Charlie Sr. was seething with anger. He had never expected Chloe to behave so unreasonably, calling his son Caleb instead of Charlie Jr. In his eyes, Chloe had lost her mind."You need to put an end to this madness right now," he spat out coldly, his face contorted with rage and a vein bulging on his forehead.Chloe retorted playfully, "Or what?"Charlie Sr. sneered, "Or else you won't be welcome in Houston anymore."Chloe laughed loudly, causing Charlie Sr.'s face to darken further. "Charlie, if I have to leave Houston, I'll take Caleb with me. Think about that," she said with a wide smile.Enraged, Charlie Sr. lunged forward and grabbed Chloe by the neck."Dad, what are you doing?" Charlie Jr. emerged from his room, completely taken aback by the sight before him.Charlie Jr. quickly moved towards Chloe and pulled her back, sensing her distress.

Charlie Sr. grew increasingly concerned upon hearing Margret's response. He didn't comprehend Chloe's intentions and felt powerless to intervene and prevent any potential harm."Charlie, is something wrong?" Margret inquired, sensing his distress.Charlie Sr. proceeded to detail Chloe and Charlie Jr.'s visit, including the matter of their proposed marriage."Charlie, could you look into this further? Chloe can't have transformed into a completely different person overnight. I'm also eager to meet the girl and learn more," Margret urged him from the other end."Okay," Charlie Sr. agreed before ending the call.*****Charlie Jr. entered his office with his assistant, Salvation, and Chloe followed closely behind. "Good morning, President Charlie Jr.," greeted Salvation with a smile. "As the president of White Group, you receive a salary, and we've attached a convoy for your safety and convenience."Chloe's expression turned sour as she interjected, "Please address him as President Caleb

Stella appeared distressed as she furrowed her eyebrows, and Margret's face transformed with anxiety upon realizing she had misspoken. "I'm sorry if my question made you uncomfortable. I simply wanted to learn about your childhood and how you met my son. I hope I'm not asking too much," Margret said with a smile, attempting to alleviate the tension.Stella's eyes lit up as she reminisced about the time Caleb first approached her while she was sitting beneath a tree. It was a memory that she held dear and would never forget. Margret clicked her tongue and asked, "Did you happen to attend Garden High School?"Stella's expression twitched at the question. Her mother had not had the means to pay for her schooling, let alone for an elite institution such as Garden High School. Her medical studies had been sponsored by Doctor Kira.As Stella spoke, she informed Mrs. Charlie, "Just so you know, my mother wasn't wealthy, and I attended a public school." Margaret paused, her brow furrowed as

Charlie Jr. pleaded with his mother, Margaret, and her expression changed dramatically as she hesitated to reply. Eventually, giving in to his emotional pleas, she sighed and reluctantly agreed, "Alright."Charlie Jr. wrapped his arms around Margaret in a tight embrace, overjoyed with her decision. "Thank you so much, Mom," he exclaimed gratefully.Margaret hugged her son back before leaving his office, feeling uneasy and sighing heavily until she reached her car.

Caleb approached Stella with a happy expression, but she was in a daze as she stared at him. To her surprise, they looked exactly alike. Suddenly, a painful memory came flooding back to her when she met Charlie Jr. at the hospital years ago, and he didn't remember her."Stella, do you still remember me?" Caleb asked eagerly as he approached her.Just then, Charlie Jr. coughed, interrupting them. "Hey bro, this is my wife Stella," he said.Caleb's expression darkened as he looked at Charlie Jr. and then turned back to Stella. "What happened? You promised to wait for me," he said, his tone full of confusion and hurt.Stella's heart trembled as she struggled to understand what was happening. She quickly asked the first question that came to mind. "And what is your name?" she asked Caleb.Caleb furrowed his eyebrows, taken aback by her question. He hesitated for a moment before responding, "It's me, Caleb. Don't you remember me?"Stella's face showed evident shock as she looked back and f
