All Chapters of Dropped for a Charity Case: Chapter 11 - Chapter 17

Ezra was so terrified that he stumbled over his words, yet he still denied it. Misty merely stared at him coldly without saying a single word. Ezra's eyes were bloodshot as he cautiously took her hand, his expression one of innocence. "I seriously didn't order anyone to burn Caelan's parents' belongings, Misty…"In the past, her heart would've ached for him, and she'd pull him into her arms. This time, however, she slowly withdrew her hand and said coldly, "Whether it was your doing or not, I'll investigate the whole matter thoroughly." The moment he saw the chill in her eyes, he shuddered. He lowered his gaze to hide his guilt and unease. He didn't dare reveal anything that might give him away. All he could do was force a smile. "Misty, before you look into it, can you at least find a way to bail my parents out? They're old. I'm afraid…"Misty sounded puzzled. "Why would I do that? Aren't their names clearly written on the purchase invoice?" Ezra instantly panicked and blurt

"Misty!" Caelan jolted awake. It took him a moment to register the fluorescent lights above him and the office computer in front of him before he realized that he had been in Meridiana for almost two weeks.Even though he had promised himself he would forget Misty for good, he had dreamed about her again during his lunch break that day. Her head was covered in blood, and she was unconscious. He closed his eyes, drew in a deep breath, and slowly exhaled. At long last, he managed to calm his racing heart. "Did you have a nightmare?" A woman's light chuckle sounded from the door. Caelan looked up, only to see Vivian Lovelace leaning against the doorframe in a fitted bodycon mini dress. Her head was tilted as she smiled at him. Her captivating, fox-like eyes were filled with mischief as she asked, "So even our hardworking Mr. Hanson has a day when he gets so exhausted that he has to sneak in a little nap?"He felt his face burn under her gaze, and he retorted, "Sneak in? I'm taking

The biggest news in all of Meridiana lately was that the Lovelace family—the undisputed head of the four great families—was about to hold a wedding! The bride was none other than the heiress of the Lovelace family, the woman who had miraculously survived a kidnapping at the age of seven and had kept men at arm's length for the 16 years that followed. For nearly a fortnight, the media across Meridiana had been digging into every detail about the groom. Yet, apart from the fact that he was a man, virtually all information about him was inaccessible. For a moment, the entire elite social circle was dying to know more about the future head of the Lovelace family. …At last, the day of the wedding was upon them. Luxury cars filled the grounds outside the extravagant castle, alongside reporters from various newspapers and television stations. The sprawling lawn had been planted in advance with acres of Vendela roses, symbolizing "I have eyes for no one but you"."I heard... the heiress

A month later, Caelan was lying on the beach, soaking up the sun. Vivian, who was beside him, was applying sunscreen to his skin. Her expression was particularly sour as she glared at Misty, who was standing not far away, and gritted her teeth. "That shameless old hag's always attempting to steal my husband and play the mistress!"Caelan was already used to her endless grumbling. He rolled over with his eyes closed and responded half-heartedly, "You're my wife, and you're the one with the legal title. Why are you bothering yourself with her?'His words instantly soothed Vivian's ruffled feathers. She happily trotted off to get him some freshly sliced fruit. The very next second, he received another message from Misty. "There's a gala at the hotel tonight. I brought a set of cufflinks that go perfectly with the suit you had custom-made a few days ago."Caelan didn't respond. He merely rose to his feet and walked straight into the hotel. Not long after he returned to his suite,
