After everyone left, Nadia was left all by herself. For a moment, she was at a loss for what to do as she stared at the spacious room. Eventually, she decided to make a video call to Lana. When Lana answered, Nadia showed Lana how much Danny cherished her through the video call. "Nadia, you're making me jealous! When will I ever get to have such a big room?" Nadia rolled her eyes. "Stop pulling my leg. With your wealth and assets, you can have almost anything you want!" Lana retorted, "How is that the same? You got the room as a gift, while I would have to get it on my own." Nadia knew Lana was only saying that to make her happy. The love and affection Lana received from Romelius and Mandy were not any less than what Nadia had received from the Watson family. Still, Nadia was pleased after hearing Lana's words. Ever since Vesper's passing, Nadia's life had changed completely. She had lived in fear because of Zeke and Sarah. It went on for so long that Nadia almost forgo
Usually, Danny would quickly try to calm Emilia down whenever she got upset. However, he didn't do that today. Instead, Danny remained in his seat with a pensive look in his eyes. It was as if he did not hear what Emilia just said. Danny didn't try to console Emilia even though she sounded extremely sad and disappointed. Alex grinned. "What are you getting so worked up for? I never said that you were behind it. Or was it really your doing?" Emilia thought her heart might jump out of her chest. She could not help but wonder if Alex had found some sort of evidence. Otherwise, why would he sound so confident? "Alex, that's just baseless accusations!" Alex found the anxious look on Emilia's face rather amusing. Still, he had decided to act cautiously before he could secure solid proof to remove Emilia once and for all. "It's fine if you have nothing to do with it. What are you yelling at me for, then?" Alex smiled mischievously. Emilia was supposed to be the one who was w
No matter what type of living environment she had grown up in, Howard thought that Danny's long-lost granddaughter would be inferior to Emilia in terms of her appearance, educational background, and temperament. Still, Howard decided to offer the lady his greeting for the sake of formality. He did not want to appear discourteous in front of the Watsons. In fact, Howard was supposed to be Deedee's fiancé. He was in a rather awkward position since he had chosen to be with Emilia. Howard might leave the Watsons with a bad impression if he were to show any signs of disregard for Deedee. While Howard was preoccupied with those thoughts, he did not notice the contemptuous smile on Emilia's face. Howard thought he had Emilia in the palm of his hand. But Emilia would never let him push her around. She was going to make him suffer unimaginable pain and regret soon.With her hand around Howard's arm, Emilia led Howard to the third floor of the Watson Residence. The ladies from vario
Emilia was lost in thought for the rest of the evening. Gripped by malicious intent, she was considering different ways to get rid of Nadia for good. Therefore, she didn't notice when the Watsons and Nadia slowly approached her table after greeting the other guests. "Emilia, what's wrong?" Danny came over to Emilia and asked anxiously, "You look so pale, and you're sweating so much. Are you sick?" Emilia snapped out of her reverie. She wiped the sweat off her forehead. "Grandpa, I've been feeling a bit dizzy since this afternoon. I think I've probably caught a cold." "You should hurry and get some rest if you're not feeling well. I can handle things here." Emilia couldn't wait to leave. She was not interested in staying and watching how close and joyful the Watsons were. The only reason she stayed for so long was to make sure no one would start any strange rumors about her. Upon hearing Danny's words, Emilia got to her feet. "In that case, I'll get some rest in my room then
Stunned, Nadia wavered on the brink of a scream before she could even make out a clear image of her assailant.Suddenly, a cold voice, laden with resentment, resonated in her ears."If you feel the urge to scream, be my guest. Let everyone witness the distinguished Ms. Watson engaging in intimate activities in the bathroom."It was Howard!Nadia's tears of humiliation cascaded down her cheeks, her attempts to cry out stifled as Howard covered her mouth, amplifying her helplessness.As Howard aggressively groped her, Nadia winced in pain, tears streaming down her face. She couldn't fathom what had gone wrong, why Howard persistently inflicted such pain on her.Their relationship had long dissipated, yet Howard continued to harm her. What had she done to incur his repeated cruelty?Howard moved with frantic passion, showering fervent kisses upon Nadia's body.Despite being acutely aware that his actions defied both the law and morality, he couldn't suppress the yearning for the u
In response, Ruth issued a command, "Bring Emilia down!"Concerned for his beloved granddaughter, Danny acted promptly, instructing someone to rouse the already sleeping Emilia.Before Emilia appeared, Wade and Ruth had already brought Nadia before Danny.As Danny beheld his beloved granddaughter with red, teary eyes and disheveled marks, a pang of concern gripped his heart. A daring suspicion lingered, but lacking confirmation from the involved party, Danny hesitated to acknowledge it.Shortly afterward, Emilia descended.On this particular day, she genuinely felt unwell. The recent stressful events had taken a toll on her, causing her to become sick when she rarely fell ill. After taking medication and returning to sleep, she was abruptly awakened by the maid.Despite the early hour, the guests had already left. In the expansive living room, only Wade, Ruth, Danny, and Nadia remained, with no trace of Alex."Why did everyone leave?" Normally, the Watson family dinners exte
Battered and bruised, Howard maintained a defiant gaze toward Nadia, seemingly oblivious to any wrongdoing.The mere thought of his daughter being mistreated ignited a fury in Wade, prompting him to rush forward, seizing Howard by the collar and delivering two punches to his face."You scoundrel! How dare you harm my daughter? I assure you, you will come to regret this.""Throughout this entire charade, you've cloaked yourself in an air of mystery. You deceived my father and thought you could wrest control of our family. It appears your understanding of boundaries is quite lacking."While Wade's words seemed aimed at Howard, it was clear he was also addressing Emilia.Wade was known for his calm demeanor. He had never shown physical aggression before, but today marked the first time he took matters into his own hands, all for the sake of his daughter."Mr. Watson, please calm down!" The police officers attempted to intervene. "We understand your frustration, but he is still a sus
The compassion in Alex's gaze was unmistakable, yet Nadia met it with a self-assured smile."Alex, there's no need for pity. I don't deserve it."Despite being aware of Nadia's troubled history, Alex opted not to share the specifics with his parents. He feared that, like him, they would be overcome with sorrow."You do deserve it!"Alex didn't adhere to outdated beliefs. In cases of sexual assault against girls, he avoided attributing blame to provocative dressing or late-night activities.He recognized that perpetrators could find various ways to carry out their misdeeds, and he considered holding victims accountable to be a flawed mindset.Nadia's expression remained stoic. Even if her secret were exposed, she wondered, what difference would it make?After all, it was a chapter of her life she had come to terms with."So, you're aware of everything?"Alex affirmed with a nod. "Howard brought it up earlier."Nadia couldn't help but respond with a sneer. It appeared that Howa
