The Show

That evening, Ella returned to her parents’ residential complex in the Eve Gardens neighborhood.Just as she arrived, her father, Lucas, was getting off work. His face softened when he saw her. “Why did you buy so many things?”“I got a bonus from work. Thought I’d bring something home to share.”He helped steady her e-bike. “Come on, let’s head back.”On their way home, they passed through the villa section of the neighborhood.Piper was standing directly in their path.Seeing her, Lucas’s expression turned gentle. “Piper, why don’t you join us for dinner?”“No need. I just have something to say.”“Go ahead,” he said kindly.“Could you two stop working at Eve Gardens?” Piper asked quietly.Even though Nora publicly insisted she was the biological daughter, plenty of people still knew the truth.Ever since discovering Lucas was her biological father, Piper had deliberately avoided driving past the gate where he worked security.She didn’t want people whispering that her father was a s

Coincidence

Ella rode fast. She worried the location might be hard to spot.But the moment she arrived, she saw him.Over six feet tall, sharp features, effortlessly noticeable anywhere.She rode straight toward him.Sure enough, the two men were at it again—voices raised, gestures flying.She jumped off her e-bike. “Gentlemen, do you need help? Can we all calm down?”They glanced at her and, strangely, started arguing even harder.In the end, the scene concluded with a local traffic mediator arriving to resolve the issue.All parties patiently laid out their perspectives to Ella before leaving.She had been busy—but it paid off.The outline for her article was already forming in her head. Once she got home, she could write and submit it immediately.She walked back to her e-bike and saw Tiesto still there.“Mr. Sterling, thank you so much for today.”“Got your story?”“Yes!” She beamed. “And more importantly, their dispute was resolved. Conflict settled. It feels great.”He nodded.“Then I’ll he

Piper wanted to see exactly how this brother and sister planned to clean up today’s mess.She was practically a regular here. The moment she stepped inside, the floor manager hurried over with a bright smile. “Miss Hart! Welcome, welcome.”“Get me a private room,” Piper said.“I’m so sorry, all the private rooms are booked tonight. Would you mind sitting over there? It’s quieter.”“Fine.” She walked over gracefully.The restaurant was spacious, though it was only one floor.As she made her way across the dining area, she deliberately scanned the room.No sign of Daniel or Ella.Bertha couldn’t hold back her laughter. “Piper, this is hilarious. They bragged about coming here for dinner, but there’s not even a shadow of them.”Gigi added, “All talk. I bet that so-called brother dragged Ella out the back door through the kitchen!”Piper lifted her teacup, feeling embarrassed on their behalf.At that moment, she felt even more grateful that she had chosen to stay with her adoptive mother,

New Car

Bertha quickly explained, “It’s for Piper. We’re just helping her carry it.”The restaurant manager smiled and walked past them—straight toward Ella. “No, this is for Ms. Ella Hart. The kitchen specially set aside some Australian abalone and king crab for you. Please take it.”Bertha and Gigi froze mid-reach, hands hanging awkwardly in the air.Ella hurried to refuse. “You already didn’t charge us for lunch. I really can’t accept this…”“Oh, you have to,” the manager insisted warmly. “Chef Hank and Chef Lee both said so. If you don’t take it, I won’t know what to tell them.”He firmly pressed the gift into her hands.“I’ll carry it for my sister,” Daniel said.With no way out, Ella accepted. The siblings each carried a box as they left together.“Come by anytime,” the manager called. “I won’t keep you. Goodbye.”Off to the side, Bertha had already pulled up the prices of the two types of seafood. “What? That has to be fake.”Gigi swallowed. “It’s real…”“There’s no way the kitchen wou

Blocked

That evening at dinner, Ella mentioned to her parents that her brother had bought her a car.She’d hoped they would persuade him not to.She’d tried all day. He wouldn’t budge.Instead, Lucas clapped Daniel on the shoulder.“Taking care of your sister—that’s what a good brother does. You earned the money yourself. You have every right to spend it how you want. I support it.”Lora nodded in agreement.“Your father’s right. Money isn’t what matters. What matters is that our family loves and supports each other.”Then she said brightly, “Go grab that red ribbon from the closet. Let’s make this feel special.”The four of them went down to the parking garage and tied a red ribbon across the hood for good luck and safe travels.Lucas even brought out a bottle of sparkling cider, popped it, and splashed a little across the front bumper—an Elarisian-style “blessing” for the new car.At that moment, Nora happened to stop by to see Piper’s new car and caught sight of the little ceremony.Lora g

