Caesor's voice carried just enough for half the room to hear. Heads turned instinctively toward Nicholas Taylor."Yes! Yes! I want Uncle Caesor to be Joy's daddy!"The little girl nodded excitedly at first, then thought of something and looked cautiously at Nora Fatehi. Her big, clear eyes were full of pleading as she gazed at her mother. "Mommy, is that okay?"In that moment, Nicholas Taylor's heart lurched. It was a bitter pill to swallow.Joy—his daughter—had just agreed to let another man be her father.Had she already forgotten she had a biological father?Nicholas Taylor's face darkened like coal. Nora Fatehi—this is how you've raised our daughter.Seeing Joy answer without a moment's hesitation, her face brimming with joy, everyone couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy for Nicholas Taylor. What a spectacular failure of a father he was.Watching the plea in her daughter's eyes, Nora Fatehi shot Caesor a furious glare. He said he'd respect her—and now he's just taken a huge li

Look at his clothes, his bearing—how could he be a nobody? And he seems close to Xavier Grayson. Everyone in that circle is filthy rich.Maybe Nora Fatehi still hasn't gotten over Nicholas Taylor?That's very possible. Before Nadia interfered, Nora Fatehi and Nicholas Taylor were known as the perfect couple.I also know they were each other's first loves. They say first loves are the hardest to forget—Nora Fatehi probably still has feelings for Nicholas Taylor. Too bad...Nora Fatehi couldn't listen to any more of it. She and Nicholas Taylor had ended things so badly that they'd both seen the ugliest sides of each other. No amount of deep affection could survive that kind of damage.She'd once felt heartbreak. She'd once been hysterical. But looking back now, she realized Nicholas Taylor had never been worth her lingering feelings.Not his character, not his family.She'd given up a bright future to marry him—she must have been blind.Perhaps out of some twisted impulse, Nicholas Taylo

When Nora Fatehi didn't answer for a long while, Caesor raised an eyebrow.Everyone looked at Nora Fatehi, torn between envy and admiration. What was there to hesitate about? No matter how the bet turned out, she'd come out ahead!Even Chloe Bishop couldn't resist poking Nora Fatehi in the soft spot of her waist and whispering, "Sister Nora, take the bet! Either way, you can't lose."Gwen Grayson, like an echo of Chloe Bishop's thoughts, nodded vigorously at Nora Fatehi, mouthing silently: Say yes! Take the bet!Nora Fatehi couldn't help but roll her eyes. "You're all underestimating Caesor."Caesor was not a generous man.Lose and give her a billion in dowry?Let her marry someone else with his money?Would Caesor really do that?Playing for stakes that high, there was no way Caesor would let himself lose. He'd resort to any means—underhanded or not—to trap her.She'd experienced his unscrupulous tactics before. Right now, she was still racking her brain over how to kick him out of he

Caesor lifted his thin lips in a faint smile, his sharp gaze cutting through his gold-rimmed glasses toward Nicholas Taylor. "It seems President Taylor has a problem with me?"At that moment, Gwen Grayson was practically vibrating with excitement. Was it happening? Was it finally happening?Tim was equally thrilled. Finally, a show—tonight wasn't a wasted trip after all.Everyone's eyes darted between Nora Fatehi and Caesor, then over to Nicholas Taylor. All that was missing was a bag of popcorn.Facing Caesor's challenge, Nicholas Taylor let out a cold snort. "And what might this gentleman's name be?"His tone was dismissive, contemptuous.Clearly, he didn't take Caesor seriously at all.Caesor smiled. "I've just returned from abroad, so it's understandable that President Taylor doesn't know me. My name is Caesor. I recently purchased one of your properties."It really was him.Nicholas Taylor's face turned icy. "Caesor? Never heard of it."Caesor raised a brow. "That's fine. I'm sure

Nora Fatehi glared at her with a mix of frustration and disappointment. That was when Chloe Bishop's sweet voice chimed in beside her ear. "Brother-in-law."Chloe, you too? Even you've been won over by Caesor!Nora Fatehi had reached her limit. "Chloe. Bishop."Is this all the backbone you people have?Selling me out this easily?Chloe Bishop turned to Nora Fatehi and said, "I think he's way better than Nicholas Taylor. And he seems like the type who really knows how to treat a woman well—something neither Xavier Grayson nor Nicholas Taylor can compete with. He's definitely going to be a total wife-doting maniac in the future."Her voice was neither too loud nor too soft, but plenty of people heard it.Caesor gave Chloe Bishop a thumbs-up. "Good eye."Nicholas Taylor's face darkened beyond measure. Nadia sat beside him, not daring to utter a word. Chloe Bishop and Gwen Grayson were clearly provoking him on purpose—and yet, he'd still taken the bait!He and Nora Fatehi were already divo

