The voice was filled with jealousy. Even without turning around, Lucy knew who the voice belonged to. She couldn't even be bothered to spare Lily a glance.Lily continued mocking her, saying, "Mr. Ripley, Lucy probably didn't tell you that she slept with someone with an STD before, right? Well, that makes sense. If you knew, you wouldn't have married her, right?"Still, the truth will be revealed eventually. You should think twice, Mr. Ripley. You'd suffer huge losses if she passed the illness on to you."Lily spoke loudly on purpose so that the people around them could hear her.Lucy hadn't wanted to humor Lily at first, but after noticing that Lily was going too far, Lucy scoffed. With a cold look in her eyes, Lucy slowly approached Lily.Lucy had an oppressive air about her, so much so that goosebumps formed on Lily's skin without her realizing it. Lily subconsciously stepped back."What are you trying to do? I'm telling the truth. You're just a bitch with an STD, and you shou

Tobias examined the rings earnestly.The women's design was delicate and exquisite, whereas the men's design was classy and sophisticated. The rings looked great together as well, so they were indeed stunning.Tobias asked, "What's the difference between these rings and the other ones?"Lucy said, "The intricate design of these rings symbolizes the eternity of love and the stability of marriage. It conveys a message that the newlyweds will always be together and depend on each other. "In other words, it's like our marriage will be steadfast throughout our lives."Tobias raised an eyebrow ever so slightly. They would be inseparable for life?He valued the ties between a married couple, and for some reason, when he heard her say that, he found himself looking forward to their married life in the future.Unbeknownst to Tobias, back when Lucy had designed those rings, she had also been really anticipating her marriage.Tobias said, "We'll go with these, then. Engrave our names on

"Enough!"Faced with Anna's persistence, Tobias said in an extremely cold voice, "Anna, I'm very sure we both know how I ended up sleeping with the wrong person. "You've missed your chance, so there's no point in pestering me about it. Also, I'm warning you—if you dare enter my office without permission again, I'll call the police right away!""Tobias, how could you be so heartless toward me?""Ha! Are you claiming that you weren't heartless when you schemed against me back then? I can't understand why you would push me, someone who's definitely good enough for you, toward another woman and then try to salvage the situation now."Anna was upset. She was no longer a virgin, so she had feared that Tobias would shun her. So, she had gotten an innocent-looking woman to cover things up. Unexpectedly, things had just blown up after the incident.When Tobias had finished speaking, he turned around and left.Reluctant to give up, Anna rushed forward and hugged him. "Tobias, please do

Thanks to Tobias' flirting, Lucy blushed, feeling her heart racing. However, when she heard his confident words, she asked in surprise, "Why are you so sure that you'll never have an extramarital affair?"A dark look flashed across Tobias' eyes. But then, he averted his gaze and said nonchalantly, "I'm a man of my word."Lucy refused to believe that a man would actually refrain from cheating.Even so, she had caught sight of the slight changes in Tobias' gaze. She felt as if he was hiding something.Just then, Tobias' phone rang."Hi, Grandpa."Howard said, "Tobias, our family members have heard about your marriage with Lucy. Your parents will be coming to Ripley Residence tomorrow, so come over and bring Lucy with you."At the mention of his parents, Tobias had a dark look in his eyes. Then, he said indifferently, "Got it."In an instant, he seemed to be shrouded in cold air.Lucy keenly sensed that something was off with him. She opened her mouth to ask about it.But on sec

More than a decade ago, the kidnapping at Cloud Peak had caused a huge commotion because the criminals had kidnapped two children from rich families at the same time. But in the end, only the boy had managed to escape.That same year, Lucy had been rescued by the director of an orphanage, and she had also lost her memories of the past. However, she had heard about the kidnapping from the director. Back then, when she had heard the news, she had felt her heart aching as if it had been pierced.At the mention of the kidnapping case, Tobias' gaze darkened considerably. He had sealed away his memories of that girl and avoided mentioning her for a long time. He had thought that he would be fine now, but talk of the kidnapping still caused him pain. Anna said, "Ms. Everhart, do you know about the Cloud Peak kidnapping case?"Lucy nodded. "I grew up in Cloud Peak Orphanage. The incident was a shock to the whole country, so of course, I'd heard people talking about it."Tobias rais
