The crystal chandeliers inside the most exclusive haute couture boutique in City-B reflected the splendor of the silver-embroidered evening gown draped elegantly over Elena's figure. Standing atop a circular platform before a floor-to-ceiling mirror, Elena allowed two fashion designers to smooth the satin folds around her waist. A few steps behind her, Aria stood quietly, holding her employer's fur coat while watching with a faint smile.

"The cut of this gown suits you perfectly, Madam," Aria s

    The clock had long passed eleven at night as the lively atmosphere in Aethel Corp's grand ballroom gradually began to fade. On the magnificent stage, little Leo was finally starting to show unmistakable signs of exhaustion. Although his tiny lips continued to wear a sweet smile as he greeted each guest who came forward to congratulate him, Elena could feel her son's grip growing weaker with every passing minute. Realizing that Leo would not be able to endure the celebration much longer, she decided it was time to remove him from the center of attention."Aria, take over the remaining interactions with our associates," Elena whispered firmly as she lifted Leo into her arms. The little boy rested his head against her shoulder, his eyes growing heavy with sleep. "I'm taking Leo to the private suite upstairs.""Yes, Madam. Leave the rest to me," Aria replied without hesitation.As Elena turned toward the private elevator, her path was almost intercepted by William, who was about to follow

    The grand hall of Aethel Corp was shrouded in a cold magnificence. That evening, hundreds of crystal chandeliers reflected their dazzling light off the silk gowns and tailored designer suits worn by the world's most influential business leaders. Massive LED screens lined the walls, showcasing Aethel Corp's latest product—a revolutionary herbal weight-loss line poised to shake the international market. In the farthest corner of the last row, two men dressed in jet-black suits stood quietly among the sea of distinguished guests.Charlie Vane drew a short, heavy breath, his hand gripping a glass of champagne he had no intention of drinking. He lowered his head, staring at his polished leather shoes before glancing around the hall. He looked impeccably dressed tonight, yet he knew this suit was no longer a bespoke haute couture masterpiece commissioned from his private tailor in Milan during his days as the chairman of Capital. A sudden wave of insecurity crept into his heart, suffocating

A few steps behind her, Aria stood quietly, holding her employer's fur coat while watching with a faint smile."The cut of this gown suits you perfectly, Madam," Aria said, attempting to break the silence after the designers stepped back to give them some privacy. "You seem to be in an exceptionally good mood today. It's quite different from your usual preparations before a product launch."Elena gazed at her reflection in the mirror, her fingertips brushing across the cool satin fabric. "It's Leo's fifth birthday, Aria. Of course I should be in a good mood." She glanced at Aria through the mirror. "I've also noticed that you've been smiling quite often whenev

    The night air in Geneva was freezing beyond the glass walls of Altair Logistics' temporary office. Spread across the desk, cluttered with stacks of market analyses, lay an international business newspaper from City-B. Its front page featured a photograph of Elena leaving L'Ambroisie alongside William Vanguard. The article beneath openly speculated about the growing closeness between the two business giants, even reporting that William had visited Leo's elite school several times in an effort to win the young boy's affection.The news spread rapidly, striking Charlie with unbearable pain.This heartbreak felt nothing like the one he had endured in the past. Back then, guilt had made him wish for death and surrender to his fate. Now, however, jealousy and the fear that another man might replace him as Leo's father ignited a fire deep within his soul. For the past three days, Charlie had barely stopped working, burying himself in financial reports and supply chain negotiations in a despe

    Morning at Elena's luxurious residence in City-B began with a quiet sense of activity. In the grand main foyer, Elena looked stunning in an ivory formal blazer suit. Her hair was neatly pinned into an elegant bun, radiating the poise of a powerful businesswoman while preserving her graceful charm. Kneeling in front of Leo, she gently adjusted the collar of her son's kindergarten uniform, her warmth toward him a striking contrast to the cold, commanding persona she displayed to the outside world.A soft knock sounded at the front door, and Aria stepped inside with her work tablet in hand. Her pace slowed for a brief moment as she took in the heartwarming scene between mother and son, but she quickly regained her professional composure and approached them."Madam," Aria greeted with a respectful bow before glancing at Leo with a gentle smile. "Young Master Leo's car is ready outside.""Mommy... I'm off to school now," Leo said in his adorably childish voice. He kissed Elena on the cheek

    The night in City-B was unnaturally quiet and cold behind the glass walls of Aethel Corp's headquarters. On the top floor of the towering skyscraper, Elena stood silently, gazing at the sea of city lights shimmering below like an ocean of artificial stars. Resting on her desk, the second-quarter financial report displayed extraordinary growth figures. Her cosmetics and herbal skincare empire had now officially become an unrivaled giant in the domestic market.She had everything. Power, wealth, and the absolute respect of the business world. Yet, in the silence of nights like this, the empty corner of her heart would often echo with fragments of the past. A pair of piercing hawk-like eyes belonging to Charlie Vane—the man she believed had long been buried beneath the cold soil of Europe—would occasionally appear in her mind without warning.Elena slowly turned around and walked toward the black leather sofa, where Aria was organizing several work files."Aria," Elena's voice broke the
