2025-03-16 18:00:01"Yep," Clarissa nodded, pausing for a moment before telling Luana the exact amount. "Two hundred thousand."
Her family was in debt for two hundred thousand dollars. Albert had just informed Clarissa and rushed back to settle the debt without even consulting her.
"He used his own money, not mine..." Clarissa added, sensing Luana's concern.
But to Luana, that statement felt a bit off.
Albert had bought their marital home, and Clarissa had been the one helping with the mortgage payments. Yet after they got married, he hadn't handed over the financial reins to her.
If Luana knew that Clarissa's earnings were not only covering the mortgage but also the household expenses, she would probably be even more upset.
Clarissa had actually withheld some of the changes that occurred after their marriage, fearing that Luana would worry.
Seeing Luana's annoyed expression, Clarissa decided to lay everything out. "Albert has changed a bit after we got

Clarissa hurried downstairs, only to find several luxury cars still parked outside.Some windows were rolled down, revealing bodyguards in dark suits sitting inside. She immediately recognized them as Calvert's men.She had thought Calvert had left already, but he was still waiting there. His persistence was something Clarissa had to admire.She walked over and knocked on the window of the first car, but there was no response.Instead, a bodyguard got out of the car behind it."Mr. Coburn said he wants to be alone. Please don't disturb him," the bodyguard said.Clarissa didn't say anything and turned to leave. Just then, the window of the first car rolled down."Clarissa."He still called her by her name, just like when they were kids, and he was as respectful as ever.Clarissa stopped and glanced back at him. His eyes were bloodshot, clearly from crying.He had always been aloof in front of others, but around Lua

After that, Luana never came to find him again, and he was sent by Manfred to undergo training.It took about three years, but with his natural talent, he managed to absorb all the knowledge he needed.When he returned to the Coburn family, he took over the position of CEO from Manfred.At that time, his father, who had been in a vegetative state, hadn't yet woken up, and Manfred had become the chairman.Manfred only lasted a year in the position before he passed away.Not long after, his father finally awoke.Now, the chairman of the Coburn Group is his father, who has only been awake for about a year and naturally doesn't know about the things Manfred did.Recently, Calvert sensed something was off but didn't ask his father.Shortly after his father awoke, he testified in court and sent the uncle who had kidnapped their family to prison.Now the Coburn family has fully regained control, but with such a la

Eva sat in the driver's seat, glaring at Runa with irritation. What an idiot! She had no intention of dealing with Runa. After finishing her reverse, she stepped on the gas and drove away.Runa hadn't expected Eva to be so brazen and was so angry that she clenched her fists, glaring at the speeding car.This Eva—she was just asking for trouble. Runa was determined to make her life miserable in Los Angeles!Runa brushed her straight hair aside and turned to walk into the estate.However, the security guard at the entrance blocked her way."Miss, you can't just go in here," he said.This time, Runa had learned her lesson and didn't make a scene. She simply said coldly, "Mr. Moriarty called me here."The guard replied with an equally cold expression, "Let me verify that."Runa's face darkened instantly. She hadn't expected the guard to check.She told him not to bother and took out her phone to call Cline.Afte

Luana nodded gently in response.Seeing that she didn't want to talk about it, Sabrina didn't press further.She took the handover document from Luana, signed her name on it, and said, "Just hand over everything to me."Without any hesitation, Luana handed over the keys to the database, customer information, and some confidential files to Sabrina.After the handover was complete, Luana got up and headed to the HR department to complete her resignation procedures.Before she could leave the office area, she ran into Joan, who was carrying a stack of documents."Oh, isn't this Mr. Coburn's new favorite? What are you doing here?" Joan's face was full of sarcasm. "Oh, I remember now. Mr. Coburn went back to Washington and didn't take you with him. You got dumped and have nowhere to go, so you had to come back?"Hearing Joan's harsh voice, Sabrina couldn't help but interject, "Luana is here to resign."Joan's face turned sour instan

Albert's hometown was in the suburbs of Los Angeles, just a three-hour drive away, so his explanation made sense. But..."Your sister?"Luana wondered why she had never heard of Albert having a sister.Albert pointed to the woman waiting in the gynecology area and said, "That's her. She's pregnant and couldn't come to the wedding, so you probably haven't met her. Clarissa knows about her; she must have just forgotten to tell you..."The last part of his sentence carried a hint of sarcasm, as if mocking the closeness between Luana and Clarissa.Hearing this, Luana didn't press further, but her gaze toward Albert was no longer as gentle and friendly as before.She turned and walked toward the elevator, but instead of closing the doors immediately, she hid in the corner and kept an eye on the gynecology area.Albert, thinking Luana had left, turned and waved to the pregnant woman in the waiting area.She quickly walked over, and t

