MasukWhile Evelyn was having brunch with Alexander at his villa, her phone suddenly rang.It was Henry calling.She answered the call, and her father’s voice immediately came through.“Evelyn, the agreement has been drafted. You can come and sign it once I get home from work. By the way, have you spoken to the carter family about the investment?”Evelyn knew she had to sound confident. If she showed even the slightest hesitation, her father might begin to suspect that she had been bluffing.Keeping her voice gentle but firm, she replied, “Everything is fine, Dad. Don’t worry about anything. Everything will be settled within two days.”Henry was delighted by her answer.“That’s wonderful! I’ll bring the agreement home after work so you can sign it. Once that’s done, we’ll complete the transfer.”“Alright.”After ending the call, Evelyn turned toward Alexander.He was leaning back comfortably in his chair, and a triumphant smile played on his lips.His amber eyes were fixed on her as though
Alexander couldn’t help laughing at Evelyn’s reaction. He looked at her affectionately and said, “This place will eventually become your home.”Evelyn’s cheeks immediately turned red. Feeling embarrassed, she quickly changed the subject.“I’m thirsty. I need some water.”She had been sitting under the scorching sun for so long that she was genuinely thirsty.Alexander shook his head helplessly and gently pinched her cheek before taking her hand and leading her toward the main entrance.Meanwhile, the people who had witnessed their interaction were struggling to contain their shock.They stood frozen in place, staring at the couple with their mouths hanging open. None of them could believe that their young master, who had always seemed completely uninterested in women, had actually brought a woman home.He must have been deeply in love with her.The thought seemed almost too incredible to believe.Could this really be happening, or were they all dreaming?Standing at the main entrance
Evelyn sat quietly beside the flowerbed, staring at the ground as she thought about everything that had happened.Was destiny really determined by karma?Could Alexander truly be the only person capable of saving Lu Corporation?The thought made her feel uneasy. For a moment, she felt so small and insignificant in the vast universe that she began to wonder whether she could really change the future.She had been given a second chance at life, but that didn’t mean she could control everything that happened around her.As she sat there, her thoughts drifted to Alexander.She missed him.In fact, she missed him so much that she suddenly wanted to see him right away.Without giving herself time to reconsider, she took out her phone and dialed his number.At that moment, Alexander was sitting in his car with a notebook resting on his lap. He was busy organizing the documents he would need for the shareholders’ meeting later that day.He was so focused on his work that he barely noticed th
Evelyn closed the door behind her and let out an annoyed sigh.Could she not even get a decent night’s sleep?Victoria was becoming more irritating by the day.After muttering a few complaints under her breath, Evelyn quickly washed up and headed downstairs.As expected, the entire family was already seated around the dining table, waiting for her.She was genuinely surprised.In the past, nobody had cared whether she slept until noon. Instead, they would criticize her for being lazy and make her listen to their complaints all day.So why had everyone suddenly decided to wait for her breakfast?“Come on, Evelyn. We’re all waiting for you,” Henry Lu said, gesturing toward the empty seat across from him.Evelyn raised an eyebrow.She immediately remembered the conversation she had had with Henry the previous night, and everything became clear.They were waiting for her to arrange the meeting with the Lu family.With that in mind, she walked over and took her seat.“What a memorable day
Evelyn raised an eyebrow as she picked up her phone. Her guess had been right. Jade Williams was calling her, and she had requested a video call.With a small smirk, Evelyn accepted the call.Jade’s face appeared on the screen, and her long, jet-black hair immediately caught Evelyn’s attention. Jade had striking, delicate features, but she preferred dressing like a tomboy. Because of her style, people often struggled to tell whether she was a man or a woman at first glance.The moment Jade saw Evelyn, she blurted out, “Evelyn, what’s going on between you and Ethan Gu? I nearly dropped my phone when I saw the news about you two!”Evelyn had expected this. Her best friend had obviously seen the scandal spreading across social media and wanted answers.“It’s exactly what you saw,” she replied casually.Jade stared at her in disbelief. “Exactly what I saw? Who would believe that Victoria Tong is dating Ethan? Tell me the truth. Did Ethan really cheat on you with Victoria?”Evelyn let out
Anxiety immediately appeared on Sylvester’s face as his voice trailed off.If looks could kill, Alexander’s glare would have sent him flying out of the room.Ryan quickly stepped in with an awkward laugh.“Please don’t misunderstand, Young Master Sylvester. Miss Lu left with her cousin.”“Oh.”Sylvester relaxed slightly before turning toward Alexander again.“But you still need to be careful, Bunny. Just because he’s her cousin doesn’t mean she’s completely safe. After all, cousins sometimes take advantage of their younger relatives.”The corner of Alexander’s eye twitched.He was doing everything he could to stop himself from throwing Sylvester out of the room.Sylvester, however, did not seem to notice the danger he was in.“Let me tell you something. These days, most of the girls who come to our department for abortions are accompanied by their cousins.”Before Alexander could respond, a handsome, gray-haired man interrupted them.“Doctor Sylvester, I told you to transfer to anothe
