Gath's heart jolted, and searing pain made his dark, deep eyes instantly flash with cold fury.
He grabbed Eva by the neck and slammed her against the car window, gnashing his teeth, "You're barren. Who else would have you? Only I want you. And you dare to dump me for someone else. Who gave you the guts?"
Upon hearing this, Eva's body shuddered with fury, nearly prompting her to discard her facade.
She clenched her fists, repeatedly reminding herself to stay calm, then lifted her lashes to look at Gath.
In his furious eyes, she saw more care than ever before.
Over the years, he had been slowly letting her into his heart.
So Eva, don't rush. It'll happen soon.
Soon, Gath will get his just desserts!
Russell quickly located the information and sent it to Cline.
Cline sat by the floor-to-ceiling window, his sharp fingers skillfully holding a wine glass.
Sipping his red wine, he scrolled through his phone with his lean
Cline stroked the knife, his indifferent eyes coldly regarding Merlin. "Mr. Coburn, it's high time the public knew about the hit you ordered on Calvert three years ago."Merlin's face drained of color. He stared at Cline in disbelief. "You... how could you..."He wanted to ask how Cline knew but feared admitting guilt, so he kept quiet.Cline curled his lips slightly. "I also know that you were the mastermind behind the kidnapping of the Calvert family thirty years ago."Merlin's body stiffened. His heart sank, and a chill spread through him, making him tremble with fear.Back then, to secure the inheritance, he had plotted and ordered the attack on his eldest brother's family, letting his third brother take the fall.He thought the plan was foolproof, but this young man seemed to know the truth.Who on earth was he?Merlin's gaze turned from disdain to horror. "Who are you?"Cline glanced at him, clearly losing patience

Ramona was an outstanding surgeon at her hospital. She was beautiful, kind-hearted, and gentle.It was a pity that Russell had been too preoccupied with eating to pay her much attention—a classic case of Russell's behavior.Ramona, however, was understanding: "It's okay. I'm usually busy with work too."Eva nodded with a smile, suddenly at a loss for words to ease the awkward atmosphere Russell had created.Ramona glanced at her, demonstrating strong social skills. She picked up her knife and fork, speared a piece of steak, and took a hearty bite."Russell was here just now, making me too nervous to eat. Thankfully, he's gone. Otherwise, I'd have starved..."Ramona's uninhibited eating put Eva at ease.As they chatted and ate, Gath entered with a lady.The moment he spotted Eva, he instinctively tried to let go of the lady's hand, but Eva caught the motion.However, Eva hid her feelings, pretended not to notice, an
Luana sobbed in his arms, her tears falling uncontrollably...He held her, gently patting her back to comfort her, while swallowing his own pain.Once Luana calmed down, he released her and said, "I tore your wedding dress. I'll get you a new one."Luana replied softly, "No need..."Cline forced a bitter smile and made a call to Russell after getting up from the bed."Bring over a set of women's clothes."Russell, on the other end, quickly went to the mall to buy the clothes.Cline turned his head and looked at Luana, who was huddled in the quilt, "Hang in there. Once the clothes arrive, I'll send you home."Luana lowered her head, rested her chin on her knees, and didn't respond. Her dim eyes stared blankly at the quilt.Cline, worried his presence might make her uneasy, forced himself to leave.Russell soon arrived at Mansion No. 8 with a set of clothes. After removing the tags, he handed them to Cline, who was sitting on the living room sofa."Mr. Moriarty, shall I prepare medicine
He muttered to himself, then suddenly roared like a madman, "Do I need you to repay me? Everything I did for you was willingly. Yet you use my willingness to hurt me? Do you think I don't feel pain, or that I deserve your mistreatment?""I don't owe you or Albion any money. Why do you use money to humiliate me?!""I've already let you go. Why are you and he here to torment me? Do you want to drive me to death?"After his outburst, he pressed his forehead against hers and asked in a trembling voice, "Luana, would you be happy if I died..."Luana was taken aback by his words and looked into his eyes, "What do you want me to do? The money you spent on me feels like a heavy stone on my heart. It's crushing me. I have to repay it..."Cline shook his head gently, "I don't want your money. I just want you, Luana. Please come back to me..."His magnetic voice was filled with pleading. His peach-blossom eyes stared at her, hoping she would respond as
Luana was intimidated by his gaze and hurriedly lifted her wedding dress to find Clarissa.But as she passed him, he suddenly grabbed her arm and pulled her back into the fitting room.The moment the curtain closed, he pinned her against the wall.He looked down at her wedding dress and sneered, "Congratulations on finally marrying your beloved."Luana struggled desperately but was immobilized by his grip.She looked up at Cline with clear eyes and said, "You promised not to disturb me again."Cline's face was filled with mockery. "You said you were just taking care of him, yet now you're having a wedding. If you weren't marrying him, do you think I'd come like a madman?"After the mockery, he gently touched her cheek, his eyes betraying longing and reluctance. "You know how much I love you, yet you're still having this wedding. What does that make me to you?"Luana turned her head away from his touch, her tone polite and dista
