At Bennett Group, Asher had just finished a meeting when he felt slightly uneasy.

He took out his phone and called Elena.

“Have you finished work?”

“Yes.”

Elena nodded.

“What about you?”

“I just finished a meeting. I have another meeting with a client later.”

He felt relieved the moment he heard Elena’s voice.

Elena reminded him,

“Alright. Remember to drink less.”

“Yes. And you take care of yourself too. Call me if anything happens.”

They ended the call.

Elena put away her phone and looked up,

    Asher carried Elena into the apartment and placed her on the sofa before asking,“Where were you injured?”Elena pointed to her waist.“Here.”The wound was covered by her clothes, so Asher couldn’t see it.He was worried and wanted to examine the injury, but Elena refused.“It’s fine. I already had it treated at the hospital.”“All right, if you say so.”Asher didn’t insist, realizing that Elena felt embarrassed.Elena asked curiously,“How did you know I was injured?”Asher wouldn’t have investigated without a reason, would he?He placed a cup of warm water in front of Elena before answering,“You said you were going out to eat with Vivian, but you sent me the location of a hospital. Isn’t that strange?”Elena stared at him in disbelief.“Just because of that?”She couldn’t believe it. Just because she had sent Asher the location of a hospital, he had assumed that something had happened to her?Asher nodded.His instincts had always been sharp. The moment he saw the hospital locatio

    Elena felt helpless, but she didn’t say anything else.A few days of rest would do her good. Otherwise, it would be impossible for her to perform surgeries for a long time.As she was thinking, her phone suddenly rang. When she looked at the caller ID, she saw Asher’s name, and she instinctively frowned.“What is it?”Elena answered the phone directly, wondering why Asher had time to call her when he was supposed to be with his client.The first thought that crossed her mind was that something had happened.On the other end of the line, Asher felt relieved the moment he heard Elena’s voice and hurriedly asked,“Where are you?”Elena said,“I’m… having dinner with Vivian outside, and I’m getting ready to head home.”She had no intention of telling Asher about her injury. There was no need to worry him unnecessarily.Since her wound had already been bandaged, it wouldn’t be easy to notice once she put her clothes back on.Unable to stay home when he desperately wanted to see Elena, Ashe

    Elena said,“Yes, I’ve trained in martial arts.”Vivian praised her sincerely.“That’s impressive.”She had wanted to learn martial arts when she was younger, but her parents had refused, saying it was too dangerous and inappropriate for girls.As she watched Elena, Vivian realized how ridiculous those stereotypes were.Who said girls couldn’t defend themselves?On the contrary, girls looked even more impressive when they fought.Vivian approached Philip and looked at him with contempt.“What kind of person like you deserves to be a father? You’re nothing but a scumbag.”“Just wait. I’m calling the police right now and asking them to arrest you.”With that, she took out her phone and called the police.She knew that deliberately attacking someone would certainly land him in prison for several years.Elena stood beside her without stopping her.She had already given Philip a chance, but he hadn’t appreciated it. There was no longer any reason to let him off.The police answered the cal

    The two women ate in silence, and the atmosphere was anything but pleasant.Finally, they finished their meal and left the restaurant, looking out at the night around them.No matter how hard she tried, Vivian couldn’t lift her spirits.“Elena, do you have some free time? Could you take a walk with me?”She turned to Elena, hoping that having someone stay by her side would make her feel a little less lonely.Elena nodded.“Okay.”They walked along the riverbank as a gentle breeze stirred their hair.“What are your plans for the future?”Elena suddenly asked Vivian, trying to start a casual conversation.Vivian thought she was referring to marriage, so she forced a bitter smile and replied,“Well, I’ll just act as though he doesn’t exist and do whatever I want.”“I’m asking about your plans for medicine. Do you intend to continue your studies?”Elena clarified.Vivian was surprised. Then she laughed awkwardly before answering,“I was planning to pursue a postgraduate degree, but now…”

    Vivian was certainly upset by the situation, but what could she do?If she refused to marry William, the Parker family would face bankruptcy.Although she didn’t care about the family’s wealth, it was ultimately the result of her parents’ lifelong efforts.She couldn’t simply stand by and do nothing.She forced herself to laugh and said,“I don’t mind. I think it’ll be fine.”She had already made up her mind.At worst, she would simply live as though she were unmarried.After all, she didn’t want to see this man anyway. He could do whatever he wanted.“Alright, this is quite a surprise.”William laughed.From the way Vivian had behaved earlier, he had assumed she was above such matters.But in the end, he discovered that she couldn’t bear to watch the Parker family go bankrupt.Well, if the Parker family went bankrupt, Vivian would no longer belong to the upper class, and naturally, she didn’t want that.“Alright then. I’ll come another day to formally propose. Don’t worry, I’ll follo

    William’s words exploded in Vivian’s mind, and her face filled with shock and disbelief.“What did you say? The Parker family is in trouble? What do you mean? Explain it to me.”She had no idea about the state of the Parker family’s business. Her parents had never mentioned anything to her.She had assumed everything was going well.But when she saw the arrogant look on William’s face, Vivian felt that he probably wasn’t lying.No wonder her parents had been so eager to arrange this blind date for her.They wanted to find someone who could help the Parker family.At that moment, Vivian realized many things, but the more she thought about them, the more anxious she became.“Vivian, calm down.”Elena took her hand.“There’s no need to panic.”Elena’s calm voice reached her, and her composure seemed to spread to Vivian as well.“Okay.”The two women sat down again.When William saw that they no longer intended to leave, he sat down as well and slowly explained,“The Parker family is on t
