Halsey nearly choked on her steak. "Mom! What are you talking about? I don't think of Calvin that way!"Patricia shrugged. "Well, you're not getting any younger. You couldn't forget Shaun before, but now he's moved on with his life. It's time for you to start fresh, too. You won't be young forever. I was just talking with Mrs. Johnson, and she gently brought up the idea of a match between our families. She really likes you, and your dad and I like Calvin a lot."Calvin was the scholarly one in their circle. He had good character and was well-mannered, practically flawless in every way. Patricia and Cyril held him in high regard.Halsey sighed. "That's not on my mind right now.""Well, it should. Don't be stubborn and waste your youth. We just want you to find someone who loves you and gives you a home," Patricia said, her tone full of earnest concern.Not wanting to worry her parents, Halsey replied, "I know. Just give me a little time."Patricia placed a slice of food on Halsey'

Halsey's skin was smooth and radiant, impossible to resist. Shaun slid one hand up her dress while the other tugged at his belt, his voice low and rough. "You wanted to thank me, right? Well, this is how I want it. What do you say?"Halsey struggled against him. "No! I don't want this!""You're unbelievable. Just once, and we're even," Shaun sneered.Halsey felt like she was losing her mind. Shaun already had a girlfriend, so why was he still doing this to her? She didn't want to be with him like this."No! I said no! Can't you hear me? Let go! You're hurting me... It hurts... It really hurts..."Her cries of pain made Shaun's heart twist and tingle. He leaned down to kiss her, whispering, "Be quiet."Halsey's hands dug into his arm, scratching through his suit fabric until they drew blood.Shaun buried his face in her neck. In the darkness, everything felt chaotic. He greedily breathed in the sweet, soft scent of her skin, kissing her earlobe. "Haven't you been with a man

Shaun had accepted that he would never be the same as before.Halsey used to love him so much, but now, looking at his face, she probably didn't anymore. That must be why she didn't want to be intimate with him.He could feel her resistance and refusal when they were in bed earlier.Today, he had lost control."Got it. You can leave.""Okay."Martin then left.Shaun stood alone in the office, staring at the chat interface. Halsey hadn't replied at all.A bitter smile curved his lips. Still, he wrote, [Goodnight.]-Halsey rested for two days. Madeline was coming home today, so Halsey got up early, preparing all of her favorite things.Just then, Patricia rushed in. "I have bad news!"Halsey startled. "What happened?""That troublesome worker was about to settle. He was planning to take the money and sign the agreement. This whole thing would be over once he signed the deal. But just now, your father called—he said the man suddenly disappeared! No one can find him."What?

After saying that, Halsey turned and left.Watching Halsey go, Chelsea smiled to herself."Ms. Sutton, shall we head upstairs? Mr. Lane is still in a meeting," the receptionist said. Chelsea waved her off. "I'll go up on my own. By the way, Shaun's been really busy lately, so you shouldn't bother him with small matters—like the woman who just came looking for him. No need to tell Shaun about that."The receptionist nodded quickly. "Got it, Ms. Sutton."Chelsea pulled a new lipstick from her bag. "I just bought this shade. I thought it would look good on you—consider it a gift."The receptionist's eyes lit up as she gratefully accepted it. "Thank you! If you ever need anything, just let me know."Chelsea smiled, lips curling slightly.-Halsey returned to the Lincoln family's estate. Patricia caught her by the arm. "Where did you go?"Halsey answered, "I went to see Shaun.""What did he say?""I didn't get to see him. He doesn't want to see me."What?Patricia frowned, th

Madeline didn't understand why there was this woman suddenly so close to Shaun. She sneered coldly, "What if I don't leave?"Chelsea smirked back, "Then I'll have someone throw you out.""Really?" Madeline shot back.Chelsea's eyes narrowed. "Really. Security!" she barked loudly.A few security guards in black suits quickly appeared, addressing Chelsea with respect. "Yes, Ms. Sutton?"Madeline's gaze grew even colder. Clearly, this whole company treated Chelsea with great deference. No wonder Halsey had ended things with Shaun—if it were Madeline, she wouldn't stand for it either.Chelsea gave the order, "This woman is causing trouble. Get her out of here!""Right away!"Two guards grabbed Madeline firmly, one on each side.Madeline struggled fiercely. "Let go of me! Do you even know who I am?"Chelsea scoffed, "You're just another woman trying to seduce Shaun. With me around, you won't get within a mile of him!""You'd better not get too cocky! Once you find out who I am, y
