Somehow, the gaze of the middle-aged woman in front of him was so soothing, reminiscent of the gaze of Anika. Instantly, the longing within him for the orphanage mother who was no longer there was somewhat healed by the presence of the middle-aged woman.If they both realized it, they had some similarities in their facial features.Was it what they called coincidence? Well, perhaps.But suddenly, the middle-aged woman shook her head and released her hand from Christian’s face.“Oh, I’m sorry, dear. I didn’t mean to. I was just worried about the injury you sustained,” the middle-aged woman said.Christian shook his head, saying, “It’s okay, Ma’am. Thank you for your concern, but I’m fine and will get medical treatment.”The middle-aged woman seemed to remember something suddenly. Then she said, “Well then, let’s go. I’ll take you to meet the doctor.”Christian said, “That’s not necessary, Ma’am. I can manage on my own. If you accompany me, it will inconvenience you. Besides, I just n

Christian saw Yve’s expression, a look of confusion on her face. Then Camila turned her body slowly, facing Yve.“Yve? Hmm... you didn’t sleep?” Camila asked, her face showing fear.Yve’s facial expression remained cold and flat. She seemed like a woman nursing a wounded heart.“What did Mom do to Christian?” Yve asked, her gaze sharp.Camila attempted to smile while shaking her head. Then she said, “Mom didn’t do anything, really. You might have just misinterpreted things.”“What misinterpretation? I clearly saw it! Why did Mom push Christian towards the door like that? Weren’t they okay just a while ago? Why is Mom’s attitude changing again?” Yve’s voice rose.Hearing Yve’s questions relieved Camila and Christian. Camila even breathed a sigh of relief and appeared to ease her chest slightly.Her position earlier was the most dangerous, as she seemed much more active than Christian.“Oh, let me explain that since it’s partly my fault,” said Christian.Yve furrowed her brow, then aske

Clearly, Imka felt afraid. She knew that Larina was Yve’s aunt and she had also heard about the De Delta family’s maneuvers.Yve turned to Larina. Then she said, “Yes, I just arrived, Aunt. I had some matters to attend to at home, so I was a bit late.”Larina smiled sweetly while nodding her head. “No problem at all. Everything is under control, and the system is running very smoothly.”“Did you just arrive too, Aunt?” Yve asked back.“I just got here, but before that, I had some work to do by visiting our business partner’s company,” explained Larina.Yve furrowed her brows. As far as she remembered, she never gave Larina any orders or authority to meet with business partners. So why was Larina visiting one now?“Visiting a business partner? What’s the reason for that visit? Why wasn’t I informed about any business partner visits?” Yve asked, puzzled.Yve’s question made Larina slightly panicked. She didn’t expect Yve to ask like that.“Um... well... there were some sudden matters. L

The care and affection Callen had for Christian were misinterpreted and exploited by the jealous mothers.They saw an opportunity to make Callen look guilty and tarnish her reputation.In reality, Callen wasn’t one to stir up trouble; she was a very kind person. She never responded to others’ mistreatment of her to avoid arguments.However, her neighbors kept picking fights with her, always looking for ways to provoke her so they could have her kicked out of the village.Callen immediately released her embrace on Christian upon hearing the voices of the neighboring mothers.“I-I’m not doing anything, this isn’t what you think. You’re mistaken,” Callen said, shaking her head.“What? You think we’re mistaken? How could we be mistaken when you’ve clearly done something disgusting? Don’t deny it because we saw it with our own eyes and heads!” said the woman in the blue shirt.“Let’s quickly call the neighborhood chief, let’s just marry them off!” said the woman in the green nightgown.Bot

The document requested by Orion was an important document that could leak all the data within the World Tech Company. If Larina successfully brought the document, Orion would know all the plans made by the company, and then Orion would sell it to the competitor of the World Tech Company.Although it was a good idea for them to get fresh funds in large amounts in a short time, Larina dared not do it because her condition was currently not feasible. She had just heard with her own ears that Yve was mentioning her name.“Why can’t you? This is our last chance to save the family company. The money we got yesterday from Yve’s company is not much and cannot cover a quarter of the company’s debt. If we can sell that document to their competitor company, then we will get a big payment and possibly be able to pay off all the debt or at least three-quarters of our debt. Come on, Aunt!” Orion urged in a voice that sounded like a whining child.Larina shook her head, refusing her nephew’s request
