Time seemed to cease. Janice's and Olivia's beauty was too surreal to be true.

One of them was like a flower blooming in spring while the other was like the moon in fall.

Kenneth's fingers tightened around his wine glass. It felt like a dream to him. He began doubting if that was the Janice he knew.

Countless images of Janice smashing items and her anguish screams played in his mind. His memories of her had always been of her begging him not to go or her scolding and humiliating Jessica.

Now, her cold gaze swept across the crowd like that of a superior woman. It didn't stay on him for a second.

It was so unfamiliar that it seemed like they were strangers.

On the other hand, Darrell was staring at Olivia in a daze. He was aware of how pretty she was, but he didn't expect her to turn into a belle in that minimalistic dress.

As she looked at everyone with an indifferent gaze, she ignited his sense of competitiveness for some reason.

The three's appearance drew everyone's attention.

    It was Darrell again. Olivia lifted her head and shot him a cold gaze. "Is anything the matter?"He was wearing a white suit. In addition to his good looks, others perceived him as a gentleman. She was the only person who knew how evil his intentions were beneath that facade."Why are you giving me the cold shoulder? I'm just worried about you.""Didn't I tell you that I'll dislocate your jaw if you aren't careful with your words?"He touched his wrist instinctively. "You look cold, but you have quite a temper. It makes me curious about something—does your character change this much in bed as well?"As soon as he finished, Olivia splashed the glass of warm water in her hand onto Darrell's face.Despite her small action, everyone turned to them within a fleeting second. The two were involved in the gossip, so people's eyes were always on them.Jessica, whose expression had changed, hurried over to them."Liv, what's going on here? Did my son do anything to you? You're humiliating him

    It hurt so much that Olivia couldn't speak. Janice wanted to take a seat to enjoy the show, but to her surprise, Jessica and Darrell were on it again. It seemed like they were seizing this chance to make up an excuse for Harold to drive Olivia and the others out."Kenneth Miller, if you like that word so much, why don't you carve it on your gravestone in the future?" Janice said.Displeased, Kenneth looked at her and said, "Zip it. This is none of your business."Janice then stood in front of Olivia and barked fiercely at him, "You shut the fuck up!"Kenneth was stunned, and so was Jessica. The spectators were equally dumbfounded too.Harold was the only person feeling awkward as he coughed lightly, "Watch your words, Janice. Your mother-in-law is the most feisty person. She might call you up tonight."In the past, even when Janice was angry, she never scolded Jessica with bad words before. Janice was raised with a good upbringing in a rich family after all.However, she had become fe

    Jessica was crying so much that she could barely catch her breath. "Kenneth, I thought that Grandpa would finally feel our sincerity as long as I raised Darrell and managed the household well. Not to mention, you and Janice had already divorced. Still, he's taking us as strangers after all these years. "I think we should leave. There's no place for us here."Although Janice hadn't said anything, Kenneth got mad from Jessica's provocation and helped Darrell up, blurting, "Who's leaving? They're the ones who should leave!"However, Kenneth regretted his words as soon as he finished speaking. Knowing what kind of horrible life Janice had lived in the past, he had no intention of driving her out. He would even agree to her request if she wished to spend the rest of her life in the Miller residence.Yet, he hadn't realized what he was saying in the heat of the moment.Throwing out hurtful words was like plunging a knife into someone's heart. And even if the wound turned into a scar, it wo

    The way Darrell said that Ethan was no longer around prompted Kenneth to look at him sideways. "What did you say?""Ethan was involved in an explosion, Dad. He's been missing till this day. He may have already passed away," Darrell said the most hurtful words with the gentlest tone.It left everyone dumbstruck. Even though Ethan spent many years building up his career in Allandia, no one could doubt his identity and capability.If Ethan was dead, Darrell would be the heir of the family!It was no wonder Harold was willing to let Darrell and Jessica return. That was the exact reason!Kenneth had heard of the rumors, but he simply deemed them as nonsensical stories made up by someone up to no good. He wouldn't believe that Ethan would pass away all of a sudden.Kenneth felt uneasy after hearing what Darrell said. "There's no irrefutable evidence for that. Why would you say that?""Dad, you've heard of the news of the exploded abandoned factory a few days ago. Do you think he cou

