Colin immediately panicked when he heard Gwyneth's scream. "Gwen, what's wrong? Where are you?"Joseph's menacing voice came through the phone, loud and clear. He snarled, "Colin, you messed with my precious niece, and I'm not going to let it slide! You're so protective of this woman, right? Well, get ready to collect her body!""Don't you dare do anything reckless!" Colin's voice trembled in fear. Normally, he was always high and mighty, but anything involving Gwyneth sent him into a panic."If you don't want her dead, you'd better get over here right now!" Joseph spat out the threat and hung up abruptly.A text with an address followed immediately after. Joseph's glare turned icy as he stared at Gwyneth. He growled, "This is all because of you, you filthy homewrecker! You shameless slut! You ruined someone else's family!""I'm not a homewrecker! I was with Colin first!" Gwyneth shook her head desperately, refusing to accept the label. However, Joseph wasn't Colin. He didn't

Aspen's cold smile sent a wave of unease through Colin. He couldn't shake the feeling that something important was slipping through his fingers."Colin, she's serious this time. She signed the divorce papers," Gwyneth exclaimed excitedly, holding up the agreement as if it were a trophy, snapping Colin out of his thoughts.He blinked in surprise. He had thought it was another one of Aspen's tricks, but she really had signed it. He snatched the papers from Gwyneth's hand, only to feel an inexplicable sting at the sight of Aspen's bold signature glaring back at him.He was in disbelief at how easily Aspen had decided to let go."Colin, you really are the cruelest person in the world," Aspen muttered before turning to Joseph. "Transfer the ten million as soon as possible." Joseph sneered at the sight of Colin and Gwyneth embracing. The scene sickened him. With a cold snort, he stomped away, leaving them behind.This was exactly what Colin had wanted, but instead of relief, an odd em

The funeral home?Colin hung up the phone without a second thought the moment he heard those words. Scam calls had become so audacious—now they were even pretending to be from a funeral home? How unbelievable!Sophie was perfectly fine. Why would he need a funeral home? The phone rang again moments later."Mr. Fuller, we're from the funeral home. We need you to come down immediately to handle the child's death certificate and post-cremation paperwork."The caller wasted no words and hung up just as Colin was about to explode in anger. Every word in that call tested the last shred of Colin's patience. He had truly had enough!He thought Aspen was completely insane. In her desperate attempt to lure him in, there was nothing she wouldn't do.Was she truly even going so far as to claim their daughter was dead? What kind of mother would say something like that?"Colin."At that moment, a familiar voice reached his ears. He turned around to see Gwyneth there. Even though his eyes w

"Colin, you should still go check on Ms. Nicholls. Don't let things get out of hand." Gwyneth sighed while tugging at Colin's sleeve. Her expression was full of restrained sorrow.Colin couldn't stand seeing her upset. Her words only fueled his anger."If I go looking for her, I'll be falling right into her trap. I want to see how she plans to keep up this act without me!"He let out a cold scoff before pulling Gwyneth into his arms. "If only she were as understanding as you," he murmured.Despite his words, Gwyneth didn't feel particularly pleased. Still, she leaned against his chest, keeping up appearances."Don't be angry. At the end of the day, Ms. Nicholls just cares too much about being Mrs. Fuller. You should try to understand her a little."Her eyes misted over slightly, and she hesitated before adding, "But… you two are already divorced. How much longer is she going to keep making a scene?"The word "divorce" hit Colin like a dagger, and his expression darkened instantl

Sophie had been gone for days now, yet Aspen still couldn't accept the truth. She kept feeling as if Sophie was still there right beside her, almost as if she had never left.Aspen woke up in the morning to find her pillow soaked with tears once again. Her eyes were swollen as she climbed out of bed and reached for her phone.She had kept it turned off for the past few days; she was too heartbroken to deal with anything outside of her grief. The moment she powered it on, a message notification chimed—it was the funeral home, urging her to complete the remaining paperwork.Only then did she remember—although Sophie's ashes had already been laid to rest, there were still many formalities left to complete."Maybe this is for the best. Once everything is settled, I can finally leave this place." Aspen thought. "Sophie, Mommy misses you so much."Aspen clutched the pendant hanging from her neck, tears streaming down her face once again.She had tried—really tried—to keep herself fro

As for Colin, Aspen no longer wanted to think about him. She didn't need to—he didn't matter anymore.Aspen's eyes burned from shedding so many tears.Stepping out of the funeral home, she was met with the blinding sunlight. For the first time in a long while, she felt like she was still a living, breathing person.She tilted her head back to face the sun, staring at it until fresh tears slipped down her cheeks."Sophie, Mommy misses you so much. Sophie… my Sophie…"Clutching the pendant that held Sophie's ashes tightly against her chest, she collapsed onto the ground, sobbing uncontrollably.No matter how many times she told herself that Sophie would have wanted her to be happy, she couldn't bear it. She simply wasn't that strong.She cried until she was drained, barely managing to push herself up from the ground. She then dragged herself toward her childhood home, moving like a lifeless shell.The tiny, 650-square-foot apartment was the only thing her parents had left her bef

