Ethan stood frozen, fury and embarrassment warring across his face. In a matter of seconds, every eye had left him. The camera, the hosts, every ounce of attention he had hoped to command tonight. All of it flowed toward that bastard Edward. And Adriana, Edward was holding her arm. Calmly like it belonged there. Ethan's lip curled. Were they really a couple? The invitation had arrived only hours ago. At first, he had not planned on attending not after everything that had happened last night. But when the invitation came, he couldn't refuse knowing the guests were all elites. There was no way he could stay home. So he had torn through his wardrobe, tossing expensive jackets across the bed until he'd finally chosen the finest suit he hadn't worn yet. The most expensive one. well there was a slim chance Edward would come trying to prove a point, so Ethan had wanted a presence so loud so Edward would know they were not on the same class. Edward was with a wealthy woman, he Et

Mr. Tank had seen Caleb on the security camera before the guards even informed him, so he hurried downstairs because caleb's presence, meant business. Mr Caleb Gavins that he knew, hadn't come to visit in a very long time. He doesn't even visit him unless on serious matters that need to be taken care of. Without waiting for Caleb's response,"Come with me." Mr. Tank gestured before turning and walking away. There were too many eyes around. Staffs were moving round, security officers stationed at their posts pretending to focus on paperwork while quietly noticing everything and that Mr tank couldn't risk knowing how Caleb businesses were always top secrets So there was only one place safe enough for a conversation with Caleb. His private study. Mr. Tank walked down the hallway without looking back, Caleb followed behind. The sound of their footsteps echoed softly through the polished corridor. A few minutes later, they stopped outside a heavy wooden door. Bold silver le

The car’s tires screamed against the bumpy, narrow road, the sound slicing through the stillness of a town that rarely heard such noise. Ashwick wasn't built for speed or flash. It was built for healing. Tucked far away from the gleaming towers of Goldmere, this secluded place was known for housing one of the best healers in the world, and because of that, it had been buried in the kind of quiet most people would call lonely. Cars were hardly seen here, that much was obvious from the thick silence that clung to the streets. It felt like a village in some ways, peaceful and slow, except that everything around you whispered of development , modern, clean, but humble. Ashwick was occupied mostly by healers who had sworn their lives to humanity, curing ailments both common and strange. They had no time for luxury, no desire for it at all. But the flashy car came to light, disrupting the peace of Ashwick The vehicle came to a stop outside a small iron steel gate. Several security men

Jason's hand tightened on his phone as he typed out a reply 'Find out everything about them and get back to me'His anger was boiling now. It seemed these murderers weren't going to relent any moment soon. He wasn't going to let them get to Edward. He couldn't protect Li, but he was going to protect Edward at least with that, he would be able to forgive himself for not being able to save Li.'Yes sir' The reply came after a few seconds. Jason turned off the screen and started walking down the hallway, now out of the room where Edward and Mrs. Zhenyu were.His mind flashed back to two nights ago, after dropping Edward at Goldmere Grand.He had dialed a number.Ding... The loudspeaker filled his car. Seconds later, a crackling sound came through as someone picked up, followed by a voice "Yes, boss.""It is confirmed, he is Li's son." Jason took a deep breath. "A mess has been made. We need to fix it. Make sure there's nothing that will trace back to him, he needs to be protected.""Yes

"Are you sure you both want this divorce?" a man said, staring at the two figures sitting opposite him.The man had a black suit on that anyone would mistake the gathering for a business meeting, but with the surroundings, the man was a clerk at the marriage bureau. His eyes pierced into them as if it would make him search the answer in their mind since they refused to say a word.Ava's hand fidgeted under the table.Early this morning, she had gotten a message from the last person she thought would reach out to her..... Edward. Informing her to meet him at Goldmere marriage bureau for the annulment of their marriage.Even if Edward hadn't added that, Ava didn't need a soothsayer to tell her what they were going to do there. A marriage bureau was meant for either registration or annulment of marriage, and with everything that had happened between herself and Edward, their meeting there meant only one thing,Divorce.Her heart had been hammering ever since. Edward did said he was going
