A dog barked. Faith put her things away, looking alert when she saw a burly man approach with a dog. He asked, "Who are you? What are you doing there?"Sienna cried out in surprise when she saw the dog. It barked at her, looking like it was going to charge at her and bite her. Faith immediately stood before her. Then, the dog pounced at them.Sienna screamed while Faith grabbed a thick branch and swung it around wildly to scare the dog. "You'd better keep your dog on a tight leash! We're just here for a hike. How dare you set your dog on us?""A hike?" The burly man pulled the dog back and appraised them. "You're hiking in the middle of nowhere and at night?""Heh. We've always been in the habit of hiking at night; who would've expected to see a villa here? How much does it cost to stay here for the night, buddy? Can we spend a night here?"The man snapped, "In your dreams. This is private property, and outsiders aren't allowed entry. If you don't leave, I'll get my dog to bite yo

Tobias felt like his heart had stopped beating when he saw the car colliding with Lucy. The car screeched to a stop, and he spotted the driver. His gaze darkened instantly. Chad cackled. "Tobias, I will never let you and Lulu live in bliss!""Chad!" Tobias cursed. Fueled by intense murderous intent, he charged at Chad.Chad's eyes flickered. Flooring the accelerating pedal, he zoomed away. "You can't get away. I'll make sure you rot in jail!" Tobias spat with a sneer. Then, he immediately sprinted toward where Lucy had collapsed. Knocked to the ground, Lucy instinctively wrapped her arms around her belly. She heard Tobias' voice in a daze, thinking that it was a mere hallucination before dying. "Hold on, Lulu. I've called a car for us. We'll get to the hospital soon!"Crouched next to her, Tobias was awash in anxiety. He wanted to hold her in his arms, but he was worried that he might cause any further injuries. His breath hitched when he saw the pool of blood beneath her.

"Mr. Chadwick, I didn't do that on purpose…"Faith apologized, backing away in haste. Miles gazed at her with a smile. "It's fine. Although it's just an accident, you can kiss me back again if you feel like I took advantage of you.""Huh?" Faith looked bewildered. Amused by her adorable expression, Miles chuckled. "I'm just kidding. I'll get going first. See you."Only then did Faith realize he was teasing her. She blushed and waved at him. "Bye."She closed the door after he left. Clutching onto her pounding chest and her flushed face, she slapped herself lightly. "Remember your goal, Faith! Focus on your career and steer clear of any romantic endeavors!"Faith had felt like she was in love with him earlier. No, this was merely her hallucination. She rubbed her head, not allowing herself to indulge in such wild thoughts. She suddenly remembered Lucy, and she couldn't help but worry. "I wonder whether Lucy has woken up yet. And did that silly Sienna get into a fight with h

"Imposter?"Visibly perplexed, Joey said, "Tobe, the Eberhards just called to confirm the engagement with me earlier. It will be the day after tomorrow, and we'll hold a press conference to announce the news. That's the best for our families."Tobias sneered. He didn't expose Anna for pretending to be the actual daughter of the Eberhard family. Since they would have a press conference the day after tomorrow, he'd seize the chance to unveil the truth. "Sure." He went along with it. Joey had thought Tobias would blatantly refuse, but his swift agreement caught her by surprise. She was ecstatic, to say the least. "If there's nothing else, I'll get going."Just as Tobias was about to leave, Howard stopped him. "Tobe, come to the study for a while.""Alright."Both of them entered the study. "Joey, isn't Tobe against arranged marriages? Why did he agree so quickly this time?""He's finally seen the light. Marrying the daughter of the Eberhard family is the right choice, after

Tobias' candor rendered Shaun speechless. Shaun said, "Perhaps… she's always been fed up with me!""Why do you say so?"Normally, Tobias couldn't be bothered about other people's affairs. But Shaun's wife was Lucy's best friend. He felt compelled to lend him a listening ear for Lucy's sake. Shaun smiled bitterly. "This is a family affair, and I shouldn't be sharing it with someone else. But I feel like we get along quite well. I wonder if you're interested in hearing me out?""Sure. Our wives are best friends, so we can be friends too. I'll listen if you're willing to tell me," Tobias said.Shaun was slightly surprised. "It's my honor to be friends with you, Mr. Ripley."Tobias chuckled. "It's all thanks to your wife. You better treat her well when you get home…"Shaun never imagined that Sienna would be the reason he forged a friendship with someone else. But he didn't mind at all. Instead, he felt grateful to her. Before this, he hadn't been able to interact with Tobias.
