Of course she hated him. Because apart from the time she gave birth to Reece, he had only asked her to come back once. After that, he rarely appeared in front of her, yet his attitude of constantly making things difficult for her had never faded from her life. Like right now!GR Company had always been a supplier for the Bo Family company, providing building materials. At an auction a week ago, Dave had just returned to work at the group. GR sent Alice to participate. Elaine had investigated GR—while the materials they delivered had technically passed inspection, there was one aspect that was illegal.Initially, this should have been a settled matter, but Elaine still didn’t trust GR. First, their prices were much higher compared to other material companies. Second, she suspected Alice would just go through the motions and supply them with substandard materials that failed testing. And as it turned out, she had found something suspicious back then.After that incident came to light, G

Everyone in the Bo company knew what had happened between Cindy Tang and Elaine Qin, and they also knew better than to comment on the affair between Cindy and Dave. They all understood that what Elaine had said at Luoshen Beach was just an excuse to restore the project’s reputation. Soap operas about "concubines and empresses" would never go out of style!The glass Alice Lim had poured for Elaine was almost overflowing. She had chosen the highest-proof vodka. Elaine wasn’t good at drinking hard liquor at all—she would definitely get drunk instantly if she drank it. But that wasn’t the most important thing. What mattered most was that Elaine knew: if Dave chose his mistress Cindy over her, she would never be able to hold her head up again—not in front of Cindy, not at the Bo company, and not within the Bo family!Elaine’s heart trembled. She didn’t even dare to look at Dave’s face, knowing she couldn’t win, but she still looked up at him. He was leaning lazily on the sofa in the VIP ro

After three rounds of drinking, Alice was already visibly drunk. Just as she felt a sharp pain in her stomach, John’s phone rang. He paused, reached for his phone, and saw it was his assistant calling. He knew she was aware he was at the celebration party—she wouldn’t have called unless it was something truly important. John answered the call.Elaine was feeling dizzy from the alcohol. She leaned back in her chair, her ears buzzing, and everyone in front of her seemed to have double shadows. The people who tried to toast her were all blocked by John. Her head throbbed, and she tried to move her body, but someone with a flushed, drunken face came close and almost pressed against her.Elaine looked up and saw Elly’s smiling face. “Director Qin, let me propose a toast to you!”Elaine raised her eyebrows. Elly was from the Public Relations Department. She wanted John to kick her out, but when she turned around, she saw John’s face—once warm, now dark and gloomy after taking the call. He q

Earlier, Dave had forced her to drink two glasses of vodka through Alice. Elaine’s consciousness was already blurry, and her secretary James could only watch, helpless and worried. Dave was toasting with everyone in the VIP room, saying that he was basically a fair person—everyone at the banquet, not just those from the Marketing Department, was there because they had achievements and merits. Since she was Mrs. Bo, a woman who wasn’t even liked by her own husband, he naturally had to show concern for her in front of everyone. After all, Dave was the head of the company, and many people wanted to make a good impression on him. As a result, more and more people wanted to drink with Elaine.Seeing that Dave wasn’t paying attention, James drank a few glasses in her place. The wave of people coming to toast finally subsided, but Elaine felt dizzy.“Director Qin? Are you okay?” James’s voice carried a hint of unnoticeable worry.Elaine licked her pale lips and shook her head. The movement m

Cindy returned to the VIP room, where the atmosphere was still lively. Her eyes fell directly on the light green LV bag and mobile phone beside Dave. The smile on her face grew even more satisfied. She swayed her hips and sat down next to him.Cindy rarely saw a man as handsome as Dave, even in the entertainment industry. He sat alone among the partying crowd, the flashing disco lights making her feel uncomfortable. With Elaine gone, the seat beside Dave was empty. He held a glass in his hand, turning his wrist, the liquid inside glowing dimly under the lights, making him look even more handsome. A moment later, Dave poured the drink into his mouth. Even such a simple movement as drinking was done with elegance and grace.Cindy’s eyes darkened. Thinking Dave was in a bad mood, she placed her hand on his arm and smiled charmingly. “Dave, are you upset? I’ve helped you vent your anger. Don’t take that old woman’s actions to heart!”Dave looked at her with deep disdain. He subconsciously

