She took a few steps back, looking at Dominic's face, and cleverly asked, "Evelyn's identity is very special? Is it related to me?"
A hint of appreciation flashed in Dominic's eyes. He hadn't expected that just one sentence would allow Alessia to guess the general situation.
He calmly uttered a few words, "Evelyn Harrington is Gordon Laroux's wife."
Evelyn is Gordon's wife?
Alessia was stunned. She hadn't expected things to be so coincidental.
If what Ava said last night was true, then Evelyn was her stepmother? But that didn't seem right, considering that she couldn't even be considered Gordon's illegitimate daughter.
The relationship was indeed somewhat complicated.
If she didn't want to get involved with the Laroux family, then it wouldn't be appropriate to have contact with Evelyn.
Dominic's reminder indicated tha
Alessia raised an eyebrow as she saw Dominic standing there. His eyes, filled with pressure, swept over everyone in the laboratory, and he introduced loudly, "This is Tiffany Olsen, the new researcher in the lab.""Hello, everyone. I'm Tiffany!" Tiffany spoke generously.As soon as she finished speaking, the other researchers in the lab excitedly approached her."Miss Olsen, nice to meet you. I've heard a lot about you. You're the most talented young doctor in our generation.""Miss Olsen, I read the article you published in the medical journal last month. It was really well-written."Tiffany smiled gracefully amidst the praise from the crowd.Enzo, who had somehow moved his chair next to her, leaned closer to Alessia and mischievously asked, "Sia, imagine if Tiffany knew that you're Athena, what expression do you think she would have?"A
In the afternoon, Tiffany walked up to Riley and said, "Dr. Sinclair, I just arrived today and I'd like to invite everyone out for dinner tonight."Riley stopped his work and looked at the sensible Tiffany, then glanced at the obviously antisocial Enzo. He smiled and said, "Dr. Olsen, I understand what you mean. But you've just arrived, how can we let you treat?"With that, Riley stood up and announced on the spot, "We'll have a dinner party in the lab tonight to welcome our new colleague. Everyone must attend."As Riley's words fell, the lab erupted in excitement.Tiffany glanced at Alessia, satisfied, and returned to her seat, sending a short message to Dominic.[Dom, we're having a welcome dinner for Enzo in the lab tonight. If you're free, come and join us.]Soon, a reply came from the other end.[Depends on the situation!]&nb
Gordon was taken aback, surprised that Christian knew about Doctor Athena. However, he quickly remembered that when Christian arrived, he and Tiffany were discussing Doctor Athena, so he suppressed his surprise.The little one must have overheard their conversation.Gordon smiled wryly and didn't hide it. "You're right. Only Doctor Athena can ensure the recovery of your grandma."Christian bit her lip, glanced again at Alessia, and whispered, "Grandpa, I will help Grandma figure something out."Gordon hesitated for a moment, then smiled. What kind of solution could a child under five think of? Could he even know Doctor Athena?Obviously not, but the child's sincerity was touching.Gordon couldn't bear to refuse and, to amuse Christian, said, "Okay, Grandpa will thank you for Grandma, and I'll be waiting for your good news.""Yeah! Grandpa
The same two people, producing two different DNA test reports. What does Ava want to do again?Gordon recalled that rainy night years ago when he admitted Ava to the psychiatric hospital.Through the iron bars of the hospital, Ava, with a fierce expression, swore to him that she would never let him off.Ava had been discharged from the hospital for many years now. During these years, she seemed to have kept quiet, not causing any trouble again. Gordon didn't pay attention to her anymore because he detested her.With such a big disturbance this time, does she want to cause trouble again?Now Evelyn couldn't afford any stimulation due to illness. Regardless of whether Ava came for him or not, and regardless of whether Alessia and Ava were mother and daughter, as long as it had something to do with the Ramirez family, he couldn't let her get close to Evelyn again.
