Sienna had a fiery temper and loved being in the spotlight. As the Carter Group president’s sister, she was admired everywhere at school.Vanessa, on the other hand, preferred to keep a low profile. She never flaunted her identity, so most of her classmates assumed she was from an ordinary family.And it was precisely because of that assumption that Sienna targeted her at every turn.Already brimming with anger and with nowhere to vent it, Sienna now faced Vanessa’s blunt attitude, which only infuriated her more. Her chest heaved with rage. “Vanessa, don’t think that just because your grades are better than mine, you’re all that. You were born into a poor family with no background or money.“No matter how good your grades are, in the end you’ll just work for someone else. I’m not like you. After graduation, I’ll work for my family’s company.“Just that alone is something you could never reach in your entire life. No matter what, you’ll always be the one losing.”What she refused to ad

Autumn lowered her head even more. What did he mean, afraid he’d forget? He was the one who had a cold—if anyone’s memory was unreliable, it was his. And now he wanted her to remind him? What kind of logic was that?Keith glanced at his watch. Seeing the time was tight, he quickly locked the door and left.“I have a flight to catch. I’ll head off first.”Downstairs, Jesse was already waiting. When he saw Keith coming out, he hurried to get out of the car and take his luggage.But the boss refused to let go of what he carried. Jesse thought he glimpsed breakfast in his hand—just plain oatmeal.If he hadn’t known the company was thriving, he might have suspected they were about to go bankrupt.The boss, eating something so ordinary, even carrying it into the car—this was unheard of.What’s more, there was a faint smile on his lips, his mood clearly good. The sight alone made Jesse want to laugh.In all the years he’d followed Keith, this was the first time he’d seen him genuinely happ

Luna’s face lit up with satisfaction when she saw Julian still remembered all her favorite dishes.Meanwhile, at the front desk, Autumn turned her head and caught sight of Luna clinging sweetly to Julian’s arm, her smile radiant.She also heard Julian precisely listing off Luna’s favorite foods.At that moment, Autumn finally understood why Julian could never seem to remember her preferences.The truth was, the things he remembered all belonged to Luna. No wonder he kept mixing them up.When it was done with intent versus when it was done carelessly, the difference was crystal clear. What more was there to say?Right now, she felt like all the years she had devoted to him were nothing but a cruel joke.Ethan, having collected what he needed at the front desk, turned and noticed Autumn’s expression wasn’t right. Concerned, he asked, “What’s wrong?”Autumn pulled her gaze back and shook her head. “It’s nothing. Let’s go.”After their meal, Ethan went out to meet someone important. With

He felt he had made himself clear enough and hoped Autumn would figure it out on her own.She was a smart woman, surely she’d catch on quickly.Looking at their hypocritical faces, Autumn’s lips curled in sharper mockery. “How did I never notice before? You really are shameless, dressing up a man’s infidelity like it’s something honorable.“I truly hope that one day, when your girlfriends cheat on you, you’ll be able to show the same understanding you’re preaching now.“After all, you only know how much a boomerang hurts once it comes back and hits you. Don’t you agree?”As their expressions grew darker, Autumn smirked and went on, “And you still talk to me like I’m Julian’s wife. Does Luna know? If she finds out you acknowledge me as Julian’s wife, wouldn’t she be furious?“To avoid unnecessary trouble, you’d better get out now. Otherwise, if Luna shows up, Julian’s dirty secret won’t stay hidden.“And another thing—stop trying to flaunt yourselves in front of me. Julian’s lover now

Julian didn’t insist on going back to his files. Instead, he lowered his head and gently smoothed out Luna’s tousled hair.Seeing her like that, Ryan and Grant both breathed easier, relief settling in their chests.Thank God the hotel walls were soundproof—Luna hadn’t overheard a thing.Watching the couple’s display of affection, they sensed something more was about to happen.Being tactful enough, they rose to their feet, excused themselves, and slipped out of the room.…Autumn slept straight through until half past five. Reaching under her pillow, she groped for her phone.When she saw the time, she was startled. She’d actually slept that long? Her body really was getting weaker.She pushed back the blanket and swung out of bed. Just then, her phone rang. Glancing at the screen, she saw Keith’s name.She swiped to answer, and his low, tired voice came through the line. “What are you doing?”Slipping on the hotel slippers from the cabinet, Autumn’s voice came out husky. “I just woke
