Hearing this, Layla agreed. “All right. Please go ahead and give him my contact information.”“Got it!”*At that moment, Xavier was on the phone, proudly reporting his success.“How about it? I came through for you, didn’t I? I got your girl trending at the top of the hot search list!“Spending thirty million for a good cause and earning a huge favor from you—this is hands down the best money I’ve ever spent!”Listening to the smug laughter on the other end of the line, William remained quiet for a few seconds before giving a flat reply. “Good job.”Xavier immediately felt frustrated. “That’s it? Nothing else?”“Yeah.”Standing by the tall window, sunlight in his eyes, William asked casually, “Has Zion come after you again?”“It’s been two days since he last contacted me. But now that the news is out today, you can bet he’s not going to leave me alone.”Xavier sighed heavily. “I sacrificed a lot for your woman, you know. If I end up traumatized from all this, yo

“Yeah.”Just a soft, low response.Ivan was caught off guard for a moment before bursting into loud laughter. “Nice! All that hard work wasn’t for nothing. You two are finally making progress!”William had always been steady and cautious. If something didn’t fully meet his expectations, he wouldn’t give a definite answer. So even without any detailed explanation, just that one word was enough.“By the way...” Ivan suddenly thought of something, his eyes lighting up with a teasing glint. “Was it because of that kiss the other night?”A cold glare shot his way.But Ivan just laughed even harder. “What’s the big deal? We’re all adults here. It was just a kiss. You don’t have to be so uptight about it!”He leaned in with a mischievous grin. “But seriously... under those circumstances, you still managed to stop at just a kiss? Are you sure you’re... fully functional?”As he spoke, Ivan deliberately gave William a once-over, grinning wickedly.“Are you looking to die toda

Unexpectedly, Scarlett didn’t react the way Mrs. Jenkins had hoped. Instead, she seemed distracted.“She...” Scarlett frowned, forcing out a stiff response. “She’s definitely not a good person.”But... she didn’t seem that bad either.The second half of her thought, Scarlett kept to herself.After all, in this setting, if she dared to speak up for Layla, she would only make herself stand out and not in a good way.Besides, it was her own son that Layla had "harmed."And yet, after watching quietly these past few days, Scarlett had seen a side of Layla she had never seen before.Since the promotional video’s success, Layla had been leaving early and coming back late, throwing herself completely into her work. She didn’t even bother cooking anymore, much less looking for opportunities to see William.This didn’t look like a woman desperate to cling to someone rich. It looked more like a woman determined to become someone successful on her own.Back at the round table

That evening, William knocked on the door next door.When Layla opened it, she didn’t see Scarlett anywhere and couldn’t help but ask, “Where’s Mrs. Lucas?”“She’s not coming. Probably ate enough at the gathering today.”After a brief explanation, William stepped inside, speaking casually, “I saw today’s trending topics.”“I actually invited you over to talk about that!” Layla followed behind him, her face lit up with excitement. “I really didn’t expect the promotional video to attract such a major corporation! Fabian told me the kids will soon have a brand-new space to play and learn. They’re all thrilled!“I didn’t know much about YT Corporation before this, but after hearing about everything they’ve done, I was really impressed. They’ve been committed to children’s charities for years—building schools, sponsoring education for kids in the mountains.“For a company to care so much about children’s welfare, the CEO must have a really kind heart.“He even asked Fabian for

“Don’t get involved in her business anymore.” William picked up his utensils and bowl, clearly signaling he wanted to end the conversation.Layla hesitated, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she just lowered her gaze, hiding the flicker of thought in her eyes.*Meanwhile, Scarlett was tossing and turning in bed, completely unable to sleep. Her stomach growled loudly, and eventually, she gave up and got out of bed, heading to the kitchen to raid the fridge.Inside, there was only half a bag of sad-looking whole wheat bread and a few eggs.Scarlett shut the door with a hopeless look, instantly regretting her earlier stubbornness. Why had she refused dinner?Clenching her teeth, she downed a glass of warm water, threw on a jacket, and headed out the door.She figured, after years of being spoiled with gourmet food, just a few meals of Layla’s home cooking had completely won her over. There had to be some home-style restaurant nearby that could satisfy

