"What's going on with this woman? Why is everyone acting like they're under a spell, rushing to give her things?"

"I don't think she even knows this man. Otherwise, her expression wouldn't be the same as ours!"

"Regardless, I envy her. Isn't she winning in life?"

Amid the astonished gazes of the crowd, the man in the black and white checkered suit brought the bracelets to Lana.

"Miss Lana, don't be nervous," he said gently. "Mr. Liam had ordered me to do this. He said that tonight, no matter what, he must win this bracelet and give it to you!"

"Liam?" Lana's heart finally found some peace. After receiving the bracelets, she muttered softly, "How did he know I liked these things?"

Mandy smiled and said, "I'm glad I didn't continue to compete with Liam. Otherwise, he would probably despise me now."

Mandy knew that Lana liked the bracelets. She felt a bit sad earlier, thinking she couldn't win the bracelets for her.

Mandy never thought that Liam would be so generous to secure the

    To be fair, Romelius' actions made sense. Mandy had declined his gift to preserve her acting career. So, he was meant to give this aquamarine necklace to someone else. Instead of giving it to a stranger, he would rather give it to someone he liked.He chose to give the aquamarine necklace to Lana because he felt a strong connection with her. Romelius found it more comfortable and relaxing to be around Lana than Rosa, his own daughter. That was why he had liked Lana since they first met. In his view, friends deserved gifts, regardless of the cost.Romelius's gesture left Lana so stunned that she was at a loss for words."Romelius, are you being serious? Everyone's watching. If you're serious, wink at me."In response, Romelius playfully winked at her and said, "Lana, please accept it. Save me from this embarrassment. I'm begging you."Romelius had made it plain and clear for Lana. Thus, she had no other option but to accept the aquamarine necklace.Upon witnessing this, Rosa l

    Lana kept refusing, so Liam had no choice but to hold her and sleep, refraining her from doing anything. After all, he was the one who wanted to spoil her.Both of them were exhausted, and they accidentally overslept. The next day, Lana was awakened by the incessant ringing of the doorbell.Liam was still sleeping and seemed not to hear it. Lana, still fighting off sleep, went to open the door."Cherry, are you sure Lana lives here?"As Lana approached the door, she could hear Violet's nervous voice and the somewhat impatient Cherry. "I already told you she's staying here. She's probably not home right now."Cherry didn't like Lana to begin with, and now Violet dragged her to Dawsbury to see Lana. Her mood was far from good."Poor child, how can she live in a place like this?" Violet sounded full of pity. "No, I need to call the butler right away and have him buy a large villa for her. I have to find a better place for Lana to live."The conversation at the door sent shivers dow

    "Lana's out there on her own with such a busy job, and Lee can't be expected to do anything. Surely she'll need someone to look out for her, right?"Lana teared up at Violet's words.She was so fortunate to be cherished by Violet. Lana felt a kind of affection she had never experienced before from Violet."Thank you, Grandma!" She hugged Violet tightly. "You've been so good to me."Violet hugged her back, feeling a pang in her heart. "It hurts my heart to see you all alone.""Alright, that's enough!" Cherry had enough with their mushy display of affection. "Just state the purpose of your visit, Grandma. We need to hurry back."Cherry never liked Lana in the first place. Worried about Violet coming alone, she had no choice but to follow along.Little did she know she would be involved in unnecessary trouble.Worried about being chastised by Liam, all Cherry wanted to do was to get away from this troublesome place.Lana looked at Violet upon hearing Cherry's words.

    "Your relationship was wrong in the first place," Lana said straightforwardly.Romelius smiled wryly. "You have quite a strong sense of morality.""Of course. I'm a law-abiding citizen!""Could you listen to the whole story?" He tried to reach an agreement with her."Fine, go ahead." With Lana's permission, Romelius continued, "At that time, our days were quite thrilling. We continued pretending to be siblings at home, but we could love each other without restraint outside. Unfortunately, the good times didn't last.""People found out about your relationship?" she guessed."Yes. Back then, my parents were still alive. Despite being firmly against it, they didn't forcibly break us up."Instead, they had planned to disown Mandy. They even intended to send her to Nodrus, a small, war-torn country," he said.Lana sighed. Romelius' parents were ruthless.No matter what, Mandy was still a child they had raised since young. Even if she made a mistake, it didn't justify sending her

    Rosa tilted her head. She found Joyce's behavior to be unusual."What are you talking about, Mom?" She rested her head on Joyce's shoulder. "Shouldn't the Quinn family's assets belong to Uncle Devon and Dad?" she asked.Since when did it belong to Joyce?Joyce turned and hugged Rosa. "Don't question anything, Rosa. Just remember. Even if everyone in this world abandons you, I'll never do that. You'll always be my good child."Rosa was confused as Joyce held her. She was acting really strange today.Thinking that Joyce was unwell, Rosa was about to tell her to see the doctor. But then, Joyce spoke up again, "Alright, it's getting late. We need to attend the church service. Great-Grandma's still waiting for us!"Again?Rosa rolled her eyes in annoyance."I don't want to go, Mom. It's fine if Great-Grandma reads the Bible and prays every day. But why are you doing the same? "You visit the chapel every day to recite the scriptures, and you even bring me along.

