"Rose, whether Aurora keeps her baby or not, she'll pay for her crimes. I will never let her go! I was too foolish to trust her before. I'm truly sorry for not believing you. Can you forgive me?"Rosalie closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "I was furious about it before, but now it's all over. Everyone can be blinded at some point. As long as you see her true colors now, that's enough. There's no need to say more. It's late—go home."Theodore glanced behind Rosalie. "Justin isn't here?""He's already left.""What?" For Theodore, this was good news. "Where did he go? He hasn't come back?""That's none of your business. Theo, I brought evidence to your wedding today to stop your marriage with Aurora not because I think there's still a chance between us, but because she killed Grandma and tried to harm my child. I want her to pay.""Rose, are you saying that even if Aurora ends up in prison and Justin has already left, there's still no possibility for us?""Theo. I've said this many t
Steve waved his hands, giggling."Daddy." With a soft thud, he threw himself into Theodore's arms, laughing with pure delight.Theodore was deeply moved. He raised his hand and gently patted Steve's back. "Steve, I told you before. I'm Uncle Theodore. Call me Uncle.""Daddy. Daddy."Theodore felt a pang in his heart, and tears began to stream down his face uncontrollably."Why don't you listen? I…"He wanted to say he wasn't his father, but hearing Steve call him "Daddy" stirred a selfish longing within him to play that role, even if just for a moment."Steve." Rosalie walked over, holding medicine and water. "Why are you lying on top of him?"Theodore immediately closed his eyes upon hearing her voice, pretending to still be unconscious.Rosalie picked Steve up from Theodore's chest and placed him to the side. "Don't lie on him. He's sick."Rosalie helped Theodore sit up and placed a pill in his mouth. Then, she fed him some water, ensuring he swallowed the fever medicine.She folded
Rosalie placed the clothes on the bed. Theodore glanced at Justin's clothing, fell silent for a moment, and then nodded. "Okay. Thank you."Although the thought of wearing Justin's clothes made him feel uncomfortable, he was grateful for Rosalie's care."I'll go prepare breakfast. By the way, when you shower later, you can give Steve a bath if you want. This little guy hasn't bathed in days, and he always cries whenever I try. See if you can get him cleaned up."Theodore was surprised. "Sure. I'll make sure to give him a good bath."Rosalie nodded. "There's a baby bathtub in the bathroom."With that, Rosalie left the room.Steve gulped down half a bottle of formula, then let out a burp."Finished?" Theodore patted his little head. "Daddy will take you for a bath."Suddenly, the door swung open, and Rosalie hurried in, holding two eggs in her hands. "Wait a moment.""What's wrong?" Theodore noticed Rosalie's anxious expression."I just remembered that babies shouldn't bathe right after
Theodore suddenly suggested, "Rose, move in with me. I'll arrange for someone to protect you 24/7."Rosalie was taken aback. After regaining her composure, she immediately shook her head. "There's no need. I can take care of myself. You don't have to worry.""Rose," Theodore said with urgency, "you're right. With everything that's been happening, it's likely we've been under surveillance for a while. I think you need protection. Please, move in with me.""You're just looking for an excuse to get me to live with you. I won't move in with you, so don't bring it up again. I have to go now. You'd better get a check-up."With that, Rosalie took Steve back from Theodore's arms. Seeing how resolute she was, Theodore realized that saying more would be futile."I'm sorry for being impulsive earlier. At the very least, let me take you home. Please, I won't feel at ease unless I escort you back."Rosalie nodded. "Alright."-The driver dropped Wesley off at his residence. Exhausted, Wesley collap
"Then you should remember the last incident. I went to great lengths to resolve it for you. If this time Sydney being shot is your doing, I won't protect you again. I'll make sure you pay the price!"Smack!Chandra slapped Christopher across the face."Christopher, do you realize I'm your mother?"Christopher gritted his teeth. "It's because you're my mother that I protected you last time. But this time…""This time? You're always talking about 'ifs!'" Chandra sneered coldly. "If I'm not the one responsible, will you kneel and apologize to me?""Mom, was this your doing or not?" Christopher clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles cracked. "Tell me the truth!""I don't have time to do such things. Believe it or not."Chandra glared at him coldly and said, "You've really disappointed me. Without any evidence, you come here accusing your own mother. Is this the kind of person you think I am? For an outsider, you'd doubt me like this. It breaks my heart!"Christopher's clenched fis
