Olivia sat on the floor of her room with an open suitcase in front of her. Some clothes had already been neatly folded, while the rest were just thrown in because her mind was unfocused. She took a breath, trying to stay calm, but her chest felt heavy.The bedroom door was knocked on gently. “Liv, can Mommy come in?” Elena’s voice sounded from outside.Olivia glanced briefly before answering. “Just come in, Mom.”Elena entered while carrying a glass of orange juice. Her gaze fell on the open suitcase. “You already started packing?”Olivia nodded slowly. “The flight is tomorrow morning. I have to be ready from now.”Elena sat on the edge of the bed, watching her daughter. “If you want, you can stay a few more days. Mommy still misses you, dear.”Olivia gave a faint smile. “But there are many deadlines, Mom.”Elena also smiled a little, but her eyes weren’t truly happy. “You really want to become a famous architect?”“I want to build a building that has my name on it,” Olivia answered w

CHAPTER 284Ricky had just entered the house when Kelly appeared from the living room. The moment she saw her husband, she folded her arms across her chest.“You just got home?” her voice was cold. “Where have you been this late at night?”Ricky didn’t answer right away. He placed his car keys on the table, then looked at Kelly without any expression. “We need to talk.”His tone was flat but firm. Kelly immediately sensed that something was different.“Talk about what?” Kelly asked suspiciously.Ricky took a deep breath, then pulled a document from his briefcase. He set it on the table. “About this.”Kelly looked at the paper, her eyes widening when she saw the words written at the top—Divorce Petition.“You’re joking, right?” Kelly laughed stiffly, trying to deny the reality.Ricky slowly shook his head. “No. I’m serious.”Kelly stared at him for a long time, then stepped closer. “Serious? You’re really serious about divorcing me after four years of marriage? After everything I’ve do

CHAPTER 286 The air of Paris greeted Olivia with a cool, soothing breeze. As soon as she stepped out of Charles de Gaulle Airport, she took a deep breath and looked up at the bright blue sky. It still felt like a dream to be back in this city — a city full of memories, yet also the place where she was rebuilding her life. After nearly an hour’s taxi ride, Olivia finally arrived at her apartment in a small neighborhood near the University of Des Beaux-Arts. The moment the door opened, a familiar scent welcomed her. The apartment wasn’t big, but it was cozy. “Home sweet home,” she murmured with a small smile. She placed her suitcase near the sofa, then opened the window curtains. Sunlight streamed in, making the room feel more alive. She had only been sitting for a few minutes to rest when she heard a knock on the door. Olivia frowned slightly. “Who could that be? I just got here.” She stood and walked toward the door. When she opened it, her eyes widened. “Arnold?” she excla

JFK Airport was crowded that afternoon, but the atmosphere felt different for Elena. She stood while clutching her small bag, unable to stay still as she waited for the arrival gate to open. Nathan stood beside her with his usual calm demeanor, though he glanced at his wife from time to time, noticing how nervous she looked.“Relax, Honey. Olivia will come out any minute now,” Nathan said, gently patting Elena’s shoulder.Elena let out a long breath. “I know… but I still can’t help feeling anxious. Our daughter hasn’t come home in such a long time. And now she’s coming back as—”“A master in construction design/architecture,” Nathan cut in with a smile. “Sounds impressive, doesn’t it?”Elena smiled, her eyes glistening. “I’m so proud. She truly made her dream come true.”A few seconds later, the automatic doors in front of them slid open. Passengers began to pour out. Elena immediately straightened her posture, her eyes scanning every face eagerly.“Mom!” Olivia’s voice rang out clear

Queen Elisabeth’s boutique was busy that afternoon. Several tailors walked back and forth carrying fabrics, while an assistant was arranging beads on the long table. Olivia stood in front of the large mirror with a bright expression on her face.“Mom… this is so beautiful,” she said, holding the waistline of the white dress that was only half finished.Elena—known to everyone as Queen Elisabeth—smiled with satisfaction. “Of course it’s beautiful. Who do you think Mommy is?”Olivia giggled. “Yes, yes… I fully trust you on that.”Elena stepped closer, adjusting a bit of the dress around the shoulder. “Are you comfortable? Anything too tight?”“No, it’s perfect. I love the design. Simple but elegant.”Elena nodded. “That’s because you don’t like anything complicated. Mommy purposely made it without too many embellishments so you can move freely.”Olivia gave a warm smile. “Thanks, Mom.”Meanwhile, Arnold was driving toward the boutique. On the passenger seat was a small box containing th
