Edgar stormed into the VIP lounge with a scowl, kicking the door open with a loud bang. This high-end private hospital was part of the Blackwood Group's medical ventures. The staff quickly retreated, not daring to provoke him at this moment."Get out! All of you, get out!" Edgar roared. The manager signaled to the security and staff, and soon the hallway was empty.Edgar strode into the lounge, yanking at his tie, feeling a burning rage ready to explode from his chest."You think you're worthy?""What does a bastard like you have to compete with me?""You can barely keep up with my footsteps..."Ethan's voice echoed in his ears. That disdainful look, the contemptuous expression, haunted his mind."Fuck!" Edgar grabbed the ashtray from the coffee table and hurled it at the glass display cabinet. With a crash, the glass shattered into pieces.At eight years old, he first stepped into The Easton family estate, joyfully attending his grandmother's birthday banquet. Ethan stood on the spir

Julie stood up, crossing her arms over her chest. "This is my rented place. Why can't I come back?"Kayla remained defiant. "So what if you rented it? Since you moved out, don't think about coming back."Julie sneered. "I can move out, sure, but you need to refund my rent first.""I paid the rent for the past six months, and there's still three months left on the lease, which is $9,000.""And your son owes half of the previous rent, which is $4,500.""As for utilities and other miscellaneous expenses, I can't be bothered to calculate those.""Just give me back the $13,500."Trinity chimed in from the side, "Julie, don't forget about the deposit.""Right, almost forgot. Since I'm not living here anymore, there's no reason to hold my deposit.""So that $10,000 deposit needs to be returned to me in advance, making it a total of $23,500."She pulled out her phone and opened the payment app. "Are you planning to pay in cash or transfer?"Kayla laughed as if she'd heard a joke. "Rent? This

Alyssa woke up naturally, lounging in bed for a while before finally getting up. Her long, wine-red curls were a tousled mess. She stretched lazily, the strap of her camisole slipping off her smooth shoulder, revealing a hint of skin marked by a few suggestive red marks. Last night, she and William had been up until the early hours. Youth really is something else, full of energy and quick to learn.Ruffling her hair, Alyssa walked barefoot out of the bedroom in her camisole nightgown. As soon as she stepped out, she heard the clinking of a spatula and the faint aroma of frying eggs."Smells amazing," she murmured, following the scent to the kitchen. There, she found William wearing her pink apron, frying eggs."Alyssa, you're up," William said, turning with a bright smile that showed off his perfect teeth. "Why don't you sit in the dining room? Breakfast will be ready soon."Alyssa leaned lazily against the doorframe, taking in his youthful, handsome face. A pang of guilt hit her, she

Sophia emerged from the luxury boutique, accompanied by a female assistant carrying her shopping bags."Mrs. Blackwood!"A hurried shout echoed from a distance.Sophia paused, catching a glimpse of an unfamiliar woman briskly approaching her. She turned slowly, her face displaying the appropriate mix of confusion and caution one should have when facing a stranger."Are you calling me?"Julie stopped in front of her, adopting a harmless demeanor and giving a slight bow. "Mrs. Blackwood, do you remember me?""And you are?" Sophia didn't recall her.Julie smiled politely. "Hello, I'm Julie from the art gallery staff.""Over a month ago, I almost bumped into you while rushing to assist in another exhibit area.""Oh, it's you." Sophia finally had some recollection. "Is there something you need?""Ma'am, I'm here to return this to you." She held up a pink paper bag in front of Sophia."What is this?" Sophia didn't take it."It's the scarf you left at the gallery that day. I've been trying t

The opulent ballroom was hosting a grand charity auction dinner. The event was spearheaded by the elite Mayer Family, drawing in a crowd of renowned entrepreneurs, wealthy magnates, socialites, and philanthropists. Amidst the elegant symphony, well-dressed guests mingled in small groups, exchanging pleasantries.Sophia walked arm-in-arm with Ethan through the crowd. It was her first time attending an event as Ethan's companion. She wore a high-fashion gown from the current season, its tailored design accentuating her graceful figure. Around her neck was a pink diamond necklace worth millions. Her pearl earrings shimmered with a gentle luster, enhancing her radiant beauty. Throughout the evening, Sophia felt countless eyes on her, like spotlights, filled with curiosity, scrutiny, and ambiguous judgment. Whispered conversations surrounded her."Don't be nervous," Ethan reassured, placing his hand gently over hers. Sophia turned her head, smiling softly at him. "With you here, I'm not ne
