Taking advantage of Sean’s momentary daze, Layla quickly pulled her hand free and ran straight toward William without hesitation.“Let’s go. There’s no need to waste any more time with him,” she said firmly.Layla naturally grabbed William’s hand and led him away.Sean chased after them for a few steps but could only watch helplessly as they disappeared into the distance. Frustrated, he slammed his fist hard against the wall.Why?After everything she had suffered, why would she still choose William Lucas?Was getting into the Lucas family really that important to her?Besides money and power, what else did that family have to offer? It was nothing but a pit of fire!William, sensing the hostile gaze burning into his back, said casually, “Looks like I’ll need to have a word with the staff here. From now on, no one from the Perry family should even be allowed past the gate.”“Yeah,” Layla replied without a second thought, not bothering to let it weigh on her mind.From a dista

After leaving the nursing home, on the way to the parking lot, Scarlett kept glancing suspiciously at Layla.Catching her gaze by chance, Layla didn’t get upset. Instead, she smiled politely and asked, “Mrs. Lucas, would you like to come to the art exhibition too?”“No,” Scarlett refused flatly, turning her head away with a huff. She muttered under her breath, “Even if I wanted to, I wouldn’t need to tag along with you. Plenty of people invite me to gallery shows, and I haven't accepted a single one yet!”Layla glanced at William, and the two shared a knowing smile.Together, the group walked into the setting sun, their figures slowly fading into the distance.Under a nearby tree, Sean stood silently, his eyes reflecting the evening glow like tiny flames, burning holes into Layla’s retreating back.*Meanwhile, Kiera was shopping at the mall with her mother-in-law, Susan.Susan frowned at her phone. “Didn’t Sean say he was coming to have dinner with us? How come we haven’t hear

At the Lucas estate, Mr. Lucas Sr. stood in his study, staring absentmindedly at a landscape painting hanging on the wall.Lucien pushed the door open and walked over to his father’s side. He glanced at the painting. It was one of Zeppelin Mason’s works.Sensing that his father wasn’t speaking and that the atmosphere felt a little off, Lucien spoke cautiously. “Dad, you wanted to see me?”“I thought we should talk about the company. Since you’ve taken over, have you run into any problems?”Lucien shifted uncomfortably and hesitated before answering, “No problems...” He sneaked a look at Mr. Lucas Sr., then asked carefully, “Are you worried I can’t handle it?”“I trust your abilities,” Mr. Lucas Sr. said calmly. “It’s just that you haven’t really brought up much about the company lately, so I thought I’d check in. If anything does come up, you’d better not try to hide it from me.”He turned away from the painting and walked toward his desk, picking up his teacup and taking a sl

Zeppelin let out a cough, shooting Seth a warning look, signaling him not to scare Layla off.Only then did Seth pull himself together. “Sorry, Miss Xander,” he said sheepishly. “I got a little too excited. I didn’t scare you, did I?”Layla shook her head gently. “Receiving Director Mason’s praise is an honor for me.”“No, no — meeting you is my honor!” Seth grinned brightly, clearly struggling to contain his enthusiasm.Layla couldn’t help feeling a little unsettled. Why did it feel like Seth was staring at her the way a hunter looked at his prey? It was... a little unnerving.Zeppelin, unable to watch any longer, stepped in to explain. “It’s like this — Seth’s a director, and you’re a photographer. For this exhibition’s promotional film, I was hoping the two of you could work together.”“Huh?” Layla blinked in surprise. The script had already been finalized and now they were dropping a director into the project?Seth immediately picked up on her hesitat

“Pretty good,” Layla said seriously after thinking it over for a moment. “But it would've been even better if he wasn’t quite so enthusiastic.”Seth really was a little too friendly, pushing past the social distance Layla was used to.If he had been a complete stranger, she probably would have thought he was some kind of weirdo. But since he was Zeppelin’s grandson, that connection naturally made him feel a little more familiar, a little easier to trust.“Maybe that’s just the way he is,” Layla said with a small smile. “It’s actually pretty rare for someone in their thirties to keep that kind of pure, genuine enthusiasm.“When it comes to relationships, you have to be willing to take the first step or nothing ever happens. Besides, if you’re still timid at this age, you’ll never get anywhere.”Because the evening had been so relaxed and pleasant, Layla was completely at ease, speaking whatever came to mind without filtering herself.But William, sitting silently beside h
