The smile faded from Astrid's lips, but the chill at her fingertips seeped into her palm.Sidney gave her a sidelong glance. She had lowered her lashes, which cast small, faint shadows on her face. Her expression was unreadable."Thank you, Mr. Ziegler, but I still have things to do. I won't keep you." With that, Astrid left to confirm Stephen's ward number with a nurse.When she pushed open the door of the ward, the sharp smell of disinfectant flooded her nose. Stephen was sitting up in bed and staring blankly ahead. His aged face was lined with worry, making him look especially pitiful.The gloom in Astrid's eyes faded a little. She forced a small smile and quickly stepped into the room. She called softly, "Grandpa."Stephen turned to her at once, and his cloudy eyes lit up. "Asta!"His gaze then fell on the tall figure behind her."You… This is…" His voice was hoarse, and his speech was still slurred after having just come out of surgery.Before Astrid could answer, Sidney s

Astrid arched a brow, her expression darkening as she crossed her arms over her chest and eyed Sylvia coldly."What did you just say? You want me to kneel to you? In your dreams!" Sylvia snapped, furious as she rushed over and raised her hand to slap Astrid.Astrid reacted fast and caught her wrist in a tight grip. "Listen up, you brat. This is a hospital, and Grandpa is sick. If you want to cause a scene, do it outside!"Her voice was icy as she flung Sylvia's hand away. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed Stephen's chest heaving with anger as he panted roughly. She hurried to his bedside and poured him a glass of water.Just as she was about to help him drink, Sylvia slapped the glass out of her hand. With a sharp crack, it shattered on the floor, water splashing everywhere.Sylvia snorted. "Don't think that the assets will all be yours just because you're playing the dutiful granddaughter. Grandpa is out of his mind right now. That's why he's thinking of leaving everythin

"How much will it cost?" Astrid raised an eyebrow.She was only testing the waters. After all, the man before her was Sidney Ziegler, someone ordinary people barely even caught a glimpse of. Why would he humble himself to play chauffeur over and over?Judging from the look on Sylvia's face, she wasn't going to let this go. Astrid was afraid she would get ambushed at the hospital. If Sidney refused to give her a ride, she would just have to sneak out through the back entrance.Astrid was still mulling over her options when Sidney's low voice rang out in her ear. "Shall we, Ms. Jenner?"She looked up at him and saw him making an "after you" gesture, like a perfect gentleman. She didn't dither, only freezing for a second before walking out of the ward. He followed closely, and they soon got to the hospital entrance.Sidney stepped forward, opened the car door, and turned back to look at her, amusement flickering in his gaze. His beautiful eyes narrowed slightly as he smiled, making h

In a private room at a bar called the Night Muse, Giselle listened as Astrid recounted the recent mess her life had turned into. Her eyes nearly popped out of her head."Your life is more like a soap opera than any of the actual soap operas I've been in!" Giselle raised her voice, her tone reproachful. "Why are you only telling me now, after something this huge happened?"Astrid downed her drink in one go. The sharp burn flooded her mouth, slid down her throat, and lit a line of heat all the way to her chest. It stirred up a wave of irritation."It's all in the past now," she said."In the past?" Giselle shot her a look. They'd been best friends for years. No one knew Astrid better than she did. When it came to love and hatred, it was all or nothing for Astrid. Most importantly, the one thing she would never tolerate was being played for a fool."This isn't something that just passes! I should call the tabloids right now so they can dig up every last dirty secret on Reuben. Show

"Sidney isn't just petty. He's a complete psycho!" Astrid finally caved under Giselle's relentless pestering, and the words slipped right out.Setting aside the "fare" nonsense, just the fact that Sidney had asked Astrid to be his lover for three months was insane enough. What kind of supposedly upright man would even make a demand like that?With a loud bang, the private room door was suddenly kicked open. A tall, lean figure filled the doorway.His tailored suit traced out a perfect silhouette. The man stood against the light, the glow from the hallway carving his profile into sharp angles. His eyes lifted slightly, landing on Astrid with unerring precision.Her breath hitched, and her eyes widened in shock. She stared at Sidney in disbelief."Ms. Jenner, what are you talking about that's got you in such a good mood?" His low voice carried a charming magnetism.But to Astrid, it sounded like a death knell. Her scalp tingled. Could anything be more mortifying than badmouthing so
