LOGINNow that they knew exactly who their target was, there was no reason to hesitate.Before long, the full video was sent to Lucas' parents as well as Yvonne's.The moment both families watched it, they were furious.Edward slammed a hand on the table."This is outrageous! Just what do they think our daughter-in-law is?""Exactly," Diana agreed. "Aurora is the daughter-in-law our family chose. Since when does anyone else have the right to judge or bully her?"She looked at her husband and added, "You know, I used to like Yvonne when she was younger. How did she turn into someone so vicious?""Doesn't she know Aurora is pregnant? Has she no sense of restraint at all?"Edward's expression darkened."Don't worry. Since this has happened, I'll make sure Aurora gets the justice she deserves. I won't let her swallow this humiliation."Just then, Philip slowly descended the stairs."What are the two of you planning?" he asked. "Tell this old man. If there's anything I can do to help, I won't hol
Still, everything he'd said was true.Lucas really was that capable."Anything else?"Noticing Desmond's hesitant expression, Lucas looked up."Is there something else you need to report?"Desmond slapped a hand against his forehead and let out a helpless laugh."Look at me. My memory's getting worse by the day. I do have one more thing."As he spoke, he placed a USB drive containing the footage from his hidden body camera on Lucas's desk."Mr. Carter, I recorded everything Miss Song said."And the video's crystal clear. You can see and hear everything she did."Lucas looked mildly surprised."It went that smoothly?"Even now, Desmond still found it hard to believe."Honestly, I'm still trying to figure it out myself. She confessed way too easily."He shook his head in disbelief."I barely had to do anything. She practically spilled everything herself. And it looks like she and Joseph have completely fallen out.""I expected as much."He had deliberately sent Desmond to bring Joseph to
"And I have a feeling there's more to this. What if someone is deliberately targeting Mrs. Carter?"Desmond already had someone in mind.But he didn't dare voice his suspicion in front of Lucas just yet.Things weren't nearly as simple as they seemed.People in powerful families played by a different set of rules.They had their own ways of thinking and handling problems.If he said the wrong thing and Lucas wasn't pleased, it could make the situation even harder to resolve.Lucas took the phone from him and glanced at the screen.His gaze immediately turned cold."Find the newspaper that published those articles. Whoever sent you that message is probably someone who works there."Desmond's eyes lit up."Mr. Carter, that's brilliant. I think you're right."He slapped a hand against his forehead."Why didn't I think of that? It had to be someone on the inside. They knew about the story before it even went live."The articles hadn't even gone live yet, but someone was already warning me
Grace felt nothing but satisfaction as her plan fell into place.Meanwhile, Desmond frowned as he read the message.He knocked on the door to Lucas' office, intending to report everything.Not only had Yvonne confessed to everything, but he also wanted to ask Lucas how they should proceed.Even as he walked toward the office, an uneasy feeling lingered in the back of his mind.His eyes kept drifting to his phone.He couldn't stop thinking about the anonymous account that had sent him the warning.What exactly was about to happen online?Or had someone simply been playing a prank on him?Desmond pressed his lips into a thin line, anxiety creeping into his chest.He wasn't sure whether he was doing the right thing.If he chose not to tell Lucas now and something really happened later, would he be able to live with the consequences?The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became.After weighing it over, Desmond decided he needed to tell Lucas immediately instead of putting it off
Aurora married into one of the wealthiest families, while Grace had nothing to guarantee her own future.All she'd asked was for Aurora to do her one small favor, and Aurora refused.If that was the case, then Grace would rather see her ruined.At this point, she truly didn't care anymore.If Aurora's reputation was destroyed, there was even a chance the written guarantee she'd signed would no longer carry any legal weight.And perhaps Tessa might even be released.The thought alone pleased Grace.The editor-in-chief hesitated."Madam Grace, are we really doing the right thing?""What do you mean by that?"Grace shot him a sharp glare."If you're this timid, you'll never accomplish anything. And don't forget how much money I've invested in this newspaper. Are you already planning to turn your back on me?"Facing Grace's aggressive attitude, the editor-in-chief would have been lying if he said he wasn't afraid.He knew exactly what kind of person she was.In the end, he spoke in a tremb
But it didn't take long for Joseph to realize something was wrong.What about Judy, who was still overseas?Wasn't he supposed to win her back?By slapping Yvonne, hadn't he just cut off every possible path forward?Still, what was done was done.In his mind, as a man, he couldn't back down now.With that thought, Joseph straightened his back."I hit you. So what?" He cleared his throat, his voice rough with emotion. "Yvonne, don't forget, you were the one who crossed the line first. I've put up with you again and again. I think I've treated you well enough, so why are you never satisfied?"Besides, if you hadn't humiliated me in front of Desmond just now, I never would've laid a hand on you."As she listened, Yvonne's eyes grew colder by the second."Fine, Joseph Hunt. I'll remember this slap." She pointed a finger straight at him. "Just don't regret it."The contempt and malice in her eyes were impossible to hide."And don't forget, I still have people overseas. A man like you—what
“Figures, it had to be you.”Yvonne praised him sincerely. “I’d almost forgotten that she even has a company.”“That’s fine. There’s still a lot we need to look into.”Edwin gently patted Yvonne on the shoulder. “Don’t worry, Yvonne. I haven’t forgotten the way you were hurt. How could I not feel fo
Reaching out to Maria again would only make him feel as though he had betrayed his lawful wife.Besides, Philip was someone who understood boundaries very well. He knew what should be done and what should not.From the moment he realized Maria harbored improper intentions, he no longer wanted any in
