“What? You actually ran into Layla?”Sean’s voice exploded through the phone, sending a jolt of panic through Mr. Zimmer.Mr. Zimmer instinctively held the phone away from his ear, then spoke with a nervous tone, “I... I don’t even know how Mrs. Perry ended up near Mr. Mason’s banquet hall. And honestly, I’m not sure if Layla actually saw her.“Mr. Perry, I’ve been thinking... this whole thing’s kind of shady. Maybe it’s better if you don’t involve me after all.”It had all started during a dinner party. Sean brought up the idea after a few too many drinks, and the more they talked, the wilder the plan got.Fueled by alcohol, Mr. Zimmer hadn’t thought it through before agreeing to help stage a fake cheating scandal, framing Kiera for seducing him while drunk.So tonight, he and Sean had slipped something into her wine. After just two glasses, Kiera was already disoriented. Sean handed her off to him, saying she was his to do with as he pleased.Mr. Zimmer’s lust took over, and h

One hour later, Sean stormed into the hospital room and rushed to Kiera’s bedside.“Kiera, are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere? I looked for you all night. I was worried sick!”Kiera’s heart felt like a cold, hollow shell, but she still forced herself to put on a frightened expression.“I drank too much last night. I think someone tried to take me to a hotel room so I ran.”She turned to Layla and added, “Luckily, I ran into Miss Xander. If not for her, I don’t know what might’ve happened.”Sean followed her gaze and gave Layla a noticeably softer look.“Layla, thank you.”The casual intimacy in his tone made Layla nauseous. She didn’t even bother responding, keeping her eyes only on Kiera.“Miss Jenkins, you really shouldn’t drink so much when you’re out,” she said flatly. “With your tolerance, it’s just asking for trouble.”Kiera nodded obediently. “I understand.”At that moment, William entered the room. He didn’t spare Sean a glance and addressed Layla with quiet conce

Kiera took a cab home from the hospital. Just as she stepped out of the car, a figure rushed up and grabbed her arm, making her jump.“Kiera! Where did you two go last night?”Startled, she turned around and saw Susan looking unusually excited. Kiera had a pretty good guess.“Mom, what’s going on? Did something happen?”“I…” Susan swallowed hard, her eyes flashing with venom. “Let’s go inside. We’ll talk there.”Once they were in the villa, Susan couldn’t wait to sit down before blurting out what had happened with the car accident.Kiera stared at Susan in shock. “Mom, weren’t you afraid something might go wrong?”“If something goes wrong, then so be it. That bitch Xena deserves it!”Susan scowled in disgust. “She seduced Sean in the first place, and that’s why he couldn’t take over the Perry family’s business. And now she dares stand in his way again? I’d be thrilled if she died.”The venom in Susan’s eyes made Kiera’s stomach turn. After all this time living under the same r

A week passed before Layla heard about Kiera again. In the meantime, Hannah had officially started planning the launch of her magazine.Layla was busy juggling meetings at QS Entertainment and editing the short video for the art exhibit. Her schedule was so packed that she barely had time to think about anything else.It was by chance that Hannah found out Seth Mason had helped with the filming and editing of the video. She immediately begged Layla to introduce them. She was eager to get to know him. Layla could only agree for now, saying they would set something up once the editing was done.That morning, right after a meeting, Layla received a call from William.“Levi just got word that Kiera faked a medical report to pretend she’s pregnant.”“What?” Layla was stunned for a moment before quickly realizing what Kiera was trying to do.To Sean, Xena’s child was an illegitimate one, something that would tarnish his reputation. But Kiera’s child? That would be a legitimate Perry he

News that Felix had stormed into the nursing home spread fast.By the time William and Layla arrived, the entrance was a scene of chaos—complete with Layla’s own family standing there too.Layla didn’t spare the Xander family so much as a glance. Her gaze was cold as she turned to Felix, who was still making a scene. “This isn’t the Perry family estate. If you’re going to throw a tantrum, at least make sure you’re in the right place.”Felix spun around at the sound of her voice, so furious he actually laughed. “Perfect timing! You two—tell your damn guard dog to back off!”Mike remained calm and unmoved. He looked to William and reported in a low voice, “Mr. Lucas, they’ve been stirring up trouble for almost an hour now. I’m guessing word has already reached Mr. Perry Sr.”“Thanks for holding the line,” William replied quietly. He then turned toward the crowd outside and swept a cool gaze across them. “You all carry a bit of status in society, don’t you? So what are you doing caus
