What happened abroad was completely unknown to Nancy, who was living in the present moment in the country.
Since arriving in Elaris and meeting so many good friends, Nancy had long since stopped thinking about those days abroad. It was only during the quiet of the night, when everything was still, that old faces would sometimes appear in her dreams.
And then, she would wake up and stand alone on the balcony, gazing into the distance.
Benny's birthday was just around the corner, and everyone in Elaris's elite circles knew that the head of the Dawson family from Nevaris, along with his brother, had arrived.
The news about Benny's birthday somehow spread throughout the upper circles of Elaris. It was said that Benny intended to use his birthday party as an opportunity to find a suitable lady for him.
This meant a marriage alliance. Once this news spread, Elaris's high society was in an uproar, and even some actresses in the entertainment industry star
Atlas’s voice was low and hoarse as he locked his gaze on the sight before him. “Naomi, those pajamas look really beautiful on you.”Even someone as slow as him could now piece together why Naomi had been acting so strange earlier. Thinking back to the call from Darren, everything clicked.Atlas didn’t usually consider himself petty—but who could resist free meat when it was practically handed to them on a silver platter?Under Naomi’s startled gaze, the blanket vanished in an instant.“Ah!”Seeing the full picture, Atlas couldn’t hold back any longer.Without warning, he spun her around in a smooth 360-degree turn. In a flash, Naomi found herself pinned beneath him. The mischievous sparkle in his eyes told her one thing: peaceful sleep was not on the agenda tonight.Just as she’d expected, she didn’t get a wink of rest. Even when morning light finally crept in, she cou
After replying to the messages in the group, Naomi thought for a long time before going to the wardrobe and taking out a newly bought pajama. She felt her heart race as she nervously entered the bathroom.When Atlas arrived in the bedroom, he didn’t see his wife. Hearing the sounds from the bathroom, he immediately understood.He was about to go to the guest room for a shower when he suddenly heard Naomi's phone ring. Looking at the caller ID, it was Darren.Atlas answered the call.“Boss, about Second Young Master Dawson’s birthday party—do you want me to handle your outfit, or will you pick it yourself? Nancy and Miley already chose the one you liked. If the three of you show up together, it’ll definitely steal the spotlight.”Atlas raised an eyebrow. “That’s for me?”There was a brief hesitation before Darren carefully responded, "Mr. Knox, you..."Before he could finish, Atlas interrupted, "
Danna’s expression shifted sharply. “Keep your voice down!”If anyone overheard this, she’d be in serious trouble.Joanne quickly shut her mouth, though inwardly, she scoffed at Danna. Women like her—greedy, playing both sides—were bound to get burned eventually. She just hoped it wouldn’t happen too soon, not while they were still in the same boat.Danna’s gaze turned distant as her thoughts drifted to Franco. He was the one who had gone shopping with her that day when they ran into Naomi. His family didn’t belong to the country’s elite, but rather a modestly powerful clan overseas. While he had some clout, it couldn’t compare to the Major Families here in Elaris.That was exactly why Danna dared to act so boldly.“We don’t need to interfere or assign someone to monitor it,” she said calmly. “Let it unfold naturally. That’ll make it look more authentic.
Bertrand’s face went stiff, his eyes flicking quickly to the girl in the photo.She was avoiding him—no doubt about it.“Maybe she’s out with Naomi and the others,” He said casually. “Make sure to remind her to come by.”Benny didn’t catch the tension in his brother’s voice and nodded before heading out of the study. Once he was alone, he pulled out his phone, Miley suddenly on his mind.At that very moment, Miley had just opened her shopping app, planning to buy a birthday gift for Benny. Before she could tap on anything, her phone lit up with a call.She sighed. “Guess I really can’t get this done in peace…”“Hello?”“Miley, where’ve you been lately? Don’t get too caught up having fun. You do remember what’s happening the day after tomorrow, right?”Miley pouted at the familiar nagging tone, but she

In the U.S, Assistant Levi stood bitterly by the door, his hand raised repeatedly, only to lower it again, finally not daring to knock.Ever since the president came back and was told Miss Moretti had disappeared, the president had locked himself in this room for three days and nights.If you ask him, he’d say that right now, it's uncertain whether she’s dead or alive. Miss Moretti could have been saved by someone, but that room was burned to the ground. Even though there were no casualties and the protective vehicles had arrived early, no one knew where Miss Moretti had gone.This was all just a curse.Behind the door, even though it was daytime, the curtains were drawn, and the room was pitch dark, but from the strong smell of alcohol, you could tell what was going on inside.In the dim light coming through the only crack in the curtain, you could vaguely see many bottles of alcohol scattered on the floor, carelessly discarded by their owner.
