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
After Priscilla was sent back to her hometown, she could no longer stir up any trouble.This was the most worthwhile thing Lana could do for Romelius, Devon, and Mandy.Priscilla had controlled them for almost all of their lives. It caused them to have a lot of regrets in their lives.However, Priscilla was still their grandmother, not to mention she had raised them. Thus, there was no way they could do anything to disrespect Priscilla.However, Lana was different from them.Lana had a deep-seated hatred for Priscilla. Thus, no one was more suitable to deal with Priscilla than her.…There were many people in the airport. Devon and Marion wore a hat and a mask to send Romelius and his family off.As this was Devon's personal schedule, he didn't want to catch anyone's attention today."Lana, this is for you!" Devon couldn't wait to give a paper bag to Lana when they were at the airport.While speculating that the bag contained something light, she took over the bag.When she
"When people found out that I was going to be a single mother, they would advise me not to be rash and think it through before deciding," Lana said. "But you're different from them. You not only accepted it and even planned to help me."Marion maintained a gentle smile on her face. She looked much gentler ever since she became a mother. "What's so weird about that? I trust you. I'm sure you've already got yourself prepared when you made the decision. Thus, all I can do is to support you."Lana never thought Marion would trust her so much. She would be lying if she said she wasn't touched. However, she wondered why Marion was doing this.Perhaps Marion was repaying Lana for saving her life."Don't think too much into it. I'm not repaying you for saving my life. I'm just looking at it from an elder's perspective." Marion appeared saddened after saying that. "Perhaps I might not even qualify as an elder in your eyes. However, I already considered us family for a long time."While
Adrian smirked triumphantly, carrying the weight of his successful deception as he turned, instantly adopting an innocent facade."Ms. Cooper, I won't press you further. I understand this situation is difficult for you and could damage your reputation."If this matter wasn't handled discreetly, it would indeed damage Emilia's standing. After all, attempting to drug a man before marriage was a scandal that would have haunted her for a lifetime had it been exposed.However, driven by the ambition to become Balany's royalty and fulfill her dreams of wealth and glory, Emilia had long lost her rationality."That's not your concern." Emilia forced composure, her expression appearing indifferent. "As long as you don't forget what you promised me, you won't be mistreated."With that, Emilia walked away with an air of arrogance, clutching the items Adrian had given her. "Ha!" Adrian sneered, watching her retreating figure. "This was a classic case of being taken advantage of without even
Everyone fell silent as they observed Liam's sudden change in demeanor.Perhaps Liam loved Lana, but he had chosen the wrong approach, leading to the rupture of their relationship.It seemed that Liam still harbored feelings for Lana.Amid the hushed atmosphere, John couldn't resist commenting.If Liam couldn't hold onto someone as remarkable as Lana, it was his fault. Why should everyone accommodate him?John decided to rub salt in Liam's wounds, saying, "Great-Grandma, do you think Lana, being so outstanding, will return from her trip abroad with a mixed-race baby?"Violet's eyebrows twitched, wondering if John was deliberately stirring up trouble today.Liam's mood had already been far from good recently, so why add insult to injury?Seeming oblivious to Violet's hints, John continued, "Lana is so beautiful. I bet she's quite popular overseas too."Violet didn't want him to continue, fearing it would affect Liam's emotions. She pretended to check a nonexistent watch on he
