The restaurant looked more like a surprise proposal than anything else. Colorful balloons and roses were laid out from the entrance all the way to the stage super romantic vibes going on. Sweet and dreamy background music filled the place, and a big screen kept looping pictures from Annie's daily life. At the bottom corner? A huge caption: "Blind Date Gala." Looking around the room, it was packed wall-to-wall with men in suits, all seemingly eligible bachelors. The whole vibe was buzzing. Right up front on a stage sprinkled with rose petals stood two adorable kids, each holding a mic. They'd just wrapped up a heart-eyes introduction of their mom. The moment things quieted down, a man in the crowd raised his voice, "Didn't you say she'd be here in five? It's been what—twenty now? Your mom's still a no-show!" Someone nearby chuckled, joking with a sly smile, "Yeah, kids, your mom didn't ditch you two at the altar or something, did she?" A few folks found the kids cute and co

William's face darkened as he watched the two looking so cozy together. Rowand turned around, scooped up Mia in his arms, met William's gaze directly, and gave him a small, confident smile. "Yeah, I'm her dad." His calm and self-assured smile only made William's expression turn even more sour. A burning anger lit up inside William s. He narrowed his eyes and gave Annie a cold glance before saying in a low, threatening tone, "If I'm not mistaken, most of your company's projects are still tied to Miller Group. Are you really ready to risk it all just to piss me off?" Anyone could hear the warning behind his words. Rowand's smile froze, and his face went blank without responding. Seeing his reaction, Williams looked pleased. He turned and left, his retreating figure exuding a chill. Annie’s feelings were all over the place, but there wasn’t time to dwell on them. Once William’s car was out of sight, she quickly took Mia from Rowand’s arms and set her down. Looking at Rowand,

The morning sunlight poured through the tall glass windows of Annie’s temporary office, but it did nothing to improve her mood. She stared at the document in front of her, her fingers tightening around the paper. Termination Penalty: 80,000,000 Dollars. Eighty million. Her jaw clenched. “Unbelievable,” she muttered. Across the desk, Leah nearly choked on the coffee she had just taken a sip of. “Wait hold on.” Leah grabbed the contract and skimmed through it again, her eyes widening. “Eighty million? Are they serious?!” Annie leaned back in her chair, exhausted already even though the day had barely started. “I signed a cooperation contract with VM entertainment. Leah frowned. “Okay… so why the penalty?” Annie exhaled slowly. “Because I canceled it.” Leah blinked. “…You canceled it?” “Yes.” “Why?” Annie’s fingers tapped the desk. “Because yesterday I found out something.” Leah’s expression slowly changed. “…What?” Annie’s voice turned colder. “William Miller VM

The afternoon sun hung lazily over the city as Annie stepped out of the café with a folder tucked under her arm. She had just finished another meeting with her lawyer, and although the legal strategy was beginning to take shape, the weight of the situation still sat heavily on her shoulders.Eighty million.The number followed her everywhere.She sighed and checked the time on her phone. The kids would be home soon from their afternoon activity class with Leah. Annie was about to head toward the parking lot when she heard someone call her name.“Annie?”The voice was hesitant, almost disbelieving.Annie paused.Slowly, she turned around.A young woman stood a few meters away, wearing a stylish cream coat and large sunglasses. Her long hair fell in soft waves over her shoulders, and although she looked older and more polished than before, Annie recognized her instantly.Her eyes widened.“Coco?”The woman pulled off her sunglasses, revealing bright, excited eyes.“Oh my God, Annie!

The Miller family mansion stood quietly under the golden evening lights, its towering gates and manicured gardens giving it an almost intimidating elegance. Inside, the long dining table had been prepared for dinner. Coco arrived a little late. She walked into the dining hall, dropping her purse on the chair and stretching lazily. “Wow. You’re really serious about this family dinner thing, huh?” At the head of the table sat William Miller. He didn’t look up immediately. He was reviewing something on his tablet, his expression calm but focused. “You’re late,” he said simply. Coco rolled her eyes and sat down. “Relax. It’s not like the food was going to run away.” William finally lifted his gaze. His eyes scanned her briefly before returning to the screen. “You said you were visiting a friend.” “I was.” “Which friend?” Coco grabbed a grape from the fruit bowl and popped it into her mouth. “You’re interrogating me now?” William’s voice stayed neutral. “Just asking.” C
