Mary was on tenterhooks and didn't dare meet Jason's gaze. "Mrs. Pereira isn't back yet. I tried calling her, but I was told her number has been unsubscribed."Unsubscribed?Jason frowned deeply, and the atmosphere turned tense. Then, he ran upstairs and burst into the master bedroom. Natalie's familiar figure was nowhere in sight, and the desolate emptiness smothered him.He headed to the walk-in wardrobe to see that none of the clothes were missing. "Thank God," he thought. She was just throwing a tantrum—it was clear she wanted him to coax her with sweet talk.Jason relaxed. Just as he was about to turn away, something hit him. None of Natalie's clothes were missing—the ones that he'd bought for her. The ones that she'd brought with her when she'd married him were nowhere to be found.He ran out of the wardrobe to see that the photo of them, which had originally been on the bedside table, was gone. The jewelry in the jewelry box was intact, though.For some reason, his gaze

Benjamin managed to land more punches when Jason was distracted. He vented his anger through violence. "Natalie's so kind, Jason. How could you bear to treat her like that? How could you be so heartless? You're a bastard and a fucking monster!"To think she loved you with all her heart! Do you know how much she suffered to conceive your child? Bella put her on interventional treatment—she had to inject a needle over three inches long into her belly every other day! Even knowing that the odds were almost zero, she was still willing to endure the pain for you!"The heavens took pity on her and finally allowed her to conceive, but what did you do? You and Sienna killed the baby! You don't deserve Natalie's love, Jason! Scum like you doesn't even deserve to live!"Benjamin shoved Jason aside after venting his anger and frustration. It was as if Jason was nothing more than a pile of trash to him. He snapped, "Someone get over here and throw him out!"A few people came over and dragged J

Rowan stood on the top floor of Grendale's tallest building. The stars twinkled in the night sky above him as he enjoyed a bird's-eye view of the city. He subconsciously stroked the red hair tie around his wrist, and his usually hard face softened.His subordinate, Alan Wickman, stood some distance away. "Mr. Mattel, Ms. Spencer's surgery was a huge success. Per your instructions, I've given the family of the cornea donor a huge sum. I've also planted someone by Jason Pereira's side. There's no way he'll find Ms. Spencer."Rowan pulled his sleeve over the hair tie and turned around. "We leave Grendale tomorrow."Alan was taken aback. He asked, "We don't need to continue verifying his identity anymore?"Rowan shot him a menacing look that was filled with ice. He didn't even need to say a word to make Alan feel daunted. "Do you know how to answer the old man?"Alan shuddered in fright and immediately lowered his head. "Yes, sir."…Since Natalie's departure, Jason had isolated him

"Mom, do you think Wings of Canvas will work with me? What if they turn me down? I can't handle another rejection," Sienna said.For the past half a year, she'd been embroiled in the scandal of being a homewrecker. Everyone knew she'd gotten involved with a married man despite knowing he had a wife. Each time things started dying down, someone would bring it up again. This had led to the destruction of her reputation.Nothing had gone her way back in Dexia, so she'd finally taken Daphne's advice to go abroad and try to make a name for herself there.Daphne said pacifyingly, "When you're here, nothing else matters more than your skill. I've also asked around about Wings of Canvas—it's a renowned art gallery, and it only works with masters. "As long as you can sell your art here, the rumors in Dexia will automatically go away. You have to make the owner of this gallery agree to exhibit your paintings here, Sienna."Sienna nodded. She looked at the art on display and suddenly had a

Natalie held out her hand to show Frank. "She really is quite thick-skinned. Look. My palm is red now."Frank scrutinized it, looking so serious that it was almost as if this was a big deal. "Damn it! Mr. Rockwell's going to wallop me if he finds out about this. God knows how valuable your hands are!"Sienna's jaw dropped as she stared at Natalie in shock. Then, her gaze turned jealous. Frank had addressed Natalie so affectionately, and he'd mentioned Mossey. Didn't this mean Natalie was the last apprentice Mossey had taken on three months ago?So, this was her. She was the one standing in Sienna's path to success. Who the hell was she?Currently, all everyone in the art world knew was that Mossey had taken on a talented apprentice whom he doted on. However, she was a mysterious woman who'd yet to make any public appearances. No one had managed to find out anything about her.Sienna snorted. "So, you're the bitch who told Mossey to humiliate me three months ago."Natalie's gaze t
