As for Gwen Grayson—she flashed Tayne Marsh a carefree smile, as if to say she didn't mind that he'd lied to her.She'd worked so hard to get close to him. She didn't want this to push them apart. So she forced that easygoing smile onto her face, telling him with her eyes: It's okay. I don't mind. Not one bit."A—""Liam, I'm over here!"Before Gwen Grayson could finish, Ava Adam's clear, sweet voice cut her off.And so Gwen Grayson watched Tayne Marsh walk away from her without hesitation—straight to Ava Adam."Tayne Marsh!"Jade shot to his feet, furious. He couldn't stand the way Tayne Marsh treated Gwen Grayson. If he didn't love her, why did he keep stringing her along?Tayne Marsh stopped and turned to look at Jade, who was pointing at him accusingly."Jade."Gwen Grayson swallowed the bitterness in her chest and shook her head at him.Jade looked at her pleading face, swallowed his rage, withdrew his hand, and sank back onto the couch.Tayne Marsh, however, completely ignored Ja

"Noah, let's talk outside."With that, Maya Bronx reached her hand out to him.But Noah stepped back. His eyes were heavy with pain as he looked at her. "Is it really that hard to admit you're my girlfriend?"Maya Bronx stood frozen in place, staring back at him with reproach. Everyone was pushing her—even he had to pressure her at a time like this?Noah's eyes were bloodshot as he looked at her silence. "Say something! Tell them what we really are."He'd been working so hard lately, trying to convince his parents to accept her again.After her miscarriage, he'd stayed by her side, comforting her, indulging her.She'd called him useless, called him a failure—and he'd taken it, thinking it would help her vent her frustrations and make her feel better.But now she was publicly distancing herself from him. Was he really that embarrassing to her?Only now did Noah realize—she'd always looked down on him. She'd always kept her options open. What did she even think of him?After a long silen

"For months you've been chasing me, and I've never said yes. I didn't expect you to hold a grudge and team up with Gwen Grayson to ruin my reputation. You thought you could pressure me into submission with these dirty tricks—but I'm telling you, it's not going to work."Maya Bronx pointed accusingly at Noah, her voice seething. "I'll tell you right here, in front of everyone, Noah—I don't want you. Give up on me once and for all!"Noah looked as though he'd been struck by lightning. He stared at her in disbelief—unable to process the words coming out of her mouth. "What did you say?"He might have anticipated her denying their relationship, but he never expected her to turn around and accuse him of scheming against her.Maya Bronx knew that at this point, if she didn't fight back hard, she'd never clear her name. Since she'd chosen to deny everything, she had to go all the way.So she lifted her chin and declared, "I said we have nothing between us. I'm rejecting you because—Noah—you'r

By then, Nadia, who'd been quietly crying all along, couldn't hold back anymore. "Gwen Grayson, you humiliated me earlier, and even now that your lies have been exposed, you still won't admit you're wrong. You're still this arrogant and overbearing—you've gone too far!"As she spoke, she clung tightly to Nicholas Taylor's arm, like a frightened yet indignant little fawn.Nicholas Taylor's heart ached for her—after all, the trouble she'd endured had been because of him. He shot a sharp look at Gwen Grayson. "Apologize. Now."Gwen Grayson let out a cold laugh. "Apologize? To who, exactly?"Ava Adam snapped, "Gwen Grayson, don't play dumb. You know exactly who you slandered and who you humiliated."Freya said, "Gwen Grayson, looks like you came here to cause trouble tonight, not to have fun. Apologize to Maya Bronx and Nadia right now."Sierra, Maya Bronx's best friend, was furious. "Gwen Grayson, you went way too far. Apologize to Maya!"One by one, they demanded she apologize. Even some

Gwen Grayson gave an "Oh" and immediately stepped back from him.Tim watched the petite Gwen Grayson and found her amusingly quirky—rather endearing.Maya Bronx stared at Chloe Bishop, who had stolen the spotlight the moment she walked in. Jealousy, hatred, and a flicker of delight warred in her chest. She couldn't believe Chloe Bishop still dared to show her face in public—it seemed she hadn't had enough humiliation yet.And she'd come with Seth Rollins too. Did she have no idea that everyone was already talking about the two of them?Maya Bronx was thrilled. Her chance to get even had finally arrived."Chloe Bishop—you again."It was Nicholas Taylor's voice.Chloe Bishop turned to look at him. His face was dark with anger, glaring at her as if—from the moment she appeared—he'd pinned all the earlier unpleasantness squarely on her shoulders.You again.Those three words said it all.Chloe Bishop lifted the corner of her lips at him. "It's me. Long-time no see, President Taylor. I trus