Visit

Ella delayed telling Tiesto about the parental visit until Friday.When she finally called her mother, Lora sounded delighted. “Of course we’re free this weekend! It’s rare you both get time off. We should all have dinner together.”“Tiesto wants to come visit you and Dad. Is that convenient?”“Convenient? Of course it is! I’ve been wanting him to come for dinner—I just didn’t want to disturb his work.”After hanging up, Ella called Tiesto.“Mr. Sterling, are you free Saturday evening?”He usually spent weekends working.But he’d cleared this one ahead of time.“Yes. I’ll pick you up, and we’ll go together.”“Okay.”She wasn’t eager to be alone with him—but with her whole family present, that wouldn’t be an issue.The thought made her relax.At Sterling Group headquarters, Tiesto called Javi in.“Arrange some gifts for meeting elders.”“What type of elders, Mr. Sterling?”Javi was experienced in preparing gifts—usually for business partners or family friends tied to company interests.

Gift

Lora opened the box and gasped at the contents.“This is far too expensive. We can’t accept this…” she said quickly.Nathan replied casually, “It’s nothing special. Please, just take it. This gold necklace is for you. The gold bracelet is for Ella. The cigarettes, liquor, and supplements are for Mr. Hart and the three brothers.”He listed each item one by one.The necklace and bracelet were solid gold. At current market prices, each piece easily ran into 4 figures. The tobacco, alcohol, and health tonics were all top-tier brands—expensive and impressive.Nora and Piper felt conflicted.On one hand, Nathan’s generosity made them proud.On the other, they didn’t want him getting too close to Lucas and Lora.“It’s really too much…” Lora tried again.Nora pursed her lips. “Nathan comes from a good family and earns well himself. Ordinary gifts would be embarrassing. Just accept them. You haven’t even seen what he gave us—that’s what you’d call truly valuable.”Her words carried more than p

Move In

Lora felt a deep wave of disappointment.She turned to Tiesto. “Tiesto, Piper is immature. Please don’t take it to heart.”“It’s fine,” he replied calmly. “Please keep the gifts. They’re from me and my family—just a small token.”“Oh, we can’t possibly accept something like this—”“Mom,” he said gently, “on our wedding day, I had an urgent issue at the company and couldn’t come home with Ella. That was disrespectful. Please forgive me. If you refuse these, I won’t dare visit again.”Lora hesitated.Lucas made the decision. “We’ll accept them.”They would eventually pass them back to the children anyway. For now, they’d keep them safe.Ella lowered her voice. “Mr. Sterling, my sister’s personality is… like that. I’m sorry.”“It’s nothing.”But suddenly he wondered—had Ella suffered a lot growing up alongside Piper?He looked at her, something unfamiliar stirring in his chest.She smiled lightly. “Good. We won’t lower ourselves to that. Let’s stay in a good mood.”Then he remembered som

Misunderstand

Ella had been about to ask why he hadn’t said anything sooner.Then she remembered—it was technically his place. She didn’t really have grounds to object if he wanted to stay.“So… how long are you planning to live here?” she asked. “I don’t mean anything by it. Just asking.”“Depends,” Tiesto said with a faint smile. “Maybe three to five months. Or maybe I’ll just move in permanently.”Moving in, after all, wasn’t that difficult.…“Mr. Sterling, how long are you staying over there?” Javi asked later.“Three to five days,” Tiesto replied calmly.Javi grinned. “Honestly, your wife’s apartment is pretty nice. Not far from the company either. Convenient. If you’re planning to stay long-term, I can go pack your things now—”“When did I say I was staying long-term?” Tiesto cut him off. “There are too many people eyeing her. I’m staying a few days temporarily. She’s my wife. If other men start making moves, I need to protect my reputation.”Javi didn’t expose him.If he truly didn’t care,

Not Picky

After dinner, Ella took her robe into the bathroom.She washed her underwear and was about to hang it on the balcony.She didn’t have any particular modesty complex about laundry. Clothes were clothes.But after that time he’d accidentally seen them before, she found herself hesitating.In the end, she tucked them into a small corner to dry.That night, she expected it to feel strange having someone else in the apartment.Instead, she slept surprisingly well.The next morning, while brushing her teeth, she noticed something.Her underwear had been moved.Rescued from the corner and hung neatly out in the open on the main balcony.There were only two people in the apartment.If she hadn’t done it—Her sleepiness vanished instantly.Tiesto walked over with a cup of coffee and saw her staring at the balcony, face flushed.He said calmly, “Clothes need sunlight. It kills bacteria.”With her toothbrush still in her mouth, she bolted back into the bathroom.…Later at work, Ella received a
