Grace was convinced that Nelson was a rich and generous man. If June could get him, she would have a good life in the future.June emerged from the restroom to find Grace and Nelson engrossed in conversation. Their laughter echoed through the space, reaching her ears even from a distance. Her pout deepened, and a flare of annoyance sparked within her. "If you like him so much, why don't you date him yourself? Chat all you want. I'm not going back! I'll let you wait for nothing."Saying this, June turned and stormed off in the other direction. Just as she spun around, she collided with a sturdy chest, sending her tumbling backward.Immediately, a strong hand caught her waist, pulling her close. June was momentarily stunned and struggled to break free. Then a familiar voice floated toward her. "Silly girl, watch where you're going."That familiar, gentle voice made June look up in disbelief. There was the man she had been longing for! "Frederick! Is it really you?" she cr

Frederick continued the story, "That evening, the homeless man smashed the old lady's window, prompting her to confront him. "She roared, 'You heartless vagrant, I kindly gave you bread during the day, and you repay me by smashing my window with a stone at night!'"June was engrossed in the story, her indignation rising. "That man is awful! People try to help him, and he responds with wickedness. He doesn't deserve kindness."Frederick continued, "The homeless man was furious too. He yelled back at the old lady, 'I didn't use a stone! I used that Fancenia baguette you gave me!'"June burst out laughing. "How could bread be that hard?"Seeing June's tears replaced with laughter, Frederick finally smiled in relief.That was when June realized he'd made up the whole story to cheer her up. Frederick was always so thoughtful, yet her sister couldn't see that.Thinking this, June couldn't help but embrace Frederick. "Frederick, please, consider remarrying my sister."Frederick stiff

Grace said, "Sure, big shot, show me that invitation. If you can't, I'll have the Monroe family security toss you into the sea as shark bait."Frederick responded with a cold laugh. "Firstly, why should I show you my invitation just because you demand it? What right do you have, just because you're ugly doesn't mean I need to show you pity. Secondly, I indeed don't have an invitation; I came here with a friend who has one."You demand an invitation from me, but do you have one yourself? Or do you simply leech off Priscilla? If anyone should be tossed into the sea for lack of invitation, shouldn't it be you? People like you, who spew venom and assume the worst, pollute more than just the ocean."Grace fumed, sputtering in response to Frederick's retort. Her finger trembled as she pointed at him, words momentarily failing her.June stepped forward to explain. "Grace, I confirmed it. The Mr. York on the golden plaque—that's Frederick. He was invited by the hotel, not some intruder. He

"I built my achievements on my own. I've never relied on a man for anything." Scarlett looked at Priscilla, speechless at her unexpected and unbelievable naivety."Honestly, do you believe you built everything on your own? Companies like yours don't just spring up overnight. It takes generations of work, at the very least. "Then what makes you so special? Do you truly think it's all your business savvy that got you here? Don't you find it...odd? How smoothly has everything gone for you?"Scarlett's words sent a jolt through Priscilla, leaving her momentarily speechless.Hadn't she always prided herself on building her success from nothing? She'd always believed her abilities set her apart from Frederick, and that was the reason why she chose divorce.But now, recalling her successes, it seemed they didn't really require business genius.Her journey had been remarkably smooth, almost unnaturally so. In less than three years, her company thrived. Their orders flowed steadily fro

"Heh, did you think I'm as easygoing as Frederick?" Scarlett's smirk was icyIn a flash, she stepped in front of Grace and delivered a vicious kick to her leg. With Scarlett's strength amplified by her sharp heels, the blow sent Grace to her knees, who sprawled to the ground in agony.Scarlett's smirk deepened. "On your knees already? I suppose that saves you the trouble of three bows."Priscilla and June rushed to help Grace up as tears streamed down her face."You... I won't let you get away with this," Grace choked out. Scarlett's only response was a chilling laugh. "I'll be waiting."Despite the lingering effects of Frederick's attack, Nelson willed himself to stand. He was sitting on the ground catching his breath and feeling weak due to something Frederick had done to him.He'd watched the scene unfold, a mix of disbelief and envy swirling within him. How could a lowly nobody like Frederick attract such a stunning, capable woman? Still, Nelson's focus remained fixated o
