Ethan slowly pushed open the glass door of the café. A soft chime rang out as the Japanese-style furin wind bell swayed with the motion, prompting the woman behind the counter to glance up.

Sunlight spilled in from behind him, casting a warm glow over most of his figure. He stepped out of the light, brimming with a quiet energy.

Inside, a woman in a pink, French-style maxi dress held a little girl who looked to be around three years old.

They were an adorable pair—mother and daughter alike.

Ethan froze as soon as he saw her. He had to steady himself against the doorframe, unmoving for several seconds.

In that brief moment, he studied her face intently. She looked young—surprisingly so for a mother. Twenty-five at most, he guessed.

Her features were flawless, as striking as Maya’s, and she had a beauty that could easily leave someone breathless.

But unlike Maya, this woman exuded a quiet elegance, a gentler grace.

There was a soft smile on her lips, the kind that made her seem approach

    A smile tugged at Ethan’s lips.When it came to dealing with despicable people, finding allies was never difficult. A man who mistreats one woman rarely stops there—he’s likely wronged many.With that in mind, Ethan opened the Notes app on his phone and began drafting a statement for Selena, carefully crafting her accusation against Cayden.But this wasn’t just about personal revenge—Ethan had a larger goal in mind. He intended to drag Cayden’s family company, Breezy Express, into the mess. And to make the impact more severe, he planned to implicate Cayden’s grandfather as well.Selena’s public image and reach gave Ethan the perfect weapon—her influence could deliver a devastating blow to a corporation worth tens of billions.Once he finished typing the statement, he handed the phone to Selena. “Read it carefully,” he said. “You’ll need to memorize it.”Selena scanned the text a few times, nodding slightly. “It looks alright,” she said, “but… why record a video? Can’t I just post this

    “Mind if I take a shower first?” Selena asked casually as she tossed her handbag onto the couch. It landed right beside Ethan’s hand.Ethan blinked, clearly confused by her sudden shift in tone. “Miss Selena… are you misunderstanding something here?”With a cold scoff, Selena shot back, “Misunderstanding? You secretly took photos of me and used them to threaten me. Now you’re offering me money—what else could this be about, if not to get me into bed?”Over the past two years since her rise to fame, she’d encountered more than her fair share of wealthy men and industry power players who had tried to buy her attention—or her body. To her, this kind of situation had become all too familiar.Ethan was silent for a few seconds, staring at her in disbelief before finally responding, “That’s not my intention at all. You might be the idol of countless fans, but I’m not one of them—and I’m definitely not interested in you that way.”“I didn’t call you here to threaten or seduce you. When I sai

    Although Renee hadn’t mentioned any names directly, it was painfully obvious to everyone that her biting remark was aimed squarely at Ethan. Ethan was about to leave with Clara, but those words stopped him cold. He turned slightly, his expression darkening. To him, Renee was just stirring up trouble. Maya was barely two months pregnant—the baby wasn’t due for several more months. It simply wasn’t time yet to buy a crib, and anyone with common sense would know that. But Maya, ever eager to provoke him, shot him a frosty glare and added sarcastically, “What more could I expect from someone who’s always mooching off others? A man like him won’t lift a finger. Hmph! Cayden will take care of our child. He’ll buy the crib, won’t you, honey?” Cayden responded promptly, “Of course I will.” Then Maya turned to him sweetly and asked, “Are there baby cribs on the upper floor? Let’s go check them out. After that, we can come back down and pick out a bed for ourselves.” Cayden nodded a
