Still unable to keep her composure, Cara spoke wildly."You guys wouldn't deal with the poor, nothing like me right?" Cara unsettlingly probed: "Don't make me do lewd things or harvest my organs."Cara begged her body on the defensive. She did not like to be caught and locked up, beaten, and not given anything to eat or drink. Cara has experienced that terrible scene, fortunately, thanks to her quickness and intelligence she escaped from the traffickers."No, it is not. Don't worry, we're not bad people." Look at Cara's anxious, frightening form. Alden's mother smiled reassuringly: "It's okay if you don't know about us. You can know it later, don't scare yourself, it will affect your health."His mother walked over to her and patted her back gently, helping Cara to regain her composure. She also glared at her husband, not acting scary anymore."Is that true?" Cara scrutinized, looking up timidly at the woman."That's the right girl. Don't worry, we won't harm you." Ethan's wife was st
Returning from the hospital, with deep thought, Alden decided that he couldn't hide from his parents what prompted his divorce from Emma and the reason for the accident. Gavin asks everyone to go to the book room of the mansion and let the staff rest, only the security staff will stay, but each person will be far away from that room.Ethan was the one most worried about this family meeting. He did not interfere in Alden's relationship with Emma. He felt guilty that his son couldn't have a good woman like he always wanted. He wants you to walk on your own two feet, so respect your decision. However, just getting married not long ago, Alden decided to divorce. That took him by surprise. Mrs. Agatha is the opposite of her husband, she is delighted to know how the accident happened, and the divorce is a blessing."Good, as you all know, as soon as I woke up in the hospital, I asked Gavin to help file for divorce." Alden spoke slowly when everyone was present and ready to listen: "I didn't
"Gavin, what do you think I should do?" Gavin was thinking when suddenly Alden asked a question. He wanted to listen to his brother's opinion. Someone you can trust."Rest, relax your mind. Don't remember the bad things, only the good things." Gavin smacked his lips and said, "That's all I can sincerely advise you. Besides, every decision is up to you, my stupid brother. No matter what choice you choose, I will always respect you. However, if you ask me if I should forgive Emma, the answer is no. And if you really mean it, I will stop at all costs. I don't want you to get hurt by this man. that cruel woman again. She absolutely doesn't deserve forgiveness."He continued to remain silent."Alden, listen to your heart but don't let things go wrong." Gavin has a reminder.The atmosphere seemed to be very gloomy, caused by Alden's sad mood. Therefore, Gavin wanted to change the topic of the conversation, to make it more fun."Keva came to the house for dinner today." Gavin said he was ver
Emma is currently in her old apartment, thinking of all sorts of ways to meet Alden. But even with all the theories, it was impossible to find a suitable and feasible way to meet him. Helen's villa is not easy for strangers to enter. But since then, when she went back and forth with Alden until she got married, she never had a chance to go there. The Alden family did not allow Emma to visit. Alden wanted to take her home, but his parents wouldn't allow it. If you make it tense, you will lose your peace of mind. At that time, she didn't care, thinking that just being able to command Alden was enough, his family didn't matter. Now she wished she could go back in time and do her best to be invited into Helen's mansion. If he could please those family members, he wouldn't have to suffer like this now. Regrettably, in life, no one is expected to do bad things, and bearing bitter consequences is obvious.Currently, Emma is having a headache, trying to figure out what Agatha has poisoned in h
Because it was clear that Alden did not look or respond to Emma's words. Devlin cleared his throat to start a conversation."As you all know, we are here to discuss the terms of the prenuptial agreement," Devlin mentioned the issue that he considered important and urgent."There is no question. All the terms have been fully and unambiguously disclosed and Miss Emma signed it of her own accord. While in good spirits, fully aware of the importance of events." Gavin replied frankly, immediately extinguishing the retort intention that Emma's lawyer made."My client believes she was deceived because she did not have the legal knowledge to understand the terms of the agreement." Devlin did not know anything about the truth of the matter, loudly protesting."The agreement was read in detail and fully explained by her ex-husband." Gavin emphasized: "It was she who nodded in agreement and then signed it.""You can't prove it," Devlin argued, expressing disbelief. The fact that Gavin is Alden's
Without seeing, Alden knew what Emma looked like now. Surely she wouldn't know where to hide her face. He could only bow his head in shame to himself as well as to Alden. Of course, if Emma knew what shame is, she would be ashamed of herself, wanting to disappear from the world. That was Alden's guess, but if she still accepted that she was noble, he would also give in, really giving up hope in Emma.And it was as expected of the three men present in the room. Emma's action is not surprising or impressive to the audience. On the contrary, it was an abomination that men had for her. As a woman, that shouldn't have happened or happened. Yet, Emma casually smeared rice husk ashes on the noble title of women. When the video ended, Emma immediately had a very expensive response, shouting loudly that she was unjust. Instead of showing remorse for the correct psychology of the character being cornered. Think about it, she has the guts to not look at the audience, does disrespect them deserve
