Alicia didn’t bother responding. She glanced at her wristwatch instead. The moment Winnie caught that cool, dismissive gesture, her breath hitched with anger.

But the calmer Alicia appeared, the more uneasy Winnie felt. She sprang to her feet and sneered, “I can’t wait for you to be disgraced.”

Alicia’s eyes narrowed, dangerous and cold. She lifted her foot slightly, and Winnie flinched—then bolted out of the office.

Alicia’s face remained expressionless as she crossed the room and sat behind her desk.

Outside, Winnie stormed toward the parking lot, grumbling under her breath. “Damn it. I’ll make sure that bitch regrets everything,” she hissed through clenched teeth.

She slid into the car, barked at the driver, and they pulled away from the company gates—only to slow when a woman stepped forward, flagging them down. Emily.

Emily had seen Winnie’s car parked earlier. She’d come to see Alicia but changed her mind the moment she noticed it.

“Stop the car,” Winnie ordered.

    Agatha looked at Andy, then spoke with an even voice. “I made mistakes in the past. But I’ve grown—I’m a mother now, and I’ve learned to reflect on what I did. Don’t cling to yesterday. Let’s build a future together.”Andy shook his head, a sneer tugging at his lip. “There is no future for us. You weren’t my mother when I needed one. You won’t be one now that I don’t. I’ve accepted a life without motherly love.”Agatha’s face fell. She turned to Alicia, pleading. “Dear, talk to your husband. Help him let go of these old grudges.”Alicia’s voice remained calm. “My husband’s word is law to me. I will always stand with him.”Agatha stared, momentarily stunned. In that instant, she saw how perfectly matched Andy and Alicia were—though she still suspected Alicia was only pretending. She glanced between them before warning, “You and your wife should leave the country for now. I’m going to speak with your uncle Regan. I’ll also reach out to your deadbeat father and bring him to face Regan wi

    Emily sneered. “I regret it even more now. Marrying you was my biggest mistake. I’ll suffer for it till the day I die—all because I married a wretched man like you.”The word wretched hit Ethan like a slap. His fists curled, heat rose behind his eyes, and his chest throbbed with anger. The longer he stared at her, the more he feared he’d do something he couldn’t take back.He spun on his heel, slid into the driver’s seat, and stared straight ahead. He waited until Emily tossed her shopping into the trunk, then climbed in beside him.He expected an apology. None came.Instead, Emily angled her phone and started posing, smiling sweetly at the screen. The sight grated on him until he couldn’t hold it in.“Instead of thinking about a way forward,” he sneered, “you’re busy snapping useless pictures.”She rolled her eyes. “Thinking and hard work are for men, not for ladies. I’m meant to be pampered and spoiled, not overworked. Okay?”Something in him snapped. He slammed the brakes and pulle

    Emily flagged down a taxi, rode back to the hotel, and unlocked the door to find Ethan pacing, his face creased with worry.“Where have you been?” he demanded as soon as she stepped inside.She frowned. “Why are you interrogating me? What does where I go have to do with you? Since when do I have to report to you?”Ethan’s expression darkened. “We’re not rich anymore, Emily. Your parents aren’t here to protect us, there aren’t secret bodyguards shadowing our every move. We’re broke—damn broke—and instead of helping, you’re making it worse. Why did you leave without your phone? Why are you turning our lives into hell?”She let out a sharp, derisive laugh. “If you were half a man, we wouldn’t be broke. You’ve always depended on a woman to keep you afloat. Now no rich lady wants you, and you can’t improve our lives without conning someone.”Color drained from his face. His fists clenched; his eyes reddened. Still, Emily didn’t care. She walked past him, took a shower, and left him standin

    When Winnie asked the question, Beatrice leveled a serious look at her daughter and warned, “He isn’t just terrifying—he’s the devil everyone tells you to avoid. Nobody wants to go against him.”Winnie furrowed her brow. “Why is everyone scared of him?” she asked, curious. Then she shrugged. “I’ve met him twice. He seemed harmless. He’s not as bad as people say.”Beatrice’s face paled. “Stay away from him,” she said coldly. “People have died of poisoning just from a handshake—or simply by standing too close.”Winnie’s eyes widened, her mouth parting in disbelief. She thought her mother was exaggerating, but the look on Beatrice’s face said she meant every word.“Even his father was powerless against him,” Beatrice went on. “He ruined Andy’s father’s marriage. He orchestrated the first terrorist attack that claimed hundreds of lives just to paint the government in a bad light. They could never find evidence to pin it on him. He still walks free.”The more Winnie listened, the straighte

    Andy sighed. “Dad, I honestly have no idea how Uncle Regan thinks. He’s unpredictable.”His grandfather nodded, as if he hadn’t expected a better answer. “That little brat looked me in the eye and said I forced his mother to commit suicide. Said cancer is treatable. Said if I hadn’t been eager to see her die, I wouldn’t have convinced her to give up treatment.”Anger tightened the old man’s face. Andy couldn’t tell whether to be angry on his behalf or pity him. In that moment, Andy finally understood how hard it must have been to raise Regan—he must have made life miserable for everyone around him.“I miss your grandmother,” his grandfather murmured, voice rough with memory. “She was the only one he listened to. If she were alive, that evil genius would’ve been married with kids by now.”The room grew heavy with silence. Andy wondered how best to confront Regan while his grandfather drifted into the past.Then the old man snapped, “Little brat, did you tell your wife to hide and avoid

    Alicia never thought Andy was a coward or that he feared his uncle. But in that moment, she fully understood how terrifying the man truly was—and why Andy would rather not provoke him.What she felt more than anything, though, was Andy’s concern and affection. She reached for his hands and squeezed them, her voice soft but steady. “I’ll stand by you, hubby. Don’t be afraid. With me by your side, nothing will happen to us. We’re going to overcome this.”Feeling suddenly vulnerable, Andy pulled her into a tight embrace. “Promise me nothing will happen to you,” he murmured. “I couldn’t live with myself if you got hurt.”Alicia eased back, pressed a kiss to his forehead, and smiled. “Nothing will happen to me. I promise. I’ll stand by you, and we’ll face everything together.”He exhaled, some of the tension leaving his shoulders. Still, worry edged his voice. “Please—be careful. Watch every step. Someone’s watching you, waiting for an opening. I’m going to send some of my men to follow yo
