"Why is it unfair?" Danny's bias against Alex seemed deeply ingrained. "If he could shoulder the responsibility, I wouldn't have handed over the Watson family to someone else."Nadia sighed. It seemed she couldn't have a proper conversation with Danny.Since her return to the Watson family, Danny had shown apparent affection. But behind her back, he still treated her as an outsider. The factor contributing to his affection was probably her resemblance to his late wife. Otherwise, she might not have received even that much."Grandpa, it seems you've never given Alex a chance. How can he showcase his abilities if you never let him?"Danny countered, "What he's done is simply unacceptable."Nadia raised her voice, "Knowing Emilia's cunning ways, do you think Alex would be able to survive until now if he didn't put on a playful attitude?"Danny suddenly fell silent.To be honest, he had only seen the brilliance in Emilia and overlooked Alex. For a while, Danny couldn't find the wo
Lana remained silent.Nadia thought she had agreed with what she said, so she continued, "If you don't want this child, you need to fix this as soon as possible. The longer you wait, the more harm it will do to your body."Only then did Lana react. "Nadia, I've already decided. I will keep this child."Nadia was heartbroken.However, Lana comforted her, "Don't worry. Since I've decided to keep this child, I've made thorough preparations. Even if it doesn't have a father, I will love it well."Nadia, still clouded with worry, received a comforting hug from Lana. "Don't worry," Lana continued. "My mom was also alone when she gave birth to me. At that time, she faced quite a challenge, but she never gave up, did she?"Nadia tightly held Lana's hand. "I really hope this isn't true. But since you've made your decision, I'll support you. In the future, I will treat the child as my own."After learning about Lana's pregnancy, Nadia returned to the Watsons' current residence with Lana
This is the first time Lana and Liam met after they parted ways at the Snyder family's castle. It was also the first time Lana met Liam after learning about her pregnancy.Knowing how Liam treated her previously, Lana decided to bring the general manager of the smartphone processor company along this time. With an additional person, Liam wouldn't dare to do anything to her.Of course, meeting an ex-boyfriend required Lana to dress up properly to give off a stunning impression. If she appeared sloppy, Liam might think Lana wasn't doing well after leaving him.After carefully preparing herself, Lana went to the agreed-upon location with Liam, a classic Cansernian restaurant chosen by Lincoln. She was accompanied by Tyrone Elrod, the general manager of the smartphone processor company.Having spent quite some time with Liam, Lana naturally knew his likes and dislikes. She arrived at the entrance of the private room Lincoln reserved. Even before entering, she heard a woman's laughter
Was he looking for trouble again?Lana remained silent and put down her fork. "Mr. Liam, actually, I've already eaten before coming. I really can't eat now."Tyrone was stunned. Lana was really good at lying.They had been in a meeting since the afternoon. They were so busy that they couldn't even drink a sip of water. When did Lana last eat something?Rumors were circulating outside that Lana and Liam had broken up, and now it seemed true.Upon hearing this, Liam put down his fork and looked disapprovingly at Lana, "Why do I feel that Ms. Clark isn't cooperating well today? Don't you want to do business with us?"Others couldn't even get Liam to do business, and here Lana was challenging him, making even Cynthia annoyed. "Ms. Clark, it's an honor for Mr. Liam to have a meal with you," she said. "How can you not show respect?"Cynthia thought she was somewhat special to be by Liam's side, so she dared to stand up and reprimand Lana. There are some things Liam couldn't say as a
"Who are you? Do you think you have a place to speak here?"Earlier, Tyrone was mocking Cynthia for acting out of her place, but now he didn't expect the same to happen to him.Even though Liam was angry, Tyrone had to brace himself and defend Lana, no matter how afraid he was."Mr. Liam, any man who sees a woman being bullied by another man wouldn't sit still and let it happen."Liam was speechless.This little bastard! Was he saying that he was bullying Lana? When did he see him bullying Lana? Liam was the one who got hit!But Liam wouldn't admit that he was hit in front of someone like Tyrone."Look closely. I did not lay a finger on her."Tyrone was still suspicious. "But you were walking toward Ms. Clark, were you not?"Tyrone was usually timid, but when it came to dire situations, he proved himself to be quite useful.Lana's impression of Tyrone changed today.It seemed that when she went overseas to take care of her baby, she could trust the company was in good hands
After Lana left, Liam stared intensely at the staff, giving her a suffocating feeling as if some wild beast was targeting her. Her lips even began to tremble in fear."What did she say to you earlier? Is it really as she said?" Liam's intentions were unclear to the staff, but to avoid trouble, she decided to answer Liam according to Lana's words. Liam obviously didn't believe her, but since Lana had said so, persisting would make him seem overbearing and unreasonable. In the end, he could only leave disappointed."Weird!" The staff was annoyed by the two as she muttered, "They clearly know each other, but they insist on denying it. Why would they be so nervous if they don't know each other?"Other employees gathered around, chatting when there were no customers. "You mean the ones from earlier?" one asked.The employee who attended to Lana replied, "Exactly! When that girl came in, she told me she was three months pregnant. But when the guy came in, she denied it. Isn't it obviou
No sooner said than done, Romelius brought along his family's ID. With the help of acquaintances, he obtained visas for his family to go to a remote country that very night.As the family prepared to move to a distant land for Lana to have a peaceful delivery, Liam found himself sleepless that night. The image of Lana caressing her stomach at the baby pool's entrance was etched into his mind. It replayed over and over again in front of him.Unable to sleep, Liam decided to get up as he sat alone in the yard. In the past, Lana would accompany him every time he couldn't sleep. They would sit in the yard as they gazed at the stars together. Even now, he was still gazing at the stars. But the person who used to watch them with him was nowhere to be found. "It's late. Why are you sitting here instead of sleeping?"A voice resonated behind Liam before he could dwell on his sorrows. He quickly got up to help Violet. "You're right, but you're not sleeping, either."Violet sat d
"Thank you, Ms. Cooper. I won't forget your kindness," Adrina said.He had initially planned to sell the castle he had built painstakingly before Emilia's appearance in order to lay low in Zanteles.However, Balany's intentions toward Zanteles had already been discovered. At this critical time, who would dare to risk their lives to buy his castle?Naturally, the castle remained in his hands.In the past few days, Adrian had tried to approach the elite families who had previously flattered him in an attempt to secure their help.He definitely wouldn't let their efforts go to waste once the matter had been accomplished.However, Adrian never expected those unreliable delinquents to come to their senses so quickly when it came to national matters.He was repeatedly driven away by them.In the end, with no way out, he decided to seek out Marcel.In his heart, Marcel had always been his strongest shield. He was Adrian's last resolve in Zanteles.After all, Marcel was the one who r
