“Haley, don’t be too upset. Wilfred hurt you, but you still have me. Don’t worry about him trying to trap you. You can count on me to protect you and help you leave him,” Justin declared with unwavering confidence. He knew Haley well. She wasn’t the type to tolerate betrayal or injustice, and being as vulnerable as she was, leaving Wilfred on her own would be nearly impossible. But he was determined to be the one to help her.“And your daughter? I’ll treat her as my own. I won’t let either of you suffer,” he vowed, his voice full of sincerity, hoping to show her he was someone she could rely on forever.“Get out of the car right now!” Haley snapped, her anger boiling over as she unlocked the car door.Justin, still rambling from the passenger seat, made no move to leave. Haley, furious, unbuckled her seatbelt, stormed out of the car, and yanked open the passenger door. She forcefully pulled Justin out of the seat, practically dragging him onto the street.“If you’re upset, you

“Ahhh—” Alex wailed dramatically.“Where’s Helen? I haven’t seen her around,” Haley asked.“Don’t even mention her!” Richard jumped at the chance to complain. “Ever since she went public with Zac, she’s been shamelessly skipping out on coming home. Sis, you need to set her straight.”She’s got a man now and has completely forgotten about her family, leaving the kids for him to look after.Haley started walking Chase and Alex upstairs. “You should hurry up and find a girlfriend yourself. Then you’ll understand why she doesn’t want to come home.”*At Harry’s villa, Stella’s loud voice echoed through the living room as she flew into a rage.“That old man! Even on his deathbed, he played favorites with the eldest son’s family. Didn’t you already bribe Attorney Lewis to alter the will? How did the shares we were supposed to get still slip through our fingers?”She was furious. Everything had been carefully planned, so how had it all fallen apart in the end? Sure, her mother-in-la

Stella stiffened her neck stubbornly, her heart brimming with grievances. “Everything I’ve done, who do you think it was for? It’s all for this family!”Jacob’s patience wore thin as he caught the sound of her whining. He had no tolerance for his mother’s constant tears and complaints.“Mrs. Long, take my mom to freshen up,” he ordered sharply, standing up and heading for the door.“Jacob, where are you going so late? Can’t you at least stay home for dinner?” Stella called after him, her red-rimmed eyes betraying her lingering frustration as Mrs. Long, the housekeeper, helped her up.“No, I’m eating out,” he said flatly, walking away without looking back.Once Jacob was gone, Stella mumbled under her breath, “Just like your good-for-nothing father. Dinner’s made at home, but he’s always running off somewhere.”*At the hospital, the housekeeper finished tidying up and started to pack up to leave. Emma casually found an excuse to send her away. “You can head home now. I have some

Helen noticed Zac frozen in place and nudged him with her elbow. "What’s wrong? Spaced out? Hurry up and follow me."“Oh, right!” Zac quickly snapped out of it, hiding his astonished expression as he hurried to catch up with her.The major work for the exhibit had already been completed the day before, so arriving early today was just for final preparations. Helen stayed close to Haley, helping her attach the discreet microphone she would need for her speech during the opening. The president of the Art Association entered the backstage area with a cheerful smile. “At today’s opening, we’ll have a surprise guest—the event’s top sponsor. It’s a special treat for all the artists, so be ready to give them a warm welcome.”Haley gave a polite nod, indicating she had heard.The other artists, however, couldn’t contain their curiosity. “President, can you give us a hint? Who is it?”“Why ask so many questions? You’ll see soon enough,” the president replied with a good-natured laugh, sh

Haley’s gaze turned icy, her expression aloof and condescending as she looked at Emma. “If you see Justin as a treasure, that’s your business. Don’t assume the whole world feels the same way.”Her eyes dropped to Emma’s stomach. “You know very well how you lost that baby. You’d better watch yourself and stop thinking you can get away with everything. Luck doesn’t always save you.”“You—!” Emma was more infuriated than if Haley had outright exposed her. “Are you saying you don’t like Justin anymore? Admit it, if you dare!”She was itching for Haley to confess—if Haley did, she would have the upper hand.“Hey, sis, we’re back!” Helen’s voice came from behind as she and Zac approached.The group exchanged glances.Emma froze. Helen? Zac?What were they doing here? If Zac was around, was Justin nearby too? Her panic surged as her eyes darted around, searching for Justin’s figure, terrified he might have overheard their conversation.Helen wrinkled her nose dramatically. “I wa

“Now, let’s welcome the most mysterious sponsor of this year’s art exhibit. Who could it be?” the host teased, building suspense.The spotlight shifted to the back of the stage, where a figure slowly emerged. Calm and composed, he greeted the audience with a confident wave, his gaze briefly sweeping across Haley’s position before moving on without pause.Haley narrowed her eyes. “So the mysterious sponsor is Justin?” she muttered. A wave of irritation swept over her. She couldn’t shake the feeling that he was toying with her.After the ceremony ended, the president of the Art Association personally escorted Justin backstage. Haley, with Helen’s help, was in the process of removing her microphone.“Miss Haley, this is Mr. Yates, the most prominent entrepreneur in the area. He’s a great admirer of your work and came specifically to see it,” the president introduced warmly.“Miss Haley, I’ve heard so much about you,” Justin said, extending his hand for a handshake, acting as though t

