I eyed the food he left on my plate and thanked Soren before adding impishly, "So… everything?""Everything."I suppressed an evil grin. "How much do you have in your savings? What about your pin number? Tell me about your property and cars. How many girlfriends have you ever had? Who did you have a crush on before? Has anyone ever had a crush on you? Do you have 'a girl that got away?'"I immediately dropped a list. "Tell me—everything!" He laughed, shaking his head. He placed his utensils down and looked at me. "Alright, let me answer them one by one, okay?"Well, to be honest? I've never paid attention to how much money I have in my savings. Probably a few hundreds of millions, maybe. The password is my birthday if translated to a lunar calendar."I don't own a lot of properties if I'm being honest. One is a condominium unit near my office. Sometimes, when I am so inundated by work that I have no time to go home, I'll stay there. Another is a vacation villa—it's a pretty quie

Soren chuckled. "Oh, did you only just realize you didn't love him now?""I… I mean! I have to have some kind of feelings for him, right? For sure!" I protested weakly, trying to defend my first relationship from being a total sham, even from my end.Soren shook his head. "I don't think so. A couple that truly loves each other wouldn't be able to refrain from making love for more than six years."What? What?!I glared at him, my face beet-red. Then I quickly glanced around the restaurant, worried that anyone might overhear our conversation.After a moment of my brain trying to process what he'd said, I grumbled under my breath, "How did you know?!"Soren smiled mischievously. "Why, you told me yourself. You were drunk that night, though.""I said that?! How could that be?!" I wanted to die. We weren't even in any relationship beyond "an awkward ambiguity between a client and a seamstress," and I told him I was a virgin?!I took a deep breath, trying to clear my mind before re

When Soren was that persistent, the silence of letting him do whatever he wanted was all I had.-Sarah and I had taken turns caring for my grandmother over the past few days. Thanks to Soren, the director of the hospital had sent their best team to handle my grandmother's case.A week later, she had made a remarkable recovery. She seemed reinvigorated and was ready to be discharged.I arrived at the hospital early in the morning to assist with the discharge process.Then, my aunt and I drove her home together.My grandmother mentioned my "mysterious friend who helped us" and asked if we had thanked him.I glanced at the rearview mirror and nodded. "Oh, I treated him to a meal."Sarah met my eyes through the mirror and asked, "It's not Mr. Kenway, right?"I shot her a look. I wanted to deny it, but... should I?If I ended up with Soren one day, my grandmother and aunt would have to know. Maybe I should prepare them now."Mm-hmm," I said quietly.My aunt's suspicion was imme

The police officer was momentarily stunned before quickly moving to stop her.Sally, too, was visibly shocked. Holding her daughter in her arms, she cried, "I'm not being biased, Edith! Your brother's very sick... What are we supposed to do?"Sally suddenly glared at me, trying to pin the blame on me again."This is all your fault, Taylor! You told us you'd already deleted the video!" That's when it hit me.Edward had dared to appeal because he believed I no longer had the evidence against Edith.Did this mean… Patrick had deliberately planned to run into me in the hospital parking lot that day?A cold chill ran down my spine as a wave of fear washed over me.I had always thought Patrick was the only reasonable person in his family, the one with a sense of conscience.But now, it was clear that he wasn't as nice as he seemed. In fact, he was much better at concealing his true intentions—and far more cunning."It's true I deleted the video from my phone and my Cloud, Patrick wi

I had just poured Soren a glass of hot water, putting on a darkened expression to pretend I was angry. "Excuse me? Did you just compare me to a pig?"Soren burst into laughter, quickly adding, "It was a joke. I thought you needed it since you seemed to be in a bad mood."I pursed my lips and shot him a side-eye before turning away.I thought I had managed my emotions pretty well, but he could still tell I wasn't feeling good."I'm fine, it's under control. I'm not too worried. It'll take some time before this is all over, though," I said calmly, sitting down on the nearby sofa.Soren took a sip of his water, set his mug down, looked at me, and asked, "You told me you went to the police to file a report… Did you hand over the evidence against the Kennedys?""Yes. Edith tried to get me in trouble before, but I managed to gather evidence of her crimes. That's what I used to get Edward to agree to the annulment, but his entire family ended up helping him try to trick me.""Edward's
