Chapter 71 The question gnawed at Rain. Was it because she had truly moved on from Paul, or was she simply too overwhelmed by everything else happening in her life to dwell on the pain of his betrayal? Maybe it was a bit of both. Her life was a whirlwind

Chapter 70 Rain yawned again as she stepped into her apartment, trying to shake off the drowsiness. Clifford was sitting on the sofa, his expression dark, while Sanya was lounging next to him, engrossed in whatever was playing on the television. “You’re finally back,” Clifford remarked, his tone laced with

Chapter 69 Rain frowned at Alexander, her suspicion growing. “What’s with you?” she asked, unable to hide her curiosity. ’Was he always this inquisitive?’ she wondered. The man she remembered hearing about from Sanya was supposed to be an unbothered king, not someone prying into every detail. “The coffee’s still

Chapter 68 Madame Beck couldn’t believe how quickly everything had unravelled. In one night, she had not only lost her most promising entertainer but also her most generous client. “It all makes sense, but why does something still feel off?” she muttered, massaging her temples. Frustrated, she grabbed her phone

Chapter 67 Rain frowned as she glanced back. “You mean the cab? That’s Detective Brandon. Pull over,” she told Alexander. She hadn’t brought her mobile phone, so Brandon must have been worried when she suddenly left with Alexander. Alexander did as she said, and the cab also pulled over to

Chapter 66 Alexander couldn’t help but think, ’She should be an actress!’ as he watched Rain’s expertly feigned tears. It was impressive how easily she could make herself cry. “Your boss passed out after drinking the wine. I’m supposed to drink!” he grumbled. Rain, eyes still welling with fake tears,

Chapter 65 Alexander still couldn’t wrap his mind around how effortlessly Rain had managed to pull him into her scheme. Now, they were standing in a dimly lit hallway as a bouncer led them toward a private elevator that only Madame Beck could operate. The elevator doors slid open, and

Chapter 64 At Gentleman’s Club Alexander loosened his necktie and tossed it aside, feeling the weight of the night pressing down on him as he waited in the dimly lit VIP room. He had arrived earlier than usual at the Gentleman’s Club, intent on getting answers from Rain—answers she’d been

Chapter 63 Rain took a deep breath before entering the building. She walked directly to the office of Chief Prosecutor John Hart, her heart pounding with a mix of nerves and anticipation. She had heard a lot about him, and Brandon had reassured her that Chief Prosecutor Hart was a

Chapter 62 It had been a while since Alexander had slept in his bedroom at the ancestral mansion, and he was trying to convince himself that it was the reason he couldn’t sleep at all. But deep down, he knew better. As he sat in his office, yawning every few

Chapter 61 Rain gulped, finding herself speechless. It should have been easy to say yes, that it was just a pretense marriage, after all. But something inside her made her hesitate. Deep down, there was a growing hope that the marriage might actually work out. Her face reddened as she

Chapter 60 Rain woke up early, eager and nervous to report to the Prosecution Office. Though she had initially passed on the application, she ultimately decided to join the Smith Law Firm. Fortunately, the position she wanted was still available, favor seemed to be on her side. “Eat first before

Chapter 59 Rain sat on the floor of her cozy apartment, surrounded by Sanya and Clifford. The three of them had gathered for an impromptu drinking session, with cans of beer and wine bottles scattered around. Sanya had brought out some snacks, but the conversation was light. Rain took a

Chapter 58 Lancaster Ancestral Mansion. After a quiet dinner, Alexander’s father invited him to the balcony for tea. “It’s been a while since you’ve slept here,” Rock commented, gazing out at the garden he had meticulously maintained—a garden that once belonged to Alexander’s late mother, Alexa. “You forced me to

Chapter 57 At Rain’s Apartment Rain gulped as she finished explaining everything to Clifford. He remained silent, simply staring at her, his expression unreadable. “What’s with that look?” she murmured, noticing how dark his face had become. The tension in the room was almost suffocating, but it lightened somewhat when

Chapter 56 Ben had called earlier to inform him that his father was already back home and resting. Upon arrival, Alexander went straight to the bar and poured himself a drink. Closing his eyes, he tried to push away the scene that kept replaying in his mind—Rain and Clifford together.

Chapter 55 Rain finally exhaled deeply after Alexander left, feeling the tension drain from her body. She slumped onto the sofa, overwhelmed by the whirlwind of emotions that had just swept through her apartment. “Come out now, Clifford. I know you’ve been eavesdropping,” she called out, her voice a mix

Chapter 54 Rain heard Alexander cough, prompting her to quickly pull away from Clifford’s hug. She had thought Clifford would be arriving in three days, but his early return was a pleasant surprise. “Oh, you have a guest,” Clifford remarked with a casual hum, his eyes briefly flicking to Alexander.

Chapter 53 At Clayton Ancestral Mansion “I don’t understand why we still have to visit Aunt Lydia’s grave every year,” Dina whispered irritably to her mother as they walked through the garden towards Lydia’s grave. “We already do it on All Saint’s Day. Why do we have to go on

Chapter 52 Alexander drove into the estate and went inside the mansion to pick Rain up. He had dismissed his driver and Tyron, preferring to drive himself. As soon as he saw Rain, something in her felt off. She had a serious expression on her face the moment she saw
