The elegant restaurant was quiet and peaceful. Soft piano music filled the air while people enjoyed their meals and chatted in low voices.

Near the window, Jason and Ruby sat across from each other.

Unlike their usual bookstore dates, today was different. It was their first real date.

Ruby glanced around the restaurant excitedly before picking up her phone. "Jason."

"Hmm?"

"Smile."

Jason had barely looked up when—

Click.

Ruby looked at the picture and smiled. "Not bad." She immediately raised h

    After taking her bath, Kelsey changed into her nightwear. For several minutes, she sat quietly on the edge of her bed. She had told Ramon they would talk when they returned home.But after they arrived, they had dinner almost immediately, and before she could bring up the conversation, Ramon had already gone upstairs.Taking a deep breath, Kelsey stood up and walked out of her room.She needed to have that conversation with Ramon tonight. They would both leave early for work tomorrow.The mansion was quiet.Soon, she stopped in front of Ramon's bedroom. She knocked twice.There was no answer.Kelsey waited for a few seconds. Maybe he had already fallen asleep.She was about to turn around when the door suddenly opened.Ramon stood behind it. His hair was still wet, showing that he had just finished taking a shower. A white towel was wrapped around his waist, and his usual cold and serious expression was replaced by surprise."Kelsey..." he called, clearly not expecting to see her stan

"You said that was the last one.""I changed my mind."Click.Jason looked at her helplessly."Ruby..." he called softly, glancing around to see if anyone was looking at them. "How many pictures do you need?"Ruby lowered her phone and thought seriously. "I don't know."Jason blinked. "You don't know?"She nodded honestly. "I'll stop when I'm satisfied."Jason didn't know what to say. "You've already taken a lot."Ruby swiped through the photos. "I delet

    Laura lowered her head. The red handprint on her cheek was still visible. The entire warehouse remained silent.Kelsey didn't speak immediately.She calmly pulled a chair over and sat down in front of Laura. Her movements were slow and composed. There wasn't a trace of anger on her face anymore. Somehow, that calmness frightened Laura even more.Ramon stood quietly a few steps behind Kelsey. He didn't interrupt. He simply watched.Kelsey crossed one leg over the other and looked at Laura."Let's not waste time," Kelsey said slowly. "How well you answer my questions will determine whether you leave here alive."Laura slowly lifted her head. Her eyes were swollen from crying."Why did you want me dead?" Kelsey asked in a low voice. "Don't say because you hate me. I hate you as well, but I didn't come after you."Laura's lips trembled. "I..."Kelsey raised a hand, stopping her."Think carefully before you answer." She leaned forward. "You arranged the hit-and-run accident that almost kil

    Five o'clock.Ramon glanced at the clock on the wall before looking back at Daniel. "So they insist on six?"Daniel nodded helplessly. "Yes, sir. Storm Enterprise said their CEO won't be available until then."Ramon's expression turned cold. "They're quite persistent.""They also said they can reschedule it for another day if six doesn't work for us."Ramon let out a quiet scoff. Without another word, he picked up his briefcase.Daniel looked surprised."Sir... you're leaving?""I have something more important.""But the meeting...""Postpone it," Ramon cut him off as he walked past him. "If they truly want this partnership, they'll arrange another meeting."Daniel could only nod."I understand, sir."...Nearly thirty minutes later...The black Bentley slowly drove into the Ivory Mansion.The car had barely stopped when Ramon stepped out. He walked into the house with quick strides.The moment he entered the living room, he saw Kelsey already waiting.She had changed into a simple cr

    Meanwhile...Inside Holloway Holdings...Ramon sat behind his desk, reading through a contract.A knock sounded on the office door."Come in."Daniel walked in carrying a file. He placed it on the table and, without waiting for Ramon to ask why he was there, began his report."The verdict has been delivered. Miss Josh has been sentenced to two years in prison," Daniel informed him.Ramon's expression didn't change.He simply nodded.The sentence was fair.He hadn't interfered by using his power. If he had, she would have received a much longer sentence. He had allowed the court to decide Wanda's punishment."What about her father?" he asked quietly.Daniel understood who he meant."Mr. Josh didn't create a scene. He accepted the court's decision."Ramon closed the file and nodded.He felt relieved that Andrew hadn't tried to make things difficult for himself. At least he had listened to him and accepted the one-time payment Ramon had given him.After a brief silence, Ramon looked at D

    Crash!A porcelain cup shattered against the floor.The chairwoman of Sunlight Group, Savannah Bianchi, stood in the middle of the luxurious living room, her face twisted with anger.She gripped her phone tightly and dialed the same number again."The number you are trying to reach is unavailable..."The mechanical voice sounded once more.Her face darkened.She ended the call and dialed another number. It was the same result.The call wouldn't go through."Useless people!" she shouted angrily. "They can't even do one simple job!"Her secretary had informed her that Kelsey had been seen at the plantation today.Kelsey shouldn't have been there.Laura had assured her that she would get the job done two nights ago.So why was Kelsey still walking around?She was trying to reach Laura through the phone she had given her.After failing to reach Max, she became afraid that something had gone wrong.Not wanting anything to be traced back to her if something had indeed happened, she had made

    The next morning… Kelsey slowly opened her eyes. A sharp pain shot through her head, making her shut them again immediately. Her brows tightened as she let out a soft groan. Everything felt heavy… her body, her thoughts… even her breathing. She was still lost when the door suddenly opened.

    Kelsey stepped out of her room after changing into the dress. The soft fabric brushed gently against her skin as she carefully held the side of the gown, afraid she might accidentally step on it. For a moment, she stood quietly outside her door. It had been a very long time since she dressed up
