• Chapter 642193 words
  Lucas hated Evelyn’s strategy.
• Chapter 643249 words
  Preston frowned as Reginald Blackwood drawled, "With your sluggish tactics, she'll only glance your way at forty or fifty—unmarried and too late. Better make an irrevocable move. Get her pregnant. She'll have no choice then."
• Chapter 644479 words
  Reginald Blackwood's entire body trembled violently. He turned sharply to glare at Nathan with deadly disbelief burning in his eyes. "You—"
• Chapter 645437 words
  The bar manager froze when Evelyn Sinclair made her unusual request.
• Chapter 646471 words
  The bar manager rushed forward to help the fallen man. "Young Master Whitmore!"
• Chapter 647616 words
  "Evelyn, give him a chance."
• Chapter 648457 words
  Evelyn Sinclair arched an eyebrow. "Mr. Sinclair, I never pegged you as the bar-hopping type."
• Chapter 649533 words
  Preston Sinclair cooed softly. "Don't worry, you don't have to go, sweetheart. Go upstairs and rest."
• Chapter 650432 words
  After dinner, Preston Sinclair hesitated before speaking. "Ms. Sterling, I'll be traveling abroad to handle some urgent matters and won't return until after the New Year. I apologize for leaving Oliver in your care again."
• Chapter 651440 words
  Theodore observed Nathan's stormy expression and carefully explained, "Mr. Blackwood, if you restrict the post's visibility to Ms. Sinclair alone, it'll be pointless if she blocks you."
• Chapter 652348 words
  The boardroom needed Evelyn Sinclair's presence most, yet her seat remained empty. Despite the heating system working overtime, an uncomfortable chill lingered in the air.

