Orion felt a weight on his head as he absorbed Danica's revelation. "So, Jenna became Daryl's girlfriend?" he asked his sister, his anxiety growing with the newfound knowledge. "That just doesn't add up," he mumbled, prompting Danica to pay closer attention. "Why not?" Danica inquired, her confusion evident. "Daryl used my sports car to pick up Jenna that night," Orion explained as he retrieved his laptop. He proceeded to show Danica some images of his sports car, the vehicle Daryl had utilized during the accident. "Daryl had someone in the sports car. I noticed strands of hair in my car, and they were a match for Jenna's. During the investigation interview, Jenna came close to confessing that she had been in Daryl's car, but Erin intervened. "We were genuinely puzzled by their responses – none of them seemed to align with the events of that night. Erin, too, was in the dark about what truly transpired because she was heavily intoxicated." Danica's expression soured. "You m
"I am certain that Jenna is accountable for the situations where Erin was endangered multiple times," Orion asserted. The description obtained from the man they apprehended at the hotel corresponds with Jenna's appearance. "But why did she only find the courage to harm Erin now?" Marco questioned. "The threat to Erin's life emerged when the agreement between Arvesso and Erin was announced. We apprehended the man just after the anniversary of Daryl's death," Orion explained. "You're right!" Marco mused further. He remained eager to comprehend the depth of their findings. "I need to reveal the truth to Erin!" Orion declared. Now armed with the knowledge that they had been manipulated by Jenna. They both appeared drained, staring blankly as they absorbed the revelations, processing the weight of the situation. Marco broke the silence, expressing his concerns. "I regret having to bring this up, O. Now that you're aware of the truth, what's our next move? It's challenging to take leg
Orion's expression darkened into a scowl as he picked up Erin from Zach's house and escorted her to her penthouse. Without uttering a word, he headed straight to his room and forcefully slammed his door. Feeling tension in the air, Erin massaged her temples, struggling to grasp the depth of Orion's jealousy. Fortunately, this time, he refrained from causing a scene at Zach's house as he had done in the past. Taking a seat on the spacious couch, Erin retrieved her laptop and set it on the center table. Seeking solace, she chatted with her AI friend, 'How can one seduce a man who harbors excessive jealousy towards a close friend?' Numerous suggestions appeared on her screen, advising her: 'Prepare his favorite meal; they say the way to a man's heart is through his stomach.' 'Make his coffee.' 'Embrace and kiss him.' 'Ask him to join you for a date outdoors, and then send him a letter expressing your apologies.' Among these, Erin highlighted one that piqued her interest, rec
Erin instinctively stepped back, her eyes widening as she observed the anger radiating from Danica's gaze. "What the heck, Orion? What does this mean?" Danica's voice carried a mix of frustration and hurt, causing tears to well up in her eyes. Her whole body trembled with a combination of anger and emotion. Erin felt a lump in her throat and swallowed hard, glancing nervously at Orion. Fear etched across her face, she found herself rooted in place, almost as if she could see Daryl's ghost in the intensity of Danica's emotions. "Why is she with you?!" Danica's accusation echoed, drawing the attention of passersby in the bustling mall. "Danica..." Orion warned through gritted teeth, his jaw tightening with tension. Aware of the growing audience, Orion quickly glanced at the onlookers who had paused to eavesdrop. "Not now! We're in public, kid!" "I need an explanation!" Danica's voice carried desperation, tears streaming down her face. Onlookers could easily misinterpret th
Erin and Orion strolled hand in hand along the bustling pedestrian area of Senado Square. The atmosphere was adorned with enchanting melodies from street musicians, casting a romantic spell over their evening. The enticing aroma of local delicacies filled the air, tempting Erin and Orion to sample some street food. They indulged in crispy egg tarts, almond cookies, and other delectable treats from the vendors lining the street. The couple ascended the iconic Ruins of St. Paul's to enjoy a breathtaking panoramic view of the city. In front of a small kingdom of stars, Orion asked Erin, "How's your date with me?" "It's wonderful, O! This is my first time in Macau, and I'm thrilled you brought me here," she replied. A delightful flutter of excitement warmed her chest as she gazed at Orion. "Our first official date has been so enjoyable. We're a world away from work and problems. I'm grateful you brought me to this special place." Erin embraced Orion's waist. "I want to make you ha
Erin found herself eagerly anticipating the evening ahead, firmly convinced that she and Orion had made plans for a delightful night. Excitedly, she decided to enhance the experience by selecting a stunning dress from the hotel's boutique. With meticulous care, she adorned herself, envisioning the upcoming moments as another chapter in their romantic journey. Shortly after, a knock on their door announced the hotel manager. "Boss, she came," the manager informed Orion. Orion nodded in agreement, signaling Erin to accompany him as they ventured outside their room. A perplexed expression formed on Erin's face, her brow furrowing in curiosity, as the manager guided them to a designated floor with a sense of purpose. "Who are we meeting?" she whispered to Orion. Their journey came to an unexpected halt in front of one of the doors on the floor. As it swung open, Erin was taken aback to find Uncle Roger inside. However, her surprise deepened when she spotted Jenna and Michael sea
After a few days, Erin returned to the country, having traveled to Singapore alone following a lengthy discussion with Orion. Although their initial plan was for him to accompany her, his job beckoned him back home. Assistant Jorge persistently disrupted his vacation, apprising him of pressing matters in Arvesso, mainly due to the ongoing transitions within the company. Unfazed by the circumstances, Erin chose to travel and work independently. She was resolute in not relying on a companion or a bodyguard. She had recently come across news detailing the arrest of her Uncle Roger, with legal representation from the Walton Group assigned to manage his case. In the subsequent days, Erin found contentment in her pursuits. Embarking on the journey of establishing her business, Erin delved into the process of identifying and connecting with suppliers while acquiring the essential insights required for the impending launch. She spent more time in the penthouse as she finished her Yurich w
Erin is happy for Orion even though she is going through a difficult time in her own life. Leading the Arvesso Group appears to be a formidable task for him. Yet, she remains genuinely happy for him in confronting this substantial challenge. Nevertheless, Erin expresses the hope that her frequent interactions with Orion will persist. As the taxi halts in front of the Arvesso-owned hotel, Erin observes the arrival of guests donning elegant gowns in the lobby. Eager to join Orion in their suite, she quickly exited the taxi. Orion had given her the key card the previous night to avoid any issues today. Checking the time, Erin realized she needed to hurry to catch the man's speech. In the hallway, Erin came across Carla, who seemed visibly intoxicated. "You are so fucking dumb!" Carla hurled an insult at her. Erin winced, realizing she couldn't afford to engage in conflict, especially given her time constraints. "Listen, I don't have the luxury of time for this. I must rush
