Third Person's POVThe shareholders were taken aback by Vanya's bluntness."Miss Dalton, are you serious?" one of them asked in disbelief."Dead serious," Vanya replied coolly."If you want out, I won't stand in your way. Anyone else wishing to withdraw their shares can step forward now. I'll settle the accounts on the spot, and after that, you'll have no further ties to the Dalton Group."The shareholders exchanged nervous glances, none daring to make the first move.They had anticipated Vanya would cave in, but her willingness to agree to their withdrawal caught them off guard.A lanky shareholder sneered, "Don't let your youth and inexperience cloud your judgment, Miss Dalton! Do you have any idea how much money you'll need to buy us out?"Another chimed in mockingly, "If you can't pay up, we'll see you in court!"The Dalton Group's executives looked on with growing concern.A mass withdrawal of shares would de

Third Person's POVSeeing Vanya like this, Grace immediately understood.Her tone carried a touch of gentle scolding, "You're upset that Theodore isn't here in LA amidst everything that's happened these past few days, aren't you?""One can't always rely on others. He can't be by my side every moment. I have no reason to be angry," Vanya said, placing her coffee cup down. As the cup met the table, there seemed to be a faint sound of cracking ice in the air.Having lived through her previous life, she had long grasped this truth.Meeting Theodore after her rebirth felt like a miracle, but the past few days had shown her that even Theodore couldn't be with her every second."Theodore must have been delayed by something important," Grace quickly released calming pheromones to ease the cold tension in the air. "I've never seen him care about any girl the way he cares about you. It's just that... you know how special his work is."Theodore

Third Person's POVVanya's face flushed crimson, a reaction she had never experienced in her previous life.She wished desperately to vanish into a crack in the earth. Yet Theodore's body, like an impenetrable wall, trapped her in his embrace. His intertwining aura of ice and fire permeated every inch of space, leaving her no room to retreat. Her scent glands at the nape of her neck throbbed intensely from his extreme proximity."Vanya, answer me," Theodore urged, cradling her face in his hands. His thumbs gently caressed her feverish skin, compelling her to meet his gaze.In his fervent stare, Vanya discerned the sincerity and longing in his vertical pupils, akin to a lone wolf that had finally discovered a place to rest. Even his overwhelming aura softened into tender caution."I... I'm not divorced yet," Vanya whispered. "Once I am, I'll give you my answer."Theodore tenderly brushed her cheek with his warm palm, his deep voice steady. "I

Third Person's POVThe Helbut and Chambers families had long been close.When Mrs. Chambers gave birth to her daughter Ella and then left with the child after her husband's infidelity, the Chambers family never stopped searching for their daughter.The Helbut and Chambers families had even arranged a marriage between their children, but Ella's disappearance put everything on hold.After Zander took over the Helbut family, he used every resource to find Ella, determined to bring his fiancée home.Seeing this information, Grace couldn't help but sigh, "There really are deeply devoted people in these wealthy families."Then, she looked at Vanya doubtfully and asked, "Wait, how did you know Zander was acting for the Chambers family?"Vanya was momentarily at a loss—she couldn't very well mention the turmoil that erupted after Zander's fiancée passed away in her previous life.So she made an excuse, "I came acros

Third Person's POVVanya stared at her phone, her mind in turmoil.In her previous life, Zander had found his fiancée Ella half a year later. Now, for no apparent reason, it had happened half a year earlier, and the original Ella had been replaced by Melinda.If Ella wasn't dead, then Zander's vow of "never marrying again" from her previous life was null and void.While his deeply devoted persona remained intact, he now carried the humorous label of a "white knight."Grace, who was also waiting at the Winston residence for Theodore, said, "Haven't you been monitoring Melinda's mother all along? She must know whether her daughter is biologically hers.""I've just contacted Stewart and had his men ask her. We should have the answer soon," Vanya replied.Pausing for a moment, she added, "But I recall that Melinda and her mother were originally from Seattle.""Could it be that Melinda's mother kidnapped the Chambers family heiress?" Grace speculated."That doesn't add up. The Chambers fam
