CHAPTER 56

The investigation was immediately closed just days after what happened to Arthur. The truck driver who crashed into him was also dead, and Martha didn’t bother to file a case against the company that owned the vehicle.

“The cellphone wasn’t among the things recovered from Sir Arthur during the rescue operation. We’re still looking for it.”

The weight on her shoulders grew heavier. There was so much she didn’t know. She had settled into the idea that she was the reason for her stepfather’s coma.

She paced back and forth in front of him.

“Who was he talking to? That person is definitely responsible for all of this, Wulf.”

“We’re getting there, Kitten. We have a list of suspects, but we need evidence.”

“Martha—”

“She’s one of the suspects,” he agreed with her accusation.

“Who else could have done it but her?” Her anger towards the woman surged again. Wulfric reached for her hand, gently stroking it, slowly calming her down.

    CHAPTER 57She stopped herself from grabbing Eva’s hair and letting her jealousy take over.With no strength left in her, she turned away and followed Angus.The boy was startled when she entered, having just arrived there moments earlier."Did you find it?" she forced a smile, though her chest tightened with each breath."Y-Yes," Angus replied hesitantly. He kept glancing behind her as if expecting someone else.She stepped closer and extended her hand to him. "Shall we go?"He remained frozen, staring at her hand."Is something wrong?""Have you seen Papa?"Her chest felt even heavier with his question. "Yes, I did. Now, shall we go? Earl and Lottie are waiting for us."The boy stepped back, his brows furrowing. "You saw my mom with Papa.""Yes," she said, keeping her voice calm, though her heart ached."Why are you still being nice to me? Are you pretending and just waiting to hurt me when no one is looking?!""No, Angus. I’m kind to you because I want to be," she answered softly.

    CHAPTER 58[CHANNING KIDS]"Maybe you helped your bad mom hurt our momma," Charlotte said angrily, glaring at Angus, who sat quietly in the corner like an innocent child.Rufus had sent them to the villa after the doctor confirmed that their Momma was going to be fine."Daddy already scolded him, Lottie. Stop it," Earl said gently.Lottie’s eyebrows nearly touched as she crossed her arms."Why are you being nice to him? He hates us, Earl. He really hates Momma too. Momma didn’t do anything to him, and yet you still protected him earlier?""Momma said we should make friends.”"I don’t want him to be my friend. Momma was kind to him, and all he did was help his bad mom hurt her. Are you jealous because we’re Daddy’s babies? Do you just want Daddy all to yourself? Daddy said you’re his baby too, so why are you mad at us?"Angus remained silent, his head bowed. This only made Lottie angrier. Her small fists clenched as she glared at him."If anything bad happens to our Momma, I’ll never f

    CHAPTER 59The case she filed against Martha had officially reached the court. As the lawyer had predicted, Martha countered with the argument that she was Arthur’s legal guardian. Their first hearing was set for the following week.She hadn’t heard a single word from Martha’s camp, which only added to her worries. Even Catherine, who typically threw fits every time Elizabeth was involved in any trouble, had remained surprisingly quiet."At least the twins get along with Chairman Channing," Cecil mused aloud.She sat beside Cecil, who was arranging flowers. The room had come to life since the two of them began keeping watch over Sir Arthur.“Cecil, have you ever met Chairman Channing?”The older woman shook her head. “No, but they must have been friends. I remember Arthur mentioning him a few times. Why do you ask, Liz?”“I’m just curious about Mr. Eldridge. He knows we have plenty of resources to cover Papa’s medical expenses, but he still insisted on me marrying the Channing.”“Mayb

    CHAPTER 60 Channing's men found Eldridge in Kochi, Japan. He had been moving from one hiding place to another until he ended up in that location. Channing’s team had a confrontation with another group before finding Eldridge’s lifeless body inside an old apartment.Elizabeth feared the bad news might affect Sir Arthur. Eldridge had been with him for years and certainly knew many things—perhaps the very reason someone was after him. She couldn't stop wondering who might have killed him. Martha certainly didn’t have the money to afford someone to track Eldridge constantly. Martha was now relying solely on her maternal siblings for support.“Daddy!”Elizabeth peeked out when she heard the children’s excited voices in the living room.“We’ll take care of things here. Go greet your husband, Liz,” Melba teased her, along with the other helpers.“Let’s set the table.”“Oh, come on, ma’am, don’t be shy. It’s normal for a wife to welcome her husband home,” another helper teased, causing them

    CHAPTER 61“E-Eli…za…b-beth…”Elizabeth grasped her father’s hand tightly, nodding as tears welled up in her eyes. His gaze was filled with emotion, and though he tried to speak again, only a raspy sound escaped him.“Yes, it’s me. I’ve missed you so much, Papa.”She gently touched Arthur’s cheek as tears began to fall from his eyes. Despite his frail state, he motioned for her to come closer, signaling for a hug, which she immediately embraced.They held each other tightly, and Arthur gently stroked her hair as if she were his own child. Elizabeth then began to tell him about her children, and she could see the eagerness in his eyes to meet the twins.“This will be your office once you’re introduced to the rest of the employees,” Shanaya, the former secretary of Martha, said as she led Elizabeth into the CEO’s office. Shanaya spoke softly, her demeanor warm and gentle. Elizabeth thought she might want to keep her as her secretary if she agreed.“Do you still have contact with Auntie

