As it turned out, they had been holding hands the entire time.Candice came to her senses belatedly and immediately let go of Jimothy.“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to grab your hand,” Candice explained sincerely. Earlier, she had been in a rush and did not think it through.Jimothy shook his head and shrugged it off, but his face was still flushed.Candice suddenly suspected that it might be the first time Jimothy held a woman’s hand.But she did not pry, because it was not an urgent matter.“What happened between you and those thugs?” Candice asked out of curiosity. Jimothy did not seem like a troublemaker.How did he get in trouble with them?Jimothy forced a smile. “It’s a long story. It’s because of my family… I don’t want to talk about it now. Is that alright?”Perhaps it was because Candice had just saved him. Jimothy no longer sounded as brusque as he used to. He was polite and looked like a fresh-faced student.Naturally, Candice did not push for an answer.“It’s alrigh

Michael shook his head helplessly as he watched Ivanka walk away.He immediately called for a cleaning lady to arrange for the cleanup. After that, he prepared to head to the office himself.When Ivanka arrived at the office, the receptionist seemed surprised.It was rare for Ivanka to be late, so much so that the receptionist even asked if she was not feeling well.Ivanka hesitated for a moment. She was unsure how to explain herself. Should she say her head hurt from a hangover?She decided not to share the reason and simply said she was not feeling well today.Still looking concerned, the receptionist told her to take care and rest.Ivanka touched her nose and agreed with a nod. She seemed guilty for some reason. On her way to the elevator, she overheard part of a conversation between the receptionists.“Did you hear about the college student who got driven off by Coco? He’s starting today. Mr. Barkworth hired him personally. He’s super talented. He’s really tall and hand

“Why are you giving me so much food? Are you trying to make me fat?”Michael smiled at her and replied, “That’s impossible. You could eat as much as you want and still not gain weight.”Ivanka was stunned for a moment.Candice set down her utensils, rubbed her arms, and playfully complained, “Ugh, I’m getting goosebumps!”Michael raised an eyebrow. “Really? Then maybe you should eat less. Look at how much weight you’ve gained.”Candice gasped and turned to Rosie.“Grandma, did you hear that? Mic is bullying me! How am I supposed to eat after that?!”Rosie laughed. Perhaps such moments were what family joy was all about.Just then, a servant entered and reported that a young woman was waiting outside and asking to see Rosie and Michael.Ivanka immediately had a guess about who it might be.She exchanged a glance with Candice. Neither of them said a word.Rosie asked, “Who is it?”She tried to recall which prominent family’s daughter she might have had dealings with, but she

Coco felt her head spin.The realization hit her hard. The elderly woman Ivanka was supporting was the real Rosie. Had she just flattered the wrong person?Her mind went blank for a moment. Her forced smile froze awkwardly on her face.Rosie took her time settling into the main seat. She then gently patted Ivanka’s hand affectionately, which spoke volumes about their close bond.The sight made Coco’s face turn even paler.After Rosie sat down, Mrs. Ruth chuckled and said, “Clicked instantly, did she? This young lady clearly mistook me for you, Madam.”Coco’s face flushed red from embarrassment before it turned pale again. Mrs. Ruth’s words practically branded her as someone who only fawns over those in power.Desperate to salvage her image, Coco forced out an awkward laugh. “N-no... that’s not it. I felt a genuine connection with you.”Mrs. Ruth smiled politely, but it was clear she did not believe her. She chose not to call her out, though it hardly mattered. Everyone present

Rosie looked away and did not even glance at Coco again.Candice gave her a thumbs up.Ivanka watched as Coco walked away unsteadily.“Three.“Two.”Michael noticed Ivanka counting under her breath. Following her gaze, he looked at Coco.“One.”At that exact moment, when Ivanka said “one,” Coco collapsed to the floor.Everything happened so quickly. No one was prepared. Ivanka calmly signaled for someone to carry Coco into the guest room.Rosie was surprised and covered her mouth with a handkerchief.“What happened?”Ivanka frowned. “She must have fainted because she hasn’t fully recovered from her cold.”Rosie glanced toward the guest room and could not help but ask, “Should we take her to the hospital?”Candice nodded eagerly, agreeing with the suggestion.It was an unexpected misfortune, and it did not seem worth handling on their own.Ivanka shook her head. “It’s too late to get her to the hospital now. Don’t worry, Grandma. I’ve got this.”Rosie relaxed upon hearin
