Chapter 50 This time, his response was firm. “Mr. Wilder, I’m truly sorry, but the appointment was scheduled in advance and everything’s already set. It just can’t be changed at the last minute.” Noticing Dylan’s expression turning cold, he quickly tried to soften the blow. “ But please don’t worry.

Chapter 49 Noreen asked casually, “What happened?” “It’s Director Lowell–she shut down every project you had lined up! Not a single one left standing!” Sophia was clearly hiding out in the restroom, her voice barely above a whisper. Noreen was taken aback. “All of them? She rejected everything?” “Yeah, all

Chapter 48 Noreen hadn’t slept well for days, and tonight, insomnia kept her wide awake, She tossed and turned for what felt like hours, unable to drift off. A little after eleven, her phone buzzed–a message from Claire. Claire sent over seven or eight lawyers‘ WhatsApp contacts, some well –

Chapter 47 Noreen had no idea why Seth was here. Not that she cared to find out. After a fleeting glance in his direction, she shut down her emotions and strode inside. But Seth was standing right by the entrance; if she wanted to get home, she’d have to walk

Chapter 46 She had no intention of wasting her time on people who didn’t matter. But she was still a step too late. The restaurant staff told her that Dean Grayson and his party had already left – just ten minutes earlier. She could have accepted being half an hour

Chapter 45 Noreen had no idea what Seth had decided. All her attention was fixed on the expert medical team. As the workday drew to a close, there was still no sign of the experts. Growing anxious, Noreen sought out Larson for information. Larson had just stepped out of surgery

Chapter 44 So when Noreen scrolled through her coworker’s social feed, she saw Colleague A commenting under Colleague B’s post: “Now this is what I call a real team – building trip.” “All those previous gatherings? Might as well have been cattle roundups.” Colleague B couldn’t agree more. She chimed

Chapter 43 Noreen’s heart skipped a beat when she saw the familiar name pop up on her phone. But once she actually read the message, she let out a silent, self–mocking laugh. Seth hadn’t tagged her personally at all. He’d mentioned everyone in the Aurelion Group’s team chat–no one special.

Chapter 42 Hearing those words, Bianca managed a small smile, feeling a bit more at ease. “Achoo!” Maybe it was the afternoon rain, but by evening, Noreen’s head felt foggy and her limbs heavy. The symptoms of a cold were impossible to ignore. Dr. Lynwood had warned her that her

Chapter 41 “Take us to the restaurant.” Seth’s tone was curt, leaving no room for negotiation. Just like before–he summoned her when he pleased and dismissed her just as easily. But Noreen wasn’t the same woman she once was. She wasn’t going to run after him anymore, desperate for even

Chapter 40 Seth gave a brief reply. “My friends always say I have a great personality, but honestly, I owe it all to my parents. I grew up in a loving, stable home, so I don’t have any of those personality issues you see in people from, well, less fortunate

Chapter 39 When Noreen finally found Dr. Larson Quigley, he was just examining Rosalind’s scans. The rıghtful source is As soon as he learned she was the patient’s daughter, he began explaining the results without delay. “Do you see this shadow here?” Larson pointed to a dark spot on the

Chapter 38 “Is Dr. Quigley in his office right now?” The nurse nodded. “Yes, he’s in.” Noreen said she’d go and ask Dr. Quigley for an update, then hurried out of the hospital room. The second she stepped into the corridor, the tears she’d been holding back finally broke free.

Chapter 37 Noreen forced a smile. “It’s nothing. The delivery’s done, so I’ll head back to the office.” All she wanted was to find somewhere to grab a quick bite and shake off her bad mood. Seth seemed too preoccupied with winning over his future mother–in–law to bother with her.

Chapter 36 Noreen heard every word, crystal clear. Bianca asked, “Seth, is there anything you’d like to eat? Or would you rather order yourself?” Seth replied, “You go ahead and choose. I’m not picky.” Noreen nearly burst out laughing at that. She was afraid she’d actually laugh out loud and

Chapter 35 Wade had just finished speaking when Evelyn stepped out from inside the house, cradling an ornate jewelry box in her hands. Her face glowed with a warm, delighted smile. Noreen’s eyes lingered on the box, her heart twisting with a bittersweet ache. Evelyn gently set the jewelry box

Chapter 34 The relationship between father and son had always been strained. When Noreen first met Seth, things between him and his father were at their absolute worst. Wade wanted Seth to take over the Harcourt family’s business empire, but Seth was determined to strike out on his own. Evelyn

Chapter 33 Noreen knocked on the door of Seth’s office. Only after he gave her permission did she turn the handle and step inside. “Mr. Harcourt.” Her tone was all business, crisp and formal. Seth looked up. “I’ll be heading to the hospital soon to visit a patient. I need

Chapter 32 This time, though, the voice and the way he looked at Seth were noticeably different. There was something else in his eyes–a hint of affection. After leaving the hospital, Seth called Noreen on his way back. He only meant to ask how long she planned to rest and

Chapter 31 Seth was far too close, his breath hot against her ear. A silent provocation. Normally, Noreen would have melted halfway at this point. But tonight, she felt nothing. In fact, a wave of revulsion crept over her. She reached out, trying to push him away. But the moment
