Today is Edward's last day attending a meeting with Emaar Properties. As scheduled, tomorrow morning he will return to London and begin carrying out the agreed-upon tasks. Together with Nicholas, early in the morning, he has already headed to the meeting building.However, when he arrived and was about to enter the room, Edward's eyes caught a sight he didn't like. A man whom he hadn't seen in a long time was in the building and the same room today. He even greeted him without hesitation."Sebastian Eduardo Martin. It's such a pleasure to meet you again after all this time."Edward turned. He used his eyes to scan the appearance of the man in front of him from head to toe. A moment later, he responded with a flat expression."Arsene Tobias Geraldo. I'm sure this is not a coincidence. God doesn't joke around like that, right?"The man named Arsene chuckled so lightly."Why should we blame God when the two of us accidentally meet? Have I done something so terrible to you that you refuse

After returning from a business trip in Turkey a few days ago, Edward's demeanor completely changed, 180 degrees from before. Chloe never saw the warm, teasing, or playful side of him again.Edward became someone cold and seemingly indifferent. He left for work very early in the morning while Chloe was still asleep and returned home very late. They hardly ever had direct interactions or conversations.For instance, this morning, when Chloe opened her eyes, she once again didn't find Edward beside her. Asking the household assistant, she got the same answer she received every day."Mr. Edward left early, ma'am. He seemed to be in a hurry today and didn't even have time for breakfast," explained Leta. "But before he left..." Leta continued, "Mr. Edward specifically asked us to make sure you finish the breakfast provided."Having just finished her milk, Chloe immediately retorted, "Why doesn't he tell me directly? What a strange man!"Leta was unsure how to respond. She also didn't under

After weighing and considering all the consequences that would happen, Chloe finally decided to visit Edward during lunchtime. For her, it didn't matter if this time she gave in by following Samuel's advice to visit her husband at his office first.Driving her own vehicle, the beautiful woman arrived at the Quantum building and was warmly welcomed by the employees there. After all, who didn't know Chloe? The beautiful woman who had recently married the newest CEO of Quantum.Along the corridors of the building, Chloe kept smiling. She was friendly to anyone who deliberately greeted her as they crossed paths.When she was about to take the elevator, she even accidentally bumped into Nicholas. Politely, Edward's assistant greeted her and even offered to accompany her to his office."Mr. Edward has just finished a meeting. Right now, he's in his office."Chloe nodded. "Has he had lunch?""As far as I know, not yet, ma'am," Nicholas replied. "In these past few days, your husband has been

After a three-hour and forty-five-minute flight, Edward and Chloe arrived at Ataturk Airport at seven in the evening. It was the largest airport in Turkey. Upon disembarking, a special officer received and escorted them to the hotel.Feeling cold due to the heavy rain in Istanbul, Chloe immediately lay on the bed without changing her clothes when they reached the room.On the other hand, Edward hurried to freshen up. Afterward, he grabbed his laptop from his bag and reviewed the presentation materials for tomorrow's internal meeting with major investors. He worked on it until late at night.The next morning, as dawn approached, Edward prepared everything he needed by himself. He decided not to wake Chloe, realizing she must be exhausted from the long flight. Only when he was about to leave did he approach her to bid farewell, concerned that she might wake up and wonder where he had gone."Chloe..." he called, gently stroking her cheek and forehead. "I have to leave now."Chloe, who ha

"Morning, sweetheart... did you sleep well?"Edward's voice faintly reached Chloe amid the pounding sensation in her head. She massaged her forehead, trying to open her eyes to respond to her husband's greeting."Was I drunk last night?" Her hoarse voice sought an explanation.Edward, who was getting ready, turned. While adjusting his tie, he approached and sat right next to his wife. The citrus and mint aroma from the perfume Edward wore sharply filled Chloe's sense of smell."Not just drunk. You were even a handful last night." Edward then handed a glass of apple juice, which he had prepared for Chloe to drink. "Finish this juice. Hopefully, it will help relieve the headache and nausea you're feeling now."Chloe complied. She slowly sipped the drink Edward offered. "I'm only drunk like this because of you," she protested, then handed him the empty glass from the juice she had finished."Why is it always my fault?" Edward raised an eyebrow in puzzlement. But in Chloe's eyes, he never

