Chapter 221

"Ah!" I gasped in shock and instinctively pulled the blanket closer.A shadow loomed over me, carrying a faint, fresh scent.I stared blankly as he lay down beside me, then suddenly pulled me into his arms."N-No... this isn’t right," I stammered, my teeth chattering.Miles tucked the blanket around me. "Go to sleep. I won’t touch you."Huh? Really?I lay down obediently. But when I turned my head, I saw that impossibly handsome face right next to mine.That beauty... no, that charm...I watched curiously as he took off his glasses. His smooth, broad forehead, lightly covered by a few strands of fringe, and those long, defined brows that slanted like sharp blades toward his temples.His eyes were deep-set, nose tall and straight.And his lips—faintly tinted rose—made my heart skip a beat.Suddenly, Miles opened his eyes. "Can’t sleep?"I quickly shrank back, pulling the blanket over my shoulders. "No, I can... I’m fine..."He shifted away a little. "Don’t worry. I’m just tired too. I

Was I really that desperate?I scolded myself inwardly, then smiled sweetly at Miles. “Miles, you should sleep now. I won’t bother you anymore, I promise.”He gave me a long look before finally closing his eyes and falling back into deep sleep.My mind wandered endlessly, I wasn’t even sure what I was thinking about.His steady breathing beside me, the warmth radiating from his body... my so-called virtue was being tested like never before.I felt so conflicted.And just like that, lost in thought and frustration, I drifted off to sleep without even realizing it.What I didn’t know was that after I fell asleep, Miles slowly opened his eyes.He quietly reached over and pulled me into his arms, holding me gently. Only then did he finally fall asleep in peace....I didn’t wake up until noon.Surprisingly, I had slept straight through the night.After freshening up, Mary brought in a table full of delicious food.She fussed with lingering worry. "Miss White, you really gave me a scare. D

Things always moved along more smoothly when professionals were involved.James sent over the settlement agreement and walked me through the details.Julian’s intentions were clear. He offered two options—one was to repay my investment, dividends, and the accrued value in installments over ten years. The second option involved returning just the dividends for now, while the rest stayed in Moore Group. In that case, I’d get a seat on the board and a vote in certain decisions. The value appreciation would still be compensated based on a set percentage.Both options were solid and showed his sincerity.James said, “Miss White, if Moore Group has strong prospects, the second option might be a smart choice. But it seems Mr. Wynn is leaning toward a third proposal.”I raised an eyebrow. “What’s the third one?”James replied, “Mr. Wynn personally suggests a full repayment of one hundred million within three years, with annual dividend payments calculated at a fixed interest rate. The whol

Pierse straightened up, trying to sound upbeat. "It’s okay. My brother’s the one who messed up, not you."He forced a light laugh. "You’ll always be my sister-in-law, and he’ll always be my brother. Doesn’t change anything for me."Then I suddenly remembered something. "That great-grandfather you mentioned..."Pierse scratched his head. "Yeah, he said he’ll reach out when he has time. Can I give him your number?"I froze. "Wait, you didn’t give him my number already?"Pierse replied with righteous conviction, "How could I just hand out a girl’s number like that? “Besides, I didn’t know if he was going to say something awful to you. What if he called just to chew you out on my brother’s behalf?"What if he pretended he could help get your money back but was actually trying to scam you again?"I was speechless and didn’t know how to react.“You... actually make a lot of sense. How about this—why don’t we call him now, while we’re eating?"Pierse nodded.So, I took him to his favorite st

Just as we were getting ready to leave, Abby walked through the front door.She was dressed to the nines, looking flashy and overdone. Freshly curled hair framed her unnaturally pale, sharply contoured face, bold red lipstick, and eyeshadow in a garish shade of hot pink that didn’t match her age at all.She strolled in, chatting and laughing with two equally glammed-up women by her side.I spotted her the moment she walked in, and my expression instantly changed.I quickly tugged on Pierse’s sleeve.He turned around, caught sight of her, and nearly dove under the table."Go, now!" I whispered urgently, motioning toward the back exit.Without a word, Pierse grabbed his backpack and bolted.But it was too late—Abby had already seen him.She froze for a second, then her face twisted with fury. "You little brat! How dare you skipped school?!"In just a few strides, she stormed over and blocked our table.Seeing how furious she was, Pierse stopped running and instead moved to stand protect

