However, Cordelia said, "I can't tell."Perhaps she had met Julianne too few times, so she didn't see the resemblance."You don't think she's Julianne, do you? Do you still think Julianne faked her death and is still alive?" she asked.I was about to say that was exactly what I thought, but Cordelia spoke again."But I heard the housekeeper has been working at this hotel for over a year when I asked around earlier. Hasn't Julianne been dead for less than half a month?" she asked.I didn't know what to say because she had a point.Then, Cordelia added, "Besides, she wouldn't dare show up in such a place if she did fake her death, would she?"As a fugitive who had faked her death, Julianne should be hiding in some dark corner because she was too afraid to appear in broad daylight. She surely shouldn't be in a place like this."You have a point…" I was going to say more when my phone rang.It was Grandma. She told me she had a bad case of food poisoning and was having diarrhea

I wanted to see if the housekeeper had recently returned to the country and whether she had any interactions with Julianne.After I hung up the call with the private investigator, Cordelia looked at me. "Are you suspecting that the one who died wasn't actually Julianne but the real housekeeper, and that the current housekeeper is actually Julianne pretending to be her?"I nodded.I did have my suspicions because the silhouette of the woman I saw this afternoon really did feel like Julianne's.Cordelia fell silent, lost in thoughts.She found it hard to believe, but considering how many times Julianne had schemed against me, it wasn't entirely impossible.Especially since Julianne had always been abroad and had even studied at an art school in Felys.…The private investigator I hired was highly capable. He was the same one who had previously found out that Julianne had been legally married to Irvin's father.But this time, no matter how hard he searched, he couldn't find any e

Although the weather was getting warmer, it was still just the beginning of spring. Yet, Noah would eat shirtless. For a moment, I didn't know whether to focus on my meal or his sculpted abs. When I had only looked at his face before, I only thought he had changed a lot and got so good-looking, completely different from before. But now that I saw his beautiful abs and toned muscles, I realized he had grown up.He was a full-grown man now.But still…"Aren't you cold?" I asked, looking at Noah, who was serving food without a shirt.I knew young men could be more resistant to the cold, but while I was still wearing a thin sweater, he had already stripped down to only wearing pants. That was a little crazy.Noah was silent."Put something on. You'll catch a cold," I said as I passed him a shirt.His grip on the spoon tightened slightly, and there was a flicker of complex emotion in his eyes. "Thanks, Lily."I was about to shrug it off, but then I suddenly realized something. "

I wasn't interested in an auction and was just about to turn him down, but I noticed the auction catalog in his hand.I narrowed my eyes when I spotted something inside. I examined it carefully, and after confirming that it was what I had been searching for, I got up to change my clothes.Noah was happy that I had agreed to go and went to change as well.Perhaps grown men were more conscious of their appearance, because by the time I was already dressed and ready, he still wasn't done.Just as I pulled out my phone and was about to play a game to clear my mind, Noah walked out.As he had put in the effort to dress up, he looked even more strikingly handsome than usual. I couldn't stop looking at him.Although he wasn't my brother, having such a handsome friend made me feel a little proud. Still, I could tell he was trying very hard to appear more mature.He was still a student, yet he was dressed in a suit, and his hair was slicked back, looking like a young CEO.…By the time

I was momentarily stunned. The woman who had placed the bid caught me looking at her. She flashed a smile and provocatively raised the bidding paddle in her hand.That familiar eyes and provocation made me tighten my grip on my own bidding paddle.It was Julianne.She wasn't dead. She was alive.Although that face wasn't exactly Julianne's, it more closely resembled the housekeeper, Julianne's cousin.However, her gaze and expression told me. It was Julianne.Seeing that face out of the blue left me so dazed that I didn't even notice the auctioneer calling out "ten million" for the third time.By the time I snapped out of it, the emerald pendants had already been sold for ten million dollars.I lifted my gaze, looking at her coldly.She wasn't afraid when our eyes met. Instead, she held onto the arm of the man beside her, looking extremely provocative.Only then did I recognize that handsome man. He was the one who had been picked up from the island by nearly a dozen helico

Her gaze and provocation felt like Julianne. However, her voice, directness, and innocence didn't seem like Julianne's.Julianne had always pretended to be delicate and innocent. Whenever she encountered a situation like this, she would whine and claim she was being slandered, unlike now.Was she putting on a new persona? Noah said coldly, "I'm talking about you, Julianne Sinclair! You want to charge me with slander, but do you even dare to call the police?""Julianne? You think I'm Julianne? You've got the wrong person, sir. I'm not my cousin. My name is Lumi Calder, Julianne's cousin," she said.Her words felt a little redundant, but she looked adorable. Even the powerful man beside her couldn't help but chuckle and ruffle her head.Encouraged by his affection, the woman who claimed to be Lumi grew even bolder. "And Julianne isn't a fugitive! She was framed by this wicked woman!"She pointed at me as she said that, her gaze filled with hatred, as if she wanted me dead."You'

