Alexa went straight into the walk-in closet as soon as she entered the room.Standing in front of one of the storage cabinets, her hand opened its door.A safe came into view.Alexa reached for the keypad on the safe, her index finger pressing the combination numbers until a click sounded from the door.She opened the safe. Inside were important documents, including the share certificates she owned.Alexa stared at the share certificate in her hand. A bitter smile formed on her lips.“So this is what they want, isn’t it? They think I still know nothing and can be fooled?”Her gaze sharpened as her fingers slowly crumpled the paper in her hand.Very soon, she would slap everyone with the truth.**That night.Alexa went down to the dining room after a servant called her.As she stepped into the dining room, her presence was met with a cold reception from Franklin and Olivia.Alexa sat down in the available chair without greeting her father.Franklin shot her a cynical look.“So you sti

At the Ivander residenceOlivia stepped out to the side of the house after finishing dinner.There, she fixed her gaze on a servant who stood with her head bowed the moment she noticed Olivia’s presence.Olivia stopped in front of the servant, her stare intimidating.“Did you do what I told you earlier?”The servant nodded. “Yes, Madam. Exactly as you instructed.”“Good.” A sly smile curved on Olivia’s lips.“So, is Alexa writhing in pain in her room right now?”Olivia knew that no one ever passed by Alexa’s room. Even if her stepdaughter were groaning in pain and calling for help, no one would hear her.“As for that, earlier I saw Miss Alexa didn’t return to her room, Madam. It seems she left the house.”“Left the house?” Olivia frowned deeply. For a moment she was surprised, but then she smiled again. “That’s even better. If she suddenly dies because she can’t endure the pain, she’ll rot outside—not in this house.”A cruel grin spread across her lips. ‘If she dies, it will be much e

Devan’s gaze was indescribable. His eyes were still sharp, but there was something different glinting within them.Alexa continued to lean her head back. The air around her seemed to disappear, forcing her to hold her breath because of the extremely close distance between her and Devan.Still wrapped in a suffocating silence, Devan raised his hand, and the pad of his thumb touched the corner of Alexa’s lips.Alexa froze. Her eyes couldn’t leave Devan’s face. This man—was he really not disgusted to wipe away the remnants of food from her lips?“I have to go to the office. If there’s anything, you can contact me.” Devan straightened his body after speaking.Alexa nodded. She pressed her lips tightly together, her cheeks flushing red. She took another spoonful of porridge, not daring to look at Devan.She glanced toward Devan as he walked toward the door, before finally disappearing behind it.Alexa let out a rough breath. Devan really had the ability to make her stop breathing out of pa

“Very familiar?” Devan’s voice was cold and carried sharp emphasis. His eyes hardened as he continued, “Did you make it or buy it, that you feel you recognize that item?”Ronan was startled by Devan’s words, especially by the displeased tone in his voice. “N-No, it’s not like that. I just feel like I’ve seen it before,” Ronan said with a stiff smile, panic creeping in.Devan narrowed his eyes. “If there’s nothing else you want to discuss, you may leave. I still have a lot of work to handle.”Ronan looked at Devan, who had already lowered his gaze to the documents on his desk after speaking. His hands clenched before he finally stood up from his chair.Ronan cast another brief glance at the box he recognized, but then chose to ignore it. “In that case, I’ll take my leave, Uncle.” Ronan stepped away from Devan’s desk and headed for the door.As soon as he heard the door close, Devan stared at it for a moment before turning his attention to Alexa’s desk.His gaze fell on the box Ronan h

Alexa stepped into the ballroom. Her arrival immediately drew everyone’s attention, and the guests smiled as they looked at her.“The Ivander family’s daughter is truly beautiful.”“Unlike ….”Felicya noticed several guests glancing at her after praising Alexa’s beauty. Her hands clenched tightly. As long as Alexa existed, she would never be able to become the Young Lady of the Ivander family.Not far from where Felicya stood, Valeria cast a sharp look at her best friend’s stepsister. It was clear Valeria could read the meaning behind the smile on Felicya’s lips—a cunning smile that wanted to bring Alexa down.Valeria approached Alexa, who was walking toward Ronan.She stood right in front of Alexa, stopping her steps.“You’re here.” Alexa’s smile was wide.“I didn’t come to congratulate you. I refuse to congratulate you on your engagement to that jerk.”Alexa smiled at Valeria’s words, not offended in the slightest.“I came because I want to see the surprise you prepared. So, are you
