The corners of Isabela's lips twitched. “Call everyone who has ever received special service from me. If they don't want to help me resolve this scandal, their names will be dragged out. I will report their barbarity to their wives and children. Their company may not be shaken, but their household will definitely be ruined.”

Instead of nodding, Vidi grimaced. “Are you sure you want to threaten them? You don't have solid evidence, Miss Hall. In my humble opinion, this method will actually plunge you into a deeper abyss. That's the same as embarrassing yourself. The chances that Mr. and Mrs. Hall will forgive you are getting slimmer.”

“Shut up!” Isabela shouted, pointing her finger. “You dare argue with me? Do you want me to fire you? Do you think there are other people out there who would hire you?"

The man in the bowler hat looked down again. He sighed helplessly. “Okay, Miss Hall. I'll contact them.”

“Now hand over my phone!” Isabela held out her hand.

Vidi's eyebrows rose. He f

    "Be careful, Mommy." "And don't be afraid to face Finnic! That arrogant man deserves to be silenced." Kara chuckled at her children. After kissing each other on the cheek, she returned to her feet. While Kara said goodbye to Susan, Frank looked at his children sadly. "Do you guys want to hug me too?" Louis' eyes widened. "You've grown up. Are you a spoiled adult?" Frank's heart tingled when he heard that. Smiling faintly, he spread his arms. "Everyone likes to be pampered by the people they love." After hesitating, Louis finally accepted the hug. He even gave Frank a pat on the back. "Good luck, Mister Harper." Frank closed his eyes for a moment, soaking in the warmth. "Thank you, Buddy." Then, he looked at Emily expectantly. "Do you ...." The little girl's eyebrows immediately furrowed and her lips pursed. Worried that she might cry, Frank swallowed his words again. "Okay," he got up with teary eyes. "See you in two days, Emily." After saying goodbye, Frank and Kara got in

    "My God! Isn't that Frank Harper? Our country's number one businessman?" Melissa's eyebrows knitted together. She glared at her friend, but the woman didn't care. She had been hypnotized by the handsome young man in the navy blue shirt. "Oh my God! Why is he so handsome? If only I had a girl, I would have set her up with him." "Are you dreaming? How could he want your child? He even rejected the Hall family's eldest daughter." Melissa clenched her jaw tighter. Why were her friends praising another young man at her son's wedding? Only Finnic should be revered. "Melissa, your son is truly extraordinary. I didn't expect him to be friends with a world-class CEO!" Melissa let out a laugh. She didn't know whether to be flattered or insulted. "Is that so?" Before she got a reply, she was distracted again. "Look! He's with his new girlfriend. Oh my! This is gonna be big news! You're lucky, Melissa. They chose your son's wedding for their first appearance!" Melissa laughed bitterly. Her

    With a sad expression, Frank stroked Kara's face. "Are you sure you want to know?" Kara's pupils suddenly shrank. Her breathing turned heavy. "You don’t want to tell me?" “I don't think you should know. The burden on your mind is too heavy. I don't want you to be stressed by new questions.” Kara's shoulders slowly moved down. Her lips pressed together in agreement. “Now,” Frank raised her chin with his finger, “you better focus on our mission. The twins look forward to our success.” While knitting her eyebrows together, Kara pursed her lips. "We can't let the twins down." "Exactly," Frank said hoarsely. "For the sake of the kids, you must stand strong. Remember! Once all the misunderstandings are cleared up, nothing can stand between us. You and the kids will soon have my last name." He touched Kara's sharp nose. As the corners of his lips turned up, she smiled too. “Thank you, Frank.” "Protecting you is my duty, Queen Bee." Receiving that call, Kara let out a laugh. “So,” she