At this moment, Aspen felt utterly repulsed by the man standing outside. Even taking one more glance at Colin felt like an insult to Sophie.Seizing the moment while he remained silent, she swung open the door and stepped inside. To express the frustration burning inside her, she even slammed the door shut with force.As soon as she turned around, her eyes landed on a black-and-white photograph resting on the coffee table.In the photograph, Sophie was smiling brightly, her eyes curved in joy.It had been taken on Children's Day, back when Sophie had performed at her preschool and won an award. She had been very happy that day, so her smile had been more radiant than ever.Aspen had deliberately chosen this photo—she wanted to remember Sophie just like this, forever joyful and full of life."Sophie…" Aspen slid down against the door, covering her mouth with both hands as tears streamed down her face.Colin's voice came through the door. "Aspen, I don't care what kind of tricks y

"What did you just say?"Colin's expression darkened. He hadn't seen Sophie for days. The last time he had gone to look for Aspen, Sophie had been nowhere to be found either.Thinking back to that call from the funeral home, an unexplainable sense of unease crept into his chest. He knew this was one of Aspen's tricks, yet he still felt a flicker of panic."Colin, don't worry too much. Ms. Nicholls is just acting out in anger. She wouldn't actually hurt Sophie."It's just… where would she take her? Does she have any other family members?" Gwyneth stepped forward, gently patting his chest as she spoke in a soft, soothing voice.Family members?Colin's thoughts immediately turned to Joseph—and that canceled check.That man was a gambling addict who would do anything for money. If Sophie was truly in his hands, then she was in danger."To the airport. Now." Colin shoved Gwyneth aside and strode toward the door.No matter what, Sophie was a Fuller and his daughter. He would never a

Eric was baffled by Aren's response. Was this really the time to be worrying about whether he could get married? No matter how important getting married was, it couldn't possibly top what they were dealing with now.Seeing how defeated he looked, Aren couldn't help but grin smugly. Then, he said, "Don't worry, I've got this under control. I already passed the issue to Aspen—if all goes well, I should be getting good news tonight when I drop off her dinner."Eric felt like he was about to explode. He stared at Aren in disbelief and snapped, "Mr. Jefferson, do you even know what you're doing? We're direct competitors with Fuller Group! What you're doing now is a breach of confidentiality! You realize I could have you arrested for this?"Aren laughed out loud at his outrage. With a completely relaxed tone, he replied, "Calm down. She would never betray me. Sure, we're rivals with Fuller Group, but Aspen isn't Fuller Group—she's our partner. That's a pretty clear distinction, don't you

"Gwyneth called me a lapdog, and Colin just let it happen, even threatening me!" Riley's voice trembled with barely contained outrage.He graduated from a well-known college and had devoted years to Colin, only to be humiliated without recourse. What kind of twisted corporate hell was this? Employees had their limits too."Huh?" Aspen was taken aback when she heard Riley's reply. Of all the reasons she had imagined for his defection, this wasn't it.Colin had truly lost it for Gwyneth. The man's logic circuits were obviously fried since he had actually let Gwyneth verbally assault his most loyal aide.Aspen thought he was definitely out of his mind. She said, "Don't worry. I'll make sure you get your justice. But first, I need Fuller Group's core data for the past five years. Can you access it?" Now that they were officially allies, Aspen saw no need for formalities.Riley nodded immediately. "I can get it. I'll need some time, but you can expect it by tomorrow night." He stoo

Gwyneth was no fool and immediately recognized Riley's thinly veiled contempt. She shot to her feet, teeth clenched. "You're nothing but Colin's lapdog! How dare you give me an attitude? Do you even want to keep your job?"Riley replied flatly, "My apologies, Ms. Sander, but I'm Mr. Fuller's assistant, not his pet. If you're fond of dogs, I'm sure he'd be happy to buy you one."Gwyneth's eyes widened, shocked that he was actually speaking to her in that tone. She lunged forward, hand raised to strike. However, Riley was no delicate flower and caught Gwyneth's wrist mid-swing. He said, "Control yourself, Ms. Sanders."Colin arrived just in time to see the confrontation. He strode forward, intercepting Riley with a glare. "What the hell is going on?""Ms. Sanders attempted to assault me," Riley stated matter-of-factly, releasing Gwyneth's wrist. "I merely defended myself. No aggression intended."Gwyneth seized the moment, throwing herself against Colin with theatrical sobs. "I di

