I was stunned for a moment, looking at Aunt Laura in disbelief. "How could... how could you..."

Before Aunt Laura could speak, Bob interjected, "In my opinion, you can compromise on other things, but when it comes to treating illness, you should use the best."

I glanced at Aunt Laura and agreed, "That's true. I have 40 thousand on hand. I can give it all to Aunt Laura for her treatment."

The child was gone...

I didn’t really need to have too much money.

Money could be earned back, but a person...

Unexpectedly, Bob frowned disapprovingly. "You're only offering 40 thousand?"

I replied honestly, "That's all I have."

"Do you think I'm a fool?" Bob was angry. "Don't think I don't know what kind of person your husband is. When that old man came to our house with the betrothal gifts, I asked. It's the Frost family! the Frost family of Jelaston! Five hundred thousand is nothing to you? Charlotte, how did I not realize you're a heartless person?!"

    I thought about how difficult it must be for Aunt Laura to live in this family, and couldn't help feeling a bit sorrowful. "Aunt Laura..."Aunt Laura patted my head gently. "Silly child, tell Aunt Laura, why do you want a divorce?""I... "Aunt Laura and my father actually look quite similar. Every time I look at Aunt Laura, I feel a sense of familiarity.With her question, I couldn't hold back anymore. I threw myself into her arms and sobbed, "I... I lost my child, Aunt Laura. He was growing, he had hands and feet... but I couldn't protect him. I couldn't protect him!"Aunt Laura gently patted my back, comforting me. "Silly child, relationships between people and children are all about fate. It's not your fault. It's just that this time, fate wasn't on your side.""I was so looking forward to his arrival."I longed to have a real family member of my own.I lay in Aunt Laura's arms, crying for who knows how long, until I finally calmed down. Aunt Laura wiped away my tears. "If

    When I heard those words, I was instantly dumbfounded.Were they because of me?Jack's eyes suddenly dimmed, as if he had remembered something and became absent-minded. Ryan took advantage of this moment to flip over and counterattack.He pressed Jack against the wall, storm brewing in his eyes, his expression cold and sharp. "Jack, only Charlotte would be foolish enough to think you're some kind of gentleman!""And what about you? What exactly are you?" Jack lifted his head, his eyes flashing with mixed emotions, and chuckled. "Are you worthy of her? She also..."At his words, I jolted, rushing in front of Jack just as Ryan's next punch was coming down. "Jack! Stop!"Ryan's fist grazed my cheek as it passed by, crashing straight into the wall, his expression suddenly icy.His pupils tightened, filled with a destructive anger, he sneered repeatedly. "Charlotte, do you care so much for him?"Instinctively, I wanted to explain, but then I thought, why should I explain?When had

    It was not that I didn't know about his heartlessness and decisiveness, but I never thought he would apply the same tactics to me.A sourness surged to the tip of my nose. I turned my head, forcefully suppressing the grievance in my eyes, thinking of Aunt Laura's current situation. Despite tolerating things time after time, I eventually gave in, each word tinged with bitterness."Mr. Frost, someone in my family is ill and needs a VIP ward. Could you help arrange it?"His expression instantly froze, his finger trembling slightly, his voice hoarse. "What did you call me?"I squeezed my palms. "Mr. Frost, can you make the arrangements?"This address seemed to anger him. His jaw tightened, and he coldly spat out three words. "No, I can’t.""Charlotte..."Jessica sipped water in small sips, innocently explaining, "I'm sorry, there are only three VIP wards in St. Heart Hospital. My mom occupies one all year round, I need one, and Ryan is worried and insisted I stay here. There's also

    This was my first time being so stubborn and assertive in front of Ryan, demanding something so forcefully.He looked somewhat surprised, his gaze shifting to my side, and what he said next was even colder. "Whether you can wait or not, you have no choice!""Fine." I nodded lightly and continued calmly, "Then I will let everyone know that the Frost family is rotten to the core, so rotten that even a mistress can step on the head of the legitimate wife! Let's see how you justify this to your recently departed grandfather!"At the mention of his grandfather, he suddenly froze.Seemingly realizing belatedly, what his grandfather detested most was his unclear relationship with Jessica!It wasn't clear whether he was thinking of his grandfather or worrying about Jessica's reputation.Finally, Ryan swallowed hard, suppressed his emotions, glanced at Jessica, and said coldly, "Your friend will stay in a regular ward, that's settled!"Jessica still resisted, "Ryan..."Ryan cut her off

    After finally getting a weekend off from work, the first thing I did after finishing my part-time job was to mop the floor and do the laundry, just to see a smile on his face.If it weren't for Aunt Laura insisting, I would have been kicked out by him and his son long ago.If we talked about repaying kindness, I could honestly say that I didn't owe the Lynch family anything anymore.Now, it's just that I can't let go of Aunt.And now, he actually had the nerve to tell me that it's thanks to their Lin family that I can marry Ryan.I looked at Bradley and smirked, "You studied design because of me?"Bradley said, "Yeah, it's because of you. Your gifts on holidays were so expensive, and you always provided for the family, making me think that the design industry earns a lot. Otherwise, I wouldn't have chosen this crappy major.""Which university did you graduate from?""Jelaston College."It was short for Jelaston Vocational and Technical College.Seeing his familiar face resemb

