โCecil doesnโt have the kind of power and influence that can help you! He canโt go up against the Schmidts and the Lynches. If you got together with him, all youโre going to get from him is his love and nothing else. He canโt protect Ella! โThen, heโll find himself in deep sorrow. Heโll regret that he chose to study medicine instead of garnering more power and influence for himself!โโYou need to fight fire with fire, Zoe!โโฆZoe was trembling all over. She didnโt want to believe him, but she knew clearly that he didnโt have to lie to her. She was also afraid that something else might happen to Ella and she wouldnโt be able to forgive herself if it did. He could see what she was wrestling with and smiled lightly. He even leaned over and opened the car door for her and asked her politely, โAre you going to call a cab or should I give you a ride?โโIโll take the cab!โ She stumbled a little when she got out of the car. She was so exhausted.He didnโt offer her help. Sitting in

Zoe knew what Mason wanted to talk about in this phone call! She didnโt want to let Mia know about it, so she excused herself before she answered it outside.Even the tightly closed window couldnโt hold off the bitter coldness of the night. The chilling wind seeped in through the crack of the window at the end of the hallway and hit her squarely in the face.With that said, it was nothing compared to her conversation with Mason. Over the phone, his voice was soft yet heavy with intention. โYou should know what the Schmidtsโ next move is! Iโm the only one who can help you now, Zoe! Ella has to become one of the Lockwoods if you want Langston to back off!โNumb, Zoe asked, โCan you please help me?โAfter a brief moment of silence, his voice sounded significantly deeper than earlier when he said, โI told you. Iโm not a charitable man! I think you know that I wonโt intervene in Leslie and Ellaโs matters if youโre not in the picture.โOf course, she knew that. She had been married

All of a sudden, Masonโs words rang in her mind. He said Cecil would live in regret if she ended up being with him. Heโd regret the day he took up medicine instead of fighting for more power and influence.That wasnโt what she wanted!She didnโt want Cecil to change the way he lived his life because of her.It was exhausting trying to live your life for another personโs sake. She lived through that and she didnโt wish it on Cecil. A healthy relationship requires sacrifices from both of them, and not just one.The truth was, she had nothing she could give to him. All she would be was become his burden. Like what Mason said, sheโd make him regret his previous choices that led him to his current career path.About five minutes later, someone opened the ward door.She didnโt turn back. Instead, she continued to look out the window. A decision had been made. She wasnโt going to cushion the blow for Cedric, just like she wasnโt going to give herself a chance to regret her decision.Sh

Zoe stared at him for a long time. She didnโt turn around until her eyes hurt from the crying.The moment she turned around, she donned her identity as Masonโs wife. Walking into the resplendent lobby, she made her way to the elevator. She didnโt turn back and see what was behind her, afraid that sheโd regret her decision once she did.The reception hall was wide enough to seat a hundred guests. It was filled with people from high society. Leslie wasnโt here, but Langston and his parents were here to pay respect on his behalf. Nellie wasnโt happy about it, but she put a smile on her face and drank with everyone. At that moment, the door to the reception hall opened and they could the loud, crisp voice of a heel clicking on the floor.Everyone directed their gaze at the door. Wearing a dress fashioned after the revenge dress of Diana, the Princess of Wales, she took slow steps toward Langstonโs table and shoved any waiters who tried to stop her.A moment later, she was standin

Langston had no intention of offending Mason. The Schmidts and the Lynches could join forces and they still wouldnโt be a match for him. He was a prodigy in the business world and was known for being ruthless in Brookesville!He had no choice but to say to Zoe, โName your terms!โZoe was no fool herself. She knew this was the best she could get. All she could fight for Ella was some compensation!She said gently, โThere are two terms!โโFirstly, the Schmidts must assign a team of medical professionals to treat Ella and clear her name to the general public. Tell everyone that she was pregnant with Leslieโs baby and that she was no mistress. Instead, she had a legitimate relationship with him!โSecondly, I want you to financially compensate Ella again!โLeslieโs mother was not happy with this. โDidnโt she already get fifty million dollars? What more do you want?โZoe retorted, โIf you lost your baby and your hearing for good, and I offered you fifty million dollars as compensation

Lowering her gaze, she saw that she was in a compromising pose. Their bodies were tightly pressed against each other. Beneath her silk skirt, her legs were hanging by his sides. Masonโs deep-colored long pants cast a stark contrast against her fair skin. It was an erotic sight.Her eyelids fluttered. โIโm not in the mood.โ Then, she begged him a little, โHow about another day?โLeaning back on the seat lazily, he looked at her intently. She leaned backward a little as he touched her face and asked, โAre you scared?โBefore she could answer, he held the back of her neck and pushed her toward him. She thought he was going for a kiss, so she parted her lips and decided to let him do it.Little did she know heโd exert more pressure on his hand. She was perplexed and raised her eyes to look at him. His eyes were so deep and there was a hint of dominance in his eyes. Truth be told, he looked sexy when he was like this. She believed that if he asked for it, a lot of ladies would do anyt

