"Real action, huh? Fine. I’ll show you exactly what I’m capable of."Joseph took a deep breath, his gaze sweeping across the crowd that still hadn’t dispersed. The sight only made his anger surge."What are you all staring at? Don’t you have your own business to deal with? Why are you all still hanging around here. Don’t you have anything better to do?"But his attitude finally set off the extras he’d hired.One by one, they stepped up and confronted him. "Boss, you haven’t paid us yet." "Yeah, you promised a set rate—none of us have been paid." "You’re not seriously trying to stiff us, are you?"That last line made Joseph snap."Why the hell would I do that? Don’t talk nonsense!"But now, the people around them—extras and onlookers alike—turned suspicious eyes on him.Some of them had actually felt bad for him earlier, thinking he’d been humiliated unfairly.Now they realized everything had a reason.This man wasn’t someone to be pitied. He’d orchestrated the whole thing.That t

She hadn't expected that being a manager in the company meant this for Joseph. All he needed to do was sit in his office, and people would bring proposals and documents to his desk. His job was just to review and sign off.Watching this scene, Judy raised an eyebrow. So, this was all there was to Joseph?Sometimes, she even questioned her own taste and judgment. Was this really the man she had chosen? Aside from his status, what else did he have?Noticing Judy standing at the door with a thermal container in hand, Joseph quickly straightened up and called out seriously, "Judy, since you're already here, why are you standing outside?"You can just come in directly next time. My door is always open for you."After hearing that, the others in the office tactfully stepped away.Judy smiled faintly and said nothing."You seemed a little tense yesterday, so I made your favorite chicken soup to help you recharge."Joseph took the thermal container, the smile on his face growing wider.

After Joseph finished speaking, Judy fell silent. She didn’t say another word.He sure made it sound nice now, but wasn’t he the one who lost his temper in the office just moments ago?It really was true—out in the world, status was whatever one claimed for themselves.“Since I have already give you the soup, I’ll head back now,” she said, bidding Joseph goodbye.He paused for a moment, but didn’t try to stop her or say anything else.Joseph had taken an interest in Seafront Construction. After asking around, he quickly learned about Wendy.“Wendy Shaws?”His assistant gave him a full rundown of everything he’d managed to dig up over the past few days.“Yes. Word is, she appears to get along well with Aurora Walton on the surface, but when she first joined the company, the first thing she asked about was any projects that involved the Waltons—she wanted to be in charge of those.“Plus, a lot of projects she’s now handling were originally poached from Walton Corporation. That company

"You… how could you?"Aurora let out a soft laugh. "Alright, work is still more important. Don’t overthink it."Lucy thought about it for a moment and realized it made sense.While they were speaking, someone knocked on the office door.Both Aurora and Lucy turned toward the sound.The person at the door looked at Aurora and said, "Miss Aurora, the Chairwoman wants to see you."Aurora’s gaze darkened slightly. "Alright, I understand. I’ll head over now."Lucy guessed, "Is it about what happened this morning?"Aurora gave a quiet "Mm." "It could be, but I’m not sure yet. Better to go and find out.""Then you go ahead, Aurora. I’ll get back to work too."After they went their separate ways, Aurora headed straight to the chairwoman’s office.She knocked on the door, and it took a while before a voice responded from inside.When Aurora walked in, Grace was hunched over her desk, writing something, fully focused on her work.It was as if she hadn’t even seen Aurora come in, continuing with

Aurora took a deep breath. It was clear now that Joseph was starting to interfere with her work. She couldn’t let this continue. Next time, she had to hit harder.Sending him to prison last time clearly hadn’t taught him enough of a lesson. He never seemed to learn.Fiddling with the bracelet on her wrist, Aurora narrowed her eyes and began to plan her next move.…“Joseph Hunt?”Wendy was momentarily confused when she heard the name. It didn’t ring any bells.Her assistant explained, “Yes, he’s the heir to Hunt Enterprises. He insisted on meeting with you in person. He said he has something you’d definitely be interested in.”That caught Wendy’s attention.She stood up and looked at her assistant. “Did he really say that?”“Yes. He said it with full confidence. He’s in the reception room right now, waiting for you.”Wendy’s lips curved into a slight smirk. “Well, I’d like to see what this man is all about, daring to claim he has something I’d want.”With that, she walked toward t

