Timothy's tone was cool as he said, "Daphne is still too young. I'm not comfortable with her being abroad by herself.""I'll take good care of her," Yasmin said quickly. "I'll stay with her every step of the way. Do you still not trust me?""You have a career," Timothy cut in. His voice was even, but brooked no argument. "You can't let your entire day revolve around Daphne at the expense of your work."Yasmin immediately switched to playing the victim, her voice trembling. "My career has already stalled. The new production crew is deliberately making things difficult for me. I've been covered in bruises these past few days just from learning figure skating. If that's the case, I might as well clear my schedule and stay with Daphne."As she spoke, she deliberately showed the bruises on her arms and legs.Timothy's gaze paused briefly on the bruises. He didn't bother to verify whether they were real. "I'll handle the investment for your new project. Next week, I'll take you to mee

The phone kept vibrating. While Mom was still crying and distracted, I quietly slipped the phone into my bag and didn't answer.The way Isaac had frowned at us earlier was still vivid in my mind.He hadn't said anything harsh, but the hint of disdain in his eyes told me clearly that I had no right, and no place, to accept his help again.After all, the gap between us was vast. Even if he helped me, it would only ever be one-sided. What could I possibly give in return?With that thought, I ignored the vibrating phone and left the call unanswered.I figured Isaac was only calling out of courtesy or respect for my grandparents. When I didn't pick up the first time, he didn't call again.Once the phone went silent, the only sound left in the car was Mom's muffled sobbing. It was heavy and suffocating.I sighed softly, my voice weary. "Mom, I'll take you home first. As for Jonathan, I'll think of something."As I said this, I remembered her earlier words and said carefully, "I've ne

As Isaac spoke, he called for the housekeeper. "Move Josie's suitcase to the master bedroom and have everything unpacked."The housekeeper answered and was about to move when I quickly said, "Wait."Glancing at Timothy, I asked, "Do you really want to start over with me?"He smiled. "Isn't my sincerity obvious enough? You know how much trouble this caused. Withdrawing Jonathan's charges created a major mess with the board. Do you know how much pressure I was under?"I wasn't fooled by his words and continued cautiously, "If you really want to start over, can you give me some time? I need time to process everything that happened in the past. Right now, I… can't move back into the master bedroom, so can I stay in the old guest room for now?"Timothy and Yasmin had already sullied the master bedroom. I would be too disgusted to stay there.Timothy's gaze lingered on my face for a moment, as though he had just realized something. For once, he took the initiative to explain. "Josie, n

Clarissa paused when she saw my expression. "Ms. York, is there a problem?""Well…" I began awkwardly. "I've heard that Mr. Shore rarely accepts interviews."She nodded. "That's exactly why we want you to try. Christine already went once and was turned away. I figured that you'd be capable of this task since you've written many trending pieces before."I was already thinking about how to decline. Even switching assignments would've been fine, but Clarissa continued, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. If you get the interview, great. If not, that's fine too. No other magazine has managed it either."At that point, refusing again would've made me seem difficult and unprofessional."Alright," I agreed, albeit reluctantly.After we left the office, Christine said quietly, "Mr. Shore's a tough one. If you really can't get anywhere with him, don't force it. Ms. Wagner was just taking a chance. She wasn't expecting success.""I know."I nodded. I'd have to meet Isaac eventually

At that, Micah waved a hand irritably. He said, "Forget it. Let's keep looking. I just hope we can find her soon. I don't want to keep flying into a city I barely know every few days."As I listened to their conversation, I didn't catch all the details, so I remained silent.After a moment, Micah suddenly smiled and said to Isaac, "By the way, let me ask you something. That diamond ring you ordered from me, does it have to be that particular one?"Isaac looked up. "Is there a problem?""Timothy contacted me this morning," Micah said. "I don't really have dealings with him, so it caught me off guard. He knows that I've got a top-grade South Alendor diamond ring and offered a high price for it. He said it's for his wife."Hearing Timothy's name startled me. The cup in my hand shook, and I almost spilled its contents.Isaac's gaze flicked toward me briefly, causing my body to tense up. Everything ugly between Timothy and me was something he already knew.There was no need for me to
