******

There, slumped in a throne of plates and half-eaten dishes, was her man… a pot-bellied, overdressed figure in his mid-thirties, who appeared more focused on devouring the restaurant than participating in its drama.

His cheeks bulged with food. His gold watch glistened with crumbs. He looked like someone who had just been let loose at an all-you-can-eat buffet after a year of fasting.

He, alongside Glenn, was perhaps the only other person in the building who didn’t seem remotely disturbed by the chaos.

Bianca blinked in disbelief as she took in the mountain of emptied plates around him. A flicker of hesitation crossed her expression, but it vanished quickly.

She turned to the crowd with a dramatic flair, then wrapped her arms lovingly around the man’s rounded shoulders.

“Look at my man!” she announced loudly, startling the entire restaurant once again.

Her voice dripped with sugary exaggeration. “He is my love, my one and only, and my greatest treasure.”

  • Chapter 090 – She Doesn’t Sound Right

    ****** By the time the so-called “meeting” ultimately concluded, her wedding date had been fixed on the spot without so much as a flicker of concern for her opinion. And with that, Irene had left the estate with a heart heavy enough to crush her beneath its weight. She had returned to her small, pitifully rented apartment… her so-called refuge, and there, alone in the silent confines of that bare room, she had wept. For hours, her sobs had racked her body, the image of the hell awaiting her flashing mercilessly in her mind’s eye. An eternal prison she couldn’t escape. If she could run, she would. But the family’s grip on her was iron. They held the chains, and she… she had never been the type to break free. They knew this and counted on it. And finally, when her tears had run dry and exhaustion had left her trembling, Avery… desperate, trembling, and cornered, had gritted her teeth and dialed a number she had sworn she would never, under any circumstance, call. After all

  • Chapter 089 – Irene’s Bitter Experience II

    ****** That’s right. The urgent meeting she had been called for was that they’d found someone for her to marry. All this time abroad, all those years estranged from them… none of it mattered. In fact, even after she returned from abroad, her family hadn’t given her a second thought. They hadn’t cared enough to ask how she had been all those years, how she had managed, or made any effort to truly know her. They hadn’t even shown a tinge of guilty for abandoning her. Instead, they had completely busied themselves with Avery’s marriage preparations, Avery’s pregnancy, and Avery’s life. Irene had been left to linger in the shadows like always, an afterthought in her own family And now, when they finally showed interest in her, it wasn’t for love. It wasn’t for reconciliation. It wasn’t even for guilt. It was because they had found a man they deemed suitable for her. A man they expected her to marry without question. Avery had been stunned to her very core by this revelat

  • Chapter 088 – Irene’s Bitter Experience I

    ****** As Irene had resolved earlier that morning before walking away from the hotel, she had immediately contacted a local realtor agency to help her arrange a small, discreet, livable apartment far from the city center, so she could hide herself away for the time being until Glenn and her elder sister finalized their divorce. She needed to vanish for the time being. After all, guilt gnawed at her like a sickness she couldn’t cure. How could she possibly face her elder sister after sharing a night with her husband? Even breathing the same air as them now seemed impossible and unbearable. Moreover, she couldn’t stomach how awkward it would be… for herself and for Glenn if they ever crossed paths again in the presence of her sister, and Glenn finally realized who she truly was, that she was his wife’s sister. She had planned to disappear for a while, go ghost mode, as she called it in her head… vanish into anonymity until the divorce papers were signed, stamped, and sealed. A

  • Chapter 087 – Can You Come Over?

    ******“I… I…” Silent Flame tried to stammer through an excuse, but halfway through, she gave up entirely.“Hahaha! Of course, I know! I was just teasing you, Boss! That woman… How foolish of her to divorce the great Master Glenn… the very man every desirable, great, and powerful woman on this earth dreams of courting!”Glenn: “_”For several seconds, he could only blink, caught somewhere between disbelief and amusement. Was this girl truly normal? Who in their right mind would sound excited about someone else’s divorce? He couldn’t tell if she was deranged or simply too far gone into her own brand of madness.Still, he didn’t voice his thoughts aloud. Instead, he shifted the conversation with practiced indifference. “I need you to arrange a small, inconspicuous villa for me. Somewhere quiet. For now.”“I’m on it, Boss!” Silent Flame replied joyfully, still riding the high of the divorce news with unsettling cheer.But just as she was about to end the call, her curiosity flared

  • Chapter 086 – Silent Flame

    ******Without the slightest sign of urgency, Glenn leisurely pressed a sequence of numbers into his outdated cell phone. His movements were unhurried, his fingers light on the worn buttons as though the task itself was beneath his energy.Then with a final, indifferent tap, he initiated the call.The dial tone stretched on... longer than expected. His brow furrowed, his expression dipping briefly into a faint trace of displeasure. Just as he prepared to hang up with a sigh of irritation, the call connected.A lazy, aloof, and unmistakably cold voice drifted through the receiver. “Who?”At once, Glenn’s brow lifted. His lips twitched slightly, not quite a smile but something hovering near amusement.“… Oh? I didn’t realize you’d grown this arrogant in just a few weeks of not seeing you,” Glenn replied, his tone carrying even more languid arrogance than the woman’s. Every syllable dripped with effortless indifference, like a king too bored to chastise his subject properly.A pau
