Ariel had depression, and she was undergoing treatment.At first, Jodie didn't want Katie to know about Ariel's condition. She thought that the fewer people knew about it, the better. However, she let Katie in on Ariel's condition after some hesitation because she was afraid that the rift between them would worsen.Jodie was secretly sending the message, so she snuck glances at Ariel from time to time. "The doctor said that what Ariel needs now is some quiet rest and medication. She can't be too agitated. Perhaps she could recover. No matter what, I really thank you for today. Only you would be willing to stand up for Ariel."Seeing Jodie's message, an idea came to Katie. She immediately replied to Jodie, "You should have told me about this earlier! I blame myself for checking in on Ariel so late!"However, Katie didn't look sorry at all. In fact, she was delighted. Ariel having depression was a good thing! The public tended to feel sorry for the weak. If this got out, it w

Philip hadn't been in touch with Ariel since she'd called the engagement off. He knew that Ariel needed time to deal with it, so he was giving her space.When he heard Katie mention Ariel, he was a little anxious. He asked urgently, "How is Ariel?""She's not doing well." Katie sighed. "You know how important Stephen was to Ariel. Calling off the marriage this time was a huge blow to her. I only found out about this recently from her manager. Ariel has depression. She's treating it with medication."Philip felt extremely sorry. "W—why didn't she tell me?"Katie choked up a little. "You know what Ariel is like. She bottles things up, which is why she ended up like this.""Ariel, that silly child!" Philip said anxiously, "I wanted to stand up for her, but she gave it up on her own. What can I do? Look at her now …"Philip looked at Katie once more, but no longer in disdain."You're Ariel's friend. Please take good care of her. If you can, ask her if she's willing to come and see

In the blink of an eye, Miller Jewels' jewelry show came to an end. Yvonne realized that the next day was New Year's Eve.The next day, Rachel called early in the morning to remind Yvonne to be punctual that night. As Yvonne was still hesitating after the call, she saw Elvin coming into her room. He was holding a little suit in his hand."Mommy, how does this look?" Elvin asked.Yvonne was curious. "Why are you wearing such a formal outfit?"Elvin smiled. "Aunt Rachel has invited me to the New Year's Eve party too.""What?" Yvonne felt something was off. Why did Rachel also invite Elvin? Yvonne bent down and looked Elvin in the eyes. "Be honest, did Aunt Rachel tell you something that I don't know about?"Elvin looked stumped. "What is it that you don't know about?"Yvonne was speechless. If she'd known about it, she wouldn't have had to ask!"It's fine. Pretend I didn't ask." She looked at the suit in his hands. "Wear something casual. This makes you look like a page b

Ariel instantly panicked. "No. I'm telling the truth! Grandpa really wanted to fish at night, so I headed back to get his fishing gear. Then, he fell into the water …""How could it be such a coincidence? The manor is well guarded. Other than you and Father, there was no one else. Don't tell me that he lost his footing and fell into the water!" Hazel stood up and blamed Ariel. In truth, Hazel was afraid that the other family members would blame her and William instead."Ms. Clarke, Father treats you really well. It's all because the engagement was called off, right? Must you be so cruel and take it out on him?""Enough. Stop with the nonsense." Charles was still rational. He furrowed his brows and looked at Ariel. "But you are indeed at fault for leaving Father alone by the lake. If anything happens to him, you will have to bear the responsibility too."Charles looked at William and Hazel. "You all as well. You can't get away with this!" They had persuaded Philip to head back

History had a scary way of repeating itself.Amidst the fireworks, a group of people chanted, "Say yes! Say yes!"Stephen furrowed his brows. "What is Yvonne doing?"Julian looked at the scene before his eyes. He was almost in tears. "Sir, I'll tell you, but you have to stay calm."Then, he closed his eyes and braced for it. "Mr. Turner confessed to Ms. Miller."The call ended.Julian almost burst into tears. What was happening?Meanwhile, Yvonne was holding a bouquet and looking at Caleb.A moment ago, under the sky full of fireworks, Caleb asked her with the utmost sincerity to be with him. He hadn't given an overtly romantic, long speech. He'd made it seem as if he'd just decided to buy a bouquet and confess to her out of the blue because he'd just happened to pass by a florist.Even with
