Zyla was speechless.It turned out that she was nothing more than a pawn for him to destroy the Morris family in his heart.She meant nothing at all to him.Zyla felt as if needles were stabbing her heart. She couldn't believe that the man she had loved for over 20 years, for whom she had even lost a child, saw her as nothing more than a pawn.Now that she was no longer of any use, he discarded her like a worn-out shoe."Haha…"Zyla sat there feeling completely drained and laughed in despair.As she laughed, she burst out into tears.Lying on the ground, she bit down hard on her own hand, as if punishing herself for betraying the Morris family's kindness in raising her.At some point, a pair of elegant shoes appeared in front of her.Zyla looked up.Through her tear-blurred vision, a beautiful and delicate face slowly came into view.The woman held out a handkerchief to her with a sympathetic expression."I know Uncle Royce is going out of hand, but he's doing this for the
Laura said into the phone, "Curt, listen carefully to everything I'm about to say and don't ask any questions. Just listen. You need to keep a close eye on Margot and make sure she doesn't return to Emeria. Uncle Royce has already set up everything in Emeria. As soon as the Morris family members come back, they'll be immediately arrested. He had also taken control of all the Morris family's branches here and won over Alexander. Tell Margot not to return to Emeria under any circumstances, got it?""Laura, what are you doing?"As Laura was about to continue speaking, she suddenly heard Royce's harsh voice from behind.Terrified, she shouted into the phone, "Curt, remember what I said!"Royce rushed over and grabbed Laura's phone. Seeing that she was on a call with Curtis, he angrily smashed the phone before grabbing Laura by the collar in a fit of rage."Laura, are you trying to get yourself killed?"Frightened by Royce's fierce demeanor, Laura began to cry. She timidly said, "Uncl
Royce looked up at Pamela and asked, "What is it?"…Meanwhile, in Amberville, Curtis stood outside the crowd. Holding his phone, he struggled to process the situation.Laura just said Royce had set up a trap to capture them.How dare he did that?"Curt, what are you waiting for? Let's get going."Gabriel, who was escorting them, called out to him from not far away.Curtis snapped back to reality. He quickly stepped in front of the convoy and shouted with his phone raised, "Everyone, listen to me. We're not going to Emeria."The crowd murmured in curiosity.Calvin approached, looking worn out and weary from lack of rest. He had a sad expression on his face."Curtis, what are you doing? We need to get my mom back as soon as possible"Anthony also approached to ask, "Who called you just now?"Margot and Natalie, who were sitting n the car, got out and came forward. Their eyes were red and swollen as they looked at Curtis in confusion.They didn't know why Curtis had suddenly
Calvin quickly scooped Natalie up and hurried her to a bedroom in the house.Margot immediately instructed the servants to call for a doctor.The group followed them into the room, while Anthony stayed behind to have Regina's casket moved to the hall for the time being.With the immediate plans to return to Emeria on hold, they would have to proceed with Regina's funeral at the manor.As soon as Natalie was placed on the bed, she noticed that the pain in her abdomen had lessened. But she felt a slight trickle of liquid seeping from her body.She sat up and looked at everyone with a weak expression."I should be fine. Don't worry. I just need to use the bathroom."Calvin quickly assisted her. "I'll take you there."Natalie didn't refuse.The couple went to the nearby bathroom under everyone's gazes.Gabriel thought Natalie was probably fine. He decided it was best for him to leave and quietly stepped away.Remembering that Regina's casket was still outside, Curtis turned to M
The doctor quickly and carefully began the examination.When Margot was pregnant and stayed at the manor for a year, Regina had set up various medical devices at home to avoid frequent hospital visits.This included an ultrasound machine, which now proved to be quite handy.Calvin and Margot anxiously stood by. They could feel their hearts racing.They felt a mix of surprise and fear.If Natalie lost her baby at such a critical moment, it would be a devastating blow to the family.Fortunately, the doctor soon identified the pregnancy sac and fetal heartbeat through the ultrasound.In fact, there were more than one heartbeat.He let out a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, the baby is safe."The doctor stood up and smiled at Calvin. "Congratulations, Mr. Morris. Mrs. Morris is indeed pregnant, and she's about six weeks along. Although the fetal heartbeat is a bit unstable, if she takes good care of herself and the pregnancy, everything should be fine."Calvin was stunned.
Suddenly, Gabriel realized the child wasn't his.He got all worked up for nothing.Despite that, he found himself genuinely glad for Natalie.Smiling, he quickly headed back towards the clinic.In the hall, Margot found Curtis and Anthony working on arranging the mourning hall for Regina.They were also setting up the mourning hall for Frederick and Daniel.Seeing Margot approach, Curtis approached her and asked, "How's Natalie? Is she alright?"Margot nodded. "She's fine."She moved to Regina's casket and gazed at the peaceful figure inside. She then spoke softly with tears in her eyes. "Mom, I have some good news. You're going to be a grandmother. Natalie is not only pregnant, but she's expecting twins. Mom, I hope you're as happy to hear this as we are."Curtis was astonished."Natalie is pregnant?"Margot nodded. "Yes, it's confirmed. They're twins."Curtis let out a sigh of relief.This news was a pleasant surprise for everyone.Perhaps the arrival of the babies woul
However, Calvin was hesitant to speak his mind.He feared that making such a decision would disappoint Frederick and the ancestors of the Morris family.Natalie gently withdrew her hand and gently carressed his face."Cal, I will take good care of myself and the babies. You don't have to worry about that. But I need to rest and protect the babies now. I won't be able to accompany you to escort Mom back to Emeria."Calvin quickly reassured her. "We won't be going back for now. Royce has rebelled and taken control of Dad's key subordinates. If we return, we'll have to confront him. I don't want to go anywhere right now. I just want to stay with you and the babies. Don't worry too much. Just take good care of yourself and the babies."Natalie nodded.Calvin thought that the servants should have bought the ingredients by now. He stood up, tucked the blanket around Natalie, and gently kissed her forehead."Get some rest. I'll go prepare some food for you and the babies."Natalie nod
After hearing what Laura said, Anthony appeared disdainful and said, "For all these years, if it weren't because of the Morris family, do you think your family would be enjoying such wealth and comfort you have today?"Now that the country is peaceful, he wants his power back? In his dreams." Anthony looked at Calvin and said, "Ignore what Laura said. We don't have to negotiate with Royce. He doesn't even have the right to negotiate with us. I'll settle this.""Uncle Anthony, please don't." With teary eyes, Laura looked at Anthony and pleaded earnestly, "Please just let us go. With the power the Morris family has now, there's no need to keep us under your control."In the end, you all would be exhausted, and we would also be humiliated. I'm begging you, can you please give him one more chance?"Anthony remained hard-hearted and unaffected by the pleading and begging.Laura knew that it was the hardest to convince Anthony, so she turned to look at Curtis. "Curt, please help me
