Claude took it over to have a look and saw that it read, "Trevor, my son died to protect Jenna. I killed my son, my only family. I will not let your family live on peacefully. Today, let's settle it once and for all. I will raze your mansion to the ground. Mark my words. Yadriel." Claude understood Trevor's concern when he saw this. He closed his eyes and felt chills running down his spine. Norton was stunned by their expressions. He hurriedly took the letter from Claude's hand and read it. His face instantly turned pale. "Quickly evacuate all the family, guests, and servants in Richards Manor. We have to try our best to minimize the casualties. Yadriel has gone crazy." Trevor's gaze was stern as he decided. That day was the day when their relatives and friends had come to mourn Vivian. Their guests came early in the morning, and more were coming. Initially, everything was in order. However, only when Alvin and John brought their men back in a hurry did they kno
"Sabrina, let's get out of here." When Norton found Sabrina at last, he grabbed her arm and dragged her outside. He had been looking for her the whole time. He was very worried about her safety and wanted her to stay under his watch. At the time of the incident, he was busy formulating plans with Trevor and Claude. When he finally came out, Sabrina was already gone. In fact, since these things happened, Sabrina had been busy. Jenna was not there. So, she took the initiative to take over her position and did what she could. When everyone was frightened and crying, she comforted the crowd by mentioning that her father, General Delia, and Christopher were here. With this, she successfully maintained order in the crowd. Everyone had heard of General Delia's reputation and knew that Christopher, the head of the security team in Capital City, was here. They were relieved. Therefore, even in the most chaotic time, there was no accident of stepping on the dead and killi
"Carmella, I'm warning you as a friend. Don't blame me for reminding you, but some things aren't meant to be yours. Don't be greedy, lest you make a fool of yourself. You're a strong woman, as is your reputation. You know the importance of maintaining your reputation." Jaqueline turned to look at Carmella. Her tone wasn't soft. Carmella's heart sank. Her face turned pale and she was lost in her own thoughts. She was a proud woman. She had once held her head high in front of men. What had happened to her? What exactly was she doing? In a small glade in Richards Manor, the bomb disposal expert sent by Johan was busy dismantling the explosives. The instruments they brought detected some safe spots where there were no bombs present. Therefore, everyone in Richards Manor gathered there. Trevor established a temporary command center urgently and took charge of directing the operation of dismantling the bombs. When Norton brought Sabrina over, almost everyone from the
In a five-star hotel. "Madam, the bomb expert sent by General Ritchie has arrived." After receiving the news, Quina rushed in and told Lilian. "Okay." Lilian, who was sitting restlessly in the room, immediately stood up and nodded. The increasingly strong and ominous feeling made her body tense. After hearing from Quina, she ordered, "Ask them to rush to the mansion immediately." "Yes, ma'am." Quina nodded. She hesitated for a moment and said cautiously, "But Madam, Johan sent a bomb expert to the mansion." Lilian sneered with disdain, "These terrorists are from the war-torn country. The bomb must be foreign to them. No matter how powerful the experts he sent are, they can't solve this mess. If they could, then I would have called them long ago." After hearing this, Quina suddenly realized Lilian's intentions. "I am doing this out of respect to Vivian. She was wise throughout her life. Now that it's only been days since she passed, the mansion that s
"Child, you must be tired." A warm and kind voice rang in her ear. The voice was familiar, coming from the distant horizon. She wanted to turn around to see who it was, but a pair of warm hands held her up. "Come and sit here. Don't worry." She didn't know who the person was and was led to sit on the lounge chair beside her. Naturally, she raised her head and found them looking at her. There was kindness and anxiety in their eyes. She had seen these eyes before. They were so familiar and warm. "Madam Lilian," Jenna cried out in surprise as she stared. Why was she here? "Yes, child, it's me." Madam Lilian didn't explain anything. She just sat down beside her and held her hand. She rubbed it gently and sighed. "Your hand is so cold. Child, you have suffered a lot. I'm sorry I'm late." Jenna was still watching her dumbfoundedly. It was beyond her expectation that Madam Lilian would be so kind. In fact, she and Lilian were not close. For Lilian to be so
"Mr. Richards, it's me," Alvin said anxiously. "Several bombs in the mansion have been deactivated, but there's a poisonous gas bomb. We can't take down bombs with different models. Currently, the bomb disposal experts are at a loss at what to do. They have never seen this type of bomb before. So, they don't dare to touch them. The sun is setting. According to Mr. Jordan's interrogation of the terrorists, Yadriel plans to flee abroad tonight at seven o'clock. Before he flees, he'll definitely trigger the bombs. The time for these bombs is all set at seven o'clock too. Time is running out. It's bad." Hansen's hand, which was holding the phone, trembled slightly. Soon, he said in a low voice, "Don't worry. He hasn't achieved his goal yet. Now, the police and army are searching for him. He can't escape. This must be one last dying struggle. Since he is still giving conditions, it means that he has some concerns. It'll be fine." As Hansen spoke, his heart sank. "Jenna, st
