“This is your workstation. These files all need to be archived before you leave today!”Kevin Watson impatiently dropped a stack of files onto Mercy’s desk.Since the new company had been established, this was Mercy’s first time showing up.Unlike at Cooper Aesthetics, none of the employees here knew Mercy, so naturally, none of them knew she was Joshua’s wife.Kevin, for instance, assumed Mercy was simply a records clerk newly hired by Human Resources.She had barely arrived when they handed her a pile of tedious work, but Mercy simply sat down and began sorting through it methodically.Before noon, she had already finished all the work she had been given.With the rest of her time, she reviewed the new company’s current projects and plans.“It would be strange if this company managed to go public.”Mercy pressed a hand to her forehead.“Even a records clerk’s job is enough to give you a headache?”Mercy turned toward the voice and saw Wendy striding over arrogantly, with Kevin traili

Mercy looked at him in confusion. She was just about to ask whether this had been Gavin’s arrangement when he answered her unspoken question.“This was Mr. Shaw’s instruction.”“Mr. Shaw?”Mercy was surprised.Beside her, Joshua’s expression changed instantly.It was this Mr. Shaw again.And so, right before Joshua and Wendy’s eyes, the senior organizer personally escorted Mercy to the center of the stage and arranged for her to sit in the most prominent seat.Quite a few guests noticed the seating arrangement and could not help looking at Mercy twice.Wendy was furious.What gave Mercy the right?!But when she remembered that her and Joshua’s seats were in the VIP section, not far from the stage, her resentment gradually eased.“I’m sorry, ma’am, but you can’t sit here.”The moment Wendy took her seat in the VIP section, a staff member came over to ask her to leave.“What?”Wendy shot to her feet in anger.“Why can’t I sit here? I have an invitation.”As she spoke, she nudged Joshua w

Logan looked at the screen full of women’s gowns and glittering jewelry, then glanced at Caleb and asked quietly, “Caleb, I never knew you had a thing for this.”Caleb did not even raise his eyes. He simply smacked Logan on the head with his tablet.Logan covered his forehead, looking aggrieved.The symposium had already been underway for an hour and a half, and Caleb spent most of that time selecting gowns and jewelry. He not only examined the designs and pairings, but also reviewed the fabric composition of every gown and the authentication reports for every piece of jewelry.“Caleb, are you choosing an evening gown or developing a miracle drug? Do you really have to be this careful?”Caleb ignored Logan. His white silk-gloved hand opened the fabric analysis report for the next luxury gown.The symposium did not end until eight that evening.The guests gradually left the conference hall and, under the staff’s direction, headed to the dressing rooms to change into formal attire for

Daniel paused in surprise, and several people in the crowd let out startled murmurs.But Wendy was the most shocked of all.Joshua and Mercy had not married in secret, but neither had they announced it to the world.At the very least, Joshua never publicly claimed Mercy as his wife so openly before.In the VIP lounge, Caleb watched the large screen.It displayed a live feed from the banquet hall.The moment Joshua put his arm around Mercy’s shoulders, Caleb crushed the wineglass in his hand with a sharp crack.Logan fanned the air beside him, nearly choking on the jealousy.“Caleb, what’s the point of sulking here? Just go tell Miss Park how you feel!”“Who said I’m sulking?”Caleb refused to admit it. Logan cast a sympathetic glance at the shattered wineglass.“Besides…”Caleb’s lips parted slightly.He seemed to want to say something, but stopped himself.His white silk-gloved right hand curled into a fist, his fingers lightly brushing against the fabric.It was not time yet…In the

“Daddy!”Joshua’s body went rigid.He instinctively looked at Mercy.Mercy was looking at him too.She saw the color drain from his face.“It seems Yuna misses her father.”Mercy spoke with a sympathetic expression.When Joshua saw that Mercy did not seem to have noticed anything suspicious, he secretly let out a breath.“Yuna, don’t call me that. I’m your uncle.”Yuna, who had been sobbing hysterically in Joshua’s arms only moments ago, suddenly fell silent.After a while, she lifted her tear-streaked face.“I’m sorry, Uncle Joshua. I just miss my daddy…”As she spoke, tears welled in her large, watery eyes again.Joshua’s heart ached for her. He immediately picked Yuna up.“Yuna, where’s your mom?”Wendy should have been home long ago by now.“Mommy… Mommy left…”“She left?”“Mommy said she doesn’t want me anymore…”Yuna started crying again, leaving Joshua anxious and distraught.He comforted Yuna as he pulled out his phone to call Wendy, but before he could make the call, Noah call
