"Mr. Howard, you must be someone very important to Nadia since she introduced me to you on our first date."

Jeff noticed Howard had remained silent without eating anything. He wanted to leave a good impression on Nadia's family and friends, so Jeff tried to initiate a conversation with Howard.

Nadia did not expect Jeff would take the initiative first. She looked at Howard nervously and waited for his response.

For a moment, Howard was at a loss for words since he did not expect Jeff to speak to him first as well.

While Nadia thought Howard would just ignore Jeff, she heard Howard's voice at that moment.

"I'm a doctor. Nadia was one of my patients."

Jeff was very considerate as he did not try to pry about Nadia's illness. Instead, he replied chirpily, "So, you're a doctor, Mr. Howard? That's amazing! One of my childhood dreams was to become a doctor."

"I see."

Even Jeff who was a chatty and easygoing person felt a little flustered upon hearing Howard's curt reply.

    Not long after Hector left, Liam received Emilia's call. "Liam, you must be feeling quite troubled today because of all the talks about our meeting yesterday."Emilia sounded very calm and sincere on the phone. Liam could not detect any hint of pretentiousness in her voice. "I was a bit careless this time. Since a lot of people in Dawsbury know me, I should have paid more attention to things like this when meeting you. I'm sorry, Liam. This was all my fault." Liam was not expecting to receive such an earnest apology from Emilia. "It's alright. It's not your fault that this has happened." Emilia gave a soft chuckle. "I'll try to clarify things to the others. I hope you won't feel too intimidated to have another meal with me." "Things like these don't bother me." "Well, I'll hang up now. Let's meet and talk some other time." Emilia got straight to the point and ended the call very soon. This was something that Liam quite liked about the lady in particular. In a way, Em

    Three days later, the Quinn family began to make arrangements for Priscilla's funeral."Mom, why hasn't Uncle announced the obituary even after so many days?" Rosa inquired.In families like the Quinns, it was customary to promptly announce the passing of their elders, allowing acquaintances to come and pay their last respects.However, even after waiting for three days, there was no sign of any action from Devon. This raised Rosa's suspicions considerably.Joyce pondered for a moment before replying, "Well, your uncle is the president, a public figure. He probably doesn't want the family's private matters to affect his reputation."After all, the president's family affairs always drew attention, giving the impression that they were seeking publicity.Devon needed to handle this discreetly. Joyce's explanation was so convincing that Rosa accepted it without a shadow of a doubt.Fortunately, the extended Quinns' family members soon arrived to mourn Priscilla, dispelling Rosa's

    It was the midst of summer, a season notorious for its unexpected thunderstorms.The sudden clap of thunder sent shivers down the spines of everyone in the Quinns' household, especially given Priscilla's recent demise.Many felt that this thunderstorm was more than just a coincidence—it held an eerie significance.Outside, the wind howled, and rain poured down heavily. Seizing the opportunity to emphasize her point, Joyce declared, "You see, even the heavens can't bear to watch anymore.""Indeed, sometimes you must acknowledge the influence of supernatural forces," added another voice in agreement.Another person chimed in, "If that young lady had been out on the street just now, she might have been struck by lightning. Fortunately, the Quinns provided her shelter from the storm."Reluctantly, Lana had to admit that superstitions, at times, held a peculiar power.Amidst the thunderstorm, Joyce's words seemed to echo, convincing the ignorant bystanders that divine retribution was

    "Old hag, I wasn't afraid of you when you were alive, and I'm certainly not afraid of you now that you're dead," Rosa sneered.Her face contorted with rage as she lunged at Priscilla once more, raising her hand to strangle her."You haven't seen the last of this. I'll make sure you suffer."If I could bring you down once, I can certainly do it again," Rosa hissed, her grip tightening around Priscilla's throat, causing the older woman to struggle desperately. She was on the brink of losing consciousness.At that critical moment, two tall figures suddenly descended from upstairs.Devon quickly kicked Rosa away, while the other person supported Priscilla, who was on the verge of collapsing."Grandma, are you okay?" Devon asked, his eyes filled with genuine concern.Struggling to rise from the floor, Rosa stared in shock at the person who had kicked her. "Dad, is it really you?"Romelius, who had always treated Rosa with utmost care, had unexpectedly lashed out.However, Romelius

    Seeing Devon's unwavering stance, Joyce felt compelled to play the part of a sorrowful woman."Romelius, you can't just treat me like this," Joyce implored, her voice quivering as she knelt on the ground, tears streaming down her face."Remember that major accident of yours? I was the one who tirelessly cared for you, day and night."Even if you no longer see us as a married couple, please have some compassion for Rosa this time. After all, I saved your life."While Joyce poured her heart out, the others in the room seemed unfazed. However, Priscilla suddenly erupted in disbelief."What? Romelius had a major accident before? Why wasn't I ever told?" she exclaimed.Romelius shot her a cold stare. "If you hadn't sent me overseas, I probably wouldn't have gotten into this mess."Somehow, I managed to come back alive. Maybe it's thanks to my parents who've long been gone. Without their protection, I doubt I'd ever have made it back to Zanteles."Priscilla was left speechless.From

    In an instant, Rosa seized a paring knife from the coffee table and swiftly advanced toward Bentley, the blade poised dangerously close to his throat.The room erupted into panicked screams as people instinctively shielded their eyes from the impending horror.Just when it seemed a tragedy was inevitable, Lana, her long legs moving with swift precision, kicked Rosa, sending her sprawling to the floor.Watching Rosa sobbing uncontrollably, Lana's tone turned stern. "Even if you refuse to accept him as your biological father, he was willing to go to extreme lengths for you."If you can't appreciate his kindness, that's your choice. But how could you hurt him like this?""Why bother talking to her? She's capable of anything, even hurting Madam Priscilla. There's nothing she wouldn't do," someone else chimed in."Lana, just finish her off. Don't leave any room for escape," another urged.Lana's expression remained stoic, akin to a commuter engrossed in their phone on a subway ride.

    "Why am I not allowed to speak my mind? Have you ever raised me, even for a day?" Lana questioned."If Rosa hadn't disappointed you, you probably wouldn't even acknowledge my existence, would you? I was merely born, and my mother never even got to see me before you sent me away for adoption."Can there be any semblance of a family bond between us? If there is, it must be a figment of my imagination."Let me tell you, I will never return to the Quinn family in this lifetime. There's only enmity between us and no affection whatsoever."After Lana's assertive remarks, Mandy and Romelius couldn't help but admire her audacity.However, Priscilla's face turned pale with anger. They dared not utter a word, fearing they might further enrage her."How ... how can you speak to your great-grandmother like this?" Priscilla stammered, attempting to regain control of the situation.Reasoning with Lana proved futile, so Priscilla resorted to feigning weakness, a tactic that had worked wonders

    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.

    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

"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.
