"Sophia! What on earth are you doing here?” Olivia Lancaster burst into the café.“Everyone’s been looking for you!"Before Sophia could respond, Olivia grabbed her arm with an impatient grip."Grandmother wants to see you. Now," she demanded, her tone dripping with irritation.Taken aback by her cousin’s abruptness, Sophia pulled her arm free. "Olivia, what’s going on? Why are you acting like this?"Olivia scoffed, crossing her arms. "Don’t play innocent. You disappear when the family needs you most? Typical.""Disappear?" Sophia echoed. "I wasn’t aware anyone needed me.""Maybe if you paid attention to something other than yourself, you’d know," Olivia snapped.Alex glanced between them. "Perhaps you should explain what’s happening."Olivia shot him a withering look. "You loser, this is a family matter. Stay out of it."Sophia squared her shoulders. "Alex is my husband. Anything involving me involves him.""Fine," Olivia huffed. "Just hurry up. You’re holding everyone else back."Re

"Quickly, Sophia! Kelly Kingston only gave us ten minutes." Amelia grabbed Sophia's hand and hurried her toward the hall.Earlier, Amelia had persuaded one of the board executives to delay Kelly's departure, convincing her to wait just a few more minutes.Now, as they entered the hall, Kelly was already preparing to leave."Miss Kingston!" Sophia called out urgently.“My grandmother wanted me to inform you that I’ve been appointed CEO of Lancaster Group. I’ll be handling the partnership with Kingston Group directly. We hope you’ll consider giving us another chance.”Kelly turned, "Well, if you're personally managing Lancaster Group as CEO, then there's no issue. But let me be clear—if anyone else steps in, the deal is off.”“This partnership isn't a game where you can place just anyone in charge without competence." Her gaze shifted sharply toward Amelia and the Lancaster team, a clear warning evident."Thank you so much, Miss Kingston," Sophia said sincerely.It almost felt as though

"Lyra, where have you been? You left the table ages ago."Oscar's voice cut through the soft chatter of the banquet hall as he approached, his eyes darting suspiciously between her and Alex.He noticed how closely she stood to Alex, a subtle lean that made Oscar's jaw tighten.Lyra turned to face him, her expression shifting from sultry to cool indifference. "Must I report my every move to you, Oscar?"He bristled."Well, we came here together, didn’t we?" His tone was laced with jealousy.Oscar had pursued Lyra for years, longing to win over one of Vancouver’s most renowned beauties.Their relationship had seemed promising, especially after he’d invested in her business.Alex observed the exchange, noting the swift transformation in Lyra's demeanor—from a seductive vixen to a poised, unyielding queen—as she confronted Oscar.Now he clearly understood why people said a man wants a lady in the streets and a freak in the sheets."That doesn't give you the right to question me," Lyra rep

"It's working," Lyra whispered, her voice barely audible.Her father, Joe Thompson, with some effort, managed to sit up. He swung his legs over the side of the bed."It's like a miracle," he murmured.Lyra captured each precious moment on video, her mind racing with possibilities.This was more than she had ever dared to hope for.For the wealthy, nothing was more priceless than their health."Father, I'll go call Mom," Lyra said, standing up.She quietly left the room, her heart pounding with excitement.Meanwhile, Joe glanced at the smartphone beside his bed.After being confined for so long, his mind was churning with thoughts. Taking a deep breath, he dialed a number he hadn't called in years."Alfred Kingston?" he said when the line connected."Joe Thompson?" Alfred's voice held a note of shock.Joe had once been his fiercest competitor in Vancouver. "I heard you were bedridden after a stroke.""My daughter obtained a medicine from a legendary doctor known as 'God's Hand.' I'm he

Josephine stood over the sizzling stovetop in the restaurant's kitchen, the familiar aroma of sautéed vegetables and spices filling the air.With the old staff rehired, she no longer had to shoulder every responsibility alone.Four dedicated workers bustled around her, two of whom were seasoned cooks from the previous ownership.In this small, struggling mining town, employment was a rare blessing, and the camaraderie in the kitchen warmed her heart."Hey, Jo, where did that handsome helper disappear to? I haven’t seen him these past few days," Shirley asked, a playful glint in her eyes as she wiped down the counter."How should I know?" she replied with a casual shrug. "His ex-wife showed up, and he left with her.""Did he say if he's coming back?" Shirley pressed."Not a word," Josephine said, a hint of irritation creeping into her voice. "Honestly, I'm considering letting him go.""Oh, don't be hasty!" Shirley protested. "It's not every day we get someone that easy on the eyes arou

Alex stood before the weathered facade of the old eight-story apartment building, clutching the worn postcard Ruth Everheart had given him—the only clue to his forgotten past.The faded letters read, "813."Climbing the creaking stairs to the eighth floor, he found the door marked with the same number. He knocked firmly but received no response.Just then, the door of the neighboring unit, 812, creaked open. An elderly man peered out, his eyes clouded with age."No one's lived there in years," he rasped. "Place has been empty as long as I can remember.""Thank you," Alex replied, offering a polite nod.As the old man shuffled away, Alex turned back to the door. Taking a deep breath, he carefully picked the lock and slipped inside.Dust motes danced in the slivers of sunlight piercing through the drawn curtains. The air was thick, heavy with neglect.Alex moved cautiously through the dimly lit rooms, his footsteps echoing softly on the worn wooden floors.In the bedroom, he stopped sho

