As she paddled across the hallway, a strong fire could be seen burning in her eyes, causing her face to contort into a grimace. Her lovely red hair, which had formerly been arranged into a gorgeous bun with jewelry, was tangled and disheveled behind her as she matched the veil that was dangling at the tip with barely a pin. She wasn't the naive woman from a few hours earlier; as she moved through different rooms, her eyes glinted dangerously. Her fairy stories were destroyed, and all of her hopes were crushed, about love was all reduced to shattered fragments. She ceased to be innocent and naive at that point.

After growing weary of staring at him, the girl turned to her drink, but then an idea dawned on her. It was impossible to measure the extent of her pain from what her fiancé had done to her. When she remembered, She downed more than two glasses of vodka and grimaced at the sight of her sister in bed with her fiancé.

    Oh my, what a wayward son I have, tsk tsk tsk," James muttered, purposefully upsetting Arnold. Arnold said, "Get to the point, dad. I don't have time for your blabbing." He detested it when people, especially his father, acted theatrically around him. "All right, then, this elderly grandmother will explain her caller's reason. I would like to notify you that your cousin, together with his wife and child, has returned to the nation, and you are falling behind in your desire to have an heir.

Why would you do that to me? Why?" Alice screamed as her gaze roamed around the room, "Perhaps are you out of sperms, is that why you are forcing this on me?"

He clutched Alice against him, ready for the inevitable shower of bullets that would rip through their bodies and end their lives. But the onslaught never arrived. Bewildered, Arnold opened his eyes to see the mercenary firing line swaying in bewilderment. Their raised weapons' barrels were aimed skyward, sending columns of smoke harmlessly into the night air. Alice awoke in his arms, her eyes wide with the same bewildered apprehension as they gradually untangled themselves from their protective hold. The remaining henchmen in the courtyard were in chaos, their attitudes ranging from combat-ready to completely disoriented. A low, rumbling cadence of rotor blades reached Arnold's ears, quickly increasing in loudness. A big black helicopter banked over the estate, its running lights strobing crimson against the clouds of bitter smoke that remained in t

Tubes emerged from his body, carrying vital fluids and medications. Alice kept a single watch at his bedside, her eyes swollen from sleepless nights and a constant stream of tears. "You have to wake up," she said softly, grasping his limp hand. "The kids need you. "I need you." As if responding, Arnold's fingers trembled almost slightly on her hand. Alice's head jolted up, and new tears welled up as she examined his face, looking for any additional indications of consciousness. Arnold's eyelids flickered open gradually and painfully.

    Risky Confrontation:The information I had gathered against Damian and Lily felt like a lead weight in my hands as I walked into the heart of their operations—a generic office building that served as the facade for their massive criminal empire. My instincts told me to turn back and wait for the authorities to handle this sensitive case. But a deeper, more basic drive pulled me forward: a burning desire to look into the eyes of the monsters who had attempted to destroy my family and demand answers. My stomach churned with a horrible sense of anticipation as I walked through the magnificent lobby, my heels tapping on the polished marble with each determined stride.

Financial data, once a jumble of numbers and figures, began to take on frightening new significance as patterns formed, portraying a picture of systemic fraud and embezzlement on a scale I couldn't fathom. Damian's deceit appeared limitless. He'd spent years painstakingly siphoning money from the Hawthorne empire, using a large network of shell businesses and offshore accounts to hide his activities. And Lily, that nasty snake, had been his willing accomplice, her beauty and guile providing the ideal distraction as Damian worked diligently to undermine Arnold's authority from within. As the scheme unfolded before me, layer by layer, I felt a surge of righteous rage rise in my chest. How could these horrible, soulless animals attempt to destroy what Arnold and I had built?