    It was Ryan!Jack's dark eyes met his directly, one gentle as water, the other cold and stern.Instantly, I felt a tense atmosphere, as if they were not childhood friends but two people standing completely opposed to each other.Upon careful recollection, I realized that since Jack returned from abroad, both he and Ryan seemed different from their days on campus.Ryan misunderstood my relationship with Jack, but what about Jack? What was his reason?However, this was their business after all, and I shouldn't pry too deeply.Ryan strode over with his long legs, exuding a strong sense of oppression. He glanced at the coat draped over me with mockery. "So intimate.""Not as much as you guys," I replied coldly without thinking.Since yesterday's incident, every word he said and everything he did seemed to drain away the little remaining affection between us.In my mind, countless times I thought, if he had pulled me away at that moment, perhaps I wouldn't have lost the child. But

    "Sorry, I found out by accident too," he apologized gently, then explained the reason. It all started when Jane posted on Twitter about my hospitalization due to a car accident. He asked for the ward number, planning to visit me today. However, when he arrived at the hospital today, he overheard the nurses chatting about me. Not only was I injured all over, but I also had a miscarriage and unbelievably got discharged the same day.I pursed my lips slightly. "So you fought with him...""We were both upset," Jack said casually. He glossed over it lightly, then looked at me with gentle eyes. "And you, how have you been these days?""It's hard to say." I lowered my eyes. "When I used to love him, I looked forward to a happy marriage. Later, when I got pregnant, I hoped every day for the child to come into this world, to become my concern, my only family. But now..."I smiled bitterly. "I don't even know what else is worth remembering."Everything became meaningless. I placed my right

    "Okay, I get you!"Tears welled up in my eyes. As I turned my head, I saw a bright star in the sky. It was as if I had suddenly pulled myself out from an emotion that could have completely shattered me at any moment.Jack handed me a tissue from the car. "Go ahead and cry. You can cry today but don't cry anymore after today. Crying too much at times like this hurts your eyes."He didn't let me stay on the mountain for too long and drove me back to the city.After hesitating for a moment, I cautiously asked, "Jack, the girl you've liked for so many years must be a really good girl, right?""Yeah."He nodded without hesitation, his eyes and brows softening. "She's the same girl I mentioned to you just now."I couldn't help but be surprised. "But... that's many years ago.""Yeah, twenty years," he blurted out.Clearly, it was a sincere and deep-rooted affection.I sighed and didn't say anything more. When we arrived downstairs at Jane's house, I softly thanked him, "Thank you fo

    Jordan, fuming with anger, threw the yogurt bottle aside and immediately stood up to leave.Westley hurriedly grabbed her hand, his tone slightly pleading, "Okay, I won’t call you that, please don’t be mad."Jordan shook off his hand. "I don’t think there’s anything left to talk about. If you don’t agree to the divorce, I’ll take things to court. I still don’t believe you can control the entire world."Westley furrowed his brows slightly, then grabbed her hand again and pulled her into his embrace.He was someone whose words attracted crowds of thousands.He was someone who never had to think long about what to say, who could easily distinguish between what was okay to say and what wasn’t.And he was someone who, no matter what he said or did, no one dared to challenge him.But at that moment, the words were at the tip of his tongue, and he spoke carefully."What do you want me to do, so that we won’t divorce?"Jordan couldn’t figure it out. Why did Westley suddenly like her?

    "There's no rush to eat. Let me first see how much someone has missed me these past few days."Zachary’s gaze instantly darkened, and he pulled her into the bedroom.Soon, the bedroom was filled with passion.The moment Jordan was thrown into the car, she immediately started running in the opposite direction.Westley grabbed her leg and pulled her back.Jordan kicked him. "Get off, you old pervert! If you touch me again, I’ll call the police."Westley helped her sit back down and instructed the driver to drive."I’m not going with you, stop the car!""I have something to say to you.""I’m not listening!"Westley coaxed her gently. "Aren’t you curious? About the Winston family?"Jordan shook her head, "I’m not curious. I can ask Jane or Charlotte. Stop the car now, or I’ll call the police."Westley said slowly, "Jane and the others can’t talk to you right now. Give me some time, and I’ll tell you everything. That way, you’ll be able to chat with them later."Jordan still re

    Zachary did not respond to Westley, but instructed Ronan to check the highway toll station for buses.Westley understood.Some buses did not require ID cards, making it difficult to leave a trace.If they had been careless, by the time Luthor reached the border area or took a private boat to leave, it would be hard to trace."I didn't expect Luthor to compromise to this extent."He was 40 years old.His life had always been smooth sailing, always traveling by special car wherever he went.This black bus was truly a hardship.Zachary stood up.Westley followed him out.As they entered the elevator, Zachary glanced at him through the elevator wall and said with a half-smile, "Are you very idle?"Westley coughed lightly. "I’ll keep quiet."Frank came to pick up Charlotte and happened to run into Zachary.His gaze fell on Westley's face, and he snickered, "Mr. Howard, are you retiring?"They knew Westley’s intentions, but they pretended not to.He did not respond, but direct

