Anna, nestled in his arms, felt a chill run down her spine. She cautiously raised her head, only to meet the taut line of Lorenzo’s jaw.

No one had expected him to show up so suddenly, standing there, protective of Anna in a way no one had anticipated.

Cameron, though slightly unsettled, held his ground. After all, he was the elder. How could he

Overnight, she became the so-called shameless mistress, the “temptress” in everyone else’s eyes.Forrest knew he had wronged her. But he had never truly seen things from Laura’s perspective—not once had he felt the weight of how cruel others could be. Even a stranger like Valerie had treated her with such disdain and hostility.In New York, with the Nelsen family and their circle, all the onlookers and gossipers—how would they demean Laura? The pressure and humiliation she endured were beyond what Forrest could imagine. She had once been a privileged heiress, yet because

    Forrest opened his bleary eyes and saw Randall in a suit standing before him—not Laura.“Mr. Davidson… why is it you?”Randall’s temper was already fraying. He had no patience for small talk. “Where’s Laura?”Hearing her name, Forrest’s eyes reddened slightly, the alcohol still clouding his mind. “She… she’s gone.”“Gone?” Randall’s unease deepened.Forrest pushed himself off Randall, plopped down on the sofa, and grabbed a bottle of brandy. Noticing it was empty, he snatched anoth

    Anna believed his words. At first, she had found it odd—if Lucas was supposed to marry into the Whitmore family, he was too immature. The most suitable candidate would have been his uncle, who was practically invisible to the public. Otherwise, the Caldwell family wouldn’t have let Lucas take part in the marriage alliance.Anna was quietly relieved—it was lucky it was Lorenzo.“Lorenzo, I think I’m luckier than Laura and Xandra,” Anna murmured, leaning into his chest.Thinking back on everything, it felt like a dream. She had spent three years with Lucas without ever considering children. Then Lorenzo appeared like a miracle. She not only chose a sudden marriage,

    Forrest opened the envelope and pulled out the letter inside. His chest tightened painfully.Forrest,By the time you read this, I will have already left. I’m sorry for deceiving you, but I cannot accept your offer—being with you without any official status.Honestly, at first I didn’t like you. I even thought you were no different from the other playboys. When you saved me in the nightclub, I only saw you as a benefactor. But over the years, I’ve fallen for you, little by little.I know now that my position does not match yours. Every time you coaxed me to call you “husband,” I resisted because I knew

    Blessings or misfortune, some things can’t be avoided.By now, Lorenzo was the man Anna truly trusted. In any relationship, honesty was everything. She knew this, so she recounted everything—every detail of what had happened. She didn’t want any future misunderstandings, even describing seeing Harvey half-naked clearly.Talking about it made her a little uneasy, so she glanced at Lorenzo for reassurance. “I promise, I really hate Harvey. I barely even have time to avoid him. I definitely don’t want any connection with him.”Seeing her careful, honest demeanor, Lorenzo relaxed. He knew she wasn’t lying, and there was nothing to hide. He exhaled, lifting a han

    Anna was the smartest and most resourceful of the three. In both wealth and wit, she far outshone Valerie and Xandra. Valerie had overstepped this time, and Anna wasn’t about to let it slide.Tears shimmered in Xandra’s eyes. “Thank you, Anna.”Anna gave her a sympathetic glance. “Let’s get you to a hospital. How could one woman hit so hard?”“No, Anna. I’m leaving with Laura. You can protect me for a moment, but not forever. Staying will only make things harder for Uncle. I have to go.”“But…” Anna had a thousand words on her lips, none coming out. She underst

    Tonya praised from the side, “As expected of a top designer—simple styles, yet every pair exudes refinement. Madam, try them on.”Anna normally wore heels and hadn’t seen this many flats. She casually slipped on a few pairs. They were not only simple and elegant, but extremely comfortable. The soft

    Through his glasses, Lorenzo’s eyes darkened even more. “Anna, you really are a little devil.”Just a few words from her had stirred him completely, leaving his thoughts in chaos. He wanted nothing more than to hop on a private jet and be by her side, to pamper her properly.Anna smiled sweetly. “T

    Anna woke up groggy, her phone dead. She plugged it in and went to the bathroom to freshen up.Her head was spinning—was the alcohol hitting her harder than usual, or had it been a long time since she’d drunk?She hadn’t even finished brushing her teeth when nausea hit, forcing her to gag. Tears pr

    Lily had thought she finally caught Anna in a slip, only to realize it had boomeranged back on her.“How is that possible?”“Have you ever thought—if I were the real deal with him, why would he need a substitute?
