Chapter 330 [ 1,139 words ] Rose almost laughed out loud. Samantha’s confidence was astonishing. The smugness in her expression was no longer something she even tried to hide.

Chapter 329 [ 1,194 words ] Rose hadn’t expected to see Ryan outside the Byrne estate. Then again… It wasn’t difficult to guess why he was there. Samantha was probably waiting to leave with him. The image of the prenatal report flashed through Rose’s mind. A wave of revulsion rose

Chapter 328 [ 1,485 words ] Samantha’s voice remained soft and courteous. Anyone listening from a distance would have thought she was simply making a heartfelt request.

Chapter 327 [ 1,303 words ] Isabella was the first to notice Rose. Her eyes lit up with exaggerated surprise. “Well, look who’s here.” She smiled broadly. “It’s been forever.” Beside her, Selena turned to look as well. Her expression was much cooler. She slowly looked Rose up and down,

Chapter 326 [ 1,391 words ] She knew exactly what she was doing. She was asking Ryan to marry her. Under normal circumstances, Samantha would never have been the one to bring it up. She had always imagined Ryan would be the one to propose—that he would put a ring

Chapter 325 [ 1,274 words ] As Samantha stepped off the elevator, she nearly collided with Owen, who was striding briskly down the executive hallway with a tablet tucked under one arm. He stopped when he saw her. “Ms. Hill.” He offered a polite smile. “What brings you to Kingswell

Chapter 324 [ 1,352 words ] Samantha didn’t leave Sky High Technologies right away. Nor did she head upstairs for the shareholders’ meeting. Her heart was pounding so hard it almost hurt, but she forced herself to think rationally. She couldn’t rush to Ryan with nothing more than a suspicion.

Chapter 323 [ 1,402 words ] Samantha stopped trying to dance around the subject. There was no point anymore. If Ryan wasn’t going to understand what she wanted, she’d force him to hear it. “Ryan…” she said quietly. “When are we getting married?” The question hung between them. After everything

Chapter 322 [ 923 words ] Nathan stood on the porch with his hands in his jacket pockets, studying Ryan. Ryan met his gaze without a word. Whether he thought Nathan’s comment wasn’t worth answering—or simply didn’t care enough to respond—was impossible to tell. Nathan hadn’t expected an answer anyway.

Chapter 321 [ 1,130 words ] Rose’s refusal was immediate, almost instinctive, as if staying any longer might leave her with someone else’s bad luck. Ryan didn’t argue. He simply gave Derick a nod. “Then we’ll get out of your way.” He didn’t push the issue of the gift, and

Chapter 320 [ 1,058 words ] The word “fake” hit Daisy like a slap. “A fake?” she blurted. Her face drained of color. That couldn’t be right. She had personally taken the jade pendant from the Bennett family’s private collection. It wasn’t something displayed for customers. It had been locked

Chapter 319 [ 1,095 words ] Rose glanced at the caller ID on Dr. Grace’s phone. James Taylor. Even saved in her contacts, her grandson’s name was written in full. She checked the time. 10:00 p.m. Late for a phone call—unless it couldn’t wait. Across the room, Samantha’s lips curved

Chapter 318 [ 1,169 words ] Grace’s question hung in the room like a blade. There was no sidestepping it. No clever way to change the subject. Ryan met her unwavering gaze without the slightest flicker of emotion. Across the room, Rose went still. A bitter smile almost crossed her

Chapter 317 [ 1,097 words ] Rose immediately looked away. She finally understood why Ryan had told her he was busy when she’d called earlier. At the time, she’d assumed he was brushing her off. Now she knew better. He’d expected the Taylors to summon her. What she couldn’t figure

Chapter 316 [ 1,213 words ] Rose wasn’t surprised to see Ryan walk in. If anything, it made perfect sense. When it came to Samantha, no one took things more seriously than Ryan. The moment he entered, his gaze swept across the room. When his eyes landed on Rose, they

Chapter 315 [ 1,212 words ] No wonder Grace had asked Rose to come. Rose had been one of the people directly involved. Someone had tried to frame her for the crash, and Grace wanted her in the room when everyone laid their cards on the table. The accusation landed

Chapter 314 [ 1,271 words ] Daisy paused after hearing Samantha’s words. Her brows slowly knitted together. “Rose knows absolutely nothing,” she said thoughtfully. “That’s why she isn’t worried about exposing our plans.

Chapter 313 [ 1,232 words ] Rose was worried about Lucas. She insisted on taking him to the hospital for a full examination, just to be safe. From a doctor’s perspective, not every injury is visible. Internal trauma could be far more serious than cuts or bruises and might not

Chapter 312 [ 1,024 words ] Samantha hadn’t expected Ryan to support her so decisively. Ever since he had rejected her earlier that day, uneasiness had lingered in the back of her mind. She had wondered if something had changed. She had wondered whether Ryan was beginning to distance himself

Chapter 311 [ 1,051 words ] Samantha felt utterly miserable. The terror of nearly losing her life inside the out-of-control sedan still lingered, refusing to fade. Every time she closed her eyes, she could still hear the deafening screech of tires, the blaring horns, and the horrified screams echoing through