    “I'm now a marketing manager. Remy is the head of the division, while Jenny has been on the board of directors. Where do you work now? I heard you became an SPG.” Kara's smile turned wry. Barry never spoke so curtly before. "I just got a job in a big company," she said flatly. "As an office girl?" said one of the women. While the people in front of her laughed mockingly, Kara shook her head. "As a secretary." Instead of stopping, their laughter only got louder. "Seriously? Which company will accept you?” "With such a bad reputation, even being accepted as a janitor makes you grateful." “Enough, Kara. No need to brag. Just accept the fact that you can't deceive us anymore." Without a word, Kara took out a business card and placed it on the table. The name on the card was enough to create a moment of silence. “Savior Group? Remy, is this card real?” Crystal whispered, pointing at the paper she was reluctant to touch. While the quietest man probed, Kara cleared her throat. “You

    Finnic furrowed his brows deeper. Touching his mother's arm, he whispered, "Mom, stop." "What? Did I say something wrong? Isn't that her nature? She likes to steal other people's partners. Therefore, Sophia, be careful! Don't let this girl get close to Finnic, understand? She must be jealous of you. She wants to steal your happiness." The woman in the simple white dress did not move. She was already quite uncomfortable with Kara's presence. Now, with the warnings from Melissa, she became more anxious. “Sorry, Miss Martin. I want a peaceful party, without any fuss. If you really support our marriage, can you—” “You are too kind, Sophia. She doesn't deserve to be treated that politely. Why don't you just throw her out?" Melissa interrupted. “Why do you insist on throwing me out, Mrs. Miller? My partner and I are guests." Melissa snorted. Her gaze narrowed again. “You are truly shameless. You still want to play innocent? Get your feet off this deck right now. Finnic has found a woma

    After a moment's pause, the figure in the video continued, “I received payment from a girl. She asked me to put two kinds of liquids in her friends' drinks.” People who knew about this incident immediately looked at Jenny. The girl had turned pale, not breathing or moving at all. Only her eyes were turning to and fro, studying the situation. “Yes, that girl is from Miller's marketing team. I remember very well, she said she wanted to teach her arrogant friend a lesson. I think she's jealous of Kara Martin. She said she wanted to see her fall because she was more worthy of being in that position. Could it be about the position in their office? I don't understand either." A second later, the video stopped. All eyes were waiting for Frank's response. The man smiled slightly. “Do you think this video is made up? Want me to call that bartender right away?” Sophia sighed in disbelief. She didn't expect the party to turn into an interrogation room. However, she couldn't possibly stop it.

    "Mom, that's enough," Finnic intervened. He didn't realize that Sophia was glancing at him with a stiff expression. “This is their business, Fin. We should not interfere,” Sophia mumbled. “That's right,” Frank replied unexpectedly. “This is our business. The party shouldn't be interrupted by this kind of furor. For that, Kara and I apologize to the Moore family, the Miller family, and everyone affected by this conflict." Isabela's eyes widened. She didn't think that he would just back off like that. Since when was Frank Harper willing to put things off? “You think you can just run away from this issue, Hubby? Or have you realized that you have betrayed me? Then, admit in front of everyone that you purposely knocked me out so you could be with her!” “What else do I need to confess, Isabel? Everything is clear. I prefer Kara and our children. Please leave us alone and go back to whoever man can give you the spotlight.” Isabel grimaced. Her finger pointed at Kara. “You cheap girl! A

    Hearing that, Sophia could no longer remain silent. She was sick of the commotion at her event. "Security, take this woman back to her room! If she refuses, send her home!"Two officers rushed to drag Isabela. The girl struggled, but in vain. When she was no longer on the deck, all attention returned to Kara. Even Sophia was looking at her closely.“Miss Martin, I am sorry to hear what you have experienced. You have gone through difficult times alone. I think it's only right that Mr. Harper returns to you and his children. "You two deserve to be together," Sophia said before secretly glancing at her future husband.“Thank you, Miss Moore. You are really kind. Finnic is very lucky to have a wife like you.” Kara smiled sincerely.Unexpectedly, Melissa snorted. Sophia heard the insult.“And I hope you don't hold a grudge against Mrs. Miller. What she has done cannot be justified, but I hope you could see the bright side. She just loves Finnic too much and looks at you wrong.”The curve o

