"Why didn’t I think of that?"Every time I'm around Luke, it feels like my brain stops working! The sound of his steady footsteps makes me wish I could just disappear into a hole. After lingering on the steps for what felt like forever, I finally made my way to the gym.Luke acted as if nothing had happened, his expression calm and collected. His nonchalance put me more at ease, but I couldn’t shake the frustration I felt. Throughout the entire workout, I found myself unconsciously stealing glances at him. It was like I had a crush, like a teenage girl daydreaming about the boy she liked.No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t stop myself. I was beginning to realize I had a tendency to become hopelessly smitten.Luke seemed to be in a good mood today, correcting my mistakes gently as we trained. But every time he came close, my body would freeze up. Sometimes, I’d even mix up my movements—completely flustered."The more you practice, the more it will become second nature," he said

"Do you think I'm stupid?" Wendy sneered.Joey and Jon were siblings who had lived together for years. Joey would have recognized her brother in an instant; there was no way she couldn’t tell.Wendy let out a short, cold laugh and made as if to leave."I realized he wasn’t my brother too late. By the time I went looking for Jon, I saw him being pulled out of a ditch by the police. I was just a kid, scared out of my mind, so I ran away with the boy I had found. When I finally went back, my brother’s body had already been taken away by the authorities," Joey explained, curling up in a ball on the bed, large tears rolling down her face."You knew the police had taken the body, but you didn’t go to the station to identify him?""When I was at the orphanage, the caretakers would scare us by saying that if we misbehaved, the police would take us away. I... I thought the police were bad guys. I was too afraid to go to them.""And when you grew up and knew better, it never occurred to yo

Years ago, phone numbers didn’t have to be registered under real names, but after an investigation, it was discovered that the phone number belonged to Crystal Kingston.The police had already begun their investigation into Crystal. As the CEO of Kingston Industries, her arrest was captured by someone and quickly posted online, sparking widespread rumors. The news caused a public uproar, and Kingston Industries' stock took a hit.Among the three Kingston siblings, only Crystal worked at the company. The other two were idle and clueless when the company faced this crisis. Rivals and competitors seized the opportunity to strike at Kingston Industries.The company immediately began damage control. Reports about the Kingston family flooded the internet, with some insiders claiming that Crystal’s detainment was linked to a school bullying incident from years ago. With school bullying being a hot topic, this story gained serious traction online.During lunch, Luke called me into his offi

"Even if you ask me again, my answer will be the same, I've never dated him.""The letters Carter produced are in your handwriting," Stephen said."Handwriting can be forged! If you don't believe me, you can leave the hospital right now. From now on, my business is none of your concern!" Joey replied with a defiant air, as if she had nothing to hide."You refused to transfer schools back then because of Carter.""How many times do I have to tell you that Carter and I had nothing to do with each other?" Joey's emotions flared. "Crystal is the head of Kingston Industries. Carter doesn't want to be overshadowed by her, so he's taking advantage of this situation to kick me while I'm down. I'm being used by him!""Carter has already contacted me. He has the original letters. A handwriting analysis would easily determine if you wrote them or not."Stephen's words silenced Joey for a few seconds."In the end, you still don't believe me."Wendy adjusted the camera to face herself. She

Stephen had scheduled a meeting with a client today. On his way there, he saw the leaked information online and immediately asked Taylor to drive him to the hospital instead.Taylor was waiting downstairs when she received the call. She quickly summoned the on-duty nurse."Mr. York, I've already contacted the police to request the removal of Joey's electronic ankle monitor."Stephen said nothing, leaving with a scowl on his face.Wendy followed Stephen, saying, "You're using people when it's convenient and discarding them when it's not. Before, you were calling me three times a day to meet up. Now that you've fallen out with Joey, you're giving me the cold shoulder?""Our deal isn't canceled. I'll handle all your future cases personally.""That's reassuring, Mr. York."As Wendy spoke, she tried to enter the elevator with Stephen.Stephen blocked her path. "Do you need anything else, Miss Smith?""Not at the moment. I'll contact you if I do.""Please take another elevator."W
