Chapter 1126 Mrs. Naylor watched the scene unfold, then glanced at her disappointing son with a heavy sigh and a shake of her head. Healy didn’t dare say a word. Noreen barely managed to hold it together until the song ended. She quickly withdrew her hand and made a hasty
Chapter 1125 Seth was wearing a dark gray bespoke suit accented by icy sapphire cufflinks, every crease looking precisely measured. Even the sound of his dress shoes against the carpet was so soft it bordered on restrained, yet it completely dominated the room. The moment he stepped forward, low gasps
Chapter 1124 So she didn’t mind and told Mrs. Naylor not to take the incident to heart. Mrs. Naylor was deeply touched, her affection for Noreen growing even stronger. At the same time, her regret deepened. Right after Noreen walked away, Healy Naylor approached his mother and asked why she
Chapter 1123 The moment Noreen returned to the banquet hall, she was intercepted by Mrs. Archer. The older woman pulled her aside, her attitude painfully eager. “Noreen, please consider what I mentioned earlier. If you’re open to it, I can arrange a meeting with my nephew. He’s very handsome and
Chapter 1122 There was no way Seth was letting her go, murmuring a vague refusal against her skin. “Give me a few more minutes.” “How long is a few minutes?” Noreen didn’t trust him. She knew exactly how clingy this man could be. Even a simple kiss could turn into
Chapter 1121 “As for Mrs. Chase’s brother, he had a kid with the housekeeper’s daughter but refused to acknowledge her because of her low status.” Seth Harcourt left no room for mercy, exposing all their dirty laundry. It was terribly rude. Noreen Gilmore could easily tell the man was drowning
Chapter 1120 Watching Mrs. Naylor walk away, Gia felt a sickening plunge in her stomach. Jason looked equally horrified. Noreen’s utterly uncompromising rejection had backed him into a catastrophic corner. Right now, Solara Energy desperately needed Winrich’s new tech to seize the market. Other tech firms were lagging far behind
Chapter 1119 She thought of everything she had sacrificed just to secure a footing in this social circle—the forced smiles, the endless networking, the countless humiliations she swallowed whole. But Noreen didn’t have to lift a finger, and she had the entire city singing her praises. Gia couldn’t fathom why
Chapter 1118 Mrs. Naylor was in an excellent mood, beaming from ear to ear. “The very first time I met Noreen, I knew she was something special. She had incredible vision, spoke with total composure, and not only is she stunning, but she’s brilliant too. I just absolutely adored her.”
Chapter 1117 He immediately contacted Healy Naylor and invited him to lunch. When Healy arrived, Gia was already there. She just looked incredibly uncomfortable.

Chapter 1116 Silas absolutely refused to accept his excuse. “Resignation denied! You and your team have one week to deliver a satisfactory solution!” “That is an order!” He had dumped a massive fortune into InnoCore, and he refused to let those millions of dollars go up in smoke! But Holt’s
Chapter 1115 The two locations weren’t far apart, so Noreen arrived quite early. As she stepped into The Half-Light Club and was about to call Seth, she spotted him walking toward the VIP private rooms. Putting her phone away, she unhurriedly trailed behind him. Just as she was about to
Chapter 1114 The silence in the room was suffocating. The last drops of color vanished from Crystal’s face. Her lips trembled, but she couldn’t force a single word out. Seth didn’t spare her another glance. As he turned away, he left one final warning hanging in the air. “From now
Chapter 1113 The moment Crystal’s words dropped, the temperature in the room plunged below freezing. Only Gia, hidden in the shadows, let a subtle, unnoticeable smirk touch her lips. This was shaping up to be quite a spectacular show. She wanted Healy to hear exactly how shameful Noreen’s past was.
Chapter 1112 Jude barely fought back the urge to roll his eyes. He tried to phrase it tactfully. “I’m afraid that’s not possible. Our boss has a terrible temper, and his words can be absolutely ruthless.” Crystal was unfazed. “Business is business. We can negotiate however he likes. Plus, I
Chapter 1111 Crystal Chelsea had never been so publicly humiliated in her entire life. The color drained from her face, and she clenched her fists so hard her knuckles turned white, barely suppressing the urge to tremble. Gia Vance offered a gentle, comforting out. “Don’t take it to heart. If
Chapter 1110 Jude quickly filled in the blanks. “Wade Harcourt wrote that will because he was worried Noreen’s startup might fail. He wanted to secure her future and eventually bring her into the Harcourt Group.” “No one expected her not only to succeed but to build an empire that rivals
Chapter 1109 Noreen texted back saying she had a business dinner and couldn’t make it. Jude felt his soul leave his body. At first, the vibe in the room was fine. The guys chatted and drank. Seth remained motionless on the sofa, his arm draped over his eyes, completely ignoring
Chapter 1108 “I don’t care what you have to do! Even if you have to stand in the pouring rain outside Winrich Tower and beg, you will secure this deal! If you fail, I am kicking you out of this company!” Gia flinched, all the blood draining from her face.
Chapter 1107 Following the police press release, Winrich launched a coordinated PR counter- attack across every major platform. They dropped a devastating thirty-page investigative report, and public opinion completely reversed overnight. Internally, the culture shifted immediately. A few anonymous accounts started posting the truth online: Winrich never forced unpaid overtime,