• Chapter 654352 words
  Evelyn Sinclair found the entire setup far more unsettling than she'd anticipated. The system hesitated for a brief moment—clearly unprepared for her unusual request.
• Chapter 655496 words
  Dominic Kingsley and Evelyn Sinclair headed to the lounge for tea. Or more accurately, they were there to hear Benjamin Carter's report.
• Chapter 656362 words
  Nathan's brow furrowed in irritation. Tristan's presence grated on his nerves.
• Chapter 657569 words
  New Year's Eve approached. Evelyn Sinclair delegated her corporate responsibilities and immersed herself in social engagements.
• Chapter 658380 words
  Evelyn's words struck the Blackwoods like a slap. When she was married to Nathan Blackwood, they'd scrutinized every penny she spent. Now that they were divorced, Reginald Blackwood wanted to gift her something extravagant for New Year's? The irony wasn't lost on her.
• Chapter 659163 words
  "Congratulations, Mr. Blackwood!" The brief exchange caught everyone's attention, but the moment passed quickly.
• Chapter 660438 words
  Evelyn's pulse quickened at Preston's words.
• Chapter 661564 words
  Evelyn rolled her eyes, refusing to engage with Nathan here. She glanced at Preston. "Wait for me."
• Chapter 662399 words
  Nathan Blackwood's infuriating face was inches from Evelyn Sinclair's. Her icy gaze bore into him, devoid of any courtesy.
• Chapter 663369 words
  Evelyn twirled little Oliver in her arms until her arms ached. She set him down gently, fingers combing through his soft curls. "Oliver, go greet your father."
• Chapter 664427 words
  Preston Sinclair hesitated, torn between decisions when his phone rang.
• Chapter 665565 words
  Preston Sinclair hesitated, his gaze lingering on Evelyn with unspoken words. She noticed his hesitation and rose gracefully, wrapping a cashmere shawl around her shoulders.
• Chapter 666281 words
  Evelyn felt something flutter against her heart. It was soft, controlled, yet carried an undercurrent of something deep and overwhelming.
• Chapter 667437 words
  Preston Sinclair had seeped into Evelyn's life like sunlight through stained glass - warm, persistent, and impossible to ignore.
• Chapter 668514 words
  Evelyn Sinclair rolled her eyes at Lucas. "She's coming soon." Lucas regained his spirits and became even more eager to return to his kitchen duties.
• Chapter 669487 words
  Evelyn's expression froze. This can't be happening...
• Chapter 670546 words
  Evelyn couldn't help but laugh softly. "You're overthinking it! Everyone in our family adores you, especially Donovan!"
• Chapter 671444 words
  Evelyn Sinclair and Natalie Beaumont were so close they shared everything. Natalie raised an eyebrow.
• Chapter 672482 words
  Evelyn Sinclair couldn't suppress her smirk. Seeing her sister's expression darken, Natalie Beaumont quickly intervened. "Lucas, Evelyn has been waiting forever for your latte art. How could you skip the best part?"
• Chapter 673384 words
  Lucas Sterling and Evelyn Sinclair felt like human mannequins. Their cheeks ached from forced smiles, yet they kept greeting relatives with practiced politeness.
• Chapter 674476 words
  The tension in the room dropped to subzero. Evelyn had no patience left for further conversation. She turned on her heel and walked out.
• Chapter 675394 words
  Evelyn paused for a beat. "Of course not! They're incredibly open-minded. Don't waste energy worrying about what others think. Just match Donovan's energy."
• Chapter 676477 words
  Alexandra gasped. "It's so lifelike! The fur feels just like the real thing. And it's warm too. If it didn't talk, I'd swear this was an actual tiger!"
• Chapter 677788 words
  Alexandra Montgomery blinked in shock when Emily Whitaker stated, "A robotic tiger like this costs at least nine figures. If you're not paying for it, did you honestly think I'd just hand it over?"
• Chapter 678499 words
  Evelyn laughed. "Leo is our family treasure!"
• Chapter 679546 words
  Gasps echoed through the room. "Oh my God! Evelyn, are you and Nathan back together?" "This is too perfect!"
• Chapter 680515 words
  Silence stretched on the other end of the call.
• Chapter 681536 words
  Nathan Blackwood's lips curved into an unexpected smile. The clock hadn't even struck midnight, yet here he was delivering New Year's greetings like some eager schoolboy.
• Chapter 682470 words
  Evelyn Sinclair's expression darkened. "I-I just... He was at the door. Was I supposed to turn him away? Besides, the butler approved it too."
• Chapter 683442 words
  Nathan's words struck Reginald Blackwood like a slap across the face. The audacity!
• Chapter 684457 words
  Nathan Blackwood stared at his phone screen, his lips curling into a bitter smirk. His knuckles turned white from gripping the device too tightly. The flood of private messages and vicious comments showed no sign of stopping. With mainstream media outlets censoring the backlash, netizens had turned to social media to unleash their fury on him.
• Chapter 685333 words
  Natalie frowned. "Oliver was just here."
• Chapter 686577 words
  Evelyn Sinclair glanced up. Little Oliver rubbed his sleepy eyes. "Beautiful Lady, I still haven't given you my gift yet. Just wait a moment."
• Chapter 687458 words
  Evelyn Sinclair was momentarily speechless. Oliver Sinclair's gifts were becoming increasingly extravagant.
• Chapter 688361 words
  "Of course, Evelyn. We understand you look down on us for being less fortunate." The woman's voice trembled with false humility. "But blood ties should count for something. Why this hostility?" All eyes darted between the nervous relatives and Evelyn's icy glare.
• Chapter 689499 words
  Evelyn withdrew her hand with icy precision. Elders? What a joke. Did they really think moral obligations would work on her?
• Chapter 690363 words
  Sophia Blackwood's demeanor shifted dramatically from her usual haughty arrogance. She approached Evelyn with hesitant steps.
• Chapter 691474 words
  Sterling Manor buzzed with life after Nathan's departure.

  The new year arrived with Alexander Sterling being the first to return to work. He'd gone into the office two days early to prepare everything.
• Chapter 695375 words
  The woman was clearly just waking up, her state mirroring the other female at the door. She draped herself over Adrian Prescott's shoulders with suggestive familiarity. "Adrian, who's there?"
• Chapter 696439 words
  Natalie laughed coldly as she reminded Adrian. "When I signed you, you were just another struggling model."
• Chapter 697459 words
  Lucas approached with two ice cream cones, handing one to each of them. "Take a break," he suggested.
• Chapter 698411 words
  Evelyn smirked. "Those fresh-faced idols from talent shows might have hordes of fans, but they're all middle school kids at best." She noticed the young celebrity stealing glances at her. "Not my type. I prefer men with more... experience."
• Chapter 699383 words
  The Sterling siblings were impossible to miss.

