When Winter noticed that Reginald had vanished once more, she didn't seem worried. Instead, she slipped into a seat at the back with Michelle, the little foodie, eating as though they had all the time in the world. In any case, she chose to fill her stomach before letting anything else concern her.Throughout the evening, a handful of industry CEOs and tech leaders dropped by to chat with Winter or raise a glass in her honor. With her ethereal beauty, she was hard for any man to resist.Winter wasn't a lightweight. She had plenty of nights out eating and drinking with Sasha. Whenever she felt down, she wouldn't think twice about drinking herself into a stupor.When the executives raised their glasses to her, she didn't act reserved or refuse out of false modesty. Still, she drank sparingly. Each time someone raised a toast to her, she took only a modest sip.That way, she wouldn't come across as aloof or disrupt the mood. At the same time, she avoided appearing overly eager, mainta

"Ha! Jerky Joshy, calling you a piece of crap would actually be putting it lightly!" Winter thought.She was so furious she felt as if she could grind her teeth to pieces. Overcome with frustration, she snatched a glass of champagne from the table and drained it in one gulp."Ms. Everhart…" Michelle murmured, her eyes full of concern.Reginald arched an eyebrow. Deep down, he was delighted.From the looks of it, Winter's marriage to Joshua was on the brink of collapse. Not only had he refused to help Everlast Tech, but he couldn't leave Jessica's side for a single moment. His marriage to Winter had clearly been a facade for some time.Joshua's tantrum at Reginald was like a possessive dog gone wild. Even a bone he'd long since chewed and discarded was off-limits to anyone else.With the friction between Winter and Joshua at its peak, it was the perfect moment for Reginald to make his move.Not only was Winter struggling in her marriage, but she was also having a difficult time a

"Mr. Fulton, I've already checked. Ms. Everhart and Reginald are both in the banquet hall, but Joshua and his mistress aren't here tonight."George couldn't mask the concern on his face. "Are you going to head over and find a way to take Ms. Everhart away?""Take her away? And under what excuse?" A chill ran across Ezekiel's striking features. "Just because Winter exchanged a few extra words with my older brother?""But—""Winter once approached me for investment, but I turned her down. At this point, I have no reason to meet with her."Ezekiel's eyes were dark and unfathomable. "If I go there now, all I'd do is make her think I'm being unreasonable and meddlesome. What good would it accomplish?"George felt as if a light bulb had gone off. He instantly understood Ezekiel's worries.Still, he couldn't hold back from asking, "Mr. Fulton… would Reginald actually dare to make a move against Ms. Everhart? She is—""He has no idea."Ezekiel halted mid-step. In the bright moonlight,

Reginald squinted, his gaze dark and unreadable.Again and again, he felt the urge to kiss Winter, but he restrained himself. The night was still young; there was no reason to act hastily."I don't want to go anywhere… I just want to head home," Winter murmured. A film of warm sweat covered her back. Her eyes grew distant, and tears glimmered at the corners, betraying her distress.Her thoughts were jumbled, and she lacked the energy to think clearly."Don't be afraid. I'm here. No one will lay a hand on you."Except me.Reginald chuckled softly by her ear. Supporting Winter's limp body, he led her out of the banquet hall through the back door.He made no effort to be discreet. When a few onlookers spotted them, they started exchanging whispers."Look at that! They've barely known each other, and already they're leaving arm in arm.""It's obvious they're going upstairs to get a room. They're both single and in the prime of their lives. With passions running high, wouldn't they

Without a shred of shame, Winter boldly demanded a kiss from Ezekiel. Like a hypnotic siren beneath a starry sea, she pulled him into her irresistible depths."Winter… what are you doing?" Panic surged through Ezekiel as he swiftly covered her lips.Winter sobbed, her cries broken and trembling.Ezekiel stared into her lust-tinged, glistening eyes. This wasn't mere seduction; she wanted every fiber of his being.Ezekiel's Adam's apple moved up and down, his breaths deep and ragged. His knuckled hands slipped into the water. Cradling Winter's waist, he gradually pulled her up."Winter, stop tempting me. I may be exercising self-control, but I'm still only human."Clenching his teeth, Ezekiel's fingers sank into the soft flesh of her waist, leaving it bright red. A wave of suffocating emotions burned in his piercing gaze.Winter's eyes were unfocused, seeing nothing but a rough silhouette. The man standing before her was both striking and strangely familiar.Though her vision was