    As long as everything he had remained unchanged, he still had a chance to make things difficult for Zachary.But he also knew that with the huge leverage Zachary now had over the Winston family, the latter definitely wouldn’t let him escape easily.“Luthor, say something. What should we do?”“Yeah, you're the head of the Winston family. You have to ensure the Winston family’s safety.”“Otherwise... well, since Uncle Gregory is in critical condition, just let him take all the blame.”Luthor didn’t want to listen to any of it. He had his subordinates lock them up in a side room.His brain was working quickly, trying to figure out a solution.Just then, his phone rang.It was an international number.A glint of light flashed in his eyes as he answered.“I can help you.”A woman's voice came through, without any preamble.Luthor paused for a moment before simply saying, “Okay.”The voice continued, “But I can only save you.”“That's fine.”He hung up the phone and immediatel

    Jane said, “This is obviously the Winston family trying to control the public opinion. How could they possibly admit it?”Jordan nodded. “Exactly.”Charlotte made a phone call to Frank. After hanging up, she turned to Jane and said, “Luthor’s father was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment, but his condition isn’t good. He may not survive.”Jordan spoke first, “After all the evil he’s done, I think it’s a miracle he’s still alive. If he dies, it’s just what he deserves.”Jane put her arm around Jordan’s shoulders and shook her head. “Jordan, you’re still too young.”“What do you mean?”“Dead people don’t talk. If Luthor’s father dies, then all the responsibility will fall on him. Luthor is smart, he’ll get out of this unharmed, save the Winston family, and later, when the opportunity arises, he’ll still go after Zachary.”Jordan truly didn’t understand the power struggles of the big shots.She made a cutting gesture across her neck. “With such ruthless people in the W

    #Paternity Test Report Proves the Whistleblower is a Mine Disaster Survivor#Luthor clicked on the topic and saw the surname "Stone." He felt his vision go dark.The entire family that died had the surname "Stone.""Zachary is staging an act, of course, it has to be convincing. So it’s normal that he knows these things," said Gregory, his hand trembling uncontrollably as he held the teacup. "We can’t scare ourselves. We need to stay calm and not make any rash moves…"Luthor kicked Gregory.All respect and morals were gone."Didn’t I warn you back then? The mine disaster was risky, and we absolutely couldn’t let small gains lead to big losses!"Gregory’s health had been in decline for many years.Although he had been getting treatment, it wasn’t enough compared to Luthor, who was in his prime.The kick sent Gregory to the ground, where he couldn’t get up for a long time. Weakly, he said, "I… I was just trying… for the Winston family to prosper…"Luthor sneered. "Are you happy

    The weather was still a bit chilly right after the start of spring. It was the weekend, and there was light rain.In the morning, most of the people on holiday were in bed, playing with their phones.— #Lirad Mine Disaster#This hashtag surged to the top of trending topics at that moment.Luthor could manipulate public opinion, and Zachary could do the same.The former wanted to remove the hashtag from trending, while the latter spent money to keep it at number one.The video from Jasper, on the other hand, didn’t attract much attention anymore.All the focus was on the mine disaster hashtag, and the topic quickly surpassed ten million in views.And it was still growing.Luthor began to feel anxious and called Tim for an update.Tim said that no one had approached the place where the bodies were buried.But Luthor’s tense nerves did not relax because of that.He called a few trusted people.They all said they hadn’t seen anyone from Zachary’s side near the village."Even

    "The living could no longer speak, and the only option is to start with the dead. If the autopsy confirms it was an unnatural death, then we can start the investigation. Luthor couldn’t hide everything."Zachary nodded. "You handle it. Solve problems that you come across by yourself.""Yes, Mr. Collins."Meanwhile, Westley overheard and said, "The Winston family is ruthless, and Luthor, as the one in power, is even worse. But his father was useless. Luthor had to clean up his mess many times.""During the mine disaster, Luthor was busy. He was in such a hurry, so it definitely wasn't handled properly."Zachary just hummed in response, sat down on the sofa, and started typing on his phone.Westley thought he was dealing with something, but when he got up to pour some water, he glanced over and realized he was chatting with Jane."What are you doing?" asked Zachary.Jane sent a picture. "Watching TV."Zachary opened it and smiled faintly. "What, learning the indomitable spirit f

    Before Rick arrived, he had been briefed by Zachary.He had already anticipated the Greyson family’s reaction.So, he only delivered the message and didn’t say another word before leaving.Brandon and Amanda chased after him.Of course, they weren’t regretting their decision, it was more of a warning.“We had a chance to cooperate, it would’ve been a perfect match. The Greyson family has no blemishes that could harm Mr. Collins’s future. But it’s a pity, Mr. Collins chose a woman like that. Not only that, he’s hurt our daughter as well. It’s too late now for him to come to us for help.”Rick left, expressionless, and got into the car.It was an insult to his intelligence to say even one more word to such fools.With nothing to do at home, Jane suggested they play cards.But Jordan was more concerned, saying that in such a crisis, how could they entertain themselves?So the three of them stared at each other for a long while.Charlotte tried to lighten the mood. “How about I