    Joyce immediately stopped Romelius. "Can you stop mentioning it? Marion will be upset again if she hears it.""I didn't say it in front of her. Besides, it's been so long. You're too much.""No matter how much time has passed, a miscarriage is always a deep emotional scar for a woman. It's better not to bring it up casually," she said.There was some truth in her words. A thought flashed across Romelius' as he said excitedly, "I've recently met a highly skilled alternative medicine practitioner."I want to introduce her to Marion. Who knows, maybe she could still get pregnant after the treatment."Romelius became more excited as he continued. He wanted to find Marion immediately. "Marion's still young. With proper treatment, there might still be hope. I'll go right away.""Stop right there!" Joyce stood in his way. "Where do you think you're going at this hour?""I want to find Marion and give her the practitioner's contact so she can pay her a visit. Maybe there's still a glimm

    "All the misfortune in my life were caused by the Quinns. If I could, I wish I wasn't a Quinn," Mandy said.She wanted to repay them for bringing her up. If not for that, she would've changed her name a long time ago."What happened back then was far from what Romelius said. He went abroad and left me and the child here. I was driven out from the Quinn family …"Something didn't feel right to Lana as she heard Mandy's words. However, she let her continue without pointing it out."I was penniless.

    "Grandma, I know you're excited about having a great-grandchild, but let me try to make it happen first, okay? Babies don't just magically appear out of thin air, you know?" Liam remarked.Violet's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this."Lee, what do you mean? Haven't you and Lana sealed the deal yet?"Liam fell silent.His expression spoke volumes, leaving Violet with no room for misunderstanding."Wait, seriously? I thought you and Lana were on board with this," Violet exclaimed. "How did you manage to leave her place without things getting, you know, intimate?"As the topic arose, Liam's face flushed with embarrassment and guilt."Isn't that all thanks to you and Cherry pulling the surprise visit stunt that day?" he retorted.Otherwise, Liam might have had the chance to take things further with Lana.It turned out that Violet had unintentionally complicated the situation.

    Would Lana forgive him and spend the rest of her life with him?Liam's heart was filled with a sense of anticipation.Since the reason for the incident had been clarified, everyone let out a sigh of relief at the same time and also went back to rest. 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. Instead, he gently leaned his handsome face against Lana's hand, repeatedly calling her name.Three years had already passed since Lana left in a fit of anger, setting off a series of events afterward.If she still had any resentment, it would have vanished when she saw Liam's tall figu

    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? How could they be so negligent and let the child get injured so badly?""This doesn't look like any ordinary wound. It looks like it wa

    "Stop looking at me like that. If you want to kill or torture me, go ahead." Cynthia knew what would happen to her after the truth came out, so she gave up struggling. "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. With all the Coopers gone, Cynthia had nothing to gain from it either!Cynthia sneered at Lana's question. "Lana, yo

    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. Surprisingly, Liam, who was said to have been away from home for a long time, had returned. During the reception of guests, he unexpectedly had a smile on his face.The ladies who had come tonight, vying for the position of Liam's wife, became even more excited.Liam typi

    On the night before the banquet, Romelius and Mandy finally brought Leonardo back.Lana was overjoyed, and she immediately went to the bungalow where they were staying.At that time, Leonardo had just returned home and was playing with toys on the living room floor."Leo, you're back! 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?" Mandy said while presenting her with a basket o

    Due to the fact that the Garrison family was going to hold a banquet to introduce the mother of their beloved great-grandson, Leonardo, the Garrisons once again became the talk of the town in Dawsbury.The last time Dawsbury was so lively was when Hector introduced the Garrison family's heir to everyone.As soon as the news was released, the Garrisons became noticeably busier in the following days. All of them were busy scurrying around and helping Hector deliver the invitations.In addition to people who had business dealings with the Garrison family, the invitations were naturally sent to people who were familiar with Lana in the past. Therefore, as soon as the Traffic Light Trio received the invitation, they didn't even go to work and immediately ran to Liam's office—intending to get an explanation from him.At that time, Liam had just finished a phone call from overseas and was deep in thought when the office door was suddenly kicked open.Lincoln stood at the door, looking

    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. It would've stopped Lana from seeking refuge overseas while carrying their child, an act that set the stage for her heartbreaking destiny.Witnessing Liam's anguish and believing Lana to be lost forever had taken a severe toll on Violet's health, aging her considerably."Gr

    Liam guided Leo to Lana's room.As they entered, Lana was already awake, bathed in the serene morning light streaming through the window.Upon hearing their arrival, Lana, while brushing her hair, shifted her gaze toward them—a familiar scene echoing times gone by."Good morning, Liam and Leo!" she greeted them effortlessly.Without hesitation, Leonardo squirmed out of Liam's embrace and darted toward Lana, exclaiming, "Hi, Nana!"Lana paused, momentarily surprised by Leonardo's nickname. "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.
