Joy was terrified, tears streaming down her face as she cried, "Daddy, it's not Mommy's fault! Joy guessed it herself! Mommy didn't say anything to Joy..."To this day, Nora Fatehi had never spoken a single bad word about Nicholas Taylor in front of their daughter.But how could Nicholas Taylor believe that now?He scooped Joy into his arms and spat at Nora Fatehi, "You don't deserve to be Joy's mother. Since you can't raise her right, someone else will."Someone else?What did he mean by that?Was he going to take Joy to Nadia?Nora Fatehi's composure shattered. She screamed, "Nicholas Taylor—if you dare take Joy away, I'll die right in front of you!"He ignored her and strode toward the door. Nora Fatehi flew after him like a madwoman, grabbed his arm, and bit down with all her might."Let go, you psycho!"The pain made him fling her aside—his arm nearly torn open, blood pouring from the wound.Nora Fatehi's lower back slammed into the corner of the table, sending a bolt of agony thr

But Nicholas Taylor never expected that, the moment those words left his mouth, his phone started buzzing incessantly with transfer alerts—one huge sum after another pouring out of his accounts.It was Nora Fatehi. She'd anticipated him freezing her cards.Watching his money disappear in real time, Nicholas Taylor was furious. "Quick—call the bank! Freeze every single card under my name!"Li said, "Mr. Taylor, I only have the company accounts. For your personal accounts, you have to call yourself. And besides... your cards have always been kept by your wife."Nicholas Taylor froze. Most of his cards were in Nora Fatehi's possession. He only had the two he used regularly—but those two held the largest balance of all.He called the bank immediately and cancelled the supplementary cards for those two accounts.After hanging up, the transfer alerts kept coming.In the end, Nora Fatehi had moved every cent she could. Nicholas Taylor's face was black as thunder. There was no question—divorce

Then Lana Rose countered, "From what you're saying, is Xavier Grayson just as hard to get close to at home?"Chloe Bishop nodded. "He is quite difficult. But as Xavier Grayson's friend, I'm sure you're well aware of that, Miss Lana?"Xavier Grayson's friend.With those words, she neatly stripped away any hint of ambiguity between Lana Rose and Xavier Grayson.Lana Rose just smiled.Chloe Bishop continued, "Still, once two people spend enough time together, they always find a way to get closer. Don't you agree, Miss Lana?"Lana Rose smiled lightly. "Relationships are hard to predict. Some people grow closer over time; others grow more distant. Divorce rates are so high these days. Who knows what tomorrow will bring?"If her earlier remark had been subtle, this was an outright provocation.Ava Adam, sensing the tension, chose to stay out of it.She said nothing. Gwen Grayson also kept quiet—she trusted Chloe Bishop could hold her own.To everyone's surprise, Chloe Bishop wasn't upset at

Chloe Bishop noticed Xavier Grayson almost immediately. She spoke to him as if nothing had ever happened between them. "I'm making noodles for Adrian. Do you want some?"Adrian Grayson eyed his father warily, afraid he'd scare Chloe Bishop off again.Xavier Grayson stared coldly at the "mother and son" for a few seconds, then strode back to his room without a word.After he left, Adrian Grayson grabbed his writing board and scribbled a line, holding it up for her: Chloe, Daddy said he doesn't want any.Chloe Bishop: "..."This kid was a master at sabotaging his dad.Still, she made a bowl for Xavier Grayson anyway. He rarely ate outside food.When the noodles were served, Adrian Grayson tried his best to pile all the fragrant beef noodles into his own little bowl—but even after making a mountain, he couldn't finish it all. Finally, he gave up and settled for what he had.Chloe Bishop knocked and entered the bedroom. Xavier Grayson had just stepped out of the shower, his hair still drip

"Do you know how exhausting it is to live with her?"Nicholas Taylor's voice rose, his composure cracking. "I've had enough of her domineering ways. Everything she has, I gave her. Without me, Nora Fatehi is nothing—so why should I have to keep coaxing her and accommodating her?"Nadia looked up at him, startled.He caught himself, took a deep breath, and said, "I'm sorry, Nadia. I'm not angry at you—I've just been holding this in for too long."She wiped her tears, pressed her face against his chest, and said softly, "If you're willing, I'm a good listener."He held her tighter, silent for a long moment, then finally spoke. "You know, I've wanted to move my mother and sister in with us for years. My mother's health isn't great, my sister has a heavy workload and stays at school often, and Justin Taylor lives on his own. We have servants, but I still worry.""Back then, because my mother opposed me being with Nora, I moved out with her. All these years later, my mother has long accepte
