Chapter 51: The Psychiatrist

She had already finished her meal, but Morgan Byron wouldn't let her leave. Unable to play with her phone, she could only watch them eat. Morgan Byron hadn't ordered much—fish for lunch and shrimp for dinner, along with a little bit of potatoes and borscht. Morgan Byron ate quite cleanly, but it's uncommon for people to finish every last drop in a restaurant. There was still a little bit of borscht left, and Juliet Wagner really wanted Morgan Byron to drink it, but she hesitated several times before saying anything. Eventually, Morgan Byron seemed to notice and drank the slightly cooled soup at the bottom of the bowl. Kent Gilbert, however, didn't finish his enormous meal, which included a surf and turf platter—essentially a combination of seafood, poultry, and beef. There was an eye of round steak, half a roasted pigeon, and half a baked lobster. He stopped eating after finishing half the steak and asked the manager to bring dessert. Morgan Byron reminded him, "Fi

Chapter 52: A Thousand Cuts and Ten Thousand Stabs Don't Outweigh the First Move

The next day at work, Juliet Wagner acted as if nothing had happened, continuing with her usual routine. As for the matter of accompanying Senior Mrs. Byron to play mahjong tonight, she wasn't sure if Morgan Byron knew about it. Regardless, she needed to inform him.Morgan Byron merely responded with a simple, "Lose more. She has more money than she can spend."Juliet Wagner finally understood why Morgan Byron was always indifferent toward his mother. She smiled and prepared to leave for the day when Morgan Byron suddenly asked, "Have you added Kent Gilbert on WeChat?"She paused, not having answered yet, when he added, "Add him.""Okay, if this is considered part of my job."Morgan Byron looked up at her and nodded, "Yes, this is part of your job. So, visiting Kent Gilbert twice a week will be one of your tasks."Juliet Wagner licked her lips, but the words she didn't want to say still slipped out. "If a psychologist were really effective, Mr. Byron, you wouldn't have insisted o

Chapter 53: He Will Not Marry You

This statement was quite amusing, causing everyone to burst into laughter."Indeed, Shuxian, are you getting nervous?"After a few rounds, the mood wasn't as light anymore. Juliet Wagner had been the banker for quite a while, and even after more than ten rounds, she was still the banker.Mrs. Zhuang couldn't bear losing any longer, her frustration evident on her face: "Shuxian, where did you find this gambling goddess? You even tricked us by saying she was your daughter-in-law who didn't know how to play Cantonese Mahjong. She's been the banker for over ten rounds, and we, the players, have lost every time. Ms Wagner, with the money you've won, you could buy a house."Juliet Wagner remained calm: "Ladies, I'm flattered. I have a feeling I'll lose the next round."True to her word, Juliet Wagner stepped down from being the banker, and it felt like a weight had been lifted off everyone else's shoulders.At that moment, Mrs. Xu complained about being hungry: "We've been playing all

Chapter 54: Keep It for Yourself to Eat

Not long after, the drivers of all the ladies were waiting at the entrance.Senior Mrs. Byron was feeling a bit regretful for having boasted earlier. She knew that Morgan would never come to pick her up; she had never received such treatment before. Moreover, the relationship between mother and son had always been tense. The more she tried to push Juliet Wagner onto him, the more he refused to accept it. It was like dealing with a rebellious teenager, where defiance was the main theme.Originally, the ladies' drivers could have just left, but they seemed to have made an unspoken agreement to wait and watch Senior Mrs. Byron's embarrassment. Mrs. Zhuang, who had sharp eyes, spotted Senior Mrs. Byron's driver first: "Isn't that Old Zhang? He's been waiting for you at the door, Shuxian. Why not just call Morgan and tell him not to come? He's so busy, handling countless matters every day. There's no need to trouble the child, making him run around."Juliet Wagner, with a smile, chimed i

Chapter 55: Merely a Trick by Immortals

The coolness of early autumn had already begun to seep into the night air.The night breeze tousled Juliet Wagner's shoulder-length curls. The blue suit she wore today suited her well, making her look particularly gentle. However, no amount of gentleness could conceal the unmasked coldness and wariness in her eyes.At times, Morgan Byron felt as if Juliet Wagner was a stranger—so unfamiliar that it was as if he had never known her before.They stood in silent confrontation for a moment, and then Juliet Wagner suddenly came to her senses, realizing that her reaction had been a bit too intense.She was just thinking about how to make amends when Morgan Byron spoke in a calm tone: "I just got off the drinking table and haven't eaten yet. Would you like to join me for something to eat?"With that, he started walking forward, and Juliet Wagner hurried to catch up.Morgan Byron was always a man of steady emotions, which was one of his major strengths.This street was lined with high-e

