Ryan, known for his emotional stability, had completed his undergraduate degree at a top university before going abroad to earn double degrees. Upon returning, he joined the family business.Starting from the bottom, he climbed to management in just two years. To test his abilities, Henry transferred him to a struggling, debt-ridden branch as general manager.Ryan accepted the challenge without complaint. Once there, he implemented bold reforms, adjusted management strategies, and daringly promoted talented young employees. Within months, although not yet profitable, the company's atmosphere had completely transformed.The branch primarily focused on tourism. With the recent surge in study abroad programs, Ryan seized the opportunity to launch various travel-study packages.Their advertising was impressive; their promotions popped up on nearly every webpage.Wendy had heard through industry contacts that sign-ups for the branch's latest offerings were steadily increasing. If this

I was speechless."Wendy, you would be the perfect crush for him," I said."What's the point? He's not interested in me!" Wendy interrupted me, pressing her finger to my lips. "Don't ask how I know. It's just woman's intuition!"I remained silent."Enough joking around, I have work to do," Wendy sighed. "I could use this injury to my advantage and get more work done. Maybe it will make Dad more sympathetic. It's not easy competing with four step-siblings!"Wendy took out her phone to arrange for someone to bring her a laptop.Half an hour later, Luke's assistant delivered laptops to our room, and we both switched into work mode.By that time, someone had already sent Mrs. Walker a recording of our conversation with Luke that morning.At lunchtime, we had an unexpected visitor.Mrs. Walker arrived at our hospital room with a variety of health foods and supplements. Her sweet and gentle demeanor made me uneasy.Fortunately, Wendy was skilled at socializing. She showered Mrs. Wa

David: How dare you involve Mr. Walker in this?Owner: I'm telling the truth! If you don't believe me, you can ask Mr. Walker yourself.David: Does Ms. Parker know about this?Owner: I'm not sure. The tabloids say they're a couple, so Mr. Walker might have already told her.David: What if Ms. Parker doesn't know and blames you for the accident?Owner: It's not my fault! How could I have known she would have an accident during the trip?David: Then you need to go to the hospital and explain it to her face.Owner: If I do that, won't it look like I'm badmouthing Mr. Walker behind his back? It could affect their relationship. If Mr. Walker finds out, I'm done for!The owner, not understanding David's hint, was afraid of offending Luke.David: If their love is strong enough, nothing anyone says will come between them.The owner suddenly understood. He was about to speak when David raised his hand to stop him.David: That's all I have to say. The rest is up to you.Owner: Please

"They just went down a few minutes ago. Ms. Parker usually keeps her walks to about half an hour. You're welcome to wait in her room," the psychologist said, opening the door wider and stepping aside to invite us in."Where does she usually walk? We'll go find her," Wendy said."There's a garden area downstairs. Ms. Parker usually strolls around there.""Thanks," Wendy said, then pulled me towards the elevator.As we descended, she grumbled, "Stephen's a lawyer, smart and rational. How has he been playing the devoted simp for so many years?""We always want what we can't have," I replied."You nailed it, Jen. With Joey's heart broken by Luke, Stephen might have a chance to swoop in. Who knows, it might work out.""That would be a happy ending for everyone.""Happy for Stephen, maybe," Wendy said with a grimace. "Luke is Joey's obsession. Even if she agrees to be with Stephen, she won't completely let go of Luke. It's like that song, 'The One That Got Away.'"I was speechless.

"Let's treat your wound first."Stephen pulled Wendy along, striding past me. It took me a moment to react, and I rushed to stop them."Jen, you take care of things here. I'll be back soon," Wendy said, shifting slightly to block my path and giving me a meaningful wink.Suddenly, I remembered that Stephen had evidence of Joey's involvement in our kidnapping. Wendy was going with him to try and extract information.As a lawyer, Stephen was quick-witted and tight-lipped. Wendy had her work cut out for her.I silently cheered her on.Behind me, Joey started to move her wheelchair. I turned and blocked her path. "Why did you have me kidnapped?""What would I gain from kidnapping you?" Joey tapped her head. "Jen, you should learn to think before you speak. Otherwise, you'll make a fool of yourself.""It's your overthinking that leads you to scheme against others.""Without evidence, you're just slandering me. I could sue you for that.""Your threats don't scare me.""We'll see if