The people led by Gareth were so busy that most of them were sweating. Sensing the tall man's obvious contempt for them, they were irritated. The man looked at them and said, "Mr. Richards, we have been here for more than an hour. We have inspected the surroundings. It is basically safe outside. So, we would like you to cooperate." Trevor also knew that Gareth and the rest were unable to deactivate these bombs. Initially, he had wanted them to work together. However, the other party wasn't friendly and completely looked down on Gareth and his men. It was a really bad time for him to say anything. After all, they had been working hard. "Mr. Richards, Madam Lilian invited the world's top bomb experts. These bombs were all transported from the war-torn country. Your bomb experts should leave. Even if they deactivated them successfully, there will be risks. Therefore, I ask you to cooperate and ask them to leave as soon as possible. We are pressing for time. Either you continue
"What exactly do you want? Come at me if you have the guts. Don't implicate the innocent," Hansen asked through gritted teeth, holding back the anger in his heart. "It's very simple. Hand over the Ocean Heart and send it to the place I've chosen. If you want to be quick, then you must reach it within fifteen minutes. Otherwise, my suicide bombers will blow up and cause everyone to perish together with the mansion. I will send the address to your phone." After saying these words ferociously, Yadriel immediately hung up the phone. Hansen remained rooted to the spot. Soon, there was a message. He opened it and saw an address. Even though Hansen had grown up in A City, it took him a long time to figure out where the address was. It was indeed precise. When he arrived at the scene, the gunfight was over. Sabrina was protected by Norton as she heard a gunshot. Only a moment later did she realize what had happened. Warm liquid flew out from Norton's body. S
Santiago went home once more to retrieve Jepherson's sperm from the sperm bank. After that, Raeleigh got pregnant through medical procedures. However, when Raeleigh was only three days pregnant, the doctor made a major discovery. He informed her that he made progress with Shaney's illness , and that he might have misdiagnosed her condition. At that time, Raeleigh had been so overjoyed that Shaney was fine, and she only remembered that she was pregnant after half a month since learning about Shaney. By the time she remembered that she was with child, she wanted to stop her pregnancy. However, Santiago persuaded her to give the baby to him. Raeleigh pondered about it for a long time before finally agreeing. ...... Time passed in a blink of an eye, and Raeleigh had never expected for things to turn out the way it did. She gave birth to her second child, and Shaney had made a full recovery. Santiago had told her that the baby was the will of God, and he
When Raeleigh got out of the car, she began staring at the Richards family's courtyard. Although the Richards family had already buried Marissa's body, Raeleigh was still unwilling to go back. However, as she gazed at Carsten's precious little face that was looking at her expectantly, she had no choice but to follow Jepherson inside. At that moment, Santigo and the other children were in the yard. When Santiago saw Raeleigh and Jepherson, he smiled and gestured at Jepherson. "What are you doing?" Raeleigh asked when she saw Santiago. "Nothing." Though Raeleigh did not believe Jepherson, she decided not to ask further. When Carsten saw Forden and Shaney, he immediately tried to break away from Jepherson's arms, wanting to get to them. The children were all gathered in the Richards family manor that day. Coupled with the four other children of the Whalen family, there were ten children altogether, and they almost occupied the entire courtyard. Ra
Raeleigh said nothing as Carsten continued sinking his teeth into Jepherson's neck. She stared in shock as blood seeped out of his wound. Jepherson raised his hand and patted Carsten gently, then walked to the bed and sat down. After a while, Carsten finally fell asleep. He closed his eyes as he dozed off in Jepherson's arms. Meanwhile, Raeleigh had rushed out of the room to ask the hotel staff to prepare disinfectants before going back into the room to help Jepherson clean his wound. Jepherson leaned against the wall, still holding Carsten in his arms and unwilling to let go. Raeleigh frowned. "What should we do?" Jepherson's voice was a little hoarse. He had been busy for the past two days entertaining guests. "He got scared because of the crowd. He thought that you didn't want him anymore since he couldn't find you, and probably thinks that I'm the one who forced him to stay there." After bandaging Jepherson's wound, Raeleigh helped wipe Carsten's mouth. Sudd
After Raeleigh and the others left, Santiago walked to Zorion's car and stopped him. Zorion casted a glance outside. "Rossie, you should go first. He won't show any mercy once I get off." "You knew he wouldn't show you mercy, so why didn't you think of that before you caused trouble?" "I was just kidding! Who knew he'd have such a bad temper? I didn't expect him to take it seriously." Rossie sighed and gave in. Glancing at Zorion, she finally understood that he was only using her as an excuse to escape whenever he got into trouble. She got out of the car and looked at Santiago who stood opposite her. "Long time no see." "Where's Zorion?" "He's so afraid of you that he doesn't even dare to come out," said Rossie. "It's too late to be scared." He walked up to Zorion's car with the rod in his hand, then raised the stick and smashed it against the car until it was completely wrecked. When he was done, he tossed the stick aside, turned to pick
After leaving the kindergarten, Raeleigh followed Santiago to the Richards family manor. It had been four years since she returned, so she was no longer familiar with the place. Santiago went in, put Carsten down and asked the children to keep themselves entertained. He then looked at Raeleigh and said, "I came back this time because Mrs. Richards is dying. She has been unconscious for a while now. I came back to see her for the last time." Raeleigh asked, "Mrs. Richards?" "Yes. Jepherson hasn't been home these couple of days because he has gone to visit her. He didn't tell you about it because Mrs. Richards doesn't want to see you. While she was still herself, she did say that she would never let you into the family, and that she didn't want to see you ever again. Jepherson went to take care of her but was worried about you. So, he asked me to come home to take a look and it was only then did I find out that Carsten is autistic. This is on your plate now."
