Tyler had no choice but to walk into the abandoned factory.When he opened the heavy door, a musty smell rushed up his nose, making him frown. Turning his head, he saw two men smoking off to the side.The moment they saw him, they stubbed out their cigarettes and smiled deferentially. "You're here, Mr. Grover. Please come with us."They moved to lead him further into the building."Are you sure she's waiting for me here?" Tyler asked coolly."You'll see once you come with us, Mr. Grover," one of them patiently replied.As the two men turned and started heading toward an inner part of the factory, Tyler could only tag along behind them.The building was even more cluttered and dilapidated than he'd imagined. The place was covered with discarded parts, much to his disgust.At the very back of the building was an inconspicuous door.One of the men felt around beside it and seemed to have pressed a hidden button. The door abruptly swung open to reveal a staircase leading downward.

"What is it?" Tyler eagerly asked."Something you can use on the woman you love." Suzanne produced a small bottle from somewhere and handed it to him.Tyler took it before asking in confusion, "Use it on Steph? This is…""It's something good I got from abroad—a colorless, odorless drug." Suzanne looked down at her nails, her tone nonchalant. "As long as she takes it a few times, she'll gradually become cognitively impaired.""What did you say?" Tyler's expression changed instantly. "You want me to use something like this on Steph? Do you think I've lost my mind?"He nearly smashed the glass bottle on the spot, but Suzanne snorted, saying, "Oh, drop the act, Tyler. Stop pretending to be some devoted lover. What you want right now is to bring down Adrian and stop the two of them from being together, right?"If you can pull off what we just discussed, Adrian will have his hands full trying to save himself. And if Stephanie ends up becoming a fool herself, do you think the marriage a

Pierce had wanted to snap at Aleysha, but the moment he saw Aleysha's tears, he couldn't stop his heart from softening.He rubbed his forehead, which was still furrowed, but his tone wasn't as cold as it was earlier. "I don't know what you were thinking, Aley. Did I do something to upset you?"After a pause, he added, "Even if you're upset, it's fine if you take it out on me as you like, but why did you drag Ms. Ford into it?"Suddenly, he remembered the way Aleysha lost her temper at him at the equestrian clubhouse a few days ago.For the past couple of days, they had both avoided mentioning that incident. Pierce kept convincing himself that she'd just been feeling unwell that day, and that he shouldn't be holding it against her, the woman he liked.But after the way she acted today, he couldn't help but think about that incident again.There were times when her behavior felt rather strange."Pierce, I…" Aleysha's eyes were still wet with tears. "I just feel a little hurt."Ta

Only three of these crystal bracelets had been made, and they hadn't even been put up for sale yet. But somehow, Adrian managed to get one for Stephanie."It's so pretty," she marveled.The value of the gift didn't matter much to her. She had all the luxury items she could ever want. What she cared about was the thought he had put into it.Stephanie held out the bracelet to Adrian without saying anything, her eyes sparkling as she looked at him. Getting the hint, he took the bracelet and gently fastened it around her pale, slender wrist.Once it was on, he didn't let go right away. Instead, he bent down and kissed her hand tenderly.Stephanie's heart thumped. She could almost feel the warmth of his lips lingering on her skin. She watched as he lifted his head once more and looked at her with a smile.Time seemed to come to a standstill."It really is pretty," Adrian said. "It suits you very well."Stephanie hummed in response. She ran her other hand over the bracelet, her heart

"What gave you two the nerve to gossip about Mr. Thorn like that? You need to remember one thing—no matter what you see or hear when you work here, you're to keep your mouth shut. Got it?" the manager warned."Yes! We got it!" The two waiters nodded fearfully.Once they left, the manager pulled out his phone and called Samuel's assistant, giving a detailed account of everything he'd secretly witnessed.…Stephanie thoroughly enjoyed the lamb chop she had for dinner. After exiting the restaurant, she was in such a good mood that she didn't want to get back into the car right away. Instead, she took Adrian by the hand and led him on a leisurely stroll along the riverbank across from the restaurant.Suddenly, she got a call. The person on the line expressed immense gratitude for her donation and offered to hold a proper appreciation ceremony for her. He also mentioned that several media outlets wanted to interview her."That won't be necessary," Stephanie said. "I just wanted to do