As Ava Adam's understudy, Ava Adam had always attracted plenty of attention. Now that she'd stepped into the entertainment industry, her popularity rivaled that of the newly divorced Chloe Bishop.Everyone turned to look at Ava Adam and Seth Rollins.She was cool and aloof, like a snow lotus in frost.He was tall and striking, like a high-ranking official.Standing together, they looked like a match made in heaven.Ava Adam was known for her cold pride and rarely approached anyone of her own accord. So when she walked toward Seth Rollins and invited him to sing with her, it sparked plenty of speculation—had she developed feelings for him?Gwen Grayson immediately shot a glance at Tayne Marsh. He sat on the sofa, his arrogant jaw clenched tight, his arms crossed and hands balled into fists.Clearly, he was fighting to keep his emotions in check.Gwen Grayson had always known that Ava Adam was the untouchable one in Tayne Marsh's heart.Unfortunately, she had no romantic feelings for him

Nora Fatehi said, "And that's not all. Now she's set her sights on Seth. But Seth has his eyes on you, so… in any case, you need to be careful around her. That woman's intentions are far from simple."Chloe Bishop couldn't help but notice that Nora Fatehi had cut herself off mid-sentence, as if she'd been about to say that Seth Rollins had feelings for her—the romantic kind.Xavier Grayson had hinted at the same thing before.Chloe Bishop's gaze toward Seth Rollins grew complicated. Could Brother really like her?But he'd been gone for ten years. He hadn't come back when she got engaged to Liam Martin. He hadn't shown up when her father fell ill. They'd only exchanged a brief glance at Adrian's birthday banquet, and by the time they met again, she was already married to Xavier Grayson.If he truly liked her, how could he have let so many chances slip by?At the bar counter, Seth Rollins was turning Ava Adam down. "I hear you've entered the entertainment industry and are about to releas

"Ava Adam is truly a woman of talent. In terms of presence, even Chloe Bishop can not compare.""I think it's high time New York City's top socialite title changed hands. Chloe Bishop is all hype—she can not hold a candle to Ava Adam.""I heard Ava Adam writes her own songs and compositions, and she's been taken in as a protégé by a renowned piano master. She's also incredibly gifted in painting.""Everyone knows that already. I also heard she's signed up for this year's national standard dance competition, and even Ken Marsh has praised her highly.""With all that in mind, how exactly did Chloe Bishop become top socialite in the first place? Aside from that pretty face, what else does she even have?""Did not Chloe Bishop also enter the national standard competition? And she's in Ken Marsh's team too. She made quite a stir earlier—why haven't we heard anything about her lately?"Someone snorted. "Probably because she performed so poorly that Ken Marsh realized he'd misjudged and does

When Seth Rollins heard Chloe Bishop say she wasn't getting married, he let out a light laugh and let it pass. He wanted to reply, "That's not for you to decide," but in the end, he held back.He reached out and gently teased the little girl in Chloe Bishop's arms. Joy was feeling down because Nora Fatehi had turned down Caesor, crushing her hopes—and now she was listless and unhappy.Seeing the child like this, Chloe Bishop tried every trick to cheer her up.Watching them together, Nora Fatehi couldn't help but feel that Seth Rollins and Chloe Bishop made a perfect pair. With Little Joy in her arms, they looked like a family of three.Nora Fatehi's gaze instinctively drifted toward Xavier Grayson. He sat there with a cold, unreadable expression—impossible to tell if he was pleased or annoyed.Over on the other side, Ava Adam's mood was far from good. This was the first time she had made the first move toward a man, only to have Seth Rollins reject her in front of so many people.Ava A

Caesor leaned in again. "Marry me. I'll help you get back at Nicholas Taylor and that fake, simpering woman."Nora Fatehi gritted her teeth. "Get lost!"Caesor raised an eyebrow, his deep voice dripping with seductive charm. "We're about to live together, and you're telling me to get lost? Where to—your place?"Nora Fatehi was so furious she could've blown smoke out of her nostrils. "Who's living with you? I'm warning you—if your stuff isn't out by tonight, don't blame me for what happens."Caesor had a knack for driving Nora Fatehi up the wall.Every conversation between them went in completely different directions, and she always ended up wanting to strangle him—or herself."So I beg you, don't let me leave you. Aside from you, I can't feel even a trace of affection..."As the song wound down, Nadia's voice faded. She set down the guitar and closed her eyes softly, waiting for the applause to come.Her vocal skill was no less impressive than Ava Adam's, and each had their own distinc