Both of them were quiet when they were done having sex. Perhaps it was because they were no longer married or because it had been a long time since they last did it. Either way, they didnโt feel at ease with each other.Putting on her clothes, she said softly, โI feel a little sticky. I need to take a shower.โ That made things a little more awkward.Mason was so eager earlier that he forgot to wear a condom. Of course, it felt good, but it also meant she was going to need a longer time to clean it up. Coughing lightly, he said, โIโll wait for you outside.โ Then, he went out. The cleaner will clean up the bed and the place. He was a man, so he didnโt care about that. However, she couldnโt bear to leave it like that. She changed a new bedsheet and stuffed the previous one into a bag, labeling it so Ava would send it to the laundromat. After that, she hopped in the shower.The warm water cascading on her slender figure reminded her of the sex earlier. He was much gentler than he

Ella was still lying motionless on her bed when dawn came.Burying her face into Ellaโs hands, Zoe murmured, โWake up, Ella! No oneโs going to be mean to you ever again. You can live a good life. Thereโs no need to worry about people finding out about your past and looking down on you! You can even have your own babies if you want.โWake up, please? I beg you! Wake up and show me that my sacrifices are worth it!โWaiting endlessly without knowing if things would get better was a soul-crushing experience.It was morning when the doctor officially said the situation was looking bleak. If Ella didnโt wake up in the next four hours, then she might be in a persistent vegetative state and never wake up from it.She might never wake upโฆThe thought of it was too much. Zoe felt immense pain in her heart and she was having trouble breathing. Dashing to the restroom, she held the sink as she dry-heaved, spitting bile. Then, she slumped onto the restroom floor.Curling up, she covered her

The wedding banquet was still bustling with excitement.There was a special guest, who quietly arrived and hoped to leave just as quietly. He was afraid to disturb her mood and feared that if she saw him, she might not be pleased. However, despite his best efforts, they still crossed paths in the hallway.Gael stood quietly, watching Yanni. She had just taken Ella to the restroom, as she wasnโt comfortable leaving her alone. Besides Ella, there was another small girl with her, probably one of the twins she had with Keaton. The other twin was her brother.The twins were named Shay Bright and Drew Bright. Ella adored her younger siblings. Whenever she came home from school, she would always spend some time playing with them first. At night, she would sneak her little sister into her room and cuddle her to sleep, treating her like a little doll.At first, Yanni was quite worried, but she lat

In the early morning, the first rays of sunlight bathed the earth, signaling a joyous occasion at the Sanders family home. The youngest daughter of Noah and Gwynn was finally getting married. Even more delightful, she was marrying her childhood love. Dressed in a headpiece and red bridal gown, she was as beautiful as could be, the most stunning woman Zion had ever seen.The Quarto family was busy with preparations. Although they were not extremely wealthy, Jordyn was a capable family head with a good reputation. He handled both inside and outside affairs with finesse and charm. To everyoneโs surprise, he got along very well with Mason.However, Noah had some reservations. โDon't you have any relatives of your own, Mason?โMason didnโt engage with his criticism.

That night, Jamie and Paityn returned home with their daughter Carol. As soon as they arrived, Carol went to do her homework, while Paityn went to check on their youngest son, Colten Lockwood. The housekeeper was taking care of him and, upon hearing footsteps, turned her head and softly said, "Madam, you're back? He hasn't woken up at all, he's such a good boy."Paityn smiled lightly and signaled for the housekeeper to go downstairs and rest.When the door closed, she looked down at the sleeping Colten. The little one, only eight months old, resembled his father completely; almost like a miniature copy of Jamie. Even Carol, at times, would look at her brotherโs face and marvel: "Itโs really a masterpiece from God!"Jamie replied, "You even know what a masterpiece is?"Carol teased, "A husbandโs looks are the wifeโs glory!"Paityn quietly said to Jamie, โShe must have seen a supermodel runway show."Jamie immediately asked, "Did she like it?"Paityn didn't answer, just smiled.

