Hi, dear readers. I apologize for the slow updates recently. I fell ill and I'm only just recovering, so please kindly bear with me. Thank you so much for all your support.
C244: One Condition
"Who could be calling me at this hour?" Victor grumbled as he pulled out his phone. His brows immediately furrowed when he saw the caller ID."Hello?" He answered almost immediately. For several seconds, he simply listened. Then his expression changed. The color drained from his face, and his eyes widened in disbelief."What?!" His voice was filled with shock. "Why did they suddenly change the deadline? What do you mean they've moved it forward?"He paced a few steps away from the car. "Wait... What? I'm going to face a lawsuit for delayed payment?"His voice became increasingly anxious. Catherine watched him nervously. She couldn't hear what the person on the other end was saying, but judging from Victor's expression, it clearly wasn't good news.The call continued for another minute. Victor eventually nodded repeatedly, even though the person on the other end couldn't see him."I understand." He swallowed nervously. "I'll try to find a solution as soon as possible. Just... please h
C243: Not Even A Penny
"Father-in-law?" Veyron let out a dark chuckle. The faint smile on his lips disappeared as his expression gradually turned cold. His icy-green eyes narrowed. "Did you ever treat Iris like your daughter?""You...!" Victor's finger trembled as he pointed at Veyron, but no words came out because he couldn't refute him.Veyron's lips curled into a cold sneer. "It's the truth. You never cared about Iris when she had nothing. You didn't even treat her like a member of your family."His gaze became colder. "So why should I suddenly treat you as my father-in-law now that you need something from her?"Victor's face turned bright red. He clenched his fists tightly and took several deep breaths, desperately trying to suppress his anger. This useless ex-convict actually dared to lecture him?!But he had no choice except to endure it. He needed the money. So he glared at Veyron and asked through gritted teeth, "I'm asking you one last time. Will you lend us the money or not?"Veyron didn't even he
C242: Hypocrites
"Iris, we are all family here." Catherine remained calmer than Victor, and her face still carried a gentle smile as she spoke in a self-righteous tone."You can't just stand by and watch your own family suffer, can you?"Iris fell silent. For a brief moment, she didn't know how to respond. Those words had always been her weakness.No matter how badly the Blackwell family had treated her in the past, a small part of her still couldn't completely turn her back on them. She wasn't heartless enough to watch people she once considered family suffer without feeling anything.Her resolve began to waver. But just as she was about to give in, a sarcastic voice suddenly came from behind her."And who said you are family?"Everyone instinctively turned around. The moment Victor and Catherine saw Veyron approaching, their expressions darkened.Catherine's gentle smile disappeared. She looked at him disdainfully. "And who gave a mere ex-convict the right to interfere in our family affairs?""Exact
C241: Group Of Vampires
Due to the overwhelming popularity of Raven & Radiance's Infinity bracelet, other jewelry brands were greatly affected.Among them, the most affected was undoubtedly Naomi's Gems.The sudden popularity of Infinity had stolen a large portion of the attention Naomi's latest collection had previously enjoyed.

C240: Infinity
In the end, Naomi could only grit her teeth and glare at Veyron."You... Just wait and see! This isn't the end!"Her chest heaved violently as she stared at him. She was so furious that she couldn't think of anything else to say.She simply snorted before turning around and storming away. As soon as she stepped out of the building, she pulled out her phone and dialed a familiar number.The call rang three times before it was answered."Hello?" The deep, hoarse voice on the other end would usually have been enough to calm her down. Not this time."Honey..." Her voice trembled with anger and frustration. "I failed again."There was a brief silence. "What happened?"Naomi immediately began recounting everything that had happened at Callahan's company. She didn't leave out a single detail, although she naturally made herself sound far more innocent than she actually was. When she finally finished, silence returned to the other end.Then the man's voice finally came through. "I didn't expe
