In a dimly lit small space inside the chapel, smoke billows. It was eerie and terrifying, reminiscent of hell. Priscilla knelt on the mat, praying with her expensive rosary. It was a daily ritual she had followed for years. Joyce knelt silently beside her and began to recite along.After finishing the prayer, Priscilla, with Joyce's support, stood up. Then, they both sat in the chapel's small lounge. "Joyce, why didn't Rosa come today?"Normally, Rosa is very punctual and arrives at the chapel at this time every day. But today, Priscilla didn't see her. Thus, she started looking for Rosa.When Priscilla brought up Rosa, Joyce's tears welled up and fell like raindrops, landing on the gray floor tiles. Priscilla felt sympathy for her. She became worried and asked, "Joyce, what's wrong? Why are you crying all of a sudden?""Grandma!" Joyce said with a hint of sadness, resting on Priscilla. "I won't be able to be by your side for much longer. My relationship with Romelius has e
In the interrogation room, Rosa still refused to cooperate with the investigation.She was seated in the suspect's chair, her arms tightly crossed. Her eyes reflected both contempt and disgust. "I advise you to stop the interrogation. It would be in your best interest to release me now, or you'll definitely come to regret it. "You all are just a bunch of small fry. And you all think you can challenge me? I suggest you save your words."Do you even know who I am? I am the president's beloved niece! The future of the Quinn family lies in my hands. Should you ever cross paths with me in the future, I will show no mercy!"For over 24 hours, Rosa had been in custody. Her demeanor remained haughty and arrogant as she blatantly disregarded legal protocols. She also repeatedly invoked her familial connection to the president to assert her authority.The police officers wanted to interrogate her, but she remained uncooperative. At the slightest provocation, she would unleash a stream
A throng of people surrounded Mandy's private room in the hospital. Various distressful screams emanated from the inside. "Ms. Mandy, could you please come down? We can talk about these issues.""That's right, Ms. Mandy. It's quite chilly outside. You should quickly come down. Exposing yourself to the cold is not advisable, especially considering your current state of health."Mandy's attending physician and nurses were all trying to persuade her.Romelius quickly pushed his way through the crowd. The scene before him nearly made him faint.Mandy was sitting unsteadily on the window ledge of her room that lacked shielding, dressed in a thin hospital gown.The wind was so forceful that it felt as though it could sweep her off the ledge at any given moment.This was the 23rd floor. If Mandy were to fall, she would likely be killed instantly."Mandy, why are you sitting there? Come down quickly."Upon hearing Romelius' voice, Mandy's distant gaze shifted away from the outside wo
As soon as Lana walked in, she saw Mandy being tightly held by Romelius. Her legs suddenly gave way, and she slid to the floor.She was still gasping for breath. Her temples were drenched in sweat. She sighed in relief and said, "I … I'm so glad I made it in time!""Lana …" Mandy's heart raced as she finally saw her. She was so overwhelmed with emotions that she could barely speak. She quickly left Romelius' embrace, crawled over to Lana, and hugged her tightly.Lana didn't speak either. She hugged Mandy tightly with all her might.Romelius, belatedly realizing what had happened, quickly crawled over and tightly embraced the mother-daughter duo.At that moment, the family of three were finally reunited.After the initial burst of excitement, Lana was the first to regain her composure."Mom, Dad, now that we're finally reunited, we must stick together to brave through this challenging period."Mandy and Romelius were momentarily stunned. They didn't expect Lana to be so direct.
Rosa was caught in a rather precarious situation.On the one hand, Devon and Marion were about to have their own child. On the other hand, Romelius had an illegitimate daughter, Lana, who was vying for the Quinn family inheritance. Rosa was overwhelmed by the situation."Mom, is all of this true?"Rosa tossed the phone aside and gazed at Joyce with a desolate expression. "Ever since I met Lana, I hadn't had a single good thing happen to me!"Could Lana be the harbinger of misfortune?Rosa was deeply entrenched in self-doubt.Meanwhile, Joyce felt the same way as well.Ever since their family of three returned to Zanteles, Romelius somehow managed to reconnect with Mandy. From then on, everything seemed to have gone astray—constantly developing in a direction she didn't want it to.Joyce sighed as she pulled Rosa to sit down next to her. "Rosa, you have to fix your attitude. You're no longer the sole heir of the Quinn family."You can't be as willful as you used to anymore. O
Rosa believed that someone as outstanding as Liam should not be with a woman as wicked as Lana. Someone like him should have been with someone as exceptional as herself.Rosa decided to help Liam see the truth and cut his losses before things worsen."Liam, how can you speak to me like that?" Rosa said, as her eyes welled up with tears.She gazed at Liam in a pitiful manner. "Do you even know who I am?"Liam looked at her indifferently. "Does your identity have anything to do with me?"Rosa was infuriated to the point of fainting. She bellowed, "I am the president's beloved niece!"Rosa just wanted to help Liam see the truth. However, having spent so much time with Lana, Liam's words had become increasingly blunt. "So what? I don't care about you at all!"Rosa felt like she had been slapped in the face. She was so angry that she was shaking."Fine, even if you don't know who I am, then do you know who she is?"Liam lowered his head to look at Lana, his lips curling into a sedu
With Devon's interruption, Lana finally halted her action.Joyce ran frantically toward Devon as if her life depended on it. Then, Devon quickly instructed someone to bring a pair of scissors and began cutting open the sutures around her lips.Joyce screamed in agony. It was the most terrifying scene she had witnessed in her entire life. As soon as her mouth was free from the sutures, she clung to Devon and Priscilla. Joyce exclaimed, "Grandma, Devon, you must seek justice for me! You can't just let them do this to me! "These people are so brazen. They even had the audacity to behave like this at the presidential palace!"Joyce was determined to make Lana and Liam pay for what they had done.Before Devon could react, Liam had already shielded Lana behind him. He said, "Mr. President, you should understand the saying, 'Do unto others as you would have them do unto you,' right? This woman was the one who started it. Do you really not know what this woman has done?"Devon under
Devon promptly picked up the documents on the floor and began to look through them.After he was done going through them, he gave Joyce a kick.Devon gritted his teeth and said, "So it was you all along? The death of our unborn first child was not an accident but a deliberate scheme of yours! Those car accidents we experienced were also your doing. What have we done to you to deserve all these?"After Devon spoke, he lifted his foot to kick Joyce again. Joyce couldn't help but close her eyes in fear.Devon was usually quite gentle and refined. He rarely had conflict with anyone. But now, he resorted to violence, which showed how unscrupulous Joyce's actions were."Uncle Devon, what are you doing?" Rosa ran downstairs and hurriedly shielded Joyce.She immediately cried out, "Why are you hitting my mother? What has she done wrong?"Devon withdrew his foot, his heart filled with despair. Devon replied, "Rosa, I have reasons for doing this. How about you go upstairs for now? This
