LOGINChapter 87: Seize It by Any MeansAfter listening to the report, Leo smiled and said.“I didn’t expect you to speak so highly of her. That’s not very much like you, is it, Anessa?”Anessa was the type of person who was strict, rigidly principled, and not someone who easily showed admiration or praise for others.In other words, she had been trained by the Dominic family to be loyal only to them, so she would never accept ordinary people approaching her master.Yet after working together for only a few days, Anessa’s attitude toward Ella had changed to this extent, which surprised even Leo.Anessa replied awkwardly.“Well… that’s because she’s truly more capable than I expected.”It was actually a good thing that the secretary team had a favorable view of Ella. It seemed that she really was more capable than Leo had thought.Leo fell silent for a moment before asking again.“She didn’t ask you to do anything else? Just handle that child’s matter?”Anessa nodded in response.Leo was qui
Chapter 86: Fortunately, That Person Was EllaFinn’s warning made Leo stare in astonishment, then burst out laughing while clutching his stomach.Ella married him with a purpose? If that were true, Leo might even feel happy about it.On the contrary, that foolish, cold girl like a block of wood did not even spare him a glance. Besides, if Ella truly had ulterior motives, how could one explain the fact that she agreed to sign that marriage contract with him?Leo smiled, waved his hand, and said.“I’ll take that as your concern for me. But this time, you’re probably wrong. Intuition isn’t always right, is it?”Finn held his head and sighed.“I’m sure I’m not wrong. That girl grew up in an orphanage, and now she has the chance to cling to the only son of the Dominic family. How could she possibly not have other intentions? That sounds ridiculous!”Leo did not reply, only smiling faintly to himself.Rather than saying Ella had impure intentions toward Leo, it would make far more sense to
Chapter 85: Why Didn’t She Hold Even the Slightest Hope?Lilya and Ryan were originally mischievous children. Leo knew very well that most of the women who approached him were driven away by these two kids. Previously, he did not care much about this matter. Their mischief helping him avoid those troubles was actually a good thing.But this time, Leo felt a bit worried. As he held their hands and stood outside the bride’s waiting room, knocking on the door, he sighed inwardly.“Hopefully she won’t get scared and run away.”Finding a suitable partner was not easy. Leo believed that Ella would be able to fulfill the conditions in the contract well.But if Ella could not endure Lilya and Ryan’s mischief and ran away like the others, it would become troublesome.So before entering, Leo reminded Lilya and Ryan.“I’m just saying this in case, but don’t do anything excessive. Even if you don’t like her, don’t be too rude.”Ryan nodded obediently. This child was sensible, so Leo was not too w
Chapter 84: An Ordinary Girl Who Captured His AttentionLeo’s life could be considered one that had started at the finish line. The only son of the Dominic family, he had been designated as the heir since childhood. For someone who could obtain anything he wanted like Leo, there were not many things in this world that could truly interest him.Leo once felt that his life was terribly boring. He was curious about how ordinary people out there lived, whether it might be more interesting.But no matter how great his curiosity about the outside world was, Leo knew that he could not abandon the burden and expectations placed on his shoulders.As he grew older, it became increasingly rare for Leo to feel interested in anything around him. Bianca was the first person who had ever drawn his attention. After losing her, Leo believed that no second person would ever appear again in his lifetime.But Ella Oliver, a strange woman, had captured Leo’s attention from their very first meeting.At fir
Chapter 83: FlirtingI froze. Why was he suddenly caring about my feelings? In my previous life, he would not even spare me a glance, and now he was saying he wanted to make me happy?I had always been good at many things, except for one, I was bad at controlling my thoughts.For some reason, whenever I was in front of Leo, I could not hold back and would blurt out whatever was on my mind.“That’s exactly why I’m asking, why would you want to make me happy? How I feel doesn’t matter to you at all!”Leo looked at me with a stunned expression. He was probably surprised that I was being this straightforward.After all, I was not someone who was good at hiding my emotions, and more importantly, I had no intention of being polite with Leo. Right now, we were in a mutually beneficial partnership. Although he held more power in this relationship, I still had my own dignity.If we treated each other as equals, then there was no need for me to exhaust myself with formalities.Leo laughed and s
Chapter 82: The Secretary TeamLeo looked at me with a doubtful gaze mixed with a hint of helplessness. He sighed and said.“You know that’s not what I meant, Ella.”I only let out a cold snort and muttered softly.“But you’ve been monitoring what I do, haven’t you? If you don’t trust me, then you shouldn’t have assigned someone to me!”I knew that maintaining a good and close relationship with Leo would benefit me greatly, both now and in the future. But sometimes I felt that, to Leo, I seemed to be an unnecessary burden.Leo needed a wife to take care of the two children who were still too young. More than that, he needed someone who was not greedy for the Dominic family’s fame and status, which was why he accepted marrying someone else.In other words, Leo could still live well even without someone like me. It was only because he was thinking of everyone that he had to accept this marriage, and I was just someone whose presence or absence did not really matter.The way Leo kept hel
Chapter 15: They First MetThe reason I agreed to attend today’s party was, of course, not because of Julian Bennett or Dyan’s persuasion. To me, those people held absolutely no meaning at all.The real reason I wanted to come here was because of him, Leo Dominic.Leo Dominic stepped into the banqu

Chapter 30: A Love Like a Fairy TaleFinn Muller continued to look at me with a harmless smile, but his eyes seemed to be observing my every movement.I knew that if I revealed even the slightest flaw, he would immediately grasp the truth about our marriage.Finn smiled and spoke as if asking for m
