Chase sat nearby, glancing at his uncle. Was he really not afraid that Helen would come back and make him pay for this? Richard smirked. “Afraid? Please. She’s tattled on me to Mom plenty of times. Consider this payback.”Huh? His eyes suddenly narrowed at a suspicious transaction.* Meanwhile, back in the hospital room, Zac and Haley were brainstorming solutions. “What’s done is done. Let’s focus on fixing it. What does your mom like? We’ll go buy something for her now.” As her future son-in-law, he couldn’t show up empty-handed. It was also time for him to have a proper conversation with her family about their marriage. Depending on Helen’s mood, they could even set a date to meet. “You and Zac should just go out, clear your head, and buy whatever you like. Don’t forget to pick up a phone for me while you’re at it—and get Mom a little something, maybe some specialty gifts or diamond jewelry. Once you see her, say a few nice words, soften her up, and this will all blo

Justin lowered his gaze slightly, then walked over and handed his phone to Haley. “Is there anything you want to buy? The password is six fives, same for the bank card.” He really was clueless when it came to women. For the past few days, all he had done was set up the TV for her, completely forgetting that online shopping could have helped pass the time. “Does your mother like diamond? There’s a jewelry auction next month—I’ll take you. Pick whatever you like, and I’ll pay for it.” He was trying so hard to do something right, but no matter what, there would always be gaps in his efforts. “You don’t have to do this.” Haley looked at him, her expression unreadable. “You saved me. I should be grateful. How could I spend your money?” Her voice was calm, but distant. “You’ve taken care of me these past few days, and I truly appreciate it. But I’m doing much better now. I don’t need anyone looking after me anymore.“You’re busy with work. You should go back to th

Evelyn had specifically named her and Zac to pick her up. She had arrived too fast. Helen hadn’t even had time to mentally prepare. Now, she sat in the car, wearing a face of pure misery, completely silent. And it was all Richard’s fault! That big-mouthed traitor! His mouth was looser than an old woman’s baggy sweatpants!He just had to spill everything. Zac squeezed her hand, comforting her. “Relax. I’m the one being evaluated here. What are you so nervous about?” His impression of Evelyn was still based on five years ago, when she and Helen had visited the hospital while Haley was sick. Back then, she carried an air of authority, but overall, she had seemed kind and easygoing. Helen turned to look at Zac, watching him focus on driving—completely unaware of the reality that was about to hit him. She silently mourned for him. Outside of her role as a mother, Evelyn was the one person in their family that no one dared to cross. Even Wilfred—the stron

By the time the car pulled into Mistletoe Villa, it was already 2 a.m. In just two more hours, the sun would rise. Evelyn stepped out of the backseat, while Helen waved goodbye to Zac. “Come here.” Evelyn’s voice was cold and composed. “Oh.” Helen quickly responded, obediently walking over to her mother’s side. Just as they were about to head inside, she suddenly remembered something. “Mom, we bought gifts for you! Zac, hurry and bring them over.” Zac hesitated for a brief moment. Now wasn’t the best time. Evelyn might be speaking politely, but there was still a distant formality in her demeanor. It would be better to wait until they had spent more time together—then the gift would have a stronger effect. But since his wife had spoken, he had no choice but to listen. He opened the trunk, took out the carefully chosen presents, and brought them over. Evelyn glanced at them briefly but made no move to accept them. Nor did she signal for the guard

Helen muttered under her breath, “We’re legally married.” Evelyn shot her a sharp glare. One look. That was all it took to shut Helen up. She immediately lowered her head in silence. “If he’s not willing to come, then he’s not fit to be my son-in-law.” Evelyn declared coldly. Helen didn’t hesitate. She yanked out her phone and quickly said, “I’ll call him right now. He’ll be here at seven sharp.” Only then did Evelyn seem satisfied. She followed the housekeeper upstairs, first checking on Chase and Alex, who were still sound asleep in the children’s room. Then, she returned to the room that had already been prepared for her. *Downstairs, Helen was grumbling the entire time as she reluctantly dialed Zac’s number. Turns out, he had just gotten home—but despite the late hour, he agreed to the seven a.m. pickup without a single complaint. The call ended, and Helen muttered bitterly, “She won’t take gifts, but she sure doesn’t hesitate to order people around.”

