"What happened?" Camila asked nervously. She was worried the Carter family would really drive them away since Noah sounded so angry on the phone."It's nothing," Ivy replied softly. She did not tell the truth because she did not want to hear her mother's annoying complaints. "They gave me a chance to sign a contract with Lumira Enterprise."Camila's face brightened. "Really? Doesn't that mean they've accepted us?"Ivy let out a rough sigh. Her mother was really naïve. Did she really think that getting a task meant the Carter family would accept them back? If Camila knew Ivy would be fired if she failed, she'd probably blame Lily again, like always. That's why Ivy chose not to say anything more.The next morning the sound of typing filled the living room. Callen walked out of Lily's room and saw Ivy still focused on her laptop. She'd stayed up all night working on the proposal she would present to Lumira Enterprise."You've been working since last night. Why don't you take a short brea

The moment Lily's voice echoed, surprise filled the quiet hospital room."Grandpa!" she shouted, her little chair screeching as she pushed it closer to the bed. "You're really awake? Can you hear me?" Her eyes were wide with hope.William's eyelids were open, yet the light of awareness was missing. His gaze remained empty, staring at nothing.Across the bed, Callen's arm trembled as he tried channeling more life energy. A sudden force pushed his hand away, breaking the flow. The faint light in William's eyes dimmed once more as his lids slowly shut.Callen stared at his palm, still shaking, then clenched it hard. 'The death aura is too strong. This isn't something that can be healed with ordinary means. Whoever did this… isn't just anyone!'Disappointment spread across Lily's face. Shoulders slumping, she thought that if her grandpa had truly awakened, her mother would've smiled again. Maybe then, those nights of secret tears while staring at the framed photo would finally end.Curios

Determination lit Lily's small face as she walked toward the girl."Do it!" Callen mouthed, giving her a slight nod.Bella turned when someone tugged at her sleeve. A smug smile sat on her face as she saw the poor little girl whom she had hit earlier. The bear she'd grabbed was held high like a prize. "What do you want?" Bella sneered. "Still upset about my hit?"Wealth had spoiled Bella since birth. Her mother always gave her whatever she wanted, so arrogance came easily to her.Anger rose in Lily. "Apologize to me!"More laughter came from Bella. "Why should I do that to a poor person?" she jeered.A flash of fury crossed Lily's face. She kicked Bella's shin hard. Bella screamed and dropped the bear, clutching her knee. Tears came as she hopped on one foot.Before Bella could finish her angry words, Lily's small fist connected with her cheek. A red mark bloomed there.Shock widened Bella's eyes. Her breath came quick. She turned, ready to shout more insults, but another punch hit h

Hearing Lois' name stunned Mila. A prominent business figure had shown respect to Callen. People started to whisper that Callen had strong connections.Although the Brooks family was not among the elite families in Avenfall, ever since her husband became a management consultant at Lumira Enterprise, they had slowly built influence in the city. Sooner or later, their family would surely join the ranks of the elites.She met Lois at a socialite women's event and pretended to be close to her. However, it is clear that Lois never really cared about her, as evidenced by the fact that she never gave her a gift at any point in time. That's why Mila was so shocked when John arrived, only to realize he was not there to help her.Callen, who did not know the man, asked, "Who are you?"His response shocked everyone since John was one of the well-known people. But John reacted with a polite bow."Allow me to introduce myself. I'm John Mason, the CEO of this mall. I was instructed by my boss, Lois

Before going inside, Callen crouched and spoke to his daughter. "Lily, I want you to keep what happened at the mall a secret from your mom."She tilted her head. "Why? You were so cool, Dad. If Mom knew, maybe she'd be nice to you!"His heart softened. That simple care from his daughter felt better than his first victory on the battlefield."Dad wants to keep it from her for now. Besides, even if I told her, she would not believe it. When the time's right, I'll tell her."His explanation made Lily nod. "Alright, it'll be our secret."She raised her pinky, and he hooked his finger with hers.Right then, the door opened. Ivy stood with her arms crossed. "What's this? You two are keeping secrets from me? Tell Mom too!" she said to Lily with a pout.Lily made a zipper motion across her lips.Ivy's mouth puckered. She crouched. "Say it, or I'll tickle you."A hard shake of the head only made Ivy reach for that tiny waist. The tickling went on until Lily burst into helpless laughter."It's