    "Dad, there're a lot of people watching. Don't cause trouble, you'll be a laughing stock," Darrell said, trying to stop Harold too. "Grandpa, since you dislike me this much, Mom and I might as well leave. Hope you won't regret this. Let's go, Mom."It was clearly a threat.Kenneth grabbed Darrell and Jessica's hands. "As long as I'm here, I won't let you leave. Dad, Olivia's the cause of this matter. Is it that difficult to demand an apology from her?""I think the person who should apologize isn't her, but your son." A gentle voice resounded from the crowd.Olivia turned in the direction of the familiar voice. It was the person she met once in the airport—Keith!The girl standing next to him was tugging his hand, seemingly disliking the idea of him getting involved in the Millers' family matter.However, Keith didn't yield to power and approached them confidently. As a doctor, he first asked Olivia, "Are you alright?"It had been two years since they last met after separating

    Never in Darrell's dreams had he imagined someone would've recorded that scene, let alone reveal it by disregarding the Millers' reputation. Keith had literally torn down Darrell's facade. The ladies around woke up from their dream, not expecting such a gentleman to be a pervert.Janice couldn't rein her anger in. Infuriated, she smashed a champagne bottle onto Darrell's head.Darrell and Jessica had been doing everything in their power to anger Janice, but it had been in vain. However, that remark of Darrell alone made Janice lose it."I'm gonna send you to hell, you bastard!" she cried.Darrell's head began bleeding along his forehead.Jessica couldn't keep acting anymore either. She wanted to use the same method to hit Janice back, but the butler stopped her."Kenneth, it was only a tease! Even if he's at fault, Janice shouldn't have hurt him! I guess there's no place for us here. Darrell, come on! Let's get out of here!" Jessica exclaimed."Fine! Get out of here as you w

    Unbeknownst to everyone, a group of men in suits had suddenly appeared at the entrance.Kelvin and Brent had obvious wounds on their solemn faces. They respectfully stood behind Ethan. Meanwhile, there was a scar on Ethan's brow. Ethan's cold and dominant aura loomed over the place.Darrell gaped in disbelief. "How could this be? Didn't you …"Ethan strode over with an icy expression. He then picked up the pace and stood right before Darrell in no time.Ethan reached out and grabbed Darrell's neck without a word.In comparison to Ethan, Darrell was thinner. This put him on the chopping block against Ethan's attack. The only thing Darrell could do was to reflexively take a few steps back. However, Ethan was walking faster and faster.Noticing that there was some champagne behind them, Jessica yelled, "Stop! Stop right there!" She shouted with all her might, but it was in vain. Her only hope was Edmund. "Edmund, stop him!"But Edmund stood still with an indifferent express

But Ethan's embrace made her feel safe, as though she was an abandoned puppy that finally found its owner.Ethan gently caressed Olivia's face. And although she was wearing makeup, he could tell that something was wrong with one glance. "Feeling unwell?"Since there were a lot of watchful eyes, Olivia put up with the pain and smiled. "I'm fine. I'm glad that you're back."Ethan glanced at the cold sweat on her forehead, assuming that Darrell and Jessica's scheming was the cause of her discomfort.Hence, Ethan was determined to clear up the mess as soon as possible.He cooed, "Don't be afraid. I'm back now. No one can bully you again."He then shifted his gaze onto Jessica. "I've heard of what happened in the past few days. I thought of saying this after today since today's Grandpa's birthday. But since you keep rambling about wanting to leave, I might as well grant you your wish. Edmund

    "Avery, what happened?" Olivia inquired.She had no clue what was happening and didn't dare to go anywhere close to Louis. The only person who she got close to was Avery."Stay away, Olivia!

    Wendell felt helpless. He was seriously down on luck.Instead of his son, he thought that he had found himself a bossy superior. It was a heartfelt reunion after 30 years of separation, and yet the first thing Wayne talked about was an announcement about his marriage rather than expressing words of concern for his family.

She was a divorced woman with four kids!On top of that, Olivia's ex-husband was Wendell's nephew! The divorced couple was somewhat entangled with each other too.Ethan and Wayne were both dear to him.

What surprised him more was that Wayne had grown up well despite hardships. Still, there seemed to be something off about this son of his.They were father and son who had been separated for years. Now that the truth was revealed, shouldn't they be hugging each other in tears of joy? Why did Wayne show no joy in reuniting with his father but seemed interested in his identity as the son of the Procter family—or more precisely, the marriage arrangement between the Procter family and the Fordham family?""Son, things are a bit complicated right now. We need to take our time to discuss this thoroughly—""Am I not your son?" Wayne's restless temperament was exactly the same as his mother's. There was no chance of dissuading him.
