She was clearly in an excellent mood. “I just added Ryan,” Charlotte said. “Would you mind exchanging numbers
Chapter 389 [ 1,457 words ] Charlotte frowned slightly. When her family had first told her they wanted her to meet Ryan, she had been anything but enthusiastic. She’d even done her own research. That hadn’t gotten her very far. Ryan’s personal information was heavily protected, and he rarely appeared
Chapter 388 [ 1,658 words ] Margaret’s sudden warmth sent a chill down Rose’s spine. Things between her and the Knight family had already fallen apart. Margaret knew about Ariel, too. She knew Rose had a daughter with the Robinson family. So why was she suddenly being so kind? Rose
Chapter 387 [ 1,608 words ] Rose could only let out a quiet sigh. “I’m the one who dragged your family into this mess in the first place. I don’t have the right to be angry.” She wasn’t being unreasonable. Ryan’s decision to pressure Trevor into backing out of the
Chapter 386 [ 1,458 words ] Rose hadn’t expected to hear about Ryan’s attitude from Alicia. She knew Ryan wasn’t particularly interested in her romantic life, but hearing everything that had happened the night before spelled out so bluntly still made her uncomfortable. “Yeah. That’s true.” Rose couldn’t fault Alicia
Chapter 385 [ 1,569 words ] Trevor’s eyes were unusually clear. He looked straight at Rose, and for once, there was none of his usual restraint or polished composure in his expression. Rose paused. She met his gaze, then calmly screwed the cap back onto the bottle and slipped it
Chapter 384 [ 1,391 words ] Shuan was practically glowing. He had clearly taken a liking to his new niece-in-law, and the thought of Rose and Trevor becoming a real couple seemed to delight him. He had no idea about Rose and Ryan’s complicated history. As far as he was
Chapter 383 [ 1,353 words ] Trevor had always been a serious, reserved man. Even on the best of days, he rarely smiled. Romance wasn’t exactly his territory, and a soft, affectionate tone was even more out of character for him. So when Ryan heard that voice through the phone,
Chapter 382 [ 1,159 words ] A fleeting sadness crossed Alicia’s face, but it disappeared almost immediately. She brightened and smiled at Ryan, revealing the dimples at the corners of her mouth—dimples that bore a faint resemblance to Rose’s. “I don’t think you’re much of a fan of crowded parties
Chapter 381 [ 1,478 words ] Rose barely reacted. There wasn’t even a flicker of emotion on her face. She looked as calm as if she had just finished dinner or taken a sip of water. That, more than anything, stunned the people around her. Before anyone had time to
Chapter 380 [ 1,137 words ] Perhaps it was the intensity of Ryan’s gaze, but Rose felt strangely provoked by it. She frowned slightly, unable to understand what he was trying to do. Before she could think about it any further, the people around them had already turned the situation
Chapter 379 [ 1,482 words ] Rose stared at Trevor in disbelief. She had assumed he had come to the bidding simply because he didn’t want to make a major decision behind her back. She’d thought he wanted her to know exactly what was happening. She never imagined he would
Chapter 378 [ 1,181 words ] Ryan was dressed in a perfectly tailored suit, but with his leg still injured, he could only get around comfortably in a wheelchair. Even so, everyone who approached him lowered themselves slightly when speaking to him, their respect almost instinctive. His expression remained stern

Yet somehow, a chain of events had already begun pushing the Taylor and Robinson families toward dissolving the engagement. Both families had been forced to sit
Chapter 376 [ 1,303 words ] Grace already carried a deep-seated prejudice against Ryan. Year ago, she had seen firsthand how arrogant and smug Samantha—the woman who had always been at Ryan’s side—could be. And now that Grace had learned Rose was her granddaughter, those memories felt even more painful.
Chapter 375 [ 1,512 words ] It wasn’t that Oliver was trying to meddle. He simply couldn’t ignore what was happening. Year ago, when he’d asked Kevin at the television station to recommend the Hill family and Samantha for the show, he’d done it partly out of spite. He’d wanted
Chapter 374 [ 1,373 words ] Rose’s eyes flickered with surprise, but she quickly composed herself. “What?” Alicia looked at her as though she were gathering every ounce of courage she had. “Professor Bennett, you probably know a little about the Taylor family by now. You remember how Samantha was
Chapter 373 [ 1,456 words ] Rose couldn’t help frowning. She already knew there was no room for compromise. Sure enough, Ryan spoke first. “Mr. Robinson, there’s no need to keep treating me like some selfless hero.” His voice was calm. “I did save Ariel. That’s a fact. But if
Chapter 372 [ 1,461 words ] Seeing him move closer, Rose instinctively stepped back, her brows drawing together. “You really don’t need to dress up your cruelty and selfishness as concern for me. Whether Trevor is willing or not, that doesn’t give you the right to use me as a
Chapter 371 [ 1,281 words ] Rose hadn’t forgotten what happened before. Evan had nearly thrown all her belongings out of the house just to make room for Samantha. It wasn’t as though Samantha had never set foot in the Moonlake Villa after that. Rose had lived here for seven
