As Ella walked down the hallway, she paused suddenly, something sparking in her memory. She spun around to face Leo. "Oh, hey, Leo, I just remembered something weird." Leo looked up, surprised by her sudden halt. "What's up?" "Do you know Lucas? I just heard him call you 'Mr. Quinn.' But… didn't you say you were an only child?" Leo's eyes narrowed slightly. He always knew Ella was sharp, but he hadn't expected her to catch such a small detail, especially with everything going on. For a second, Leo considered dodging the question, but he realized it was probably time to be honest with her. After all, if Lucas had figured out who he was, then it was only a matter of time before Ella found out, too. "Ella," he began, his voice low and sincere. "I've actually wanted to tell you this for a while… but I never quite knew how." She cocked her head to the side, her curious gaze glued to him. "Tell me what?" He exhaled slowly. "I only found out about it six years ago." Ella's eyebrow

As the door opened, Jenna pulled down her mask and extended her hand with a friendly grin, “Hello, I'm Jenna.” Kate eyes widened, her pupils dilating in sheer surprise. She blinked twice, and just as the reality hit, she squealed. “Oh my gosh! It’s really you! Jenna Stone, I’m your—” “Shh!” Jenna quickly raised a finger to her lips, giving Kate a conspiratorial wink. “I know, I know, you’re a fan. I’ll totally give you an autograph later, maybe even a selfie. But right now, can we focus on the house?” Kate, still visibly starstruck, nodded enthusiastically, her cheeks turning the faintest shade of pink. Jenna's grin widened. "Great! Now, lead the way, Kate. My friend and I can’t wait to check this place out.” As Kate guided them inside, Jenna gave a playful nudge to her Ella. “Told you I got this covered,” she whispered, winking. Ella, however, was too busy staring around the luxurious hallway to notice. The apartment Kate showed them was a chic duplex on the third floor. The b

A minute later, the door creaked open. Zane stepped in, his face full of curiosity. "Mr. Lucas, did you call for me?" Lucas glanced up from his desk, his eyes sharp and unreadable. He gestured for Zane to come closer. Without hesitation, Zane moved forward, but the moment his eyes landed on Lucas's’s hand, he froze. “Mr. Lucas, your hand... it’s bleeding.” Lucas flicked his wrist dismissively, as though it was nothing. "It’s fine," he said, his voice low and controlled. "But put that aside for now. I need you to investigate something." Zane, used to Lucas's’s usual aloofness, immediately straightened up, his mind racing. If Lucas was asking him to drop everything, it must be important. His voice dropped an octave. “What do you want me to look into?” Lucas leaned back in his chair, his gaze distant. “I want you to investigate the fire at the Blake Pharmaceuticals factory six years ago.” Zane blinked, his heart skipping a beat. “You mean the fire that destroyed the whole lab? Ar

"Did Kai forget to mention it?" Ella muttered to herself, staring at her phone in disbelief. It was hard to believe that such an important detail had been overlooked, but somehow, she could almost understand how it happened. For someone as sharp as Kai, though, this felt... off. Something didn’t sit right. "Ella, are you there?" Leo’s voice on the other end of the phone snapped her out of her thoughts. "Ah, Leo, what did you just say? I didn’t hear you clearly because of the signal," Ella quickly replied, trying to refocus. "It’s fine," Leo said, a smile in his voice. "I’ll repeat it. I suspected Lucas would have Aaron help with this investigation. Even though Apex Hospital is a private institution, Aaron’s colleague, Lane, is my senior. I helped him a bit when he was overseas." ELLA’s heart skipped a beat. "So, what’s going on? What did they find?" "Aaron used the pretense of a routine physical examination to perform paternity tests for the two children," Leo continued, his

When Amy walked into the office, she was already bubbling with anger. Seeing Matt standing there, calm and collected, only made things worse. “People say that Mr. Matt here has a thing for protecting his subordinates, and it’s nice to finally see it in action. I just wonder what Mrs. Matt would say about her husband defending a woman so fiercely.” Her words were as sharp as a blade. Matt merely chuckled, crossing his arms as he leaned back against his desk. “Miss Amy, you’re getting all worked up over nothing. For the record, my wife and I split nearly ten years ago. Even if she knew about this, she wouldn’t bat an eyelash.” Amy’s eyes narrowed as she processed this. “So, you’re divorced?” She paused, eyeing him. “Come to think of it, Lila is also divorced…with kids. I suppose it makes sense. You two seem…compatible.” Her words dripped with sarcasm, but there was a bite to them, as if she was almost daring him to defend Lila. “Miss Amy,” Matt said, his voice low but firm,
