The reason he wasn't afraid to offend Chris wasn't because he had no fear—it was because he knew Chris wouldn't hold him accountable due to guilt toward Nina.Chris's remorse toward Nina allowed many things, such as her betrayal with James, to happen without repercussions. He didn’t take action against the Quirks, James, or the Burts.Despite lacking concrete evidence, Sierra believed her speculation was close to the truth.James didn't love her. He merely saw her as a tool for revenge against Chris. This explained his reluctance to marry her. How could the heir of the prestigious Burt family marry a tool used for retaliation?Sierra chuckled bitterly. How ruthless of James!Because of him, she lost a wonderful man. If James hadn't schemed to win her over, she would have been married to Chris by now and live as the enviable Mrs. Jewells."Sierra, what’s wrong?" Paige asked with concern. Her sister's expression seemed off, and there was a mocking coldness in her laughter.Wha

The child in her stomach was undoubtedly a source of concern, with many people seemingly against the idea of her giving birth safely. She was well aware that those individuals might resort to various means. Caution was the key.Paige found herself in a dilemma. Unsure of the best course of action, she decided to wait for Chris to return and discuss the matter with him.…In the evening, Chris returned home from work. Paige immediately brought up the topic. "Honey, do you think it's better for me to take a leave from school and stay at home during the pregnancy, or should I hire a bodyguard to protect me?"Chris raised an eyebrow, looking at Paige. What had prompted this change of heart? Ann had suggested for her to stay at home during her pregnancy, but Paige had been reluctant. Had something happened during her visit to Sierra today that convinced her?She sure does take Sierra's advice to heart. However, Chris wasn't about to dwell on that as Sierra meant well. "What's

Wendy continued, "I know you have Chris now, and you might not be interested in the Quirks' modest assets. But the things you overlook can become desirable when others strive to attain them."Paige remained silent, thinking about Linda and Gene, the mentioned "others.""Dad hasn't made a will yet," Paige responded. Bob was still relatively young and discussing wills seemed premature considering he could live for another ten to twenty years, barring any unforeseen circumstances. The future was uncertain. There was a possibility that he might make decisions that could jeopardize the Quirks' assets in the future.Wendy looked at Paige, truly frustrated. Paige had always been like this since childhood. Her answers never satisfied Wendy."Some things need early planning. Don't think that marrying Chris guarantees everything. The future is unpredictable, so you should take advantage of your current status as Chris's wife. Your father is wary of you and he tries to please you. Secure

Tina did not want Niel to have any affairs.No woman would want her beloved husband to have any random affairs. Niel reassured her gently. "It’s fine. You should get some good rest."He was afraid to touch Tina, especially her belly. He had high hopes and expectations for Tina, and he would not do anything that might harm her or the baby.When Niel left, Tina sighed, feeling uneasy. She spent her days lying in bed, unable to go out. She had no idea about Niel's activities outside. Her planted informants in the company and around Niel reported to her, but it was only about the company matters. Tina remained clueless about Niel's socializing outside.Men socializing could easily lead to trouble. Tina took a deep breath, trying not to overthink. It was not good for her or the child.… Wendy had a sleepless night, anxiously waiting for news. If something happened to Paige, the Jewells might not inform others in the Quirks, but Sierra would definitely be told.She waited a

So, the head chef added additives to a guest’s soup? What happened next? There had been no word of any issues from the Jewells yet. Besides, even though he was not a chef, he did run a restaurant. Those additives the head chef mentioned earlier were just normal ones like bouillon cubes. Their restaurant even had a soup that included bouillon cubes. What was wrong with that?He might not know the problem, but he was sure there was one because the head chef mentioned someone giving him money to add those things to the soup. The person behind it must have a purpose.Mr. Johnson quietly observed on the sidelines, trying to diminish his presence. He did not dare to call for help. Although he had friends and a powerful network, he offended Chris this time. If his friends found out he had crossed Chris, they would all abandon him. His friends were mutually beneficial connections, friends as long as there were interests. Once the interest was gone, or worse, they knew he was tangle