"That, I think you won't believe it if you tell me." Emma chose her words to avoid inciting Gavin. She was concerned that he would attack her: "But I think that person is fully motivated to do so. That person really hates me, and wants to separate me from you."Before Emma's roundabout three kingdoms. Alden was impatient, asking her to get to the main issue so that he could handle it quickly and leave early. Freed from a space polluted by her."Speak quickly if you have something to say. Who is it?" Alden calmly asked, "Stop playing the front-and-back fence. Who do you think is capable of doing such a disgusting thing, tell me. I'll make that person suffer the worst outcome."Emma smiled triumphantly to herself when she was able to get Alden to listen to her. Looking at his impatient, relentless urge, she felt gloating when she imagined Gavin's doomsday had come. The taste of victory was so wonderful that she was a bit subjective. But then just in case, she had to probe first before s
Alden had just been led outside by Gavin for a while when Emma suddenly woke up, jumped up from the floor, and determined to give chase. She didn't want it to end like this. Such a tragic loss, who can accept it? She spent a lot of effort and brainpower to implement the devilish plan, but in the end, still failed, not willing. Therefore, we must try our best to hold on, even though we know that hope is nil. But who can predict the future, God will never cut anyone's way of life. Good people will meet good things later. The bad guy continues to wait for the crucial moment to receive retribution. Therefore, take advantage of the natural law of creation. Emma took the opportunity, instead of repenting, to atone, but continued to sin. It doesn't matter, the choice is up to each person. There are people who long for heaven and love the sweet, there are also people who hate the sweet, crave the bitter, and choose hell as the final destination of the journey. Kneeling is up to each person.E
At Alden's intense reaction, Gavin softened his tone and tried to calm him down:"Come on, Alden, calm down. You're overreacting. I'm just asking questions, I don't mean to offend you.""You’re making me angry," Alden snapped immediately."I’m sorry for that," Gavin apologized sincerely."I’m not just going to let you off the hook so easily," Alden pouted, deliberately making demands. "Unless you do something to make me feel better.""Don’t be so petty, Alden," Gavin chuckled but then turned serious. "But fine, I’ll agree to something—if it makes sense."Hearing this, Alden’s expression brightened a little. He eagerly made a suggestion:"If you can, then maybe you could—""Let’s put that aside for now," Gavin suddenly cut him off, leaving Alden feeling disappointed. "Right now, I need your help to clarify something."Alden furrowed his brow, clearly displeased at being interrupted. "What is it?""Did you intentionally leave Cara alone with Dante, or was it by accident?" Gavin asked sud
Alden had thought that no one would care or even notice his absence. Everyone was focused on Cara. So, when Gavin knocked on the door and suggested a quick chat, Alden was somewhat surprised."Alden, it’s me, Gavin. Can I come in?"Alden was about to refuse but quickly understood Gavin’s nature—once he wanted something, he would get it no matter what. Reluctantly, he agreed."Come in."As soon as he got permission, Gavin opened the door and stepped in.Alden didn’t even bother trying to guess why Gavin had come. To be honest, he didn’t care. Right now, everything seemed meaningless to Alden. He didn’t want to talk, nor did he want to do anything else—he just wanted to sink into the solitude of darkness and let the pain gnaw at his soul.“The room’s so dark. Why don’t you turn on the light?” Gavin asked.A rather unnecessary question. Alden frowned. Did Gavin forget that he was blind? Whether the light was on or not made no difference.“I prefer it this way,” Alden replied indifferently
"Alden!" Gavin snapped at his younger brother as soon as he heard him speak. "Don’t talk nonsense. Making baseless accusations without solid proof can have terrible consequences, do you understand?""I'm just saying what needs to be said," Alden shrugged indifferently. "How can we truly know what’s in someone’s heart? Not even the gods can see everything, let alone mortals. It's better to double-check, just to be sure. What's so wrong with that?"Although Gavin didn’t appreciate Alden’s insolent attitude, he couldn’t completely dismiss what his brother said. After all, Alden wasn’t entirely wrong. Everyone has their own perspective—sometimes flawed, but still worth acknowledging. Still, Gavin had no desire to argue with him right now. He turned to his parents.“Cara is probably still somewhere around here. We just need to go find her,” Gavin suggested. “I’m sure we’ll find her, so please don’t worry, Mom.”"That's right. We should split up and look for her," Anna agreed, and the other
