Irene's smile remained, undeterred by the slap. "I'm not sending the money back to you," she replied coolly, her tone laced with arrogance.

Dorothy's eyes narrowed in response. "Really?" she said, her voice dripping with menace. Without hesitation, she pulled out her phone, opened the camera, and took a picture of Irene. "I'll deal with you bitterly, try me," she threatened.

"Delete that, delete it," Irene pleaded desperately as Dorothy held her phone aloft.

Dorothy's grip on the phone tightened. "Then transfer the money back," she demanded, her voice steely with resolve.

"I'm not doing that," Irene retorted defiantly, hastily dressing herself in an attempt to flee. But before she could make her escape, Dorothy's hand shot out and seized a knife from the nearby table.

"Maverick, let me go!" Dorothy struggled against his grasp, her eyes ablaze with anger.

Maverick tightened his grip, his voice stern and commanding. "Listen to me, Dorothy. If you do this, if you harm her, you'll be jai

  • Chapter 492: Fibroid

    Benjamin lifted a spoonful of food and blew gently before turning to Cordelia with a small, soft smile. “Here,” he said. Cordelia blinked, surprised—but leaned slightly forward, letting him feed her. Her cheeks warmed as she chewed shyly and smiled back at him. She then scooped a bit of her own dish and nudged it toward Benjamin’s lips. “Your turn,” she whispered. Benjamin leaned in and took the bite without breaking eye contact, like she was the only person in the room who mattered. The driver watched quietly, amused by their sweetness, as he ate his meal calmly. They were about to finish eating when the driver’s phone rang again—loud enough to draw glances from nearby tables. The driver stiffened, quickly trying to silence it, but Benjamin’s eyes narrowed this time. “Give me the phone,” he said calmly. The driver froze. “S-sir, it’s nothing. I—” “Phone.” Benjamin’s tone left no room for refusal. Reluctantly, the driver handed it over. Benjamin answered, “Hello?” A woman’

  • Chapter 490: The Shopping

    Cordelia blinked, her fingers pausing on the silver crest.Eight in the world?She quickly tried to put it back, her heart racing a little.“It’s too much,” she murmured.Benjamin chuckled — the kind of chuckle that said you’re adorable for thinking that matters.“Cordelia,” he said, rising and stepping toward her, “if you like something, that’s enough reason.”He took the bag from her gently, holding it up near her shoulder.“And it suits you perfectly.”Her cheeks warmed — a soft blush blooming.“But—” she tried again.“No buts,” Benjamin said calmly. “You’re my wife. And my wife doesn’t second-guess what she deserves.”Cordelia’s lips parted slightly — no argument left in her.Cordelia, still shyly admiring the bag, suddenly snapped back into reality. She bit her lip lightly and looked at the attendant.“How much
 is this?” she asked quietly.The attendant smiled politely, hands folded.“This piece goes for ₣129,800,” she said — the number flowing out casually.Cordelia nearly chok

    At the same time
Inside the car, Cordelia rested her right hand gently atop Benjamin’s, the other hand scrolling through something on her phone. Benjamin glanced at her briefly with a soft smile, then took his own phone from his pocket and tapped a number.It rang once
 then connected.Benjamin sat up slightly, his voice warmening.“Mom.”The moment Cordelia heard that single word, she froze. Her heart skipped — she quickly turned off her phone’s screen and placed it carefully beside her, now fully attentive.Evelyn’s delighted voice poured through the speakers.“My son, how are you?”Benjamin relaxed back into his seat.“I’m fine, Mom. How are you?”They exchanged a few gentle greetings — then Benjamin paused
 cleared his throat subtly.His fingers tightened around Cordelia’s.“Mom
 Cordelia is here with me.”Cordelia’s breath hitched.Her cheeks warmed as though she had been caught doing something bold.There was a surprised silence on Evelyn’s end — only for a second — before her

Rhoda sat forward on the couch, arms folded tightly as her eyes drilled into Marshall. Her voice carried a sharp edge of panic masked as anger.“How do you even plan on finding that useless butler? You talk and talk but do nothing!” she snapped.Meanwhile inside the mansion
Rhoda sat forward on the couch, arms folded tightly as her eyes drilled into Marshall. Her voice carried a sharp edge of panic masked as anger.“How do you even plan on finding that useless butler? You talk and talk but do nothing!” she snapped.Marshall exhaled slowly, frustration already creasing his forehead. “I’ve made a few calls already. I’m waiting for feedback. The moment I hear anything, I’ll act.”Rhoda laughed bitterly. “And what if we’re kicked out before your big ‘feedback’ comes? What happens then, Marshall?” She leaned closer, voice rising, “Where will we go? What will we eat? Or do you expect us to beg Cordelia?”Marshall clenched his jaw, but he didn’t lash out. He st
