The Lie Behind His Devotion Chapter 94: Don't Touch Me With Those Hands
Nora looked at Weston in surprise, his hand frozen awkwardly midair unable to complete the gesture, unable to withdraw it either."Mr. Blackwood," she said, confused. "What exactly is this?"A short distance behind him, Nash fought back a laugh. What could the Second Master possibly be thinking right now? Jealousy, obviously.Weston's possessive streak was well documented at this point of course he couldn't stomach someone else touching Nora's hand in front of him. Not even a handshake.Weston, entirely unbothered, pressed forward smoothly. "Ms. Amanda. You're really choosing someone else this easily? No interest in reconsidering me instead?"Their eyes locked, and Nora's brow creased slightly.Has he developed a taste for theatrics?Fine. Two could play that game and Nora's performance skills were nothing to scoff at.She yanked her hand free and let her mouth curl into contempt. "Not a chance. What possible good could come from someone who keeps company with Grant Pierce?"Something
The Lie Behind His Devotion Chapter 93: Being Deceived
The gentle weight of that sentence stirred something unexpected in Nora's chest.Over the years, she'd weathered more than most people could imagine, and not once had anyone thought to ask whether it had been hard on her. She'd never even let herself sit with the question.And today, of all people, it's him who asks.Was it hard?Yes. Unbearably so, most days.I've fought for every inch of this.Her brow furrowed, something unfamiliar rising and threatening to spill over. She steadied herself, and when she pushed back against Weston this time, whatever mist had gathered in her eyes had already cleared.Composed again, gaze level, she was fully herself once more unshakeable."This is the road under my feet. I walk it no matter what it costs."Weston held her gaze, his calm exterior masking something aching underneath. He slid his hands into his pockets and smiled. "I know."---They parted ways in the parking lot. The moment Weston got into his car, he called Nash.He sat watching Nora
The Lie Behind His Devotion Chapter 92: Weston Felt Sorry for Her
The crowd froze.Every eye turned toward Vivian as she walked forward with deliberate grace.Her sight had deteriorated significantly, thick glasses perched on her nose now. She held a microphone in one hand and waved a stack of printed documents overhead with the other.She reached the center of the stage and stopped, finger pointed directly at Nora. "This woman Nora Ashford is the illegitimate daughter of my father and our household's nanny. Her mother knew exactly what she was doing. She stole eighteen years of both our lives, deliberately, with full knowledge of what she was doing to this family.""Ten years ago, her biological mother was arrested and imprisoned. I'm asking all of you what right does a woman born from an affair, raised by a convicted criminal, have to stand on this stage and present herself as some kind of success story? This is an insult to every person in this room."Vivian scattered copies of Helen's prison records across the venue, alongside the paternity test

Several days later.Weston's injuries had nearly fully healed. He stood in front of the French windows, fastening the last button on his shirt while Nash held out his suit jacket.Straightening his collar, Weston listened as Nash chattered beside him. "Second Master, word is Anchor Line Shipping is planning to sell off thirty percent of their stake in Harborcrest Docks. People in the industry are saying some painter-turned-businesswoman bit off more than she could chew switching into shipping. Honestly, it wouldn't be shocking if she couldn't make it work."Weston clipped on his sapphire cufflinks, mouth curving into something mocking. "A room full of idiots."Nash blinked. "How's that idiocy? If you ask me, Ms. Ashford did well just wrestling Harborcrest away from Grant Pierce in the first place. My guess is Kensington Bank's interest rate finally caught up with her overestimated what she could handle, and now she's boxed in. Should we step in and help her, Second Master?"Weston's m
The Lie Behind His Devotion Chapter 90: Men Get Terrifyingly Competitive
That answer genuinely caught Grant off guard.A man like Weston Blackwood, with a lover? Whoever she is, I almost feel sorry for her.Grant managed a dismissive smile. "Alright, then."---Miles called a driver for the group. He took the front passenger seat while Nora and Bea settled into the back.The moment the car started moving, Bea slumped against Nora's shoulder, fast asleep. The whole ride, Nora kept her phone lit up, messages flying back and forth with Weston.She'd asked after his injury first, relieved to hear back that he was fine.Then came the real news: the woman he'd been asked to track down had been found, matching every detail Nora had specified, appearance and build both.Relief flooded through her, impossible to fully hide.[Weston, thank you.]Only fair, Miss Amanda. No need to thank me.She set the phone down, mood lifted and it buzzed again seconds later.Another message from Weston. For what it's worth, from what I observed tonight Grant Pierce isn't as good-lo
The Lie Behind His Devotion Chapter 89: You Think I'm That Kind of Person?
Soft, carrying that particular scent that was unmistakably Weston, folding into her breath.Nora froze. Whether it was the alcohol slowing her reflexes or something else entirely, she didn't react right away.Then came the sensation she'd only ever experienced in a dream Weston, helplessly, deepening it.Nora snapped back to herself and shoved him away hard.A muffled groan escaped him, his hand flying to press against his left side on instinct.Too late, Nora remembered the injury her shove had clearly aggravated the wound.Worry flickered through her, though she said nothing about it.Weston caught his breath for a few seconds, studying her cheeks flushed a captivating pink, lips kissed red and full, more tempting than fruit freshly picked. His throat worked as he registered the faint trace of wine still lingering on her mouth, and even his usual composure seemed to momentarily fail him.The man who'd stumbled into him stammered an apology from the doorway of the men's room. "Sorry
