Penulis: Maureen Green
After Gwyneth ended the call, all traces of the gentleness on her face vanished, replaced by viciousness.

Looking at the phone in her hand, she muttered, "Old woman, just you wait. After I'm done with your son, you're next!"

Meanwhile, Colin sat in his office with furrowed brows.

Just then, his phone screen lit up with a notification of an entertainment news story. "Aren Jefferson and Aspen Nicholls' relationship revealed—sweet vacation together suggests marriage may be on the horizon."

Looking at the intimate photos of Aspen and Aren in the news, Colin felt an inexplicable irritation rising within him.

He picked up his phone and dialed Aspen's number but was met with a cold, mechanical voice. "Sorry, the number you have dialed is temporarily unavailable..."

Colin tossed his phone aside in frustration. He felt a tightness in his chest, as if something was burning inside him.

Meanwhile, Ellie lay in bed in the hospital, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. Images of Aspen and

They're at the end of their rope now."Aspen sat in her office, looking at the report in her hand with a confident smile.Chester sat across from her, twirling a pen as he asked, "Aspen, what do you plan to do?" "I want Colin to know what it's like to despair," Aspen said coldly. A gleam of frost crossed her eyes."It seems you're really serious this time." Chester smiled. "I'll be watching with interest."At a charity gala, Aspen encountered Colin again.She wore an elegant red evening gown, looking graceful and noble, in stark contrast to Colin, who, while dressed in a suit, looked utterly exhausted. "Mr. Fuller, it's been a while." Aspen approached him first, wearing a faint smile as she spoke calmly.Colin looked at Aspen's confident smile, feeling a touch of displeasure. He said coldly, "Ms. Nicholls, you seem to be doing quite well lately.""Thanks to Mr. Fuller, I am indeed doing well."

    When Aspen returned home, Aren had prepared a sumptuous dinner for her. They discussed their next steps in the cozy atmosphere.Fuller Group's bank loan application was ruthlessly rejected because its financial situation was worrisome, and the risk was too high.In Colin's study, Colin tossed the documents onto the desk in frustration, making a dull thud. He rubbed his temples, trying to relieve days of fatigue, only to find it was all in vain.Gwyneth entered carrying a cup of hot milk. She wore a light pink robe and appeared gentle and homey."Colin, don't overwork yourself. Have some milk and rest." Her voice was soft, laced with a hint of concern.Colin took the milk and had a sip. The warmth seemed to ease his irritation slightly."Gwyneth, the company is in a terrible state. I don't know what to do anymore." He sighed, his tone full of helplessness.Gwyneth moved behind Colin and gently massaged his shoulders, her movements gentle and considerate. Her tone full of trust an

    Zac was trying to take advantage of the crisis, but Colin had to consider his proposal for the company's sake."I'll think about it," Colin said coldly, his tone carrying a hint of impatience.Seeing this, Zac's face revealed a smug smile. Colin was cornered—sooner or later, he would accept his terms.Meanwhile, Aspen began secretly investigating Fuller Group's financial situation, discovering some suspicious aspects.Fuller Group's cash flow was far from normal, and many projects appeared to have inflated profits. The crisis at Fuller Group was far more serious than it appeared on the surface."Aren, I found some interesting things." Aspen sent the investigation results to Aren."I've also collected some internal information about Fuller Group. Their situation is indeed not optimistic," Aren replied."Yes, it's time." A cold gleam flashed in Aspen's eyes. She would absolutely not let the Fullers off the hook...In the hospital, Gwyneth continued to play the role of the dutif

    After seeking medical treatment for some time, Colin finally regained the approval of Fuller Group's board members.

Colin's brow was furrowed, his eyes filled with fatigue.He rubbed his aching temples, trying to clear his mind, but the company's recent situation made it impossible to relax.Ellie's sudden illness, combined with a series of previous decision-making errors on Colin's part, had placed the company in an unprecedented crisis."Colin, have some coffee," Gwyneth said, entering with a steaming cup.

    "Doctor, how's my mother?" Colin rushed forward to ask."The surgery was successful. The patient is out of danger," the doctor said. "However, given the patient's age and weak condition, she'll need to remain hospitalized for observation for some time."Hearing the doctor's words, Colin's tense heart finally relaxed. He exhaled deeply, feeling completely drained."Thank you, doctor. Thank you to your whole team," Colin said gratefully."It's our duty," the doctor replied. "Family members can see the patient now, but please don't disturb her rest."Colin nodded and entered the hospital room. Ellie lay quietly in bed; her face was pale, and her head was wrapped in thick bandages.Seeing his mother's frail state, Colin felt full of guilt and self-reproach."Mom, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have upset you," Colin said softly, holding Ellie's hand. "You must get better soon. I won't upset you again."Ellie seemed to hear Colin's words, as a tear slid from the corner of

    Seeing Gwyneth's gentle manner, Colin felt his fatigue instantly vanish. He gently pulled Gwyneth into his arms and said, "I'm not tired. With you here, I'm never tired."After a tender moment together, Colin suddenly heard knocks at the door."Who is it?" Colin asked."Colin, it's me." Ellie's voice came from outside. "Open the door. I need to talk to you."Colin frowned and opened the door. As soon as Ellie entered, she saw Colin and Gwyneth's intimate posture, and her anger flared up again.Unable to catch her breath, Ellie suddenly felt chest pain and difficulty breathing, then fainted.Ellie was hospitalized again.

    Gwyneth was preparing dinner in the kitchen. Her hands faltered, and her expression darkened when she heard Ellie's words.Nonetheless, she held back her anger and didn't respond."Gwyneth, I'm just being honest—you need some self-awareness," Ellie continued. "Look at yourself. You've no figure and no skills. How can you possibly compare to Aspen? Colin must have been blind to fall for someone like you."Gwyneth couldn't take it anymore. She put down the knife, rushed to the living room, and shouted at Ellie, "Enough! Can't you stop? I'm not Aspen, and I don't want to compete with her! I am who I am. I just want a good life with Colin. Is that so wrong?"Ellie was startled by Gwyneth's sudden outburst, but she quickly recovered, becoming even angrier. "What? You don't like me saying the truth? Who do you think you are? You're nothing but a homewrecker! So shameless!""I'm not a homewrecker! Colin chose me himself. How is that my fault?" Gwyneth said emotionally. "If you keep t

    "Madam Ellie, Colin and I are over. There's no possibility between us anymore," Aspen said coldly. "Please don't come looking for me again.""Aspen, how can you be so heartless?" Ellie said in anguish. "Do you really want to watch the Fuller family fall apart?""Fall apart?" Aspen laughed coldly. "That's Colin's own choice. It has nothing to do with me."With that, Aspen turned and left, leaving Ellie standing there alone with tears streaming down her face."Ms. Nicholls, are you alright?" Alexa asked with concern."I'm fine," Aspen said. "Let's go.""Ms. Nicholls, who was that lady?" Alexa asked curiously. "She seems to be Mr. Fuller's mother."Aspen nodded without saying more.Seeing this, Alexa didn't ask further and just silently followed behind Aspen. Ellie began seeking Aspen out frequently after that meeting.Ellie's repeated "disturbances" became extremely annoying to Aspen, so she instructed Alexa to blacklist Ellie.
