Back home, Winter didn't even turn on the lights. She sat dazed in the living room, cradling her still-burning cheeks.That wasn't her first kiss. Yet when Ezekiel kissed her, it brought her back to that first one, sending her heart racing even harder.Winter's first kiss had happened at the modest wedding gathering with Joshua.There was no full-ceremony—everything was simple and hurried, and with Philip still in a coma, even on such a joyful day, no one had much spirit to celebrate.That day, Winter wore a custom-made modern Zuranian wedding dress Florence had commissioned from the best tailor in Jeston. Her hair was styled into an elegant updo, and she looked as gorgeous as a bride could be.Florence had also ordered a matching outfit for Joshua, meant to be worn as a pair.But disappointingly, on the day of the wedding gathering, Joshua didn't wear it. He showed up in his usual suit, without the slightest trace of a groom.It took Florence's persistent urging before Joshua f

Winter knew why Nigel tread carefully around Steven, the chairman of Cloudeast Tech. He probably worried about future business dealings with Steven and didn't want to offend the Lynch family.Still, could family ties matter so little when convenience was at stake?Steven had built everything he had on Victoria's suffering—used her, then drove her to madness. And Nigel, Victoria's own brother, had swallowed it all and lived with it."Uncle Nigel, you and I are family. Blood is thicker than water. How could I ever forget you?" Winter's tone was calm."Well said, Winter. I'm glad you still remember me. So, what brings you to call?""Are you at Everlast Tech today? I'd like to come by and see you." Winter smiled faintly, voice soft. "To be honest, I just left Stroud Group. I don't have a job yet. The market's tough… so I was hoping maybe you could help me get a position at Everlast Tech. After all, you're the only family I have left."By all rights, as the daughter of Everlast Tech's

"Gosh! Look at Mr. Stroud!" The female employees' eyes sparkled, and they held back squeals of excitement."Mr. Stroud always brings Ms. Lynch everywhere he goes, even for business. He's clearly doting on her!""Ms. Lynch is now the director of the R&D department at Stroud Group. Of course, Mr. Stroud would bring someone like her to an occasion like this. You don't think she's just a pretty face, do you? Don't be so shallow.""She's beautiful, talented, and from a good family. How could Mr. Stroud not love her? I, for one, am practically in love with her myself!"Winter listened to the chatter, but confusion clouded her mind. Why was Joshua suddenly appearing at Everlast Tech?Everlast Tech wasn't the thriving company it had been when Victoria was alive. Since her death, Nigel had been coasting on old profits. Over the last ten years, the company's savings had dwindled, new products had little market, and the firm had steadily declined.What business could Joshua possibly have wi

Hearing this, Jessica's expression turned utterly grim, and she bit the inside of her lip.Now that she was grown, she strongly disliked anyone dredging up the past. She hated it even more when Winter and Victoria were mentioned in front of her.At that time, she was only a child. She barely understood the world around her. She hadn't given much thought to Steven taking Ruth to pay her respects to Victoria.After all, Victoria was already gone. The mere fact that Ruth had bothered to attend her funeral was already affording Victoria a measure of dignity.Looking back, Ruth had been far too bold at the time, rushing into things without caution.In her eagerness to flaunt her status as Mrs. Lynch, she had shown a lack of tact and unwittingly given people something to gossip about.Luckily, this happened before social media became widespread, and Victoria wasn't a well-known figure. As a result, the incident never escalated into a public scandal.If it occurred today, Jessica and R

Sean was stunned. He knew full well that Joshua was a shrewd, cold-blooded capitalist who never allowed even the smallest loss in business.Still, he had never expected Joshua to be so calculating toward Winter's own family.When would Joshua ever learn to care for her?"In the world of commerce, it's all business. Family ties mean nothing here—not even between husband and wife."Joshua's tone was icy, leaving no room for sentiment."If there were any other buyer out there, Mr. Everhart, you wouldn't have come to Stroud Group, would you?"The only reason I'm here negotiating with you at Everlast is for Winter's sake. These two outdated patents aren't even worth the trouble it took for Ms. Lynch and me to make the trip."From Joshua's words, it was clear that Nigel had reached a dead end. Apart from turning to relatives or using his connection through Winter, he had no other options.Sean sighed, pressing a hand to his forehead. Joshua's gentlemanly image had been completely und
