After repeatedly comforting Ruth, Alex continued the interrogation.

"Why did you only harm the daughter of the Watson family then?" Alex asked.

Saul sneered, "I needed money, but I don't kill innocent people. I negotiated conditions with them."

"So you can kill an innocent child just for money?" Ruth couldn't hold back and rushed forward, punching and kicking Saul.

Worried she might end up ruining things for them, Alex signaled for his people to take Ruth away while he continued questioning Saul.

"And what happened in the end? What did you do after setting the fire?" Alex asked further.

Sighing, Saul said, "After the fire, I couldn't bring myself to do it, so I sent the child away."

Seizing the crucial information, Alex asked, "Where did you send the child?"

"To Gilsbury!"

Alex was elated to hear that. "Where in Gilsbury?"

    Violet adjusted her reading glasses and looked at him. Immersed in thought, she asked, "Who is Jaden Rein to you?"Howard politely replied, "He's my grandfather."Violet immediately smiled at him. "So, you're Jaden's grandson. No wonder you resemble him so much."It was common knowledge that Violet originally hailed from Dawsbury City and settled in Gilsbury after marrying Charles Kane. Therefore, it wasn't surprising that she knew Howard's grandparents.However, it was strange that Howard managed to establish connections with the Watson family even though the Rein family's fortune declined after Jaden's era."My grandfather often mentioned your past achievements to me. He said your marksmanship was top-notch, and many boys were no match for you back then. Even my grandfather often sighed as he said that after you, there were no more girls as carefree as you.""Really?" Violet didn't expect that she would still be talked about in Dawsbury. "Did he say that about me?""Yes, befor

Despite Ruth's indifference, she still tried to greet the rest of the Watsons. "Alex!

It wasn't possible.Despite being left behind, Emilia remained resolute. Chewing on her lips, she caught up with them."Dad, let's go back together after this. Grandpa said he wants to see Howard, so let's go home together."In Emilia's mind, aside from Hector, Wade was the kindest person to her in the famil

What had gotten into him tonight to make him behave so out of character?Howard seemed to know what Alex was angry about. He snubbed his cigarette and said, "Leave us, Mom."But Jade didn't dare leave them alone. It was obvious the two men had something to settle based on how upset Alex was.

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.

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?

"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

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.
