361 Stay By My Side

"Why didn’t you go to the study?" Adela asked, drying her hair with a towel as she glanced curiously at the man beside her.He took the hairdryer from her and gently helped dry her hair.In a husky, low voice, he murmured, "I was waiting for you."Adela understood. He meant he was waiting for her to finish showering so she could accompany him to the study while he worked. She nodded, her voice soft and sweet, “They took my phone earlier, and you had to call me so many times. You must’ve been terrified.”The dark gleam in Layson's eyes was so intense it made her heart skip—but it flashed and vanished in an instant. He replied gently, "I was more afraid you'd been scared."Adela paused, then smiled. “Actually… I was okay.”She had been nervous at first, even frightened. But as things unfolded, she calmed herself—something even she hadn’t expected. Maybe it was the constant stress lately: the drugging incident with Marah, the car accident, the provocations from Susan and Bard… Her nerves

362 Needs Your Review

Marah flinched like she'd been startled when Richard called her out. She shook her head in a panic, “I’m fine, really. No need to see a doctor.”Her voice trembled so obviously that even Adela, who was casually reading the news, looked up and gave her a quick glance. Her complexion was so pale, it was like she’d seen a ghost.Richard asked a few more questions out of concern, but seeing her persistently shake her head, he didn’t press further.Adela, curious, had a vague feeling something had happened. Still leaning on her arm, she glanced back at Layson’s phone screen and gave up on figuring it out.Richard, on the other hand, looked over at the pair and didn’t frown anymore. He had to admit, Adela had a positive influence — ever since she moved into the Norman household, Layson had been coming home for dinner far more regularly. Just in the past month alone, it had already surpassed the total number of times he’d shown up over the last fifteen years.Hearing the sound of chopsticks

363 I Can’t Accept It

As soon as Adela spoke, the lawyer raised his brows slightly, a little surprised. “Adela, Boss Jones didn’t elaborate. I just received this file myself. As for what’s inside, you’ll have to look through it to find out.”That meant she had to open it.Adela untied the white string on the file and saw three identical copies of a contract. She froze, pulled one out, and flipped through the first page. A quick scan was enough — this wasn’t just shocking. It was absurd.Boss Jones was gifting New York’s largest shopping mall… to Ralph.Adela’s mind was filled with mental exclamation marks. Her immediate reaction was, “I can’t accept this gift!”She closed the contract, her expression sincere and resolute. “Ralph is too young. This gift is too extravagant. Besides, he doesn’t need it.”The lawyer quickly scanned the contract and then paused. “Adela, please don’t be so quick to refuse. Boss Jones, as a man of his generation, is offering a gift to your son. You can’t just deny the child’s rig

364 She’s a Woman of Integrity

Adela frowned, her lips tightly pressed together, anger simmering beneath the surface. “Then do you know if Boss Jones is in the company? I want to meet him.”To her surprise, Robbie didn’t stop her this time. He stood and leaned lazily against his desk, picked up the phone, and dialed the internal line. “Did Boss Jones come in today?”A few seconds later, he hung up and shrugged, his tone helpless. “He’s not here. He went abroad.”Adela: “…”Could he be any more obvious? Was this not just blatantly avoiding her?Robbie calmly brewed some tea as he spoke. “If you insist on talking to Boss Jones, you’ll have to wait until he returns. I can give you his number, but I doubt you’d call him.”Adela thought for a moment, then stood to leave. “Then I’ll wait for his return. I’ll visit again then. Since he’s not around, I’ll head back.”Just as she turned to leave, Robbie’s voice called out lazily, “Young lady, don’t forget your contract.”Adela paused. “I’m not taking it. I’ll wait until Bos

365 Social Circle

When Daisy asked that question, it was because she had been conflicted for a long time. She wasn't trying to be a saint—she could barely feed herself. If there was a chance to gain something, she wouldn’t hesitate.Faced with a choice between pride and hunger, she chose survival.Once you’ve starved, you never forget how unbearable it feels.Lily gave her a look Daisy couldn’t decipher, but she was patient. She would do whatever Lily said—if it was okay to tell Adela, she would. If not, she'd just leave it behind.“Have you met her boyfriend?” Lily didn’t answer directly. Instead, she asked this seemingly random question.Daisy shook her head. “I only go to Starry Jewelry during lunch to sell flowers. Once it hits the hour, I leave.”Lily nodded knowingly and then said, “Her boyfriend is powerful—far more powerful than you could imagine.”Daisy blinked, confused. Why bring up her boyfriend all of a sudden?Then Lily continued, “You said the last group who came in that day were strange

