"Who are you? Oriana?"


    "It''s me, Myra, please help me!"


    Myra rolled her eyes. "How did you get yourself into this mess?"


    Criana didn''t dare spill the beans about the real debacle! She quickly resorted to a fabricated story she had prepared.


    "Myra, I was at this hotel with my boyfriend, and then we bumped into Noe... You know she’s had it out for me, even got me expelled from college!”


    Myra''s interest piqued. "So, you''re saying Noe got you locked up?”


    "Yeah! She tried hitting on my boyfriend, but he only has eyes for me. She got mad and had the cops take me away... You know I can''t handle


    someone like Ms. Noe!"


    Myra was secretly thrilled. She had no idea Noe was that kind of person! With a fiancé as perfect as Palmer, and she''s still after someone else''s


    man. If Palmer finds out, he''ll definitely see Noe''s true colors! She couldn''t bear to see Palmer get deceived. No matter whom he chooses as his


    girlfriend, it definitely shouldn''t be someone of questionable morals.


    "Alright, I''ll have awyere for you. Just keep your head down these next few days.”


    "Thanks, Myra!"


    Myra hung up and straightened her dress, making her way towards Noe and Palmer. She took a deep breath, spread her arms wide, and blocked


    Noe and Palmer''s path!


    Palmer coldly said, "Annie."


    Annie rushed over, "Sorry, boss, didn''t see thating. I''ll clear the way for you."


    "Dock half a month''s pay."


    A paycheck is a lifeline for a working girl! There goes this month''s shopping spree! Annie was livid. Who in their right mind would barge in with a


    dozen bodyguards tailing them? This woman must be out of her mind! Annie, gritting her teeth, grabbed Myra''s arm, ready to storm off.


    "Damn, just when I thought work couldn''t get any crazier, I run into a lunatic.”


    But Myra didn''t want to leave! "Mr. Pock, I''m Myra, from the Whitaker family of Zing City!"


    Palmer frowned. "Never heard of them."


    Noe looked intrigued. "The Whitaker family?"


    Seeing her interest, Palmer exined softly. "The big families of Zing City, none of them have business ties with the Pock family.”


    Meaning Palmer wasn''t interested! Myra was getting desperate. "I''m also the niece of the Vaughn family..."


    Noe remembered, the Vaughn family, Palmer''s uncle''s n! A financial dynasty, albeit their business wasn''t domestic but rather significant in the


    international finance scene.Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org.


    "Your uncle''s family?"


    Palmer shook his head. "Even if you were my aunt''s niece..."


    He was about to dismiss her im by saying even if she were Megan''s niece, he wouldn''t care, but then he remembered Megan actually had a niece


    now! It was inappropriate to say that now, especially with Noe''s teasing gaze upon him. Palmer coughed awkwardly.


    "My aunt''s niece is different; that would be my cousin. The Whitaker family and the Yan family are distant rtives, hardly close.”


    eaning Myra wasn''t important to


    him. Noe chuckled softly! After


    spending time together, she seemed


    to particrly enjoy Palmer''s o


    slip-ups, finding even his slight ~~


    erro s.8ndearing. As the chairman of


    the-Pock Group, Palmer was


    apything but cute. But in front of


    someone you like, even the most


    mature men can act childish!


    Seeing them so close, Myra felt a pang of jealousy. She knew she wasn''t in Palmer''s league, not by family, looks, or skills. To her, Palmer was always


    someone to look up to. But in her eyes, Noe wasn''t right for Palmer either! At the very least, it had to be someone like Master Azure, a queen in her


    own right!


    Myra clenched her teeth. "Mr. Pock, she''s not a good person! Don''t be fooled by her! She even tried to seduce my friend''s boyfriend at the hotel!”


    The tension was palpable. Annie facepalmed. Palmer remained stoic.


    "Oh."


    Myra was bbergasted. "Mr. Pock, she''s flirty and deceitful, and you''re okay with that? A woman of her morals doesn''t deserve to stand by your


    side!"


    Palmer''s gaze was fixed on Noe. He smiled softly, his eyes twinkling like a myriad of stars, dazzling enough to captivate Myra. But that smile was


    for Noe. Palmer said gently, "It''s okay. As long as Noe wants to be with me, I don''t care about the other men."


    Myra was speechless. Annie nearly


    choked on herown saliva, quickly


    stepping aside to stifle herughter.

    words. Though they knew Noell

    alofie someone else''s man-After all,


    being ustomed to thedikes of the


    Schnabel family''s four sons, Noe


    had high standards. Content


    belongs to


    But for Myra, unaware of the full story, Palmer''s unwavering devotion must have been hard to swallow. Myra was indeed struggling.


    "Mr. Pock, how can you be so blinded by love? She''s not a good person! She even insulted Master Azure! My friend was her ssmate, and out of


    jealousy, she had her expelled!"


    In Myra''s eyes, Noe''s deeds were unforgivable. Noe simply added, "Yeah, that''s terrible. So, what now?”


    "So... so you''re leaving Mr. Pock! Don''t tarnish such a good man!"


    Nog replied calmly, "I''m leaving him, so you''re nning to be with him?"


    Myra''s face turned beet red in an instant, but she waved her hands dismissively, "No... I''m not worthy. Only someone like Master Azure deserves to


    be with Mr. Pock! You''re not a match for him at all!”


    Noe raised an eyebrow and smiled. This Myra, she was just too naive. Anyone who could be easily swayed by Oriana''s few words clearly didn''t


    have much upstairs. If Oriana hadn''t had the advantage of being from a prestigious background, she probably wouldn''t have made it into Imperial


    University. Noe nced at Palmer.


    "So, you''re not afraid I''ll hurt you, knowing how terrible I am?"


    "No matter what Noe does to me, I''m quite looking forward to it.”


    Myra, looking as if she''d been


    caught foraging i in the wild for food,


    stamped herfoot I in frustration and


    turned ton away, her face oo


    covered! NPalmer must have been


    trickechby this wicked woman, she


    thought. She''d go and clear things


    up-with egan. Only if the rest of the


    Pock family knew Noelta''s true


    colors could they save Palmer from


    his dire situation!


    Watching her flee in a panic, Noe chuckled, "Mr. Pock really is blindly in love, isn''t he? What if I really went after another man?"


    Palmer chuckled lightly. "Then I''d lock you up, keep you by my side forever so you couldn''t go anywhere! As for any other men, they''d be dealt with

    Noe smiled broadly, intertwining her fingers with Palmer''s. "Funny, if you ever went after someone else, I''d do the same!"
