"How dare you ask me why?" Lucien Valois trembled with rage. "Without Yvonne, do you think you'd be sitting in the CEO chair of Fengho Group? Without her, you wouldn't even get near the chairman's position!"

Lucien's marriage had never been about love. It was a meticulously calculated transaction. Marrying Yvonne was his only ticket to taking over Fengho Group.

His son did possess business acumen. Unfortunately, that talent had been completely eroded by his endless affairs.

In the bedroom, Yvonne's phone suddenly rang.

She was applying serum in front of the mirror and casually pressed the answer button.

"Bridget, did you find anything?"

Her fingertips tapped lightly against her cheeks, producing crisp sounds.

"It's confirmed. He's been keeping a woman named Sylvia Savigny. The address is sent to your phone. How do you want to handle this?"

Yvonne turned on speakerphone and continued massaging her face.

"You know my rules." Her voice was as gentle as if discussing the weather. "Bring extra people. Start by ruining that face. Oh, and make sure to silence her mouth too."

The thought of that woman's lips touching Lucien made her stomach churn with disgust.

Hanging up, Yvonne smiled at her reflection, as if she'd just arranged an afternoon tea.

......

The operating room lights finally dimmed.

Nurses wheeled Milo out, heading straight to the ICU for observation. Only after the doctor finished explaining post-op care did Jenna Roland's tense nerves relax slightly.

When Liam Melford removed his surgical mask, his damp bangs clung to his forehead.

"Dr. Melford, the surgery..." Jenna's voice trembled.

"Was successful." His gaze rested on her pale face.

The sudden release of tension made her vision blur. Her body swayed forward uncontrollably.

Liam instinctively caught her.

For the first time, his hands touched a woman's body without surgical gloves.

The faint scent of roses from Jenna lingered around him. For a fleeting moment, Liam's focus wavered.

"Take her to emergency." He quickly regained composure, instructing his assistant. Behind his glasses, an imperceptible flicker of emotion passed through his eyes.