He shrank behind me, shoulders curled inward.A pang of sympathy rose in my chest. I took his hand and held it, then looked straight at Abby. “Mrs. Moore, he’s just a kid. Can’t you give him a little dignity? Don’t talk to him like that. Pierse is a good boy.”Abby let out a mocking laugh, her tone dripping with disdain. “Well, aren’t you just the caring one, Evelyn. First you insisted on marrying my son, now you can’t wait to divorce him. Tsk, I heard you’ve already found someone new? Figures...”The two women beside her immediately turned to me with sneering looks, whispering to each other with smug expressions. Their eyes were sharp as blades, and their judgment cut through me like a chill in the air.Pierse opened his mouth, clearly about to launch another verbal grenade at his mother, but I quickly stopped him.Trying to keep my temper in check, I said calmly, “Mrs. Moore, this is a public place. Making a scene won’t reflect well on anyone.”She scoffed coldly. “Worried about a

I tried to comfort him. “Maybe when you’re older, your mom will start treating you better.”Pierse clenched his fists until his knuckles cracked. He looked at me with quiet despair. “She won’t. Because Moore Group is going to my brother. I don’t have any shares. To her, I’m just a burden.”My heart ached. I could only try to soothe him.He was still a kid, after all. It didn’t take long before his mood started to settle.“I’ll go back to school and study hard,” he said with determination. “One day, I’m going to prove to every single person who looked down on me wrong.”I nodded. “Good.”He looked at me for a long time, then suddenly dropped his head, voice thick with emotion. “You’re like my real sister, you know. I swear, one day I’ll repay you.”I tried to smile and say something comforting, but my throat tightened and my nose began to sting.The little boy who used to trail behind me, calling me “Eve” over and over again, had finally grown up. He could see the truth now—he’d grow

Miles sat at the dining table, watching Pierse stomp around with an amused smile.I could only say to Pierse, “This place belongs to him.”Pierse fell silent.Fuming, he stormed into the guest room and started messing with his things.Hearing all the banging and rustling inside, I gave Miles an apologetic smile. “He’s just a kid. He’s only staying for a day before heading back to school. Don’t take it personally.”Miles chuckled. “I didn’t expect the Moore family to have such an entertaining little guy. Still, he’s a lot better than my brother.”I let out an awkward laugh. “Can’t be helped... wait, your brother?”He gave a brief nod. “Trey was way more rebellious than him when he was younger. Still causing trouble even now.”I asked what kind of trouble.Miles replied casually, “Women,” and didn’t say anything more.Just then, Pierse came out with a scowl. “Eve, I don’t get this question.”I glanced at it. The page was packed with dense foreign text.My brain started to spin again.“I

I asked anxiously, “Why put so much pressure on him? He’s still a kid.”Miles casually tapped his iPad. “A kid? He’s already a teenager. And we can’t let him grow into another ungrateful Moore, can we?”His words struck a chord deep inside me....That settled things for Pierse. He continued living on campus, but came over for tutoring on Monday, Wednesday, Friday nights, and weekends.On the surface, things between him and Miles looked neutral, like they stayed out of each other’s way. But I could tell Miles didn’t actually dislike this so-called “baggage.” In fact, he had his assistant bring in a few more top tutors.Pierse put away his youthful arrogance and started focusing on his studies seriously.As for me, I quietly waited for the first court mediation.The day we agreed on for the mediation arrived quickly.Somehow, I couldn’t sleep the night before. The next morning, I felt drained. I forced myself to wake up with a strong cup of coffee.Mary gave me a worried look. “Miss

“Julian, did you really mean it?”“I did.”“Swear it!”“I swear, if I ever let you down, I’ll…”“Swallow ten thousand needles.”“What?”My voice was more serious than ever. “Those who betray true love must swallow ten thousand needles. So, Julian, you can’t ever let me down…”“You can’t let me down, okay…”...A sharp pain throbbed in my head, and I instinctively held my forehead.Julian noticed something was off and couldn’t help but speak. “Evelyn, stop acting like some pitiful victim. You know I can’t come up with that much money right now…”Fighting through the pain, I stared at him and spoke slowly, word by word, “Those who betray true love must swallow ten thousand needles…”Julian froze. “What?”I let out a bitter smile. “You swore, remember? If you betrayed my love, you'd swallow ten thousand needles.”He had no response.I turned to James. “I’m not feeling well. You handle the rest.”Without waiting for anyone to speak, I stood up and walked out of the room.My vision blurred,
