Before long, Jamie found herself holding a diamond bracelet, her fingers brushing against the surface. Bitterness swelled in her heart as she looked at the familiar bracelet. This was something Linda had given her many years ago. After Linda, had gone missing, Jamie had stored the bracelet away to avoid being reminded of her loss. Yet, after all these years, it had found its way back to her, as though completing a circle and returning to its starting point. When she brought the bracelet home, Linda was amusing herself in the living room. With Charlie at school, she had to find ways to entertain herself. Though Linda’s mental state was comparable to that of a five-year-old, she seemed perfectly content playing on her own. Still, Jamie couldn’t help but feel a pang of heartache every time she saw her mother like this. “Mom, I’m back,” Jamie said, holding the bracelet out to her. “Look what I found. Do you remember this?” Linda’s eyes lit up as she took the bracelet. “Br

The woman’s expression flickered with unease. “Are you trying to scare me with that?”“Whether it’s a scare or not depends on your actions,” Jamie replied, her tone sharp and laced with sarcasm. “An item left unattended is a lost possession to some, but to others, it might look like bait. Since when is returning lost property a crime?”The woman’s expression darkened as she realized she was losing the argument. The murmurs from the surrounding crowd began to shift in tone.“You’re just trying to dodge responsibility!” the woman snapped, her voice growing shriller. “I’ve never seen someone so shameless. Instead of feeling guilty, you stand there acting so self-righteous.”"You’re throwing baseless accusations at my mom, and the fact that I haven’t torn into you yet shows how patient I’m being. Do you actually expect me to be polite about it?" Jamie shot her a look that practically screamed, “Are you even hearing yourself?”The woman’s breath hitched in frustration. With a clench

Jamie initially thought everything was settled. That was, until she overheard someone mention that Noah was also taking over the Gem Harbor project. She frowned. “I thought this project was already assigned to Mr. Lucas? How can one project have two leads?” The assistant glanced nervously toward the door, then leaned in conspiratorially. “It’s the old chairman’s decision.” Jamie’s frown deepened, her thoughts flashing back to Ben’s calm demeanor over the past few days. She hadn’t noticed anything unusual. Was he truly indifferent, or was he hiding his emotions so well that even she couldn’t tell? She couldn’t make sense of Ben’s father’s intentions anymore. Her unease lingered, and she decided she couldn’t sit idly by. She went straight to Ben’s office. The moment she stepped in, Ben’s sharp eyes lifted briefly to meet hers before dropping back down to his work. “You came at the right time. I needed to tell you something. We’re flying to Bay City tomorrow for a

Ben remained unresponsive no matter how much Jamie tried to wake him. Her hand paused mid-motion when she noticed the faint furrow in his brow. Her resolve wavered, and her heart softened, silencing her intention to shake him awake. She adjusted her posture, giving up on the idea entirely.What Jamie didn’t notice was the subtle curve of Ben’s lips, a fleeting hint of satisfaction.By the time the plane landed, evening had fallen. The day had slipped away, and there wasn’t enough time to meet with anyone. Instead, they went straight to their hotel to check in. Jamie’s room was conveniently situated next to Ben’s, while the assistant was assigned a room farther away.Later that evening, Jamie was in the shower, enjoying the warm cascade of water, the bathroom filling with a light mist. Without warning, the showerhead stopped working. She fiddled with it, hoping it was a minor glitch, but the flow didn’t resume. “A fancy hotel like this, and they can’t even keep the water runnin

This time, Jamie wasn’t the center of attention. The gala was unique. It was not just a gathering for mingling, but one where guests were encouraged to play golf on the green. Good performance even came with a prize.Of course, given the wealth and status of the attendees, few truly cared about the prize. Most treated the game as a lighthearted diversion. The atmosphere buzzed with excitement as someone landed an impressive shot.A refined middle-aged man glanced toward the course and then smiled at them. “Mr. Lucas, Miss Lewis, would you care to give it a try on the course?”Jamie had been discreetly observing the man, quickly deducing that he must be the representative from the partner company.His invitation took her slightly off guard, but she recovered swiftly, her tone polite yet firm. “It seems Mr. Smith is indeed as rumored, a golf enthusiast. But I must admit, I lack the talent for it. I’d rather not embarrass myself out there.”Tim paused briefly, then chuckled. “Miss Le
