ログインFor six years after their marriage, Miranda Stone devoted herself wholeheartedly to being Mrs. Gibson. She only found out later that while he was abroad, Felix Gibson had been secretly keeping his first love by his side. Miranda had once believed that even the coldest heart would eventually warm if she just loved hard enough. But that belief shattered the day his beloved first love won an international award and threw a lavish celebration—while their daughter was being wheeled into a freezing cold operating room. That was the moment Miranda finally woke up. She took back her worthless love, filed for divorce, and walked away with her daughter without ever looking back. Once she picked up her career again, the woman who used to be a stay-at-home wife transformed into one of the most sought-after experts in the medical field. Her research papers were published in top international journals. Her breakthroughs won prestigious awards across countries. When she stepped back into the spotlight, glowing with confidence and ready to give herself another chance at happiness, the man who had always held himself above everyone else—so composed and restrained—finally broke. He lost it completely. His eyes were bloodshot, his voice hoarse with desperation. He dropped to his knees in front of her, pleading like a man who had lost everything. “Mira, please don’t leave me.”
もっと見るLeo got into the car and pulled the door shut. Xena immediately started banging on the window.“Leo, let me finish. You’re not leaving until I do.”He started the engine and had just begun to turn the wheel when a sharp cry rang out from outside.“Ah!”Leo slammed on the brakes. He hadn’t seen the front of the car hit her, but he still had to get out and check.Sure enough, Xena was sitting on the ground, one hand pressed to her stomach.A few restaurant employees rushed over at once.“Miss, are you alright?”Leo frowned as he looked at her on the pavement. “Are you hurt?”Xena lifted tear-filled eyes to him. “I’m fine. You don’t need to worry about me.”“Sir, it looks like she may have been hit. Do you want to take her to the hospital?” one of the waitresses asked.Leo opened the back door of the car and said, “Get in. I’ll take you.”Still biting her lip, Xena let one of the staff help her to her feet, then climbed into the back seat.Leo got back behind the wheel and pu
Fabian looked disappointed. He was just about to come up with an excuse to get close to Xena again when the door to a private dining room opened.A familiar figure stepped out. It was Leo.He seemed to have just finished a business dinner himself, with several associates following behind him. Xena’s heart skipped. Compared to Fabian, a soft-bodied man in his forties, Leo looked especially striking under the lights, tall, sharp, and effortlessly handsome.Leo saw her, stopped, and gave her a cool glance. Then his eyes shifted to Fabian beside her, and he seemed to understand the situation immediately.It was only one indifferent look, but Xena’s face burned with humiliation. She bit her lip and forced a smile.“Leo. What a coincidence.”Fabian quickly greeted him too. “Mr. Lincoln. Small world.”Then he looked at Xena in surprise. “You know Mr. Lincoln?”Xena smiled. “We’re friends. We also live in the same neighborhood.”Fabian froze for a second, then immediately understood
At the dinner that night, Xena sat through Roger’s business gathering.She hadn’t wanted to come, but for the sake of protecting one of Roger’s biggest clients, she had no choice except to play her part well.“Mr. York, you’re a lucky man,” one of the managers said with a grin. “I heard both your daughters are stunning, but now that I’ve met Ms. Spencer in person, I can see the rumors were not exaggerated.”At that, the middle-aged man seated beside Xena raised his glass. He looked to be in his early forties. “Mr. Long is right. Ms. Spencer isn’t only beautiful, she is also an internationally acclaimed pianist. Talented women like her are hard to come by. I have to say, I’m impressed.”Xena curved her lips into a smile and lightly clinked her glass against his. “You flatter me, Mr. Lawrence.”Roger also lifted his glass with a smile. “Mr. Lawrence, let me drink to you.”Fabian Lawrence was in his early forties. Years of business dinners and late nights had left him a little heavy
After a few seconds of silence, Roger’s tone softened. “Xena, I know you have your reasons. But you know what shape the company is in right now. I’m begging you. Please go ask Felix for help.”“Dad, we need to stop relying on other people,” Xena said. “We should figure this out ourselves.”“Alright, then listen,” Roger said suddenly. “I’ve got a dinner tonight. Come with me, and I’ll introduce you to the owner of Creaxis Corporation. He’s always admired your talent.”Xena frowned. “Dad, you know I hate these dinner meetings.”“Xena, be good and come,” Roger said, leaving no room for argument. “Think of it as doing me a favor. It’s just one meal. Besides, you’d be attending as one of the company’s shareholders.”Xena tightened her grip on her phone. If the company had nothing to do with her, she wouldn’t have bothered. But now that she held shares, she couldn’t just ignore it.“Fine. Send me the address. I’ll be there.”That evening, when Miranda got home, Felix and Mia were alre
It wasn’t until Hayden leaned down to kiss her that Sera truly panicked. But he was far too drunk to recognize anyone but the woman he loved. Once he had convinced himself she was that person, he wasn’t going to let go easily.She didn’t know how much time passed.Eventually, his breathing grew he
James’s earlier comment echoed in Fiona’s mind again.“If Miranda had taken the exam, she would’ve gotten a perfect score.”The words stabbed at her like a needle.“James, the documents are printed,” Fiona said as she stepped inside.“Leave them in the conference room. We’ll need them shortly,”
As Sienna envied Xena’s carefree vacation, a sudden thought crossed her mind.Who filmed this video?There was something about Xena’s expression. It looked almost like it had been taken after something intimate.Was it Felix behind the camera?The shot wobbled slightly, as if someone was standin