“Since Mr. Yates came with Miss Xander, we’d better not disturb you two while you enjoy the exhibit,” Haley said coolly, her voice distant as she turned and walked away, leaving the scene first.Helen glared at Emma’s overly dramatic display, clearly disgusted. After throwing both Emma and Justin a sharp look, she hurried to catch up with Haley. “Wait for me, sis!”Zac watched Justin with a mixture of disappointment and frustration, shaking his head as if to say, “What are you doing?” Without saying another word, he followed Helen.“Justin, why did Haley leave so suddenly?” Emma’s voice was soft, laced with faux concern. “Still, it’s good to know she’s alive. And now she’s even an artist. I wonder how she managed to survive those five years—must’ve met someone important along the way.”Her last sentence was laced with insinuation, suggesting Haley had used underhanded means to gain her status as an artist.Justin’s expression turned cold as he looked down at Emma, his gaze sharp a

The three walked off, leaving Haley feeling like an oversized, glaring third wheel. She quickly told them to find somewhere else to hang out so she could enjoy the exhibit in peace.Haley strolled through the venue alone, appreciating the works of other artists. Since it was a cultural art exhibit rather than a commercial one, it wasn’t nearly as exhausting as a personal showcase. Not long after, she noticed footsteps trailing her, always maintaining a deliberate distance. The weight of the gaze from behind was enough to make her skin crawl. Finally, she couldn’t take it anymore and spun around. “Justin, how far are you planning to push the limits of my tolerance? Are you seriously resorting to stalking now?”“I…” Justin was momentarily at a loss for words. He had followed her because he sensed she was upset, but he wasn’t sure how to start a conversation. Now that he had been called out, he walked up to her directly. “Don’t misunderstand. I didn’t invite Emma to the exhibit

On the other end of the call, Richard and the two boys watched the video over and over again. “Uncle Richard… is Mommy really okay? She has so many tubes attached to her,” Alex asked, his brows furrowed in worry. The sight unsettled him. Chase, despite being more studious, didn’t know much about medicine either. Like his younger brother, he turned to Richard with questioning eyes. Richard reassured them, “Those tubes are just monitoring her vital signs. Right now, your mom’s heartbeat is stable. As long as she stays in that room for the next twenty-four hours without complications, she’ll be fine.” “Another twenty-four hours?” Alex looked up at his uncle with a pitiful expression. That reassurance didn’t feel all that reassuring. “Alright, stop overthinking it. Get some sleep now, and when you wake up, the twenty-four hours will almost be up, and you can go see your mom.” Richard scooped up both kids and carried them upstairs to their room. After tucking them into

By the time Helen and Zac arrived outside the ICU, Justin was already standing by the window. He was motionless, staring inside like a statue—completely absorbed in the sight before him. Haley was still on a ventilator, her body covered in medical tubes due to excessive inhalation of toxic gas. Seeing this, Helen didn’t argue or make a fuss. Instead, she softened her steps and walked over with Zac. When would her sister finally be out of danger? No one knew how long they had been standing there when Wilfred arrived, his face weary from the rushed journey, his steps urgent. “You’re finally here!” The moment Helen saw Wilfred, she felt a wave of emotion rise in her chest. She wanted to cry again, but the thought that her sister had survived made her hold it in—crying now felt unlucky. Wilfred stepped forward and gently patted Helen’s head. “I’m here.” “Hi Wilfred,” Zac greeted as well. Wilfred nodded in acknowledgment. Meanwhile, Justin remained frozen in pla

A sharp slap echoed through the hospital room. Emma had just struck Jacob across the face. “Shut up! Stop spouting nonsense! Justin loves me! I was his first love, I was the one who saved his life—he loves me!” Something in her own words triggered her deeply. She couldn’t accept it. She could lie to herself all she wanted, but she wouldn’t allow anyone else to say it out loud. Especially not Jacob.That slap snapped Jacob back to his senses. Emma had once carried his child. If she hadn’t made the decision to get rid of it, that child would have been the first great-grandchild of the Yates family—one that would have already been born by now. Why? Why did the great-grandson get a share of the inheritance, but not him, the actual grandson? His eyes darkened with madness. Without hesitation, right there in the hospital room, he forced himself on Emma. He would make sure she gave him another son. *Outside the operating room, when Zac returned with the medicatio