  The moment the cameras began rolling, the room fell into absolute silence.
• Chapter 702456 words
  Bennett turned and left without another word.
• Chapter 703472 words
  Evelyn Sinclair arched an eyebrow at Bennett. The photograph Alexandra Montgomery produced couldn't possibly compare to her words.
• Chapter 704545 words
  Jonathan Reeves' body turned ice cold.
• Chapter 705387 words
  Evelyn Sinclair lifted her gaze. Her striking features carried an icy elegance that seemed carved into her very bones. Seated across from Alexandra Montgomery, who stood rigidly, the contrast between them was stark—like fire and frost.
• Chapter 706452 words
  Evelyn's fingers traced the intricate design of her ring. The platinum band felt cool against her skin, its delicate craftsmanship catching the light.
• Chapter 707569 words
  The air carried an unseasonable chill that clung to the skin.
• Chapter 708518 words
  Evelyn snapped back to reality and shoved Nathan away, breaking free from his embrace.
• Chapter 709472 words
  Evelyn Sinclair was taken aback. The project had been discussed in strict confidence—only she, Alexander Sterling, and Jonathan Reeves were privy to it.
• Chapter 710373 words
  The night swallowed everything like spilled ink.
• Chapter 711513 words

  Evelyn Sinclair didn't hesitate. "Backup won't make it in time. They're here for the ledgers."
• Chapter 716450 words

• Chapter 718434 words

  Bennett understood Evelyn's meaning immediately and gave a solemn nod.
• Chapter 720311 words
  The instant Nathan stepped into the kitchen, Evelyn braced herself for disaster.
• Chapter 721476 words
  Nathan was reaching for his laptop to plug in the flash drive when Evelyn's fingers closed around it first. "Mr. Blackwood, that belongs to me."
• Chapter 722621 words
  Nathan Blackwood lounged casually in his seat, his posture relaxed yet commanding. "What's your next move? When are you heading back?"
• Chapter 723498 words
  Evelyn Sinclair finished her meal with satisfaction. Seeing Nathan Blackwood's loss of appetite only brightened her mood further.
• Chapter 724569 words
  Evelyn's brows knitted together as she reluctantly agreed to return home.
• Chapter 725403 words
  Evelyn turned just in time to see Lucas humming as he strolled toward the kitchen.
• Chapter 726464 words
  Nathan was determined to make sure everyone knew those desserts were meant for Evelyn.
• Chapter 727393 words
  Theodore coughed lightly. "Mr. Blackwood, everything has been taken care of. Should we—"
• Chapter 728497 words
  Natalie paused mid-sentence and cut Evelyn off.
• Chapter 729444 words
  Tristan Whitmore walked away with slumped shoulders.
• Chapter 730557 words

• Chapter 731493 words
  Evelyn Sinclair and Natalie Beaumont stood frozen in shock.
• Chapter 732512 words
  Evelyn and Natalie froze mid-step, exchanging incredulous glances at Sebastian.
• Chapter 733519 words
  Evelyn's lips curved into a knowing smile. "There might be some rumors circulating about me in the next few days. As long as it doesn't affect Sterling Enterprises' stock, just let it be, alright?"
• Chapter 734447 words
  Nathan's gaze was icy, his expression dark and terrifying. The patience he'd shown Evelyn had evaporated. Now, all he wanted was to lock her away where no one else could touch her. His fists clenched, the veins at his temples throbbing. His voice was rough, edged with barely restrained fury.
• Chapter 735525 words
  Evelyn drove Lucas's Maserati through the city streets with effortless grace.
• Chapter 736495 words
  Sebastian's mother appeared frailer than usual. The stress of recent events had clearly taken its toll—her appetite vanished, sleep eluded her.
• Chapter 737510 words
  The butler took the fishing gear from Donovan and Nathan as they entered. Nathan stood tall, his crisp white shirt casually unbuttoned at the collar, revealing the sharp line of his collarbone. His Adam's apple moved slightly as he swallowed, his jawline rigid and perfect. The picture of effortless elegance.
• Chapter 738529 words
  Now it all made sense why Nathan hadn't acted sooner. He'd been conducting a thorough investigation.
• Chapter 739507 words
  The crisis at Hart Enterprises was finally over. Sebastian planned to rebuild the company, but given his current situation, it was wiser to let professional administrators take charge first and oversee its complete liquidation.

• Chapter 745536 words

• Chapter 748424 words
  Now and forever.

