Chester observed Dennis, who was usually the epitome of gentleness and composure. He had now transformed with bulging veins on his forehead and eyes blazing with everlasting hatred. It struck Chester's heart like a sudden, piercing ache. What had Dennis gone through to become so unhinged? Chester felt his eyes stinging and his throat constricting. He found himself lacking the courage to acknowledge Dennis. After a prolonged silence, he uttered in a deep voice, "Although I have no idea what happened in the past, your suffering stems from my actions. I don't expect you to accept me as your father, but I wish to have a chance to mend the wounds, care for your mother, and help her recover her memories as soon as possible." Dennis locked gazes with him for an extended moment, then slowly released his grip, his eyes tinged with redness. "If this matter is clarified and you've indeed wronged my mother, I'll never forgive you." With that declaration, he turned and retreated into the
As they had gone a long time without being intimate, the instinctual reactions pulsing through their bodies were beyond their control. After a fleeting moment of closeness, Warren tenderly kissed Evelyn, his eyes still awash with a flood of emotions. "Mrs. Larkin, are you content?" Flushed with embarrassment, Evelyn shot him a fiery glare. "Warren, you shameless man! I begged you to stop. Why didn't you listen?" With a soft chuckle, Warren leaned in close to her ear. "Babe, your words weren't a plea; they were a temptation. I simply couldn't resist. And besides, weren't you just..." Before he could finish his sentence, Evelyn swiftly covered his mouth with her hand. "If you dare speak nonsense again, I won't spare you!" Warren smiled and kissed her hand affectionately. "Alright, I'll stop. From now on, I'll listen to you, darling. Is that okay?" "Shut up!" Evelyn pushed him away and straightened her clothes. Just as she got off the bed, there was a knock at the ward's doo
Upon hearing the name, Warren and Simon exchanged a knowing glance. Neither had anticipated that Johnny, driven by vengeance for Clara, would betray the Larkin family and disregard years of camaraderie to become a pawn for someone else. Warren and Evelyn were indeed a match. He had a reckless mother, and Evelyn had an equally thoughtless father. Warren's eyes darkened with resolve.The damage Iris had inflicted on him and Evelyn was beyond repair. He couldn't allow Johnny to become another obstacle in their relationship. Warren picked up his phone and called Chet. …A few days later, in the grand hall of an isolated villa, a man dressed in black was sitting in a wheelchair. His expression was one of contentment as he listened to his assistant's report. "Sir, the Larkin family has already lost over ten billion dollars. This blow has severely weakened the Larkin Corporation. Winnie is so desperate that she's even arguing with reporters. We're close to annihilating the Larkin f
The people bearing the insignia were faction leaders from various factions in the Dark Gusts Society. Therefore, the people who wanted to destroy the Larkins had to be from this society.The Dark Gusts Society was an underground secret society from Oreil. They were extremely powerful and controlled the economic pillars of several countries in Oreil.Rumor had it that their faction leaders were the heads of prominent families all over Oreil. These people joined forces to monopolize the entire Oreil industrial chain.As their country had progressed by leaps and bounds over the past few years, the Dark Gusts Society was already starting to reach for the local enterprises. Warren was added to this group by word of mouth with the promise that he would be given the Oreilian market.However, Warren didn't believe the Dark Gusts Society was the mastermind.Considering the society's influence, they wouldn't need to scheme for over two decades to take down a corporation.Thus, he was con
Warren was surprised when he heard that question. "Do you know the person in the photo?"Bonnie stared at the woman in the picture and said, "Her name is Elaine Jennings. She was your grandfather's childhood sweetheart, but because of the bad blood between their families, they didn't end up together. "However, I heard they had a child older than your father by a year. Could that be the little boy in this photo?"Those words interrupted Warren's train of thought."What happened to the woman afterward?""I heard that she and the boy were going to go abroad. However, on the way to the airport, they died in a car accident."Warren frowned at Bonnie. "Was my grandfather behind that?""Nonsense!" Bonnie glared at him. "Do you think your grandfather is that kind of man? It was your grandfather's brother. He intentionally wanted to stir up trouble so the Jennings would despise him. This is also why the Jennings still see the Larkin family as enemies until today."However, this woman a
After Evelyn showed Bonnie to the door, she bumped into Seth and his family.Albert's forehead was bandaged up. Evidently, he was injured.Evelyn immediately walked over and asked with concern, "Albert, why are you hurt? Is it painful?"When Albert saw Evelyn, the tears that he had held back while getting his injuries treated instantly overflowed. He reached out toward her and said sadly, "Aunt Evelyn, it hurts really badly. I want a hug."Just as Evelyn was about to hug him, Jennifer stopped him. "Aunt Evelyn has a baby in her tummy. Don't ask for hugs.""Then I want kisses," Albert said unhappily.Evelyn placed an arm around his neck and pecked his cheek. With an aching heart, she said, "You have to be careful not to get hurt in the future. If you do, you'll lose a lot of blood. It's not good for your condition, got it?"Albert nodded obediently. "I know. Once Mom gives birth to my baby brother, then I can get surgery."Evelyn looked up at Jennifer in surprise. "Jennifer, you
When Jennifer realized the car was about to hit them, she pushed Evelyn aside without any regard for herself.There was a loud thud as the car hit her, sending her flying a few feet. Finally, she crashed onto the ground.Her first response was to protect her child. Just as she hit the ground, she protected her belly with her arm.Her arm bore the most of the impact as a sharp pain traveled up.At that moment, she heard Seth calling her name in a panic, "Jennifer!"He rushed to her side to help her up. However, Jennifer gritted her teeth through the pain and said, "Albert is in the car. Save him."Seth looked up and happened to see the car driving toward the gate. He immediately got up and ran toward it without a second thought.He reached into the open window and grabbed the car's steering wheel with a death grip, engaging in a fierce grapple with the man in the mask.In order to shake him off, the man in the mask turned the steering wheel left and right, trying to throw him of
When Seth saw how Jennifer wasn't so much as even frowning, his throat tightened.In his mind, Jennifer was a privileged young woman who led a luxurious life. Back then, whenever she got a small cut on her finger, she would end up shedding tears.Now, despite her serious injuries, she was still so calm.He wondered just what she had gone through while taking care of Albert alone during the last three years.He stretched his arm out next to her mouth and said hoarsely, "If you can't stand the pain, you can bite my arm."Jennifer shook her head gently. "I'm fine. You don't need to worry."Despite saying that, when the doctor helped reset her bones, she still sweated buckets from the pain. Her teeth nearly shattered from how hard she was clenching her jaw, and she buried her fingers so deeply in Seth's arm that her nails pierced through his skin.Despite everything, she didn't even make a sound.As the doctor helped splint her arm, he couldn't stop praising her. "You're the strong
