“Of course I do. He’s known me and Darren for many years now.” Tiffany turned around and kept smiling after she glared at Darren’s leaving figure.“Did you agree to come over for a discussion because he spoke highly of Luxford Group?” Sophie wanted a clear answer, but she didn’t expect to get an even more affirmative answer instead. “Austin didn’t mention Luxford Group, but he kept praising you. We’ve known him for many years now, and we’ve never heard him praise a woman. Do you get what I mean, young lady?” Tiffany gave Sophie a shoulder pat while grinning. Sophie smiled forcefully and said, “I think you’ve misunderstood. I’m his sister-in-law.”“Oh, this relationship will no longer exist after you and Cedric get divorced, so anything is possible.”Sophie was dumbfounded. She was not interested in such a possibility, though.After sending Tiffany off with a forced smile, Sophie did not look particularly thrilled when she returned to her office. “Miss Sophie, why don’t you

"Screams and laughter provide release and relaxation, Sophie. That's exactly what you need right now," Austin asserted.Hearing this, Sophie asked, "Is that why you brought me here and helped persuade Tiffany and Darren to work for Luxford Group?"Austin didn't expect her to learn about his efforts behind the signing so soon, and a hint of embarrassment flashed across his face. "I'm sorry. I didn't know if you'd like this approach, but I hope I can help share a little bit of your burden.""There's no need to apologize. I should be the one to say thank you, Austin. I'm really happy to have you as a friend, and I hope our friendship will last forever," Sophie replied as she looked up into his eyes.No matter if it was a misunderstanding or something else, there were things she hoped Austin could understand.In this lifetime, she did not want to get involved in a romantic relationship with another man from the Carlsons.Austin naturally understood the implications in her words. A fl

When they passed the children's shooting kiosk, Sophie was drawn to a small wooden carving displayed in the prize area. It was the first time she had seen a wedding-themed wooden carving of a man and woman.There was another reason, too. The carving made her feel as if she were reliving her own wedding with Cedric more than three years ago.He had given her the loving gaze, the kiss, the diamond ring, and the consummation of their marriage on the wedding night that she had always anticipated. However, he had not given her the true love she had been expecting for a long time."Do you want that wooden carving?" Austin's gaze was gentle, and he had a unique soldier's insight.Before Sophie could respond to his question, he had already picked up the small air rifle beside him. "Hey, sir, give me 30 bullets.""Sir, you have to pay for the bullets," the kiosk owner pointed to a sign in the corner.Countless people came to challenge every day, most leaving without any prizes, so the own

"28, 29!" Sophie remained oblivious to the encroaching danger, her eyes fixed on a distant target, anticipating a miraculous moment just seconds away.Two gunshots reverberated through the shooting range almost simultaneously. The final bullet, destined for the target, veered off course, deflected by another shot.Frowning, Sophie turned her gaze toward the unexpected disruption. What she saw stunned her as if an electric shock had rendered her motionless.Cedric gripped a rifle in one hand, a smirk playing on his lips, tinted with mockery and sarcasm. His disdainful gaze swept past Sophie's pale face and locked onto Austin. "Austin, it seems that your marksmanship has regressed?"Austin was taken aback, not expecting to encounter Cedric at the amusement park. Subconsciously, he lowered his head and frowned as he noticed the child watching eagerly beside Cedric."Cedric, don't be ridiculous," Austin retorted."I'm just trying to win a new toy here. How is this a ridiculous act?"

Ricky obviously sensed that something was awry. Looking up, he clasped his tiny hands onto Vivienne's finger and asked, "Mommy, who is this lady?""She's someone Daddy doesn't want to spend any money on." Before Vivienne could respond, Cedric had already supplied the answer, a cold and sarcastic gaze accompanying it.He then extracted a thick wad of bills from his wallet, tossed it into the owner's arms, and sneered wickedly as he glanced at the wooden carving and the large teddy bear that Ricky had taken a liking to. "Is this enough to purchase that teddy bear and that wood carving?""Of course! It's more than enough!" The owner's excited face blossomed with a wide grin as he promptly handed over the two items. This transaction was even more profitable than flipping houses.Cedric toyed with the delicate wooden carving in his hand, and then, with a flick of his wrist, an oak-colored object could be seen traveling into the distance.The wooden sculpture plummeted to the ground and

"That's enough. Do you want Ricky to see you drunk?" Cedric questioned in a reprimanding tone."Ricky? Do you know, if it weren't for him, I wouldn't have known how to keep going these past few years? Cedric, the biggest regret of my life is not being brave enough over three years ago to tell everyone that I love you. I would never have left you, no matter how many people opposed us and tried to tear us apart!"Vivienne gripped the empty glass, her eyes now misty with tears streaming down her cheeks. She tried to hastily wipe them away as if she were trying to restrain her emotions, smudging the delicate makeup on her face."You should hate me. I'm the coward here. I thought that if I left you, bringing Ricky with me, you wouldn't be threatened by your family or ridiculed by others. But in the end, I couldn't hold out and resist coming back," she said.Cedric's expression subtly changed as he recalled the scene he had witnessed the night Vivienne left.-Back then."Ms. Luxford,

On the side of the street, Sophie sat in the jeep for hours. She had been helped into the car after leaving the amusement park and hadn't shed a single tear since. She remained silent, maintaining the exact same posture as she stared fixedly out the window, which only made people feel more sorry for her.Austin sat next to her, feeling the pain but unable to comfort her.Sometimes, the quieter one became, the more the heart hurt, and when the pain had reached its peak, the last thing one would want to hear was comfort.Before it got dark, numerous people started leaving the amusement park.Austin rolled down the car window and glanced up at the sky, only then realizing that the weather had changed. The once fine weather had suddenly turned overcast as if spring rain was imminent.The cold wind suddenly rushed in, causing Sophie to shiver. Her eyes, which had remained motionless for a long time, finally shifted. "I'm sorry. Can you please take me back?"She was in so much pain tha

The sky grew ominously darker as if darkness had abruptly invaded, followed by large raindrops pounding down.Sophie looked up, raindrops falling into her eyes. They resembled the tears she had held back stubbornly as she gazed at the man before her."Cedric, if I'm the woman you've used, you should also be the man I've used. So why don't you ask Vivienne if she feels violated when she gets it on with you?" Sophie asked bitterly.'Marriage is meant to be a mutual relationship. Therefore, if I'm considered dirty, then how much better is he? Why would he have the audacity to come and mock me?' She could not help but refute inwardly."If it weren't for you threatening Vivienne to leave back then, do you think I would've had the chance to occupy and use you?" Cedric stretched out his hand, grasped her by the neck, and pressed her back against a nearby sycamore tree trunk. The fury in his eyes looked more terrifying than the encroaching darkness.Sophie was at a loss for words for a se