• Chapter 763469 words
  Theodore's steps faltered as realization struck him like a physical blow. This entire hospital visit had been a colossal waste of time.
• Chapter 764400 words
  Theodore Winslow had many tricks up his sleeve, but even he had his limits.
• Chapter 765380 words
  Without warning, Preston Sinclair produced a perfectly round orange from his coat pocket. Its vibrant hue glowed under the sunlight, impossibly tempting.
• Chapter 766503 words
  Preston Sinclair sighed in frustration. He rose from his seat and adjusted his tailored suit.
• Chapter 767342 words
  The door swung open as Preston Sinclair stepped into the hospital room, his lips curling into that signature warm smile. "There's an emergency board meeting," he said casually, slipping his phone into his pocket. "I need to head out."
• Chapter 768228 words
  Scandals exposing scumbags online weren't new.

• Chapter 771508 words
  The moment Preston Sinclair arrived, the atmosphere in the Sterling Manor shifted dramatically.
• Chapter 772550 words

  Nathan's prolonged silence sent chills down Sophia's spine.
• Chapter 778525 words

• Chapter 779425 words

• Chapter 788406 words
  Nathan Blackwood's words sent shockwaves through Reginald Blackwood. Age had dulled the old man's senses - his hearing wasn't what it used to be, his vision blurred. He'd assumed this scandal would merely tarnish Blackwood Industries' reputation at worst. A few days of reprimands for Sophia, then business as usual. Never had he imagined billions would vanish from their market value overnight.
• Chapter 789357 words
  Nathan Blackwood left Highland Estates and headed straight to Blackwood Industries. The corporation was drowning in scandal, with public opinion turning vicious.

• Chapter 794442 words
  The voice came from a wiry man in a baseball cap who blended in with the locals.
• Chapter 795433 words

• Chapter 811552 words
  Nathan Blackwood's expression darkened as he tilted his head to look at Harrison.
• Chapter 812550 words
  Lucas frowned. "I don't think it'll come to that. Do you really believe Nathan Blackwood would crumble so easily if Blackwood Industries' leadership could be toppled without a fight?"
• Chapter 813566 words
  Evelyn Sinclair blinked in surprise. "Borrow money?"
• Chapter 814383 words
  Evelyn instinctively climbed into the car. Being alone with Preston made her uneasy.
• Chapter 815423 words
  Evelyn didn't even glance at the bag as she took it, leading Preston inside with purposeful strides.
• Chapter 816525 words

• Chapter 820557 words
  Evelyn Sinclair sat quietly, her gaze drifting upward just in time to witness Adrian Blackwood and Vivian Lockwood exchanging a look so intense it could melt steel.
• Chapter 821397 words
  Preston Sinclair wasn't a man without a temper. He simply knew how to conceal it.
• Chapter 822451 words
  A towering figure like Preston sounded like a husband reprimanding his mistress. The entire situation felt unbearably awkward!
• Chapter 823523 words
  Vivian Lockwood knew exactly what she felt.
• Chapter 824504 words
  Preston chuckled lightly, his tone playful.
• Chapter 825533 words

• Chapter 835443 words
  Donovan Pierce's words instantly sparked a wave of encouragement from the crowd.
• Chapter 836594 words
  Isabella followed Donovan Pierce outside, but before the door could shut completely, he pulled her into an embrace. "Ms. Montgomery," he murmured, his breath warm against her ear, "since no one's watching now, why don't you take the lead?"
• Chapter 837402 words
  Evelyn could see the wariness in Isabella's eyes. If Donovan Pierce offered to drive her home, it would be like walking straight into a trap.
• Chapter 838522 words
  No words were spoken aloud, but Evelyn understood Isabella's heart perfectly. Since Isabella remained silent, Evelyn chose to play ignorant.
• Chapter 839457 words
  Evelyn gestured toward the sleek black car idling nearby. "No need. My driver will take us."
• Chapter 840540 words

• Chapter 846501 words
  The evening was thick with silence, the sky a canvas of deepening indigo. Sterling Manor stood quiet under the gathering dusk.

  Nathan Blackwood froze at Evelyn Sinclair's brutal honesty.
• Chapter 849581 words
  The following morning.
• Chapter 850421 words

  "Why should I trust you?" Evelyn's voice was ice cold.
