Haley swatted his hand away and snatched her phone back. “If you want a happy and fulfilling life, go build it with Emma. We’re not compatible,” she said coldly, turning to leave. Justin quickly stepped in front of her, blocking her path. His tone was urgent as he explained, “It’s not like that with Emma! I only feel gratitude toward her—there’s no love!” “No love, but you still slept with her?” Haley’s gaze dropped to the hand barring her way. Her voice was icy. “Move your hand. You disgust me.” The air between them froze, heavy with tension. Justin’s hand, still raised in front of her, trembled slightly as uncertainty and panic filled his face. After a long silence, his voice came out hoarse and low. “I didn’t mean for it to happen. I drank too much that night, and when I woke up… she was in the hotel bed. It wasn’t intentional, Haley. Please believe me!” Mentioning that day brought a wave of pain that Justin hated to revisit. It had struck his life like a thunde

Why, out of all the people in the world, did Justin insist on clinging to her sister? Emma was already back. Why didn’t he go after her instead? “Justin is in love with your sister. Don’t you see that?” Zac said, exasperated. He wanted to crack open Helen’s head to see what was inside—besides her sister and her obsession with vanity. Was there even a tiny corner reserved for him? “It’s not just some shallow infatuation a man might feel for a woman. He loves her deeply! Over the past five years, that love has become part of him, ingrained in his very being, so much so that he can’t escape it.” Seeing that Helen had gone quiet, Zac pressed on. “If Haley doesn’t love him anymore, then it’s all meaningless. But if there’s even a shred of love left between them, why not let them have a chance to reconnect?” Helen stared blankly at the road ahead, her eyes unfocused, as if lost in thought. It was unclear whether Zac’s words had reached her. Suddenly, something seemed to cli

“I’ve told you before—if you turn over a new leaf, I can help you find a decent job. Stop sinking so low! Do you really think being a mistress to a married man is something to be proud of? Have you ever thought about your family? Do you know how much shame you’ve brought them by being a kept woman?” Peyton stood on his self-righteous pedestal, preaching at her as if he had the moral high ground. “Peyton, didn’t that slap from last time teach you anything?” Helen raised her hand, her voice laced with fury. “You want another one?” Seeing her hand lift, Peyton instinctively flinched, stepping back. He glanced nervously around, noticing the attention their argument was drawing. But instead of shrinking, the audience seemed to embolden him, like an imaginary army of onlookers backing his sense of justice. Pointing a finger at Zac, Peyton sneered, “Don’t think I’m afraid of you just because your family has money. Does being rich give you the right to bully people? Go ahead, hit m

“Believe it or not, but buy your ice cream and get lost!” Helen snapped, pointing at Peyton. Then, turning to Zac, who was paying at the counter, and the cashier, she added, “The treat doesn’t include him. He pays for himself!” “Got it,” the cashier replied cheerfully. As a fellow woman, she naturally sided with Helen. Once Zac finished paying, their ice cream was ready. Not wanting to stay and attract more attention, they decided to take everything to go and eat in the car instead. By the time they turned around, Peyton had already slinked away, humiliated by the murmurs of the other customers. In the car, Zac barely ate a bite before he started whining dramatically. “Wifey, I’m so upset! We’re officially married, and people still don’t believe I’m your husband.” He waved his left hand in front of her face, showing off his bare ring finger. “I don’t even have a wedding ring yet, let alone a ceremony! And we’re still sleeping in separate beds. Who does that? What newly

Haley sighed deeply. “Take it all back. I don’t want any of it.”She took a few steps back, turning to head toward the front door of her house. Justin, seeing this, didn’t dare stop her as forcefully as he had earlier that afternoon. Instead, he exchanged a quick glance with William, and the two hurriedly carried all the bags to her doorstep, setting them down before retreating just as quickly. It was almost comical—the way they dashed back to the car, as if being chased. Without so much as a goodbye, the car roared off like a rocket, leaving Haley standing in the night breeze, completely dumbfounded. She stared at the pile of bags in front of her, stunned, unable to react in time to stop them. From the window, Richard caught a glimpse of his sister’s shadow outside. Curious as to why she hadn’t come in yet, he opened the door. “Whoa! What’s all this?”Haley let out a tired sigh. “Just bring it inside.”Once inside, Richard and Alex eagerly began rummaging through the ba

Caught red-handed, even Helen, as bold as she was, stumbled over her words. “What… what does it have to do with you? And why are you even up this early? Shouldn’t you be asleep?” she deflected, attempting to change the subject. Richard raised the glass of water in his hand. “What, I can’t come downstairs for a drink?” He took a sip before adding smugly, “And for the record, I’m not waking up. I haven’t gone to bed yet.” Proud of his night owl status, he bit into a waffle. “Don’t bother calling me for breakfast. I’ll be asleep.” “Good! Sleep forever for all I care,” Helen muttered under her breath. Back in her room, she changed into pajamas and flopped onto her bed. “Ah, so tired!” she groaned. Just as she was drifting off, she heard noises in the hallway. Stifling a yawn, she dragged herself out of bed. Half-finished naps were worse than early mornings. Downstairs, Haley was enjoying her breakfast. Chase and Alex were still asleep. Helen strolled over and greete

Haley raised an eyebrow and replied coolly, “Do I look like someone who would go back to an ex?” Helen grinned mischievously. “Alright, fine. But… what about other men? You’re in your prime right now. Isn’t it a shame not to date?” Lately, Helen had been basking in the blissful glow of her own romance. Naturally, she wanted her sister to experience the same happiness. But dating hadn’t even crossed Haley’s mind. With two kids and a thriving career, she felt her life was already full. “Forget it. I’m not planning on finding a ‘dad’ for the boys,” she said firmly. Helen rolled her eyes. “Who says dating has to lead to marriage? You could just date for fun!” She had seen plenty of examples like that. Haley shot her a sharp glare, and Helen immediately clammed up. “I’m heading to the exhibit,” Haley said as she finished her coffee and stood up. “Make sure you sort out that pile of stuff in the storage room while I’m gone.” “Got it,” Helen mumbled. Haley paused at

“Are you two fighting?” Helen pushed the door open, surprised to see the brothers in a tug-of-war over clothes. Seeing their aunt, Chase and Alex immediately released their grip and greeted her sweetly, “Aunt Helen!” Helen glanced at the scattered toys on the floor and pointed at Alex. “Clean this up. Your flight’s at dawn tomorrow. If you don’t pack everything in time, I’ll just keep all these toys for myself.” She said it like a threat, hoping to instill some urgency. Instead, Alex blinked up at her. “Aunt Helen, you’re not coming back with us?” “I still have some things to take care of here,” Helen explained. “I’ll come visit you guys later.” Chase, ever the sharp one, smirked. “By ‘things to take care of,’ you mean Uncle Zac, right? Haven’t you locked things down with him yet, or is Grandma Evelyn the one you still need to win over? How much longer before you bring him home?”Unlike Alex, who had already gotten used to calling Zac Uncle-in-law, Chase was still he

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