Tiffany choked. She understood Alessia's implication.Alessia pretended not to notice her, but she was clearly pointing out her actions. Tiffany knew her little tricks, there was no use trying to conceal them.This countryside girl was even more difficult to deal with than she had imagined. No wonder Sisca had suffered losses in her hands multiple times.Taking a deep breath in her heart, Tiffany realized that the situation hadn't reached the point of completely tearing their faces.If their faces were torn, it wouldn't be convenient for her to make any more moves in the future.Moreover, in the short term, she still had to work in the laboratory with Alessia. At least she could maintain a surface peace.With these thoughts in mind, Tiffany put on a natural smile and pretended, following Alessia's words, "Miss La Rosa, you didn't see me? Then I must have been
For several days in a row, he had done several unusual things. Even though the thread of his love was thick, he gradually understood his own feelings.He was just suppressed by various factors, so he dared not face it. And now, he still didn't want to face it.Dominic asked, "Is this related to you?"Enzo sighed, "Actually, it's not a big problem. I just wanted to tell you that I also want to pursue Sia."Dominic was stunned to hear Enzo's confession, then a trace of anger rose in his heart, but he quickly suppressed it.His deep eyes coldly stared at Enzo and calmly said, "Do you know she's already a mother?""Yeah, I know. She's divorced with two children, and I don't mind," Enzo said casually. "I will treat those two children as my own."Is he asking for death?Dominic's face twisted slightly, grinding his teeth, "
"Mr. Carter, you're playing dirty," Enzo was stunned, understanding why his father had called him at this moment."Dirty? As business partners, I feel obligated to help Mr. Roberts..." Here, Dominic deliberately paused, raised an eyebrow, and looked at Enzo before sarcastically saying, "to educate his unruly son."Enzo felt suppressed by Dominic's presence, but he didn't show any signs of backing down, staring back at him.Just as everyone noticed the tension between Enzo and Dominic, thinking they were about to fight in the next second, the two of them tactfully looked away.Dominic naturally placed the peeled crayfish into a bowl and handed it to Alessia."Wow, such a big bowl of crayfish meat. I wish my boyfriend would peel them for me too.""Mr. Carter seems to have feelings for Miss La Rosa...?"Those in the lab who didn't know about
The message was sent to M, but there was no response until the car entered Forest Hill. Just as Alessia settled down, M's call finally came.Glancing at Riley, who had already gone upstairs, Alessia walked to the window to take the call."Boss, you finally remembered me," M's voice, as lively as ever, greeted her.Alessia couldn't help but smile slightly, but her tone remained cool. "Can we stick to business?""Sure thing, boss. You're always so business-minded, but I still like you," M teased, then continued, "Boss, IronRose and NeoNinja were the youngest hackers to apply to the Hacker Association. They both got invitations, but guess what happened next?"M deliberately left her hanging, and Alessia narrowed her eyes before replying, "They both backed out.""Woah, boss, you already knew the answer and still asked me? Are you pulling my leg?" M complained on
When Alessia heard Victor's words, she became a little anxious.She didn't want to see either Enzo or Dominic get hurt.Alessia left the room, and Victor wiped his mouth, proudly sighing. "Raising such an outstanding granddaughter is troublesome, always attracting trouble."When Alessia arrived at the mountaintop, she saw two equally damaged sports cars parked to the side.The two owners of the cars were hanging on the slope, climbing up while fighting and pulling each other back."What are you doing?" she called out to the two men risking their lives in this senseless fight."Sia.""Sia."Both of them, upon seeing Alessia, reached out their hands, hoping she would help them.Alessia thought for a moment and then extended both hands to pull them up."You two, use some strength and climb up first."Both men were dissatisfied with Alessia's decision to help them both simultaneously.Just moments before, they had been fighting each other fiercely. Now, they exchanged a glance and formed a
Listening to Victor's complaints, Alessia unscrewed the bottle and smelled the liquid inside.She noticed that when she took the bottle, Enzo's gaze fell on her, looking particularly nervous.She looked at him.Enzo stared into her eyes, urging, "Sia, after drinking it, you'll regain your memory."Alessia had an intuition that Enzo wasn't lying. She looked back at Victor.The old naughty boy had already sat down on the sofa, leisurely crossing his legs, not even giving her a glance.With her strong clinical experience in medicine, Alessia knew that the liquid was not poisonous.Lost memories were lost, but when it came to Elle's prenatal toxicity, no matter what reaction she would have after drinking it, she had to give it a try.Alessia closed her eyes, tilted her head back, and drank the entire bottle of liquid.
At this moment, the captain of the security team handed him a phone."Mr. Carter, take a look at this phone. Our team found it at the gate of the community during the morning patrol. It's turned off, and we can't find any information on it!"Dominic took it and almost recognized it at a glance. It was Alessia's phone.Alessia's phone was left at the gate of the community, but there was no information about Alessia in the surveillance.This proves that Alessia must have had an accident, and it was premeditated.Less than 24 hours since her disappearance, with only one phone, it couldn't prove that Alessia was really in trouble, so he couldn't call the police yet. Dominic could only arrange for the Carter family's forces to search for Alessia on a large scale.At this time, there was no need to be polite to Gordon.He also called Gordon.
