Edward took a moment to breathe. Any layperson would think the same as Hans. But deep down in his heart, he believed that Chloe's assistant had spoken the truth."This time, I trust Samuel, Hans. He convinced me that he doesn't want Chloe to target the wrong person and get into bigger trouble. And there's something else you need to know."Hans raised an eyebrow. "What is it?""This is about Damian Dimitri," Edward replied with a hint of reluctance. It was clear that he didn't like mentioning his cousin's name."What else do you have to do with that damn kid, Ed? He's always been a thorn in your side."Edward laughed for a moment. Hans knew very well that Edward and Damian had been at odds for a long time."I don't know how it started, but somehow Damian dared to approach my wife and work together to destroy me. Sounds intriguing, doesn't it?""Damn crazy!" Hans exclaimed loudly. "I've been telling you all along, why don't you just put him in jail? That guy really enjoys causing troubl

For some reason, Chloe suddenly visited Edward's office this afternoon. Accompanied by Samuel, she arrived at the Quantum building and headed straight to her husband's workspace.However, unfortunately, when she entered the room, Chloe didn't find Edward there. According to the information she got from Ariana, her husband was currently leading a meeting and was expected to finish in thirty minutes.While waiting, Chloe decided to read some business books available in Edward's office. But after a few minutes engrossed in her reading, her gaze shifted to the laptop on the desk.Quickly, Chloe got up and approached the laptop. She turned it on and started searching for something."I need to find the documents that Quantum is working on for Emaar Properties. That project is of utmost importance right now."Continuing to inspect the data, Chloe finally found what she was looking for. She hurriedly went to her shopper bag on the guest table, took out a flash drive, and returned to Edward's

Edward walked wearily and slightly fatigued. He had just arrived home and was about to enter the bedroom. Glancing at the circular watch on his wrist, it showed seven o'clock in the evening. Today's workload had drained his energy and mind so much that he had to come home late.As he entered the room, Edward didn't find Chloe there. However, his hearing caught the sound of water splashing, indicating that his wife was currently busy in the bathroom.Sitting down at the dressing table, Edward began to take off his jacket and loosened the tie around his neck. As he was about to stand up, his eyes unintentionally caught a picture that caught his attention. He saw clearly on Chloe's phone screen that someone had just sent her a text message. And the problem was, Damian Dimitri's name was printed there. What on earth was that guy sending a text message to his wife for? What business did they have behind his back?Edward approached slowly, leaning forward and squinting one eye, trying to re

Patricia nodded."My relationship with Dylan, Chloe's father, was never approved by his parents from the beginning. Perhaps because I wasn't wealthy or noble like them. When Nathalie and Chloe were born, we were separated. I heard that both my children were even placed in an orphanage." Patricia recounted with teary eyes. It hurt so much to remember the past events that had befallen her small family. "I was even banished far outside London. Luckily, one of Mrs. Victoria's bodyguards showed compassion and spared my life, going against orders. He chose to set me free, but with the condition that I must not resurface, or my life would be taken as a consequence.""Oh my God!" Edward couldn't help but exclaim in frustration mixed with sadness upon hearing his mother-in-law's story."For years, I lived in Milan, Italy. Three years ago, I returned to London. I was struggling because I didn't have much money, and by chance, I met Sisilia." Patricia looked at Sisilia again, reaching for the wo

Samuel got up from his seat, followed by Edward, who also stood and approached Samuel, extending his hand to shake his assistant's hand."Thank you very much, Sam. I hope everything can be resolved as we hoped for all this time. Truly, I want to have a normal relationship with Chloe."Once again, Samuel nodded in agreement. After all, he believed that Edward was the right person to accompany Chloe."Then, I'll take my leave. If there's any important information, I'll report it to you immediately."A few minutes after Samuel left Edward's office, Hans, who had been silently listening all this time, spoke."Ed, why didn't you tell Samuel about Chloe's birth mother being found?"Edward shook his head. "Not now, Hans. I think it's better to focus on solving Nathalie's case for the next few days. If everything is settled, then I'll tell Chloe about her mother being found."Hans nodded, understanding that Edward probably had carefully considered all the plans and possibilities.***Edward h