Chapter 56: Wait Until I Become Mrs. Zhan

Juliet Wagner originally didn't want to let her in, but Helen started a tantrum as soon as she saw her."Juliet Wagner, what are you up to? You actually tried on my wedding dress. What gives you the right to try on my wedding dress? Who do you think you are?"Helen's words made Juliet Wagner frown. If it were anyone else, she would have simply closed the door and let them scream outside. But while Helen had no shame, Juliet Wagner still did. So, she pulled Helen inside and shut the door.Helen was momentarily stunned but continued her tirade."Juliet Wagner, I know you've always wanted to seduce Morgan. I'm well aware of your role when you were by his side, but now he has me. You better stick to your place!""What is my place?" Juliet Wagner shuffled to the bathroom in her slippers to wash up.Helen followed her, "You're just a secretary. From today, you better behave, or I'll make sure you can't even keep your job as a secretary!"Juliet Wagner began brushing her teeth, the ele

Chapter 57: The Puppeteer Behind Her

"Okay, I understand." Juliet Wagner quickly grabbed the necessary documents from her workstation and rushed to the exhibition center.She happened to meet Morton Norris right at the entrance of the parking lot. He had just gotten out of his car, swinging his car keys in a carefree manner, giving off an air of a spoiled rich kid."Hey, what a coincidence, Ms Wagner, where are you heading?" Morton Norris greeted her with a smile, "The road to the exhibition center is under construction. Do you want me to give you a ride?"How did he know she was going to the exhibition center?Juliet Wagner politely but distantly nodded at him, "Good morning, Mr. Norris. I have my own car, thank you, but no need."Then she jogged towards her car. Behind her, Morton Norris shouted,"Ms Wagner, don't waste your time on Morgan Byron. You’re a smart person; why waste your youth on him?"It was really annoying. Two people had already come to negotiate with her this early in the morning.Juliet Wagner

Chapter 58: Neither a Cure for the Symptoms Nor a Solution to the Root Cause

Due to Juliet Wagner's oversight, the documents for this investment conference arrived a bit late. Although it didn't cause any major issues or losses, for someone who had never made a mistake before, this small error felt like a grave sin.After the conference, Juliet Wagner immediately apologized to Morgan Byron, her words filled with self-reproach, without mentioning the real culprit, Helen, at all.Morgan Byron didn't say much, only asking, “What time is the lunch meeting?”“Eleven-thirty,” Juliet Wagner replied. “I will send you the guest list shortly.”Morgan Byron looked at her for a moment, probably wondering how she would send the list without a phone.Before he could ask, Juliet Wagner pulled out a tablet from her bag. The tablet and her phone were linked, and she had a habit of uploading all her work content to the cloud, so losing one device wouldn't disrupt her work. She asked The Driver to take Morgan Byron to the hotel for a brief rest while she notified the guests.

Chapter 59: A Soulless Performance

She was still in the hotel, having slept through the entire afternoon. There were important events scheduled for the afternoon and a banquet in the evening. She was to be Morgan Byron's dance partner; their first dance would be the Blue Danube, an elegant and passionate quickstep that had made them famous. Usually, after they finished dancing, the enthusiastic applause could almost lift the roof.She hurriedly got out of bed, her feet searching for slippers on the floor. On the bedside table, illuminated by a dim light, she found a note with Morgan Byron's neat handwriting: "There's congee in the kitchen."Slipping into her slippers, she followed the aroma of the rice porridge to the kitchen. The presidential suite's kitchen was equipped for cooking, and there was a small electric pot. Lifting the lid, she saw a pot of white, fragrant congee.On the table, there was a bowl, a spoon, a small dish of side dishes, and a jar of meat floss next to it.She served herself a bowl of congee

Chapter 60: Eight Million

Morgan Byron's originally relaxed brow suddenly furrowed, eventually twisting into a small knot, triggered by some unknown word or gesture that displeased him. He looked down at his little finger, which was being held by Ruo Du, until she let go, sensing his discomfort.From his reaction, Ruo knew she had messed up her act. As she watched him retreat to the guest room, she softly bid him goodnight, "Mr. Byron, have a good rest."The door closed gently, and Ruo collapsed onto the sofa. The stomach pain had vanished, and the aroma of rice still lingered in the living room. Everything felt so surreal, as if nothing had happened, including all the tenderness and care Morgan had shown her just moments ago. Sometimes, Ruo wasn't sure which world was real.The next morning, Ruo woke up on the sofa. She had fallen asleep there without realizing it, and Morgan, who had been so considerate the previous night, had let her sleep there all night. Her legs were numb, and she struggled to stand up
