Grief had struck Elaine suddenly, engulfing her in an instant. She couldn't think, she could only curl up into a small ball, as if this was the only way she could find solace.Aaron, fighting back his own pain, approached her. Even though he had reached her side, Elaine remained unresponsive. He tried to find comforting words, but he couldn't bring himself to say anything, or perhaps, he didn't know what to say.Elaine lifted her head first, seemingly surprised to see him. Her face was streaked with tears, her wet eyelashes, her helpless and panicked gaze, all portrayed a fearful child.Aaron's heart trembled lightly. Elaine had suddenly turned her head away. She covered her face with her trembling hands, her tears flowing freely. Even at her most vulnerable, Aaron was the last person she wanted to face right now. Her hand was suddenly held tightly, and she knew it was Aaron, but she didn't resist."Why are you crying alone here? Tell me, who are you shedding tears for?" Aaron asked.

Elaine didn't sleep well the whole night. She woke up early, having received a text message from Sylvia the night before, saying that Calvin wanted to have her homemade fish soup. Elaine prepared the soup and headed to the hospital.She arrived at the hospital quickly, placed the lunchbox on the nearby cabinet, and said, "I didn't get a chance to properly thank you for helping me retrieve my wallet yesterday. So, thank you."Calvin smiled warmly, "You could just visit me in the hospital more often!"Elaine was momentarily taken aback. Calvin seemed to be paying close attention to her expression, so she quickly changed the subject, "I'm starving. Let's eat."After finishing their meal, Calvin stared at her for a while before speaking, "Considering I took a knife for you, can you answer me a question?"Elaine nodded slightly, "Sure, go ahead."Calvin asked, "Why Aaron?"Elaine hadn't expected him to ask this question. She didn't know how to answer it. She was concealing a huge secret an

Elaine could clearly sense that Sylvia was intentionally killing time. First, they spent nearly two hours dining. After dinner, Sylvia dragged her shopping, from the women's section to the men's section, and finally into a supermarket. Elaine's legs felt like jelly after all that walking. Sylvia, on the other hand, was still brimming with enthusiasm, or perhaps overexcitement."Aren't you tired?" After they had roamed around the entire supermarket several times and their shopping cart remained empty, Elaine finally had enough and asked, "Are you sure you want to buy anything?""Yes!" Sylvia responded enthusiastically, dragging her around the supermarket once more.After waiting in line, they finished their shopping and it was already past ten. Elaine thought it was time to head home, but Sylvia suggested, "Since I have the day off tomorrow, how about we go singing?"Elaine believed that Sylvia was intentionally delaying her return home."What's wrong?" Sylvia took a few steps ahead an

"You!" Melissa was so angry that her lips twitched. She grabbed the coffee cup and threw it at Aaron. Aaron quickly dodged to the side, avoiding the cup, but he still got splashed with coffee. Brown stains marred his white shirt, forming conspicuous blotches."That's enough. We don't need to talk anymore. Let's call the police!" Aaron said firmly.In the past, he might have been closer to Melissa and even admired her for managing a large company as a woman. Sarah, despite being ill, was optimistic and pleasant to be around. But now, they had taken his leniency for weakness and treated him like a doormat.Melissa's heart sank when she heard the mention of calling the police. While the evidence might not be enough to incriminate her, if this matter became public, it would damage not only her personal reputation but also the company's credibility. Given the recent downturn in the real estate industry, she couldn't afford to take such a risk.With a deep sigh in her heart, Melissa relucta

In a high-end apartment somewhere, Lionel casually tossed his phone onto the sofa and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the vibrant night scenery of the city. The era that belonged to him alone was finally approaching after tonight.The bathroom door opened, and Cathy, wrapped in a bath towel, stepped out. Her wet, long hair cascaded down her shoulders. She looked at the man's back, her eyes filled with deep admiration. She approached him from behind and wrapped her arms around his neck."Aaron Corporation will soon be yours. Are you happy?" she asked.Lionel caught her hand and lightly kissed it. "I'm ecstatic!""In that case, when are you going to marry me?" Cathy's other hand slipped inside his shirt, gently caressing him. "I've betrayed even my best friend for you. If you dare to abandon me, I won't stand for it!"Lionel chuckled, turned around, and pulled her into his embrace. "Sweetheart, when did I ever say I don't want you? After I reclaim Aaron Corporation, I h