Josephine met the officer's gaze, anger simmering beneath her steady demeanor."I know all of you are taking bribes from Carlo, silencing anyone who dares speak out against his mine poisoning our town and making people sick.""Watch your mouth, lady," the officer sneered. "Stick to the charges and stop throwing around baseless accusations."It was no secret that every cop in this mining town was on Carlo's payroll, turning a blind eye for a fat envelope and a promise of more.She squared her shoulders, refusing to back down. "I'd rather face false charges than be coerced into anything by you or Carlo."The officer's expression darkened.Stepping forward, he grabbed a fistful of her hair, yanking her head back sharply. "You'd better take the offer while I'm being nice," he hissed, his grip tightening painfully.Instead of cowering, Josephine locked eyes with him and spat in his face. "You're the real criminal here."Rage twisted his features as he wiped the spit from his cheek.He rais

When Alex returned Josephine to the orphanage, Ruth and the children were anxiously gathered near the doorway, their faces lighting up at the sight of her.As she stepped inside, the younger kids rushed forward, wrapping their small arms around her waist."Big sister Jo, we were so worried!" one of them exclaimed, tears glistening in her eyes."Did they hurt you?" another asked, his voice trembling.Josephine knelt down, enveloping them in a warm embrace. "I'm okay, really," she assured them softly. "Everything's alright now."Rudyard stood a little apart from the group, his eyes meeting Alex's."Thank you for bringing her back.”Alex smiled gently, placing a reassuring hand on the boy's shoulder."You did the right thing by calling me. You helped save her."The boy's face brightened with a mix of pride and relief.As the children led Josephine inside, chattering excitedly, she turned back to glance at Alex lingering by the doorway."Aren't you coming in?" she asked, a hint of somethi

It was an evening at the Vermont Club—a sanctuary reserved exclusively for those who held Vermont's true reins of power.In the lavish hall, beneath chandeliers that scattered golden light, people sipped cocktails, pretending to enjoy the music while secretly plotting their next move, scheming how to slice the largest portion from the governor’s pie.Bella Kane slumped onto the velvet sofa, chin resting listlessly in her palms.In front of her, a lively group of youths laughed and sang, their voices echoing mockingly around her indifferent ears.Across the room, grey-haired power brokers exchanged cunning whispers, eyes narrowed with hidden agendas."Bella," Scarlett sighed impatiently from beside her, "your father tasked you to charm Kelly Kingston on behalf of the Kane family. So why are you sulking here like a deflated balloon?"Scarlett's voice was tinged with irritation and bewilderment.Ever since recovering from her illness, Bella had transformed from the fierce rock-and-roll q

Jasmine strode forward, her heels clicking like gunshots across the polished marble floor, eyes blazing with barely restrained fury as she confronted Henry Dupont.“Careful, Henry,” she warned, her voice icy but edged with fire.“Accusations without proof could burn you alive.”Henry threw his head back and laughed bitterly, the sound cutting through the murmurs of anticipation like a razor blade.“Oh, isn't she priceless?” He swung around to face the crowd, his voice rising sharply, deliberately loud enough for everyone to hear clearly.“Do you all hear this nonsense? Last month, Kingston Pharmaceutical’s chief of medical research and his elite team lost all faith in Jasmine Kingston's sham leadership and abandoned ship. Who could blame them?”“Those brilliant minds took the SkinDew patent—legally theirs—and fled to Kane Pharmaceutical.”“They perfected SkinDew there, away from Jasmine's incompetence!” Henry sneered dramatically, relishing every scathing word.He jabbed an accusing f

“The Emerald Elixir is dangerous?” Murmurs erupted like wildfire, spreading panic and suspicion through the hall.At the heart of the disruption stood a police officer, rotund with arrogance and disdain plainly painted on his flushed, perspiring face.His voice boomed obnoxiously, a smug sneer twisting his lips, “When I declare something dangerous, you better believe it's deadly!”Jasmien’s eyes widened in shock, her heart plunging to her stomach.This was a disaster she hadn't anticipated.An incident like this at her meticulously arranged press conference spelled doom.Even if the product was later proven harmless, Kingston Pharmaceutical’s reputation still hung by a thread.The media would pounce first—and by the time the truth surfaced, the damage would already be irreversible. The stain on their name could outlast the facts, lingering like a shadow.The word “dangerous” echoed ominously, branding the Elixir with a toxic stigma—a curse that could doom its commercial future.From a