At the sound of Clarissa's voice, Albert's action of feeding water paused for a moment, and the pregnant woman also visibly started.As if they had rehearsed it in advance, they quickly regained their composure. Albert first put down the water pot, stood up, and walked over to Clarissa."How did you come here?"Clarissa glanced at him indifferently. Usually, when they ran into each other on the street, he would call her "honey" first, but he didn't today.Her eyes darkened as she looked at the pregnant woman on the hospital bed, feeling an aversion that made her reluctant to respond.Seeing Clarissa's hesitation, Luana quickly stepped in to explain, "I mentioned it to Clarissa. She happened to be nearby and knew your sister was sick, so she came by to check on her..."She gently nudged Clarissa's elbow, prompting her to regain her composure. Clarissa then withdrew her gaze, forced a smile, and handed the fruit basket to Albert."You s

"After I took her home, the house was swarming with creditors. It was chaos. Before I could pay off the debts, Angela took the initiative to clear the family loan. That's when I found out her husband has been making a fortune in South Africa. Ever since he learned about her pregnancy, he's been sending her a regular allowance. I was relieved to hear that."But over a minor disagreement, Angela had a heated argument with our parents. She probably got too emotional and agitated the fetus. Fortunately, it's not serious. The doctor recommended she stay in the hospital for observation, so I arranged for her admission."Albert finished his explanation and pulled a bank card from his pocket, handing it to Clarissa. "I was planning to transfer $200,000 to pay off the debts. Since Angela has already taken care of it, I'll leave this money with you to manage."Clarissa was stunned after hearing his explanation and seeing the card.She looked at Albert, then at Luan

Luana nodded in agreement. "The key issue still lies with his family."This realization struck Clarissa, who hurriedly said, "I'll go to his hometown and ask some neighbors. That should clear things up."Luana quickly grabbed her hand, warning, "Don't go alone. It's too dangerous."Who knew what the situation was like in Albert's hometown? If Clarissa went alone and got into trouble, what would happen?Luana tried to calm her down, saying, "Don't worry. I think Angela can't keep her cool for long. When we find a chance when Albert isn't around, you just provoke her a bit. She might just lay all her cards on the table."Clarissa thought about it and found it made sense.In the ward just now, Angela had almost lost her temper several times. If it weren't for Albert holding her back, she might have already jumped up and confronted Clarissa.It would be safer to approach Angela when Albert wasn't around than to go to his hometown alone.

"Does it hurt?" Luana silently asked herself.Once, she had known pain—excruciating, soul-crushing agony that had left her curled on a cold floor, voiceless and desperate.It had been a pain that stripped away all hope in this man before her, eroding her very will to live. It had been so severe that even in her final moments, when she'd longed for a glimpse of him, he'd refused even a phone call.That pain was no mere physical wound. It was a despair that seeped into her very being.It was after enduring such torment that she had finally seen Cline for what he truly was—a man utterly ruthless toward her.Yet now, here he was, holding her and asking if she hurt. The irony was bitter, almost laughable.With a cold, expressionless face, she said, "The five minutes are up. Let me go."But Cline, who had finally held the person he'd obsessed over, had no intention of releasing her so easily.He held her tight and said, "

Cline held tight to her arm, as if he'd never let go unless Luana gave him a chance to speak.Luana, brows furrowed, sighed and relented, "Five minutes, right here."Cline's cold gaze shifted to Dorian, who shot him a glare before turning to Luana."Five minutes, then home," Dorian warned.Luana nodded meekly, "Okay."Only after Dorian strode into the villa did Luana turn to Cline, her voice cool and impatient."Well?"In Dorian's presence, Luana had been the picture of obedience, just as she used to be with him.Now, though, Cline saw a change in her—calm, distant, and edged with impatience.This new version of Luana only deepened the ache in his chest.He longed to reach out, to brush his fingers against her face, but as his hand rose, she flinched violently, stepping back as if struck.Luana stared at Cline's right hand, her pupils suddenly clouded with fear, as if the ghosts of past trauma had res

Luana nodded in agreement and turned toward the stairs.But after just two steps, she froze, her fingers brushing the banister.Slowly, she turned back, her voice hesitant. "Clarissa, I came back as Dorothy... What about Gehrmann?"Clarissa had guessed that Luana had returned as her sister Dorothy the moment she heard Dorian call her by that name.Clarissa's smile was warm, reassuring. "I won't say a word to him or Cline. Your secret's safe."Relief flickered in Luana's eyes. "Thank you," she whispered, the word soft as a feather.As Luana walked away, Clarissa watched her retreating figure, worry knotting her brow."Is this luck or a curse?" she thought, "Leaving Cline only to be trapped by Dorian."At the car, Luana opened the passenger door and slid in."Home at ten seems early," she ventured, her tone tentative.Dorian glanced over, his indifference palpable. "Make it eight, then."Luana's lips twitched

