Tracy would not take a loss lying down. If only she had a way to fight it.To her, three million dollars was nothing.However, Lydia had backed Tracy into a corner at the Silver Leaf Studio, threatening her very life. She was caught between a rock and a hard place, forced to back down."I recall events like yesterday's auction always get plenty of press. Usually, they zero in on the auction itself and miss the fashion angle."Tracy squinted thoughtfully.Madeline suggested, "How about we buy a press release? Highlight all the designer outfits from the auction, especially Lydia's gown."Tracy got the hint and smirked. "A gown that's returned right after the show? It's like they're playing dress-up with no money to back it. I'm curious how the Sanders family will show their faces after this."It was a clever trap.Once the gown was the talk of the town, Cilix and Lydia would be forced to buy it back to maintain their dignity.They could not afford the hit to their reputation. No

In Lydia's hospital room, Skylar was slicing apples for her daughter when her cellphone erupted with a series of dings.She set aside the knife and apple, checked her phone, and her expression soured.Lydia, savoring her apple, caught the shift in her mother's mood and asked, "What's the matter, Mom?"Skylar gripped her phone tightly, forcing a strained smile. "Oh, it's nothing. Just that investment I made tanked, that's all."Lydia rolled her eyes. "Mom, those investment schemes are nothing but scams. They prey on folks like you who aren't in the know. If you're serious about getting your finances in shape, I could hook you up with a financial planner. You pay him a cut for commission, and he'll handle your assets. It's all the rage overseas."Skylar dismissed the idea with a wave of her hand. "Please, my savings are hardly worth the fuss of hiring some finance guys, not to mention the fees. It's just not worth it."She locked her phone and swiftly steered the conversation elsew

Trevon tensed up as he retorted, "Dream on! This is the villa's entrance, and cars are always passing by. I'm just reminding you that you're a married woman!"Madeline arched an eyebrow and let out an amused chuckle. "Well, here's a reminder for you too, Mr. Gibson."She grabbed her notebook and, without a backward glance, headed into the old mansion.Trevon was on the verge of losing it, his anger boiling over as he tried to confront her. However, his rage found another outlet—a solid punch that landed on the Maybach with a thud.Inside the car, Daniel's heart raced with fear, worried that Trevon might wreck the luxury vehicle. He quickly got out and offered the strawberries he had bought as a peace offering.Trevon's smiled at the sight of the strawberries.What a waste! They were too tart for anyone's liking."Just toss them!"He strode off, face like thunder. However, after a few steps, he spun around, snatched the bag of strawberries, and without a word, followed into the

Trevon furiously glared at Madeline as she recoiled. "You need to chill out."Trevon squinted and leaned in closer, his breath quickening. "You try chilling out."Madeline was at a loss for words, pressing her hand against his chest, "Back off. I'm going to get Mr. Jones and we're getting you to a hospital."Her cool hand seemed to quell the heat raging through him, even if just a little. Trevon sighed in relief, the coolness a balm to his fevered state.The harmless prank had spiraled out of control, and Trevon found himself inching closer to Madeline.Her cheeks turned a rosy hue from his warm breath, and with a hint of urgency, she pleaded, "Keep it together and step back, will you?"She struggled to free herself from his hold and dashed for the door.Trevon, clinging to the last threads of sanity, did not pursue her, but watched with eyes ablaze as she reached for the exit, his throat working nervously. What was he to do about Madeline? He had not figured that out yet. M

Madeline's eyes widened in shock.She had braced herself for the consequences of her actions, ready to face the wrath of the Gibson family—be it a scolding, a beating, or even a lawsuit. She was all set to tell the truth, but Trevon had covered for her, claiming it was an accident.Was he really protecting her? It did not add up.Confusion clouded Madeline's mind, persisting even as the paramedics brought Trevon into the ambulance....Trevon's injury was serious, but luckily it was just his buttock, and with the knife out, his life was not in danger. Still, the blood loss and pain left him looking rather pale.The doctor recommended a two-night hospital stay to monitor the wound and prevent infection.While Madeline went to take his medication, Edith, though clearly worried, could not hide her frustration."Be honest with me. Did you hurt yourself on purpose to avoid being with Madeline?"Trevon pursed his lips, finding himself at a loss for words. How could he explain that i
