LOGINThiago stepped out from the CEO’s office and headed back to his own.“Mr. Thiago! How’d it go? Your father didn’t give you a hard time, did he?” Mateo had already prepared coffee for him, asking the question with a worried expression and a cautious tone.Thiago elegantly settled down on the couch by his desk and took a sip of his coffee, his eyes filled with gloom.“He didn’t give me a hard time.”Mateo exhaled in relief, his heart relaxing.“That’s impossible.” Thiago continued.Mateo's eyes widened, his anxiety returning, “I knew it! He wouldn’t make things easy for you! He’s a total slacker!”“I sometimes wish he was a slacker. I wish I wasn’t his actual son.”The coffee that Thiago had been drinking suddenly lost its rich flavor, leaving only a bitter taste, “Unfortunately, he is indeed my father.”“Ugh!” Mateo sighed in frustration, at a loss for words.“Elijah has now handed the wedding project of Ada over to Jasmine.”“What? Oh my God!”Mateo was shocked, cursing in disbelief,
The secretary was busy turning on the TV tuning it to the news channel.It was World Wonders Weekly again.Thiago frowned. Ever since the Westguard project was stolen away from him, he had been feeling down every time he saw this news show.“Welcome to World Wonders Weekly First up is today’s headline. International movie star Ada arrived in Hemsworth last night, attracting a large number of fans and media attention. It is reported that Ada came to Hemsworth to fulfill her sick mother’s wish and to hold her wedding in her mother’s hometown. The renowned Anderson Hotel and Hamilton Hotel had been vying for the opportunity to host Ada’s wedding. After days of competition, Ada finally picked her ideal hotel.”Thiago's was dry-mouthed and his throat tightened as he stared fixedly at the screen.“And that is, Hamilton Hotel. Congratulations to Hamilton Hotel for successfully securing the hosting rights to Ada’s wedding!”Instantly, Thiago felt a heavy sinking feeling. His ears rang and his
Next day.Thiago was busy handling some urgent matters, but when he heard about Owen's car accident, he immediately dropped everything and rushed to the hospital.In the wardOwen was lying stiffly on the hospital bed, with protectors around his waist and neck. He was opening his mouth wide, preparing to bite into the apple slices that his female secretary had cut for him.He looked like a helpless dork, thoroughly enjoying the feeling of being waited on.Thiago walked into the ward. He gave him one glance and frowned. “Owen, have you struck gold or something? You’re not even thirty yet. Why are you acting so smug?”The secretary quickly stepped aside, bowed to Thiago, and left the room to give the two some private space.“God. Thiago! Are you here to see me or to make me feel worse? How am I being smug? If I could move, would I need all this?” Owen grimaced in pain.“Stop squirming Just take a rest.” Thiago's face remained cold, but he quickly walked to the bed and helped Owen lie fl
Seriously? Audrey has managed to get her hands on a piece of jewelry even Ada, the top dog in the jewelry game, couldn’t snag?Jasmine was shocked but played it cool and complimented. “Wow, Audrey, you’re really something! If you can score Alea’s jewelry, Ada will surely come back to us. That way, we can get back at Kira and do Thiago a solid. Plus, it’s gonna make you look like a hero in the Anderson family. Your relationship with Thiago is bound to take a huge leap forward.”Audrey laughed with joy. “So we must snatch this project from Kira”Jasmine agreed verbally, but her mind was working on something else.She didn’t want to help Thiago out. They weren’t exactly siblings. But this could be her moment to shine, and if she could snag the project lead from Thiago, she could really make a splash and impress her father, helping her mom’s declining reputationAnd Audrey was just the sidekick!At this thought. Jasmine was thrilled. Her eyes sparkled with desire and her cheeks flushed.“
“Mom! Didn’t I just tell you? I knew there was something fishy about those two! Molly is trying to mess up my thing with him!”When Jasmine saw Owen dressing Molly in an expensive red evening gown, her heart filled with jealousy. Molly's face was fresh and natural. No makeup was needed, and she still looked gorgeous as hellEven more annoying, they were both wearing the same shade of wine red, looking like a freaking couple!Standing side by side under the bright lights, they looked like newlyweds, hogging all the attention.Jasmine felt like her own purple dress was a slap in the faceRed and purple, what a horrible combo!“Molly is my flesh and blood, I know what kind of person she is!”Unlike Jasmine, Helen looked deeper into the situation. “Although Molly is already 22, she acts like an 11–year–old kid. She’s not mature enough to date, let alone steal your man. Do you think she has the guts and wits for that?”Jasmine cooled down a bit, but she was still pissed off.“I think it’s
Owen booked a presidential suite in the hotel and instructed his female secretary to quickly buy a low–key cocktail dress for Molly to wear.As Molly went into the room to change, Owen sat alone on the leather couch, legs crossed, left arm resting on the edge of the couch, and the fingers on his right hand lightly tapping on his knee.If he were wearing a black suit tonight, he would look like a groom waiting for his bride to try on her wedding gown.Soon, the door openedThe secretary, with a smile on her face, led Molly out of the room.“Mr. Owen, Molly is dressed already”Owen casually turned his head to see Molly in a burgundy lace dress, standing in front of him with her eyes sparkling. She looked both adorable and a bit naive.He paused slightly, his gaze deepening.Owen's life was filled with luxury and hustle. He had seen all sorts of women, but he had never seen such clear eyes. It was as if his gaze would tarnish her innocent eyes if he lingered for a bit longer.“Why did yo

Thiago stood with his back to her, a smile tugging at the comers of his lips.But he didn’t have the guts to face her for some reason.Avery’s lips were pressed tight, a storm brewing in his eyes.Even though Kira and Thiago were divorced now and not on good terms, he still felt a complex mix of em
