Adriana pushed back. “In terms of seniority, I can’t compare to the veterans in the firm. This might upset them.”Aidan took on the tone of a director and said coolly, “This is my decision. If anyone has a problem, they can come to my office.”Seeing that his mind was made up, Adriana had no choice but to agree.After finishing the business talk, Adriana casually brought up Snow’s good news. Naturally, Aidan followed the topic, but not without a few sarcastic remarks.“After so many years of messing around, she’s finally landed her first lead role. Honestly, if she doesn’t take a lead again soon, she’ll be stuck playing the lead’s mom.”Adriana threatened to tell Snow what he said.Then she asked, “Now that Lawyer Jessica’s gone, are we planning to recruit someone new? Do you have a candidate in mind?”Aidan didn’t consider Jessica’s departure a loss to the firm. Everything that needed to be said had already been said. Jessica had mentioned that she didn’t want to stay in the same fir

Adriana was called a mother by her, which pierced straight to the tip of her heart — and completely melted it.This scene… it had appeared in her dreams many, many times, and it carried a weight she could hardly bear.Adriana's nose tingled with a sharp, sour ache. She was on the verge of tears. “Little one, how are you alone here? Did you get separated from the adults?”The little girl pursed her lips, as if only now realizing that the woman in front of her wasn’t her mother. Disappointment clouded her eyes as she hung her head. “Daddy is a big liar. He said Mommy went to the sky to pick stars for me and would come back when she found the prettiest one. I thought it was Mommy who came back…”Adriana understood at once — this child must have lost her mother at a young age, or had been separated from her. Worried about touching a tender scar, Adriana softened her voice and asked gently, “Do you remember your dad’s phone number? Auntie will call him for you.”The girl recited a string o

He clearly had something difficult to say — and yet, she was so eager to find the truth.How unfilial of me…“Adriana, listen to your father,” he said gravely. “From now on, you must not interfere in this matter. If you’re willing to stay in the country, stay. If you want to come back, then come. But promise me — do not get involved in anything between me and your brother. Do you understand?”Hearing her father’s serious tone, Adriana knew this matter wasn’t simple.She grew more and more confused.“But Dad, how could such a large sum of money just disappear without a trace? Calvin clearly said that my brother transferred a huge amount while Clarke Group’s finances were already in the red. That’s what pushed the company into bankruptcy and liquidation. It doesn’t make sense… Dad, I’m not a child anymore. I want to help. I want to share the burden with you.”She heard her father sigh heavily. After a long silence, he finally spoke. “Adriana… we’re businessmen. But very often, the money

She purposely paused for a moment, as if speaking out of turn, then quickly made up for it with a polite smile.“Lawyer Clarke is very capable. I’ve learned a lot from her.”Those words—half praise, half criticism—were deliberately subtle.In just one sentence, she hinted that Adriana’s relationship with the company’s top management wasn’t just a normal hierarchical one—it was closer, more ambiguous.Mark gave a faint smile. “Really?”Jessica added, “To be honest, what Lawyer Clarke is most famous for isn’t her litigation skills, but her personal charm. She’s beautiful, and has a very unique personality. So, it’s not surprising she’s popular with men. What’s strange, though, is that she had a stable boyfriend—and then they suddenly broke up.”Mark’s expression remained calm. “Strange. I’ve never heard anything about Lawyer Clarke being in a relationship.”Jessica nodded. “Oh, she definitely had one. Her boyfriend used to send her roses twice a week. It caused quite a stir. We were all

Last time on the mountain, there had been plenty of space and plenty of people, so she could hide herself well. But today, all her expressions and movements were in plain view—she simply had nowhere to hide.Pretending to be at peace with Calvin… she couldn’t quite pull it off.When Ethan spoke, her first reaction was to refuse. “Fortunately, there’s a breeze today. It’s not too hot, and I’m not too—”The word thirsty never made it out. Abruptly, a cup of tea was placed in front of her. The person who served it said nothing—silent, aloof, and cold.Adriana tried to hide the unnaturalness in her expression, tugging at the corner of her lips. “Thank you.”“It’s fine.” The reply was bland, almost careless.Calvin drained the tea in his own cup and picked up the teapot again. His arms were slender, his elbows slightly bent as he poured—every movement simply pleasing to the eye.Henry, seated beside Adriana, smiled and held out his cup. Adriana started to help pass it to Calvin, but before