Charles stormed toward Jasmine's hall, only to halt abruptly, his jaw dropping in disbelief.The hall was already swarming, packed so tightly it seemed to ripple with anticipation.People jostled for seats, their excitement palpable, like sharks sensing blood.Staff scrambled to form a protective barricade around Dr. Joane, who stood serenely conversing with Alex, entirely indifferent to the seething crowd pressing closer.Jasmine watched gleefully, a predatory smile tugging at her lips.Clearly, using Dr. Joane as bait had worked far better than she'd dared hope.Standing tall, Jasmine seized a microphone, her voice ringing like polished steel through the restless chatter."Thank you all for your overwhelming enthusiasm. Unfortunately, due to the sheer number gathered here today, only our top ten customers will have the exclusive honor of consulting directly with Dr. Joane."She gestured grandly to the eager faces, eyes gleaming with triumph."For now, please find your seats. Our pre

At that precise moment, the grandeur of Dupont’s event erupted into full bloom.The massive double doors swung open, and a wave of guests surged inside, voices rising with excitement as they scrambled to claim their seats.The atmosphere crackled with electric anticipation.Henry Dupont scanned the rapidly growing crowd, a smug, triumphant smile stretching across his face.They had finally outsmarted Kingston, beating them to the punch.Even Kingston's desperate, last-minute attempt at hosting their conference across the way was doomed from the start.Without guests, it was little more than a pathetic joke.Henry chuckled darkly, his heart swelling with arrogant satisfaction.The lord of Chicago had decisively won this round.Everything was unfolding flawlessly.By day's end, SkinDew Essence would dominate headlines and conversations, spreading like wildfire.Whatever scraps Kingston might later produce would simply languish in the shadow of his glorious success.His ambitious vision—

Only after Jasmine had disappeared into the crowd did Charles finally register her words, fury igniting inside him like a wildfire.“Absolute nonsense!” he snarled, his face twisting in contempt."SkinDew Essence is practically gold dust right now! People are begging on their knees, throwing money at us just to get a single drop. Your pathetic jealousy is showing, Jasmine!"His voice was dripping venom, disdain echoing in every syllable.But Jasmine had already dismissed him entirely.She gracefully looped her arm through Alex’s, her face serene with confidence, as they vanished into the empty hall.“Hmph! She really has no grasp of reality!” Charles spat bitterly, eyes narrowing viciously as he watched them vanish."Pathetic—just scrambling desperately to make trouble as a final act of desperation! Soon enough, the Duponts will crush her underfoot. And when the lawsuits pour in over her half-baked product, she’ll beg for mercy!"Meanwhile, the Texas Interstate Convention Hall steadil

Now that SkinDew Essence had slipped through Kingston Pharmaceuticals’ fingers, the family simmered with resentment.But Charles saw more than loss; he glimpsed an opportunity—one that, if seized boldly enough, could catapult him straight past Jasmine, cementing his authority once and for all.“Charles,” Jessica said carefully, watching her son's eyes glint with ambition, “Jasmine’s already got a new product ready to launch. Don’t you think betting everything we have might be reckless?”“Mother,” Charles scoffed bitterly, rolling his eyes, “Jasmine’s just bluffing. Whatever she's cooked up can only be some pathetic imitation scraped together from our leftover research data.”“Sure, Alex might have a knack for patching up bodies, but this is pharmaceutical science, not some street-level stitching.”“Without real professors backing them, they’re just throwing darts blindfolded. Besides, SkinDew’s patent is firmly in Jericho’s grasp now—and he's already sold it off to that Chicago lord.”

“Dr. Joane,” Jasmine purred with a coy smirk, leaning forward with predatory grace.“This information is our company's deepest secret. But, if you're willing to join us formally, I'll gladly reveal the mastermind behind Emerald Elixir—provided he's willing to show his hand.”“You certainly know how to play your cards, don’t you?” Joane retorted bitterly, recognizing Jasmine’s carefully laid trap.“Alright, hand me the damn contract. I'll sign.”Jasmine’s secretary swiftly produced the document, and Joane scrawled her signature, sealing her fate.Meanwhile, Jasmine cast a mischievous glance toward Alex, eyes glinting with cunning amusement. “Can I reveal the genius behind our elixir now?”Alex scowled faintly, irritated by Jasmine’s blatant manipulation.Clearly, she viewed him as nothing more than bait to ensnare Dr. Joane.“Fine,” Alex sighed resignedly. “Given my stake in this venture, I suppose I can't refuse.”“Thanks, Alex. I keep owing you more and more,” Jasmine teased, winking

An hour earlier, Sophia had stepped quietly out of the hospital doors, a ghostly shadow haunted by restless thoughts.For days, she'd kept her family at arm's length, erecting an invisible barrier around her wounded heart.Her soul felt raw, tormented by relentless doubts about Alex.Perhaps she had always been unfair, perhaps she should have trusted him sooner.After all, their marriage was already torn to shreds; yet, somewhere deep inside, she knew Alex deserved an apology far greater than her pride allowed.Paying a discreet detective employed by her family, Sophia easily uncovered the small clinic Alex ran near the slums.Guided by the instructions of her GPS, she drove slowly through the grimy streets, her eyes hollow with anticipation and dread.As she approached, the sight of bodyguards patrolling the perimeter, stern-faced and vigilant, set her pulse racing.Her heart twisted painfully upon glimpsing Jasmine standing intimately close to Alex, radiating confidence and allure.
