Chapter 1106 Natalie smiled, a genuine, unburdened expression of pure joy. She was finally having the New Year she always wanted. Her grandfather and her three brothers weren’t here, but she was still deeply happy. Keith and Tyler finished setting up the massive firework display. Luna jumped up and down
Chapter 1105 Keith gazed at her stunning face, her eyes filled with playful disappointment, and chuckled. “It’s fine. We’re not short on cash. As long as you’re having fun. You didn’t win, but you’re definitely in high spirits.” She had spent the entire night laughing and joking, practically giving her
Chapter 1104 Sophia knew she couldn’t push Joanna too far. If her daughter’s company went under, they would all end up starving on the streets. “Okay, okay, whatever you say,” Sophia agreed frantically. “I’ll do exactly as you say. I’ll make sure your brother never sets foot in a casino
Chapter 1103 Joanna stared at her paralyzed legs, a suffocating wave of despair crashing over her. “What good is a brother like that? He’s a complete loser. You’re the only one who treats him like gold.” “To you, I’m just a walking ATM. I’ll never matter as much as your
Chapter 1102 No, this couldn’t be real. She covered her face, sobbing as she shook her head frantically. “No… this is impossible. I was supposed to be the richest one. How did I lose everything? This wasn’t supposed to happen…” “Stop whining and move!” the bulky man barked, reaching for
Chapter 1101 Sophia Peterson refused to go with them. The two men standing in front of her were pure trouble. The bulky man had a green dragon tattooed on his arm, and his predatory gaze swept over her with malicious intent. “If you don’t explain yourselves, I’m not going anywhere,”
Chapter 284 Brinley didn’t even glance at the wad of cash. Her voice cut through the night air, sharp and cold as her steady gaze. “You were drunk while driving and caused this accident. Every consequence is on you—no excuses.” Colin watched the frost harden in her eyes and chimed
Chapter 283 Brinley had safely dropped Corbin off at his apartment, watching him disappear through the entrance before pulling away into the night. Her return journey wound through a desolate stretch of road where streetlights cast faint pools of light, barely piercing the darkness. Her headlights struggled to illuminate the
Chapter 282 Jaylynn’s hand halted midair, her heart skipping a beat. She spun around, her complexion draining to a ghostly pallor as she spotted Brinley framed in the doorway. Hastily withdrawing her hand, Jaylynn plastered on a strained smile. “Mrs. Moore? W-what brings you back so soon?” The other secretaries
Chapter 281 Ending the call, she lifted her gaze toward the front. “Drive faster.” Through the rearview mirror, Miguel caught the glint of frost in her eyes. He straightened at once, pressing the accelerator without daring to question her. “Got it.” The car sped toward Shaw Group headquarters, the tension
Chapter 280 “Stop it.” Brinley batted Austin’s hand away, then rose to her feet and straightened her clothes. “I really need to get back to the office—there are contracts piling up on my desk waiting for my signature.” Instead of pressing further, Austin smoothed the rumpled collar of her blouse
Chapter 279 She took her time with a sip of soup, her lips quirking. “One minute you’re tearing into them, and the next, you’re all smiles with me. With a talent for switching faces that fast, you should pursue an acting career.” Austin let out a low chuckle and tapped
Chapter 278 Brinley swallowed her mouthful of meat, then glanced at the table overflowing with delicacies. With a soft sigh, she murmured, “There’s far too much here. How could the two of us possibly finish it all?” Unbothered, Austin reached over and set more food on her plate. “I’d rather
Chapter 277 At Austin’s words, Miguel let out a faint cough, unable to contain himself. The sound jogged something in Brinley’s memory. She suddenly recalled Miguel’s exaggerated anxiousness as he’d walked her all the way up. Were these two messing with her? Brinley’s expression darkened as she slowly withdrew her
Chapter 275 Brinley tore through three red lights on her way to Moore Group headquarters, her pulse racing faster than the car itself. From a distance, she spotted Miguel standing anxiously outside the revolving glass doors, his posture betraying the weight of his worry. The moment she pulled up, she
Chapter 276 His eyes fluttered open, the faintest shadow of relief in them. “Brinley… you came.” The words rasped from his throat, fragile as smoke. He tried to lift a hand toward her face, but the effort collapsed halfway, his arm falling weakly beside him. Something in Brinley’s chest twisted
Chapter 274 “Mr. Moore, you really should get some rest,” Miguel said, unable to hold back. “There’s no need,” Austin replied firmly. “Work cannot be delayed.” Miguel sighed, knowing persuasion was futile. With no choice left, he left the office to carry out his tasks. The office fell silent again.
Chapter 273 Brinley set her phone aside and drew in a steadying breath. She flipped open her laptop, pulled up the latest progress report for VantagePath Realty, and began mapping out the key tasks that needed to be tackled over the coming month. Meanwhile, the atmosphere inside Moore Group’s massive
Chapter 272 The board member cast a glance at Brinley and continued. “Mrs. Moore, it’s not a matter of lacking faith in you. We simply feel more comfortable exercising discretion in this matter. For this month, step back from Shaw Group’s main operations and focus on steering VantagePath Realty toward
Chapter 271 Brinley wrapped up the most pressing tasks on her list and checked the clock. Less than thirty minutes remained before Shaw Group’s board meeting was set to begin. She pressed the intercom and instructed firmly, “Corbin, you’re coming with me to Shaw Group.” Corbin froze for a second