    CHAPTER 62She was stunned by what she just heard. But before she could question Martha, the police had already pulled her away. Elizabeth stood there, utterly shocked by what she had just learned.She was Arthur’s daughter? A child born out of sin?“Kitten…”Tears streamed down her face as she lifted her eyes to meet his.Wulf’s expression softened, and he cupped her cheeks gently. “What happened?”She shook her head, her lips trembling as a sob escaped. Without thinking, she buried her face in his chest, forgetting her previous attempts to distance herself from him.Martha wouldn’t have said something like that out of nowhere. She had always called Elizabeth a “bastard,” but Elizabeth had never understood why. Now that she was putting the pieces together, she felt utterly lost.“You’re struggling to breathe, Kitten. Stop crying now,” Wulfric whispered, his hands tenderly caressing her face, occasionally placing soft kisses on the tip of her nose.“He… he’s so unfair. Why didn’t he te

Now explain this whole mess of divorce papers you submitted. I'm going insane here, woman!"Thankfully, the patio was far enough from the house; otherwise, everyone inside would have been disturbed by Wulfric’s outburst."I'm setting you free from this marriage. I'm sure you never wanted this in the first place. Neither did I.""Who told you that?!"She scowled. "It’s the truth. It was just an arrangement between our families. What else are you complaining about?""You're unbelievable!""Just sign the papers. Don't worry, I’m not going to keep the kids from you.""Do you really think this is what’s best for our children?""They’re smart. They’ll understand.""But I won't!" He pointed to himself firmly. "I can’t understand why you'd submit that fucking divorce paper in the first place."She mentally scolded herself for thinking

    CHAPTER 64"Are you two okay over there?" Cecil called out from the entrance of the patio.Wulfric didn’t even flinch. His cold gaze remained fixed on her."Y-Yes, we’re fine," Elizabeth managed to say, though her voice trembled slightly."You two were shouting. You woke up Arthur," Cecil added."I'm not bluffing, Kitten. I’ll kill her."A chill ran down Elizabeth’s spine. She stood there, frozen, as Wulfric's words echoed in her ears. Before she could respond, Cecil approached them."I don’t mean to interfere, but you shouldn’t be arguing like this at each other. You’re worrying Arthur upstairs," the older woman said, her eyes filled with concern.Elizabeth averted her gaze, unable to meet her husband's piercing stare.“We’re done talking, Cecil. Let’s go inside,” she muttered, trying to keep her voice steady.Cecil hesitated, casting a worried glance at Wulfric "You two should finish your conversation. I’ll take care of Arthur.""We're not done, Kitten," Wulfric’s voice sliced throu

By six o’clock sharp, he was already outside the restaurant, hoping to pick her up.“Then let’s bring them along.”She shook her head. “The kids asked me to come home early.”“They’re your parents now?” he teased.“They just want to spend more time with me. My children are still young—they need me more than anyone else.”He was about to argue when Giovanni approached them, stepping in between her and Allenon.“Angus is looking for you,” he said seriously.He didn’t budge until she replied.“Fine, I’ll take a time-out.”“I’ll take you—”Van cut Allenon off. “I’ll handle it. Angus specifically asked for me.”Giovanni even accompanied her while she clocked out, ensuring her suitor had no chance to offer a ride.As she walked toward the apartment, she noticed Giovanni trailing behind, but he quickly disappeared when she caught sight of a figure standing in a dimly lit spot.

If not today, then tomorrow or the next, someone else from Southshire would undoubtedly come looking for her. The peace she had carefully nurtured over the past five months was on the verge of being disrupted.“Did you talk to him?” Mrs. Ivanovich greeted her with the question as she came inside.“Yes, Ma’am. Just an acquaintance,” she answered politely.“Oh, he seemed so eager to speak with you. We thought it was something urgent. He even said he’d trespass if we didn’t let him in.”“He just wanted to say something, Ma’am. He won’t be coming back,” she replied and apologized for Maddoxx Almir’s behavior.Mrs. Ivanovich insisted on having them driven home, even though their apartment was just in the center of Northshire. During the ride, she couldn’t help but glance repeatedly at the side mirror. Maddoxx’s car had been

    CHAPTER 96“Ms. Shanon?”She blinked several times.“Are you okay?”She nodded at Cale and quickly averted her gaze. She wished she could just crawl under the table out of embarrassment. She’d been completely lost in thought while staring blankly at him.Why did his eyes have to be gray, too?“Sorry, Sir. I suddenly got a headache,” she explained.“You can go home early.”Her boss was considerate to all employees. It wasn’t obvious because he was always serious and rarely smiled, but his kindness showed in moments like this.His son, Giovanni, had clearly inherited his personality rather than his mother’s. Ma’am Jenza, on the other hand, was warm and approachable, always smiling and quick to connect with everyone—even though she practically owned most of the land in Northshire.“I can manage, Sir. It’s only a few hours until my break.”“Alright. Will you pick up these spices then?”“Sorry, Sir,” she declined. “I can’t leave my kids alone at home.”“Ah, yes. I forgot. I’ve been to Sout

