"What do you mean, Mum?"
Jill paced in front of her desk with indecision. Shannon's choice had really rattled her. She nodded her head slowly as she looked at a worried Camellia."Stop biting your nails, Lia! Your nails aren't always hygienic! Do you want to catch a disease when we're filled with a lot of thoughts, like right now? Our immunity can drop drastically when faced with hard choices that can make us depressed! So don't trigger it by acting childish! I don't want to see you get sick when I'm struggling. Do you get it?"Camellia nodded slowly. She bowed her head with feet that continued to tread with indecision. "What can we do now, mum? Both options don't make us safe at all. I mean, why do you have to keep looking for trouble? You should just keep quiet until they're out of here, shouldn't you?"Jill was still pacing restlessly. Her eyes closed for a moment before finally letting out a long sigh as her steps stopped right in front of Camellia. "They're tryi

Camellia was helping Jill sort through some documents in her room when the clock struck eight in the evening. There were still three other large cabinets to sort through in order to find important documents that might be useful to them in the future. But so far, Camellia had yet to obtain the document Arthur was referring to."As far as I remember, it was just put in a blue file. I don't know if Mrs Reynolds replaced it or not. Anyway, when you find a document that you're not allowed to touch at all, or even your mum's eyes are on it and no one is allowed to touch it, I guess that's my document."Camellia was shocked to death when Jill called out to her from a distance. She was wide-eyed, as if she had just been caught helping Arthur get the wedding of her dreams. She looked back, trying to make sure that her mum was hissing only at her.Jill chuckled in annoyance. She, who was also sorting documents from her desk, let out a long sigh. "Why do you have to look back, Lia?

"Did you find my document?"Arthur asked after sneaking into Lia's bedroom, even though he knew it was already past midnight. He soon sat down on the edge of the bed, trying to pry out a lot of information about the past documents that might become his weapon to subdue Jill easily.Camellia smiled softly. Her mouth was clenched shut in nervousness. "I just couldn't find it, Arthur."Hearing Camellia's answer, Arthur closed his eyes, holding back his disappointment. He had given them a room for the night. As much as possible, he invited Jill to stay in the apartment he bought earlier under the pretext that there were still two rooms left. "So you didn't find anything during the five hours you spent helping her sort documents into her room? What about in her bedroom?"Camellia let out a long hiss and shook her head slowly. Her index finger was pointed and immediately placed in front of Arthur's mouth, who had not stopped talking about her fruitless efforts."Shh! L

"What's going on, hun?"Like a thief caught in the act, Shannon quickly closed her laptop. She smiled with a unique look on her face. It was no longer an expression of loving anticipation. Instead, it was an expression of shock. "Are you awake?"Seeing Shannon's unexpected behaviour, Aland did not bother. He smiled and planted a kiss on her forehead before getting out of bed. "You work even in the early morning? Is this your way of getting more time with me and the stars?"Hearing her husband's subtle insinuation, Shannon's face turned red. She looked down slowly before finally turning to her husband, who was about to strip. "Are you trying to tempt me to look at the stars now? I think there's still one star left for our morning togetherness. Want to give it a try?"Instead of answering, Aland danced wildly while stripping off his trousers. In just an instant, not only was his body swaying to the beat, but also his sensitive parts were perfectly erect.Obviously,

"They announced a wedding that will be held today!"Shannon's right hand showed her phone. Showing the news coming from the various social media feeds on her phone, to Aland, then to Pete, as if the news was an enormous danger.Instead of being surprised, Aland downed the fruit juice that had been provided. A unique reaction was shown by Pete, who seemed to rush up from the dining table to the living room, switch on the television and then open the news channel. Sure enough, the news about Camellia and Arthur's wedding caused a lot of excitement.Pete immediately turned to Aland, who was still calmly reaching for his dessert. He approached Aland anxiously, before finally sitting on the nearest bench. "Listen to me, Aland. This is not good. I mean, if the media finds out about Jill and Camellia not living here anymore, JF Groups and Reynolds Industries will be affected."Shannon frowned in surprise. She looked at Pete, who was fidgeting excessively. "What's wrong with

Quickly, Jill got up after listening to the recorded voice, which shocked her. Her eyes widened, as if she couldn't believe what she was listening to.Seeing her mother's sudden change in demeanour, Camellia also got up after gazing at the man she had met discussing the topic of marriage in Arthur's luxurious room. She approached her mother to find out what was going on that was making Jill behave impolitely. "What are you doing, mum?"Jill twisted her head with both eyes, scanning the surroundings. She glanced at the clock that was almost nine. "He's here. Did he ever send someone here? Why do I feel like he knows my movements here?"Arthur, who was sitting on his stool, frowned. He rose slowly, with both eyebrows furrowed in surprise. "What is it, Mrs Reynolds?"Jill moved quickly. She approached Arthur nervously while biting her lower lip as she glanced around. "Aland is here. He knows I'm going to have a press conference about this issue soon. And he—"Jill a

Ten minutes earlier, Arthur had briefly excused himself to Camellia to go to the hotel to get something. Camellia, who had understood, nodded and said yes without hesitation. Quickly, he contacted someone in the car park to prepare the car in front of the lobby to shorten the time.Along with Jill, who also went down from the top floor to the underground floor, Arthur was behind her back, heading to the ground floor. Sure enough, it only took him a short while to arrive at the hotel and search the room Jill was in. Slowly but surely, he searched for the suitcase that Camellia had mentioned in a text message.In just a moment, she could find the suitcase that Jill had hidden under the bed. He quickly opened the suitcase and tried to find the hidden file. He found it!In the pocket on the back cover of the suitcase, he found documents he had never seen in all the time he had known Jill. Without thinking, he photographed every single file he found with a triumphant smile th

In the JF Groups room, Pete, who was watching the press conference, let out a long sigh. For the first time, he felt relieved when he saw Jill make a statement. After that, he resumed the JF Groups project and rescheduled Aland and Ronald White's meeting.Elsewhere, Shannon just stood with her arms crossed. Instead of paying attention to the press conference that might affect Reynolds Industries, Shannon focused on the statement in the court's judgement. She read all the facts about who Jill really was from the pictures she took when she found Jill's confidential documents.Shannon massaged her head lightly. She really did not expect Jill's life to be so full of drama. Although she herself did not understand whether the court judgement was something that could be accounted for or not.Out of curiosity, Shannon finally opened a search page. She entered keywords with Cavill's name. Sure enough. She found a lot of news about the name she had entered.Shannon swallowed h

"Forget about this. They must be working together. Those two bastards must be seeking revenge. Meggie with her demands, and Aland with his desires. Damn it!"Arthur's eyebrows rose as he sniggered softly. He grabbed a proposal that had to be presented before lunchtime. "We should go meet Joseph this afternoon, Mrs Reynolds. Isn't he the biggest distributor who brought Reynolds Industries so much demand? This time, you have to get it. Not just for US Foods' benefit. But it will also be the presentation after you return after being expelled by Shannon, right? If you can take over Reynolds Industries' favourite position, I can just buy you an apartment like the one I have now. Isn't that exciting, Mrs Reynolds?"Instead of answering enthusiastically, Jill squinted sharply. She glanced at the watch on her wrist before finally reaching for the proposal Arthur held out in front of her. "Even I was your future mom in law when you almost married my daughter? Can't you go alone this