366 All Belongs to Me

Adela looked up and met the deep, unreadable gaze of Layson. His hand, following the motion of her rising, slid naturally to the nape of her neck.A faint smile tugged at his lips. “Lunch together, hmm?”Though phrased as a question, his tone left no room for refusal.Adela nodded. If Layson had come all the way to get her, he must have already arranged things with Diana—nothing she needed to worry about.Since his arrival, not a single soul in the café had spoken. As Adela stood, all eyes around them burned like needles against her skin. She cast a glance at Kate, feeling a little sheepish.Before she could say anything, Layson turned to Helen and instructed calmly, “Take Ms. Kate home.”Kate waved her hands nervously, “No, no need. You two go ahead. I’ll just settle the bill—it’s my treat today.”Barnes approached, having just paid. He lowered his voice. “Mr. Norman, the car is ready.”Adela gave Kate an apologetic look. “Next time, I’ll treat you. I’ve got to run today.”Without an

367 He Drank a Bit Too Much

Adela instantly understood the meaning of this dinner—Mr. Garcia was here to play the peacemaker once again.She glanced at him with complicated emotions but said nothing. Instead, she nodded slightly and smiled. After all, Mr. Garcia was an elder, and respect had to be given.Once the three were seated, Mr. Garcia, as always, ordered juice for Adela and shared red wine with Layson.But tonight, Mr. Garcia drank unusually heavily—and fast.Watching this, Adela felt a creeping unease. She glanced at Layson, whose expression remained calm. For every two glasses Mr. Garcia drank, he only sipped one, yet she had a hunch: tonight, he might actually get drunk.Sighing deeply, she chose not to say anything. She just quietly ate the food Layson put on her plate. On this table, she was probably the only one who came truly for the meal.Once she was about 80% full, Mr. Garcia smiled at her and said, “Niece-in-law, no need to worry about these troubling matters. Boss Jones is abroad and won’t be

368 Showing Off His Cooking Skills

As soon as they entered the elevator, Layson wrapped an arm tightly around Adela, refusing to let go. With nearly a head of height difference between them, his posture looked uncomfortable, and Adela, worried he might bump into something, kept a firm grip on his arm, practically nestled into his embrace.Layson had his eyes closed, face lowered—no one could clearly see his features. Adela silently sighed in relief for him. If anyone did recognize him, tomorrow’s financial tabloids would probably explode with headlines about the CEO drunken in public.Barnes and the others had taken the lead, pressing for the top floor. Once they got Layson into the suite, Barnes stepped out to call an assistant to bring fresh clothes.Ten minutes later, the doorbell rang. Barnes returned with two large bags. Adela checked them—they were quite complete.She closed the door and returned to the bedroom, only to find the bed empty. Her heart skipped a beat. First instinct: check the balcony. No one.Then,

369 The Drama Project

At Starry Jewelry, Adela had just received a call from the director, asking her to come to his office at 10 a.m. for an important assignment.Carlton had long collaborated deeply with luxury brands overseas. His reason for joining Starry was entirely out of respect for Layson. His international fame far exceeded his reputation in NY—much like Adela’s—and precisely because of that, he had always shown her extra consideration.Though Adela’s experience was relatively shallow, Carlton firmly believed design was an industry driven by talent—and Adela had that in spades. Sometimes he’d even feel a twinge of regret. If she'd come from a privileged background and been exposed to jewelry early on, she might already be internationally renowned at her age.Carlton arrived at the office at 9:30. As he rounded a corner in the hallway, he overheard two voices chatting on the stairs.“Hey, do you think that rumor’s true? That Adela might be the next design director?”“No idea. Everyone’s saying it,

370 Absent

Adela sipped her drink while casting a mildly probing look at Cici.“I saw the news too,” Cici replied breezily. “I mean, fans can say whatever they want, but real or not, if it is true, fans can only give their blessings…”Cici said it with a light heart—and she meant it. Could fans truly control their idols’ lives?Any rational fan knew the answer: absolutely not.Since it was impossible, why bother stressing over it? That was just self-inflicted misery.After lunch, the two strolled while chatting. Adela bought a bouquet from a little flower seller and returned to the office, already having a few people in mind to join the drama project.That afternoon, she delivered her team list to Carlton. He glanced through it casually.“I’ll take care of the arrangements. You should call the production coordinator ASAP—the sooner we sync, the better.”The production team was indeed in a rush.“Designer Adela, would you be available tomorrow morning to meet the lead actresses? Most of the jewel
