Chapter 270 Chapter 270: Hailee whipped around, disbelief and outrage burning in her eyes. Of all places, Boris was having a blast at the Royal Club. She had spent countless nights working herself ragged there, pouring drinks for entitled men and scraping together every dollar for Boris’s endless “hospital bills
Chapter 269 Chapter 269: After hitting send, Elliana gave Hailee a subtle nod, telling her to stay composed and play along. Taking the cue, Hailee steadied herself and spoke into the phone. “I’m doing everything I can p> “Then move your ass!” Dunn shouted. “If you can’t scrape it up
Chapter 268 Chapter 268: Now, frozen in place, Hailee stared at her phone as Dunn’s name flashed insistently. The sound of it made her heart pound with dread. She didn’t know if she could bear to answer, or if picking up would only pull her deeper into the nightmare. Whenever
Chapter 267 Chapter 267: Hailee’s voice trembled as she remarked, “Elliana, you have to be wrong. The Boris you’re talking about… There’s no way he’s the same person I know. He can’t be p> Hailee clung to that desperate thread, determined to believe in the man she loved rather than
Chapter 266 Chapter 266: Hailee tried to convince herself her eyes were playing tricks on her. Maybe it was just the fatigue. Maybe her brain had conjured up a cruel illusion, something born from stress and overthinking. None of it could possibly be real. Gripping tightly to that illusion, she
Chapter 265 Chapter 265: “I need you to brace yourself,” Elliana said at last, her voice low and steady. “What I’m about to tell you about Boris… It’s not easy to hear. But you’ve got to promise me you’ll stay strong. No running, no breaking. Just look it in the
Chapter 264 Chapter 264: Elliana stood her ground, arm lifted in another enthusiastic wave, refusing to look away until the car was out of sight. Inside the vehicle, the tension gave way to collective disbelief. Seriously, it was just a few hours apart. Why was this couple behaving as if
Chapter 263 Chapter 263: Even then, Myles knew Cole hadn’t truly wanted Elliana to go. That much had been obvious. Figuring someone had to play the peacekeeper, he thought it might as well be him. If no one stepped in soon, things could spiral. Elliana might throw another verbal jab,
Chapter 262 Chapter 262: Cole’s eyes locked onto Myles, full of disdain. Myles pushed up his thick black glasses and forced a shaky smile. “Mr. Evans, I’m not trying to start my own thing p> He meant it. Being Cole’s assistant was far better than running some small-time startup. And
Chapter 261 Chapter 261: As they stood there frozen in confusion, the car window rolled down. Cole’s face appeared in the opening, sharp and visibly irritated. “What are you all gawking at p> The four men snapped to attention, eyes wide with alarm. Cole’s tone dropped colder. “What is going
Chapter 260 Chapter 260: Elliana turned and stared at Cole, her face pinched in confusion. Why had he stopped the car out of nowhere? Was Cole really throwing a fit over her subpar kissing skills? Cole leaned back in his seat, eyes closed, his expression as unreadable as stone. Without
Chapter 259 Chapter 259: Suddenly, Cole’s voice cut through the silence. “Get off.” His tone was tense, strained. Holding her like this was testing his limits, and he wasn’t sure how much longer he could resist. If she stayed, his self-control might snap. Without protest, Elliana slowly slid off his
Chapter 258 Chapter 258: He pulled her gently into his arms, one hand behind her head, and deepened the kiss with aching tenderness. That was when she pulled back abruptly. “Hey! Don’t move,” she said sharply, eyes narrowed in mock annoyance. Cole blinked, slightly breathless, leaning back into the seat
Chapter 257 Chapter 257: Elliana shot Cole an exasperated look. “Did you really have to be that harsh with a kid p> Cole let out a dry snort. “Kid? That so-called kid’s already plotting to swipe his cousin’s wife ten years from now. That little troublemaker’s got ambition and a
Chapter 256 Chapter 256: Though Trinity’s chest felt ready to burst, she kept her tone light. “Cole, I’ll convince Dr. Atkinson to allow everyone in the Evans family to attend the mentorship ceremony. You and Elliana can finally see for yourselves how incredible he is p> Trinity was determined to
Chapter 255 Chapter 255: Elliana sat through it, finding the scene more ridiculous by the second. She rubbed at her ears again, wondering how these people had grown so numb to Trinity’s transparent games after all these years. While she rolled her eyes in silence, she caught Cole watching her
Chapter 254 Chapter 254: Elliana reached up and rubbed her ears, visibly irritated by Trinity’s nonsense. The audacity of Trinity’s words left her stunned. Never before had Elliana encountered someone who could spew such outrageous lies just to inflate their own importance. The entire world buzzed with speculation about Milena’s
Chapter 253 Chapter 253: What really shocked Ruben was how fast it all happened. Just ten days ago, Cole couldn’t even look at Elliana. He had stormed out of the estate, refusing to share a room with her. But now, he couldn’t keep his hands to himself. And he wasn’t
Chapter 252 Chapter 252: Trinity had already bragged about meeting Dr. Atkinson, getting along, and winning him over. But this was the first time she’d described him. As she painted the picture, the room fell silent. Everyone leaned in. Even Ruben stayed quiet and listened. When she finished, Ruben gave
Chapter 251 Chapter 251: Cole now held the position of Evans patriarch, and when he disciplined a family member, Ruben refused to interfere, showing his respect for Cole’s ruling. Moreover, Ruben wholeheartedly endorsed Cole’s words. The Evans family had preserved their wealth and influence across generations through intelligence, courage, and