Chloe read the report in the email that Samuel had intentionally sent to her. She concentrated hard to understand the information provided by her assistant.She investigated for a long time. Needing further clarification, she decided to call Samuel."Sam, are you sure about the report you sent me this time?""Of course. Please double-check, ma'am. In the same year when Ms. Nathalie passed away, it's mentioned that Mr. Edward wasn't in a relationship with anyone.""It's possible that he was involved with Nathalie but the media didn't know about it." Chloe responded."Please take a look at the reports I attached in the email. Almost all the women who dated Mr. Edward were introduced to the public. That means he's the type of man who never hides his relationships. I dare to conclude that your husband has never been in a relationship with Ms. Nathalie.""Okay, even if Edward didn't have a relationship with Nathalie. Then why was his business card in her purse? And why did Nathalie order m

"Instead of making people disappear, I can't bear to hurt women. There's no need to go far, when I feel a need, why would I bother looking for someone else when you willingly gave yourself to me.""I could have taken advantage of you last night while you were unconscious. But, once again, I want to emphasize that I'm not a wicked man like you imagine."Those sentences kept replaying like a broken cassette in Chloe's mind. What Edward said last night managed to disturb her thoughts.Chloe was clearly torn. On one hand, she felt Edward was being honest last night, but on the other hand, all the evidence she had received from Nathalie before pointed to her husband. So what should she do now? Should she continue with all the plans she had prepared, or should she stop and learn to make peace with the deep-seated hatred she had all this time?Chloe actually aspired to live a normal life like an ordinary person. However, when she remembered Nathalie, an aura of pain and vengeance instantly e

Since the morning, Edward had been busy dealing with a pile of files on his desk. Nicholas had warned him several times to take a break and rest for a while, fearing that his boss would exhaust himself and face fatal consequences.However, being the hard worker that he was, Edward was determined not to stop until he finished what he was working on. He continued to focus until Ariana entered the room to inform him of something."What is it, Ariana? Is there another file I need to check?" Edward asked without even turning his head.Ariana smiled faintly and responded politely, "I'm sorry, Mister, I'm interrupting your activities. But there's someone outside who wants to meet you."Edward lifted his face, looking at his secretary with a questioning expression. "Who else wants to meet me this time?""A man, Mister," Ariana replied, waiting for her boss's response. "His name is Samuel."Edward's eyebrows almost touched. He briefly wondered why Chloe's assistant suddenly came to visit. Intr

Now, it was Samuel's turn to sigh in frustration. It seemed that what he had thought all along was right: Edward wasn't the man responsible for Nathalie's death. From his movements alone, Samuel could deduce that Edward was being honest with his confession."Thus...," Samuel paused his sentence for a moment. He must have taken countless breaths before continuing the story. "Mrs. Nathalie passed away a few years ago. At the end of her life, she asked Mrs. Chloe to find a man. I don't know the exact purpose or intention. But Mrs. Chloe believed that the man she was looking for was the one behind her sister's death."Edward furrowed his brows."Don't tell me Chloe accuses me of causing her sister's death?"Samuel confirmed himself once more. Ready or not, he was determined to reveal what he had known all this time. He did it to protect Chloe from a great deal of trouble. Yes, Samuel needed to act quickly. He didn't want many parties to suffer from these baseless accusations."Unfortunate

Hans rolled up the sleeves of his black shirt until his elbows as he just arrived in Edward's room. He immediately took a casual seat on the guest sofa.Before the conversation could continue, there was a knock on the door. A moment later, Ariana entered with a tray carrying two cups of coffee. She politely served them and then left."Nic..." Edward called firmly to his loyal assistant, who stood not far away. "Please leave us for a moment. I have something important to discuss with Hans."Nicholas nodded in understanding. "Alright, Mister." The young man promptly left, leaving Edward and Hans alone in the room."So, what's the topic of our discussion this time?" Hans asked impatiently. "I was actually planning to meet you this weekend to give you a report about Chloe's birth mother."Edward loosened his tie, which was tightly wrapped around his neck. He took off his jacket and placed it haphazardly somewhere. He looked visibly agitated now."If I tell you, you might be shocked," Edwa
