"Ms. Jenner, this is the first draft of the divorce agreement." Adam York set the document on the small table beside the hospital bed, his brows tightly furrowed.He'd already heard about what happened before coming and thought he was mentally prepared, but he still hadn't expected Astrid to turn herself into such a wreck.Adam had grown up following the Jenner family. He'd started working for Jenner Group back when Astrid's father, Conrad Jenner, was still alive. However, now that the Jenner and Judd Groups had merged, there was only so much he could do, even if he wanted to help."I must remind you that if you insist on getting a divorce, you need to be prepared for the worst," he said.Astrid paused while looking over the divorce agreement. "What kind of 'worst'?""After Jenner Group invested back then, its operations were gradually absorbed into Judd Group's system. Over the past few years, Mr. Judd has quietly bought up your family's scattered shares through a series of capit

In the ward at the convalescent center, Astrid held Helen's slightly cold hand, her eyes red.Seven years ago, there had been a massive fire. Her father, Conrad, had fought his way through the flames to drag her and Helen out, but he never made it. Since then, Helen's mind had never been the same.Right now, she sat there in a daze, clumsily gathering Astrid's hair and trying to smooth it out. "Your hair is so soft, Asta. It has to be brushed out to look pretty…""Mom, I'm going to divorce Reuben. It'll be just you and me from now on." Astrid wrapped her arms around Helen, a chill spreading through her chest."Divorce?" Helen jerked, and terror suddenly flooded her vacant eyes. She grabbed onto Astrid's collar with both hands, yanking and clawing like a madwoman. "Fire! It's burning everywhere! Asta, run! Don't let it burn you! Run!"She shoved Astrid away and snatched whatever she could reach from the table, hurling and smashing things in all directions."Mom, what's wrong?" Ast

"That woman just doesn't know her place! Does she actually think she can work with you, Mr. Ziegler? Does she even know who she is? You've seen plenty of women in your time. Why would you ever choose to work with her?" Eric said. He raised his glass, a fawning smile plastered on his face as he looked at Sidney. "Mr. Ziegler, don't you agree?"Sidney snapped to his senses. His fingers closed around the business card, pressing it into his palm. Instead of responding, he slowly rose and walked toward the door.Eric immediately hurried after him and clapped a hand on his shoulder. "Mr. Ziegler, it's still early. Where are you going? Aren't you going to stay and hear about our deal?"Sidney stopped. His sharp gaze was like a blade as it slid to the hand on his shoulder, and the air around him suddenly turned frosty. Impatience flashed in his eyes."It's all that annoying woman's fault," Eric rambled. "She relies on a man for everything and is nothing without him! She thinks she's so h

Sidney glared at Ian, who immediately laughed. "Relax. I'm just messing with you. You're way too tense."He paused, then leaned in with a mischievous look. "Seriously, though. Why are you so nervous? What's going on between you two?"Sidney fell silent for a moment. Before he could answer, Ian's expression turned serious. "She's not a simple woman. Someone might already have their eye on her."The hospital Astrid went to for her checkups and fertility treatments was the one where Ian worked. And he was her attending physician. Out of respect for patient privacy, he didn't bring up the fact that he'd treated her for infertility.Thinking of the suspicions he'd had before, he said earnestly, "She might have pissed off someone she shouldn't have. Somebody's taken a shot at her. If you don't want any trouble, I'd advise you not to get involved with her.""Do I look like I'm afraid of trouble?" Sidney gave him a dismissive look."So, you're actually going to help her?" Ian's eyes wide

"T-The baby!" Eleanor gasped in pain, forcing out the words.Reuben's expression darkened, and he let go before it was too late.Eleanor sucked in huge breaths and coughed violently with one hand pressed to her belly. Her face was flushed a dangerous red.Reuben looked down at her, his eyes calm and almost emotionless. He said coldly, "Focus on keeping the baby safe."With that, he turned and walked away without looking back.Eleanor's fingers curled tightly into a fist. Her hand rested on her belly, and her eyes blazed with resentment. Sooner or later, she would make Astrid pay for this!…At the same time, a sharp scream echoed through a villa at Crownview Residences.Astrid jolted awake from her sleep. Her face was deathly pale and drained of color. Her pupils were unfocused, and a fine sheen of sweat covered her forehead. She sat up in bed, unable to come back to herself for a long moment.Footsteps sounded in the hallway, growing closer and closer until they stopped right
