Chapter 331

The car slowly drove away…The night sky was as dark as ink. Dexter stood beside a black Range Rover, clad in all black. Born into wealth, everything had always come easy. In his youth, women were nothing more than a pastime.But now, everything had changed. He flicked away the cigarette between his fingers and crushed it with the heel of his leather shoe.When he looked at Eleanor, his gaze darkened. A man like him had never known what it meant to cherish anything, but the moment Maisie appeared in his life, he yearned for a family.He had never begged anyone in his life, but now, he was calmer than ever. He knew this was one of the last chances he had to change her mind.Dexter turned to his side, grabbed a folder from the car, and handed it to Eleanor."This is the signed equity transfer. 10% of Nebula Group, worth tens of billions. This is my personal asset statement. 1.3 billion in cash and over a dozen properties. I'll give them all to you!"This was everything he owned. I

At 10:00 am, a meeting was scheduled at Nebula Group's conference room. However, due to Willow's illness, it had a chance of being canceled at the last minute.A few senior executives had already made plans to head out for tea and a round of golf.Suddenly, Esther walked in and announced, "Mr. Ziegler has arrived."Mr. Ziegler? Who was it? Dexter?After a while, Julian and Dexter both entered the room.Those with tact invited Dexter to take the seat at the head of the table, but Dexter merely pulled the chair and looked at Julian. "You should lead the meeting."What? That didn't seem appropriate.An executive who was itching to play golf grumbled, "I don't think it's appropriate for an assistant to lead a senior management meeting."Julian sat down, his voice clear and refined. "Mr. Sanchez, in a rush for golf?"Jules Sanchez was taken aback at that tone. Then, it hit him like a brick. Julian had returned!Julian just stared at him in silence, offering no explanation. After a

Dexter was devastated. "Are you talking about…""It's a decoy! Sending you to bid was just a smokescreen. We need to reserve our strength during the first round. All we need is to get through the preliminary selection. But I will handle the last bidding document and meeting on my own."Now, I'm just the assistant of Nebula Group's CEO. There's no shame in showing up. Moreover, I'm confident I will get what we want."Dexter, it's not shameful to have lost the upper hand in your love life. But if you walk around looking like a beaten dog, I will give you the rude awakening that you sorely need. "If I ended up ending Uncle Tyler's bloodline, just remember you brought it on him."Julian was the master in his social circle when it came to plotting and scheming. Dexter was quite impressed. Their gazes met, and they high-fived in perfect unison. Their strong bond would carry them through any hardship life threw their way.…Dexter sent the bidding document over in the afternoon. As

Melanie's heart fluttered with joy, but her words suggested otherwise. "Why did you ask him over? I'm seeing him every day already. Give me a break."Willow grinned faintly. "We don't always get to gather."Initially, Melanie was in high spirits, but she quietly thought about Grace, and her heart sank. She didn't dare to let it show in front of Willow, though. She was worried that she might bring the latter down. So, she focused on playing with Landon, Gabriella, and Evelyn. From time to time, she brought up Eleanor.Melanie whispered, "The thought of Maisie getting a stepdad is weighing heavily on Karen's mind. She was so worried that she couldn't eat or sleep, but I told her to relax. Julian and you will help her out with it."Julian came inside and just so happened to catch what she said. He exchanged glances with Willow, and an understanding passed silently between them. Melanie was born to a noble family, and she got married to Liam for business reasons. They started out a

They had been kissing for a long time, but Julian still showed no signs of letting Willow go. His hands were wrapped tightly around her slender waist, and he pressed himself against her tightly.A hug like this was enough to make a lady tremble. For the longest time, Willow couldn't snap out of the trance. It was as if she were ensnared by a hauntingly beautiful dream. When she finally came back to her senses, she held his waist gently and rested her face on his chest. Their warmth blended harmoniously through a thin layer of fabric. It was a unique intimacy that a wife shared with her husband. Willow's tied hair fell, cascading all over him. Julian reached out and clumsily lifted her hair before binding them with an elastic band. Then, he caressed her perky cheeks and spoke fondly."Let's go downstairs."She raised her gaze and stared into his eyes. Their gazes met, and it was brimming with a love that could never have been expressed through words.After this many years, Wil

