Now that there was no one else in the private room, Joshua immediately began soothing Wendy in a gentle voice.“When did I ever say I wanted to be with Mercy? I was only asking what business she discussed with Mr. Larkin.”“What business could Mercy possibly discuss? She just used her looks to seduce Mr. Larkin.”Wendy grabbed Joshua’s hand and pressed it to her chest.“I’m the one helping you with business… I’ve already prepared everything Felinda asked for. Next week, I’ll send them the new data reports.“I’ll show you that what Mercy can’t accomplish, I can.”Joshua had never expected Wendy to be so capable.“Wendy, you truly are the perfect wife. Having you is the greatest blessing of my life.”Joshua’s sweet words lifted Wendy’s mood considerably.Joshua was in a good mood too.The fact that both Mercy and Wendy were jealous of each other because of him was enough to prove how exceptional he was.Outside the private room, Yuna peeked through the crack in the door. Only when she sa

Mercy was completely baffled.What did Caleb understand?Did he understand that she had deliberately handed the Felinda project at Cooper Aesthetics over to Wendy?Or did he understand that she had transferred to Joshua’s new company so she could ensure Joshua walked away with nothing when they divorced?Mercy said nothing more. She watched curiously as Caleb used the last piece of bread to wipe his bowl clean.As the daughter of Park Pharmaceuticals’ owner, Mercy grew up around people who were either wealthy or powerful.Extravagance and wastefulness were practically a way of life for them.She did not know much about Caleb’s background, but judging by his clothes, bearing, and manner of speaking, he must have come from a well-off family.Otherwise, he could not have pulled strings to get into Felinda.Yet Caleb had finished every last drop of broth.“What is it?”Caleb noticed Mercy watching him and asked softly.“Nothing.”Mercy shook her head.“Are you full? We can order more if yo

“Isn’t she from the Cooper Health Center?”Bianca was not interested in gossip at first, but the moment she heard "Cooper Health Center," she turned toward the restaurant. At a glance, she spotted Mercy eating with Daniel.“How is it her…?”Bianca was stunned.She watched Daniel refill Mercy’s glass, cut her steak for her, and cater to her every need.The thought that Mercy could enjoy such an extravagant meal here while she was reduced to running errands and traveling all this way to buy limited-edition macarons for Joshua made Bianca feel deeply resentful.She took out her phone and snapped a series of photos of Mercy and Daniel.After returning to Cooper Aesthetics, Bianca was stopped by Wendy.“What are you holding, Miss Lane?”“They’re the Imperial Grand Hotel’s limited-edition rainbow macarons.”A faint smile tugged at Wendy’s lips after Bianca explained.“Just give them to me.”She took the macarons from Bianca so quickly that it looked more like she had snatched them away.The

“What are you talking about? What does that have to do with anything?”“If you don’t love her, why won’t you divorce her?”“Wendy, I told you already. My family’s business needs her…”“Business, business! That’s all you ever care about! What about me?!”Wendy turned away in anger, her shoulders trembling as she cried. Joshua could only sigh in exasperation.“Okay, okay. Stop crying…”He gently held Wendy by the shoulders.Making a scene in a seven-star hotel like this would invite gossip, not to mention make them look bad.“Come on. I’ll take you up to the third floor. Whatever you want, I’ll buy it for you.”The Imperial Grand Hotel was unlike an ordinary hotel. It was practically an attraction in itself, with an entire floor of luxury boutiques on the third level, as well as a rooftop garden and sightseeing boats above.Joshua’s offer improved Wendy’s mood a little.She linked her arm through his and headed up to the third floor. The moment they entered a luxury boutique, they came f

Meanwhile, Logan got into his luxury car and received word from his assistant that Mercy had accepted the hair clip.“Mr. Shaw, that Miss Park is…”“It’s nothing. I’m just getting on the good side of my future sister-in-law.”The sky gradually darkened, and the city lights began to glow.Wendy had originally planned to have Joshua take her shopping, then go up to the rooftop for a cruise, watch the light show, and enjoy a romantic candlelit dinner in the observation garden.But after the hair clip incident, she was no longer in the mood for any of it.As Mercy stepped out of the elevator, she could not resist sending Caleb a message.Mercy: “Was that from you?”After a while, Caleb replied.Caleb: “???”Mercy: “???”Mercy, Joshua, and Wendy left the Imperial Grand Hotel one after another.Then Mercy’s phone suddenly rang.The caller ID showed Evelyn, her mother-in-law.Mercy frowned, a bad feeling rising in her chest.“Hello? Mom…”The moment Joshua heard Mercy answer the phone, he sto
