Renee's words triggered a realization in Mandy, and they exchanged a knowing look, both considering the same possibility. But Mandy had her doubts.“What you’re saying makes sense, but without evidence, it doesn’t mean anything. A gemstone worth millions disappearing under our noses—it would ruin my reputation. Who would trust me to design jewelry after that?”Mandy’s gaze was steady, focused on Renee. “Even if I wanted to protect you, others wouldn’t agree. After all, you signed the handover form, confirming the sapphire’s quality. You understand what that means?”Renee nodded solemnly. Mandy was preparing her for the worst: if they couldn’t find proof, Renee could end up as the scapegoat, bearing all the consequences.Taking a deep breath, Renee said, “I understand.”Just then, Renee’s phone rang. She glanced at the number, and a hint of excitement flashed in her eyes. She showed Mandy the screen. “Seems I guessed right.”Renee answered the call, hearing Leon’s voice on the oth

As Renee recognized the familiar presence, she began to struggle.But the arm around her waist only tightened, pulling her firmly against his chest until her entire back burned with his heat.She could feel every rise and fall of his chest as he breathed.Each breath filled her with an inexplicable fear.Suddenly, his commanding voice whispered in her ear: "Who said you could come alone? Did you really think you could walk out of here?"Renee pulled at the arm around her waist, protesting, "Uncle Carl, since when did you become such a control freak? Let me go!"Behind her, his breathing deepened, but he didn't argue.In the next moment, he released her. She tried to run but wasn't fast enough.He grabbed her and tossed her onto the couch.Before she could react, he pinned her down.Under his crisp suit, every muscle in his body was taut and hard, pressing down on her until she could barely breathe.His warm breaths fell on her face, making her skin burn.She tried to push h

Renee knocked and entered Mandy's office, finding Bella already there.She glanced at Bella but remained silent."You can leave now," Mandy told Bella.Bella hesitated, then politely said "okay" before leaving.After the door closed, Renee was about to explain the situation.But Mandy suddenly slammed her folder on the desk."Renee! Let me be clear - you must take full responsibility for this. The studio won't bear any of the consequences!"Startled by the loud noise, Renee stared at Mandy for a few seconds before regaining her composure. "I'll handle everything," she quickly assured."You'd better," Mandy said loudly.Outside, Bella finished eavesdropping with a smile before walking away.If even Mandy wouldn't help Renee, she must be truly cornered.—At the Clark family's celebration gala...Escorted by security, Renee carried a security box as she followed Mandy into Leon's private room.Besides Renee, Bella and Wendy were also part of the group.Wendy was there on B

Inside the towel was a hotel key card!Wendy took a deep breath, but no amount of breathing could control her raging jealousy.Why did every man seem bewitched by Renee?Even someone like Carl wanted her.How was this fair!Renee held the key card, feigning distress. "Mr. Grey seems to know about my situation. His assistant said if I go to his room, he'll help resolve everything. What should I choose? I suppose most people would pick Mr. Grey?""Choose Mr. Clark, of course!"You cheap woman only deserve someone like that toad Clark!Wendy's voice rose sharply, as grating as a burst balloon.Pretending not to notice her tone, Renee asked, "Wendy, why can I only choose Mr. Clark?"Wendy froze for a moment before starting her manipulation again."Renee, I'm saying this for your own good. Remember, Mr. Clark is our client. If you don't appease him, who knows what he might say about you? It could destroy your career.""Besides, Mr. Grey doesn't really like you. He loves Miss Sim

Carl's breath washed over Renee's face as he spoke.She turned her head away guiltily.Of course, he knew everything.Renee carefully tried to step aside, wanting to escape his presence, but his arm appeared in front of her.She had no choice but to stay put, telling herself her floor would come soon.But Carl seemed to read her mind, leaning closer until she felt his warm breath on her face.She could feel his heat just beneath her nose.His presence, his scent surrounded her completely, making her back break out in sweat.Lost in thought, he raised his hand, threading through her loose hair to cup her face."Hmm?" Carl's deep voice questioned."I... I..." Renee stumbled over her words."Since you told everyone I gave you a key card, shouldn't we do something about that?""..."Renee's eyes shot up - he even knew about the key card!Though his voice was calm, she felt unprecedented pressure, her breathing growing rapid.Carl's eyes were half-closed in the shifting light
