The crystal chandeliers inside the most exclusive haute couture boutique in City-B reflected the splendor of the silver-embroidered evening gown draped elegantly over Elena's figure. Standing atop a circular platform before a floor-to-ceiling mirror, Elena allowed two fashion designers to smooth the satin folds around her waist. A few steps behind her, Aria stood quietly, holding her employer's fur coat while watching with a faint smile.

"The cut of this gown suits you perfectly, Madam," Aria s

    Although Aria seemed determined to keep stalling and delaying the inevitable, Elena was far from a foolish woman who could be deceived so easily. On her desk, a laptop displayed footage from the CCTV recording taken on the night of Leo's birthday, captured from the concealed gift registration area. Elena's slender fingers tapped the desk in a steady rhythm as her narrowed eyes remained fixed on the silhouette of a man handing a gray velvet box to one of the reception staff.It was Ray—Charlie Vane's former personal assistant.Leaning back in her chair, Elena's mind raced through every possible explanation. Why had that man attended Leo's birthday celebration? Was someone within her company secretly inviting the remnants of Charlie's past? Or was it nothing more than a coincidence? Her mood had already reached its lowest point that day. What had happened in the city park that morning—when William had brazenly crossed the boundaries she had set—had already shattered her peace of mind. N

    "Ray, it seems... all of my efforts to rebuild my life will end up being in vain. Leo doesn't need me in his life anymore," Charlie said, his voice muffled by the black mask covering his face, hoarse, trembling, and filled with despair.When it came to business, Charlie was a ruthless wolf. But when it came to his little son, he was nothing more than an incredibly fragile man. His heart felt as though it were being sliced apart, unable to accept the sight of the growing closeness between William Vanguard and Leo unfolding right before his own eyes.Meanwhile, several dozen meters away in the playground, William had just set Leo down from his arms. The little boy suddenly stopped walking. Tilting his head upward, he looked at one of the four broad-shouldered men standing guard nearby."Uncle, where's my toy ship?" Leo asked in the high-pitched voice typical of a young child."Ah, my apologies, Young Master. I accidentally left it on the back seat of the car," the bodyguard replied poli

    "Leo, sweetheart, it's time for your afternoon nap. Let go of your wooden ship for now," Elena said gently as she reached for the toy that had not left her son's embrace since morning.However, the five-year-old only tightened his arms around the oak wooden ship. His round eyes looked up at Elena with a pleading sparkle. "Mommy, I want to take it to bed with me. Please? I want my ship to sleep with me."Elena could only shake her head softly. She let out a quiet sigh, deciding to give in rather than let her son whine until it turned into a full-blown tantrum. Sitting down on the edge of the bed, she carefully straightened Leo's blanket."What makes this wooden toy so special, Leo?" she asked. "You've even forgotten about the giant robot Mr. William gave you.""Mommy, I've never had a toy ship like this before," Leo answered innocently, his tiny fingers gently stroking the smooth carved wood. "It feels... like someone's protecting me whenever I hold it."Elena froze.For some inexplica

    The atmosphere inside the study of Elena's private mansion was unbearably tense. Elena stood by the window with her arms folded across her chest, her sharp gaze fixed on the front courtyard, where a limited-edition black sports car was still secured atop a tow truck. Standing before her, Aria lowered her head, clutching her work tablet with fingers that trembled ever so slightly."Aria," Elena's voice broke the silence, clear yet carrying an unmistakable note of absolute authority. "Find out who sent that unnamed gray velvet gift box. I don't want to hear any excuses. By the end of today, I want to know who had the audacity to send an anonymous gift to my son's birthday party."Aria suddenly felt her throat go dry. Her heart pounded, knowing full well that the box had come from Ray, which meant it had been handcrafted by Charlie himself. However, as a professional assistant, all she could do was nod obediently."Yes, Madam. I'll review the guest manifest and the surveillance footage f

    The clock had long passed eleven at night as the lively atmosphere in Aethel Corp's grand ballroom gradually began to fade. On the magnificent stage, little Leo was finally starting to show unmistakable signs of exhaustion. Although his tiny lips continued to wear a sweet smile as he greeted each guest who came forward to congratulate him, Elena could feel her son's grip growing weaker with every passing minute. Realizing that Leo would not be able to endure the celebration much longer, she decided it was time to remove him from the center of attention."Aria, take over the remaining interactions with our associates," Elena whispered firmly as she lifted Leo into her arms. The little boy rested his head against her shoulder, his eyes growing heavy with sleep. "I'm taking Leo to the private suite upstairs.""Yes, Madam. Leave the rest to me," Aria replied without hesitation.As Elena turned toward the private elevator, her path was almost intercepted by William, who was about to follow

    The grand hall of Aethel Corp was shrouded in a cold magnificence. That evening, hundreds of crystal chandeliers reflected their dazzling light off the silk gowns and tailored designer suits worn by the world's most influential business leaders. Massive LED screens lined the walls, showcasing Aethel Corp's latest product—a revolutionary herbal weight-loss line poised to shake the international market. In the farthest corner of the last row, two men dressed in jet-black suits stood quietly among the sea of distinguished guests.Charlie Vane drew a short, heavy breath, his hand gripping a glass of champagne he had no intention of drinking. He lowered his head, staring at his polished leather shoes before glancing around the hall. He looked impeccably dressed tonight, yet he knew this suit was no longer a bespoke haute couture masterpiece commissioned from his private tailor in Milan during his days as the chairman of Capital. A sudden wave of insecurity crept into his heart, suffocating
