Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

On a sweltering afternoon, everyone was cooped up at home, unwilling to face the blazing sun.

Mia was enjoying the cool of the air conditioning indoors. She was laying back in her chair. Her eyes were shielded by a sleeping mask. In this way, she could enjoy the rays of sunlight. Passersby couldn't help but slow their pace, not daring to disturb the precious lady of the Andre family.

But Mia wasn't asleep. Her mind was a whirlwind of thoughts, thinking of Cooper one moment and Leo the next.

Molly's words, as well as the sight of the pregnant girl she had encountered a few days ago, kept playing on her mind.

In a few days, she was due for her prenatal check-up. If everything went according to plan, her family might switch hospitals just to avoid running into her.

Mia's hand rested on her belly, softly patting it. "What do you reckon, baby? Should Mama go snooping around to find out which hospital they're going to?"

There was no response from her belly.

"So you agree, right?"

The little one was basking in the warmth of the sun, shielded by her belly.

The sun war scortching, but it seemed unable to penetrate the old Walton family mansion.

As soon as someone stepped into the Walton residence, a chill would creep up on him. Whether it was due to the lack of lighting, the direction of the house, or perhaps one's mood, it was impossible not to get goosebumps at the Walton's.

And yet, Finley was in love with life here. In the remote mountain suburbs stood a villa, home to only one - Holly. He spent all his days within these four walls.

Tom spoke up, "Boss, I found two potential businesses on the brink of bankruptcy, but they're too small. If we act rashly, we might get caught. I did find a company that we could potentially use. They're generating regular profits and as long as we handle it well, we won't get caught. The company is Ashford Inc., owned by the Ashford family. The current leader is Jack Ashford."

Finley had never heard of this company before. "What do they do?"

"They're in the fashion industry. They're competitors with Chade Inc. The Ashford family has always wanted to forge an alliance with the Byrne family through marriage. They want Kendrick and Chad as backing. But the Byrnes don't have a good impression of the Ashfords. They won't allow Molly to marry Jack."

The Byrnes were out of reach. If they approached now, it would only push the Ashfords further away.

"What's their situation like?"
