After Skyler returned to Milania, she moved into a secluded mansion to care for her father. Russell was responsible for delivering her food and other essentials.At first, Skyler didn't think much of it. However, she later realized that something was wrong.Guards were stationed everywhere, and she was not allowed to go anywhere without a guard's company.Worse still, her phone was limited to browsing news inside Milania. She had no way of learning what was happening elsewhere. She couldn't contact anyone outside, either.Even Dennis seemed to be calling her less frequently.Skyler finally understood what was going on then. She thought that Chester was right to be suspicious. There truly was something off with her brother, Russell.Skyler couldn't learn what was going on outside Milania, but she truly wanted to know how things were going with Warren's company.She also wanted to know if Evelyn had given birth or why she hadn't been in contact.That afternoon, Skyler secretly
Skyler's mental state had regressed to the way it was over 20 years ago.Russell looked at her and then pulled her off the ground.His tone was extremely calming when he said, "Skyler, don't be scared. It's me, Russell. I've come to rescue you."Skyler stared at him with tears all over her face. Her beautiful face seemed tainted with hatred all of a sudden.She parted her lips and bit Russell's shoulders without any warning.She practically used every bit of her energy in that bite.It hurt Russell so much that he hissed.The bodyguards were going to pull her away when Russell stopped them. He wanted to see if the fire had helped Skyler regain her memory or if it had turned her insane once more.Skyler almost bit a piece of flesh off of Russell's shoulders.It wasn't until she was utterly exhausted did she finally let go.She passed out in Russell's arms after that.A complex glow revealed itself in Russell's gaze when he stared at Skyler's dirty face.In a deep voice, he a
At that moment, Dennis had guessed what his mother had been doing.Skyler pretended to be mentally unstable so that she'd be assigned to live with Dennis.Dennis gently caressed his mother's head and asked, "Mom, did you recover your memories?"Skyler was crying so much that she could barely speak. She did her best to suppress her emotions.After that, she said, "Warren and Winnie are my children, Dennis. They are your brother and sister."Hearing those words, Dennis' eyes became watery with tears.It confirmed that Evelyn's guess was correct. Skyler was the real Iris.As Dennis helped Skyler wipe her tears away, he said, "Mom, things are dire right now. The nanny might wake up at any moment, so we have to keep things short. What happened all those years ago?"Skyler sniffled.After that, she said, "Your father, Chester, and Russell were both my colleagues at the university. Russell fell for me when we were in school, but I had already started dating your father. I turned Russ
Upon hearing this, tears ran down Skyler's cheeks once again."Evie must be in so much pain. She tried so hard to protect that child, only to be told it didn't survive. She must be devastated.""She's doing well now and has already come out. She's stronger than we thought."Dennis glanced at the doorway and continued to ask, "How is Grandpa? What's going on with him?"Skyler's eyes were filled with increased hatred. "On the surface, it looks like it was a dog bite, but that dog had a virus."I suspect this is most likely a plot by Russell. He wants to seize this chance to control the Miller family. I will make him pay for this.""Mom, you need to keep pretending to act crazy and clueless. Only then will Russell not suspect you. Leave the rest to my brother and me. We will rescue Grandpa."The two discussed the current situation for a while before Dennis quietly returned to the bedroom.Once inside, he used a discreet method to pass the message to Warren.Warren, who was far aw
Upon hearing these words, Jennifer felt a pang of sorrow in her heart.It had been two years, yet Evelyn still could not reunite with her child. Havyn was very attached to her and often sat at home, waiting for her to come over.Jennifer crouched down, gently touched Havyn's soft cheek, and suggested with a smile, "How about I wait with you?"Havyn obediently nodded.Soon, when he saw Evelyn's car driving in, his bright black eyes widened. Then, he said with a smile on his small lips, "Mom, Aunt Evelyn is here. I'm going to see her."Jennifer patted his head. "Don't run too fast."As soon as Evelyn got out of the car, she saw Havyn running toward her. As he ran, he shouted, "Aunt Evelyn, why did it take you so long to get here? I missed you so much!"Evelyn quickly bent down, scooped him up into her arms, and planted a kiss on his chubby cheek. Smiling, she said, "Sorry for the wait, sweetheart. There was a bit of traffic on the way."Upon hearing this term of endearment, Havyn
But the psychological trauma Evelyn caused had always made Jennifer fearful of this marriage.Evelyn gave a slight smile and said, "Jennifer, you and Seth have three kids now. His career is stable, and he has a simple family background."You don't need to overthink it. We've all seen how well he has treated you and the kids these past two years. The grandparents also hope that you two can get married soon."Hearing her words, Havyn tilted her head and looked at Evelyn. "Aunt Evelyn, when are you getting married? I can be your flower boy."This single sentence made Evelyn's heart ache.She smiled and touched foreheads with Havyn. "Sweetheart, I don't have a boyfriend yet, so me getting married is still a long way off.""Mom said that many people are pursuing you. Couldn't you just pick a good-looking one who treats you well to be your husband?"Several people heard this and burst into laughter. However, everyone felt a sense of bitterness in their hearts. How could they not know
The two of them locked eyes. Time seemed to stand still at that moment.Warren clenched his fists tightly and walked toward Evelyn with long strides. He forced himself to suppress the longing in his heart and hid all the emotions in his eyes.He said in a calm and steady voice, "Evie, are you okay?"Hearing that voice calling her name once more, it would be impossible for Evelyn not to be affected.After two years of hard work and challenges, she was no longer the same Evelyn she was two years ago. She always hid her inner bitterness very well.Evelyn gave a slight smile and said in her usual tone, "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Larkin. I'm fine."Warren felt a deep pain in his chest as he saw how distant she was.But wasn't this exactly the result he wanted? He hoped Evelyn would keep her distance from him, that she could move on from her past relationship and start anew.He looked over at Seth and Jennifer. "Have you two still not gotten married? What are you waiting for?"
Warren watched Evelyn's slender figure. Only he understood the bitterness in his heart.Of course, he knew exactly how high Evelyn's status and position were now.He paid attention to every one of her legal cases and all of her trips. He even personally sat in the audience during several of Milania's court cases.He saw Evelyn's confidence and radiance. That was a radiance that was absent when being with him. It was he who had concealed her brilliant life for four years.Warren clenched his fist slowly in his pocket, while a dismissive smile played at the corners of his lips."Stop nagging me. Didn't you say you wanted a second child? Why haven't you had one yet? Is it because your health makes it impossible?"Ezra glared at him. "How can you say that? I'm as strong as an ox. Having two kids in a year wouldn't be a problem."It's Tammy who doesn't want it. She's now Evelyn's secretary, and both of them are so busy with their careers that she doesn't have time for me at all."Le