Bella burst into loud sobs. At home, she'd been scolded harshly by the mother who usually took her side."I told you to apologize, not cry," Mila hissed under her breath."Wait. What exactly happened?" Ivy finally spoke up, still lost about what was going on.Nervous, Mila twisted her fingers and kept stealing glances at Callen and Lily. "Well… sir," she said as she edged closer to Callen, "please forgive my bad behavior this afternoon. I didn't know that you—""So if I were a nobody, you'd have kept bullying my daughter? You even tried to hit her with that cheap bag of yours," Callen cut in sharply.He almost laughed to himself. On the way home, he'd already ordered his men to fire Sean, Mila's husband. Now that he'd shown his power, this woman wanted to apologize? He was sure she was crying only because she'd lost her status.His words made Ivy's heart sink. She turned to Lily and hurried over. "Lily, where does it hurt? How many times did that woman hit you?" she asked, checking he

Right now, Callen still wanted to keep his identity hidden. So he lied, "When I proved Lily didn't start the fight, someone recorded it. I gave that recording to the boss of that woman's husband. As you are aware, Lumira Enterprise places a high value on its image. And that woman used her husband's name to abuse her power. If that news were to spread, it would harm the company's reputation. So, her husband got fired."Ivy nodded slightly. "Thank you for protecting Lily today," she said, still feeling awkward about treating him kindly.Bang!Their attention turned to the front door. Camila stood there, swaying. She had come home drunk."Mom, where have you been all day?" Ivy asked, helping her mother walk to her room.Even though Camila sometimes treated her harshly, Ivy still tried not to harbor hatred towards her. After all, she'd been kind in the past. Five years ago, she never would've imagined her mother changing this much."Why are you asking? This is all your fault!" Camila snap

Ivy stayed silent through all the insults, her mind drifting back to what had happened ten minutes earlier. She walked into the interview room nervously.The board of directors sat around a long U-shaped table, their eyes watching her closely. They compared her face to a small photo that the new company owner had sent them. After a moment, they exchanged glances and nodded in unison."Please introduce yourself briefly," Tommy said, gesturing for her to begin."I'm Ivy Carter, representing Carter Atelier to present our proposal," she said politely.Pressing the earpiece in his ear, Tommy whispered, "Sir, should I sign her proposal right away?"Callen, who heard the question, clicked his tongue. "My wife practiced so hard for today's presentation. Are you trying to make all her effort go to waste?" he snapped.Currently, Callen was in the CEO's office at Lumira Enterprise, watching Ivy through the CCTV. Even earlier, while she was in the waiting area, he had noticed her struggling and s

"It's impossible for Ivy to get that partnership," Ava denied. She crossed her arms tightly, trying to convince herself that what she heard could not be true. "There must be a mistake in the announcement!"Florence nodded in agreement. "It seems the company made a mistake when we sent two representatives. I'm sure it's Steve who got accepted because he's my most outstanding grandson!"Meanwhile, Steve had been standing in front of the Carter residence for twenty minutes. He hesitated to go inside after failing to secure the contract with Lumira Enterprise.He did not know how his grandmother and father would scold him once they found out that it was Ivy who had successfully signed the deal.After some thought, he decided to enter with a gloomy face.In the living room, Florence, Noah, and Ava were sitting together, chatting. When they noticed his presence, they greeted him warmly, rather than with anger."My grandson, I've been waiting for you! Come here!" Florence said happily.Ava c

Noah's anger eased after Steve confessed. He exhaled roughly and sat back down. He'd assumed Ivy had won the contract. Aside from Steve, only Ivy represented Carter Atelier.Still, he was surprised that Ivy had secured the contract."D-Dad, you won't tell Grandma about this, right?" Steve squeaked, scared.Noah snorted. "I've worked hard to kiss up to Mom to get the CEO position, do you think I'm going to give it up just like that?" he answered irritably.If his son had inherited even a little of his smarts, this post would've belonged to him long ago. Because Steve did not show talent in business, Florence hesitated to pass the company to him.If she knew that it was not Steve who won the contract, she'd certainly take back her words and choose Henry to inherit Carter Atelier instead.Florence had three children: William, who was still in a coma, Henry, her second son, who had moved to another city to run a branch of Carter Atelier, and Noah."Keep this secret from everyone.
