The office's floor-to-ceiling windows spanned an entire wall, flooding the room with brilliant light, illuminating the city beneath the night's cloak, rendering it even more vibrant than it appeared during daylight hours.David extricated himself from the mountain of documents, rising from his seat to stretch his somewhat stiff hands and feet.Despite having industry elites leading each department in the large group, capable of handling most matters directly, some crucial decisions invariably awaited his approval. Even if they only required two or three days of his attention, the cumulative workload formed a substantial stack on his desk.To the world, David was seen as the omnipotent president of the Oregon Group of Companies, endowed with immense wealth. However, few realized the enormous pressure and responsibilities he carried on his shoulders.He had grown accustomed to this responsibility, never once considering evading it from the moment he accepted the role. Yet, recently, his

Rowan has been enjoying a peaceful and contented life in recent days. It can even be described as a period of happiness. She consistently manages to leave work on time every day, and her colleagues are not only friendly but also maintain a harmonious atmosphere. Occasionally, they playfully tease her and James, but there is never any malicious intent behind their banter. Upon returning home from work, Rowan is pleasantly surprised to find that Jessica has already prepared dinner for a few people. No matter what she decides to cook, Jessica always includes one or two light dishes that are suitable for Rowan during her pregnancy, showing great consideration for her tastes. This level of care makes Rowan feel genuinely touched and a bit embarrassed at times. After dinner, Rowan takes a leisurely stroll outside, accompanied by her dog, and spends quality time playing with Ryan when she's back home. Each day feels fulfilling and rich. Despite the relatively short time she has known Jessi

Rowan couldn't help but ask, "Have you seen that necklace?"The man's smile remained, but there was a hint of bitterness tugging at the corners of his mouth.Without attempting to offer an explanation, he reassured Rowan, "I'll clarify things with them later and request that they release you first. I truly apologize for getting you involved in this today."His sincerity in those words stood in stark contrast to the cynicism he had displayed earlier when the man in the suit was present.Rowan found herself puzzled, unsure which version of the man was the real one."You..." Originally, Rowan had intended to question him about why he had attempted to steal the necklace. However, she changed her inquiry on the spot, saying, "How did you manage to take it? Such a valuable item wouldn't be left casually out in the open for anyone to touch."The young man lowered his gaze, and his tone grew more solemn. "It's nothing extraordinary. I didn't even succeed in getting away with it, so it can't b

Rowan had never been to a police station in her life. Unexpectedly, today because of an unintentional act of a 17-year-old boy, he was forced to follow him to the police station for tea.Although facing the two suspects, the policemen in blue uniforms actually had a good attitude and were not as arrogant as often reported in the news on the Internet.After arranging for Rowan and Kate to record confessions respectively, he took them to the police office and talked to them about the current situation."The witnesses and physical evidence are relatively complete, and you have admitted the theft. The owner now wants to deal with it strictly. If this is the case, we can only detain you first. Later, we will arrange for an appraisal center to conduct a price appraisal on the necklace. If the amount is huge, you may also be sued.”The policeman explained in a business-like tone. Hearing this, Kate was not surprised.Pointing at Rowan, Victor asked, "What about her? Can you let her go firs

Ascending the stairs from the elevator, Rowan reached his front door, contemplating David's unusual behavior throughout the day. The memory of David's cryptic parting words lingered in his mind.Rowan wondered aloud, "Should I explain it to her?"His mind raced as he tried to make sense of what he might have misunderstood. After several moments of deliberation, he turned the key in the door lock, still without a clue."I guess I'll have to put it on hold for now," Rowan thought to himself.As he entered his home, he made his way to the entrance and stood before the shoe cabinet, calling out, "I'm back."In response, a flurry of hurried footsteps echoed from a distance. Jessica appeared, wearing a slightly anxious expression. She scanned Rowan from head to toe before letting out a relieved sigh."Are you okay? Why are you back so late?" she asked with genuine concern.Rowan, hesitant to reveal the truth about his visit to the police station, offered a reassuring smile in response. I w
