"Sorry we're late."Travis stood at the door with several executives. He was surprised to see Rosalyn packing up."The meeting's about to start, Ms. Jones. What are you doing?""You're just in time, Mr. Lowe. I've finished the core parts, and my team will handle the rest. Something urgent came up at home, so I need to head back first." Rosalyn's tone was professional, polite, and distant.She then stood and gestured for her team to hand the organized files to Travis. Travis took the files but didn't look at them. He stared at Rosalyn for several seconds before finally asking, "That sudden?""Yeah, it all happened pretty fast. I don't have a choice," Rosalyn said with a polite smile and turned to her team. "Go through the plan with Mr. Lowe in detail. Contact me if there's any issue."Travis opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but he knew he had no reason to stop her. In the end, he just nodded."Have a safe trip then, Ms. Jones."His gaze lingered on Rosalyn's

Everyone could tell that Mandy was deliberately trying to provoke Wendy.The Cox family's downfall proved it true. When the powerful fell, even the weak dared to bully them. But this was reality—this was human nature.Wendy sat perfectly straight without any expression, but Rosalyn noticed her fingers digging into her palm."Ten million, going once!" the auctioneer called, lifting the gavel.Mandy turned back smugly, wanting to enjoy Wendy's painful expression."Ten million, going twice!"Just as the gavel was about to fall—"Fourteen million."A cold female voice was heard from the back of the hall, and the entire room erupted in shock.Mandy spun around, her expression turning ugly in an instant. Wendy was taken aback too, and she instinctively looked toward the voice.Rosalyn lowered her paddle calmly, linked arms with Eric, and made her way gracefully through the crowd toward Wendy."F-fourteen million, going once!" the auctioneer stammered.Mandy, who was certain she

On the way to Cox Mansion, Wendy stared out the window with a weary expression.Rosalyn noticed something was wrong and asked softly, "What's going on, Wendy? Are your parents okay?"Wendy bit her lip and finally spoke after some hesitation. "My mom got so stressed out over the company that she passed out. She's still in the hospital."Rosalyn's heart tightened, and she immediately turned to the driver. "Take us to Cromwell Hospital."Wendy shook her head quickly. "You can just drop me off there. You don't have to visit her right now. My family's situation—"Rosalyn deliberately put on an upset expression. "What, do you think I can't help? Or are you looking down on your godsister?"Wendy was stunned before she laughed softly. "Hey, you know I don't mean it that way.""Alright, let's stop wasting time then." Rosalyn held her hand gently. "Since I've decided to be their goddaughter, that makes us family. Your parents are my parents now. How could a daughter not care about her par

Eric looked at Rosalyn's face from the side. His gaze grew gentler by the second.He knew Rosalyn had grown up with Julia and that she lacked affection from her parents. Seeing the two families getting along like this had to stir something deep inside her.He gave her palm a light squeeze and said softly, "Things will get better."Rosalyn nodded. Warmth spread through her chest. Everything she had missed growing up, she had slowly made up for with the Hammond family.Just as the moment settled into something heart-warming, Wendy's phone rang.She glanced at the caller ID, and her face drained of color. Without a word, she hurried out into the hallway to answer it.Rosalyn immediately sensed something was wrong and followed her out. "What happened?"After hanging up, Wendy looked tense. "The bank just called. They're holding a creditors' meeting tomorrow and insisting my dad attend.""Why so sudden?" Rosalyn frowned, equally surprised."Yeah. And they made it very clear that if

The next day, in the lobby of the Zahn Group headquarters, Wendy sat alone on a sofa in the lounge area, looking exhausted and holding a cup of coffee that had long since gone cold.She had deliberately chosen a simple, understated dress that day. Her makeup was light, and she had even shaded beneath her eyes on purpose to make herself look worn out and drained.Right now, she was a fallen heiress, and she needed to look the part.People moved constantly through the lobby, and quite a few Zahn Group employees recognized her as the eldest daughter of the Cox family.What had happened to the Cox family was no longer a secret. Pitying glances mixed with barely concealed delight drifted her way.Wendy seemed oblivious to it all as she kept her head lowered while her fingers absently traced the rim of her coffee cup."Ms. Cox?" A gentle male voice was heard beside her.Wendy looked up to see Tim standing in front of her with a polite smile on his face.She quickly adjusted her expre