    CHAPTER 95"Wokey dowkey, Momma."Though she was exhausted and still half-asleep, Elizabeth had no choice but to get up when she heard Charlotte’s voice. It was too early, and yet the little troublemaker was already causing a noise.Charlotte suddenly jumped on top of her, making her gasp for air."Wokey dowkey now, Momma. The baby princess is hungry!”"Where are your brothers?""Earl is playing with Harmony." Charlotte answered, referring to the golden-haired cat from the next apartment. Its chubby frame had completely won over her eldest. "While brother Angus is doing the laundry. He doesn’t want me to help him."That got Elizabeth fully awake. Despite telling Angus that she could do the laundry for him, he insisted on doing it himself. If she hadn't stopped him from cooking in the kitchen, he would probably have been the one preparing meal while she was at work."I'm almost done, Momma," Angus called from the laundry room, standing proudly in front of the washing machine."Thank yo

    CHAPTER 94“I’ll have the driver take you home, Elizabeth,” Cairus said while gently gripping her arm to lead her away from the interrogation room.Her entire body felt numb as she let him guide her.“My son didn’t mean what he said.”She gave a soft, bitter laugh and shook her head. “Please tell him I wish he hadn’t messed up my life.”Leaving him looking sympathetic, she walked away.She didn’t need Cairus’s pity. Even if he beat Wulfric to a pulp, it wouldn’t change the fact that his son had something to do with her father’s death. He’d mentioned her father’s name to Wulfric, knowing full well how violent her husband could be, yet he still mentioned it.Did Cairus not consider what that could lead to?“Condolences, Elizabeth. We didn’t expect Arthur to leave us this soon.”The woman who spoke reached for her hand, giving it a gentle squeeze before pulling her into a brief hug. Sensing Elizabeth’s stiffness, the woman let go and walked away, understanding that she needed space to gr

    CHAPTER 93A Nightmare.She wished it was just a terrible nightmare. That she would wake up and still see Arthur's cheerful face lighting up whenever he looked at her.Not like the cold, lifeless body now lying before her.“P-Papa, why are you sleeping there?” Her voice was weak and trembling as she stared at her father’s pale body.He didn’t respond. Desperate, she gently shook him, but his eyes remained shut. The tears she had been holding back finally spilled over.“Papa…”Elizabeth clung to her father’s lifeless form while sobbing uncontrollably.“Wake up, Papa. Please. Please, wake up,” she pleaded. Her voice breaking like a child begging for a miracle.“You can’t leave me. You promised me. You said you’d make it up to me. I’ve only known you were my father for a year. Why did you leave me?”Her hands slipped from his lifeless body as her knees buckled, and she collapsed onto the floor.Melba quickly rushed to her side, draping a coat over her trembling shoulders.

The sound of two boys laughing and Wulfric’s deep voice echoed from inside.“Momma’s here! Momma’s here now!”Charlotte quickly slid off the couch when she spotted her mother. The children raced toward her and wrapped their little arms around her legs.“Daddy picked us up from school, Momma! Where were you?”“I went to your Grandpa Art’s house.”“You didn’t wait for us! We wanted to see Grandpa Art, too.”She gently pinched Lottie’s cheek. “Next time, okay?”Obediently, Lottie nodded before running back to Wulfric, proudly announcing her mother’s presence as though he hadn’t noticed.“Daddy’s home now! Momma, say ‘I miss you’ to him!”Elizabeth hesitated, unsure whether to approach Wulfric or stay where she was and wait for him to make the first move.Angus and Earl gave her a playful shove.She stumbled right into Wu

Her best friend was a career woman, while she spent her days staring at the walls of a massive mansion.“Don’t be sad. Talk to Alpha again and tell him you want to work.”“I already did,” she said, shaking her head. She wanted to push her husband further, but how could she when even his shadow was nowhere to be found?She and the kids had been staying at the manor for several days, and during those three days, her husband hadn’t come home even once.“I’m sure you two will make up.

Saying something like that to Angus felt like treating the boy as a dog that could simply be given away.“I love Momma and Papa. But you’re my father, Chairman. Papa Wulf may not like it.”“Use your brain, kid. I’m giving you an idea to have a complete family. Your mother isn’t coming back.”“Don’t you like me, Chairman?”The sad tone of his brother’s voice made Wulfric’s jaw tighten. He could tell Angus was holding back tears and struggling not to break down.“You’re a bastard. There’s no place for you—”Wulfric’s patience snapped. He kicked the door open with force. His fists clenched as he stormed toward the two, and both frozen in shock at his sudden appearance.“You motherfucker! Heartless old man!”“We’re having a conversation, Nikolaus Wulfric. I didn’t ask you here to my office,” Chairman Channing said coldly.“Fuck your rules.” Wulfric pointed at Angus. “He’s
