Toph paused, then he smiled, ruffling Renee's hair affectionately."I really want to marry you soon, too," he said gently. "But... Aunt Kaitlyn just passed, so it might not be appropriate for us to have the wedding now.""Toph, do you also believe in these things?""I'm not superstitious," Toph explained seriously. "It's just human nature. To hold a wedding immediately after a funeral, the outsiders might think—""Do you care a lot about what others think?"Toph furrowed his brow, at a loss for words. He felt that Renee was somewhat different.No, it was not just today. Since Kaitlyn's death, it was as if all of Renee's happiness had been taken away along with her mother. She became sensitive and suspicious and rarely smiled or spoke. Her once introverted personality had become even more gloomy and melancholic.Toph tried his best to make her happy. But he knew it wouldn't be easy for her to feel better quickly. Losing her mother had been hard, especially because she was there w

Cordelia nodded and smiled tenderly, leaning against him. After spending most of their lives together, he was still her haven and her superhero.-It had been over a month since Lena joined the Thompson Group. Her first paycheck was not substantial, but the amount left her content compared to before.The only regret was that it was just the base salary, whereas her colleagues were all rejoicing, clearly receiving significant performance bonuses. Some of them could even afford to buy a small sports car with their bonuses.Lena bit her lip. Honestly, she did not envy their ability to earn a lot of money. Money had long become something external to her. What she regretted was not selling a single property in this past month, not achieving any results, and disgracing Lina.While sitting at her desk, someone unexpectedly patted her shoulder. She turned around, surprised to see Jade standing there with a gentle smile."Feeling good about receiving your first month's salary?"Lena hurr

"You..." Jacquelin was rendered speechless and panting. She glared at Lena before turning around abruptly, only to stumble due to her high heels and twist her foot."Ah!" Jacquelin screamed as she stumbled forward, crashing into the wall.The colleagues passing by stifled their laughter and quickly moved away.Lena watched silently, shaking her head and giving Jacquelin a contemptuous look."Lena!" After Jacquelin steadied herself, she shouted at Lena's retreating figure, "You just wait!"Lena waved without looking back and walked away with an air of indifference.In reality, she really wanted to mess with this woman. During her days struggling at the bottom of society, encountering revolting people was common, so flipping the bird and using foul language had become a necessary skill for survival.In theory, even a hundred Jacquelines wouldn't match up to her. Yet, she held back the urge to teach her a lesson at that moment. It wasn't due to anything else but her association wit

Lena stood still in her place. Chris was equally stunned.The young woman felt someone looking at her and widened her eyes upon turning and seeing Chris."What are you doing here?"Lena's expression changed subtly. She felt like an unnecessary person caught in the middle."Hey, Chris!" The young woman patted him on the arm. "What are you doing here? You don't recognize me anymore? Hey, why are you shrinking away?"Chris was evasive and kept looking at Lena."What's the matter with you?" The young woman was exasperated. "I'm Arya Bayer. Pretending you don't know me?""I do recognize you!" Chris felt like he was about to die. How could he run into her here?"Is this beautiful young lady with you? Aren't you going to introduce us?"Lena paused and looked at her.Arya didn't fit the mold of a typical beauty. She lacked delicate features and had a pleasantly plump appearance. Her complexion was fair, and she sported bushy eyebrows along with large eyes. Her smile revealed two char

Lina's heart thumped inexplicably as if she had done something wrong.She forced a chuckle. "Renee, why are you rummaging through my things?""Is this intended for Lena?" Renee emphasized.Lina paused, seeming unhappy. She gazed at Renee and nodded slightly. "It's meant for her. Lenny is working, and coworkers judge by looks. If she doesn't carry something good, they might think less—"Before she could finish, Renee spoke coldly. "Why didn't you think to get me something valuable to carry when I was working at the Thompson Group?""Renee!" Lina widened her eyes. "What are you talking about?""She caused my mother's death!" Renee snapped the box closed and tossed it onto the sofa, where it immediately rebounded. "Why is it that each and every one of you treats her like a savior and treats her so well?!""Renee?" Lina looked at her in disbelief.Was the gentle and kind girl she knew in the past gone with Kaitlyn's suicide?The present Renee was full of resentment, treating Lena
