The power balance in the high-stakes game of Haicheng’s elite continues to shift. While Julian Thorne uses parental longing as a weapon to reclaim Sarah Vance, Donovan Tang is discovering that the "little sister" he left behind ten years ago has grown into a woman capable of gambling with the city's most dangerous racers."Yes, we’re out having dinner. Do you want to join us?"Julian Thorne spoke with a calm, composed air, showing not a shred of guilt for having essentially kidnapped another woman's daughter. He was so matter-of-fact about it that his audacity bordered on the clinical."I told you—you are not allowed to go near Maddy again!"On the other end of the line, Sarah Vance was vibrating with fury. Every time she reached her breaking point, Julian met her with a maddening indifference that left her teeth aching with suppressed rage.Julian’s lips curled into a smirk. He could easily imagine Sarah’s face flushed red with anger, a vision that significantly improved his mood. "D

The dinner at the Grand Imperial was winding down, leaving Chloe Bishop with a heart full of corporate triumph and a bag containing the future of her family’s legacy. But while she felt safe in the glow of Donovan Tang’s protection, the "Demon CEO" was already making his move."Sure," Donovan Tang replied with effortless charm."What kind of car do you want?" Chloe asked.As she waited for his answer, she moved with meticulous care, tucking the Thorne Group contract into her bag as if it were a fragile relic. This document was her ultimate leverage within the Bishop Group—the shield she would use to crush the dissent of the board. Given the project's massive scale, her personal commission alone would be a fortune, to say nothing of the company’s projected earnings. Compared to that, a car and a dinner were mere drops in the ocean.Donovan chuckled. "I’ll tell you when I’ve decided. For now, try the foie gras; the flavor is quite unique."Throughout the meal, Donovan was the perfect co

The cold, metallic scent of the elevator car seemed to crystallize as the final remnants of the Grayson-Bishop marriage shattered. Xavier Grayson had entered this space fueled by a primal rage, convinced that Chloe Bishop was the one who had repeatedly crossed the line, but her calm, transactional surrender had left him with a hollow, bitter victory.Xavier’s chest burned with a familiar, dark frustration. He had warned her—repeatedly—not to play games behind his back. She had chosen to believe Julian Grayson, investigating him like a common criminal. She had hidden the truth about Sissy, dragging Old Mrs. Grayson into a mess that could have permanently fractured the family's fragile peace. If Sissy hadn't been his father’s flesh and blood, the disappointment would have destroyed the Matriarch.Did she not deserve to be punished?But as he listened to Chloe’s apology—her admission that she had "meddled" and her vow never to do so again—Xavier felt an inexplicable surge of agitation. M

The air of Haicheng felt heavier after the confrontation in the garage. Chloe Bishop stood outside the restaurant, the chill of the night seeping into her bones as she watched the luxury cars pass by. Her heart was still reeling from the finality of Xavier Grayson’s "Monday at 8:00 AM" ultimatum, but the reality of her current situation forced her back to the present.Leo Thorne stood in the sterile white hallway of the hospital, staring at his phone in utter disbelief. He couldn't wrap his head around what was going on in Xavier’s mind."I don't get it. What the hell is he waiting for?" Leo muttered to the empty air.Xavier had answered his frantic question with only three cold words: "Suit yourself." Then, the line had gone dead.Originally, Xavier had intended to use the news of Liam Martin’s surgery as a bargaining chip—a hook to pull Chloe back to him, to make her plead for his help. But after the elevator confrontation, the desire for such games had evaporated. The pride of the

The political and emotional landscape of Haicheng is shifting from cold-blooded corporate maneuvers to a deadly, shadow-bound vendetta. While Chloe Bishop focuses on surviving the final hours before her divorce, Ann Lan has officially crossed the point of no return in her war against Xavier Sr.Ann Lan stood in the shadows of the hallway, her fingers trembling as she dialed a number she had memorized years ago. "Aaron, kill him. You have to kill him for me. Everything in my overseas accounts... I’ll give it all to you. Just kill him."On a windswept rooftop across the city, Aaron He stood with a heavy expression. "Madam, it isn't that I don't want to finish this. But right now, there is no opening. My wrist is still injured from the last attempt. If I fail this time, my identity will be exposed. Wait. You must be patient."Ann Lan closed her eyes, a sharp pain lancing through her chest. "But I can't wait another second. If you can't do it, I’ll find someone else.""Madam, you just reu