"That's not important, and you don't need to know. All you need to know is that I'm keeping her for a reason," his uncle said.Noah frowned, about to say something.But the man's gaze darkened slightly as he continued, "I heard from Edric that you didn't even wait for your grandfather to be discharged from the hospital before rushing back to take care of her."Noah lowered his gaze and remained silent."Noah, I won't object if you want to relive your childhood warmth and fulfill your dream of dating someone you had feelings for. But you should know what your future holds. Don't take this too lightly."Noah's hands clenched tightly into fists at his sides."And you're not a child anymore. When I was your age, I was already carrying the weight of our entire family on my shoulders. Yet, you're still so reckless. "Today, you were affected by the sudden appearance of an insignificant woman. How do you expect to succeed like this? And the worse thing is you don't even realize that yo

After the so-called Lumi came back to her senses, she said, "You evil woman—"But I interrupted with a sneer, "Julianne, how could you wear the face of someone you killed and use it to seek justice for yourself. Aren't you afraid she'll come back to haunt you?"Although I didn't know how Julianne had made it happen, if she was still alive, then that burned corpse had to be her cousin, the real Lumi.She killed her and stole her face and identity.Now, she was even trying to avenge herself using Lumi's identity. If ghosts really existed, Lumi would probably turn into the most vengeful spirit in the world just to haunt her.But she was Julianne, after all, a woman who had the guts to commit murder multiple times and eventually succeeded. She had a terrifyingly tough mentality.Even after hearing what I said, her expression remained completely unchanged. She simply said, "Emilia, you're truly evil! How could you slander my cousin like this after killing her? I was really close with

The flight attendant knocked on the entrance to the suite to signal her arrival and served our meal. Then, she left swiftly.William and I were eating and discussing our AI chip factory when his face suddenly turned red. He couldn't say a word.The moment I saw that, I immediately realized what was happening and rushed over to him.I moved behind him, wrapped my arms around his abdomen, and clenched my fists. With my palm facing upward, I tightened my arms and pressed my left fist forcefully into his upper abdomen again and again, until he finally spat out the seed of a fruit.He had accidentally swallowed the seed while eating dried fruit, and it had gotten stuck in his throat.William stared at the seed he'd just coughed up, looking flustered. A man like him, who was so strong and composed, had choked while eating. He couldn't believe it had actually happened.Especially in front of me!William, who was usually composed no matter the circumstances, now had a face flushed wit

William handed me a glass of champagne and said, "I heard Grace gave you a hard time again at the airport lounge."I hummed in response, confirming it. At the mention of Grace, a thought struck me, and I turned to him. "Mr. Ashford, many of your company's products seem to compete directly with the Hardwells'."Although most of my focus had been on research, I did know a little about the business world. After all, I had a company myself. "Yes, why?" William raised an eyebrow at me."If you're planning to enter the mainland market, wouldn't the Hardwells be your biggest competitor?" I asked.Upon hearing that, William's dark eyes lit up with interest. "Are you trying to join forces with me against the Hardwells?"I knew that I couldn't hide my intentions from someone like William, so I answered honestly, "I'm just thinking ahead. I wanted to see if you had similar plans. If so, maybe we could work together in the future."Going against the Hardwells alone was definitely impossi

At the same time, the same video was also delivered to Noah's grandfather, Mr. Hull Senior."This is the woman Noah's interested in? He refused a marriage alliance with Ms. Charter because of her?" Mr. Hull Senior questioned incredulously.His butler, who had been by his side for decades, lowered his head respectfully and answered, "Yes."Mr. Hull Senior scoffed. "What kind of judgment does he have? It's no wonder he doesn't measure up to his uncle."Noah might be excellent, but at his age, William had already built up the Ashfords into the wealthiest family in Redwood. In terms of cunning or any other aspect, he was still far behind William.The loyal butler remained silent as he respectfully stood off to the side."If anyone else was still left in this family, I'd never even consider passing it to Noah!" Mr. Hull Senior exclaimed, pounding his cane hard against the floor.The Hulls had built their fortune from casinos. Their business had shady beginnings, which meant they also

