Zoey understood what Laurence was trying to say. It was his personal property, so she had no right to use their marriage against his decision. It wasn't up to her to decide who got to stay on the property, nor did she have the right to interfere with his decision. Zoey silently drew a deep breath and steadied her breathing to compose herself. She needed to be collected to talk rationally with him instead of giving the impression that she was acting on her emotions. She pursed her discolored lips. “Are you going to see her?” Zoey was determined not to let the precious opportunity slip right out of her hands. She finally saw a glimmer of hope. It was like the dawn before the sunrise. At the very least, she wanted a fair trial. Zoey was uncertain whether Laurence would offer Sarah another helping hand if the latter asked.Although Zoey didn't learn much about Laurence’s family, she'd heard of his father’s name on TV despite not keeping up with the current events. It was a piece of

Zoey fell asleep. She didn’t hear what Laurence said.“Maybe I really am going mad,” he thought. He never used to care about spending time with her, but now time together seemed so precious. Deep inside, he knew that Zoey was waiting for the contract to end so that she could leave him.If they had a child together, their bond would never be completely severed. After all, blood was thicker than water. Laurence did not want to have a child with Zoey just to save their marriage. Nonetheless, he couldn’t help but think that perhaps she wouldn’t be in such a hurry to leave him if they had a child. Maybe she would hesitate because of the child. He felt he didn’t hate kids anymore, even though they were noisy. He could even stand the sound of babies crying now.Laurence thought about a lot of things. Suddenly, he felt Ryan had made a smart choice when he got married and had kids right after graduation. Now, he had a happy family. He came back to his senses and caressed Zoey’s ears. She was

Robert wasn't young anymore. He looked like his soul had been sucked out of his body, making him look old and weak. The lawyer's words were the final blow to any hope he had left. His whole life had been a smooth journey, and he had never suffered any hardships except when he married Janet Fulton. Besides the disapproval and scorn he got from her relatives, he had never endured any other struggles. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that he had lived like a king.Robert lost control of his emotions and said viciously, "I paid so much money. You must find a way. I don't care. I'm not going to jail! They have no evidence. They're just talking nonsense!" He was panting from exerting himself too much. The lawyer was much calmer. "Mr. Jenner, as far as the evidence the prosecution currently holds, the future is not looking too bright for you. I suggest you ask for understanding from the victims' family in favor of the judge's consideration before the sentencing."Robert flew into a grea

Laurence caught a cold, leaving him with a sore throat and a discolored complexion. Since his whereabouts that night were none of Zoey’s concern, she said bluntly, “There’s food in the kitchen if you’re hungry.” Laurence coughed until rosiness crept onto his drained face. He acknowledged her instruction and stopped near her while on his way to the kitchen. “I’m fine if the food gets soggy and gross.” Zoey fell silent for a while. Pretending she didn’t understand what he meant, she hung her head and answered quietly, “But it’ll lose its flavor.”Laurence pressed his lips tightly together and retorted, “I’m not fussy.” It was strange of him to make that statement. Zoey would never label Laurence as “not fussy”. Laurence went to the kitchen to heat the food up while Zoey watched TV in the living room since she had nothing better to do. The arrest of Crescent Construction’s former boss came on the news. The press had caught Robert being taken into custody on video. Since the c

Zoey believed she was only there to be Laurence’s eye candy. The dean had no idea about the black mark on Zoey’s academic record. After learning from Laurence that his wife was a former student in the school of design, the dean called the head of the design school over to exchange pleasantries. The school head still remembered Zoey. He was caught in the moment, staring at her face that had not aged one bit. The school head was in for another surprise when he moved his gaze to Laurence. There was a reason why the school head retained a memory of Zoey despite the influx of students in the school every year. There were few plagiarism cases, to begin with, but hers took the cake. Enrolling in the college wasn’t easy. After all, everybody wanted to get into the top college in Northwell. Most students who were admitted to the college were the best of the best, excelling in knowledge and character. Of course, there was still a possibility that a small number of unethical individuals w