On the second floor, Gwen was trying on her wedding dress for tomorrow. Just as Zion had wished, it was a traditional Zutriysteinian wedding.The red wedding gown was crafted by the top artisans from Zutriystein, elegant and dignified. The headpiece she wore was adorned with wild pearls; each gem was carefully embedded, and the headpiece alone cost tens of millions. A substantial amount of money had been spent.The woman in the mirror was stunningly beautiful. Gwen gently touched her headpiece and muttered to herself, "Zion really doesnโt mind spending money on this little hobby of his."Gwynn, as a mother, patted her head. "This little girl really doesnโt know when to keep quiet, but luckily, sheโs married well and is right here beside me..."She had given a generous wedding gift, exactly the same as when Holly got married. Like Holly, Gwen didnโt want any shares of the Sanders Group. The money that Zion earned was enough to support both of them and his small hobbies.Meanwhile

Ignacio said, "We canโt take care of both of you."Holly was at a loss for words.Lucius was at that lively age, but he was raised by his father and had good manners. When he saw Ocelotte, he respectfully greeted him, saying, "Second Uncle."Ocelotte patted his little head, thinking that the boy seemed sturdier than his own children, possibly because Molly was too fragile. He made a mental note to make sure Yeager got some extra nutrients when he went back.The black Rolls-Royce Phantom sped down the highway, getting them back to the Qiao family mansion before evening.The Sanders familyโs sons had all moved out, leaving only Gwen still living at home. Holly, who rarely came back, was also staying at the house. She didnโt refuse, planning to stay for a few days before heading to Silvercrest to visit her biological parents and pay respects.The car pulled into the Sanders Residence, and the house was lit up brightly.In the courtyard parking area, luxury cars were parked everywhe

In the evening, Gwen was preparing to leave work.In the parking lot, she spotted Zionโs car, but it was empty. Just then, a school leader passed by and said to her, โZion came to school. Thereโs a donation ceremony happening in the auditorium. You should go check it out. "Then, you two can head home together afterward. On a cold day like this, a nice dinner would be perfect. What a cozy idea!โGwen playfully replied, โYou really know how to enjoy life.โThe leader, holding a bag of groceries, laughed, โSee? Your teacherโs wife has been nagging me since morning to go home and cook while babysitting the grandkids.โGwen smiled softly, watching him leave.In the sky, clouds glowed orange and yellow, their edges tinged with gold.She carried a thermos as she walked toward the auditorium. Along the way, a few students noticed her and started chirping excitedly, cheekily calling her โMs. Gwen.โGwen corrected them, โItโs Ms. Gwen.โThe students laughed and teased, โMs. Gwen! Mr. Z

Gwen stared dazedly at the man.Zion, dressed in a black coat, stood tall in the study, exuding an oppressive aura. He walked toward her and pulled the teary-eyed girl, her face streaked like a little tabby cat, into his arms. One hand gently smoothed her hair as his voice softened to the extreme, "Still saying you didnโt cry."Gwen leaned against his shoulder, mumbling, "You did it on purpose.""Are you at least a little touched?"She pounded on him twice more in response.Zion chuckled lowly, letting the girl vent while his heart ached silently.These past five years had been filled with fear and uncertainty for him. He had been afraid that before he could make a name for himself, Gwen would fall for someone else. If that happened, what could he possibly use to ask her to come back to him?The love story of a poor boy and a rich girl might've existed in novels, but the reality was often harsh.Gwen didnโt care, but he couldnโt bear to let her endure hardship.Now, as they

Zion and Gwen's marriage seemed inevitable, with no one putting up any resistance. Occasionally, Gwen even had a strange illusion.It all went so smoothly that the years of separation seemed like they had never happened, as if she and Zion had always been together. After their reunion, he didnโt even ask her about her life abroad and treated her just as he did before.She was no longer as youthful and tender, but Zion still saw her as if she were a 20-year-old girl. Gwen felt a bit dejected, thinking to herself, he must just like girls around 18-year-old.But unfortunately, the spring river flows eastward and cannot return!Zion only smiled.In winter, the days grew shorter. After work, Gwen arrived at Zion's villa, but he had not yet come home. The two housekeepers had already started preparing dinner.When Gwen got out of the car, she received a call from Zion. Her voice was soft and tender.โWhen will you be back?โOn the other end, Zion checked the time and said, โIโll be

Zion noticed Gwen gazing at him with those wide, expectant eyes again. With a chuckle, he reached into the pocket of his trench coat, pulled out a sleek wallet, and carefully extracted a platinum card. He placed it in her outstretched hand and said with a smile, โThis is my secondary card. Thereโs no credit limit.โ Gwen gasped softly, then teased, โWow, arenโt you generous? Thank you, Teacher Qin.โ Zion gave her a light tap on the head. Not missing a beat, Gwen wrapped her arms around his neck and grinned mischievously, โThank you, my sugar daddy.โ Zionโs response was to pull her close, cupping her cheeks as he kissed her fiercely. Though he once carried himself as an educator and now as a refined businessman, he found himself utterly smitten by her playful antics. After the kiss, Zion leaned close to Gwen's ear and murmured something uncharacteristically crude that sent a shiver down her spine. He playfully nipped her nose. โTurns out youโve got a thing for bad boy
