This marked the first time Rosa had experienced public humiliation in front of a crowd.

She was on the verge of tears, but Lana showed no signs of relenting.

As Lana had declared, today was all about teaching Rosa a lesson in respecting boundaries.

Lana's lips curved into a mischievous grin, her unwavering gaze fixed on Rosa. "Huh? What did you say? I didn't quite catch that. Speak louder!"

Rosa wanted to walk away, but in reality, she found herself without any alternative. She was undeniably branded as the "loser", and there seemed to be no escape from this harsh label.

Amidst the surprised and mocking glances from the others, Rosa reluctantly summoned her courage. She called out to Lana, exclaiming, "Queen Lana!"

Lana's face broke into a contented smile. "Now, that's more like it!"

At that very moment, someone in the crowd had a sudden recollection and exclaimed, "Hey, Rosa had a Math Olympiad at the President's banquet, right?"

"Yeah, I heard she lost to someone!"

    "Grandma, it's my responsibility. I feel like I've fallen short as a mother. I'll talk to Rosa right away," Joyce uttered.Priscilla sighed disapprovingly and added, "You know you could've done better, right? Remember, if you can't handle it, someone else will."Joyce nodded, her humility evident. "I understand, Grandma. I promise to make amends."Priscilla, with her trademark blend of criticism and kindness, remarked, "I was just offering some advice. There's no need to get all worked up. By the way, didn't Rosa want to talk with you?"Joyce left the chapel, visibly upset, and made her way home."Rosa, could you please come out here for a moment?" Joyce exclaimed from outside Rosa's room.Startled, Rosa, who was holding a bag of potato chips, opened the door. She asked, "Mom, why are you shouting like that? You scared me, you know?"Looking stern, Joyce led Rosa into her room."I've told you this before, haven't I?" Joyce asserted with a serious tone. "When your great-grandma

    Joyce was completely taken aback by Rosa's disrespectful words. She never expected her to say that. Acting on impulse, she covered Rosa's mouth and said, "What on earth are you talking about? How can you say something like that?"However, Rosa seemed unfazed. She managed to break free from Joyce's grasp and replied indifferently, "Why is it so hard to believe? I am Uncle Devon's niece, aren't I?"And hasn't Uncle Devon been childless all this time? Everything he has will eventually be mine."Joyce suddenly realized that her parenting might have fallen short. Rosa's behavior was likely a result of being overly pampered."But even if that's the case," Joyce advised, trying to guide Rosa, "you can't just say that. What if someone with bad intentions overhears? How would you handle that?"Rosa, however, remained indifferent. "If they hear it, whatever. I like watching people get all riled up and not being able to do a thing about it."Indeed, this child was spiraling out of control

    Lincoln's sudden interruption made Liam lose interest instantly. He quickly straightened his clothes and reverted to his usual demeanor—the cold and aloof CEO he always projected.Lana shook her head in disapproval.Who would have imagined that the typically aloof and domineering CEO could display such eagerness and passion, just like any ordinary person in love?"Why are you looking at me like that?" Liam noticed Lana's gaze and approached her. He wrapped his arms around her from behind. "Do you want to continue?" he asked, a mischievous glint in his eyes.Lana pushed him away firmly. “You wish. My dignity was completely ruined by you just now.”Liam chuckled but remained silent, staying close to her."Oh, Liam, can't you stop clinging to me?"Liam stubbornly rested his head on her shoulder. "No, besides you, who else can I cling to?"An involuntary shiver ran down Lana's spine at his words.When this domineering CEO got affectionate, it was more overwhelming than dealing w

    Lana and Liam left the restaurant together, but Liam suddenly stopped and turned to look at the restaurant's entrance. Liam had always been calm, but just a moment ago, Lana detected a trace of wariness in his gaze."What's wrong?" she asked. Liam shook his head. He turned and led her forward. "It's nothing."Lana assumed he just saw an acquaintance and didn't give it a second thought. Liam was still a bit wary, but he hoped he was just being paranoid.Emilia waited until Liam and Lana were out of sight before finally stepping out of the restaurant. Unknowingly, she had broken out in a cold sweat.Although she couldn't make out their faces clearly, the gaze of the man beside Lana was too piercing.

    The next morning, Lana called Liam. Her voice sounded somewhat listless.Liam couldn't help but knowingly ask, "What's the matter?"Lana lamented, "Oh, Liam, I'm so upset! I finally got to spend time with my idols, and it was suddenly cut short! Their movie was supposed to start filming later, but it was suddenly moved ahead of schedule."I can't believe this is happening to me. I feel like fate has it out for me."Liam cheekily responded, "It's almost as if the universe is 'plotting' against you."Lana, on the other end of the phone, sobbed, "You're right. I might be the most miserable fan in the world. Just before I got to savor the moment, I suddenly lost both of them!"Liam, with a hint of arrogance, offered, "Since they can't accompany you anymore, do you want me to fly over and accompany you for a few days?"Lana immediately declined his offer, "It's alright. I've already had my fair share of fun. Also, I've already booked an afternoon flight, and I'll be back in Dawsbury

He put his chin on her shoulder and kissed her on the cheek."Watching movies again?" Chris looked at Carol with a warm gaze. "How many times have you watched this movie? Why do you keep watching it?" he asked. Carol leaned into his embrace. She spoke in a gentle and soothing tone, "Classics are worth savoring."Chris suddenly reached into her clothes and smirked.

    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?

    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.

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

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.

"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.