Bar.Alessia drank half a cup of wine in one gulp. When she wanted to continue drinking, her glass was snatched away.Half-supporting her chin, Alessia looked at Dominic with drunken eyes."Give me back my wine. I'm happy, and I still want to drink. Dominic, be happy for me too. I not only have a dad now but also a mom."Dominic looked at Alessia, who pretended to be happy despite feeling sad inside, with a heart full of tenderness.He picked up her glass and drank the remaining half in one gulp.Turning back, his gaze was focused and gentle."Sia, of course, I'm happy for you. Actually, you can't blame Uncle Laroux for this. If I were him, I wouldn't have any favorable feelings towards any child other than the one I had with you. Of course, I would never let myself reach the level Uncle Laroux has.""Really?" Alessia
With an anxious heart, he rushed back to the hospital. When he reached the door of the operating room, he saw Dominic, Christian, Eleanor, and Christopher standing outside.Why was Dominic's family here?Gordon was stunned. At this moment, the hospital director personally handed him the consent form for the surgery."Mr. Laroux, Dr. Athena has agreed to perform the surgery on Mrs. Laroux herself. She contacted me the morning before yesterday, and I have already conducted all the necessary pre-operative examinations on Mrs. Laroux. There is no problem with Mrs. Laroux's physical condition for the surgery. You just need to sign."Alessia had already agreed.What was going on during these past few days when she chased Alessia every day for Evelyn's surgery?Was she just teasing him?Was she treating him like a fool?Gord
"Of course not." Gordon answered without hesitation, "If it were me and Evelyn's daughter, she would be the kindest child in the world."Unexpectedly, Gordon was so hypocritical.Alessia felt a bit complicated when she suddenly had that thought. She didn't know whether she should be moved or continue to hate."You can go back now, I don't need anything," Alessia said."How could you not want anything?" Gordon didn't believe it. "I told you, I'm asking for your help. You can make requests. You must have met Ava, right? If it's because of what Ava said, I can tell you now that I agree to marry her."Gordon clearly loved Evelyn so much, yet he agreed to marry Ava?Alessia looked at Gordon with a gaze like he was insane, and seeing Gordon's seriousness and pain, it didn't seem like he was pretending.She suddenly understood that when love went deep, it was
"Nonsense, I'm not doing this for Evelyn," Harrison retorted.True, driven by self-interest, he wanted to make a comeback with the help of the Laroux family. But deep down, he also resented the Laroux family, especially Alessia.So, watching the Laroux family suffer, he had no reason to help them. At most, he wouldn't kick them while they were down, just to ensure the fire didn't spread back to him."Not doing it is enough. Brother, forget about this matter. I won't ask for your help anymore. Whether I'm good or bad has nothing to do with you. Just don't send me to the hospital," Ava sighed in relief, revealing her soft side again, her emotions fluctuating.Saying she wasn't sick, some people found it hard to believe."No way," Harrison refused adamantly. "You must go to the hospital."If Ava ran wild outside for a day, she would become the fire that would in
It was the first time Harrison had ever lost his temper with her, and Ava was momentarily stunned, rendered speechless by the sudden attack.She did indeed want to coax some truth out of Harrison regarding what had happened to Alessia during the days she was detained. But Ava had long forgotten what shame was, and after a few seconds of silence, she began to cry in grievance."Brother, how can you resent me like this? I wanted to marry Gordon to help our family, what happened to Nolan was an accident, and what almost happened to Jessie was also an accident. I didn't want any of this."Seeing the tears on Ava's face, Harrison's anger subsided slightly, replaced by the familiar pain when facing Ava.Taking advantage of the moment, Ava continued, knowing that if she didn't tell some truth now, Harrison would never trust her again. So with a teary voice, she continued, "I'm not lying this time. Believe m
On the other side,It was already nine o'clock, there were no stars in the sky nor was it raining.Outside the police station, Gordon looked inside, waiting.About ten minutes passed, and Ava, still wearing the clothes she had worn in the hospital a few days ago, walked out from somewhere.The two of them exchanged a silent glance.Ava stopped and looked at Gordon for several seconds before sneering and walking up to him. "Gordon, you hated me so much, why did you bail me out?"Gordon's face darkened, “Ava, I hate you. You pushed things too far, and no one else is to blame. Look at what you've done to the Ramirez family.”“It's all because of you. If it weren't for you, how could my daughter have died? If it weren't for revenge against you, the Ramirez family wouldn't have come to this."At this point, Ava lost contro
