And he was nothing but a man made of mistakes. Brielle felt the last shackle snap the moment the divorce was finalized. She didn’t cry. She didn’t shake. She just exhaled—like a woman surfacing after years underwater. She drove across town and pulled into the small lot behind Talia’s lab, the smell of oil and concrete grounding her. Inside, Talia looked up with a grin. “Hey, how’s the brain trust going?” “It’s free,” Brielle said, placing a small case on the counter. “I’m Brielle Elise Monroe again.”

“I’ll never forgive you.” I trembled, clutching my bag against me like a shield. The test result pressed hard against my palm inside, a secret I wasn’t ready to share—not now, not like this. “Adrian, please,” I whispered. “I just… I just wanted to see you happy.” His laugh was bitter, sharp as broken glass. “Happy? By humiliating me? Happy? With you?” “I—I only wanted to surprise you. I thought you’d be happy.” “Happy?” He gave a bitter laugh, his mouth twisted cruelly. “The only thing I felt when you walked into that building was shame.” My heart dropped.

In my previous life, after my dad heard that we were stuck on the road, he immediately mobilized over a dozen large bulldozers from his company nearby and successfully sent everyone to the exam venue in time. But not only did these people not show him any gratitude, they even spread rumors about my dad online, saying that he took a fee of $200 from each of them. Since they were so ungrateful, I naturally wasn't naive enough to ask my dad for help again. At this time, Nina suddenly declared confidently, "Don't worry, everyone, I know a shortcut. We'll definitely get there in time." Hearing that, everyone instantly relaxed, as if Nina's words had a magical power.

And everything was going perfect, the Sexy-Devil went on his lunch with Arjun while I shared my lunch with Monica with Shiva making few sudden appearances with his silly jokes that made us all laugh. "So what do you think comes after sixty-nine?" Shiva asked on one of his visit to my desk. "Shiva, just leave the poor girl alone. I think now she knows how weird your sense of humour is!" Monica said, hitting him with a balled up napkin. "Maybe, mouthwash." I replied, laughingly.

Shirley nodded with a smile, "Yes, we just arrived." Simon nodded at Tina and said, "Miss Tina, long time no see." Tina waved her hand, "Hi, Mr. Simon." Simon chuckled lightly. He looked particularly handsome when he smiled, and when he looked at someone, that person always felt pampered. Monica stood by without much presence. Shirley and Tina completely ignored her. Seeing her brother's gaze fixed on Shirley, Monica's resentment deepened. But she wasn't foolish. The last time she caused a scene, it almost got herself into big trouble.

Monica still has the guts to get cheeky even in a threatening situation like this. “You don’t say,” Caleb laughed bitterly. “At least I am a Coles. You on the other hand would be kicked out of here like a piece of unwanted waste in a blink of an eye. I pity you, Monica,” Monica’s hands trembled as she grasped Caleb’s arm, her eyes pleading with him. “Have mercy, Caleb. Think about the pain and embarrassment you’ll cause. Think about Chase’s heartbreak, his family’s disappointment… please, don’t do this to them.”

Then Monica stood up, slowly, clearing her throat. "Everyone," she said. Her voice trembled, drawing all eyes to her. "I have something I need to say." Elliot paused mid-sip of wine. "Everything alright, dear?" "I, uh… I suggested a family lunch because…" Her voice caught. She reached for a napkin, dabbing her eyes. "Because I wanted to thank you. All of you. For being such a wonderful family to me." Elliot reached out, brushing his fingers gently along her arm. "Aw, honey—"

Monica gave William a gentle shove as she separated herself from him, and started to descend the steps while hiding her shame because she knew Danielle had witnessed them in such an intimate posture. William drew his brows together and frowned at Danielle who did not know unknowingly she dissatisfy the devil. “How come you arrived here so early this morning, Danielle?" Monica inquired as she leaned over to give her a hug and said, "Merry Christmas, by the way." The previous day, she had put together so many plans, including calling Daniel and cooking the family, but every single thing went haywire. She did not know why she decided to be dumb by believing in her aunt, but she had nothing in h

Many pulled out their phones to take photos and videos. “Oh my god! Is that woman an animal from the zoo?” “That’s disgusting. Is she really eating with her hands in public?” Charles was humiliated beyond belief. He rushed forward to grab her hands. “Michelle, what are you doing? It’s filthy!” Michelle was enraged to be interrupted. She whipped her head around and bared her teeth at Charles. Then, she snatched a saucy meatball and hurled it at Charles’ newly purchased Armani jacket. “Get lost! Don’t steal my meat!”

"I am sorry we misunderstood you, silly girl... We thought that you were ashamed of us which hurt our pride. Who knows there was an underlying reason for what you did," "No problem guys, I am still at fault here," I said with a slightly broken voice that was so touched by the whole situation. We group hugged and they kept telling me stories about their past week, college break is so boring to them since they don't have enough money to go where they want. They also started working so they informed me of their work issues. I could feel tenderness and guilt in their attitude towards me. "You have it tough, girls," Shawn pointed out.
