Third Person's POV
Harley didn't expect the conversation to take such a sharp turn.
His expression shifted slightly. Then, another reporter pressed on. "Harley, you and Catherine were childhood sweethearts. Do you still keep in touch?"
At the mention of Catherine's name, both Jessica and Harley froze.
Harley's demeanor instantly turned cold. He abruptly handed the microphone back to the host, refusing to respond.
Jessica's eyes widened in surprise—Harley and Catherine had been childhood friends?
This was explosive news!
Harley narrowed his eyes in irritation, sensing this was a deliberate attempt to corner him.
It was likely Samuel's doing. After several failed attempts to poach him, Samuel had evidently resorted to public opinion to pressure him—a common underhanded tactic in the entertainment industry.
"Want to know about Catherine? Ask me—I'm her BFF," Jessica stepped in to break the ice when the atm
Third Person's POV"Don't be mad. We're really just friends," Catherine said with a helpless smile."Where's the pure friendship among adults? Don't you know?" Blake really wanted to properly "teach this stubborn little woman a lesson."She let out a soft sigh. "I know he still has feelings for me, which is why I wanted to set things straight. I've married you, and my heart belongs only to you. I can't reciprocate his feelings."She gently stroked his face, her tone laced with guilt."So you plan to play the savior?" Blake was still not appeased."Harley hasn't had it easy. His family has left too many wounds. Between us, it's more like a familial bond. I just want to help him move on," Catherine said, maintaining eye contact."For years, he's lived in the past. I want him to see the present me—a married woman. Maybe this way, he can truly let go," she added.Blake narrowed his deep eyes, locking onto hers for a full minu
Third Person's POVUpon arriving at the restaurant, Catherine had the bodyguards dine in a nearby room while she waited by the window.Soon, Jessica and Harley entered together—though they hadn't planned to arrive as a pair, they happened to meet downstairs."Catherine, long time no see," Harley said softly as he entered.Catherine quickly stood and smiled, "Yes, it's been ages."Jessica, wearing an "I'm just a bystander" expression, quickly smoothed things over, "Let's sit! I'll order the dishes, and you two chat away. But Blake won't get the wrong idea, right? I don't want to end up on the run!"Catherine chuckled, "You're overthinking it. It's just a casual dinner among friends."Harley's gaze lingered on Catherine for a moment.Her elegance had only grown over time, and her delicate outfit highlighted her aristocratic aura."I never got the chance to congratulate you on your wedding and finding your biological

Third Person's POV"Go ahead!" Jessica laughed, covering her mouth."You and Catherine are friends?" Harley noticed her role as Catherine's bridesmaid and guessed they were close."Yes, we're bestie!" Jessica's tone turned affectionate when mentioning Catherine."I see..." Harley paused, then asked, "You were about to say something too, right?"Jessica nodded. "I heard Nebula Entertainment is courting you. Planning to switch companies?""Sent by Leo or your own curiosity?" Harley smiled faintly."Pure curiosity!" she explained hastily."Can I pass? I haven't decided yet." Harley shrugged politely but kept his distance.Jessica grew awkward. "Sorry for the intrusion!""No apologies needed." Harley's gentle smile eased the tension. The atmosphere turned stiff again."Let's not fuel any ship when we meet the press, shall we?" Harley broke the silence.Jessica's eyes lit up. "Lucky guess! I was thinking
Third Person's POVLeo saw right through Sunny's thoughts—she was such a fool.Did she really think breaking up would solve everything?He was both angry and helpless, yet couldn't bear to scold her.After all, to truly love someone, it takes immense courage to say "let go."He knew Sunny wasn't just bluffing; she might actually leave him alone in despair."Don't mention breaking up so casually. Got it?" Leo's voice deepened, each word carrying unshakable resolve.Sunny felt flustered and didn't dare to speak further.She treasured this rare moment alone with him—if the day of parting ever truly came, at least she could comfort herself with the memory of having had him.Leo brought in a bowl of oatmeal yogurt and a glass of water, sitting opposite her and watching intently as she ate.Sunny looked up to find him leaning on the table, chin resting on his arm, his gaze locked on her, making her cheeks fl
Third Person's POV"Don't get involved in this for me. Those people—they're dangerous, the kind you don't want to cross," Sunny said, recalling the woman's agility and menace.She was highly skilled and didn't look like a good person either.Such individuals were reckless and terrifying. They were desperate people. Getting involved with them would really end in mutual destruction.She didn't want Leo to seek revenge for her. She just hoped not to get him entangled."You think too little of our people." Leo snorted.Sunny stared at Leo's focused, handsome face as he tended to her wounds.His brow was dotted with sweat despite the spring chill. Was it worry for her or tension from touching her injuries?"Leo, I'm not doubting your abilities. I just don't want you to get dragged into danger with me. Promise me you'll stay out of this," Sunny said gravely.Leo narrowed his eyes. "A man who can't protect his own woman&m
