Liora Archer has won awards at the international design competition, and her father is a councilman in the city of T.She believes she's extraordinary and always carries an air of arrogance in the company.With Liora Archer's harsh tone, the secretary didn't know what to say.After a long pause, the secretary whispered, "I'll take care of it before quitting time."Lyra looked coldly at Liora Archer, her intuition sensing Liora Archer's hostility.She was the wife, the CEO's lady; Liora Archer couldn't outright insult her.So, she redirected her anger towards the secretary, indirectly scolding her for not finishing her tasks due to accompanying her.Liora Archer narrowed her eyes, lined with exquisite eyeliner."Fine, I want to see how you'll manage it. Bring me the minutes of the design department's meeting right now!"The secretary was about to stand up but was elegantly blocked by Lyra's outstretched hand.Lyra languidly said, "Aren't you here to get the meeting minutes yourself? I
If it weren't for the child, she wouldn't have stayed. Lyra lowered her gaze, a hint of faint melancholy passing through her eyes. She said softly, "If there's nothing, I'll leave first." Ronan still stared at the documents without a word as Lyra turned and left. As soon as the office door closed, Ronan fiercely threw the documents aside. He hadn't read a single word on the file; his mind was filled with Lyra's indifferent words. He was very angry and very confused. As Lyra left ZenithVentures, the driver politely asked, "Madam, are we going back to the Imperial Palace now?" Lyra shook her head, "I want to buy some baby supplies. Can you take me to the mall?" While she was shopping in the mall, she asked the driver to wait for her in the underground parking lot. After finishing her shopping, as she was about to head to the parking lot, suddenly, someone rushed out from the side. A man held a bottle of an unknown liquid and suddenly splashed it onto Lyra! This startled Lyra
Seeing his daughter's guarded expression, Orion Everly sighed and said, "Lyra, you know, don't you? Octavia has always liked Ronan."Octavia Everly hung her head in distress, her voice choked, "Sister, I know I shouldn't have secretly fallen for Ronan."Orion Everly patted Octavia Everly's hand to console her and continued speaking:"At first, I was a little resentful of Octavia, after all, you and Ronan are married, and Octavia shouldn't have tried to ruin her older sister's marriage."Orion Everly glanced at Lyra's face, seeing her calm demeanor, and continued:"I regret letting you marry him without considering Octavia's feelings.""But now that Octavia's innocence has been taken by Ronan, even if Dad asks you, can you forgive Octavia?"Lyra mocked, remembering the explicit photos Octavia showed her on her phone.Octavia Everly's eyes harbored resentment, but she pretended to be very aggrieved, her eyes red."Sister, I'm sorry..."Lyra secretly clenched her fingers, her expression
Octavia Everly's face showed resentment. She raised her chin defensively, "How do you know I'm not pregnant? Even if I'm not now, I will be sooner or later!""Is that so? Then why did you come to ask me?" Lyra retorted without any politeness.Orion Everly felt his face flushing, torn between shame and anxiety. He quickly said, "Lyra, don't be angry. Dad was talking casually. If it's not possible, forget it.""After all, Octavia is shameless enough to climb into Ronan's bed. Even if she gets pregnant and has to abort it, it's only fair... it's only fair..."Lyra's eyes, cold and disdainful, landed on Orion Everly, raising her eyebrows, "Alright, stop acting. I know your demands. Now show some sincerity and listen to my conditions!"The three from the Everly family suddenly brightened their eyes. Orion Everly, excitedly rubbing his hands, unbelievably exclaimed, "Lyra, are you willing to give up the position of ZenithVentures' CEO's wife to Octavia?"Both Octavia Everly and Rowena Winte
Lyra hung up the phone.Octavia Everly immediately approached and asked, "How did it go?"Lyra, with a cold expression, said, "He agreed."Octavia Everly grinned, "I need to go get ready. What should I wear tonight?"Lyra glanced at Octavia Everly's heavily made-up face.Octavia Everly wasn't bad-looking to begin with.But she preferred heavy makeup, permed hair, and vibrant clothes.Though she was two years younger than Lyra, she appeared much older.Without the destiny of a phoenix, she insisted on trying to appear like one!Lyra calmly said, "Instead of focusing on dressing up, why don't you take the time to bake a matcha cake in the kitchen while you still can?"Octavia Everly disregarded it, giving Lyra a disdainful look, "You have no sense of fashion…"She suddenly paused, her thoughts shifting, immediately changing her tone, "Did you say matcha cake? Does Ronan like matcha cake?""Yes, haven't you heard that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach? If you can make a ma
Lyra took a deep breath, "What I mean is, I think Octavia Everly's skill is excellent. What do you think?"Lyra raised an eyebrow, looking at Ronan, a hint of threat in her eyes.Her implied meaning was: "Dare to say it's not delicious and see what happens?"Ronan suddenly burst into laughter, leaving the Everly family bewildered, exchanging confused looks.Octavia Everly complained with a pout, "Ronan, but it's...""It's very delicious," Ronan calmly stated."Ronan, if you like it, should I make it for you every day?" Octavia Everly eagerly looked at him, her eyes revealing unabashed admiration.Ronan didn't even glance at Octavia Everly.He reached out and pinched Lyra's chin playfully, teasingly saying, "Wife, are you satisfied?"Lyra didn't expect him to be so intimate with her in front of the Everly family.She was somewhat annoyed and moved her chin away from his large hand.Octavia Everly watched their interaction, the ambiguity between them almost driving her mad.Under the ta
Octavia Everly's heart almost jumped into her throat.Didn't Orion Everly say that this drug called "Spanish Fire" was effective?Then why does Ronan still have so much strength now?Suddenly, Ronan murmured, "Wife."Octavia Everly was instantly furious!Ronan was still thinking about that little bitch Lyra!She had to sleep with Lyra's man; when she became the Lady of Vale, let's see who dared to look down on her!Octavia Everly pinched her throat and said charmingly, "Ronan, dear... husband..."Ronan chuckled mischievously.Damn it!Why was his head so dizzy?It was Lyra's first time addressing him as her husband!Fortunately, he remembered the doctor's advice very well.During the first three months of Lyra's pregnancy, there absolutely couldn't be any sexual activity.So, no matter how much the person in bed with him tried to entice him, he had to grit his teeth and resist."Wife... why aren't you coming in?" Octavia Everly shamelessly solicited.Ronan teased, "Dear wife, do you w
In the VIP box at Grandeur Gala HubRonan reclined lazily on the sofa, his legs crossed on the coffee table.He held a bottle of alcohol and occasionally took a sip.The amber liquid slid down his sexy Adam's apple and slipped into his unbuttoned white shirt.You could faintly see his wheat-colored skin and well-defined muscles.He personified two words: "tempting devil"!When Damien Cross pushed the door open, this was the breathtakingly beautiful scene he saw.Damien Cross wore a mischievous smile on his face."Ronan, I haven't seen you for a long time. What have you been busy with lately? Haven't seen you out for fun."Damien Cross was a relative of Ronan's, belonging to the subordinate family of Zenith Ventures. He was also a bit of a playboy.The two were close friends, often hanging out together.However, recently, Ronan hadn't been out for fun even once.Today, Ronan called Damien Cross to come to the Grandeur Gala Hub for a drink.Without a word, Damien Cross immediately came.