Nicholas Taylor's voice rang out again, thunderous and final. "Gwen Grayson—this is your last chance."Gwen Grayson didn't want to drag anyone else into this. She pulled Chloe Bishop aside, who'd been standing in front of her, and shot Nicholas Taylor a look of pure contempt. "Go ahead. Try me."Did Nicholas Taylor really think Hilux Group was a pushover he could crush at will?At this point, Chloe Bishop had to step forward and back Gwen Grayson up. "Well said. Bishop Villa stands with Hilux."Gwen Grayson and Chloe Bishop shared the same low opinion of Nicholas Taylor. Ever since his divorce from Nora Fatehi, he'd become even more insufferable.Before, he'd been blind. Now he was just plain stupid.Nicholas Taylor let out a cold laugh, his gaze shifting to Chloe Bishop. "Bishop Villa? Are you sure you're even in a position to make that call?"He was mocking her precarious situation—how dare she, in her current state, try to shield Gwen Grayson?Seth Rollins spoke up. "They say a true

Nicholas Taylor's head snapped toward the doorway—and there was Xavier Grayson, stepping in one leisurely stride at a time, like a tiger strolling through his own backyard.At that moment, Gwen Grayson was so moved she could have cried. "Cousin!"Hmph. Who said she didn't have a powerful family backing her up?Did Nicholas Taylor really think she had no one to turn to?Xavier Grayson gave a slight nod to his distant cousin—barely related by blood—then swept his gaze across the room. His eyes landed on Chloe Bishop and lingered for about two seconds before shooting a sharp look at Tim.Tim rubbed his nose. The moment Xavier Grayson sat down beside him, his survival instinct kicked in and he quickly explained, "I got set up by Caesor."Tim shamelessly shifted the blame.Xavier Grayson paid his excuse no mind. His gaze settled on the stunned Nicholas Taylor, and a faint smile curved his thin lips—a smile that held more threat than warmth. "President Taylor, please—continue."Everyone star

It was Caesor.He stepped in, scanned the room, and his gaze landed on Chloe Bishop. "She was worried, so I took the liberty of coming over."Chloe Bishop was speechless.You really didn't need to explain that to me.He said he'd come on his own initiative, but Chloe Bishop could see in his expression that he felt perfectly justified in doing so.After saying that to Chloe Bishop, Caesor walked over to Tim and Xavier Grayson. He looked at Xavier Grayson in surprise. "How did you—"Why was Xavier Grayson here too?Quick-witted Tim immediately cut him off. "What took you so long? I've been waiting forever. I thought I walked into the wrong room!"Caesor shot him a look, then turned to Xavier Grayson. "Want to switch rooms?"Xavier Grayson didn't answer. His eagle-sharp eyes fixed on Nicholas Taylor. "President Taylor, cat got your tongue? You were just saying—who exactly was supposed to be on their knees begging for mercy within a week?"Caesor's gaze followed Xavier Grayson's. Behind hi

But back then, how could something like this have ever happened?A man like Nicholas Taylor wasn't worth Sister Nora's lingering feelings."Miss Bronx."Now that Nicholas Taylor was dealt with, Gwen Grayson turned her smiling gaze to Maya Bronx. She hadn't forgotten the task Chloe Bishop had given her. "What were you saying earlier? Something about me not getting out of here unless I apologized to you?"Maya Bronx's expression flickered. She glanced warily in Xavier Grayson's direction. At this point, how could she possibly expect Gwen Grayson to apologize?She and Noah—Chloe Bishop and Xavier Grayson knew all too well. How could she argue with Gwen Grayson now?She'd never expected Gwen Grayson and Xavier Grayson to be related, even if distantly."Gwen Grayson, know when to stop. Don't go too far."It wasn't Maya Bronx who spoke, but the icy-faced Ava Adam.Tayne Marsh watched Gwen Grayson hounding Maya Bronx with growing distaste, but he still wasn't about to get dragged into a squab

"No wonder Gwen Grayson said she couldn't stand watching. Maya Bronx's been keeping Noah as a backup all along. She brought this on herself.""Noah is from the Grayson family—he's always been close with Xavier Grayson. Just his annual dividends alone are probably more than she'll ever see. And she says he's not good enough for her? Look at her own situation first."Voices of indignation filled the room one after another.The photos eventually made their way to Shawn Marsh. He was so furious that he hurled them at Maya Bronx. "I've never seen a woman as shameless as you! You say Noah isn't good enough for you? I think you're the one who's not good enough for him!"The photos landed right in front of Maya Bronx. In them, Noah was carrying her out of a car, panic written all over his face as he rushed toward the hospital—both of them covered in blood.At this point, what was left for Maya Bronx to argue?The evidence was right there. The bystanders who'd been fooled into sympathizing with
