Everyone was amazed to see Mitchell appear in good condition.Danny seemed to sense something and suddenly shifted his gaze to Alex.Alex naturally felt the probing look from the old man, but he didn't even glance back. Instead, he focused on refilling Nadia's popcorn.Could it be that he had misunderstood him all along?Danny suddenly felt something he had never felt before. He couldn't shake the sense that Mitchell's presence here was somehow related to Alex.Thanks to Nadia, Danny had only found out about this matter earlier in the elevator. During this time, although it seemed like Emilia had taken over the Watson family, it was still under Alex's control.Upon hearing this, Danny suddenly felt proud. Only then did he realize that Alex was much more outstanding than Wade, even more so than when he was at his age. However, he couldn't understand why he hadn't noticed Alex's excellence before.As Danny thought about it, Mitchell's caretaker had already wheeled him to Emilia'
The conference room was silent. Everyone was fuming with anger as they cast furious and hateful glares at Emilia, wishing to rip her apart on the spot.Seeing this, Emilia took advantage of the moment before anyone could react and rushed toward the door."Stop!"The two police officers with years of experience were quick to sense something amiss and immediately stepped forward to block Emilia.With no way out, Emilia quickly reached the nearest window at the conference room entrance and opened it."Stay back! If you come any closer, I'll jump."The people present calmly watched Emilia's antics. No one had the intention to approach and persuade her to come down. Only the two police officers, facing the pressure, tried to persuade her."Come down, Ms. Cooper. The charges of murdering Mitchell and others haven't been confirmed. You still have a chance to redeem yourself. "As long as you cooperate with the investigation and confess, we will definitely request leniency for you from
The sudden turn of events brought back everyone's attention. The Watson Group building was tall, and they were on the 48th floor, the highest level. Falling from this height would likely leave nothing but a lifeless body.Alex and Nadia were the first to rush to the window."Emilia, release Grandpa now."Nadia coldly stared at Emilia. "Emilia, if you have any conscience left, release my grandpa immediately."The two police officers also looked nervously at Emilia. "Ms. Cooper, please stop making any further mistakes.""Yes. If you stop now, we can try to negotiate lenient treatment from the authorities. But if you harm Mr. Watson Senior, it will be too late for everything," the other officer added.The strong wind from outside turned Emilia's long hair into a mess. With her sinister smile, her disheveled look sent a shiver down everyone's spine.How was she not a villain?Everyone had been blind for treating Emilia as some kind of princess.There was madness in Emilia's eyes.
As Danny screamed, everyone in the room rushed toward Emilia. Just when they thought he was going to die, a knife flew out of nowhere and pierced her hand.She screamed and fell to the ground. Instantly, a black figure stepped forward and grabbed Danny's shaky body, pulling him in from the window.Narrowly escaping death, Danny leaned in the man's arms, gasping for breath. As for the others, their legs buckled, and they fell to the ground.Alex and Nadia were the first to react, taking Danny and the man who saved him away from Emilia.A knife pierced Emilia's right hand, and blood was oozing. She was about to faint, her face turning pale from the intense pain. Nadia looked at the man who saved Danny and thanked him softly, "Sir, thank you very much. Otherwise, something bad might have happened to my grandpa."Alex patted his shoulder. "Sir, what's your name? From now on, I consider you a friend. Whenever you need help, you can find me."The young man who saved Danny looked hand
"Dad, how could you do this to me? I'm your daughter!"Things had come to this point, but Emilia was still so shameless.The Watsons and other shareholders shook their heads. How did such a crazy woman deceive Danny?Suddenly, Ruth stepped forward and slapped her several times. "Do you think I don't know how I lost my daughter?"Ruth grabbed her hair and slammed her head against the wall. "I didn't want to mention it at first, but how dare you bring it up again? Even if you go to jail, I won't let your father go!"Upon hearing her words, everyone in the conference room, including Danny, was stunned.It sounded unbelievable. Was Nadia's disappearance related to the Coopers?As she hit Emilia, the police tried to persuade her to stop. Emilia's head was bleeding from the blow, but they still couldn't pull her away.It was the first time Nadia had seen this side of Ruth. She was fierce and completely different from her usually gentle demeanor. Alex chuckled. "Isn't Mom impressive
Danny stared at them in disbelief. "What ... what do you mean?"Wade was indifferent, but he didn't say anything too harshly. "The ancestral residence has returned to the family. You can go back and live there!"Danny panicked. "What about you?"Wade replied, "We will stay in the villa where Emilia's family lived before."In other words, they didn't intend to live with him."But we have the ancestral residence back?"In his opinion, they were a family. Lana had returned the Watson Residence to them, so they had to return with him. "We're a family …"Before he could finish speaking, Wade had already taken Ruth's hand and led his children out. "You and Emilia are family. Wait until she's released from prison, and you can live together." Danny's following words instantly stuck in his throat. He couldn't say anything to stop them.Except for the time in the hospital, he had always protected Emilia. Even when Nadia was insulted by others for no apparent reason, he didn't speak up
"Wouldn't it be easier for you if I tell Lana?"Liam thanked Nadia for her kindness but still refused. "I want to impress her and make her trust me again."Since he put it that way, she couldn't force him. She could only comfort him slightly, "Okay. I believe in you. You two will surely get back together.""Thank you!"He stood there, watching the Watsons' car drive away, and suddenly turned to look back. "Come out, I've seen you."He was in Watson Group's underground parking lot. For a while, he had known that someone was hiding behind him.Liam wondered who dared to spy on him in broad daylight. But when the person walked out, he was stunned."It's you!"Jason had a shy smile on his face. "Hello, Mr. Liam. We meet again."Liam still remembered Jason.Jason used to be the manager of his mall in Gilsbury, but his fight with Lana affected the man. He fired Jason while she took Jason away to Dawsbury.As many things had happened in between and Lana went overseas, Liam had almo
Cynthia lay in bed. The more she thought about it, the happier she felt.After so many years of patience and hiding, she had finally taken down Emilia and the Coopers. She had emerged victorious.Emilia and Mitchell spent so many years scheming and manipulating her. Now, prison would be their final refuge.With the crimes they'd committed, they might never get a whiff of fresh air again. Naturally, the Coopers fell into Cynthia's hands. No, who cared about the Coopers anyway?She wanted more than just the Coopers. She wanted a chance to dominate the world. Cynthia had effortlessly accomplished the things that Emilia couldn't achieve. What did that signify? It meant that her abilities surpassed Emilia's. She would have a bright future ahead of her!…As Lana's pregnancy progressed, Lana's belly became more and more pronounced. Romelius brought chicken and mushroom soup when Lana returned from her walk one morning.He smiled gently when he saw her frowning. "Be good. Hav
