“I really didn’t mean to bump into Lyra.” Ciara lowered her face. “I’m sorry.”

She then looked at Lyra. “I’m sorry, Lyra. I didn’t mean to hurt you.”

Lyra did not answer.

Ciara bit her lip before continuing in a softer voice, “Can we take Lyra to the hospital? I’m afraid her hand is injured.”

Damien looked at Lyra’s hand again. Only then did he truly notice the injury she had suffered. Lyra’s hand was not only red, but had also begun to blister from the hot water that had splashed onto it.

    She was reminded of what Leonel had said some time ago, when he told her that he wanted to show her off to the world.It turned out he had meant it.“Are you still running the coffee shop that used to be downtown?” Eleanor Cavendish, the wife of a senior investor who had been part of their conversation, asked.Lyra nodded. “Yes, I used to manage that place.”“Oh, I see. I've heard many good things about that coffee shop. A few of my friends have visited as well, and they said the coffee and desserts there were quite exceptional.”“I'm glad to hear that.”Vivienne Caldwell, the owner of a luxury boutique standing beside Eleanor, joined in. “In that case, would we still be able to visit someday? I've heard my friends talk about the desserts there several times.”Lyra gave a faint smile before answering, “Unfortunately, the coffee shop is under new management now. I no lon

    As soon as Leonel and Lyra entered the auction venue, their arrival immediately caught the attention of several guests who had already arrived. Some even paused their conversations just to greet him.As the eldest son of the Hastrings family, Leonel was no stranger to the business world or high society.His presence at an event like this was already enough to attract attention. However, tonight, there was something else that had many people curious. He had arrived with his wife, Lyra Hart.Several pairs of eyes discreetly observed them. Some recognized Lyra from previous news reports, while others only knew her as Leonel's wife. Quite a few were also curious about their relationship, considering that their marriage had once been a topic of discussion in certain circles.Leonel didn't seem particularly concerned about the attention. He continued walking beside Lyra, occasionally introducing her to the people who greeted them.“Leonel! It's bee

    That evening, Leonel arrived at their residence exactly at the agreed time. Lyra was already waiting for him in the living room, wearing the dress he had chosen for her earlier.The elegantly cut dress in a soft shade fit her perfectly. The matching pair of shoes made her look even more graceful, while the jewelry she wore completed her outfit without appearing excessive.When Leonel entered the room, he briefly stopped in his tracks.Lyra, who had been checking her phone, immediately looked up. “Can we leave now?”Leonel didn't answer right away. His gaze swept over his wife's appearance from head to toe before finally settling on her face.“You look... beautiful.”The brief compliment brought a slight smile to Lyra's lips. “You're the one who picked everything. If the result isn't good, then your taste is what needs questioning.”The corners of Leonel's lips lifted slightly. “It seems I have

    After Paul and Ciara left the building, Leonel's assistant returned to his office carrying several documents.“Sir, are you really going to release the funds to Hart Company?”Leonel, who was reviewing the files in front of him, looked up. “Yes.”His assistant still seemed uncertain. “Even though there are several transactions that haven't been explained?”Leonel set his pen down on the desk. “I have no intention of releasing the funds without additional agreements in place. They must meet all the conditions we've established before the money can be disbursed.”“I understand, sir. It's just that—”“It's better if you keep an eye on their activities after the funds are transferred. I want to know how the money is being used, especially for the projects under Ciara's responsibility.”His assistant nodded. “I'll make the arrangements.”Leonel returned to his work while his assistant began reviewing several other documents. Not long afterward, a message arrived on his phone.He quickly re

    Leonel's words made Ciara lower her head. Her hands twisted together as she felt that the man was becoming more and more terrifying. It seemed she could no longer argue with him much longer.She was worried that if she continued to deny everything, Leonel might refuse to help her father.The situation finally prompted Paul to take a deep breath before looking at Leonel again.“All right. I accept the conditions you've proposed. We'll prepare all the necessary documents.”He then turned to Ciara. “Make sure you do whatever Hastrings Group asks. I don't want any more missing documents or unclear explanations.”“All right, Dad,” Ciara replied briefly.Paul watched his daughter for a moment, making sure she had no further objections. Then he turned back to Leonel.“In that case, can we consider the funding decision final?”Leonel nodded. “I approve Hart Company's loan proposal. However, the funds will still be disbursed based on the results of the document review and your fulfillment of t

    Ciara, who was already standing beside her father, suddenly spoke up again before they had actually left the room.“I think this kind of audit has gone too far. It's as if the company's entire financial affairs are being laid bare without leaving even the slightest room for privacy.”She looked directly at Leonel without hesitation before continuing. “I also feel as though I'm being stripped bare in front of other people just because there are a few transactions I haven't had the chance to explain yet.”Paul turned to her.He didn't like the way Leonel had imposed those conditions, but Ciara's words made him frown slightly. If all those transactions could be explained, why did his daughter seem so opposed to the scrutiny?Leonel, who was still seated, showed no change in expression.“You should be grateful that this audit uncovered those discrepancies before the problem grew any worse.” His gaze shifted to Paul.“Have you really not known how money moves through your own company all t
