Zachary looked up slightly, briefly dazed, and he chuckled. "Michael, you must be out of your mind."I know the Chiton family and my family have been competing with one another, but that's between our dads. You should know that Selena is my fiancee. I hope we can leave the women out of our business fights."Michael leisurely raised his gaze, a taunting smile tugging at his lips. "The Xenakis family is nothing to me.""You!" Zachary clenched his fists, then released them. "That's enough. It's Lucy's big day today. I don't want to argue with you."As Zachary spoke, he cast a gentle look over Selena, but he was instantly overwhelmed by a sense of anxiety. Selena's gaze was exceptionally calm. When she looked at him, there wasn't a hint of affection in her eyes.Suppressing his unease deep down, Zachary said, "Selena, I know you're understanding. You'll surely see Lucy off before she gets married. Inside the suitcase are the wedding gifts you've prepared for Lucy, right? Give it to

Zachary had been drunk the whole night. It was already afternoon when he woke up the following day.Before he fully sobered up, he received calls from other friends again. He had been going around different clubs for two weeks straight. For this particular gathering, he would be meeting friends who were in the country.They also knew that Selena had married into the Chiton family.Laughter and the sounds of clinking glasses filled the space while Zachary downed one glass after another.His friend beside him was slightly worried. "Zachary, aren't you going to coax Selena? What if she falls in love with Michael? What should you do then?"Ignoring them, Zachary raised the glass and emptied it. "It won't happen. We've been together so many years. Why would she fall for someone else so easily?"I only want to teach her a lesson this time and ignore her for some time. If not, she'll keep acting up like this."His friend wanted to say something, but he only sighed in the end.After

If it had been in the past, Zachary would've thought after hearing those words that Lucine was an understanding and forgiving person.Zachary raised his head and saw the blue diamond earring on Lucine's ear. Those earrings were unique items sold at the auction, and there was only one pair in the world.He remembered clearly that Lucine had fancied the earrings. After hearing that they would be sold at the auction, she had begged Liam for a long time.But now, Lucine was wearing the earrings. He asked subconsciously, "You love this pair of earrings, right? I remember that you hate blue."Lucine's expression froze, her eyes darting around. "My dad gave them to me. I didn't like them, but I couldn't turn him down.""Is that so?" he asked. Lucine forced a smile and gave a firm nod.Zachary merely sighed without saying a word.His response made Lucine feel more uncertain, and she was overwhelmed by a great sense of anxiety.Lucine had a strong feeling that she would lose Zacha

Once, the son of a tycoon had pursued Selena, spending a fortune just to have dinner with her.Zachary felt deeply threatened, so he secretly installed a tracking application in Selena's phone.Three years had passed, so he gradually forgot about this matter.When he went through all his past moments with Selena, he suddenly noticed the tracking application.Feeling uneasy, he tapped on it and realized that he could see Selena's live location.He was overjoyed at that discovery, thinking that it was his last chance to win her back. And he was sure to seize the opportunity.Initially, he had thought of going alone.But today, Liam and Martha had come to him. He was worried that he would infuriate Selena if he brought them there, or she might notice something.Yet, he still relented when he saw the traces of aging etched on their faces. "I know where Selena is. I'll book the earliest flight with you and bring her back."Martha couldn't help but ask, "If we bring Selena back, wha

Liam's eyes darkened instantly.He wasn't willing to listen to Selena's words, but when he saw Martha's tearful expression, he understood everything.He asked slowly, "Who is that man?"Martha simply continued to cry and didn't say anything for a long while. Seeing this, Liam raised his voice."I'm asking you a question! Who's that man? It's Jonathan Shallock, isn't it?"Even though Martha still said nothing, he had already drawn his conclusions.After 30 years, the dusty memories of the past had long become vague, but the name Jonathan Shallock still surfaced clearly in his mind.At first, Martha's family hadn't agreed to let her marry a poor man with nothing to his name like Jonathan.Liam, who had a secret crush on her, had visited to propose marriage at that time. That was how their marriage came to be.He thought she had already forgotten about Jonathan. Unexpectedly, not only had she not forgotten him after so many years, but she had even had a child with him three years
