Chapter: Chapter 94: Grow old togetherIn a spacious duplex penthouse of over 300m2 in the heart of the city, Harry and his wife, along with their two little angels, lived happily day by day. After the two kids went to school each day, Emma would often sit at home studying scripts before moving back and forth between film shooting locations.In the afternoon, Harry would come home early to pick up the kids after school, then they would go to the supermarket together and cook dinner for her.This year, Charlie turned 10, handsome and intelligent. Originally, his attendance at junior high school drew significant attention, but his charming appearance garnered much admiration from friends around.However, every time friends invited him to hang out, he would coldly refuse because he had to pick up his little sister Ariel from kindergarten and wait for their father to come home together.Life was peaceful and calm, except for one thing..."Mom, why am I not in this picture?"Ariel, a 4-year-old girl, held a photo against Emma's

Chapter: Chapter 93: I love you"Boss, Madam said you're exploiting her labor. She wants to resign.""Resign? I disagree." Harry wore his gold-rimmed glasses, focused on the stack of documents on the table. His hand continuously signed contracts that his company had recently won.As soon as he raised his head, it seemed like the sunlight of the summer sun could compare to his handsome face, "Has she not realized her mistake yet?"Observing Harry's calm expression, Martin silently chuckled. In front of others, Harry could maintain the cold and arrogant facade; however, facing his wife, could he keep up such composure?"What are you laughing at?" Harry glared at Martin, noticing his suppressed laughter."Boss, this time, Madam wants to resign as your wife. Besides working and taking care of Charlie, she claims constantly comforting you is too exhausting as a wife.""Impossible!" The deep hoarse voice suddenly raised its pitch.As soon as Martin finished speaking, Harry slammed the table, losing the calm demeanor he ha

Chapter: Chapter 92: A normal morningThe sun was just rising. Soft light poured into the room, illuminating a couple cuddling affectionately in bed.“Good morning, baby.”“Morning.”Emma rubbed her eyes, gave Harry a peck on the lips, and stretched her body.Suddenly, Harry's large hand reached around Emma's bare waist. The contact of their skin gave Emma a cool sensation, and she let out a soft moan."What time is it? We need to take Charlie to school..." Her sweet voice still had a hint of huskiness as she pushed Harry's chest away and reached for her phone.However, Harry remained firm, holding onto her waist tightly. He bent down to kiss the white nape of her neck, his cool lips gliding over her soft skin as he inhaled her fragrance.“The school is right across the street. He can go to school on his own..."“Come on, Charlie's going to sulk again. I can't comfort him anymore..." She laughed, then ran her hands through his hair, tilted her head up and gently kissed his throat.“Ah…”Harry used one hand to push her hea

Chapter: Chapter 91: Charles's heartache"Want a smoke?""No, she doesn't like the smell of cigarettes."Harry shook his head in refusal, pushing the offered cigarette from Charles a bit away with his index finger.Charles stored the pack of cigarettes inside his vest pocket, casually leaned back against the car, and took a deep drag. He lifted his head to gaze at the pitch-black sky, devoid of moon and stars, remaining silent as time passed without uttering a word.Harry crossed his arms over his chest. The waft of cigarette smoke in the air made him slightly furrow his brow, his deep voice resonating, "If you've got something to say, say it out. I still need to get back to deal with some work at the company.""The first time I met her was in a corner of the university campus. I was facing off against a group of troublemaker students to protect a stray cat, and she came running, cursing them straight to their faces to defend me."Harry's expression stiffened suddenly, the corners of his mouth twitched, and a complex emotion

