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
This time, Mitchell was more cautious. "Are you sure the Synder family didn't come to Zanteles with a purpose? That they won't harm our country in any way?"Everyone was united for the country except for Emilia.Emilia was uncertain about Mitchell's concerts. But for now, having Adrian at her disposal was good enough.If it weren't for her, Adrian would be stuck in a tough position in Zanteles."Don't worry, Dad." Boldly, she gave Mitchell a sure answer. "Don't you trust me? There's no way I would bring him back if I wasn't confident."The incident with the Watsons was the best evidence of her capabilities. Mitchell gradually loosened up. "Even so, you still need to be careful. I don't think he's trustworthy."Emilia naturally knew that. "Rest assured. I've already put the small building he's living in under strict surveillance. He can't do anything that can harm Zanteles there.""Remember, there's no room for negotiation when it comes to the nation's affairs," Mitchell warned.
"Romelius! Mandy! Come out now!" Priscilla shouted. "Come and see, everyone! This is how the so-called affluent families treat their elders. They wouldn't even let me in despite being their grandmother. They even left me standing outside for so long."She took a deep breath before continuing, "Mandy, you're the one who encouraged him to treat me like this. It serves you right to be terminally ill."Do you think you're completely cured now? Let me tell you, with a heart as ruthless as yours, it'll relapse sooner or later. Sooner or later, you'll be awaiting death."Even now, Priscilla still had the guts to bring up Mandy's battle with leukemia.Lana's expression became increasingly unpleasant as she listened to her malicious curses.Priscilla was cursing the person she loved the most. The person Lana had risked her life to save was being insulted so maliciously by that old lady.She couldn't bear it anymore."She's not done yet?" Lana said as she moved toward the door.Worried
The attitudes of onlookers toward Romelius began to change due to Priscilla's claims."He looked elegant on the outside, but who knew he would be so cunning? He doesn't even care about his grandmother. "He claims to be a great scientist. I suppose he's so great that he's even planning to abandon his family. I've misjudged him."I heard they're siblings. Well, you know …"As they furthered the discussions, even Romelius and Mandy's past were brought up. At this point, everyone was looking at them with judgmental eyes.Priscilla took advantage of the situation. "What's this? Did I hit the nail on the head? You're going to distance yourself from me for this woman."You're even planning to abandon me and escape abroad. I bet you won't return even if I die, right?"With that, Priscilla suddenly sat on the ground and began to sob loudly. She completely lacked the dignity that was expected of a noble elderly lady. Mandy had enough of Prisiclla's unreasonable behavior. "Until when ar
After Priscilla left, the family of three thanked their neighbors.After all, those who could live in this neighborhood were influential people in Dawsbury City. They had gone easy on them today.When the family returned to their house, they looked exhausted.They couldn't understand why Priscilla was still so narrow-minded at her age. She couldn't bear seeing her grandchildren living peacefully."Lana, Mandy, I'm sorry about today. I'll go and teach her a lesson tonight."Mandy sneered. "You want to teach her a lesson?"It was obvious that Mandy knew Romelius very well.No matter what unjust or harmful things Priscilla had done, Romelius would only have nothing but respect for her.It was wishful thinking that he would avenge Mandy and Lana."Mandy, I—""Dad, stop talking!" Not only did Mandy not believe in his words, but even Lana told him to stop. "It's been a mess since this morning. Can't we just be in peace?"Romelius was rendered speechless. It seemed that he was usel
Upon hearing that, Marion spoke up. It was the first time she had spoken since stepping into the presidential palace that day."Dev, Romelius, let's go. I've already asked someone to move our parents' memorial to our villa."Upon hearing that, Devon and Romelius were shocked."What?" Devon's expression was complicated. It was a mixture of joy and reluctance. "Is this true?"Marion nodded. "I knew that this would happen someday."While saying that, she slowly turned to look at Priscilla. "It's better to take matters into our own hands than to allow others to control us. I've always been scared that this would happen. "The two of you have great potential. I don't want you guys to be manipulated by such ignorant people for your entire life."Ever since Marion gave birth, she knew that loving her child meant letting him have his freedom. She wasn't like Priscilla, who would rather sacrifice her children's future just to control them."How dare you touch my son and my daughter-in
Priscilla turned and refused to look at Devon."Good. Very good!" She could not stop repeating those words. Her hunchbacked figure looked pitiful yet detestable.Over the years, she had been living a comfortable life by relying on her grandson, who was a president. This caused her to forget about her past and where she came from.Now that Devon suddenly sent her back, the people in her hometown would definitely make fun of her.Devon didn't look at Priscilla. Instead, he turned and left hand-in-hand with Marion.…Devon was unusually quiet on the way home. He didn't say a single word on the way back to the villa.Out of the three children in the Quinn family, Marion knew Devon respected Priscilla the most. Thus, Devon would feel the most miserable as he was forced to send Priscilla back to her hometown.However, he had no choice. Nobody would want to send a 90-year-old elderly away. Priscilla had brought it upon herself.After coaxing their child to sleep, Marion and Devon ret