“Mom?” Haley was stunned for a second before her face lit up with joy. Evelyn stepped into the room. Oh, this was rich. One man had tricked her younger daughter into marriage.The other was lingering in her elder daughter's hospital room.What a pair of great ‘brothers’ indeed. “Hi, Mrs. Walker. It's great to finally meet you.”Justin, usually so composed, felt a rare flicker of nervousness in front of Evelyn.This was Haley’s mother, after all.Evelyn barely spared him a glance before replying, her voice cold.“I’m pretty sure our family doesn’t feel the same way.”The very first thing she said, and she had already put him in his place.It was clear just how unwelcome he was in her eyes. Seeing Justin completely shut down, Zac quietly laughed to himself. Finally. Finally, someone else had to experience his mother-in-law’s wrath. Why should he be the only one suffering? Justin opened his mouth but immediately shut it again, his voice stuck in his thro

“I don’t want a stake in the market,” Justin said firmly. “If Haley wants, I can transfer all my shares in the Merikan medical company to her immediately.“I can also give her my shares in RC Corporation.” As if one company wasn’t enough, he added another. “Cough—cough!” Zac had just taken a sip of water when he nearly choked at Justin’s words. Was he copying me? Did he really think this move would work on Haley? Zac had his doubts. Haley’s expression remained unreadable. She only blinked once before looking away. Helen, on the other hand, gawked. Fifty percent of the Merikan medical company’s shares? Plus shares in RC Corporation? That was an insane amount of money. With that kind of wealth as backing, their family’s power in Ostland State could double overnight. Wouldn’t that make them as rich as an entire country?As for the remaining fifty percent of the medical company’s shares?Of course, they were in her hands.Zac had already transferred

At Mistletoe Villa, Evelyn stepped out of the car and made her way straight to Richard’s study.Inside, Richard sat at his desk, staring at his computer screen, his frown deepening the longer he looked.Every single one of Emma’s transactions—big or small—checked out. The numbers all lined up perfectly.So where was the problem? A knock on the door. “Come in.” It was Evelyn. She had come alone—Helen wasn’t with her. “What have you found?” she asked, getting straight to the point. Richard sighed, his expression troubled. “Mom, we’ve hit a dead end.“The one who made the attempt was just a low-level gun-for-hire, someone lurking on the outskirts of the underworld. Based on exposed skin and height comparisons, he’s most likely from Southeast Atlantis.“But as for the person who hired him?” Richard shook his head. “Still no leads. We’ve lost the trail.” His brows furrowed even deeper. They still hadn’t identified the one behind the attack on his sister. For the fi

Justin wasn’t without blood relatives in this world. He still had his two sons—Chase and Alex.The thought lingered at the tip of Haley’s tongue, but in the end, she held it back. She considered telling him for a moment but decided against it.“I'm sorry,” Justin's voice was thick, weighed down by the remnants of his tears.Haley was surprised. She hadn’t expected him to apologize. Shaking her head, she replied, “It's fine.”Though, thanks to him, her pajama top was damp with tears. Now she would have to change.Justin released her and, seeing that she was still awake, no longer bothered to soften his footsteps.Under the dim glow of the small nightlight in the living area, he made his way to the bathroom. Turning on the faucet, he splashed cold water onto his face, washing away the traces of his tears.Haley said nothing. She simply used the moment he was in the bathroom to change into fresh sleepwear.When he came back out, he flipped on the main light, his face composed once

Outside, the night was still and quiet.Justin stood by his car, making no move to open the door. An unlit cigarette rested between his fingers.He wanted to smoke, but the thought of the lingering scent clinging to him and bothering Haley made him hesitate. His dark eyes were fixed on the distant city skyline, his thoughts drifting. He stood there for a long time, lost in thought, until William’s voice pulled him back to the present. “Mr. Yates, we should go.” Snapping out of it, Justin finally reached for the car door, ready to head back to the hospital. But before he could step in, his phone rang. It was Emma. “Justin, I saw the news online. Is it true? Is Aunt Heidi… is she really gone?” Emma’s voice was filled with concern, laced with just a hint of fear—soft, fragile, like an innocent little rabbit. On the other end of the call, she held her phone in one hand, scrolling through news videos on a tablet with the other. Despite the worry in her voice, her e

Justin answered truthfully, “My mother had a habit of traveling. She texted the house staff, saying she was going on a trip. None of us thought much of it at the time. It wasn’t until two days later, when we couldn’t reach her, that I started searching.“When I checked her bank statements and found no transactions at all, I knew something was wrong. That same night, I reported her missing.”The officers took note. His statement aligned with the messages found on Heidi’s phone.“All right, we’re done here. You’re free to go,” the officer said, organizing the case file before tapping on the final page. “Sign here.”Justin mechanically repeated the process. Perhaps because he had just signed his name in the morgue, this time, his signature was a little smoother. But it was still unsteady, his hand refusing to cooperate.As he put down the pen and pressed his fingerprint on the document, he finally asked the question that had been gnawing at him. “What was my mother’s cause of death