Lowering her head, Grace forcibly suppressed the murderous impulse rising in her chest. When she lifted it back up, her gaze was utterly apologetic."I'm truly sorry, Ms. Quill. My friend really did misunderstand you. Tim actually dropped me off earlier—that was why he was here," she said.Then, she turned to Lisa and said, "There's really nothing going on between Ms. Quill and Tim, Lisa. Tim was just dropping me off earlier. "When I went to the restroom, he happened to run into Ms. Quill. And because she was his brother's ex-wife, they exchanged greetings. That's all it was, so you jumped to the wrong conclusion."Plus, Ms. Quill is the one who cured Tim's legs, so we Hardwells owe her a great debt. She's definitely not a homewrecker! So, if you ever call her that again or anything of the sort, our friendship will be over!"Catching the message in Grace's gaze, Lisa immediately put on a sincere expression and apologized to me. "I'm so sorry, Ms. Quill, for completely misundersta

"Well? Say something!" the woman yelled. "If he wasn't Timothy, and you're not a homewrecker, then who was he? Can't say it, can you? Since you can't, it just proves you're a homewrecker!"You're just a social-climbing snake! You saw that the Hardwells were wealthier, so you used your dead ex-husband's likeness with Timothy as an excuse to try and latch onto them! You're so outrageous and vile!"I had never been insulted or cursed like this in my entire life. But I also didn't know how to fight back. This was yet another trouble Irvin had brought upon me, and the thought of this only made me resent him even more.Hearing the certainty in the woman's tone, the people around us began casting strange glances in my direction. After all, I hadn't said anything to defend myself, either.Just then, Grace walked over, looking regal and elegant."Stop it, Lisa. Ms. Quill isn't a homewrecker. Back then, she was just still in too much grief over the death of her ex-husband and mistook Tim fo

Irvin waited for the little boy to pick up his ball and waddle away.Then, he looked at me and said, "Let me take you to the airport first, Emi. Then, as promised, I won't appear in front of you unless absolutely necessary. We'll leave everything up to time and let it wear down the feelings we're clinging to."Things can change quickly, after all. So, why don't we just set aside what we can't solve right now? And who knows—maybe some time later, we'll both be able to work through these feelings again."I knew someone as stubborn as Irvin wouldn't let go of his fixation on getting back together with me over a simple plea. And since it really was time for me to leave for the airport, I didn't argue with him any further."There's no need for you to take me—my driver is already waiting," I said.With that, I walked past him and got into my car. However, Irvin didn't leave. Instead, he followed behind my car the entire way.The sheer size of the Hardwells' affairs kept Irvin incredibl

Irvin stared at me, feeling lost. He didn't know how to answer my question—and I wasn't alone in my feelings.Sometimes, his memories and emotions would resurface in the middle of the night, and he would jolt awake. And when this happened, he also couldn't help but ask himself the same thing. How could he have done all those things to me?Irvin wanted to understand it himself too. Were his actions born out of habit?Because of all the misunderstandings and hatred between us, he wanted me to suffer as much as he did. So, Irvin had gotten used to abusing me emotionally and hurting me. He had also gotten used to treating me as unimportant.And then, it had eventually become a habit for him."I always felt Julianne was the one you truly loved," I said. "You always had an excuse for her actions, regardless of what she did. I continued, "Plus, you always pampered her, always softened toward her, and always wanted to help her. You never once doubted her, and you still accepted her, eve

If only…If only Irvin had hurt me a little less. Then, I would've forgiven him and gotten back together with him without hesitation. That was how much I loved him and how much I desired to grow old with him.However, time and time again, he had deeply stabbed me in the heart. So, despite my desire to love Irvin, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't bring myself to let go of that pain.Irvin smiled softly at me when he spotted me stepping out."I'll take you to the airport," he offered.Collecting my thoughts, I said, "No need. Didn't we agree back then to avoid seeing each other as much as possible until you can fully drop the guise of being Timothy Hardwell?""Yes, and I will do my best to stay away from you. But today is an exception," Irvin answered.I couldn't help feeling a flicker of irritation as I stared at him. I didn't want to see him because I no longer wanted to feel conflicted toward him."I didn't need you to fly all the way here from Lestoria just to send

Grace handed her phone to Agatha."Noah Ashford's grandfather wants him to marry the Charters' daughter to form an alliance between the families. Ms. Charter is also quite fond of him, but he absolutely refuses to marry her. Right now, both Noah's grandfather and the Charters are very displeased with his refusal," she explained.Then, she asked, "If we let them know the reason behind Noah's refusal, what do you think these powerful people will do, Agatha?"Agatha hardly paid attention to external affairs since Timothy's passing. So, she didn't even know who Noah was.Seeing her frown, Grace quickly realized she didn't recognize Noah's name."Noah Ashford is William Ashford's nephew. He is also the only grandson of Mr. Griffin Hull, the sole patriarch of the Hull family. Currently, Noah is the sole heir to both the Hulls and Redwood's Ashfords," Grace explained.Agatha recognized the two families. "Now, that's an impressive background."The Hardwells could rival the Ashfords, but
