Chapter 546 Once David had left, a deep silence settled in. Everyone was gone, including her. And it was likely she wouldn’t return. The world seemed eerily quiet around Michael, as if no other sounds would ever reach his world again. All that remained was the sound of his own
Chapter 545 David took a careful look at her and found that she appeared very calm. She didn’t seem surprised by the outcome, as if she had anticipated this result all along. David suddenly had an ominous premonition. As expected, the thought had barely formed in his mind when it

Chapter 543 Lost in thought, the doorknob turned gently, and the next second, Adrian opened the door and walked in. When their eyes met, Adrian was taken aback, probably not expecting her to be awake so early. Moreover, she hadn’t gone out, and was simply sitting on the bed looking
Chapter 542 With this thought, Eva couldn’t help but want to glare at Adrian. “It’s all your fault p> “Hmm?” Adrian replied. “I suggested we go back yesterday. If we had left then, we wouldn’t be stuck here today p> Adrian silently looked at her for a long while. “Maybe

Chapter 539 Actually, there was nothing particularly special about this pen. When Emily bought the gifts, she didn’t play favorites; the two pens she gave were of equal value, just different in style. The assistant’s pen, which he had received earlier, was already worn out from use. Since he had
Chapter 538 “What is the reason then? Is it because other conditions are not good? If a raise doesn’t work, how about a promotion p> Emily truly didn’t understand what was going on. “Do you have any other requests? Just say them p> Emily pursed her lips, unsure if it
Chapter 537 Despite what she had been told, Eva found herself without any recollection of the events Emily spoke of, but Emily’s tone sounded so hopeful. Eva felt a bit embarrassed and at a loss for words on how to respond to her. Sensing her silence, Emily seemed to understand
Chapter 536 Could it be that something had happened between them in the past? Of course, Eva didn’t ask this directly because she felt that even if she did, Adrian probably wouldn’t tell her. Better to wait and talk about it later. They found a hotel nearby that wasn’t too
Chapter 535 Afterward, Eva left with Adrian. Once she was gone, David stood still as the man who had served them coffee and treats approached him and recounted the events that had transpired inside. David listened quietly; his face expressionless even after the account was finished. Seeing no reaction from
Chapter 534 Indeed, Michael was at fault. No, he was terribly at fault, but since David had previously benefited from his favor, he would only think of helping him to reform and would not side with outsiders to confront him. Adrian could clearly sense David’s resistant attitude toward him, and
Chapter 533 “No,” Adrian denied, “I do trust you p> Eva retorted, “You’re lying. If you really trusted me, why would you rush to speak right after, clearly not wanting to hear my answer p> Her words laid bare Adrian’s inner turmoil, clear and sharp, with nothing hidden. Adrian pursed
Chapter 532 Learning that an additional application of medicine was allowed, Eva administered another dose to Adrian’s wound before they set off.

Chapter 531 There was a hint of amusement in his voice, and even though Eva knew he was teasing her, she couldn’t help but want to defend herself. “I’m not in a hurry p> Adrian continued to laugh, “I know, you’re not in a hurry p> Eva: p> In a
Chapter 530 “Mom, nobody would be separated because we’re all family,” Eva reassured her. Margaret embraced her. “You’re right, we are all family. Since we are a family, there’s no need to fuss over each other like strangers. I’ll just take a car by myself. It’s only a few hours’
Chapter 529 Perhaps she was being cruel to Michael but with things turning out this way, she felt helpless and thought that maybe she was just a selfish person. She didn’t have the capacity to please many people; her heart was too small, too limited, and she only had the
