The report's title was "Franco Albert's third partner gave birth to a baby while his second partner cries of sadness outside!"Krista's breathing hitched with just one glance. When she scrolled further down, she saw photos of her, along with pictures of Marigold holding her child in the hospital bed. She wore a happy smile, forming a contrast with Krista's sorrow.Remembering Franco's phone call, Krista sneered, "So, he was questioning me about this. Hmph!"The comments section was filled with comments. Most of them were cursing Marigold while sympathizing with Krista. That was probably the primary cause of Franco's rage.In other words, Franco had never thought of announcing the child's existence at this point. After all, the child's existence wasn't a blessing for them.Chris had control over everything in the Albert family. Franco didn't have anything to give the child.Not only did everyone curse Marigold, but they also mocked the child. They wanted to see the Alberts make a
While Krista worried about the Winchesters, Benjamin was acting strange after returning to the Winchester residence.Something was clearly wrong with the atmosphere at the dining table.Benjamin had been talking to Arthur. At that time, Susan had spoken to them several times. Arthur gave her a brief response, but Benjamin never even replied.This made Harlet and Emma feel the change in his attitude toward Susan. However, Susan persisted.At the end of the meal, Emma called Benjamin over. "What's going on with you?""What do you mean by that?" Benjamin asked. He wasn't as friendly as the way he treated Arthur just now.Emma could clearly hear the absence of warmth in his tone. "Hang on, why are you talking to me like that, you brat?""How else do you want me to act?" Benjamin's tone became even colder. When he came back yesterday, he had been investigating who had tempered with the DNA test report.Undoubtedly, he'd found a clue. When he sent his sample that day, Ms. Lopez, who
Benjamin asked again, "Where the hell are you?""Island Bay!""I'm heading there right now.""Why on earth are you doing that?" Travis's tone became icier.Benjamin simply hung up the phone without giving a response.Meanwhile, Travis and Evelyn were eating together in Island Bay. The arrangement on the dining table was different from usual. There were white roses, which Evelyn liked.When Travis got the call, he held Evelyn's hand and was about to take out the ring. This call undoubtedly came at the wrong time. And now, Benjamin even wanted to come over.Evelyn noticed Travis' expression shifting and asked, "Is there trouble with Mr. Benjamin again?"In Evelyn's opinion, Benjamin had been causing trouble during this period, giving Travis a massive headache."Yeah! He's coming over!" Travis said. Then, he took out the ring box he had prepared and handed it to Evelyn.Evelyn looked at the red velvet box he handed her, somewhat confused. "Is this a gift?""Let's get married, E
Evelyn's breathing hitched at his words. She felt as if something had struck her heart. Looking at the man before her, she felt her heart had been set ablaze."If you say yes, we'll get our marriage certificate tomorrow. You can tell me what kind of wedding you'd like."Travis' tone was lighthearted. It was so soft that it lit a fire in Evelyn's heart. He usually seemed like a domineering man. However, at this moment, Evelyn felt respected."Have you really thought about this?" Evelyn asked, suppressing the emotion in her tone.Travis was the one who proposed, but at this moment, she had to make sure."I'm sorry. There's been a lot going on recently, so I didn't have the time to prepare a decent proposal ceremony," Travis explained.Truth be told, everyone around him was a mess during this period. Walter and Markus' situations gave him a warning.If they found the right woman, someone they were accustomed to or liked, they had to cherish and keep her by their side.In particula
Benjamin thought Travis was being unreasonable. He already called him before coming here, so why was he still upset?Evelyn threw herself into Travis' arms, not daring to peek her head.Travis patted her back comfortingly. "Wait for me back in the room, all right?" His tone held a hint of gentleness it never had held before.Evelyn nodded. She didn't even dare to look at Benjamin as she trotted back to the room. After she left, Travis glared at Benjamin. "This had better be important!"Benjamin's breath hitched. His mind was in such a mess that he briefly forgot why he came to see him. After thinking for a while, he finally remembered just as Travis was about to lose his patience."Travis, does the reason you haven't gone home these years have anything to do with Grandma?"Travis' expression became darker at the mention of Emma.Benjamin also remembered that Travis hadn't gone back to the Winchester residence during the holidays. He never returned at all, not even for Emma or
Arthur had arranged a marriage for Travis at an early age. Not long after his mother passed away, he decided to pair him with Angela Lockhart, one of the daughters of the Lockhart family.According to rumors, she was a powerful individual. Or rather, she had a powerful mother. Although her mother was Garrett Lockhart's second wife, she was in control of everything in the Lockhart family. Every month, she distributed money to the children of her husband's ex-wife. They even had to bow down to her whims. One could imagine how arrogant Angela had to be under the parentage of such an individual.It was said that she was studying abroad now, but in fact, her mother sent her abroad just for show. In this way, she could prepare to join the Winchesters through marriage.However, Benjamin remembered that Angela wouldn't return until a year later. Since she wasn't in the country, who was Travis marrying tomorrow?"I'll be marrying Evelyn. You've met her. Remember, she'll be your sister-in-
"I-It's because of our sister."Benjamin hurriedly recounted the entire situation to Arthur. He had been so anxious that he had forgotten that Arthur could not suffer from any shocks.Arthur was already quite infuriated as Travis wanted to marry Evelyn. His chest was heaving with anger as Benjamin mentioned the DNA specimens."The specimens were being tampered with?""Yes. I told Grandma and Susan about it when I came back. But Ms. Lopez, grandma's maid, followed me when I sent the specimens for the DNA test. She had even secretly met Susan's driver."Arthur remained silent."I suspect they were the ones who had tampered with the specimens," Benjamin hurriedly added. He was really going to lose it. He couldn't understand what was wrong with the family.This single incident had utterly shattered his perception of the family over the years.Arthur looked toward Benjamin. Everything had happened too suddenly. What Benjamin had told him was even more shocking to him than Travis' ma
Kathryn hadn't noticed Benjamin's presence at first.They were at the hospital, after all. It had always been normal for ambulances to pick up and drop off patients at the hospital. Nobody would've paid much attention to it.Yet, she was momentarily stunned when she saw Benjamin. "You …"Chris had noticed Benjamin's presence as well. He lowered his gaze and coldly stared at Benjamin's hand, which was holding Kathryn's wrist at the moment."Kathryn, you have to come with me now." Benjamin was anxious.Kathryn couldn't understand what Benjamin had just said. Was something wrong with his mind? There was nothing between them at all. What did he mean by asking her to follow him at this moment?Kathryn's gaze fell upon the stretcher, which was already being pushed into the hospital. She wondered if Benjamin was trying to calm down his family member who was seriously ill. It was extremely ridiculous. Had Benjamin been pestering her not only because of Susan but also for his own fami
