Anna gazed at her grandfather, clearly annoyed by his behavior. It had been months since she returned from New York City, where he had sent her against her will for a meeting, yet he still hadn't told her what she wanted to know. When she asked about it, he blamed her for not making an effort to get to know this Nagid person. It was frustrating that he was angry with her instead of the other way around. For the past three weeks, he hadn't spoken to her, and he had even refused to take his medication, all because she didn't comply with his wishes. Today was no different. He was causing a fuss over the lunch that the chef had prepared, even though it was Anna who had instructed them to make something suitable for her grandfather's weak stomach, like congee. He behaved like a child, demanding steak and accusing her of neglecting his instructions. The butler, who was innocent in this situation, bore the brunt of his anger. He knew that Anna and the old man were not on good terms, so he di

Edward harbored a deep and secret affection for Anna that he had carefully guarded over the years. From the moment he first laid eyes on her, he was captivated by her strength, intelligence, and unwavering determination. Her ability to lead with authority and yet retain a sense of compassion fascinated him. He admired her unwavering commitment to her responsibilities, the way she fearlessly faced challenges head-on, and her unwavering loyalty to her grandfather. Edward saw qualities in Anna that he believed made her not only an exceptional leader but also an extraordinary person. Every day, he longed to express his feelings to her, to let her know how deeply he cared. Yet, he understood the scars that marked her heart, wounds inflicted by a past incident that had left her cautious and guarded. He didn't want to be the one to cause her further pain or create any discomfort between them. Instead, he chose to silently support her from the shadows, always there by her side, ready to pro

"What do you think, will she like it?" the old marshal asked Charles. "I'm quite certain she will like it. But you should know that she has become increasingly difficult to please lately," Charles replied. "That's very true. But we'll have to wait until she sees it first, right?" the old marshal said, contemplating the situation. "Of course, master," Charles said with a gleeful expression. He had been eagerly waiting to give this gift to Anna, his granddaughter, for quite some time. However, there never seemed to be a good moment. But now, he had decided that it was time to present it to her, especially since she had been showing a growing interest in seeing things for herself. While the old marshal and Charles were engaged in their discussion about the gift, Anna entered the room. Her arrival immediately dampened the atmosphere, as her mood was clearly sour. Observing this, the old marshal discreetly signaled for Charles to fetch some chocolate from the kitchen. He knew that it s

Emma remained silent, unwilling to say anything that would bring trouble to her father. She was a self-centered person and knew that her father was currently her only source of support, at least until she found someone else she could rely on. Ava, being skilled at reading minds, sensed Emma's intentions of saving herself. However, that was not Ava's concern. Her primary goal was to find Nagid's whereabouts. Since he wasn't the person they were after, she had a chance to pursue him. Who knows, perhaps she might even marry him in the future. The mere thought of the cold Nagid smiling at her and asking for her hand in marriage excited her. Silently, Emma took out her phone and shared the address with Ava after obtaining her number. Ava glanced at the address and no longer felt the need to linger there. She stood up and left without uttering a word to Emma. Ava no longer saw her as significant. However, just before she walked out the door, she stopped in her tracks and turned back. "I be

All the ladies present looked at Emma in shock. Could it be true? Was there a chance for them if Emma and Nagid got divorced? They all secretly wished that what Lisa, the media princess, was saying had some truth to it. Every lady present had a crush on the incredibly handsome Nagid ever since. It was a pity that he fell for Emma and married her. "You guys are divorced! Why didn't you say anything about it to any of us?" one of her girlfriends asked, hitting at the underlying desire they all had. They all wanted a piece of Nagid for themselves. Emma wasn't oblivious to their intentions. This was the same scenario from years ago, before she married Nagid. All these ladies wanted Nagid to themselves. She couldn't forget when one of them went as far as faking an ailment, expecting Nagid to show concern. But as we all know, Nagid didn't buy into the ruse, leaving her to pretend she was dizzy. Just when it seemed Nagid was about to catch her, Emma felt an intense pain at the back of her h