He followed suit and reached out, their hands meeting in a brief, cordial shake. Just like that, the deal was sealed.For reasons she couldn’t quite explain, Wendy felt a strange sense of calm settle over her the moment their hands touched. The unease that had been gnawing at her earlier suddenly faded.Joseph offered a reassuring smile. “Don’t worry, Miss Shaws. I won’t let you down. After all, we share the same enemy.”Wendy pulled her hand back, her expression polite but distant. “In that case, show me you’re serious. What exactly do you have in mind?”Joseph didn’t seem fazed by her cool demeanor. His smile didn’t waver in the slightest.“Your company and Walton Corporation are direct competitors. That gives your side more credibility when speaking out.”Wendy raised an eyebrow. “Go on.”“It’s simple. Walton’s biggest weakness is its reputation. So, we pressure them from the outside, then strike from within. Once we hit both fronts... the rest will fall into place.”There was a

"You okay?"A gentle, concerned voice sounded above her.Aurora rubbed her forehead and looked up to see Lucas asking the question with a blank expression."I’m fine."Facing that familiar face, she couldn’t bring herself to say anything more. After replying, she stepped aside and continued walking into the house.Lucas reached out and caught her wrist, a flicker of hurt passing through his eyes. "Aurora, can we talk?"The two of them stood there in silence, caught in a quiet standoff—neither willing to break the fragile balance between them.But deep down, Aurora knew. Things between them hadn’t been the same for a long time.Ever since Wendy came into the picture, there was no going back."Lucas, this is my own issue. You don’t need to overthink it."Aurora forced a smile. "Besides, we got married on impulse, didn’t we? It was all for our parents. Why bother caring so much? Does love even matter?"Lucas studied her face, trying to spot any hint of a lie.But she masked it too well.

The word “flash marriage” from the day before lingered in Wendy’s mind like an itch she couldn’t scratch.All she wanted now was for the two of them to get divorced as soon as possible.If that happened, she could finally convince her brother to let her and Lucas stay in Ravenshore for good.“Don’t worry about the rest. All I care about now is dealing with our mutual enemy.”Joseph held back whatever he was about to say. He could see it clearly that his partner was just as desperate to take Aurora down."Alright, message received." He pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and blew a perfectly shaped smoke ring toward her. "Next, just contact a few media outlets and make the story stick."Watching him exhale with that practiced ease, Wendy scowled. "Don’t smoke in front of me. And you’re saying that’s all it takes to make this happen?"Joseph gave a low chuckle. Despite her warning, he took his time finishing the cigarette. "That’s right. From here on, we sit back and let it play out. I b

The assistant was genuinely impressed watching Aurora spring into action with such swift, clear-headed responses.She was newly promoted and didn’t know Aurora well. When she first saw the news, she’d thought the sky was falling.But now, seeing how Aurora handled it—sharp, composed, and efficient—brought a sense of unexpected reassurance.Still, just as the two of them began to catch their breath, the situation escalated again—faster than anyone could have predicted.Not long after, the assistant returned in a rush, unable to keep the situation under control."Bad news, Miss Aurora!""It’s not just the supplier I mentioned earlier—more and more manufacturers are pulling out one after another. If this keeps up, we’ll have to shut down every ongoing project."Aurora’s hand froze, pen hovering in midair. Only then did the full weight of the crisis hit her.Things were unraveling too fast—unnaturally fast. It felt as if someone powerful was orchestrating everything from the shadows.Sti

But this was clearly a calculated, targeted attack.One that had been planned in advance. She just didn’t know how her mother would respond to it.When Aurora arrived at the office, she was surprised to find Tessa standing beside Grace.Grace sat at her desk, rubbing her temples, her expression tired and frustrated as she stared at the mess in front of her.Tessa, ever the considerate one, was gently massaging her shoulders, murmuring soft words of comfort now and then.Aurora curled her fingers into a fist, a faint, bitter smile tugging at the corners of her flawless face.What a picture—mother and daughter, tender and devoted. If this was the scene she’d been summoned to witness, she felt it was unnecessary. She’d seen enough of it before. She knew it by heart.She stood outside the office window for a long while, silently bracing herself before finally lifting her hand to knock.A few moments later, a voice called out from inside."Come in."Her heart sank. She had no idea what h