    Philip rushed in and grabbed Barbara's hand. Before he could say anything, Barbara was pushing again. After Briony came out, Barbara breathed a sigh of relief. “Philip .... Our child has been born.”Even though his head was nodding, Philip blinked in confusion. His mouth was agape, not knowing how to respond. "Yes ...," he sighed after a few moments. Briony's cries helped him regain his senses. "Wow," Philip blinked. He bent down, stroking his wife's hair with mixed feelings. "You're so great, Babe. You can give birth that fast." Barbara smiled proudly. "Our efforts weren't in vain, Phil. I was actually scared earlier. Briony's urge was very strong. But Louis and Emily forbade me to push. I tried to hold it in until finally, I gave in." Philip sighed in amazement and disbelief. Still looking stiff, he kissed Barbara's temple. "You're amazing, Babe. I'm glad you didn't encounter any major difficulties." Philip wiped the tears from her face. "I'm happy too. But where were you? I to

    "Louis, Auntie is about to give birth!" Emily rose with a high arch of her eyebrows. "You’re right! We have to take her to the hospital!" Wasting no time, Louis grabbed Barbara's hand, pulling her to turn around. "Come on, Auntie. Let's go back to the car." However, Barbara shook her head. Her face was pale, her body tense. Her feet seemed to be glued to the earth. "What's wrong, Auntie?" "Call Philip," she muttered softly. "What?" "Call Philip!" The twins flinched. After one nod, they ran towards Philip. "Uncle Philip! Uncle Philip!" "Hey, where are you guys going?" Barbara exclaimed again. The twins braked. When they looked back, Barbara was waving. "Why did you leave me here alone?" Her voice was shrill. "You told us to call Uncle Philip!" Louis shook his head, not understanding. "Yeah, but don't leave me here." While limping, she inched closer to Louis and Emily. "One person calls him. One more person, hold me!" The twins blinked. Not because they didn't understand, b

    "Hello, Orion," Emily whispered as the tiny baby in the box opened his eyes. Her hand reached out, trying to reach his chubby cheek. From the other side of the box, Louis also looked inside. "Hello, Oscar." "Louis?" Emily scolded with round eyes. "Why do you call him Oscar? This is our first meeting with him. Don't make a bad impression." Louis pursed his lips. "Okay, sorry. I'm used to it. Let me repeat." After clearing his throat, he looked down again. "Hello, Orion. It's me, Louis. I'm your cousin." Emily smiled slightly and nodded. "That's just right." After giving Louis thumbs up, she waved her hand downwards. "And I'm Emily. Nice to meet you, Orion." For a few moments, the two toddlers were busy observing Orion. Philip and Barbara were amused by their comments. "It turns out that Uncle Philip was right. Orion looks like both of his parents. His eyes are like Auntie's, while his nose and mouth are like Uncle's." "His chin also looks like Uncle’s, but his hair looks like

    A nurse tried to calm Ava. However, the woman still shook her head, rejecting all the words directed at her. She was very weak. The pain seemed to knock out all the bones in her body. Her brain could no longer function normally. "No. I have no strength anymore. I can't continue." After taking a heavy breath, Jeremy bowed. The nurse had shifted. Jeremy had more freedom to stroke Ava's hair which was wet with sweat and her face which was flooded with tears. "Ava, can you hear me? Ava?" Their gazes finally met. Jeremy could see the desperation in those brown eyes. "I can't take it anymore, Jeremy. I can't. Let the doctor take it out. I can't take it anymore." Jeremy's chest felt like it had been torn apart. He almost choked with pain. Stroking Ava's shoulder, he shook his head. "No, I know you. You're not someone who never gives up, Ava. You can do it." "But I don't have the energy anymore, Jeremy." "There is. There definitely is." Jeremy grabbed Ava's shaking fingers. "This is f

