Chapter 224

Author: Lean
When those words tumbled out, even Victor froze. He had always toyed with every woman until boredom set in, including Sydney. At first, he assumed she would be no different. The only regret was he had never actually touched her.

But if he could? Marrying her would not be impossible. And if he grew tired one day, he could always divorce her. Nothing more than a stopgap.

Of course, his grandmother would never approve.

Hearing his words, Eloise nearly exploded. Rage flared in her eyes. "Have you

    The elevator lobby chimed, and the elevator doors slid open. Raymond and Julian stepped out."If you're paying, fine, but did it have to be at 9:00 p.m.?" Walking behind him, Julian checked his watch. "Sydney's still home waiting for me.""What's wrong with nine? You used to take meetings until dawn," Raymond argued."That was before. Things are different now," Julian shot back."Fine. We'll have a drink and leave."As they spoke, they rounded a corner. Ahead, a server carried drinks into a private room, and voices drifted through the open door."Tiffany, is it? If you don't drink this glass today, your firm can forget about getting any business from Ristar next year. I mean every word of that.""Mr. Chopard, I'll say it again. Please show some respect," Tiffany said coldly.Raymond's expression darkened. He strode past the server and pushed the door open. Julian raised an eyebrow but stayed outside.Inside, Raymond's sudden entrance drew every eye in the room.The moment Gio

    Even on the weekend, Tiffany couldn't get any real rest at home. Work messages poured in almost nonstop from morning to night. By the time she finished responding to them, evening had already settled in.When Barry Murdock called, Tiffany was reviewing a case file. The matter fell outside her strongest area of expertise, but she still wanted to take a crack at it."Mr. Chopard from Ristar Real Estate is our firm's top client target for next year. Come have dinner with us tonight. Consider it a favor to me."Tiffany had no desire to go. She knew Ristar Real Estate's reputation. Giovanni wasn't well regarded in their circle, and in some ways, his reputation was even worse than people said.Even so, Barry was her boss, and he had always treated her well."Sure. Send me the address."…The dinner was scheduled at a private club near the firm that had only recently opened. By the time Tiffany arrived, eight people were already seated in the private room.Barry waved her over to the

    The hallway fell silent for several seconds.Tiffany froze for a moment before she finally understood what he meant.The Huttons had agreed to let her and Raymond be together. The words reached her ears as though some great favor had been granted.She lowered her gaze, and the faint curve of her lips disappeared. "Whether your family approves or not is your family's business."With that, she opened the door and stepped inside, leaving Raymond no chance to say anything else.…The next morning, the moment Tiffany arrived at the firm, she spotted a hot latte on her desk with a sticky note attached.[Hope the hearing goes well.]Tiffany crumpled the note into a ball, tossed it into the trash, and shoved the coffee into a corner to go cold."Miss Voss, you don't drink coffee?" Jimmy Vardy asked as he came in with a stack of files, clearly puzzled."You can have it."Jimmy smiled, set down the files, and, seeing that she was serious, happily carried the coffee away. "Thanks, Miss

    The moment Diana stepped out of the office building, she spotted Hugo sitting in a black sedan. The window was rolled halfway down. He had always been handsome, but now the lines of his profile looked sharper and more defined."Why are you suddenly back?" Diana asked, surprise flickering across her face."I saw the news," Hugo said. "I figured you'd be stressed.""I'm not stressed," Diana replied.Hugo smiled. "Then I just wanted to come back."Diana studied him for a moment, then opened the door and got in."Where to?" Hugo asked."Home."The car pulled out of the lot. Hugo drove with steady ease."How are things at the Jillson Group?" Diana asked."Fine. With my grandfather keeping an eye on things, nothing's going to slip through.""Then stay in Norchester. Stop running back and forth," she said.Hugo said nothing.…Elsewhere, Tiffany was reviewing a case file when she received a call from her father."Your brother's gotten himself into trouble," Stanley said.Witho

    Hugo watched Diana walk through the gate before turning back to the car. He didn't drive straight to the estate. Instead, he leaned back in the driver's seat and sent Diana a message.Hugo: [Hey, remember to eat the cake.]Her reply came almost immediately.Diana: [Eating it now. Are you home yet?]Hugo: [Not yet. Still on the road.]Diana: [Drive safe.]Hugo stared at those two words for a long moment before starting the car with a smile.…The lights were on throughout the old Kingston estate.Marvin looked up when Hugo walked in and set aside the newspaper he had been reading. "Did you sort out your brother's business?"Before Leon left, Marvin had asked Hugo to keep an eye on the situation and prevent the two families from falling out."It's done." Hugo sat down on the sofa. "They'll get the papers in 30 days."Marvin let out a heavy sigh, equal parts disappointment and frustration. "Your brother is hopeless. He let a marriage that good slip right through his fingers."

    "I don't let things slide even if I'm wrong." Julian's tone was mocking, yet each word landed with precision. "Tell me, why should I let someone off when I'm the one in the right?"The world had long called him an arrogant king of the underworld. Caleb hadn't expected him to be this ruthless—so rut

    Tiffany nestled against Sydney's shoulder, murmuring, "If it really doesn't work out, we can leave Jouleston. Once I've saved enough, we'll go somewhere else."Sydney patted her head, offering a faint smile. "Alright, I believe you. We'll go somewhere else."Tiffany had always thrown herself into

If only
