The question hung in the air. Carter was ecstatic. And in his stupidity, he missed the sarcastic grin on Owen's face. Owen paused for a moment, then added sarcastically. Or even better. How about I give you my position? Carter Knight, CEO of Knight Corp. Sounds better, doesn't it? Carter's breath hitched. But not anymore. His excitement vanished. The question hung in the air. Carter was ecstatic. And in his stupidity, he missed the sarcastic grin on Owen's face. Owen paused for a moment, then added sarcastically. Or even better. How about I give you my position? Carter Knight, CEO of Knight Corp. Sounds better, doesn't it? Carter's breath hitched, his excitement vanished. An invisible weight settled on his shoulders. He craved the power. But Owen's question was laced with a cold fury. A shiver of pure fear traced its way down Carter's spine. He swallowed hard and finally dropped his gaze. I wouldn't dare. Even with his head bowed, he could feel that intense stare bu

As Isabel had expected, the anger in Natalia's expression softened. She walked over and sighed, pulling her daughter close. "Oh, you silly girl. Why are you so sensitive? Besides, Ruby has stayed away all these years precisely because she was worried about this. She never wanted to take me from you, and I could never love her more than you. Don't let your imagination run away with you." Isabel sniffled. "Really?" Natalia chuckled. "Why would I lie to you?" A watery smile broke through Isabel's tears. "Then say it. Say you love me the most." Natalia sounded a little exasperated, but she played along for the sake of peace. "All right, Mom loves you the most." Isabel's smile felt a little more genuine right up until her mother added, "But from now on

Ruby caught the look on Leo's face and instantly realized what she'd done. She scrambled to backtrack. Her heart lurched as she began to understand she was indeed describing Owen. The words froze on her tongue and pivoted midair. "And he has to be kind," she rushed on, almost tripping over herself. "Warm, someone who tells jokes, you know, a total sweetheart." Leo blinked. "A sweetheart?" That was the polar opposite of the boss. The man was a walking thundercloud, an absolute ice king. Seeing Leo's crestfallen expression, Ruby finally let out a breath she hadn't realized she was holding. Her cheeks burned. Annoyed with the puppy's leisurely pace, she bent down, scooped up Kitty, and hurried toward the exit without another word. Leo sighed. "Well. So much for the boss's chances."

Cecilia's eyes lit up. Carter's words were enough to make her excited. Mom, let's go find her. Since the incident, Cecilia had grown anxious around strangers. Carmella didn't say a word, but was secretly happy her daughter actually wanted to meet someone. She turned the wheelchair and headed toward the restrooms just as they arrived, having finished touching up her makeup. They brushed past each other. Cecilia abruptly twisted around, staring. What is it, dear? Carmella asked gently. Cecilia's fists clenched. A moment ago, she thought her brother had gone too far. That she didn't truly hate the person who had insulted her, but... Seeing her now, she realized just how deeply Isabel's words had cut. They had nearly shattered her will to live. Love-sick fools should just die. The words echoed again, just as they had for weeks. Back then, they had nearly crushe

Jonathan was stunned. he had never expected this woman to talk back to him. His original plan was simply to delay her delivery and hit her with some penalty for it. But now he was going for the kill. For a massive, multigenerational conglomerate like the Cabots, crushing Ruby's small company would be laughably easy. "You've dug your own grave." Jonathan's frosty voice echoed through the grand hall. Ruby stared back at him, ice in her eyes, but inside she was completely baffled. In the hospital, he'd been so polite. So gentle. She wondered why he was suddenly turning on her like this. And she wondered if this guy really thought he could disrupt her business. She let out a cold laugh, ready with a retort. Right when she was about to give it back to him, Owen's chilly voice cut through the tension. "I don't think Mr. Cabot has that kind of p