Chapter: Chapter 90: Belated happinessIn the capital city."Do you dare to show up at my doorstep?!" The fierce roaring voice carried immense anger, shaking the entire small villa.Mr. Garcia brandished a broom, driving Harry out towards the main gate. His chest heaved with rage, and he thrust the broom without mercy at Harry, but luckily he still avoided it.Pointing his finger directly at Harry's face, Mr. Garcia patted his chest to calm his breathing and said, "Get out of my sight quickly. Do you think bringing gifts to please me, I will allow you to be with my daughter?”The front door slammed shut, leaving Harry standing there looking pitiful and helpless.It seemed that the real difficulty had just arrived.A few hours earlier."Do you think this suit looks okay on me? Handsome enough? Does an all-black look from head to toe make me too scary?"Harry continuously adjusted his hairstyle while looking in the mirror. He then turned around for Emma and Charlie to admire. He nervously straightened the edges of his vest a

Chapter: Chapter 89: Marry me"Harry!" The anguished call echoed in Emma's heart from a distance.At this moment, all the forces Manuel had arranged along with the police arrived to surround the black car. The mafia inside, realizing they had fallen into a trap, couldn't help but curse silently. They slammed the car doors shut, intending to escape, but found themselves unable to run."Daddy! Daddy!" Tears streamed down with Charlie's tender voice, making the scene even more heart-wrenching.A 5-year-old boy cried, clinging to his father in the shelter of his small arms. From start to finish, Harry used his body to shield Charlie from witnessing the horrifying scene that had just occurred.But Charlie sensed Harry's continuously heavy and weakening breath."Sweetie, mommy is coming. You mustn't cry. Daddy almost made a big mistake just now. I'm so sorry, baby..." He held Charlie tightly in his chest, gently stroking his head."Daddy, I don't want you to die. I haven't had a chance to tell you how much I love you, a

Chapter: Chapter 65: PregnantAt Austin Miller’s house. Austin sat on the sofa, watching as the doctor and nurse checked Lysia’s vitals once again. About two minutes later, they completed the health examination and began packing up their equipment. Before Austin could say anything, the doctor removed his mask and calmly informed him, “Mr. Miller, you can rest assured—your wife is fine. She only has a common cold, which caused some physical weakness and led to her fainting. However, she must stay in a relaxed state, as that would be best for the baby. In these early stages, you and your family should take good care of her.” This doctor had been called in for Lysia’s emergency case and had witnessed Austin’s deep concern for her from start to finish. Naturally, he had misunderstood the relationship between the two. The more Austin listened, the more confused he became. His brows furrowed as he asked, “Excuse me? What baby are you talking about?” “The baby in her womb. Your child? Don’t tell me you didn’t kn

Chapter: Chapter 64: A Debt Of GratitudeThat night, instead of returning to Reinhart Grand Apartment, Lysia went back to the Kingsley estate. As soon as she entered her familiar bedroom, she collapsed onto the bed, burying her face in the pillow. Before long, soft sobs echoed through the room.Kyle’s sharp, scolding voice kept replaying in her mind, over and over again.For someone who had always been cherished like Lysia, this was a severe emotional blow, especially since it came from the man she loved deeply.The next morning, Lysia woke up and got ready for work as usual.When she turned on her phone, there were no missed calls. No messages.She truly wanted to stand in front of Kyle and ask him, “Just what exactly do you mean by this attitude?”When she went downstairs, the butler looked surprised to see her in the mansion. After all, she had returned in the middle of the night when everyone was already fast asleep. Only the security guards knew she had come back.“Lys, I didn’t know you were home, so I didn’t prepare b

Chapter: Chapter 63: Kyle's First Outburst“Thank you, Captain Grey. It was truly fortunate that you arrived in time,” Lysia shook hands with James Grey and smiled in gratitude.James returned her smile, a stark contrast to the serious demeanor he had while on duty. “You did well by calling the police in advance, Mrs. Reinhart. I live in the apartment across the hall, so jumping in to handle an emergency like this is just second nature to a cop.”“You live here?” Lysia asked in surprise before turning to glance at Helen, who stood behind her.Noticing Helen grimacing in pain, Lysia stepped closer and lowered her voice, “Are you okay?”Helen tried to suppress her discomfort, her face pale as she forced out, “I… I’m fine…”Lysia, however, was unconvinced. She firmly pulled back the hem of Helen’s shirt, revealing a large bruise along her side. Her expression darkened for a brief moment before she grabbed Helen’s arm and led her toward her car. “I’m taking you to the hospital for a checkup.”“Mrs. Reinhart, wait a moment,” James

