Claire had just reached the lounge when Rachel rushed over and hugged her excitedly. “We pulled off the most important part of today’s event perfectly. I can finally breathe again. Everything else will be a piece of cake for you.”“I won’t let you down.” Claire forced a smile. She was already sick, and the high-pressure, intensive simultaneous interpreting had left her head feeling even heavier. Her throat was also dry and painfully raw.Rachel remained as energetic as ever. “There’s a banquet tonight, but I still have work to finish, so I won’t be able to keep you company.”Claire waved her off. “Go take care of your work. I can look after myself.”Several striking men had gathered in a corner of the banquet hall. The man sitting at the far end of the sofa lounged lazily with his body leaning back, a faint trace of drunkenness in his posture.Even though he was seated in an inconspicuous shadowed corner, he still attracted plenty of covert glances from across the room.Marcus carri

When Eustace placed the back of his hand against Claire’s forehead, he realized that she was burning with fever. He immediately stood up and called Evan.“Mommy…” Mint held Claire’s hand, his eyes brimming with tears.Eustace ended the call and noticed the little boy beside him, worried and trying hard not to cry. He looked like a little adult, making the sight both heartbreaking and amusing.“Handsome mister… Mommy…”“Don’t worry, little one.” Eustace stroked Mint’s fluffy hair and comforted him. “Your mommy only has a fever. I’ll take good care of her.”As he spoke, he lifted Claire into his arms and carefully carried her to the bed. He gently wiped away the beads of sweat on her forehead.Evan arrived at the right moment with fever medication and the other medicines.Mint sat obediently nearby and waited until he had finally calmed himself and stopped crying. “Handsome mister, why hasn’t Mommy woken up after taking her medicine?”Eustace pulled Mint into his arms. His voice was gen

Claire stood in a daze, looking at the life she had always wanted as though it were an illusion.“Claire! You’re here!”Caleb spotted Claire first and waved her over.The two figures who had been sitting together turned their heads in perfect unison.“Mommy!” Mint still had sand clinging to his hands, but he was already running toward Claire.Claire’s eyes instinctively fell on Eustace’s face. Their gazes met, and the image of the gentle, patient Eustace from the night before suddenly surfaced in her mind. Could that really have been him?But Eustace clearly had not forgiven her. She saw the warmth in his eyes turn cold in an instant.“Claire, we happened to be passing by and saw Mint alone in the reading room. We were worried about leaving him there by himself, so we brought him out to play. With several of us here, we can all keep an eye on him.” Caleb pointed toward the other two men nearby.One of them was Marcus. The other seemed to be the friendly man who greeted her at the Gold

The family had never made Emily’s name, appearance, or personal details public. She spent most of her life abroad. That was why only the family’s closest friends knew the Blake heiress’s identity.Although Emily rarely returned home, she fell for Eustace the moment she saw him at a family gathering. She held back when he was engaged, but now that the engagement was over, she pursued him relentlessly. Even Owen could do nothing about it.“Eustace, you’re drunk.”Emily tried to take the glass from his hand, but one look from him stopped her.She clearly saw the severity and disgust in his eyes. Eustace was usually cold toward her, but he had never looked at her like this before. She nervously took a step back.“Eustace…” Emily spoke again, her voice timid.Eustace did not look at her again. He simply stood up and walked in another direction.Marcus had been quietly observing the situation. The moment he saw Eustace leave, he called after him, “Where are you going?”“The restroom.” His

The moment Eustace returned to Dyer Group, Nora came looking for him.Everyone fell silent and buried themselves in their work, afraid that the heated argument coming from the CEO’s office would somehow drag them into trouble.“Eustace, I told you that I know exactly what Tyler is like. He had no idea I was the Sterling heiress when he met me. He’s an honest, hardworking man, so why are you trying to destroy him?“What right do you have to do this? Did you take this position just so you could bully people weaker than you?” Nora’s eyes were red, and her trembling finger pointed toward the CEO’s chair.Eustace remained seated on the black sofa nearby, his legs crossed casually. His cold, indifferent expression stood in sharp contrast to Nora’s flushed face and furious tirade.“Nora, understand this. If Tyler were truly innocent, nothing I’ve done would affect him.” Eustace spoke calmly and evenly, as though he were discussing an ordinary work matter.His composure only made Nora even mo