Amid the heated argument, the hospital room door suddenly swung open, jolting Jacob awake from his unconscious state. “Emma!” His voice was hoarse, as if his throat had been scraped with gravel. That one call froze Emma in place like a spell had been cast upon her. Jacob was really alive! Like a relentless leech, he just wouldn’t die! Her eyes locked onto the man lying in the hospital bed, burning with hatred. Why was he still alive? Why hadn’t he just died already? “Come here,” his voice was weak, barely audible. “Miss Xander, go on. Mr. Yates is calling you,” the nurse nudged her, eyes twinkling at the sight of such a handsome man and beautiful woman together. They made quite the striking pair. The nurse quickly adjusted Jacob’s IV, removed the needle, and hurried out, even thoughtfully closing the door behind her. The soft click of the door pulled Emma out of her spiraling emotions. She curled her lips into what should have been a smile, but the expressi

“Hey, are you joking? The Yates family isn’t just rich—they’re filthy rich!” *Emma skimmed through the news, confirming that Jacob was dead. A satisfied smirk tugged at her lips as she turned to head back to the waiting area outside the operating room. So what if they didn’t want her there?She wanted to be there. She needed to see it—to witness Emily being covered with a white sheet. Slipping her phone back into her purse, she didn’t even glance at the comments under the video. There was no need. The report said, “One dead, two injured.” As far as she was concerned, the dead one was Jacob. After all, she had paid for both of these ‘accidents’ with her own money.She had barely walked a few steps when her phone rang again. “Hello?” “Is this Miss Xander? I’m a nurse from People's Hospital. A patient named Mr. Yates listed you as his emergency contact. He was in a car accident and has been admitted to our hospital. Would you be able to come in?”People’s Hospital

“What nonsense are you spouting now?” Zac scowled, his sharp gaze locked on Emma. What game was she playing this time? When had he ever said he wanted her gone because of Helen? Yes, he was telling her to leave, but for an entirely different reason than the one she had just implied. “If you and Helen can’t get along, then it’s best you leave,” Justin said, not wanting their constant bickering to disrupt Haley’s peace. Unbeknownst to them, the examination room door had silently swung open at some point. Justin stood there, observing them. It was unclear how much he had overheard. “Well, well! So Emma was trying to turn Justin against me just now,” Zac realized.“Justin, listen to me, I…” Zac hurried to explain, but halfway through, he realized that Justin was actually telling her to leave.Emma froze, her hand still pressed to her cheek where she had been wiping away nonexistent tears. What had he just said? He wanted her to leave? The tactic that had never fai

“She’s still not out? Don’t panic yet,” Richard reassured her. “I just rewatched the video carefully—her arms and legs are intact. She’s tough, Helen. She’s going to be fine. Just hang in there and wait.”It was rare for Richard to comfort her instead of bickering with her, but this time, he stepped up. “Aunt Helen, are you at the hospital? Have you seen Mom?” Alex and Chase tugged at Richard’s shirt, their little voices filled with urgency. Alex was on the verge of tears, while Chase, being the older brother, was holding his emotions in check but his reddened eyes gave him away. “Uncle Richard, let us talk to her!”“Stop messing around, both of you. Sit down and wait. I’ll tell you as soon as there’s any news.” Richard pried their hands off his shirt, which was dangerously close to being torn apart. His sister was still alive, but at this rate, his clothes wouldn’t make it through the night. “Call me the second you hear anything. I’ll be waiting.”Tonight, there wo

The hallway fell into an instant silence.Zac took one look at Justin’s injuries and said, “You need to get checked out. We’ll stay here and wait for her.”Justin was covered in sweat and grime, his clothes stained with blood, his back in even worse shape. Yet, he didn’t move. He didn’t speak. He just stood there, refusing to leave until he saw Haley come out of that operating room. He needed to make sure she was okay. Seeing this, Zac grew anxious and tried to persuade him. “If Haley wakes up and sees you like this, she’ll be worried. Do you really think she’d want the man who saved her to be covered in wounds himself? Come on—”Before he could finish, Zac yelped. “Ow—ah!” It was Helen. Her hands had latched onto his waist, fingers digging into his side as she leaned in and hissed through gritted teeth, “My sister wouldn’t worry about him! Do you even hear yourself? If you don’t know what to say, just shut up! He got hurt? Good! He deserves it!”She might have kept h

Zac sighed helplessly. “It’s not that I don’t care. It’s just that yelling her name won’t make a difference right now. The nurse already said she’s in surgery.”The two had met up at her house. Tonight, Helen had canceled their date because she wanted to go to the airport to see her sister and nephews off. But after waiting at home for what felt like forever, Haley still hadn’t returned. The security team and the car that had transported her paintings had arrived a long time ago—yet there was no sign of her.Helen had been growing increasingly anxious when Richard suddenly came across a breaking news video online—footage of a car explosion. The moment they saw the images, they instantly recognized the two figures in the video: Haley and Justin. Helen panicked and was about to rush out the door when Zac called. He had seen the news too. Knowing she would be too emotional to think straight, he had driven straight to her place to pick her up.As soon as they arrived at the hospi
