Amidst the tumultuous scene, Lana found herself cornered by a vocal crowd. Among them, Carol and Cherry standing were the most agitated.

"You shameless girl, hand over Simon now," Cherry exclaimed with frustration.

"Do you not fear the legal repercussions of your actions against Simon?" Carol joined in, her voice quivering with anger.

Lana found herself continuously pushed backward by store employees. She couldn't even enter her store. The impassioned protesters had effectively blocked the entrance.

In such circumstances, those with a weaker resolve might have been terrified. They were uncertain about the lengths to which these protestors might go.

However, Lana maintained remarkable composure even in the face of such dire circumstances.

Her unwavering determination was evident as she asked, "Isn't this exactly what I want to talk to you about? Aren't you worried about the legal consequences of spreading false information?"

I simply enjoy observing those who can neither accept me nor dismiss me," Lana finished.The surroundings fell into silence, so profound that one could hear a pin drop.

Lana asked.Nicole took a sip of water and said, "Today's a Sunday. Nadia usually eats at the restaurant on weekends. But she's still not here."

    On the evening of the banquet, the Garrison Villa was bustling with distinguished guests.Initially, everyone's attention was on the precious great-grandson of the Garrison and Kane family. With his confident and lively demeanor, the chubby child was absolutely adorable. Everyone was naturally curious about who the child might have chosen as his stepmother.It should be noted that the Garrison and Kane family only had one great-grandson. His future was destined to be extraordinary. As long as one could control the child, it was much more worthwhile than dealing with those individuals from the two affluent families.After all, the elders from the two families were very attentive and doting toward this child.

Did you miss Mommy? Mommy missed you so much!"Lana ran toward Leonardo, talking to him while reaching out to hug him.

He would occasionally peek out from the gaps to glance at Lana.His actions clearly showed that he refused to accept Lana.Lana's enthusiasm was dampened, and her outstretched arms awkwardly remained in midair. She looked at Romelius and then at Mandy as if waiting for them to persuade Leonardo. However, these two remained silent and only greeted Lana in a casual manner."Oh, Lana, you've come?"

All of them were busy scurrying around and helping Hector deliver the invitations.In addition to people who had business dealings with the Garrison family, the invitations were naturally sent to people who were familiar with Lana in the past.

After all this time, had they truly become adversaries?Releasing Lana abruptly, Violet gently patted her arm, her eyes filled with profound hurt."You're here, alive and well. Why did you leave us in the shadows? Even if you chose not to contact anyone else, you should've considered reaching out to me. Do you have any idea how much I missed you?"Over the years, Violet had been grappling with a deep sense of loss.Though it remained an unspoken sentiment among them, Violet was aware of the underlying blame directed toward Liam for what was believed to be Lana's demise.Had Liam been more emotionally available, their relationship wouldn't have crumbled.

"Leo, you should be calling me 'Mommy'!" she gently corrected him.Leonardo hesitated momentarily before redirecting his attention to Liam.Even though Liam hadn't exchanged a single word with Lana, he spoke up when Leo glanced his way, firmly stating, "Feel free to do as you wish. There's no need to seek my approval.
