, Michael threw out the trash and walked slowly toward the opposite street block.The streetlights were dim, stretching his tall, slender shadow even longer across the pavement.Then another shadow emerged from the darkness and quickly moved closer behind him.…At last, the intense scene on the screen came to an end. Only then did Winnie snap back to reality—and realize the house was completely silent.The night had deepened, and the world outside the window was pitch black."Michael?" she called softly.He still hadn't returned.She checked the time. Nearly two hours had passed. Even if he had gone far to buy things, he should have been back by now.She picked up her phone and called Michael.But all she heard on the other end was a message: the phone was switched off.Out of battery?Winnie frowned. For some reason,
At lunchtime, Michael brought the news to Winnie.Originally, she was supposed to go to work that day, but Michael wouldn't allow it and even helped her take leave.Unable to resist him, Winnie simply stayed home and lingered with him instead.The two of them stayed in bed until the afternoon. Only then did Michael get up to cook a few dishes she liked.Watching the media tear into the Olson family with almost vicious satisfaction, Winnie couldn't help but snort softly."Feels good?" Michael asked. "There's always karma in this world. The Olson family was too greedy. A foundation that solid, and it collapsed overnight. Trying to scheme against others in the end only backfired on their own daughter.""Yes," she said lightly. "It does feel good. But the moment I saw their ending, I realized they're no longer worth any emotion from me."She closed the video.First, she served Michael a bowl of soup, then poured herself one, taking a quick sip."It's good. Your cooking's improved
At that moment, Ethan had just reached the office building entrance.Seeing the two of them, he instinctively tried to avoid the situation.But Charlotte called out to him directly."Ethan?""Mm." Ethan replied awkwardly. "I'm heading to the police station."With that, he quickly left.Watching his retreating figure, a faint heaviness settled in Charlotte's chest.Even though she had clearly drawn a line between herself and Ethan, it still felt as if he could no longer interact with her normally.So be it. Time would eventually smooth everything over.Noah seemed to sense her thoughts."Ethan is actually a good person," he said."Yes," she replied softly. "He is. In the future… he'll probably meet someone even better."'Someone better would surely appear to fill his loneliness,' she silently thought, then tightened her grip on Noah's hand.Noah looked at her and nodded. "Yeah."Not long after, Michael also escorted Winnie out of the Morrison Group office building. He held
Ethan had people urgently pull up the security footage and saw Veronica enter Winnie's floor. After hearing that Winnie had already left work, she quickly followed her into the elevator.Seeing that Winnie was safe and that Veronica had already been restrained, Charlotte and Ethan both finally let out a breath of relief at the same time.Bodyguards nearby immediately stepped forward to pull Veronica up.When Charlotte saw Noah, she immediately broke away from Ethan and rushed over to him.She grabbed his arm, concern flashing in her eyes. "Are you alright?"Noah shook his head, a faint smile tugging at his lips. "Of course I'm fine."His gaze shifted toward Winnie beside them.Charlotte quickly went over to check on Winnie as well.Ethan instructed the bodyguards to take Veronica upstairs first, then walked over to the group."Winnie, are you okay?""I'm fine," Winnie nodded."Ethan, I think the security needs to be strengthened," Charlotte said with some worry. "Even someon
