It was Lessie who had called her. "Am I speaking to Clara?" Lessie asked."Yes, it's me." Clara wondered why Lessie would call her suddenly. Given their past interactions, she expected Lessie to hate her. "Clara, I know I wasn't kind to you back then. I’m calling to let you know that Wilson refuses to divorce you and won’t clarify anything to the public. Birch Group's stock is fluctuating, and the rival company is trying to suppress our stock price and take the chance to buy our shares. The situation would be bad for us if this continues," Lessie said.Clara pursed her lips and said, "I've already signed the divorce agreement. It’s with Wilson. If he wants to file for a divorce, he can do it anytime. If he doesn’t, there’s nothing I can do. If you want us to go through the divorce quickly, you should persuade him, not me."Clara's tone was polite but distant.Lessie was stunned momentarily. "I... I don’t want you guys to divorce so soon. I want you to act lovey-lovey with Wil

Karleigh desperately defended herself. "Danny, who told you that?! Let’s confront that guy! You shouldn’t simply believe what others say easily!” "Confront?" Danny threw the file at her. "Look for yourself. Do you think that a confrontation still works?”Karleigh's expression changed. Everything she had painstakingly concealed was laid out before her. "Where did you get this?" Karleigh asked while trembling."I wish I knew. It was on my desk when I came into the study," Danny replied angrily.Karleigh suddenly recalled what Coco's boyfriend had said before. "Every single detail about your past will be on your boyfriend’s table within three days.”Today was the third day! A chill ran down her spine as thought of Lucas. "I’m being slandered! This must be Coco's boyfriend's doing!" Karleigh exclaimed. "Remember we had a conflict with him at the jewelry counter? He must have done this to break us up!"Danny’s expression changed. He didn’t agree with Karleigh. He wondered w

"Hello, Mr. Gomez. Thank you for coming to my birthday party," Minnie said."Nice to meet you, Minnie. Happy birthday!" Lucas said as he handed her a gift.Minnie hadn’t expected Lucas to give her something separately. "Coco already gave me something. Since you’re with her, one is enough. You make it look like I invited you to get more presents.""You deserve this as you’re Coco’s best friend, and you’ve helped her a lot," Lucas said.Minnie smiled shyly and glanced at Coco before thanking Lucas. Then, she showed them their seats.The other guests at the party occasionally snuck glances at Lucas. Minnie introduced him as Coco’s boyfriend, Mr. Gomez, without revealing his identity. If she had, everyone would have flocked around him, given his status in the entertainment industry.After everyone was seated, Minnie thanked them for coming to celebrate her birthday and wished everyone a good time. Just as they were about to start their meal, someone knocked on the door.Then,

Coco's expression changed. The people there were mostly those who had bullied and humiliated her back then. They were close to Layla.These people were a nightmare for Coco. She turned pale and trembled slightly at the sight of them. Minnie, who was holding Coco's arm, noticed her mood change. She stepped forward and shielded Coco. "We’re not here for the reunion. Stop imagining things.""Yeah, yeah, Coco is a cartoonist now and her work is being adapted into a TV series. Coco will be famous if it becomes a hit! Of course, she won’t be bothered about a simple reunion,” a person said sarcastically."Oh, please. Has she forgotten about her shameless actions in university? Her past will be dug up for sure if she gets famous." Someone else sneered."Yeah, does she think that she’s somebody just because she drew a few comics and has a TV series adaptation? She was trash back then, and she's still trash now!" Another person mocked.Coco remained quiet and didn’t defend herself. It w

Layla thought that Minnie was lying because she was desperate to save Coco. There was no way that someone like Lucas would be interested in such a boring woman.Meanwhile, Coco was struggling desperately as she was being forced to drink the wine. However, it only made things worse. The wine that was spilled from her mouth soiled her clothes, making her look utterly miserable."Stop it! Stop it!" Minnie cried. Tears were streaming down her face. "Somebody, please help! Save Coco! Lucas! Please come and save Coco!"The people mocked her cries. Just as Minnie was about to lose hope, the laughter died down, replaced by the sound of punching and groans.Minnie looked up to see Lucas kicking away the person who had forced Coco to drink like a superhero.He knocked the people who were pinning Coco down to the ground swiftly.Minnie was overjoyed while the others were completely stunned.Coco was on the floor choking from the wine. Her throat was burning, and she felt dizzy. She
