I asked, “Why?”Nicholas smiled. “Silly girl, who would kill a goose that lays golden eggs? Your shares in Moore Group are your lifetime security. Just focus on building a happy life with Miles.”My chest tightened with emotion. “Bro, you’re so good to me.”He waved a hand. “Come on, what are you saying? Wait... are you crying? Seriously?”Feeling embarrassed, I wiped at my eyes. “Shut up. I just said you’re good to me. I can’t lose you.”Nicholas frowned. “Don’t talk nonsense. You’ll always have your brother. I’m not going anywhere. Why would you even say that?”After comforting me for a while, he was about to leave.I tugged at his sleeve. He groaned. “What now, my little drama queen?”I lowered my voice. “Why won’t you let me see Mom and Dad?”His smile faltered.My heart dropped. I heard the shift in his breath. “Bro... are you hiding something from me? What happened to them? You…”As my thoughts spiraled into the worst-case scenario, my vision went black at the edges.My knees bu

My fear peaked the moment the man in black stopped in front of my car.He knocked on the window in a polite and measured manner.I stayed frozen for a long while before slowly rolling it down. “You... what do you want?”The man bowed slightly. “Miss White, Mr. Vaughn would like a word with you. If you don’t mind, would you be willing to step out for a moment?”I tried to steady myself. “About what? And is nearly running me off the road your way of showing sincerity?”My voice trembled, and I didn’t know if he could hear the fear behind the bravado.The man gave an apologetic look. “I’m truly sorry, Miss White. That was my fault. I was a little too eager. I’ll make sure to formally apologize another day.”I waved him off. “Don’t bother. As for Mr. Vaughn... I’m not available today.”My blunt refusal caught him off guard.I stared straight at the black car, eyes fixed.I could feel someone watching me from inside. That unseen gaze—silent and cold—made my skin crawl.The man tried to per

The quiet hall was left with just the two of us.I looked into his deep-set eyes and suddenly felt flustered.His gaze was too intense. It burned, making my cheeks flush and my ears turn red.I stammered, “W-why are you looking at me like that?”Miles wrapped an arm around my waist, asking lazily, “Take a guess.”I thought for a while and shook my head. “I really can’t.”His eyes took on a wounded look. “I knew it. You’re so busy you’ve forgotten everything.”Hearing that, I racked my brain harder.“My birthday? No, that can’t be. Mine’s at the start of the year. I’m an Aries.“Yours? No, your birthday hasn’t come yet either. Then what is it? What other important dates are there?“Your mom’s birthday? No, that’s next week.”I blurted out a few guesses, all wrong.Miles looked at me, amused by my confusion.I gave up. Leaning against his chest, I asked playfully, “Come on, just tell me.”Like a magician, Miles suddenly pulled a black velvet ring box from his pocket.I froze.Then he o

I racked my brain but couldn’t figure out who it might’ve been. That quick glimpse I caught didn’t look like Chloe at all and she had no reason to sabotage the brand event.With those thoughts still circling, I drifted off to sleep.The next morning, I was jolted awake by the alarm. Glancing at the time, I quickly got up to wash and get ready before rushing to the company.Dolly was already hard at work, and I immediately joined her. I was so caught up in the chaos, I didn’t even have time to mention last night’s incident.The day flew by in a blur. By evening, the guests began arriving, dressed to the nines.This wasn’t a sales-driven showcase, it was more about presence and style, so the atmosphere felt relaxed and elegant.Soft music played in the background. Delicate hors d'oeuvres, fine wines, and colorful cocktails were laid out across a beautifully arranged buffet. Guests gathered to chat and take photos, bathed in the warm glow of the venue lighting.At six, Miles arrived

Dolly finally lost her patience when I stayed silent for too long.She dragged me out of the tent and demanded, “What’s going on? Spit it out already. I still have rich housewives to flatter.”Left with no choice, I told her what I saw.She frowned. “That’s it? You think one of the models is someone Miles knows? Come on, no way. These models are all from out of town.”She peeked back into the tent and muttered, “Not a single pretty one in sight. They all look like walking skeletons.”I wanted to laugh but couldn’t shake my unease. “But the way he looked at them was like he recognized someone.”Dolly rolled her eyes. “Maybe he did. Or maybe one of them just looked familiar. Relax, Eve. If you ever have a love rival, she’d be someone like Miss Linda Lee—a polished socialite type. “And haven’t you noticed? Ever since she realized Miles wasn’t interested in her, she’s completely disappeared.”I blinked. “Why would she disappear?”Dolly gave me a look of utter exasperation. “Because her fa
