It was night. Lights shone brightly at the gate of Sims Residence. Many people and luxury cars lined up to get in.

Lana was shocked by the sight. She had thought George meant a simple dinner and not a party. She didn't prepare much because she thought it would be a simple dinner.

She had been all around the place the whole day. Her coat was wrinkled, and she didn't even have makeup on.

Lana had hurried over to the Sims Residence with a birthday cake.

George wouldn't say anything even if she wore simple clothes, but what about the others? Would they think she was being disrespectful to him?

Lana hesitated at the gate. She was planning to go home and freshen herself up before coming back.

A gentle voice came from behind as they were at an impasse. "So you were here, Ms. Clark. I've been looking for you."Eric walked toward them with a glass of wine in his hand and an affectionate expression on his face. Naturally, Jennifer thought Eric was addressing her. She went up to him and tried to wrap her hands around his arm. "Eric, I've been here the whole time," Jennifer said. But unexpectedly, Eric took a step back and evaded her touch. "Please have some self-respect, Ms. Clark. I was looking for Ms. Lana."Jennifer's face paled, and she was shaken. She looked at Eric in disbelief. Eric ignored Jennifer and approached Lana. He said in a playful tone, "Are you okay? I

    Lana looked at George intently. "Grandpa Sims, I have enough money. I really don't need more," she pleaded. George was already 82 years old, so his uncle was certainly much older than him.Those who didn't know might even think she was looking for an ancestor instead of a husband. If this got out, others might think that Lana was with George's uncle for his money.George seemed oblivious to her desperation. He replied, "Don't worry. My uncle is also very wealthy. He's much wealthier than my family."Worried that Lana might not agree, George added, "His wealth is thousands, maybe even tens of thousands, times greater than the Wheelers."In fact, Lana was getting ready to make her escape.Right then, Mark suddenly entered.

    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.

Did you miss Mommy? Mommy missed you so much!"Lana ran toward Leonardo, talking to him while reaching out to hug him.

    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.