Rosalie poured a glass of warm water for Chandra and placed it on the table before sitting down nearby. "Well, what did you want to tell me?"Chandra glanced around the room. "Where's the child?""He's in the room. What exactly do you want?"Chandra remained silent for a long time. Suddenly, she grabbed Rosalie's hand.Startled, Rosalie immediately pulled her hand back. "What are you doing?""That bracelet was custom-made for you."Rosalie froze for a moment before quickly regaining her composure. For a brief second, she didn't know what to say.Chandra's simple statement carried far more weight than expected.Rosalie abruptly stood up, walked into the room, and returned a moment later with a bracelet in her hand. She placed it on the table. "Is this the one you're talking about?"Chandra picked up the bracelet and examined it carefully. "Yes, this is it. I saw it at the restaurant last time. I wanted to ask you about it then, but the situation didn't allow it. That's why I came to fin
Chandra let out a small sigh of relief."Rose, no matter whose child he is, that child is still a member of our family.""Steve is not part of your family," Rosalie replied. "He is my child. He's neither a Jackson nor a Fisher.""I know this is difficult for you to accept. I won't force you to acknowledge your roots immediately. I'll give you time to think it over. But you are, after all, my granddaughter. No matter what, I think we should stay in contact.""I don't think that's necessary," Rosalie said coldly. "Although I now know who my parents are, this knowledge doesn't change anything for me. My child and I will live our lives well without you. Since I'm an illegitimate child—an embarrassment—let's keep this secret buried forever. Don't let anyone know. Miss Fisher, you should leave now."Hearing Rosalie's firm dismissal, Chandra seemed a little flustered. "Rose…""Don't call me that." Rosalie stared at her, struggling to contain her emotions. "We're not that close. Don't forget,
Rosalie broke the silence. "Sebastian, I was just as shocked to find out. The fact that we are cousins is hard to believe. But since our previous marriage wasn't real, I hope we can both move on without any burdens."Rosalie was still struggling to process the revelation that Sebastian was her cousin. It was hard to imagine how their relationship had shifted—from friends, to husband and wife, to ex-spouses, and now to cousins. The absurdity of it all left her at a loss for words.She didn't know what emotions were appropriate anymore, but she knew she couldn't let herself get too worked up. No matter how she reacted, it wouldn't change anything. In the end, she could only face reality with acceptance.The only consolation was that she and Sebastian were already divorced, and their feelings for each other hadn't been deeply entangled. Otherwise, things would have been even worse.Sebastian's hand holding the bouquet fell to his side, and petals began to scatter to the ground like fadin
Hearing Aurora's shameless words, Theodore was so angry that he almost laughed. "Do you think I'm a judge? You killed someone, and now you want me to reduce your sentence? Don't be ridiculous.""Theo, I know you have money and power. If you help me and hire the best lawyer, I'll appeal!""You're truly shameless. I can see you're just making excuses. Where is this so-called mastermind? Everything was your plan. I don't want to see you anymore! You disgust me!" Theodore turned to leave.Aurora immediately said, "Me saving you was arranged. I received an email telling me to go there to take pictures, that's why I went and found you. The person who sent me that email, I met him later. He's the mastermind."He knows everything about you and Rosalie. He's been planning and arranging everything, making me destroy your relationship with her, and pushing me to fight for a position by your side. He's the one who found the heart for me, and it was also him who arranged for me to get pregnant wit
