“Mom, while you were undergoing radiotherapy these past few days, Malcolm and I went to Westhaven to visit our daughter. We didn’t even get to visit you at the hospital, so the moment we got off the plane, I dragged him here.”

Fiona gave her daughter a look. “Honestly, Madeline. Malcolm is so busy, and you still dragged him all the way here.”

She scolded her aloud, but inside, she was still happy.

“It’s all right, Mom. We should come by to see you,” Malcolm said.

Madeline was thirty-four this ye

  • My Cheating Ex-Husband Landed in the ICU After I Married a Billionaire   Chapter 100

    Alvina went to a watchmaker’s shop and explained what she needed.After examining the pocket watch for a long time, the watchmaker shook his head. “You’ll need to take this to a specialist who removes memory cards. The watches we sell don’t contain storage cards, so I don’t have the right tools. If I damage it trying to pry the card out, who will be responsible?”Alvina admitted that he had a point.She eventually went to a software company instead.After working on it for a long time, they finally removed the card, but her worst fear came true.The thin memory card could still be detected after being soaked, but the files stored on it were corrupted.She left the card with the company and asked one of its engineers to try to recover the data.They would call her the moment the repair was complete.At four that afternoon, Eden kept his promise and drove to the entrance of her studio.Alvina took out the birthday present she had prepared for her grandfather: a large, square gift box ro

    Wendy snatched the pocket watch before anyone else could react and lied without hesitation. “This is mine!”Alvina saw how much she cared about the watch and became even more certain that it concealed a secret.“Dr. Warren, this watch clearly belongs to me. How did it suddenly become yours?”Alvina’s voice sharpened. “If you insist it’s yours, we can verify it in Mr. Roland’s office. There’s a memory card inside. We can take it out and see whether it contains anything belonging to you or me.”Wendy’s hand tightened around the watch, betraying her unease.The more nervous she became, the more certain Alvina felt.Wendy studied psychology, and after the initial panic, she quickly regained her composure.If there really was something inside the watch, Alvina would have taken it out in front of the Gray family the previous night.Why wait until now?She was bluffing.But Wendy could not be certain the watch contained nothing. Without knowing for sure, she did not dare take the risk.She ma

    To prevent Eden from forcing Alvina to apologize again, Sariel rose to his feet. “Forget it. Since you came here personally to apologize, I won’t hold it against you. You may leave.”Eden was delighted and immediately stood as well, then pushed his luck. “I knew you were magnanimous, Mr. Roland. About your plan to take control of Evercrest…”Sariel clenched his hand beneath the desk and replied coldly, “It was only something I said. I haven’t taken any action.”Satisfied with the answer, Eden beamed. “Good, good. We won’t disturb you any longer. We’ll be leaving now.”The three of them had just started toward the door when Sariel spoke again.“Miss Jones, stay for a moment. You entered Aurelle’s Fragrance Design Competition, didn’t you? I have a few questions for you.”Eden had no idea Alvina had entered the competition.He turned to her in surprise. “You entered Aurelle’s Fragrance Design Competition?”“Yes,” Alvina answered indifferently.Eden reacted as if he had just heard the fun

    Wendy was staring at Sariel’s wrist.He wore an exceptionally luxurious watch. She did not know the brand, but the watch looked strangely familiar.Where had she seen it before?She searched her memory, trying to place it.Eden finally recovered from his shock. Sariel’s treatment of Wendy had truly caught him off guard.He could not understand what Sariel meant by treating them courteously one moment and turning hostile the next.He spoke again with utmost sincerity. “Mr. Roland, whatever happened that day was entirely my fault. I sincerely apologize. I hope you’ll forgive me this once, considering that I brought my wife here in person to apologize.“I’ll watch my words and conduct myself with greater care from now on. I won’t look down on anyone again.”Sariel did not hear a word of it.Although Alvina had changed into dry clothes, the clothes underneath were still damp. She had not had time to dry her hair either, and her seat happened to be directly beneath the air-conditioning ve

    Aurelle was truly enormous. The executive office alone had more than a dozen secretaries.They stepped into the grand, luxurious office and immediately saw the striking man seated on the sofa in the reception area.He wore a perfectly tailored black suit that emphasized his broad shoulders and strong, streamlined frame. With no tie around his neck, the top two buttons of his shirt were undone, giving him an air of cool arrogance softened by casual ease.Sariel was the kind of man who carried an imposing presence wherever he went. He resembled a predator poised to strike—handsome in a way that felt almost aggressive, yet restrained enough to make the room feel suffocating.When his indifferent gaze swept over them, Wendy’s heart jolted.She had encountered him twice before, but both times she had been too frightened to look at him closely.Only now did she realize how captivating he truly was.Eden walked straight toward Sariel and extended his hand warmly. “Mr. Roland, I apologize fo

    Sariel sat behind his desk with one hand braced against his forehead, glaring furiously at Daniel.Daniel looked utterly helpless. “Mr. Roland, I really didn’t know Miss Jones had come along. If I had known, would I have kept it from you?”“Wouldn’t you?”Daniel swallowed.He tried to explain plaintively, “I was worried she might get too close to you, but I wouldn’t stoop so low as to use an opportunity like this to deliberately humiliate her…”Sariel shot him a vicious glare. “First, arrange for Alvina to change into something dry. Then bring her to my office. As for the other two, have them wait outside.”Daniel immediately waved his hands. “Mr. Roland, you absolutely cannot do that…”He earnestly tried to reason with him. “Think about it. Eden is Miss Jones’s husband. If you invite his wife in alone and leave him outside, any man would get suspicious. If you don’t want to cause trouble for Miss Jones, you need to show some restraint.”Daniel put it even more bluntly. “You can be in
