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

    Allergic to seafood? These words hit Evelyn like a bolt of lightning.Warren was also allergic to seafood. Why was Havyn like him? Was it just a coincidence?Evelyn couldn't help but look toward Warren, her eyes already brimming with tears. Her voice trembled a bit as she said, "I-I only gave him a little fish soup."Jennifer took a bottle of medicine from her bag and said, "He can't have any kind of seafood, not even fish soup. When I was breastfeeding, if I drank fish soup, he would have an allergic reaction to my milk."It's okay. Just take one of these pills, and you'll feel better in a little while."Jennifer was busy giving medicine to Havyn and didn't pay attention to what she was saying.However, Evelyn's face was becoming increasingly pale. Why did Havyn's allergy response match Warren's? Jennifer and Seth were not allergic to seafood, either.Evelyn couldn't help but blurt out, "Jennifer, neither you nor Seth has any allergies, so why is Havyn allergic to seafood?"Th

    Every word Linda spoke conveyed Warren's trust in her and disdain for Evelyn. She was suggesting that he didn't even want to come in person to visit Simon.Evelyn could tell what Linda was thinking. A faint, cold smile curved at the corner of her lips.She took out her phone from her bag, looked at Linda, and said, "Is that so? Then, I should personally call Mr. Larkin to thank him for remembering my father's kindness toward him."After she finished speaking, she started pretending to make a phone call.Linda immediately spoke up to stop her. "Mr. Larkin is very busy and currently in a meeting, so please do not disturb him.""Is it that he's busy, or is it that you don't want him to know you're visiting my father without his permission?"Linda realized that her thoughts were seen through by Evelyn, so she decided not to pretend anymore.A slight smirk appeared at the corner of her mouth. "Evelyn, back then, you took so much from Warren without regard for his well-being. Your hea

    Evelyn immediately took out a piece of tissue to help Simon wipe away his tears. She said softly, "Dad, I know you have a lot you want to say to Ms. Dawson, so please wake up soon. We're all waiting for you."Simon's eyelashes fluttered slightly, as if he was agreeing to the promise.After that, Erica took out silver needles from her bag and inserted them into the acupuncture points on Simon's head.…One hour later, the first acupuncture session was complete.Evelyn asked with some concern, "Ms. Dawson, how is my dad?"Erica was tidying up while speaking, "His condition is better than I expected. At this rate, he should be showing more obvious responses in about a week."Hearing these words, Evelyn looked at her excitedly. "Really? That's great! My dad has hope now!"Ms. Dawson, you've been running around all day. Let me take you to eat first, then you can rest at the hotel."Just as she finished speaking, Simon grabbed Erica's hand.Seeing this scene, Evelyn's eyes widened

    The room suddenly became so quiet that they could even hear each other's breathing.Tears welled up in Erica's eyes as she stared at Simon. She only went to his bedside, taking a few difficult steps, after several minutes.Erica gently placed her fingertips on Simon's wrist as tears fell onto his arm.Watched her unusual reaction, Evelyn finally remembered where she had seen Erica before.There was a picture of a women hidden in Simon's private photo album. If Evelyn wasn't mistaken, that woman is Erica.Simon had kept that photo all along, while Erica teared up upon seeing him. This kind of thing usually happened between couples.When Evelyn thought about it, she suddenly understood everything.Erica was someone Simon had been in love with many years ago. The unfortunate couple was separated initially because of Xena's scheme.Evelyn walked slowly to the bedside, patted Erica on the shoulder, and asked, "Do you know my dad, Dr. Dawson?"Erica wiped away her tears and sighed.

    Erica was dressed very plainly, but her delicate features still stood out. The red mole near the corner of her eye felt especially familiar to Evelyn.Her first thought was that she had definitely seen Erica somewhere before.She calmly approached with a smile and said, "Dr. Dawson, we're here to fetch you to treat my father."Erica greeted them with a smile. "Come inside and have some water first. I'll go pack up, and we can leave in a short while."They followed her and entered the courtyard once more.While packing her things, Erica asked, "So, which one of you is Sophie's friend?"William, who had always been carefree and uninhibited, immediately stood up and respectfully said to Erica, "It's me. I met her in Zyldrica."Erica looked him up and down, her eyes revealing a hint of delight. "You seem very handsome and look spirited, young man."William's smile was somewhat stiff. It was the first time someone had ever complimented him, and he didn't know how to react.When fac