Aurora was sent to the hospital, but unfortunately, she lost the baby.When she woke up, she received the devastating news.For her, this was a fatal blow. The child she was carrying had been an extremely important bargaining chip for her, and now, it was gone.Now that Aurora had miscarried and was in a weak state, she wasn't fit to stay in prison and had to remain in the hospital, guarded by the police 24/7. Her hands were handcuffed to the hospital bed to prevent her from escaping.Days passed, and Aurora resembled a withered flower.Later, she seemed to go mad, insisting on seeing Theodore, but no one paid attention to her. She kept making a ruckus and even told the police that someone was supporting her from behind—that there was a mastermind.However, she only agreed to reveal this information if she saw Theodore.Finally, the police contacted Theodore.At first, Theodore resisted when he heard that Aurora wanted to see him. He refused to meet her under any circumstances until th
"Okay! I'll pick them up right away."Angie was a coward who feared the strong and bullied the weak. She was arrogant online, engaging in cyberbullying with no hesitation. However, when it came to real-life confrontations with someone stronger, she was terrified and dared not resist."Did I tell you to pick it up with your hands? Get down on the floor and use your mouth to pick it up!" Maeve glared at her with a menacing look.The other female inmates stepped forward and gave Angie warning glares."Did you hear what Maeve said?"Angie was trembling with fear. She got down on the floor, opened her mouth, and began to pick up the nuts.At that moment, a guard passed by and knocked on the iron door of the cell with a baton. "What are you doing?"The door of the cell was opened, and the guard saw the nuts on the ground. "Where did these nuts come from? You're living so comfortably, huh? Did you smuggle them in?"The inmates often engaged in smuggling, usually bringing in snacks, cigarettes
The woman kicked Aurora's leg harshly. "Get over there and clean the toilet, or you'll regret it!"Both Angie and Aurora had been deliberately placed in this cell, which was filled with troublemakers. They weren't easy to deal with and would bully the new inmates.Aurora swallowed nervously and slowly got up from the ground. "What…what should I do?"She couldn't fight against them; for now, she had to submit. She had to find a way to escape. The child in her belly was her lifeline, and there was also the mastermind, whom she had yet to reveal. The child and the mysterious man were her bargaining chips.Angie laughed proudly. "Go clean the toilet, cousin. After all, you're no longer Mrs. Spencer."Suddenly, Maeve grabbed Angie's hair and slammed her to the ground. "What are you standing there for? Don't you know you're supposed to teach her? Do I need to show you how it's done? Useless piece of trash!"Maeve spat in Angie's face.Angie didn't dare wipe it off. Instead, she knelt on the
Time passed quickly.In the blink of an eye, Aurora was convicted of multiple crimes, including murder, incitement, and kidnapping, and was sentenced to death. However, because she was pregnant, the execution would be postponed until after she gave birth.Aurora was sent to a women's prison, which housed only those convicted of serious crimes.After the guards escorted her into the prison, Aurora saw a familiar woman sitting on one of the bunks. Her eyes widened in terror, and she immediately turned to flee."Don't put me in here! I want to switch cells!""Do you think this is a hotel where you can just change rooms at will? Get in there and behave!" The guard showed no mercy. He shoved Aurora into the cell and slammed the iron door shut with a loud bang."No! You can't do this!" Aurora screamed, pounding on the door with both hands. "I want a different cell! I can't stay here! I'm pregnant, and I have special privileges! I'm carrying Theodore's child! Do you know who Theodore is? He's
After Rosalie pushed them out, she slammed the door shut with a loud bang. Her body gave out, and she collapsed to the floor, closing her eyes in anguish."Rose!" Sebastian called as he knocked on the door. "I'm sorry.""Stop talking! Just leave! Please, just go. I don't want to see either of you right now. I need some space."Chandra sighed helplessly. "We should go."Sebastian knew there was no point in staying and causing more conflict. The two of them left together.Inside the elevator, Chandra said coldly, "Sebastian, don't think I don't know why you didn't tell her earlier. Are you still harboring feelings for her?""Grandma, Rose and I are both adults. Whatever happens between us is none of your business anymore.""She's my granddaughter, and you're my grandson. Do you think I wouldn't care about this?"Sebastian turned to glare at her with icy eyes. "Grandma, Rose and I were once married. If we had consummated our marriage, what would you do about it? Besides, are you planning