Chapter: Chapter 62: Mend A Broken Friendship"Mr. Reinhart, R-Tech's stock is continuously declining. It seems that news of our technological defeat has spread throughout the city," Sebastian reported from his seat to Kyle’s right, his eyes fixed on the candlestick chart displayed on his computer screen.In just a few short hours, R-Tech had lost 500,000 shares."This is a sign of a sell-off," Kyle observed coldly."A sell-off?" Sebastian and several other R-Tech employees exchanged surprised glances.Kyle held the latest stock market report for R-Tech, tracking data from the past two months—the exact timeframe when NexusAI had begun making moves in Reeds City. A massive influx of capital had surged into R-Tech, rapidly driving up its stock price, even before Kyle had approved funding for the company's new project. As an astute executive, Kyle had noticed the unusual activity early on.However, he lacked the concrete evidence to draw conclusions. Reeds City was home to many hidden affluent investors. Initially, he had assumed th

Chapter: Chapter 61: Unexpected Results“Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. On behalf of Mr. Ryan Kingsley, I would like to announce the start of today’s meeting. We have placed the two plans of R-Tech and NexusAI on the table at your seats. Before listening to the presentations of each party, please read them first to make your own assessment, contributing to the objective vote at the end of the meeting.” David Thompson, the head of transportation and logistics of Kingsley Group’s headquarters, stood at the podium. He then added, looking down at the seats filled with shareholders and representatives from the two companies, “Okay, now which company wants to present first?” In an instant, the whispers suddenly disappeared. The entire room seemed to be holding its breath, waiting for one of the two parties to volunteer to come forward first. Austin leisurely tapped his fingers on the armrest of the chair and then smirked, “Because it is a small business that has just entered the Reeds City market, then Reinhart Corpor

Chapter: Chapter 60: Avoiding AustinOne week later.Today marked the presentation of technology solutions by R-Tech, a subsidiary of Reinhart Corporation, and NexusAI. As a shareholder of Kingsley Corporation, Lysia attended the event and participated in the voting process. Initially, it was believed that only NexusAI possessed the innovative technology they needed. However, in just a few short months since NexusAI's announcement, R-Tech's team had successfully developed a similar system with additional enhancements.Kingsley Corporation’s logistics system had been facing severe issues. Fortunately, with Reinhart Corporation's assistance, the situation had temporarily stabilized, allowing operations to continue smoothly until a new technological system could be implemented.Reinhart Corporation was given a one-week deadline.Most Kingsley shareholders were astonished by Reinhart Corporation’s impressive capabilities. Under Kyle Reinhart’s leadership, the company had experienced exponential growth and demonstrated signif

Chapter: Chapter 106: ReunionOne year later.In London.“Hailey, Ryan, stop running around!”“It’s raining. Hurry up and get inside!”I sipped on my hot tea and watched Marie trying to keep the two kids in line. As I saw the rain splashing against the clear glass window, I thought about getting up to fetch an umbrella for them, but Nolan stopped me.“Just relax, I already gave them one. Hailey will come inside soon—she hates getting wet in the rain.” He set a plate of pastries in front of me and sat down beside me.Then, he rested his head against my large, round belly and playfully asked, “Son, have you been making mommy tired today?”That’s right, I was nine months pregnant, and the little one inside me was a boy. Every night, I eagerly awaited his arrival, imagining his face and thinking he would probably look just like his dad, Nolan. The doctor said my due date was approaching soon, so I had to be careful with every move I made.I ran my fingers through Nolan’s soft, short hair, teasingly saying, “I think yo