At the same time, in the living room.Mrs. Agatha was enthusiastically chatting with her husband and eldest son about the Helen family's upcoming vacation. After some discussion, they agreed to travel to Paris. As she stepped into the luxurious mansion, she planned to find her youngest son and Cara to share the good news.Normally, around this hour, Cara would be in the kitchen chatting with the maids, but today the house felt strangely quiet."Anna," Mrs. Agatha called out to one of the maids. "Where are Alden and Cara?"Anna hesitated slightly, her expression somewhat tense. "Miss Cara... is in her room, ma’am. I think she’s asleep.""Think?" Mrs. Agatha raised an eyebrow, her voice laced with suspicion."I’ve gone to her room several times, but Cara hasn’t responded. The door is locked," Anna explained cautiously. "So I assumed she’s sleeping."Sleeping? At 3 p.m.? That was truly odd."And Alden?" Mrs. Agatha pressed on."He’s in his room as well."Mrs. Agatha frowned slightly. "Wha
As soon as they entered her room, Cara quickly dismissed Dante."Thanks, Dante. I’ll take my medicine and get some sleep.""I’ll help you.""That’s not necessary."But Dante ignored her words. He bent down, lifted her from the wheelchair, and gently laid her on the bed."The bed is too big, Cara," Dante remarked, his voice tinged with seduction as he sat down beside her."Yes, Mrs. Agatha thought it would be better for me," Cara replied calmly."You’re so beautiful, Cara. And you smell so good," Dante whispered, lowering his voice as he leaned closer."Dante, I really need to rest." Cara shifted away, her voice growing colder.But he didn’t care. Suddenly, he leaned in and kissed her.Cara panicked, trying to push him away, but he was taller and stronger. Helplessness surged inside her, making fear flare in her chest. His breath against her skin made her shudder. In a burst of panic, Cara kicked him hard.Caught off guard, Dante recoiled slightly. Then he chuckled, his eyes gleaming wi
"Did you know Emma used to be a stripper at a nightclub before she pretended to be a nurse just to get close to you?"Alden ignored Lyna at first, but her question immediately caught his attention."What the hell are you talking about?" Alden asked urgently, his voice tense. "How could that be true?""Judging by your reaction, it's clear you had no idea." Lyna smirked, her voice laced with sarcasm. "I have to admit, Emma is good at hiding things. She managed to fool even you – someone known for being suspicious and sharp. Or maybe… you’re just a fool?"Alden suddenly became agitated. He grabbed Lyna by the shoulders, his grip firm and accusatory. Though he couldn't see her, he grasped her with surprising precision."Speak. Is what you just said true?" Alden demanded, his tone cold and terrifying enough to make Lyna flinch for a moment."Talk!" he snapped impatiently when she hesitated."It’s true," Lyna finally admitted hesitantly, regaining her composure. "I met Emma back when she was
Dante didn’t seem to care at all about her clear attempt to avoid him. He tilted his head, a dangerous smile playing on his lips."You’re truly beautiful. I’ve never seen a girl as stunning as you."His voice dripped with flattery, the words so insincere that Cara could hardly suppress a bitter laugh. But she held herself back, maintaining a calm expression."Thank you for the compliment. But I think you're going a bit too far," she said, trying to keep her tone polite, while reaching for a piece of cake, pretending to focus on it to avoid his predatory gaze.But he wouldn’t let up."I’m speaking from the heart," Dante emphasized, his voice slightly insistent. He was trying to earn her trust, using any trick he could. If possible, he would probably swear an oath right now."Yes, I’m very flattered," Cara responded indifferently, making an effort to keep her distance.Dealing with Dante was exhausting. She silently wished for someone to show up and rescue her from this situation. Normal
"So, it turns out your mother brought her home," Lyna exclaimed, a bit surprised. Deep down, she hadn’t expected Alden to come up with such a clever response. By passing it off onto Mrs. Agatha, the issue was effectively resolved. No one would dare challenge or criticize the actions of the former judge."That's right. Thanks to the kindness of Madam, I have the privilege of staying here." Cara responded this time. She genuinely appreciated the Helen family."And how long will you stay here?" Lyna continued her probing. She wasn’t going to waste time fighting with Cara. Lyna knew Cara wasn’t the type for Alden, but life—who could predict what would happen? Over time, even a distant relationship could grow closer. Having Alden so close to Cara made Lyna uneasy. What starts as unfamiliar could turn familiar; what isn’t intimate might become so."Maybe until I recover," Cara answered briefly. In truth, she hadn’t thought that far ahead. For now, she was focused on the present, concentratin
Alden just wanted to rest, so he intended to return to his room. However, Dante and Lyna wouldn’t let him have peace. They insisted on pulling Alden into the living room to talk. The truth was, Dante didn’t care whether Alden stayed hidden in his room or not; his main goal was to see Cara. What he wanted most was some private time with her.But unlike Dante, Lyna was eager to see Alden again after a long time apart. She was in love with him, though her feelings had never been returned. When Alden married Emma, Lyna cursed that the marriage would fall apart quickly. And as she had hoped, Alden and Emma did get divorced. As soon as she heard the news, Lyna rushed back from abroad, hoping she could be by Alden’s side once more. Today, she came here with Dante, hoping to take advantage of this opportunity. Lyna believed that, in Alden’s moment of grief, she was the one who could soothe his heart.Now, in the living room, the atmosphere was heavy with silence. Alden, Dante, and Lyna all rem
