Maria let out a short laugh, almost as if she had just heard the most absurd joke.Fawn frowned. "What’s so funny?"Maria took a sip of her coffee, then said calmly, "Miss Powell, you’ve misunderstood. I didn’t stop him from doing anything—it was his decision.""That’s impossible!" Fawn didn’t believe her. "If you hadn’t said something, he wouldn’t have refused so decisively!"Tears began streaming down Fawn’s face, her expression filled with frustration. "You ruined it for us! Now I have to marry that old man! He’s nearly sixty, and I’m only twenty-three! Why should I marry him? Don’t you worry about karma for what you’ve done?"Maria raised an eyebrow at her, a bit surprised by the outburst. "Miss Powell, am I your parents? Am I the one forcing you into that marriage?"Fawn bit her lip. "If you hadn’t said anything to Sidney, he would’ve agreed!"Maria’s eyes grew cold. "You’re only thinking about yourself. You believe marrying him would solve your problems, but have you thought abou

"But what?" Sidney asked, still puzzled.Maria sank into the couch, her slender body relaxed as she gazed at Sidney. "Miss Powell's suggestion actually gave me an idea. If you and I got married, the studio would become shared property. You wouldn’t have to pay a cent to run it, and I could take off and live my carefree life."Sidney stared at her, utterly bewildered. "Marriage?""That’s right." Maria nodded, resting her chin on her hand and giving him a playful wink. "What do you think? Interested?"Without a word, Sidney turned and headed for the door.This was insane.First Fawn, now Maria—was every woman in his life losing their mind?"I’m telling you, if you walk away now, this opportunity won’t come around again. I’m being reasonable today, but who knows about tomorrow?" Maria called after him, her tone teasing but calm.His only response was the sound of the door closing behind him."Tsk..." Maria muttered to herself.He had his principle, huh? Men with that kind of integrity we

Sidney glanced down at Maria in his arms. Her eyes were closed, and a soft blush still colored her cheeks, her expression one of complete satisfaction. The hint of seduction lingered in the curve of her lips, which were now swollen from their earlier kiss.His breath deepened as he recalled what had just happened in the car. Tightening his hold on her, he strode purposefully toward the apartment building.Maria remained still, enjoying the warmth of his embrace. The corners of her lips tugged upward in a subtle smile.When they reached her door, Sidney said, "Unlock the door."Maria, half-asleep, lazily lifted her hand from under the jacket and pressed her fingerprint to the lock. The door clicked open.Sidney shook his head with a trace of amusement. "Still too weak to do anything?"Maria nestled closer into his chest, murmuring, "Mmhmm.""Not even enough strength to open the door?" Sidney asked, his tone teasing.She chuckled softly. "Maybe just enough for that."She reached out

"Huh?" Maria looked at the text message, finding it almost laughable. Mary? Her mother?She had grown up in an orphanage and was later handpicked and trained by Lucas. There was a time when she had searched for her biological parents, but the technology back then wasn’t advanced enough to find them.After some time, she gave up. Now, out of nowhere, someone claimed to be her mother?Maria stared at the message for a moment, deep in thought, before getting up and heading into another room.The room was soundproof, and the computer equipment was state-of-the-art. She powered up her computer and quickly began tracking the number. Her fingers danced across the keyboard, and soon enough, the screen was filled with the information she had been looking for.She clicked through the data, stopping at a photo of a family of three. The man appeared humble, and the woman looked tired and worn out, but her features hinted at a once-beautiful face. It wasn’t hard to imagine that she had been quite

Desmond immediately received Maria's message.All of them had a special distress program written by Maria on their phones—one press, and their location would be synced instantly.At that moment, Desmond was at the airport. He frowned as he read the distress message.Maria was in trouble!But he had to fly abroad right away—Lucas had just assigned him a task that needed to be completed as soon as possible!After a brief moment of thought, something came to him, and he dialed a number."Hello?" A clear, pleasant male voice answered.Desmond said, "Hello, Mr. Troy, I'm Mr. Tudor's assistant, Desmond Blake. We've met before."Sidney briefly recalled and quickly remembered him, then asked curiously, "Mr. Blake, what can I do for you?"Desmond responded, "I'm sending you a location. You need to go there and find Maria. Something has happened to her. I'm too far away to make it."Sidney frowned. "What happened to her?"Desmond replied, "I don't know. Just go quickly." After saying that, he