Chapter: Chapter 105: The Rescue Rosalynn’s POV.A musty smell enveloped me as I slowly opened my eyes, realizing I was tied up. My heart skipped a beat when I remembered my daughter.Just then, something soft brushed against me. I looked down and saw Hailey lying next to me, fast asleep. Relief washed over me, but my head still throbbed, likely from the lingering effects of the sedative.I sat up and scanned the room. It was clear—we’d been kidnapped.But who would dare pull this off so close to Nolan’s estate? And how did they slip past Alex’s guard?“You’re awake, huh?” A woman’s voice echoed through the room as the door to this dingy warehouse creaked open.Being a pianist, I was more sensitive to sounds than most, and my memory of voices was sharp. I recognized her immediately without needing to look, “Christine Watson. You should be locked up in the police station awaiting trial. How did you escape?”Christine let out a loud, deranged laugh, “If I told you Nolan had mercy on me and didn’t hand me over to the po

Do you have an arrest warrant, or are you just barging into our home?”As I stepped into the Watson family's grand hall, Christine’s screams echoed loudly. She showed her sharp and aggressive side in front of the officers arresting Kyle. That sweet, gentle expression of hers, it seemed, only ever appeared when she was with me.The moment she saw me, Christine’s eyes lit up as if she had found a savior. She rushed over to me and pleaded, “Nolan, please! There must be some mistake. Tell them to release my father.”I pulled my hand away, not hiding the annoyance on my face, “Enough, Christine.”“What?” She froze, looking at me with confusion in her eyes, “What do you mean?”The officer beside me presented the arrest warrant and said firmly, “Mr. Kyle Watson is suspected of orchestrating the fire at the Kingston mansion 27 years ago. And Miss Christine Watson, you are believed to be an accomplice fo

Chapter: Chapter 103: DecodingRosalynn's POV.Early afternoon on Saturday, I impatiently sat in the living room of Nolan's mansion and waited for the team to decrypt the USB I had just found. Looking at the clock as the minutes ticked by, I kept walking back and forth so continuously that Hailey got dizzy and she frowned at me.“Rosa, can you stop walking? You're influencing me to study!” She pouted at me, holding a crayon on her hip, looking very adorable.Today I braided Hailey's hair into pigtails. Every time she bent down to study, the ends of her hair will wiggle with each movement of her pen.I sat down and hugged Hailey and kissed her head affectionately, “I'm sorry, sweetie. So now I'll sit quietly and watch you study, is that okay?"Hailey nodded and then held up the painting she had just completed for me to see with bright eyes. It seems that since childhood, she has loved painting. She is very sensitive to mixing colors, more interested in pictures than numbers. One day when I went to school to pick her

Chapter: Chapter 102: Conflicts repeatRosalynn's POV.Mark seemed scared by Nolan's appearance as his face turned pale and all of his aggressive appearance was gone. He glared at his wife and then grabbed his suitcase to leave the house, but Nolan's large body was blocking the door.He didn't dare to speak to Nolan, so he turned and walked back to his room, then slammed the door hard.Mark's wife, her name was Rachael, immediately collapsed to the floor and covered her face, crying helplessly. I moved closer to comfort her, and at the same time, Riley's room door also opened.The little girl, her face filled with tears, ran out and hugged me and her mother. Perhaps I always deeply sympathize with Riley because her eyes are exactly the same as when I was adopted by the Carter family. Every day there would often be thugs coming to collect debt, they would destroy things and my adoptive parents would have to kneel down to beg them. I once desperately begged everyone to spare our family, but at that time I did not understand

My eyes looked toward the closed piano box, and a ray of pain gently passed through my heart, making the bridge of my nose sting.Anne patted my shoulder and her warm voice rang out, “Mr. Nolan always cleaned this piano himself without anyone touching it, not even Hailey.”“I know that. A few days ago, Hailey revealed it to me.” I chuckled and sat up straight, holding Anne's hand tightly.When she looked at my face again, tears welled up in her eyes and she pursed her lips to control her choking, “Luckily you're alive and well, Rosa. Where have you been lately? It is said that you have found your family, they are very rich and also love you. I was very worried when I heard you left with nothing."I felt the back of Anne's hand. Because of regular housework, combined with her growing age, her skin has shown signs of aging. Listening to her ask a seri
