LOGINWendy's eyes widened in disbelief.“But I thought you were just fooling around before. The way you're talking now... are you actually serious?”“When have I ever lied to you?”Kenneth found her question rather amusing.“You're right, I used to be a player. But now that I have Judy, I'm ready to settle down.”He spread his hands helplessly and added, “People always have that one person they cherish above everyone else, and the kind of life they dream of.”“The only life I want now is one that's peaceful, stable, and filled with happiness.”A sweet smile curved his lips.“And it just so happens that Judy can give me all of that. So, tell me, if I don't marry her, who else would I marry?“At the end of the day, isn't a peaceful, happy life what everyone is really searching for?”Wendy froze.She never would have imagined that her brother, the man who had once dated countless women without ever settling down, could say something so profound.She even reached up and pressed a hand to his fo
Joseph knew that the only person he could rely on now was himself.So, he could not afford to waste any more time.The moment he landed overseas, he finally felt a sense of relief.It meant he was one step closer to Judy.There was still a chance to win her back.As long as he was willing to fight for her, Judy would surely return to his side.For some reason, Joseph possessed an almost inexplicable confidence.Before he had even settled in after arriving, he rushed straight to the neighborhood where Judy's villa was located.For some reason, he felt that every moment he delayed would only push Judy farther out of his life.He refused to let that happen.Everything he shared with Judy had once been beautiful.How could it all change so suddenly?He muttered under his breath, “Judy... you're my Judy. How could you change so completely? Why are you marrying that man?“I won't allow it. I won't accept it. I can never stand by and let this happen.”His eyes glistened with tears as he spoke
“So the only thing we can do now is go along with them. Only then will the Song family have a chance to survive in the long run.”Nestled in her mother's embrace, Yvonne nodded gently.“Okay, Mom. I understand.”At that moment, Yvonne was like a bird finally returning to its nest, wrapped in the warmth of home.Only then did she realize how many things she misunderstood.Her mother loved her all along. She simply convinced herself that she did not.Sure enough, some problems could only be resolved by laying everything out in the open.Meanwhile, Edwin saw the messages Yvonne sent him.Holding his phone, a smile of amused interest spread across his face.“This is getting more and more interesting.“So Yvonne only thinks to ask me for help after she's in trouble. Why was she so silent before?”Edwin slowly rose to his feet.How could he possibly miss something this entertaining?“Yvonne, I'm helping you this time. You'd better not reject me again.”He muttered to himself, “Otherwise, I'l
After all, Aurora had always been her sworn enemy.Whether online or in real life, plenty of people knew about the history between the two of them.No matter how Aurora saw it, Yvonne had long regarded her as a rival.On the way over, Yvonne sent Edwin a series of messages.[I’m being taken to apologize to Aurora by your family. If you want to help me, get to Lucas’ place as soon as possible.][You know we're in the same boat. Unless you want me spilling everything, you'd better come.][Don't worry. As long as you come and help me, we're still on the same side. I'll let bygones be bygones.]After sending the messages, Yvonne finally let out a long breath.Only now did she realize she had been far too naive.Just when she thought everything was under her control, she realized she had been standing on the ground all along, looking up at those who truly held the high ground.She had no idea what Lucas might do next to get back at her.During the drive, however, she learned that both her p
At this point, Yvonne no longer cared about her pride.As long as they were willing to let her return overseas, that was all that mattered.Otherwise, there was no telling how much longer she would be trapped here.Besides, Aurora and Lucas had become more and more relentless.If they came to their senses later and decided to come after her again, she probably would not even have a chance to escape.With that thought, Yvonne took a deep breath and walked over to the Carter family.“I've already spoken to my parents. They told me you want me to apologize, and I've agreed.”The Carters exchanged puzzled glances.None of them understood how Yvonne had changed her mind so quickly.“Are you sincere about this apology?”Diana folded her arms, studying Yvonne carefully.Aurora was pregnant now and could not handle even the slightest emotional shock.She was carrying Diana's grandchild. There could be no room for even the smallest risk or uncertainty.Naturally, Diana wanted to eliminate every
"Don't say another word!"For Yvonne's sake, Michelle snapped at Diana without thinking.She had never liked Diana to begin with, and seeing her press Yvonne even further was more than she could bear."And that's how you speak to me?" Diana asked, narrowing her eyes.The quiet authority in her gaze was enough to make Michelle realize what a foolish mistake she'd just made."I'm... I'm sorry." Michelle immediately forced a smile. "It's all a misunderstanding. Things have just been so overwhelming lately."Watching her mother apologize so humbly, Yvonne felt as though she were looking at a stranger."Mom, do they have something on us?" she asked, frowning. "Why are you acting so... submissive?"Michelle's eyes lit up.At least the girl finally realizes they're not in a position to argue."Enough," she said quietly. "Don't ask any more questions. Just follow our lead."With that, Michelle guided Yvonne in front of Diana and apologized once again.This time, however, Diana wasn't buying it
Three years wasted on that bastard—what did it amount to?And now he even had the nerve to interfere with her career. Clearly, Joseph had no place in Ravenshore.The longer he stayed here, the more trouble he would stir up.Just thinking about dealing with him drained Aurora’s energy.She could have
Joseph had lost all patience.Before, he’d thought this secretary was easy on the eyes and pleasant enough to have around.Now, she seemed like a block of wood—utterly useless, needing instructions repeated several times before getting anything done.Seeing that he was truly angry, the secretary qui
So even if Lily were to do something to him now, he could understand.But clearly, she had no such intention.Seeing how happy she was, not even sparing him a thought, Julian felt an odd sense of relief.It meant she truly didn’t see him as important.And in his mind, that was a good thing—at least
Seeing him ignore her, Lily reached out and patted his shoulder. “Why aren’t you saying anything? You don’t believe me, do you?“Julian, I’m telling you, everything I said is true. Let me go now, and I can still help you.”Julian had intended to ignore her, but the more she spoke, the more insistent
