"My wife..." As Andrew pursued Hadley, he uttered a frantic whisper, but all he could smell was exhaust fumes.

He saw her driving off, his anguish clearly visible in his eyes as if it were engulfing him.

"Had, do you think this will make him stop bothering you?" Asher inquired smilingly in the car.

Hadley forced a grin. "We're no longer together. Nothing remains to hold to. He's probably just irritated that I'm with you."

"I understand his jealousy," Hadley thought to herself. “It must be

    "Okay!" She stared at Kai, and erased the recording. "What are you still doing here? Go check and cut down all the trees around here immediately."Kai sighed with relief as he saw that she agreed. "Okay! Tomorrow, I will personally take down the trees. You'll be safe if you just sleep soundly, Lau. I'll handle everything."With haste, Kai dressed and exited the room.He bumped into Mary as he went outside.Kai was stunned; it was unfortunate to run across Mary at this time."Mrs. Beck, I came to deliver something to Ms Beck; she left it in the car earlier.” Kai said nonchalantly.Mary didn't give it much thought because she was too busy thinking about herself. "Hmm! Going forward, simply leave it in the hallway if it's this late. If the servants see you, it could lead to rumors.""Yes, Mrs. Beck, I do comprehend. I'll just leave it in the hallway the next time if it's too late." Kai said this and then walked away without saying anything else.Mary was uncomfortable. Jude hadn't come b

    When Laura opened her eyes, she saw Kai’s well-defined features. Even though he was thirty-five, his every action was mesmerizing."Hmm!" she whispered, "You know I like Drew. I don't want to talk about this again. I'm exhausted and want to go to bed," she remarked, feeling strangely agitated when Andrew was brought up.Andrew’s emotions were beyond her comprehension.When he returned from business trips, he always brought her gifts and treated her well.Despite their proximity, she sensed an unbridgeable gap between them.Kai’s face darkened; he truly liked Laura and would stop at nothing to save her."Kai, I believe Gwyneth is responsible for today's incident. The idea of her getting married to someone else was intolerable. Could you set her up for some trouble?’ Laura remarked, "I don't want her to have it easy."Kai’s eyes glowed with rage. "Yes! Can you think twice before getting engaged? I'll make sure she learns her lesson. You are aware of my love for you.”Laura scowled and t

    With a mink coat draped over her shoulders and an air of elegance and luxury, Mary stepped up. "I heard that Sheila really dislikes Laura," she asked, glancing at Mallory without giving it much attention. “Will she be present at the engagement party?""Mary, don't worry," Mallory said with a radiant smile, certain that she could convince Sheila to consent. “Sheila will be there, I promise.”Mary arched an eyebrow, a little uneasy at Mallory’s self-assured words.Mary was perplexed as to why Sheila harbored such hostility toward her daughter, Laura."Sheila’s presence is crucial for the engagement party to hold any significance, so I hope she will come," Mary stated before heading out with Laura. She even felt Andrew wasn't quite sincere.Following their departure, Mallory dismissed the maids and led Jude upstairs.Jude ripped at her clothes as they embraced once they were inside the room. "Jude, why are you so impatient?" cried an irritated Mallory. “I want to talk to you about someth

    "Liv, please go to my bag and get the self-sealing bag; there are samples inside," Hadley said, glancing at Olivia. “To determine whether those two are biological mother and daughter, take them for testing.”She told Chuck to get Mary’s sample.In response, Olivia said, "Okay, boss.""Boss, I'll have the results for you tomorrow morning," Olivia remarked as she hurried back with the self-sealing bag, received the sample from Chuck, and turned to Hadley. "Alright!" Hadley said as she left with Lois on her back.Little Lois was clinging to her mother's back, and Chuck was smiling at her. She closed her eyes at seeing Chuck.Chuck expressed his feelings of rejection by saying with a dejected expression, "Boss, Lois dislikes me; she closes her eyes whenever she sees me.”"Maybe it's because you're not handsome enough," Hadley thoughtfully retorted.Chuck was at a loss for words."Boss, that's too harsh," Chuck remarked, feeling quite depressed. Lois was still small, yet she already knew

    Hadley noticed Andrew seated across from her, maintaining his haughty demeanor. She felt powerless."Looks like that kick earlier today didn't teach you a lesson," she remarked, setting down her fork and knife because seeing him had spoiled her appetite for even the tastiest food."I just don't get it," Andrew said, haunting her like a ghost. She said, genuinely irritated, "Can't you stop bothering me?"She had released her grip, and she did so fully.Andrew gave her a sly smile. "So, you've decided to be with Asher?"There was resentment in his eyes.Hadley couldn't contain her icy laughter. "How does that concern you? It has been nearly two years after our divorce. Now we are strangers. It doesn't matter who I end up marrying. Please don't approach me."With his shirt unbuttoned at the top, exposing his Adam's apple and attractive collarbone, Andrew gazed at her idly.She felt the pressure as he sat back in his chair and smiled at her.Hadley scowled. He was always genuinely furiou

    "How can I simply let it go? Do you not realize that I suffer from back pain? You're making me worry about you instead of coming to visit me while I'm still in the hospital. Why can't you be more thoughtful like Laura, Francesca?” Mallory yelled. Francesca started crying. Her mother has been comparing her to Laura all the time lately."Mom...""Enough already; I'm tired of hearing it. I'm heading to my treatment right now. Don't include Laura in your troubles; instead, handle your own."As the call came to an end, Francesca experienced a wave of melancholy. She was being treated this way even by her mother.She was curious about her mother's situation.Laura has a great ability to win people over.Francesca was deeply resentful. She mustered a grin as she turned to face Laura. "Lau, I'm leaving now."The elevator arrived at the first floor just in time.Laura was a little perplexed as she watched her go. Her phone rang. It was her Jude."Dad." "Lau, someone else has taken over our p

    "Close your dirty mouth. "How dare you use the word stole? You may look respectable, but your words are disgusting." Ercell was furious and thought. No one had ever dared to treat Hadley this way, and they had looked up to her since they were young.Laura gestured to Jemima , who boldly moved forw

    "Let's avoid wasting each other's time because you detest me so much. Tonight, I'll move out. I'll see you tomorrow at the City’s court."
