She bit her lower lip hard before saying, “Please give me some time; I’ll pay the penalty.”“Eh?”He crossed his graceful legs as he sat on the sofa and asked casually, “Can you really gather one billion just by yourself?”“Please believe that I’ll pay up.”“Not at all,” he coldly said, “I’m planning to regain custody of the child.”“No!” She lost her voice as her heart squirmed with sorrow at the thought of losing her son. “Please! Please don’t take Youyou away from me.”“Give me a reason not to.”She tearfully replied, “I love him, and he can’t bear to leave me either!”He pondered for a moment before saying coldly, “I won’t take him away.”She stared disbelievingly at him, not having expected for him to agree so easily.“But…” he hedged, his pair of eyes regarding her more deeply.“But?” Her heart hung in the air.“You have to stay by my side.”“…”She drew in a sharp breath.“Stay… by your side?”He asked with a smile, “Why? What’s the matter with that?”“Mr., are you joking—”“Be

In the event hall, Guy mingled in the crowd with his mind elsewhere. He turned a deaf ear to the people that were trying to exchange pleasantries with him.More than 15 minutes had passed since Yuna went upstairs, and he was starting to worry.The gala had yet to officially start, but everyone was already socializing with one another. This could also be considered as part of the event’s schedule.Unfortunately, he had lost the desire to participate in this.As the gala’s attendees entertained one another, he expressionlessly remained seated on one of the VIP seats by himself. Looking from the side, his handsome eyes seemed to be sealed in ice.With knitted brows, he lowered his eyes and narrowed them. He held a glass of red wine, which had not been drunk on for a while, and sat still for a long time.Miya saw him sitting alone and immediately left the starlets engaging her in a pleasant talk. She tidied herself up and sashayed toward him.Halfway there, someone bumped into her shoulder

She probably had no knowledge of this: sometimes, the harder a woman struggled, the stronger the desire a man would have to dominate her!Weston willfully pressed down on her and quickly covered her supple lips. He held her nape with one hand and gently caressed her back with the other. As if electricity were flowing through them, his long fingers went along her shoulders and traveled downward as they slowly moved to other parts of her body…Yuna felt slightly awful at being suppressed. To be precise, she was feeling uneasy. However, sensing the cold and strange touches sweeping across her stomach, she suddenly forgot to struggle.A strange sensation made her entire body freeze and shiver!“Don’t!”She knitted her brows in discomfort. She had just spouted a word when a distinct and strange sensation – those traces of pain – made her scalp tingle instantly.Fragmented memories from that night suddenly flashed before her eyes, and her shoulders uncontrollably shuddered!Firmly pressing

Daddy! Daddy!” Yuki ran to the man and asked gloomily, “When will the gala start?”His face softened a little as he looked at his son. Gently taking his small hand in his, he replied, “Right away.”“I wanna drink grape juice…”“Okay!” He always granted Yichen’s every request.The love he had for his son was beyond words.Only after witnessing this scene did Manrou smile. She stepped forward to lock arms with him. “Zhe, the gala is about to begin.”Weston had no change in expression, and the trio slowly entered the elevator.Tiana wanted to follow but retreated at the stare Manrou gave when the latter turned around.Her heart and soul were shaken by it. She clearly got scared by her menacing look. She only regained her composure after the elevator doors were firmly shut.“Nasi, was it really the Boss?”Tiana’s voice came from behind.“I – I am not telling you!” she sobbed meekly, “I don’t know anything; quit asking…”“B*tch!”Tiana could no longer repress the raging fire in her heart a

“Daddy…” Yuki suddenly rubbed his chest, his brows forming a deep crease. “My chest is a little stuffy.”“What’s wrong?” There was slight distress on Weston’s face. “Why is your chest stuffy again?”Yuki shook his head in confusion. Acting coy, he pouted and answered, “I don’t know. It’s just stuffy. Really stuffy and aching. It’s awful.”He caressed his son’s small head. At that moment, there was another commotion at the entrance.“Oh, god! How beautiful…”A passionate crowd of media reporters subsequently congested the other end of the red carpet.Yuna, wearing an elegant and attractive smile, had her arm linked with Guy’s as they gracefully entered.The moment they appeared in the spotlight, countless eyes, filled with surprise, jealousy, disdain, and doubt, cast on them from near and far.People specifically laid their eyes on her eye-catching and glamorous gown and that dazzling ruby necklace on her collarbone.Yuna, in a luxurious red gown, was as beautiful as a stalk of fresh, t
