Caleb arched a brow. "Why not? Especially if there are benefits to gain."

He was a businessman, and profit was key.

Luke surveyed Caleb from head to toe.

"Nova Nine's capital injection this time will never bring them success. They don't even have a complete production chain. Investing in their project is a sure loss. Jasper even dared to involve Amelia in this project. Who does he think is blind enough to join him in his efforts to please and woo a woman? I advise you to think twice."

    After Amelia finished the soup, Keith handed her a pack of compressed crackers. "Have some of this, too. It'll keep you going. Later, let's check the tents and secure the rain covers. This rain's probably going to get rough."Amelia took the crackers and nodded. "Okay. Thanks for the help."The two of them grabbed flashlights and went from tent to tent, checking each one.As Keith secured the rain covers, he reminded her, "If you hear anything strange from your tent tonight, or if it starts leaking, call me right away. Don't try to deal with it on your own. This isn't the city. Out here, we need to look out for each other.""I got it. Thank you."Amelia felt a quiet sense of gratitude.The conditions on this trip were rough, and Keith had been looking out for her the whole time. He carried the gear, made hot soup, and reminded her of things like this. It made her feel a lot more at ease.By the time they finished checking the tents, a fine drizzle had already started falling,

    The terrain and climate in the forest were unusual.Amelia crouched beside the equipment, a clipboard in hand, carefully recording the temperature and humidity data transmitted back by the drone.Keith stood next to her, adjusting the weather monitoring device. The two of them exchanged a few comments about the data from time to time, working in easy sync."That's the last set of data. We're done for the day." Keith checked his watch and smiled at Amelia. "We've been at it since morning. The sun's almost down. Let's set up the tents before it gets dark, or it'll be a hassle."Amelia nodded. She put away her clipboard and helped him unload the tent gear from the SUV.The wind cut through the forest, loud and restless, mixed with strange calls from wild animals.Other than that, there was nothing.They split the work. Keith handled the tent frame while Amelia laid out the ground mats and sleeping bags. Both moved with practiced ease.By the time the last tent was up, the sky had

    Amelia let out a small sigh, put her phone away, and forced herself to focus on work.At the same time, Christopher was alone in a hotel room.He hadn't left Rivendell the night before. Instead, he checked into a hotel not far from Amelia's place. He wanted to be close enough to feel near her, but he wasn't brave enough to knock on her door again.He leaned back against the headboard, eyes closed. At some point, he drifted off.In the dream, Amelia stood in front of him, her expression cold as she handed him two documents and asked him to sign.He had always trusted her, so he signed without reading them.His voice was distant as he told her not to let her or Evelyn bother him again. After signing, he handed the papers back and walked away.At a dinner party, someone pushed through the crowd and spoke to him."Mr. Zephyr, your wife and daughter were cremated today. Please go to the crematorium to collect the ashes."His heart skipped a beat. He refused to believe it.He drove

    Christopher knew that leaving like this had hurt Amelia and Evelyn again, but he didn't know how to face them.He leaned against the cold wall in the hallway. Only after the tight pressure in his chest slowly eased did he push himself upright.He took a few deep breaths, forcing himself to calm down.Then he pulled out his phone and called Nigel."Keep a close eye on Jayden. I want to know who he's been meeting with lately and whether there's been any unusual money moving around."Christopher's voice had returned to its usual cool edge, steady and unreadable."And keep track of Gerald's movements. If he's still in Rivendell, let me know right away.""Got it, Mr. Zephyr. I'll have people on it immediately."Nigel's voice came through the phone, sharp and efficient.After hanging up, Christopher stood there, staring down the empty hallway, his thoughts still unsettled.He knew he had been too harsh with Amelia just now, but he didn't know how else to face her. He was afraid his

    "Your body hasn't even recovered, and we don't know if Gerald is still nearby. What if something happens to you out there?" Amelia said, worried.Christopher tried to shake her hand off, but he didn't have the strength.He could feel the warmth of her palm through the thin fabric of his sleeve. It seeped in, slow and steady, and the faint warmth it stirred only made the guilt hit harder."You don't need to worry about that." His voice was tired. "I can handle my own problems.""Christopher, can you stop being so stubborn?" Amelia's brows pulled tight. "You're not alone anymore. You have me, and you have Evie. We're both worried about you. Can you think about us for once?"At the mention of Evelyn, Christopher froze.He thought about last night, about her small voice asking if he was sick, and the way she looked at him, like she wanted him to stay.Something inside him gave way.He closed his eyes. When he opened them again, all that was left was exhaustion and a quiet surrender

    Amelia looked at Christopher and paused.The room fell quiet for a few seconds.Then she spoke, her voice calm. "Okay."As soon as the word left her lips, her eyes locked onto him. "But you need to tell me why you're trying to keep your distance from me. What's really going on in your head? Before this, Jessica told you to stay away from me, told you not to see me again. Is that why your mood's been off? Is it because of me?"Each question landed like a fine needle, pressing into Christopher's chest.His hand at his side tightened slightly as he took a slow breath. "I haven't sorted out my emotions yet. I'm not in a place to answer you right now."He had always been the type to plan everything. Every answer, every decision was thought through, measured out so nothing could go wrong.But now, with the weight of depression dragging him down and everything with the Zephyr family throwing him off balance, he couldn't give her a clear or steady answer.He was used to doing thing

    Lincoln pulled Amelia into his arms and wrapped them tightly around her as he brought her out of the fountain.Amelia's clothes were all drenched and heavy with water, which made her feel even more terrible. She had choked on the water and was coughing profusely. She coughed so hard, her pale face

    Nicole knew the power that Christopher had over Amelia. If Amelia really dared, she wouldn't have waited till now to do so.Amelia was just trying to warn her with empty threats.Nicole didn't pay Amelia's warning any heed. Amelia had never been able to do anything to her, anyway.She surveyed Am

    If these projects dragged on, other companies were bound to surpass Megatech. There was no lack of talent in the industry right now.Nicole was sure that if Megatech got one step behind, it'd be behind at every step. That was the reason for her anxiety.Not just that, but she also had Nova Nine as

    Since there was a shortcut in life, just take it.It was just that the way they worked was different.However, it didn't change the fact that he looked down on Amelia.Many women were like her, rising in the ranks because of men. Such women were most shameless and contemptible, looked down upon i
