I sighed, staring at him, whining like a baby.I didn't doubt his words, but did he have to put himself in danger just to make me come back?It's no wonder the investigation about who might have a hand in his attack led to a dead-end.“It’s okay. Stand up.”“Big Sis, are you serious?” He shot to his feet, staring at me hopefully. “Does that mean that you've forgiven me?”I folded my arms.“But I’m still managing the company for only three months.”When I said that, disappointment crossed his face and he hung his head.“Come on, Big Sis. Do you want to see me die in that corporate prison? I’m not cut out for managing a cooperation. My dream is to travel around the world with pretty women.”So he'd tricked me into that position.He was never planning to come back.“Fine.” I brought out my phone. “I’ll tell Grandpa…”“Big Sis, please don't!” He held my hand. “If you tell that old man, he's gonna skin me alive and freeze all my accounts! Come on, Sis, aren't I your favorite little bro any

In the evening,I returned to the hospital after a long day of handing over Camille to the authorities and providing evidence to prove my innocence against her allegations.When I stepped inside the VIP Ward, I found Tania sitting in the same spot I’d left her. But she was no longer holding the teddy bear.In fact, the teddy bear had seemingly been tossed across the room and was now lying face down in a corner,While Tania’s deep focus was on the phone in her hand.Whether she noticed my presence or not, I couldn't tell.Her brows were drawn together in a deep frown, her eyes dancing with fury.“The heck is wrong with these guys? The truth is obvious! Do these netizens have sense or what!?”I walked forward, dropped the fruit basket I'd brought, and sat on the chair beside the bed. “What’s the matter?”“This!” She showed me the screen. “I just found out online that you got Camille arrested, which serves her right. But someone made a lousy post and exaggerated everything. They failed

Annalise’s POVThree Days LaterI sat behind my desk, absently scrolling through the World Designer's Forum on the tablet resting in my hands.A newly pinned announcement occupied the top of the page.[The second round of the Crown Collection Challenge will officially close in three days. All submitted designs are currently under review. The list of designers advancing to the third round will be announced after the evaluation process concludes.]My thumb stopped moving.Three days.The comment section was already exploding.“The first round eliminated over ten thousand participants. Out of the remaining 1,532 designers, how many do you think will survive this round?”Replies poured in beneath it.“Does anyone remember how many contestants reached the third round last time?”“Only two.”The reply instantly gathered hundreds of reactions.“Which means 1,530 people are probably getting eliminated.”“This competition is absolutely brutal.”Another comment quickly climbed to the top.“Is t

No way.My fists clenched almost instinctively, and I grabbed a shawl from the closet and hurried out of the room.Downstairs,Tania and the guy were still arguing and they both looked frustrated.“Ms. Nelson, you don't understand—”“Understand what? What I'm trying hard not to believe is whether Andrew Hale is stingy and doesn't stick to his promises!”“I would watch the way I speak, Young Lady. You bought a house from Mr. Hale’s card. You bought a card, and spent a lot of money on lavish gifts and expensive meals. Mr. Hale was generous enough with you.”“Well, this card stays with me for the rest of the week.”“Unless you would want to go back to the hospital and spend the rest of the week there, I am afraid I would have to take the card from you, Ms. Nelson.”“Mister,” I interrupted them, my breathing rapid. “Can you take me to where he lives?”Tania and the guy turned to me.“Who?”“Who?”“Andrew Hale,” I murmured, the uttering of that name somehow bitter in my mouth.Instantly, t

Andrew’s POV Ten years ago..? Ten years ago, she made me a promise she hasn't kept to this day.Why was she twisting facts?Why did she assume that I wanted to have nothing to do with her, when every decision I’d made that night concerned both of our futures.Ten years ago, I didn't abandon her. She left on her own.And now the brutal accusation.She thought I was only after her status. What a lame excuse.Had she forgotten the moments we shared?The blissful ones… the sad but bittersweet ones.Was she capable of tossing everything out the window and then wrapping it up with a baseless accusation?Was she even the Annalise I knew?For ten years, I’d waited… patiently. I'd been patient enough to tolerate the disrespect of watching her live with another man.For ten years, I thought letting her be on her own terms was the best idea, believing that she'd eventually return to her senses and come back to me.For ten years, I'd held on to a promise she'd already let go of.However, my pat