Clarissa watched Luana's fingers tighten around the phone until her knuckles whitened. "When I first saw those messages flooding in, I tried luring him out myself—posed as you, planned to bring the cops. But instead of catching a creep, I got..."She trailed off, the memory of the man in the café still prickling her nerves.A man as cold and heartless as Cline—why would he cling to memories of Luana like this?"Anyway," she shrugged, "he never showed. Guess some ghosts stay buried."Luana's voice was a whisper. "These things... they should've been my fight. Not yours."Clarissa cut her off, "If it were me in this mess, you'd do the same. So quit with the thanks already."Luana nodded meekly, her lashes drooping as she glanced back at the phone screen.The mystery gnawed at her—Mr. Night's messages reeked of obsession, yet he hid in plain sight. Why?She couldn't fathom it, and frankly, didn't care

"I had no choice but to pull a dumb move—I seduced Gehrmann and took Naomi's spot as his bedwarmer," Clarissa said flatly, her voice echoing off the brick walls."I thought I could use him to get back at Cline. Turns out I was dumber than a bag of hammers—Gehrmann wouldn't lift a finger against Cline for any woman." She kicked at a pebble, watching it skitter into the shadows. "By the time I figured that out, he wouldn't let me walk away."Clarissa shifted her weight, catching Luana's profile in the dim light."But don't you worry, Luana. I ain't falling for Gehrmann's charm. This world's got exactly one good man left—Albion. And he's six feet under."So, I won't be that girl anymore—the one who pours her heart out for every little kindness, even when it's not worth it."Mentioning Albion again made Luana's eyes dim as if the light behind them had been switched off.She lowered her lashes, hiding the sorrow pooling th

Third Person's POVLuana tightly embraced Clarissa, hoping to alleviate her pain.Clarissa, however, patted her back with a smile and said, "It's alright. After finding out the truth, I was devastated for a while, but then I pulled myself together. I installed surveillance cameras and recorded every moment of their infidelity, which I sent to my lawyer."I won the lawsuit, but I couldn't get the house back. I could only recover the mortgage payments, the money I spent on him, and compensation for emotional distress..."However, what I didn't expect was that someone would expose Albert's bigamy online, ruining his reputation. His company fired him, and no other major firms would hire him. As far as I know, his current salary isn't even enough to cover the mortgage. Plus, his mother has cancer, which is why he keeps begging at my door."Clarissa's voice turned cold as she continued, "He thinks I'm still the naive woman I once was, that if he kneels a

Clarissa took a deep breath, opened the bedside table, and took out a marriage certificate, handing it to Luana."You two weren't entirely meant to miss each other. At least he kept his promise from when you were young and married you."Seeing the marriage certificate, Luana's eyes welled up.She reached out and slowly unfolded it...Name: LuanaName: AlbionBeside them was a composite photo of the two, dressed in white shirts, with a red background, their faces beaming with happiness.When Luana was eighteen, she had asked Albion, "When are you going to marry me?"Albion, engrossed in a book at the time, looked up and playfully tapped her nose with his pen, saying, "When I'm capable of giving you happiness."Luana pouted, dissatisfied, "But when will that be?"Albion held up his book and replied, "After I've mastered all this knowledge and become someone worthy, then I'll marry you."Luana rested her chin

Last time, it was her negligence that failed to keep Albion by her side. This time, she was determined to do everything in her power to protect Luana.Clarissa raised her hand and gently patted Luana's shoulder, hoping to offer some warmth.Time ticked by, and they remained in the same position until a man in a gray suit approached.Clarissa looked up at him, noticing his gaze fixed on Luana, and her tension grew.Before she could inquire about his identity, the man stepped forward and gently pushed Luana's head with his slender fingers."It's ten o'clock. It's time to go home..."Luana, recognizing Dorian's voice, didn't lift her head, her lifeless eyes fixed on the floor.Dorian frowned at her silence, then bent down slightly and spoke patiently, "Dorothy, come home with me."Luana raised her weary head and said, "I don't want to go home today..."She wanted to stay and support Clarissa, to quietly live for herself for

She couldn't believe it. Even with the news reports and Clarissa's own words, she still refused to accept it.Albion, the gentle and considerate young man who had cherished her, how could he have taken his own life in such a tragic way? It was impossible.Luana shook her head in disbelief. "No, he wouldn't do this..."Clarissa stepped forward and embraced Luana. She felt Luana's body growing cold, and her heart ached."Luana, I don't want to believe it either, but..."Clarissa's words trailed off, tears streaming down her face.Three years ago, fearing Albion might do something rash, she had followed him to the cemetery.There, she found no sign of Albion, only bloodstains on the tombstone.Her unease grew as she searched for him, but he was nowhere to be found.The next day, the news reported that Coburn Group's CEO, Calvert, had committed suicide at the cemetery.Only then did she realize Albion had truly done s
