Layson’s original plan was to reel in the big fish with patience. That truck driver was the only solid lead they had. But now the man was dead, and the lead was gone with him.

To say he wasn’t angry would be a lie.

At this point, Layson was furious—rage boiling over. And he had nowhere else to vent it but on Richard. If Richard hadn’t meddled, maybe there would’ve still been a window to maneuver.

Frustrated, Layson pulled out a cigarette pack, tapped one out, lit it, and sat down heavily on the couch. His whole demeanor radiated a coldness that warned people to stay away.

“Your people are way too high-profile. I’ve never liked you interfering in my business, and that hasn’t changed. I want you to back off this time—for good.”

His voice was raspy from the smoke, low and gravelly, but clear in the quiet study.

Richard let out a cold laugh, his face completely expressionless except for the mocking curve at his mouth. “Since when does a father need his son’s permission to handle things? L

    Evelyn gently shook her head and placed a warm hand over Adela’s pale fingers.“I’m fine. But you—you’re too polite. No matter what, I’ve always seen you as a real friend.”Adela looked down at the smooth hand resting on hers, her heart tangled in emotion. She could feel Evelyn’s sincerity, the affection she so naturally gave.But she didn’t know how to respond.With her head slightly bowed, her delicate neck was revealed—vulnerable and apologetic.Evelyn didn’t pull her hand away. Her voice remained soft and gentle.“Adela, I just want to be your friend. You don’t need to feel pressured. We both graduated from top schools, both majored in design, share similar values, and even see fashion in the same light. Forget that you’re Layson’s girlfriend or…” —she hesitated—“Liam’s younger sister. Even without those things, if we met anywhere, anytime, we would’ve been friends. I truly believe that.”Adela stared at her, stunned. Her heart swelled with a bittersweet warmth, a mix of surprise

    Layson’s car was instantly recognizable. Jason was a bit surprised—he knew Richard didn’t get along with either of his sons. So if the second son was suddenly driving his car, was this some kind of unexpected show of fatherly love?He hadn’t even wrapped his head around the thought when Richard’s voice came casually from the other end of the line, not sounding concerned at all:“It’s Layson’s girlfriend. The girl insisted on going out. I just sent someone to follow along.”Jason furrowed his brows, mentally chewing on that response.“So… you’ve accepted her as your daughter-in-law, then?”There was no reply.Jason realized he might’ve overstepped. He was well aware that his niece had feelings for Layson. As long as Richard didn’t formally acknowledge Adela as part of the family, most people would just treat it like a casual fling between the younger generation.Dating and marriage were two very different things—especially in their circle. The older generation still leaned toward arran

    At lunchtime, most people at Starry Jewelry didn’t bother going out. Some ordered takeout, while others brought meals from home.Adela and Cici usually opted for delivery. But today, before Adela could even place her order, she got a call.“Hello, miss. You placed an order with our restaurant. Should we deliver it to your office now or wait until later?”Adela was momentarily confused. “Are you sure you’ve got the right number?”The restaurant double-checked her info and confirmed—it had been Layson himself who placed the order.She was speechless. One car crash, and now everyone was on high alert.When she told Cici, the girl squealed with envy. “President Norman is unreal. Honestly, he’s probably the most doting man I’ve ever seen.”Adela couldn’t help but laugh.During lunch, she hesitated for a while before finally sending Evelyn a message. She asked if she’d be free for coffee sometime soon.Some things were just too vague over text or phone calls—better to talk in person. Plus,

    The moment Adela heard Liam Walton’s name, she had a bad feeling. And when she heard his wife, her brows instinctively furrowed. “You sure it was Liam Walton’s wife?”Wasn’t that Evelyn—the one who got Juliet fired and thrown into a holding cell?Adela didn’t exactly see Evelyn as the type to do something like that.Natalie pushed down her doubts and nodded. “That’s what people are saying. The Rodriguez family doesn’t have close ties with the Waltons, so I’ve only heard bits and pieces. But since Layson and Liam are friends, you might get more from him.”“You serious?” Andrew looked at Natalie like she’d lost her mind. “Who here has the guts to ask Layson anything?”Natalie just looked over at Adela.The so-called “person in question” gave an awkward smile and waved her hands. “Yeah, no way. If Layson hasn’t mentioned it, then he clearly doesn’t want me to ask. And knowing him, if he doesn’t want to talk about something, no one’s prying it out of him.”The study fell into a moment of

    Adela was caught off guard by Andrew’s question. She blinked, stunned, until Dexter suddenly barked, “Andrew, what the hell are you talking about?”Andrew scratched the back of his neck awkwardly. He never could keep a secret from Adela—plus, he had no idea Layson had kept all this from her. That man really treasured his girlfriend. At this point, Andrew felt like he should get on his knees and bow to him.“Wasn’t it just a regular drunk-driving accident?” Adela asked, genuinely confused. She looked at the three of them, her expression totally blank.And it was real—she clearly had no clue. The three of them exchanged looks, unsure how to even begin explaining.“Just tell me what you know,” Adela said calmly. “Layson hasn’t told me anything.” She closed her eyes briefly, then opened them, already steeling herself for the worst.Natalie hesitated, then started carefully, “Adela, the three of us saw the surveillance footage. It did look like a random accident... except the truck lingere

    Marah forced herself to suppress the shiver in her chest and asked again, “Didn’t you say the driver just had to pay a fine? How did it suddenly turn into…” —she didn’t finish, but the word “death” hung heavily in the air.The driver had been released after the crash. Since Adela hadn’t suffered any serious injuries, he was only facing a massive compensation bill—a sum that meant nothing to Bard.But still, the news of the driver’s sudden death rattled Marah. Only for a second, though. She knew she’d already passed the point of no return. If she wanted Layson, there was no turning back. All she could do now was charge straight ahead.A flicker of cold cruelty passed through Bard’s eyes. “If it were just Layson, I wouldn’t have had to sacrifice that driver. But someone else has stepped in. If I didn’t get rid of him, they’d have ripped me out by the roots.”Marah froze, staring at Bard in stunned silence, fear crawling up her spine.If Bard had taken this matter to his powerful mother,