John looked at Dave’s furrowed, thoughtful brows, not knowing what he was thinking, but assuming there must be some guilt towards Elaine in his heart. His expression softened slightly, but the anger in his heart could not be suppressed. He managed to keep his tone steady as he said, “Dave, Elaine is your wife. Over the past three years, do you have any idea what she has gone through?”“Everyone sneers at her. She faces all kinds of difficulties. Even now, the Bo family refuses to acknowledge Reece! Because of your attitude towards her, they all call Reece an illegitimate child. They say Elaine married you with her child just to get her hands on the Bo family’s money.”“The child is only three years old! Dave?!”“He is indeed an illegitimate child. You can’t stop people from talking about it.” Dave suddenly spoke, cutting John off mid-sentence. His deep eyes were as cold as winter snow, their chill piercing to the bone.“Why? Elaine married into the Bo family with an illegitimate child

The man lowered his head slightly, a faint smile playing on his lips. The newspaper headline was as exaggerated as ever, crafted to grab readers’ attention—but all Dave saw was a familiar-looking back figure. He steadied his breathing, his fingertips pressing just below the bold headline, over the blurry photo. His voice was ice-cold, stripped of all warmth. “William, do you recognize the drunk woman in this newspaper?”William furrowed his brows, his gaze fixed on the photo Dave was pointing at. He had initially wanted to tease him, but the sheer seriousness on Dave’s face made him think twice. He shook his head. “I don’t know her.” No sooner had he spoken than he added, “I only just found out you left the celebration party last night!”As soon as the words left his mouth, he realized something was off. Frowning, he continued, “Wait, that’s not strange, is it? Didn’t Bo Company hold a celebration party yesterday for the opening at Luoshen Beach?”“Dave, I also heard you invited Mr. A

The room was packed with people—even reporters were there. Yet as the bodyguard struck and kicked the woman, no one stepped in to stop him. Instead, they all focused on snapping photos. When Dave slammed the door open, every eye in the room turned to him. The moment Mrs. Lim caught sight of him, her body went rigid.As William drew closer, he immediately recognized the woman lying on the floor. He reached out to touch Dave’s arm, leaning in to whisper in a tone only the two of them could hear. “Dave, isn’t this the girl from your company’s Public Relations Department? Doing public relations even in bed?”Dave felt a sudden wave of relief. He recognized her too—lying unconscious on the floor, her leg broken, it was Jessy from the PR Department.“Bo?? Mr. Bo, please, let me explain first!” Mrs. Lim thought Dave had come because she’d hurt his wife, Jessy, and was here to demand justice. She was at a total loss for how to explain herself, unable to utter a single coherent word. She had

"President Director!"William hadn’t even finished speaking when Elsa suddenly pushed open the door to the president’s office and rushed in. She had intended to speak her mind right away, but the moment she saw William, she fell silent.Dave and William both furrowed their brows. Dave looked displeased and said, "If there’s a problem, just say it directly."Elsa hesitated for a few seconds before explaining, "President Director, I just received a call from the kindergarten teacher. She said that Director Qin’s daughter got into a dispute with a boy at school, and they ended up fighting..."Dave looked at her cynically, a sneer tugging at the corner of his lips. "So, is this why Director Qin has been late or absent lately?"Elsa broke out in a cold sweat. "No, that’s not it. Teacher Miss Reece couldn’t be reached, so the school called here. The teacher said that Miss Reece hit the boy so hard she broke his bones and bruised his forehead. The school hopes Miss Reece’s father will come o

"Every day, it’s either about Elaine or her daughter. Is Elaine your boss? Or is she the one who pays your salary?" Dave’s face was expressionless as he looked at Elsa, the last trace of warmth vanishing from his eyes. "I told you, I won’t go! That bastard child has nothing to do with me!"He raised his wrist and glanced at his luxury watch. The light glinting off its surface was like falling starlight, bright yet icy—so terribly cold."Elaine still hasn’t returned to the office?"Elsa nodded. Dave’s heart churned with frustration. He frowned, his gaze sharp as a thin, keen blade. He slammed his hand on the desk with a loud bang that made Elsa flinch."She’s the Marketing Director, and she’s doing a fine job, isn’t she! You can never get hold of her when you need her, or even when you don’t! Who gave her the courage to act like this?"Dave was furious. Elsa answered even more cautiously, "President Director, this is the first time Director Qin has been late, and I can’t reach her at a
