Chapter 330 Chapter 330: The Development Department meeting was this afternoon. Perfect time to test her theory—knock out Lance and see what happened. Smirking to herself, Elliana returned to the top floor. There stood Myles, Aron, and Hugh, looking like nervous sentries outside the CEO’s office. She walked up to

Chapter 328 Chapter 328: At this, Cole let out a dry laugh. “But don’t you think we’re actually taking things far too slowly here? What kind of man gets to hold and kiss his wife but can’t—” He stopped himself and then groaned. “Honey, you’re driving me crazy p> Elliana
Chapter 327 Chapter 327: Just thinking of River lit up Lance’s face. River was a legend in the world of AI. Back in college, Lance had looked up to River more than anyone. His professors, seniors—everyone saw River as a genius. River was the god of AI research in their
Chapter 326 Chapter 326: Elliana set her utensils down, her gaze sharp. “Have you lost your mind? Why keep spouting nonsense like some drunkard p> “You!” Lance’s face turned red. “Don’t you dare mock me! I graduated from a top university! I’m an AI development expert with an IQ of

Chapter 322 Chapter 322: Heat flushed Helga’s face, her nerves unraveling as she stammered, “I-I’m sorry, Mr. Evans. I’ll fix everything right away p> “Too late.” Cole’s voice turned glacial. “Head to finance, pick up your last check, and don’t show your face in Ublento again p> Her panic flared
Chapter 321 Chapter 321: Elliana’s gaze dropped to the name tag pinned neatly on Helga’s chest. The label gave her pause—Helga was no bottom-rung staffer. She headed the secretarial department. That detail hit hard. This woman reported directly to Cole. Was Cole really this relaxed about his team’s professionalism? Still
Chapter 320 Chapter 320: Aron shook his head. “They really think a stunt like this is their ticket to the top. These trends have a way of backfiring in the worst ways p> While the two shared their skepticism, Helga Garza, the imposing head of the secretarial department, marched into
Chapter 319 Chapter 319: Elliana made zero effort to tone herself down.

Chapter 317 Chapter 317: Cole slouched into the cushions, letting Elliana shower him with kisses, his bad mood dissolving beneath her touch. Everyone else watched in mute disbelief, the whole scene feeling almost surreal. Just hours before, the air inside the villa had been so charged with Cole’s anger that
Chapter 316 Chapter 316: Cole brooded on the sofa, his gaze thunderous and unyielding. Gripping a long whip, he seemed to radiate an icy, suffocating energy that drove every last servant to scatter like leaves in a storm. Myles, Aron, and Hugh stood rigid to the side, hardly daring to
Chapter 315 Chapter 315: When Elliana finally pushed back her chair, the night outside had deepened to pitch black. By the time she pulled into Regal Grove, the clock had just struck midnight. A strange hush enveloped the entire estate. Assuming Cole had already fallen asleep, Elliana slipped out of
Chapter 314 Chapter 314: His joy evaporated, replaced by a cold, sullen quiet. The world around him seemed to darken, every shadow in the night deepening with his disappointment.