“Nothing in this world is impossible. A rich, single woman like her? Maybe she was meeting up with some guy in the middle of the night and just fell into the river.” “Show some respect. You got proof she was with some guy?” “Please, how many rich people are actually decent? They’re all the same.” “Sounds like you’re projecting. Just because you’re a mess doesn’t mean everyone else is.” The comment section quickly spiraled into chaos, with arguments taking a turn for the absurd. However, among the noise, a few people who recognized Heidi from elite circles saw the post and immediately informed their families. *At the police station, officers rushed to the scene as soon as the report came in. They conducted a thorough examination and retrieved the body. Heidi’s handbag and other personal belongings were sent for forensic analysis. Her water-damaged phone was repaired and powered back on that same night, revealing a suicide note, text messages about hiring a hitman,

Evelyn’s tone was somewhere between a question and a statement.“Justin’s mom? Why would she go after my sister?” Helen, who had come home a day early for once, furrowed her brows in confusion. Both she and Evelyn turned to Richard, waiting for an answer. Richard shrugged. “You’re asking me? Who the hell am I supposed to ask?“The hitman’s IP address was traced back to her phone. The transaction logs, the call history, even a suicide note—I printed everything out.” His tone was laced with irritation. They had spent all this time digging into Emma, only for the real culprit to walk right into their hands. It felt like throwing punches at thin air—then having the target show up and hit themselves instead. “It doesn’t add up, though. My sister had no connection to Heidi whatsoever.” Helen shook her head, still struggling to make sense of it. “They barely even saw each other. There was no grudge, no history. Why would she target Haley?” Even someone as oblivious as H

Richard had attempted to trace the buyer’s IP address before, but it had always shown as inactive. He had assumed the culprit had destroyed their electronic devices to erase any evidence. Yet now, out of nowhere, the signal had popped up again. Without hesitation, he followed the digital trail, reverse-tracing it back to its source. He had expected obstacles—perhaps even deliberate interference. But the process was shockingly smooth. Until he saw the location. The police station? *Meanwhile, at the hospital, Justin received a call. “Hello, is this Mr. Yates?” The cold, mechanical voice on the other end came from the Lincourt City Police Department. “A body was discovered near the riverbank on the outskirts of the city. After conducting DNA tests, we’ve confirmed that the remains match those of your mother, Heidi Yates. We need you to come in to identify the body.” It was like a bolt of lightning, striking him in broad daylight. From the moment William reported

“Look what I got you—a brand-new Ultra Warrior figure!” Sean’s voice was full of excitement as he held up the toy. Alex’s smile faltered for a split second. Could he say he didn’t like them anymore? He had switched to Iron Man now. But not wanting to upset Uncle Sean, he quickly put on his best happy face, beaming up at him. “Thanks, Uncle Sean! It’s my favorite!” Still cradling the toy, he let Sean carry him inside. *The moment Sean stepped through the door of Mistletoe Villa, he greeted warmly, “Aunt Evelyn, I came to see you.” Having known and mentored him for years, Evelyn was naturally familiar with him. “Sean, you’re here! Come in and have a seat.” She motioned for a maid. “Go call Richard and Chase down.” Knowing how much Sean had looked after Haley when she had lost her memory in Haven State, Evelyn had always treated him well. Over the years, she had introduced him to high-profile legal cases, and even hired him as the family’s official legal ad

Haley remained on the balcony, watching until Sean’s car disappeared down the street. Only then did she turn back inside.She then grabbed her phone to send a quick message home, letting them know that Sean had arrived.Just as she hit send, the door swung open.Justin stepped in, his earlier hostility toward Sean nowhere to be seen. He closed the door behind him and walked over to her, his presence noticeably quieter.Haley barely acknowledged him. She spared him a fleeting glance before turning back to her phone, uninterested. Sean had brought her some fruit salad, and since she still had a little room left, she figured she might as well enjoy it. She turned on the TV, settling into her seat comfortably as she snacked.As far as she was concerned, Justin was nothing more than background noise.Justin said nothing at first. He had countless things he wanted to ask, a million thoughts running through his mind, but he already knew that she wouldn’t answer him.In the end, he co

Seeing that Justin had nothing more to say, Sean quickly lost interest in arguing. There was no fun in taunting someone who wouldn’t fight back.Under Justin’s watchful gaze, the two finished their lunch. Sean had no plans to linger, so he stood up to leave. Haley got up to walk him out. He had flown all the way from Merika State just to see her, so no matter what, it wouldn’t feel right not to see him off.Just as they reached the door, Justin, who had been silent all this time, suddenly blocked her path. “Stay in the room. I’ll walk him out.”“Justin, stop acting crazy,” Haley warned in a cold voice.Sean cut in before she could say more. “It’s fine, Haley. If he wants to walk me out, let him. I actually have a few things I’d like to say to him too.”Since it was Sean who spoke up, Haley relented. “Alright then, but be careful. If he tries anything, call me, and I’ll send someone down.”She still wasn’t at ease. The difference in their builds was obvious. Sean wasn’t weak,
