LOGINThen Aurora’s situation would have resolved itself without effort.Sometimes, if no action was taken at all, others would start to see it as a sign of weakness.Edwin was clearly one of those people now.Lucas had already come to a decision—he had tolerated Edwin long enough. How could he keep putting up with him again and again?They were all adults now. It was obvious each person should have their own path to follow.Staying in one place, shutting oneself inside a small, closed circle—how could that be considered capability?In this day and age, anyone who stubbornly refused to move forward would soon be left behind.Lucas knew very well that Edwin was the type who refused to admit defeat no matter what.If everything wasn’t laid out clearly before him, if the evidence wasn’t placed right in front of his face, he would never admit to anything.Precisely because Lucas understood his nature so well, he had his own way of dealing with him.For a man as slippery and shameless as Edwin, L
She was still a woman about to be married.What was the point of just standing there watching her?Even if his subordinate didn’t understand, he still had to carry it out.Meanwhile, Lucas was already closing in on the abandoned warehouse where the doctor was hiding.His expression grew increasingly grim.If the doctor had chosen to hide here, it meant he likely had a backup plan—it couldn’t be as simple as just lying low inside the warehouse.Lucas sent Desmond another message, asking about Edwin’s situation.Desmond replied promptly.“Sir, I’m currently following Edwin’s car. I’ve been keeping an eye on his movements the whole time.”“Good. Stay on him. Don’t let your guard down and make sure you see exactly where he’s headed.”“Understood.”Hearing the seriousness in Lucas’ tone, Desmond felt his own nerves tighten.At first, he hadn’t thought much of it, but now it seemed things were far more complicated than he’d imagined.In the end, Desmond quietly added, “Sir, you should be car
So, what gave him the right to act so smug?That self-satisfied look—did he really think he could stand in front of her and make a case for himself?Of course, Judy didn’t know any of this yet.But once Joseph had made up his mind, there was no way he was staying here any longer.The wedding was set for the fifteenth of next month—there was still time.Right now, Joseph wasn’t thinking too far ahead. He just needed to finish what Yvonne had assigned him, and deal with the rest step by step.With that thought, he took a steady breath and instructed his subordinate, “Alright, you don’t need to stay here with me anymore. Go to Judy. If anything comes up, report it to me immediately.“And keep a close eye on everything she does.”The subordinate couldn’t help feeling puzzled.What exactly was wrong with Joseph?He had been assigned by Yvonne to stay by Joseph’s side, thinking he would be doing something important.But now, it all felt insignificant.More than that, he even felt like his ab
Before long, the person Joseph had sent out returned and brought him the news.The moment he saw him, Joseph asked impatiently, “Well? Is Judy really getting married?”Seeing the urgency on his face, the subordinate’s expression turned uneasy.He knew exactly what that look meant—Joseph was hoping the news wasn’t true.After hesitating for a long moment, he finally spoke.“Mr. Hunt, it’s true.“Miss Moore really is getting married. The date’s set for the fifteenth of next month, and the Shaws family has already made it public.”Joseph staggered back a couple of steps.He hadn’t expected things to turn out exactly as he feared.It seemed that this time, Judy had truly made up her mind to cut him out of her life completely.“Are you sure the information is accurate?”He still refused to give up.As far as he was concerned, as long as she wasn’t married yet, there was still a chance. But once the wedding happened, she would belong to someone else, and then he would have none of her at al
Sometimes, people couldn’t remain in place forever, waiting. Once they were gone, no amount of regret would earn any sympathy.The two of them leaned into each other.There was a quiet hope on Judy’s face when she thought about the life ahead. At the very least, she knew she truly liked this man she chose.Kenneth treated her well, truly well. Compared to Joseph before, the difference was like night and day.One had only known how to take from her, while the other was full of plans for the future, and it was clear she was part of those plans.So how could a man like that not be worth following? Judy could tell the difference between a good and a bad man.And because she understood all of that so clearly, she chose Kenneth.…On the other side, Joseph didn’t have it so easy after he left.He had the unsettling feeling that he’d lost something deeply important.Once, everything seemed to revolve around him. But now, with a single decision, it felt as though something essential was slippi
“I thought you’d say yes. We were always meant to be together. Now that I’ve realized how important you are to me, how could I ever let you go?”“Judy, promise me you won’t leave me, okay? I really can’t bear to lose you.”When Kenneth said this, his eyes brimmed with tears.Judy noticed immediately. The sight of them, so clear and unguarded, made her heart jolt.Back when she was with Joseph, he had always seemed almost heartless.He had never cried in front of her and showed any excess emotion.But now, everything she had once longed for, Kenneth was giving her.More importantly, even though his family didn’t approve of her, Kenneth had never grown discouraged. He had kept trying, patiently working to change their minds.And now that they were finally about to get married, she was the one hesitating.The thought stung so sharply that Judy nearly raised a hand to slap herself.What exactly was she hesitating for?Such a good fate was right in front of her—so why wasn’t she cherishing
Earlier, Grace still felt a little puzzled, convinced that her two daughters were similar in both temperament and ability.Now it seemed to her that Aurora wanted to compete with Tessa.When Tessa noticed Grace deep in thought, she knew her mother had taken every word seriously.But Tessa was the on
He never expected that the woman he once called a lunatic would now turn around and help him. The world really worked in strange ways.“Why don’t we exchange contact info?”Joseph offered first.For now, it was the only way to keep her tied to this plan.If she made a promise and he agreed—then how
“Madam Grace, I understand why you’re doing this. You’ve carried the Walton family on your shoulders for so many years.”Arnold had always admired Grace deeply.After following her for so long, he knew exactly what kind of person she was.That was why he chose to stay by her side.Many people never
Hearing that, Lucas was genuinely stunned.He never imagined something this messy would play out right in front of him."So, what do you plan to do now?"Before Aurora could answer, Lucas continued, "That man is practically circling like a wolf. Harsh as it sounds, he’s already eyeing your family’s
