Alas, Gabriel's phone started buzzing just then. He nodded at Stephanie before stepping aside to take the call.

With no desire to talk to Jonathan alone, Stephanie turned to leave, but he blocked her path.

"You looked pretty happy talking to my brother just now, Ms. Ford. Why aren't you saying a single word to me now?" Jonathan remarked.

His eyes filled with a hint of lust as he stared at her face. She always looked so stunning whenever he saw her.

"I've got nothing to say to you," Stephanie replied with a frown. "Kindly step aside, Mr. Thorn."

But Jonathan refused to move, which made Stephanie's expression darken. "I'm sure you know very well that this isn't the place for you to cause a ruckus."

"Why not?" Jonathan retorted with a nonchalant smirk. "I already have the reputation for being a good-for-nothing playboy anyway. Even if I cause a scene at a formal event like this, no one will find it strange.

"Besides, I'm not trying to cause a ruckus in the first place. It seemed as

    "Are you okay?" Pierce asked in concern."I'm fine." Aleysha nodded.When she saw Pierce glaring menacingly at Ricky, she quickly tugged on his arm, saying, "Ignore him. He's just some lunatic. Don't dirty your hands over someone like him.""Who are you calling a lunatic?" Clutching his face, Ricky got back on his feet. "You're the one who has feelings for me! Oh. I get it now. You dumped me for this pretty boy, didn't you?""Can you stop spouting your nonsense?" Aleysha was about to explode from her anger. "I've never had any feelings for you!"She quickly turned to Pierce, anxious to explain herself to him.However, Pierce signaled to her that she didn't need to say anything. Then, he shot the restaurant's security guards an icy look. "You're just going to stand there and watch? I guess I need to call your boss and tell him the security team he hired doesn't seem capable of doing their jobs."Alarmed, the security guards hurried over to chase Ricky away."I swear I never like

    Stephanie barely knew Aleysha, and she only got to know Pierce because of Adrian. Therefore, when it came to a topic like this, she figured it was best if she stayed out of it."I can't really explain why myself," Pierce said with a shrug. "Initially, I only helped her out of a sense of duty to right the injustice I saw, but as time went on…"He didn't know why he ended up developing feelings for Aleysha, but that didn't matter. Since he did have feelings for her now, he was going to woo her. It wasn't as if he was opposed to dating someone.When they returned to the country, Alesyha had grumbled to him about her current workplace. It was the perfect opportunity for him to bring her over to Whetman Group as his secretary. This made it even easier for him to win her heart.And from the way Aleysha reacted, it didn't seem like she had any aversion toward him.Adrian remained silent. After holding back for quite some time, Pierce couldn't resist asking, "Don't you have anything you w

    Stephanie, Pierce, and Aleysha arrived at the restaurant almost at the same time as Adrian.As soon as Adrian got out of the car, he saw Stephanie waving at him, which put him in a good mood. He came over and took Stephanie's hand."Has it been a tiring day for you?" he asked."Not at all." Stephanie shook her head. "The meeting went quite smoothly.""Why did you even have to ask? I wouldn't dare let the love of your life get tired," Pierce teased before making an exaggerated bow, like a butler.Ignoring Pierce's joke, Adrian glanced at Aleysha. She seemed to be a little intimidated by the look in his eyes and instinctively cowered behind Pierce."Aleysha is now Pierce's secretary," Stephanie murmured into his ear, which led to an almost imperceptible furrowing of his forehead.Nevertheless, Adrian said nothing. Still holding Stephanie by the hand, he began heading into the restaurant.Noticing that Aleysha seemed a little nervous, Pierce gave her a reassuring smile. "It's fine

    They'd only just got back to the country, but Pierce already made Aleysha his secretary. It seemed as though his feelings for Aleysha…Stephanie recalled that Adrian had previously arranged for someone to look into Aleysha, but the investigation didn't unearth anything unusual. Everything seemed normal and matched what Aleysha told them.Nevertheless, the situation still felt odd somehow.But Stephanie couldn't use her intuition as evidence, so she didn't say anything. She just smiled, saying, "I see.""Ms. Ford." Aleysha glanced at her timidly. "I hope you'll give me lots of guidance in the future."She was dressed in professional attire, yet her sweet, gentle charm remained. Pierce glanced at her, his gaze softening."I look forward to working with you," Stephanie replied with a polite nod.The meeting was about to start, but when they got to the conference room, Pierce said to Aleysha, "Wait outside for us.""I can't join the meetings?" Aleysha looked confused.Pierce just

    Hector's attitude made Amelia furious enough to faint. "How can you act like this?""Oh, forget it. I lost my appetite. Enjoy your meal," Hector said before heading upstairs."Dad! You—"Amelia tried to go after her, but Graham, the Suttons' butler, stopped her."I think it's best if you stop trying to argue with him. He's pretty determined about this. Nothing you say will make a difference," Graham advised with a conflicted expression."This matter affects my son's happiness! How do you expect me not to say anything?" Amelia growled. "You've been working with my dad all along. Do you know why he suddenly changed his mind?""I'm not too sure either," Graham said with a rueful smile.Amelia lost her appetite as well, so she stormed out of the house with a stormy expression. Just as she was getting into the car, she turned around and took one last look at the Sutton residence.Something had to be going on. There was no valid reason for Hector to object to the marriage. He just ke

    Shanice knew this would work. Keith fell for this every time. All she had to do was play the victim, and he would feel as though he owed her.It didn't matter if her sons didn't join the company yet anyway, so long as they inherited the family business later on. As for Wynette, the only thing she could do was hide in the corner and envy them.Shanice's eyes gleamed with smug delight as she envisioned that future.…At noon, Amelia was in the kitchen at the Sutton residence, cooking a meal herself. Hector didn't like eating this style of food much, but he did when she prepared it.Once the table was set, Hector came downstairs."You made the food yourself?" he asked with a smile. "Guess it's my lucky day.""It's been a while since I came back to have a meal with you." Amelia was also smiling. "Try the food and see if my skills have slipped."After sitting down and taking a bite of the steak, he complimented her, "You've improved."Amelia lowered her eyes. While cutting up her o