    "Look at this, Brandon." Louis placed a stack of photo paper on the table. Then, he showed them one by one to his friend. "This is a picture of Russell crying. This is a picture of him laughing. And this is a picture of Russell being angry." "Can babies get angry? Isn't he still too young to understand anything?" Brandon shook his head faintly. Louis shrugged. "I don't know about that. But when Russell sees something he doesn't like, his hands keep flapping and his mouth makes sounds ...." Louis imitated a baby's moan which made the librarian glance. "Russell also has sharp eyes, Brandon. If he feels annoyed by us, he will glare while furrowing his eyebrows." Emily touched the base of her eyebrows, checking to see if they were the same shape as Russell's eyebrows in the picture. Brandon smiled at Emily's expression. "I think he must be really cute when he's angry." "Yes!" Emily nodded quickly. "He's always cute, all the time. Louis, show him a picture of Russell in the shower."

    "Oh, look at Russell, Louis. Isn't he very handsome? He's clean and smells good." Emily put her nose closer to Russell's face. When she managed to kiss that very soft cheek, she giggled holding back her laughter. She didn't want to disturb Kara who was sleeping in Frank's arms. "Yes, he is very handsome. He looks like me. Isn't that right, Grandma?" Louis raised his gaze towards the woman holding Russell. Susan smiled amusedly. "Yes, he looks like you. Only his nose is a little sharper." Louis' lips immediately pursed. His forefinger pointed at his own nose. "How sharp do you want Russell's nose to be? My nose is already very sharp." Susan chuckled at Louis' answer. "I’m just joking, Louis. It doesn't matter whose nose is sharper. What's important is that you're both healthy." Louis nodded in agreement. His hands then rose to touch the baby's feet. "Grandma, is Russell heavy?" Susan raised her eyebrows. "Do you want to carry him?" Louis glanced at Emily. "How about you try fir

    "Hello, Good Boy," Kara held Russell carefully, as if the little creature was a very fragile pearl. Tears could not stop running down her face. After kissing the baby who was covered in a towel, Kara whispered again, "This is Mommy, Russell. I'm happy that I can finally hug you like this." While biting his lips, Frank also bowed. He stroked the tiny back then kissed his head. "And this is Daddy, Russell. Daddy is also happy that you are finally here." Still with a wide smile and red eyes, Frank looked at Kara gently. Before the pool of emotion dripped again, he quickly kissed her forehead. Kara closed her eyes accepting the warmth. "Thank you for giving birth to our son, Queen Bee," Frank whispered hoarsely. Kara smiled wider and nodded faintly. "Thank you for accompanying me here." "That's what I should have done a long time ago." Frank stroked her cheek before kissing her again.

    Kara was sitting on the bed. Her head rested on the broad shoulder next to her. Closing her eyes, she tried to catch her breath."Is there any news from the Twins?" she asked quietly. Frank shook his head. His hands kept to massage Kara's fingers. "You don't need to worry about them, Queen Bee. They are independent and intelligent children. They will understand that you have to give birth soon. Let's celebrate their birthday after Russell is born, hmm?" After a short nod, Kara turned her head further. "Are you crying?" Frank's eyebrows pulled together. Moving his head away so that it would be easier to see her, he shook his head. "Why do you think I'm crying?" "Your voice is shaky, Frank." Pursing his lips, Frank took a deep breath. "I'm not crying." "Then why are your eyes red and watery?" Frank blinked firmly. "I'm not crying," he repeated with more emphasis. Still out of breath, Kara let out a laugh. Her head tilted slightly, waiting for his tears to fall. "Are you sure?"

I hope you live a long and healthy life," the blonde boy said, occasionally glancing at Emily. "Thank you, Brandon. Did you come alone?" Brandon nodded. "Yes, my parents had to attend another event. So, only the driver took me here." After one blink, Brandon offered his hand to Emily. "Happy birthday too, Emily. You're so beautiful tonight." Emily shook Brandon's hand with a sweet smile. "Thanks, Brandon. You also look cool tonight. The jacket suits you." Brandon blushed. His lips twitched to suppress the excitement in his chest. "Thank you, Emily. I deliberately asked my mother to look for the best outfit. I want to look cool at this event." "Your mom has a good sense of fashion," Emily nodded before glancing to the side.