When William got home and pushed open the door, he immediately saw Scarlett sitting on the sofa, stewing in anger. The living room lights weren’t even on.Even from a distance, he could feel the heavy cloud of resentment surrounding her.He casually flipped on the lights and walked over. “You really didn’t eat tonight?”Scarlett huffed, puffing up like an angry cat. “I was going to, but your father pissed me off so much I’m full of rage instead.”“Oh?” William raised an eyebrow with interest. “He came by?”“He was skulking around like a thief. I ran into him outside.”Scarlett turned to him, her eyes sharp. “Be honest with me—over the years, you’ve seen how I treated your father, haven’t you? I was good to him, right? I did everything he said!”William thought for a moment, taking the question quite seriously. “I guess you could say that.”“What do you mean, ‘guess’?” Scarlett shot him a glare. “It’s a fact! Back when I was at the Dixon family home, I got anything I wante

Scarlett's interest was piqued for a second, but then she quickly lost her enthusiasm. “Forget it.”On the other end of the line, Mrs. Jenkins instantly panicked. “You don’t want them?”From what she knew, Mr. Lucas Sr. was a big fan of Zeppelin Mason’s paintings. Scarlett had even gone out of her way before to buy one as a gift for him.Before making the call, Mrs. Jenkins had felt confident that these two exhibition tickets would surely win Scarlett over and help smooth things over after yesterday’s awkward gathering.But now Scarlett was turning them down?Not willing to give up yet, Mrs. Jenkins cautiously added, “I heard from my father-in-law that Mr. Mason plans to announce his retirement at this exhibit. After this show, he probably won’t make any more public appearances. Are you really sure you don’t want to go with Mr. Lucas Sr. to see it?”The moment Scarlett heard Mr. Lucas Sr.'s name, her anger flared. “I’m not going!”The call ended abruptly.Mrs. Jenki

After seeing Xena off, the deep tenderness in Sean’s eyes faded as quickly as a retreating tide.Last night, while lying in his arms, Xena had brought up Layla. She mentioned that Layla had refused Mr. Xander’s request to meet with Mr. Perry Sr.Anything involving Layla was exactly what Sean didn’t want to deal with.Yet no matter how hard he tried, it seemed he could never truly get away from her.Recently, Layla had been trending online more often, and every time, Sean fought the urge to look. But even when he wasn't trying, her news would pop up everywhere.When he first heard that Layla had gotten involved with William and was being suppressed by Mr. Lucas Sr., he had felt a savage sense of satisfaction. He had wished for her downfall. Only then would she regret ever leaving him. But things hadn’t gone the way he expected. Instead of falling into disgrace, Layla had risen back into the public eye—shining brightly through a simple promotional video about a small town.Sh

At thirty years old, Xavier found himself lost and aimless. It was not until he met William that he found a new sense of purpose.In Xavier’s eyes, William had always been a towering figure—strong, capable, seemingly unstoppable. It never crossed his mind that someone like William could ever be troubled by something as messy as love.Now he was genuinely curious to see for himself just how special this Layla Xander really was, that she could make William spend so much time and effort on her.*As the end of the workday approached, the executive floor slowly emptied out.The tea in front of Zion had long gone cold, but still there was no sign of Xavier. The longer he waited, the more restless and anxious he grew.“Sir, are you still planning to drink this?” One of the cleaning staff pointed at the abandoned teacup and asked, “We’re getting ready to leave for the day. Aren’t you heading out too?”Zion frowned. “Mr. Taylor’s not off work yet. I’ll wait a little longer.”T

At the agreed time and place, Layla arrived right on schedule.As soon as she stepped into the lobby, she caught sight of Carly hurrying toward the main doors. Not far behind her, Shane quickly caught up and grabbed her wrist.“Let go!” Carly shouted angrily, her voice echoing through the lobby and drawing the attention of several bystanders.But Shane showed no intention of letting go. From a distance, it looked like he was trying to talk her into something, but Layla was too far away to hear what was being said. All she could see was Carly’s face, full of disgust and fury.Remembering the harsh words Carly had thrown out when she quit, Layla hesitated for a moment. Maybe she really shouldn’t get involved.She was just about to turn away and pretend she hadn't seen anything when Carly suddenly screamed, “Let go of me! I’m not going with you!”Layla sighed and, raising her voice, called out, “Where’s security? Does a place this big not even have security?”Hearing he
