The Forgotten CEO 67. The Price of Remembering
The aftermath of the gala was quiet, heavy, and drenched in a dull, lingering pain that seemed to seep directly out of the villa's walls.Liam had carried Jacyn out of the hotel through a private exit, ignoring the flashing cameras of the press. He hadn't spoken a single word during the entire drive back to Lee Villa. His focus had been entirely on her—on the way her small hands wouldn't stop shaking, and how she clung to his jacket as if the fabric were the only thing keeping her anchored to the earth.Once they were upstairs, he didn't leave her side for a single second. He didn't change out of his clothes. He simply discarded his heavy tuxedo jacket, rolled up the sleeves of his white shirt, and sat in the armchair beside her bed. For hours, through the dead of night and into the gray dawn, he watched her fitful sleep. Every time she whimpered or flinched from the fading echoes of those phantom gunshots, his grip on her hand would tighten, silently reminding her subconscious that h
The Forgotten CEO 66. The Weight of Whispers
The atmosphere inside the mahogany‑lined walls of Liam’s private study was suffocating. While Jacyn slept soundly upstairs, exhausted from the emotional whiplash of her fragmented memories, Liam stood by the floor‑to‑ceiling window, a burner phone pressed to his ear.For a moment, he didn’t speak. His gaze lingered on the faint glow of her bedroom window above, the fragile peace he had fought to protect. Only when the line clicked alive did his voice drop into its cold, commanding register.“Speak.”On the other end, his head investigator, Uncle Chen, spoke in low, hurried tones. “Young Master, we managed to track down the retired forensic accountant who handled the Lou family’s estate liquidation after the accident eleven years ago. He confirmed what you suspected. The white van that chased her parents car was funded through a shell company registered in the offshore accounts of the Lou Group’s rival at the time—the old Han Syndicate.”A cold, lethal fury bloomed in Liam’s chest. His

The morning coffee at the executive desk was usually a quiet affair, but today, Jacyn was on a mission."Young Master Lee," she said, marching into Liam’s private office without knocking, holding a massive, neon-pink binder. "I have compiled a comprehensive, foolproof strategy for the upcoming cross-border merger. It involves exactly fifty-two color-coded tabs and a very aggressive timeline."Liam looked up from his tablet, his expression unreadable, though the faint twitch at the corner of his lips betrayed him. "Fifty-two tabs, Miss Lou? Isn't that a bit excessive for a preliminary brief?""A true professional is never under-tabbed," Jacyn countered smoothly, leaning over his desk to place the binder down. As she did, her sleeve caught on his heavy fountain pen, knocking it off the mahogany surface.Both of them reached for it at the same time.Their fingers brushed—her warm, nimble hand wrapping over his cool, steady knuckles. A sudden, sharp jolt of electricity snapped through Jac
The Forgotten CEO 64. Pockets of Happiness
The following morning at Lee Group, Jacyn arrived twenty minutes before her shift, her steps brisk and purposeful. She was determined to keep her focus sharp after last night’s unsettling encounter in the lobby. Work was her safe haven, a clean slate where numbers always added up, unlike the confusing, heavy tension between Liam and Xueqin Yan.But the moment she sat down, she noticed a small, elegant package sitting right in the center of her blotter. It was wrapped in heavy ivory paper, tied with a simple silver ribbon.Jacyn frowned, pulling it closer. Inside lay a delicate silver pendant shaped like a star. It looked old, the metal polished but bearing the tiny, faint scuffs of something that had been handled for years. A note accompanied it, written in precise, deliberate strokes:For the brightest star I once knew. — Xueqin YanJacyn stared at the silver star. A strange, fleeting sensation tugged at the back of her mind—a faint echo of laughter and a wide, open field—but it vani
The Forgotten CEO 63. Unfinished Stories
The day at Lee Group had finally ended, but the night was only beginning.After finishing up her tasks on the top floor, Jacyn grabbed her bag, stepped into the private executive elevator, and rode it down to the ground floor. But the moment the doors slid open into the massive, high-ceilinged main lobby, she froze.Standing near the glass revolving doors was a tall figure. His stride was slow and completely unhurried as he turned to face her, wearing a warm smile that didn't quite reach his sharp eyes.“Miss Jacyn,” Xueqin Yan greeted smoothly, his voice easily carrying across the quiet marble room. “It’s been far too long. Allow me to properly introduce myself this time.”Jacyn blinked, caught off guard. His presence was undeniably striking, but she felt absolutely no pull toward him. She tightened her grip on her bag and straightened her posture, her tone polite but completely cool. “Mr. Yan. I appreciate the gesture, but I’m just heading home. Coffee invitations really aren’t on m
The Forgotten CEO 62. Steel Wrapped in Warmth
The morning at Lee Group started like any other day. Papers shuffled, managers hurried down the hallways talking fast on their phones, and the office was filled with the usual busy hum. But Jacyn brought a bright energy with her that always made the place feel a little less rigid.She walked past Jawn Ng’s desk, where he was already buried under a massive stack of reports.“Don’t drown in all that paperwork, Mr. Ng,” she said with a bright smile, setting her bag down. “I don’t know CPR.”Jawn blinked, adjusting his glasses and looking a bit defensive. “Miss Jacyn, I assure you, I am perfectly capable of swimming through numbers.”“Swimming?” Jacyn teased, leaning against the edge of his cubicle. “So that’s why you wear those long ties. Lifelines.”Through the open double doors of his private office, Liam heard her bright voice. He didn't look up from the tablet on his large desk immediately, but a tiny smirk tugged at the corner of his lips at her wit.The playful mood shifted the mom

"Remind me again why a CEO like you knows how to cook." Jacyn teased him as they prepared the ingredients together."I was sent to study abroad when I was fifteen. I went from being the young master of the Lee's to a nobody. There's no one around to fend for me. I have to take care of myself." He fro

"Thank you." She murmured. They were inside Liam's car in front of the Lou's mansion. "For what?" Liam asked, without looking at her."For today? For helping us with the audition, for the food and for personally driving me back home." She felt ashamed because she doubted him before. He seemed to be a

"Yes, Director Zhang. Shall I continue with my act then?" Xia said, all smiles. She knew Jacyn was right. She should prove to them that she could still act. "My, my.. are you sure? I wouldn't want to put you on something like this. I already knew your capabilities like the back of my hand." Director

"Your name, please," Director Zhang asked uninterested, the annoyance still visible in his face. Yes, he already agreed to let her audition, but it didn't mean that his decision as to who would take the female lead role will change. He had already promised to give Winnie Lou this role and he would d
