Chapter 815 “I adore SUNNY’s designs. They’re actually so flattering for my curves.” Tabitha glanced toward the stage, which was still empty.

Chapter 812 Sophia didn’t care much either way. She wasn’t particularly interested in SUNNY’s fashion, mostly because she lived in athleisure for the convenience. But Shirley was a different story.

Chapter 809 “I don’t even know if a fight broke out,” Shirley lamented. She sounded genuinely regretful that she hadn’t been there to watch the drama unfold. “Still, the Byron family is so ruthless to call off the engagement at a time like this.” Claire glanced at her, guessing she
Chapter 808 The more understanding she acted, the guiltier York felt. “I’m sorry, Cindy,” York repeated. He added a silent promise in his heart: I will make this up to you in the future. Cindy managed a weak smile. “It’s fine, York. You’re forced into this. I need to take
Chapter 807 Cindy was still taking care of Lance when the devastating news hit her out of nowhere. “York, you’re joking with me, right?” She never expected that after waiting all these days, all she would get was him calling off their engagement. “Cindy, there’s no point in keeping this
Chapter 806 “By the way, I heard the Byron family broke off their engagement with Cindy.” Shirley couldn’t resist sharing the gossip with Claire. “Oh?” Although Claire had guessed the Byron family would do this, she didn’t expect it to happen so fast. “The Byron family wanted York to marry

Chapter 146 Finn Is Found Third POV The call ended with a soft click. Dorothy stared at the phone in Asher’s hand, her weathered face creased with disappointment. “She’s not coming back anytime soon, is she?” Dorothy asked quietly. Asher slipped the phone into his pocket. He tried to keep

Chapter 144 Staying Somewhere Else Third POV Asher hurried after her. “Grandmother, wait—” “Mom,” he whispered over his shoulder, “Grandmother cannot know that Finn is missing.” Jessie rolled her eyes. “I’m not stupid, Asher.” Even though as far as Dorothy was aware, Finn was merely Asher and Estelle’s adopted son,

Chapter 481 DESTINY DEMANDS SACRIFICE I worked carefully, pressing the ointment into Vito’s wounds one small section at a time. The room was quiet except for the candles and my own unsteady breathing. I didn’t fully understand everything that had happened, but I understood enough. His injuries had something to
Chapter 480 THE LAST BETRAYAL I had started to understand something about Vito , he couldn’t say no to me. Not really. He would press his lips together and look away and pretend he was considering it, but he always gave in. I don’t think he even realized he was
Chapter 479 HIS DARKEST SECRET I had no idea what was really waiting for me on the other side of Vito’s promise. All I knew was that he said I could go home once I felt better, so I threw everything I had into getting well. I drank the bitter
