When Chloe Bishop arrived at the track in the western district for training that day, there was already a large crowd of Lana Rose's fans there, cheering her on. Waves of applause echoed across the circuit. Gwen Grayson watched the fans bring Lana Rose flowers and water and felt a little sour. "When will we ever get fans bringing us flowers?" Chloe Bishop tapped her on the head. "The competition is just around the corner. Take every day of training seriously. Once you make a name for yourself in the racing world, people will take notice. Lana Rose is a celebrity—we don't need to compare ourselves to her." When Chloe Bishop stepped out of her car again, she saw that the situation with Nora Fatehi had completely flipped. After watching what Nicholas Taylor had said at his press conference, she was so furious she cursed him all the way to his ancestors. She'd known him for years—how had she never seen how utterly despicable he was? He was the worst kind of scumbag. Just to protect hi

"Chloe, look—Nora just struck back!"Chloe Bishop had been unable to reach Nora Fatehi and was growing restless. She was about to drag Gwen Grayson with her to the Taylor residence when Gwen Grayson refreshed her feed and saw Nora Fatehi's latest W******p post.Chloe Bishop grabbed the phone and read it. After a few seconds, a smile tugged at her lips. "Nora's counterattack is beautiful. Nicholas Taylor is about to eat his own words."Gwen Grayson was full of admiration. "I knew Nora wouldn't be so easily defeated. Those two—Nicholas Taylor and Nadia—they've hurt her so deeply. She can't let them get away with it. They deserve to live in shame forever."Chloe Bishop's expression grew worried. "I'm just afraid that a cornered dog will jump over the wall. Push Nicholas Taylor too far, and he might do something desperate."She feared Nicholas Taylor might play dirty. With his standing in New York City, if he truly set his sights on destroying Nora Fatehi, she'd have little defense.When N

At that moment, she hated Nicholas Taylor with every fiber of her being.Horns blared and angry shouts came from behind. Nora Fatehi rose numbly, like a hollow puppet, and shuffled to the side.She pulled out her phone and called Nicholas Taylor. It rang a few times before he rejected it.She called again. Rejected again.She knew he was ignoring her on purpose—he knew she'd be frantic with worry, and he wanted to make her suffer, to get back at her.She called again and again. Each rejection chipped away at her heart.On the seventh try, he finally answered.Nicholas Taylor said nothing. Nora Fatehi's voice was hoarse. "Give Joy back to me."His voice was ice-cold. "You can see her when you agree to the divorce.""Nicholas Taylor—are you really going to push me this far?""You're the one who's been pushing me, Nora Fatehi. After all these years of marriage, you've forgotten one thing: without me, you're nothing."Her heart turned to ice. "You've forgotten how you knelt before me and b

If they divorced, Nora Fatehi would be left with nothing. The Fatehi family wasn't what it used to be—her mother was gone, and she had a stepmother now. They wouldn't welcome her back like before.Wouldn't money be more important to her? If she took her daughter, the child would only suffer.That night, Nora Fatehi didn't go to the old mansion to demand her daughter back.Joy cried all night long. No matter how the servants or Nicholas Taylor tried to comfort her, she wouldn't stop—she just kept crying for her mother.Finally, Nicholas Taylor lost his patience and shouted at her, "Stop crying! If you don't stop, I'll throw you to the wolves in the back mountain!"Joy cowered, trembling, and kept whimpering, "I want my mommy... I want my mommy..." Her eyes were swollen, her throat raw, but she wouldn't give up.Madam Taylor was in a terrible mood. She'd never liked this granddaughter, and now the constant crying was giving her a splitting headache—she just wanted the child out of her si

The servants trembled. "It was... it was madam's order."Justin Taylor's face darkened further. He wanted to march inside and confront his mother, but Joy clutched his clothes tightly. "Uncle, I don't want to go in. Grandma is mean. I want to go home—I want my mommy..."Her sobs broke his heart. He stopped, gently wiped her tears, and said softly, "Okay, uncle will take you to your mommy."The servants didn't dare stop him. They hurried in to report to Madam Taylor.She waved a hand dismissively. "Let him go—good riddance. An ignorant little girl like that is just a nuisance."Justin Taylor brought Joy back to Nora Fatehi. It was an unexpected, precious gift. She held her daughter and wept for joy—like finding something she'd lost forever.Joy cried too. The little girl had been so frightened.Exhausted from crying, she soon fell asleep in Nora Fatehi's arms.Holding her daughter's soft body, Nora Fatehi said sincerely to Justin Taylor, "Thank you, Justin. Thank you for bringing Joy ba