"Move aside!" Colin roared, his face twisted in fury.Maria was unfamiliar with Colin or his status, and she stood her ground. "Sir, I must protect my patient. Leave now, or I'll call security.""Maria, it's fine. He's my husband," Aspen said, her voice dripping with sarcasm at the word "husband". Maria stared in disbelief. She had been caring for Aspen for weeks, and Aren was the only visitor she had ever seen. She couldn't believe this snarling stranger was Aspen's husband.She eyed Colin suspiciously and asked, "Ms. Nicholls, are you sure you don't want me to call the police?""No need. Thank you." Aspen smiled and gave Maria's hand a reassuring squeeze.Maria glared at Colin and scoffed, warning him, "I'll be right outside that door. Lay one finger on her, and I'm dialing 911 myself. He's got a fancy suit but can't keep his hands to himself… How disgraceful."Then, she shoved past him and headed outside.Watching Colin's thunderous expression, Aspen almost laughed. She dou

"Aspen said Zac did it. What does that have to do with you? Your brother's always been reckless and undisciplined—him doing something outrageous isn't exactly a stretch," Colin said calmly, trying to stay rational.But Gwyneth, sitting beside him, already understood something crystal clear—her place in Colin's heart wasn't what it used to be.Before this, Colin had never approached her issues with reason. He had always been impulsive, acting purely on emotion. And now? He could actually stay level-headed when it came to her. That only meant one thing—he didn't care anymore."Colin… do you not love me anymore?" Gwyneth's voice trembled with hurt, and tears began to stream down her face.She cried, "I know I've been a mess lately, and I'm sorry. But I can't help it. I love you too much—I can't live without you. I can't lose you!"As she spoke, she curled up in the passenger seat, trembling all over.Seeing her like that, Colin's heart softened, and his tone eased. "I'm not blaming

Right after stepping out, Colin grabbed Gwyneth by the arm and dragged her straight to his car. He frowned at her and said coldly, "Call Zac."Gwyneth stared at him in disbelief. "Colin, do you really believe what Ms. Nicholls said? You actually think Zac did it?""Call him!" Colin didn't bother responding to her questions. This time, it wasn't a suggestion—it was an order.Gwyneth didn't dare argue. Her eyes welled up with frustration as she pulled out her phone and started dialing Zac's number....At that moment, Zac was hanging from the ceiling, being whipped mercilessly. He howled in pain, sounding like a pig being slaughtered, thrashing around helplessly. When his phone suddenly started ringing, it felt like the light at the end of the tunnel."Sir, please—I've got money! Just let me answer the call, I'm begging you!" Zac pleaded over and over. He couldn't take it anymore.Kian shook out his sore hand with a grimace of disgust. "You're a grown man, yet all you do is bully

"Aspen, I don't have the energy for this anymore. Just tell me what you want." Colin rubbed his temples, exhaustion etched into every word. Between the company's critical restructuring and this domestic chaos, he was under siege from all sides.Seeing how weary he was, Aspen let out a humorless laugh. She lowered her head and said, "Colin, I want a divorce. A fair one. I want everything I'm entitled to." Colin was shocked. Of all the things she could have asked for—even having another child—he hadn't anticipated that all she wanted was to carve out his assets and walk away.In an instant, his composure shattered. He lunged forward, his hand closing around her throat. "You're desperate to leave and bleed me dry just to fund that Jefferson brat? You whore! How long has this been going on?"Aspen didn't even flinch. Up close, his rage was almost pitiable. She said disdainfully, "The only cheater here is you, and you dare play the victim?" "Aspen, don't push me past my limits." Col

Aspen kept her eyes downcast, the picture of wounded vulnerability. It was enough to soften Colin's expression.Gwyneth hadn't anticipated Aspen mastering the art of playing the victim. Watching Colin's demeanor shift, alarm bells rang in her head. "Colin, Zac would never do such a thing! Ms. Nicholls is slandering him!" "Yes, yes, it's all my fault. You're absolutely right." Aspen nodded eagerly, like a chastised child agreeing to whatever would end the conversation.Gwyneth's temper flared. She stepped forward, teeth clenched. "Aspen, I know you've always resented me because of Colin. But if you hate me, take it out on me. Why target Zac? What has he ever done to you? This isn't fair!""How exactly have I 'targeted' him? Did I hit him? Insult him?" Aspen blinked, all wide-eyed innocence. She gestured to her bandaged ribs, then leveled her gaze at Colin. "And you're just going to stand there while someone screams at your wife? What kind of husband does that?"If he wanted to

Colin scoffed, brandishing his status like a weapon. Regardless of the circumstances, he undoubtedly had a greater right to rage than the man before him.Watching his theatrics, Aren suddenly realized any further words would be wasted. He smirked and said, "It's great that you finally know who you are. Just don't cling to what you don't appreciate.""Hey! Aren, you're a homewrecker. Do you think your family will tolerate your actions if they find out that you're involved with another man's wife?" Colin's face darkened, the threat dripping from every word."The CEO of Fuller Group, reduced to tattling to Mommy and Daddy? How pathetic," Aren retorted. Then, he glanced at Aspen and left. Aspen sat silently, forcing steady breaths through the pain. When she finally looked up, she met Colin's furious gaze.He hissed, "How many times must I say it? You're my wife—Mrs. Fuller. Stop embarrassing me with your shameless behavior! What exactly is going on between you and Aren?" His molars