    Evelyn stepped forward and said, "But Warren and the others have been doing everything they can to find you and get you out."Alfred shook his head. "If I leave, that bastard will know that you all have discovered his secret. All your subsequent plans will fail."I'm staying here since he won't do anything to me anyway. I still have something I haven't given him yet. How else do you think I've lived until now?"You all should leave quickly. Just pretend nothing happened. My granddaughter and I will handle that jerk ourselves.""Mr. Miller Senior—"Evelyn wanted to say something else, but Nathan, who was behind her, grabbed her abruptly.He furrowed his brow and looked at Alfred. "Evelyn, Mr. Miller Senior is right. If he leaves, Warren's plan will be ruined. Don't worry, I'll assign someone to keep an eye on this place and make sure nothing will happen to him."Evelyn was eager to save Alfred so that Warren could launch a full-scale attack on Russell. Only then could they reunit

    Elma shook her head in disbelief. "That's impossible. You're talking nonsense. My dad was killed by Chester long ago. The person who killed him is not Sir."Evelyn gave a calm smile. "He says he's protecting you, but in reality, he has always treated you as a pawn to control Iris. Otherwise, your mother wouldn't risk her life so willingly for him."I could never understand why Iris would obey someone so willingly. But then I met you, and everything became clear to me."Have you never wondered why your mother looks so much like Mrs. Larkin? That person definitely won't tell you that they are twin sisters."You're also the one keeping an eye on this old man's biological daughter. That person has known about this secret for a long time but has kept it from Iris to fully control her."Whether it's your father, Ronald, or your mother, Iris, their tragic lives were all caused by that 'Sir' you mentioned. Do you want to follow in their footsteps?"Hearing these words, Elma glared at Eve

    The gears lunged toward them, like a giant shark with its jaws wide open.Just then, Nathan suddenly held Evelyn in his arms. In a low and hoarse voice filled with suppressed emotion, he called out softly, "Evie."His grip around her was tight. It felt as if he wanted to fuse Evelyn into himself. At the same time, he pressed a button that was a disgusting shade of yellow with his other hand.Everyone was wide-eyed with fear, staring intently at the turning gears.If the wrong button was pressed, not only would the gears not stop, but other traps in this room might be activated. They were in double jeopardy, and there was no escape for them.At that critical moment, the rumbling sound of the gears gradually diminished until it faded away entirely. The gears stopped just short of three feet away from them.Evelyn looked up at Nathan, her eyes wide with shock, and her voice trembling. "Nathan, we're saved."Nathan smiled and gently brushed her hair. "I told you, I won't let anythin

    The elderly man was none other than Warren's grandfather, Alfred. But wasn't Alfred being held in Milania by Russell? Moreover, he had been poisoned and was supposed to be unconscious.Yet, the elderly man before them was sitting at a table, leisurely playing a game of chess.Evelyn didn't have time to think much. She pressed the switch next to her, opened the door, and rushed in.Just as they went in, the glass door automatically closed behind them, and the entire room started to slowly descend—right into where the gears were turning.Evelyn looked at Nathan with some panic. "I think we've been tricked."Nathan looked at a control panel in the room and said, "Don't worry. This is the control console. As long as we find the button to stop the gears from turning, we'll be fine."After speaking, he carefully examined the central control panel.At that moment, Elma's laughter echoed again in the room. "Evelyn, this control panel has 81 buttons, and each one will trigger a different

    Elma's eyes seemed so familiar to Evelyn that they left a deep impression in her mind.When Evelyn was deep in thought, she suddenly opened her eyes wide as a name popped into her mind—Iris Lindt.Elma's eyes and nose looked a lot like Iris'. Could it be that they were related?Evelyn tried to stand up and look for William and Nathan, but her hands and feet were tied, making moving impossible.She softly called out, "William? Mr. Holland?"There was no response, so she tried calling out again. This time, a deep, hoarse voice rang out close by. "Evelyn, I'm over here."Nathan's voice was urgent and full of concern. In the darkness, Evelyn almost mistook it again for Warren's voice.She responded, "Mr. Holland, where is William?"Nathan kicked William beside him and said, "He's next to me. The drug seems to be affecting him more. Don't be afraid, I'll be over there right away."After speaking, Nathan crawled toward Evelyn. Seeing her pale face, he felt a bit concerned and asked,
