Romelius reacted quickly and caught Mandy's body. The distress in his eyes didn't diminish in the slightest."Is the father Liam? If so, I'll head there right now and kill him!"Romelius had always been well-mannered. Even Mandy had never seen him so furious.For the sake of his beloved daughter, Romelius was even willing to act so violently.Moreover, the person he wanted to kill was actually Liam, a man who instilled fear in many.It was clear that Romelius held a deep affection for Lana.Seeing that Lana remained silent for quite some time, Romelius turned and went into the kitchen. When he came out, he had a gleaming kitchen knife in his hand.Without saying a word, he went straight to the door.Mandy was so frightened that she disregarded her still-weak body and chased after him. "What are you planning to do? Don't act so impulsively!""You should just take care of Lana!" Romelius said without even looking back. "Fortunately, I've already given all my assets to Lana. In t
Since Lana had decided to keep the baby, Romelius and Mandy had no choice but to take it seriously as well.That very afternoon, Romelius went to Lana's apartment with a real estate agent. He wanted to sell the apartment at a lower price.During Lana's pregnancy, he would take care of her.As for the child she would have in the future, they would definitely take care of it. Therefore, this apartment would no longer be of any use to Lana.Romelius decided to do this for the sake of his daughter's peace of mind during the pregnancy. It would also allow her to stay comfortably with them in the future.Besides, he had already consulted with Lana before making this decision. After all, the apartment was filled with countless memories between her and Liam.Since she had decided to cut off all ties with Liam, she would never return to that apartment.…The next morning, Mandy contacted the top-notch private maternity hospital in Dawsbury. She, along with Romelius, accompanied Lana the
After settling in, Lana decided to visit Marcel.After all, Marcel cared about her more than anyone else. Lana felt it was necessary to let Marcel know that she had decided to keep the child.When Lana arrived at Marcel's house, he was in his usual dress shirt and pants, with a straw hat on his head, busy tending to the medicinal garden in the yard.This sight immediately took Lana back to the past.When she was young, Marcel was just like this. He would always busy himself in his medicinal garden whenever he had the time."Why are you still standing around? Why don't you find a place to sit?" Marcel suddenly yelled while Lana was reminiscing about the past. In the past, Lana had never received such treatment from him. And Marcel would never directly care about their well-being.However, now that Marcel knew she was pregnant, he probably didn't want her to overexert herself.Lana felt a wave of warmth wash over her. She walked to the porch and sat down, watching Marcel busy hi
Seeing that Lana and Marcel didn't speak and were looking at him with an unwelcoming gaze, Adrian smiled sheepishly.He then sat down next to them, holding a basket of peaches. "Fancy some peaches?" he asked. Lana and Marcel both shook their heads, still silent.Adrian smiled ruefully and asked, "Am I not welcome here?"Although Marcel seemed aloof on the surface, he was truly soft-hearted. He might be sharp-tongued, but he usually meant well.Adrian thought that as long as he acted cute and silly, Marcel would soften his heart and forgive him for his past misdeeds.However, this time, Adrian was wrong.Upon hearing him say that, Marcel unexpectedly said, "If you know you're not welcome here, why did you still show up?"Adrian was rendered speechless.Before he could explain himself, Lana added, "We're not worthy of your presence. Unless it's absolutely necessary, it's best if you don't come here."Adrian's smile turned rigid as he stared blankly at Lana and Marcel. It was a
Moments later, Adrian burst into a mocking laugh. "I never thought you'd be willing to sink so low. I tried to help you, but you wouldn't even entertain my offer. Now, you're even trying to teach me a lesson? Lana, you're really a lost cause."Lana's eyes were filled with determination. "I'm willing to lay down my life for my country.""You're just a small fry," Adrian said bluntly. "Even if I were to do something to your country, you wouldn't stand a chance.""You're welcome to try," Lana said, unfazed by Adrian's unmasked self.She continued, "I believe in Zantelians. Even if I cannot resist Balany alone, there are still countless others with me. Adrian, your schemes will fail, and you will be remembered as a disgrace."Adrian burst into laughter again. "If we're not on the same page, then there's no point in talking anymore. Lana, I'll be waiting for you to come groveling."With that, he put down the basket of peaches and turned to leave."Hold on!" Lana called out to him.
"Sir, do you suspect that …"Even though Lincoln didn't say it, Liam knew what he was thinking. After all, they had known each other for so many years."I suspect that Cynthia is connected to the Cooper family. And she has the closest tie to Emilia.""But we've already investigated last time," Lincoln said. "All the records from the hospital show that Mitchell's wife only gave birth to Emilia."As soon as Cynthia appeared, Liam had Lincoln investigate her. But the results weren't what he had hoped for."Have you ever considered that the photo may be more reliable than the evidence that we have gathered?" Liam asked. "Maybe what we've found in our investigation is just what the Coopers want us to believe?""It's not entirely impossible!"Lincoln was aware that the secret of Emilia's twin sister could be kept hidden until now was all due to the Coopers' meticulous arrangement back then.These were also the familiar methods that everyone would take.If they didn't want anyone to
Emilia immediately came to her senses after Cynthia's reminder.If Liam hadn't made thorough preparations, how would he have dared to schedule a meeting with them at the same time?However, when she thought about how she had prepared for so long and how it all fell apart in front of Liam, Emilia felt a little resentful. She was determined to find out when Liam had started to suspect them!As she thought about this, Emilia and Cynthia arrived at the seats Liam had reserved, one after the other.Liam was already waiting for them on the other side."It's been a while, Mr. Liam."As soon as they saw each other, Cynthia took the initiative to greet Liam.Liam nodded slightly in response.Emilia arrived shortly after, and she looked coldly at Liam and Cynthia. "Mr. Liam, it seems you have a prior engagement with someone. I'll just leave you two alone then."Was she trying to gauge his reaction?Liam immediately chuckled and said, "Since we're already here, why are you still prete
Lincoln watched as Cynthia drove away. Before Liam got into the car, he was already throwing up.Lincoln was both worried and distressed as he handed Liam a bottle of water."Mr. Liam, why are you doing this?"After Liam finished vomiting, a bitter smile appeared on his face. "Yeah, what am I doing all this for?"After all these years, he had plenty of resourceful methods. But today, he resorted to using his charm."It's almost as we expected. That girl named Cynthia is indeed Emilia's sister."After returning to the car, Liam shared the evening's findings with Lincoln. The two began to analyze the connection between Emilia and Cynthia. They wondered why the Coopers arranged for the sisters to be strangers despite both being outstanding."Mr. Liam, I think the Coopers did this to attract the attention of the Watson family."How could the Coopers send Emilia over to the Watson family if they didn't notice her beauty?Liam still found Lincoln's explanation unconvincing."Ev