When the time came, Raeleigh enrolled Carsten into a kindergarten. On the first day of school, Carsten was bullied. Raeleigh felt sorry for him as she gently touched his swollen face. He had been beaten because he could not speak. She wanted to confront the bully, but Jepherson stopped her. He told her that Carsten should resolve this matter by himself. That year, Raeleigh could not sleep well at night. Hair loss became an issue, and she was exhausted all the time. But after half a month, the children stopped bullying Carsten. Instead, their parents came to Raeleigh's home. "Just take a look at your child..." The parents pointed to their child, and Raeleigh was confused when she saw a boy about the same height as Carsten. The boy seemed to have taken a serious beating, but when Carsten had gotten beaten up like this, Raeleigh hadn't gone to look for trouble with the bully's parents, did she? Raeleigh retorted, "And? It's normal for
The snow was falling heavily. Jepherson put away the phone and took Raeleigh back into the house. The two stood inside and watched the snow. Meanwhile, Hadrian and Scarlette were busy in the kitchen, not daring to make a sound. The Richards family manor remained quiet when winter was approaching. None of the family members returned even on New Year's Day. Raeleigh went to the yard and waited for them in advance, but no one came back. After New Year's Day, Raeleigh returned to her home with Jepherson. Her family members were all surprised to see her pregnant when she got home. They did not expect Raeleigh to be pregnant after being missing for several months. Moreover, she was almost due. Everyone in the Osteen family knew that Raeleigh stayed because of the baby inside her belly. Undoubtedly, the baby was Jepherson's. However, they wondered where Santiago went. Since Raeleigh said nothing, no one dared to ask about it. They all ignored the incident and sil
Raeleigh was stopped by Jepherson's men at the entrance of the village. 'I knew it wouldn't be easy for me to run away.' "Madam Raeleigh, Mr. Richards is waiting for you." Raeleigh had no choice but to go back with them. At the same time, Jepherson sat on his wheelchair outside the village with a blanket on his lap and upon seeing Raeleigh, he breathed a sigh of relief. Raeleigh walked up to him, "Don't be complacent. I'll leave one day." Shifting his gaze to Raeleigh's belly, Jepherson stretched out his hand and pulled her to him. Despite being too weak to walk, he had a firm grip. Raeleigh lost her balance and fell onto his lap. She tried to escape, but he said immediately, "Don't move." Although his voice sounded terrifying to others, he was trying to negotiate. Everyone turned around to look at them, and Raeleigh blushed. Jepherson covered her body with the blanket, then placed his hand onto her belly. Raeleigh tensed up immediately. She ra
Raeleigh had been depressed for a while after Santiago's departure. After a few days, she finally calmed down a little. Jepherson's health had not improved during this period of time. Whenever he was free, he would stare at Shaney's photo in a daze. Deanna and Jacky had helped take care of Jepherson when Raeleigh fell ill. After Raeleigh recovered, she returned to taking care of him herself. However, Jepherson had been in such poor health that he couldn't even go downstairs. It took Raeleigh a lot of effort to help him get down, especially when he was unwilling to go downstairs. "Autumn is coming. I don't want to go down." He was saying that it was cold downstairs. Raeleigh replied, "I can't take care of you all the time. Are you going to exhaust me to death? Your parents left you alone and ignored you. Santiago abandoned you too. What do you want me to do? I have to work. I also have to take care of you..." "Then stop working. Take care of me." Rael
