In the hospital ward, Ingrid completely broke down when she woke up and realized that her baby was gone. The baby was her only hope and leverage. How could she have lost it?"Dr. Langley, my baby must still be alive, right? What you said earlier was a joke, right? This joke isn't funny at all. My b
"Hello, who's this?"Evelyn answered. "Hello, is this a family member of Ingrid York? This is the maternity ward of Westerton Hospital. Ms. York, she…"Evelyn knew it was a call from the hospital before the nurse could finish her introduction. Ingrid was most likely up to no good again. She interru
It was none other than her previous roommate, Abigail.Abigail held Ingrid's hand, which was cold as ice. "Ingy, why have you lost so much weight? I heard that you need to take proper care of yourself after a miscarriage, or it could lead to health issues long term. You really should…"When Ingrid h
Ingrid was so furious that tears streamed down her face. She shouted hoarsely, "I told you I don't have money! I'm broke! I have no money! Even if you kill me, I can't give you any money. What more do you want from me?"Lucy only heard the words "no money" and nothing else. "If you don't have money,

"Alright, you seem to be busier than the dean these days…" Silas remarked. Paul said, "I'll be off then.""Oh wait, I forgot to ask. What did you come back to get?" Silas called after him."You ask too many questions."Silas was at a loss for words. …Miranda dozed off again after Paul left. She h
"Your mom has been held back terribly all these years," Warren had said.His words had made Miranda's heart sink. Warren had wanted to meet Mindy in person, but Miranda explained that her mother was in Lumberville and still under contract with Edith. Miranda hadn't wanted to cause any disruption t
Miranda glanced at her phone. It was a call from Paul. "Hello, Paul, Merry—"Before she could finish her sentence, she heard the sound of heavy breathing on the other end. Taken aback, Miranda froze for a moment. "What's…""Come outside, Mimi.""What?""I'm out front at your entrance. Come out."As
Austin stuck out his tongue at Yale. "Uncle Yale, shame on you! How can you compare yourself to little kids?" Yale was at a loss for words. Great, he thought, even the kids were bullying him.Suddenly, Susan thought of something and asked, "By the way, where's Paul?" "Oh, he got a phone call earli
Jenny was shocked. "Are they really that powerful?""Of course!" Quincey couldn't help but sigh. "I can't help but admire Miranda sometimes. Back when she needed money, she latched onto a rich young scion. Now that she's still young but craving for status, she went straight for a prominent academic
"Well, Dad and Mom still have a few jars left," Jenny said. "After thinking about it, we really shouldn't turn down Lionel's and his family's good intentions. Oh, right. Quincey, we still have to visit your maternal grandparents for Christmas. Let's head back now."The other members of the Sutton fa

Jenny had heard from other relatives some time ago that Jack's company was growing rapidly. His business had boomed so quickly that they could barely keep up with the demand. She had felt a little envious when she first heard the news. Jenny hadn't seen it with her own eyes and didn't know just how
Jenny's words dripped with sarcasm. It felt like someone had hit the pause button on the originally cheerful atmosphere as the smiles on everyone's faces froze. Lionel scratched his head and replied politely, "We were just lucky…""Oh please, don't be so modest! I've got terrible luck, and everyon
Mindy maintained a polite smile. "It's the thought that counts. After all, we're family. There's no need to compare."With that, Cynthia's expression softened into a genuine smile. "Mindy, you really do have a way with words. No wonder you're a famous writer."Jenny hadn't managed to gain the upper
Rena's smile widened and looked more genuine. "These are not cheap, right? You're really too much. We're just having a Christmas dinner with family, so there's no need to bring all these gifts."She wasn't like Jenny, who couldn't stand seeing others doing well. Her brother-in-law's success was a g
