Richard immediately turned to the approaching security. “Separate them. Escort Mrs. Moore downstairs for some tea.”Julian exploded. “Grandfather, how could you take the side of an outsider like that?!”At last, Richard showed the authority of the true head of the Moore family.“I’m not taking anyone’s side,” he said coldly. “Let me formally introduce her—Evelyn White is a major shareholder of Moore Group. "Mr. Burns and the other three founding shareholders have unanimously recommended that she attend today’s board meeting.”As he spoke, he motioned to his secretary, who handed over a prepared letter of recommendation.Julian’s face turned even grimmer as he took the document.One glance at it and his expression darkened further. The letter carried the personal signatures of all five senior shareholders.He stared at it for several long seconds before turning his gaze on me.I stayed silent.Then, suddenly, Julian gave me a smile—sharp, cold, cutting. “You got what you wanted, Evel

"Okay, bye!""No, see you in a bit!""See you in a bit.""Mwah! Kiss kiss!""Kiss kiss.""You have to say 'mwah mwah'!""Alright, mwah mwah!"After who knows how many rounds of “mwah mwah,” I finally hung up.There was a knock at the door. Mary walked in, trying hard not to laugh.I looked at her, only she looked like two or three of her.I squinted. "Mary, there’s two of you. Can you shapeshift?"She brought over a bowl of soup. "Oh, sweetie, I was only in the kitchen for a minute, and you already drank that much? Come drink this hangover tea."I stared at her for a second, then suddenly burst into tears.She panicked. "Oh no, what’s wrong, honey? Why are you crying all of a sudden?""I want my mom... Grandma... Grandma..."...When I woke up, it was already completely dark outside.My head was still spinning, and my mouth felt as dry as cotton.Click—the warm light from the floor lamp flicked on.I groaned and covered my eyes. "Too bright..."The bed dipped slightly beside me. Someo

A pawn?Chloe actually had the nerve to call herself a pawn?If that was what being a pawn looked like, then she was living the high life on the chessboard.I handed my phone to Sharon and Dolly for a quick look.Dolly slammed her hand on the table. "Classic manipulative flirt! This is textbook fishing-for-sympathy. "All that 'we’re just like siblings,' 'I don’t even love him,' 'I’m only staying with him to protect his pride' crap. 'I can’t bear to hurt him'—ugh, give me a break!"She made a gagging noise for emphasis.Sharon gave a cool smile. "Miss Chloe is quite the strategist."Despite the words, her eyes were full of disdain.Sharon was the embodiment of an independent woman—running a successful gallery in a cutthroat industry. She didn't get that far without a strong sense of self and a good deal of vision. She had zero respect for women like Chloe.Fuming, Dolly declared, "I’m going to expose her.""Don’t," I said. "Let her keep performing."Sharon nodded in agreement. "Eve d

Linda caught me staring and gave a soft smile. “Miss White, I think we could actually be good friends. You seem like a really kind person.”I looked away from her overly bright gaze and gave a faint smile. “Maybe…”Dolly wedged herself in front of me, grinning at Linda. “Miss Lee, you’re stunning. It’s lovely to meet you.”She extended her hand politely.Linda returned the smile and reached out to shake her hand, but before they could touch, Kira suddenly stepped in and shoved Dolly’s hand aside with open hostility.“What do you think you’re doing? Miss Lee doesn’t know you and has no reason to.”Dolly had never liked her to begin with. After being pushed, her expression turned frosty.She gave a cold snort. “Wow, Miss Kira, you really do play the lapdog role to perfection.”Kira didn’t even flinch. She looked smug. “Miss Jones, people like you—born into nothing—shouldn’t try to mingle where you don’t belong. It's embarrassing to watch.”Dolly let out a sharp laugh. “That’s rich. I ca

I shot her a glare. “You already said Kira’s an idiot. Why would I bother arguing with her? And as for Linda, she never did anything to hurt me. Why would I fight her?”Sharon chuckled. “Alright, alright. Don’t worry, Eve. Miles would never go for someone like Linda.”My eyes lit up for a split second and then dimmed just as fast. “How can you be so sure?”Sharon gave me a knowing wink. “I just know. We went to school together, remember? That type of girl was never his style.”Suddenly, I remembered something Miles had once said about Linda.The next thing I knew, I burst out laughing.When the laughter faded, I realized Dolly was staring at me like I’d completely lost it.“I wasn’t laughing,” I stammered. “I mean, I didn’t mean to...”Dolly turned to Sharon. “She’s gone. Look at her, grinning like a fool. Honestly, I think she’s more like Linda than she wants to admit.”Sharon blinked playfully. “Even if she were, Miles still wouldn’t fall for her.”Something about her tone made my ea