Nanny thought for a moment, then said carefully, "This morning, the young mistress asked me for a pill and swallowed it with milk."A pill... with milk.Birth control.Xavier Grayson remembered now—he hadn't made her take it at the Bishop residence. She'd taken the initiative on her own.But for some reason, that only made him feel worse.Nanny watched his Young Lord stand and walk away with a dark expression, feeling equally puzzled. He'd been woken in the middle of the night for this—another quarrel with the young mistress?Back in his room, Xavier Grayson grabbed the medical kit with a scowl. He dressed his own wound, struggling with the bandages for quite a while before finally managing a decent wrap.Staring at the layers of gauze, he grew even angrier. It was because of her that he'd been ambushed by Seth Rollins in the first place—yet she showed no concern, not even a word of care.She'd practically begged him to marry her back then, and now all she thought about was leaving. An

Chloe Bishop gritted her teeth in anger. "You must have been dead asleep."The room was in complete disarray—and he claimed he didn't know?Xavier Grayson raised an eyebrow, his dignity as head of the household not to be challenged. "Say that again."He felt no guilt whatsoever.Chloe Bishop had lost all patience. She didn't want to argue with him. She quietly picked up the fragments, making several trips to clear the mess.Xavier Grayson got up, satisfied, and left the bedroom shortly after.The aroma of wontons filled the entire hall. Chloe Bishop had added her own homemade sesame oil to the broth, making it smell especially fragrant.Adrian Grayson was already digging in, head down, while Chloe Bishop sorted through the torn pieces, separating the book fragments from the notes.Xavier Grayson sat down. She didn't even look up.He tapped the empty bowl in front of her. She glanced at him briefly, then went back to her sorting.Ignored completely, he grew displeased. Was she more inte

Xavier Grayson said, "Time to change the dressing." Chloe Bishop replied, "Then go back to the bedroom. This is the kitchen." Why would he come to the kitchen for a dressing change? The medical kit wasn't there—and why had he locked the door? She caught the dangerous glint in his eyes and tried to slip past him, but his arm shot out and caught her waist. His cool breath fanned her face. "I'm still hungry, though." She'd poured all the wontons down the drain. She looked at the man before her—his face carrying a dark, seductive edge. Her heart pounded. "What else do you want? I'll cook something for you." "What do you think?" She felt his grip tighten around her waist, and she was lifted onto the counter. Her face went pale as she braced her hands against his chest. But her resistance meant nothing to him—like trying to fight off a cat with a feather. He grabbed the back of her head and kissed her hard. He'd wanted to do this ever since he saw her in that apron, bustling around

"What does she mean by that?"After Chloe Bishop left, Xavier Grayson's cold voice cut through the dining room.Nanny, standing behind him, stepped forward respectfully and said carefully, "Perhaps the young mistress wants a child. And taking birth control pills too often is harmful—it can disrupt her cycle."Seeing that Xavier Grayson didn't seem annoyed, he continued, "If you don't want children, sir, there are other methods of contraception."Nanny noticed Xavier Grayson pick up his phone. He "happened" to glance at the screen and saw that his Young Lord was searching online for contraceptive methods.Wasn't this something every adult already knew? Why did he need to look it up?It suddenly dawned on Nanny—his Young Lord was surprisingly innocent about such things!Back in her room, Chloe Bishop couldn't fall asleep. She went to the balcony to call Gwen Grayson and tell her she wouldn't be coming to the track that afternoon—when she spotted Nanny outside with Otto.Walking the dog a

Xavier Grayson flicked the pastry away. "And you want to bug Nanny's room just because of one pastry?"The white pastry landed at Chloe Bishop's feet. Without a word, she picked it up. "That's why I came up with this approach—because I can't find any hard evidence."After their big, public search that day, she'd expected Nanny to slip up. But then Xavier Grayson had searched the basement from top to bottom and found nothing—and now Nanny seemed completely unafraid.Xavier Grayson said, "Do you think that's a convincing argument?"The pastries that day had indeed been tainted. If Nanny was innocent, why would she put hallucinogens in them?But he showed no interest in investigating further.Chloe Bishop looked at the man before her. She thought of the terror and suffering she'd endured in that dungeon—she still hadn't gotten over it. Now, still carrying his scent on her, he wouldn't even offer her the smallest bit of compassion.They stared at each other for a long moment. Unable to hid
