Tyler nodded, staying silent and not leaving.

Alisa wasn't sure what he wanted. After waiting for a few seconds, she knocked on the door a couple of times while holding the breakfast tray.

When there was no response, she entered.

Inside, Olivia spun around in surprise when she heard the door open. Her eyes met Tyler's.

He noticed the bright sunlight streaming in from the balcony, and then his gaze shifted to the phone in Olivia's hand.

Olivia gripped the phone tighter and looked down.

Tyler turned away and walked out, leaving Olivia standing frozen in place.

The maid entered and said, "You're up. I thought you were still sleeping. I've brought your breakfast."

Olivia looked at the breakfast tray and nodded. "Okay."

Meanwhile, Tyler got into his car and stared at the sunflowers outside. His secretary, sitting next to him, his secretary tried to see what he was looking at but couldn't figure it out.

After a long pause, Tyler instructed, "Get someone to remove all the sunflowers this afternoon."

The driver, glancing at him through the rearview mirror, asked, "Sir, may I know why we're removing them?"

Tyler replied curtly, "They're bad luck."

Neither the secretary nor the driver understood what was happening, but the driver simply said, "Okay."

As the car drove off, Tyler's expression remained cold. Linda sat quietly beside him, puzzled about what had upset him.

Tyler suddenly said, "People are already talking about our family. Let's give them more to talk about."

Linda just looked at him, knowing well that the Pearces and Harrises were the talk of the town because the media had sensed something amiss.

That morning, an entertainment channel had revisited a painful episode from their past.

The host revealed, "Ms. Morgan Harris and Mr. Claude Pearce were deeply in love and about to marry. But they had an argument the night before their wedding, and Claude left town. The next day, Morgan tragically jumped from a building, leading to widespread media coverage."

"The families claimed she was depressed," the host paused, "but was that the whole story? Our findings suggest otherwise. The autopsy indicated she was assaulted, and there were rumors that it happened before their argument."

The host then displayed two photos from the autopsy, showing a woman with bruises all over her body.
