When Lana received John's call, she was busy working at the perfume store.

Before each quarterly product launch, Lana would go to the store to conduct research, figuring out customers' preferences. This way, she could ensure the popularity of the products.

"What?" Lana said in surprise.

"That's not necessary. I almost forgot about it myself. You don't have to go through the trouble just to celebrate for me."

John said something on the phone, and Lana eventually smiled and agreed to his invitation.

When Lana showed up at the Lewis Residence, John and Darla weren't the only people welcoming her. Unexpectedly, Mandy was there as well.

After exchanging greetings with the Lewises, Lana approached Mandy and took her hand.

"Dy! How come you're here too?" Lana exclaimed with a sense of inexplicable affection.

Then, Lana and Mandy walked ahead, hand in ha

"You're really wasting your looks and body."Mandy understood what she meant and wasn't bothered by it. "What? Are you jealous?"Darla quipped, "If I really cared, it wouldn't matter to that person, right?"Mandy's mood sank to a new low when she thought of that man.Because of that man, she lived a life of wealth and comfort in her early years. It was also because of him that her later years, despite being filled with glory, were marred with loneliness and hardship.Seeing Mandy's discomfort, Darla realized she had misspoken.

    In fact, Lana was deeply saddened by Liam's behavior. However, she was determined to make things clear. "Could you spare some time for a stranger like me, Mr. Liam? I have something to talk to you about." Liam turned and headed back to the elevator, stating, "I'm not interested." As the elevator doors closed, it was as if Liam and Lana were now in two different worlds. Liam's aloof expression had already made everything clear. They no longer had any relationship.Lincoln thought that when Liam returned to the elevator, he would return to his office. However, Liam didn't have that intention. He casually stopped on a random floor and smoked quietly in the stairwell. It had been a long time since Liam had smoked, and the fact that he started again in such an unpolished manner genuinely took Lincoln by surprise.Holding a briefcase in his hand, Lincoln stood straight beside him. After a prolonged pause, he asked, "Sir, why didn't you tell Ms. Clark the truth? You offended t

She was dressed in an elegant light pink dress and looked charming. "Waiter, could you please bring me another glass of water?" Sherry asked. "Well … Miss, you've already had ten glasses of water. I'm afraid you might need to use the restroom frequently later," the waiter reminded her.Sherry seemed visibly surprised, not realizing she had drank so much water. She gestured to the waiter and said, "Thank you for the reminder. I've changed my mind about that glass of water."After the waiter left, her fidgeting continued. One moment, she'd check her makeup in a little mirror. And the next, she'd adjust the neckline of her dress to ensure it wasn't too revealing. After all, she was meeting none other than Liam Kane, someone who was known for his cunning and ruthless nature.It was said that the Kane famil

    While Liam was still lost in thought, Lana used her finger to gently lift his chin. "What are you staring at? Aren't you coming home with me?" After saying that, Lana didn't even bother to see Liam's response. She simply turned and walked away. Lana felt that if she didn't leave soon, the situation might get rather awkward.Liam didn't hesitate this time. He smirked and let out a low whistle. Then, he swiftly followed Lana out of the restaurant. The two of them walked out of the restaurant one after the other.

Even Leonardo was taken away just to give the two people who had been apart for a long time some space to be alone.After everyone had left, Liam straightened out his clothes and approached Lana, then proceeded to slowly crouch down."Lana!"In the man's deep and sexy voice, there was an unusual tremor and a hint of choked emotion.Liam had no idea what kept him going during these years after losing Lana.Liam didn't dare to do anything too bold.

    Liam's outstretched hand awkwardly hung in the air, and eventually, he could only withdraw it."Speak up if you have something to say, or else, stay quiet. We're not in the mood to listen to you." Hector's attitude toward Liam was still unfavorable, to the extent that he didn't even want to see him.Lana suddenly said, "Something very serious actually happened today."Following that, she placed Leonardo down and showed everyone the wound on his neck.A ring of red marks surrounded Leonardo's delicate neck. In some places, the marks were so swollen that it looked like a tire had been wrapped around his neck. It was a shocking sight to behold.Hector, Violet, Mandy, and Romelius were immediately enraged."What happened to Leo?""What happened to his neck? It could have been fatal if it was any worse.""Who was responsible for watching Leo today?

"However, even after my death, I'll haunt you for the rest of your life!"As they listened to her absurd threat, Lana and the Traffic Light Trio burst into laughter."If ghosts were real, then Emilia would be the first to look for you."When her deceased sister was mentioned, Cynthia's smile remained unchanged. "That fool probably never knew it was me who betrayed her until her death."Considering the situation, Cynthia didn't believe she could leave the Garrison Villa tonight."What exactly do you gain by single-handedly destroying the Cooper family?"Lana was still very confused by Cynthia's actions.After all, Emilia and Cynthia were twins and had the same blood coursing through their veins.

    On the evening of the banquet, the Garrison Villa was bustling with distinguished guests.Initially, everyone's attention was on the precious great-grandson of the Garrison and Kane family. With his confident and lively demeanor, the chubby child was absolutely adorable. Everyone was naturally curious about who the child might have chosen as his stepmother.It should be noted that the Garrison and Kane family only had one great-grandson. His future was destined to be extraordinary. As long as one could control the child, it was much more worthwhile than dealing with those individuals from the two affluent families.After all, the elders from the two families were very attentive and doting toward this child.

Did you miss Mommy? Mommy missed you so much!"Lana ran toward Leonardo, talking to him while reaching out to hug him. In a flash, Leonardo suddenly ran toward Romelius while holding a toy car.After that, he kept hiding in his arms, refusing to come out. He would occasionally peek out from the gaps to glance at Lana.His actions clearly showed that he refused to accept Lana.Lana's enthusiasm was dampened, and her outstretched arms awkwardly remained in midair. She looked at Romelius and then at Mandy as if waiting for them to persuade Leonardo. However, these two remained silent and only greeted Lana in a casual manner."Oh, Lana, you've come?"

    Liam sensed a challenging undertone in Lana's stare. After all this time, had they truly become adversaries?Releasing Lana abruptly, Violet gently patted her arm, her eyes filled with profound hurt."You're here, alive and well. Why did you leave us in the shadows? Even if you chose not to contact anyone else, you should've considered reaching out to me. Do you have any idea how much I missed you?"Over the years, Violet had been grappling with a deep sense of loss.Though it remained an unspoken sentiment among them, Violet was aware of the underlying blame directed toward Liam for what was believed to be Lana's demise.Had Liam been more emotionally available, their relationship wouldn't have crumbled.

"Leo, you should be calling me 'Mommy'!" she gently corrected him.Leonardo hesitated momentarily before redirecting his attention to Liam.Even though Liam hadn't exchanged a single word with Lana, he spoke up when Leo glanced his way, firmly stating, "Feel free to do as you wish. There's no need to seek my approval.