After Noah was done making arrangements, he turned around and saw that Julian was smoking. Walking over, he took the cigarette away and said, "You've just recovered. It's better to cut back on smoking and drinking."Julian chuckled dryly. "Why didn't you stop me earlier?"Noah responded gently, "Everyone was in high spirits earlier. I didn't want to be a party pooper."Then, he helped Julian to his feet. Julian turned down his offer and picked up a toy Evelyn left on the floor. He leaned against the handrail and climbed the stairs slowly. Noah watched him from behind, chuckling and shaking his head. The night brought a gentle and alluring vibe. Julian went to the nursery and checked on Landon and Gabriella before opening the door to the master bedroom. The light was dim and yellow. Aside from the sweet scent of baby formula, there was a subtle trace of feminine fragrance. It was probably the scent left by the shampoo Willow used during her shower, faint and pleasant.She

A week later, PrimePath Group announced the name list. 12 companies were shortlisted, including Nebula Group and Ascent Group. With one more month to go until the bidding, frequent team meetings were common in Nebula Group, and Julian was as busy as a bee. In two weeks' time, he had pushed his teams beyond their limits. But none of them dared complain about it. He was infamous for being ruthlessly demanding, earning himself the title of "The Burnout Baron." At most, the bolder staff would dare to grumble about it only to Willow.It was 4:00 pm by the time Julian was done with the team meeting and returned to the CEO's office. Willow was leaning on her chair and holding an invitation in her hands with a thoughtful look on her face. Julian sat sideways on the work desk and asked, "Did someone complain about me again?"Willow nodded. "For the past two weeks, at least ten people grumbled about you, accusing you of exploiting staff and offending people holding a higher position th

Eleanor's maid went to the kitchen to prepare the tortellini. Eleanor changed into a pair of indoor slippers and made her way to the nursery. She had just arrived at the door when she heard Maisie's adorable and innocent voice. "Mom says that we're moving to a big place next year. Dad, will you move in with us? My classmates' parents stay in the same place, and so do Gabriella and Landon's parents."Dexter's voice was so soft that Eleanor couldn't make out what he said. She opened the door gently with an affectionate look on her face. "It's 10:00 pm. Why aren't you sleeping, Maisie?"Maisie ran toward her. "I was waiting for you to come home, Mom." She threw herself at Eleanor, her need for her mother clear in her eyes. Dexter stared at Eleanor. She wore a black professional suit with a Hermes scarf, looking businesslike and sophisticated. But her face looked somewhat haggard, clearly a toll from her frequent overtime.They didn't get at each other's throats in front of Mais

It wasn't until after a brief moment that Dexter found his voice again. "Do you have to go through with the engagement?"Eleanor responded, "I do, and you're welcome to join the engagement party!"Looking at her, he gritted his teeth and said, "With bells on. I'll be there on time."An awkward silence draped over them. The tortellini was left on the table, uneaten and cold. There was a time when things were different. On the late nights they used to work together, Eleanor brought Dexter to a restaurant in an alley behind the company. The owner was originally from Yarrowmere, and he mainly sold tortellini.Being an heir to a wealthy family, Dexter had never eaten in a place like this. He exclusively had his meals in a nightclub. That said, they had just gotten together back then, and he found the novelty to be refreshing. So, they shared a serving of tortellini. On that day, she found out that the precious heir hated garlic.Reminiscing about the tender past brought tears to El

"Come here, Evie. Let me give you a smooch!" Liam said. Melanie pondered what he said. In a flash, it felt like she was struck by lightning, leaving her shocked and speechless. She couldn't believe it with the old fart. After some deep deliberation, she found that she could actually trace everything back to the beginning. Victoria had always seemed familiar to her, and it was because she looked like Heather.Another clue was when Willow's actual identity was exposed, and how Liam suddenly treated her with extra love and care. Surely, Heather was a big part of his motivation. Anger immediately filled Melanie's heart. She came from a prestigious family, and she had killer looks. Throughout her entire life, she had only been with Liam. It wasn't until old age that she realized there was a lady who came before her. What was worse, that lady turned out to be Willow's mother. How could she take this?Melanie immediately made a fuss. "Liam Ziegler, you're absolutely shameless!"Lia
