Calvin glanced at the time. He was worried that Margot might come downstairs and see him, so he stood up and said, "Text me if there's anything else. I'm heading back.""Wait." Curtis signaled to Lena and said, "You go upstairs and be with Margot. I'll have a chat with him."Lena tactfully turned and walked away.Calvin sat back down and looked at Curtis. "What's up?"Thinking about the survey results sent to him by Chester this morning, Curtis took them out and handed them to Calvin."I can't believe that someone as wise and intelligent as you hasn't noticed this. The reason you don't want to reveal the truth… Well, is it because you want to cover for Zyla, or are you just going to let everyone continue to misunderstand Margot?"When something happened to Zyla earlier, Calvin told Curtis that he would take care of it and that he didn't need to worry.That was why Curtis didn't pay attention to it.So many days had passed, yet Calvin hadn't said anything to him. Meanwhile, Royc
"Lena, take Sabrina downstairs for breakfast."Lena nodded, then got up and left while holding Sabrina's hand.Curtis placed the tray on the bedside table, picked up the oatmeal which had cooled slightly, and brought it to Margot's mouth.Margot looked at him, raised her hand to take it, and said, "I'll can eat myself."Curtis let her be.As he watched Margot eat slowly, as if she had no appetite at all, he sat beside her and said, "I've investigated the matter thoroughly, and Zyla is definitely not pregnant with quintuplets."Margot looked up abruptly and met Curtiz' gaze in surprise. "Really?""Well, it's not quintuplets, and it's actually an ectopic pregnancy with just one baby. As you know, typically, an ectopic pregnancy doesn't result in a viable child. She knew all along that she would eventually terminate the pregnancy, so she simply used it as a way to frame you."Margot was surprised. "How could she be so bold? Isn't she afraid of getting caught? Do others know about
Zyla didn't expect that Calvin knew everything.She lay there, too scared to utter another word."Looks like you have no respect for anything at all, even resorting to deceive us...""But regardless of anything, she is a victim now." Daniel, who was sitting next to him, interrupted Calvin. "Can't it wait until she's better to address it? How important can it be, compared to Zyla's life?"Calvin turned to Daniel. "You're still defending her? Even if Zyla dies here today, it would be her own fault.""Calvin." Daniel suddenly stood up, facing Calvin. "Who are you to come here and criticize her? The person most responsible for why Zyla is like this today is you."The implication was that it was not Zyla's fault; it was Calvin's fault.Calvin understood what Daniel meant.Yes, a foster sister who would do anything to achieve her goals… Well, it was all thanks to Calvin.Who had him and his father adopt her and bring her back to the Morris family?Who could blame them, since the wh
At that moment, Royce happened to walk in carrying some food.Seeing Daniel still there made him very irritated, so he walked over and said, "Daniel, you've been staying with Zyla for several days now. You should go back and rest for a while."It was rumored that the second son of the Morris family had a strong aversion to women. He kept his distance from them and didn't even allow his own mother to get close to him.But why was he fine when it came to his adopted sister?Misogyny probably varied from person to person.Daniel never took Royce seriously.But he really should leave and go meet his so-called biological sister.He stood up and looked at Zyla. "Think carefully about what I've said. Give me your answer next time I come."Zyla lay there, feeling quite embarrassed and let out a hesitant response.Royce brought some food over, sat beside her, and personally fed her."What did he ask you to consider?"Zyla averted her gaze, "Nothing, it's nothing."Royce frowned, loo
"Why is Zyla so ruthless? She clearly doesn't care about Margot's presence at all. Is she trying to make all of you dislike Margot to the point where you force her to leave?"Calvin looked deeply pained and filled with regret. "It's all my fault. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have brought Zyla home. "After more than twenty years of affection, now we have to expel her from the Morris family, but I can't bear to do it. I'm unsure whether to punish her, and I feel guilty about it. Regardless, the way Zyla has turned out today is all because we indulged in her too much.Even if we were to punish Zyla now and make her apologize to Margot, it won't heal the emotional trauma already inflicted on Margot."Moreover, the fabricated evidence from Zyla was actually discovered by Curtis himself.In Curtis' view, these so-called family members were obviously protecting Zyla."So what you're saying is, you don't want to push Zyla away, but you still want Margot to come back to you?" At th
Curtis couldn't help but frown and said, "I'll go check it out, you go and talk to Margot.""Okay."As Curtis was coming downstairs, he noticed from a distance that the person sitting in the living room looked somewhat familiar.But then again, he had never seen Margot's second brother, so how could he possibly look familiar?He must be mistaken.But when he took a closer look, Curtis was astonished."Dan?"Daniel was also very surprised when he saw Curtis. "Curtis?"The two of them looked at each other, unable to believe that the person standing across from them was, in fact, their best friend from years ago with whom they had shared life-and-death experiences in a certain country.In Curtis' memory, ever since Daniel separated from him and Gabriel, there had been no news of him.They hadn't been in touch for all these years.He didn't expect...The person standing in front of him was indeed his best friend. Despite usually not interacting with people, Daniel got up and t
Seeing Margot coming downstairs, Curtis pushed Daniel aside and gestured. "She is your sister; you probably haven't met her yet."Daniel's gaze fell upon Margot.Margot also looked at him, gradually making her way toward the living room.Although she had never met Daniel all this time, she had heard that he had a strong aversion to women and disliked their presence.She simply stopped ten feet away.Margot stood there, reluctant to call out to him, uncertain if this man had ever hurt her in the past.Daniel stood up, his eyes still fixed intently on Margot.Although he had seen her before at the Morris residence back then, she was Anthony's "girlfriend", so he didn't really pay much attention to her or give her a second glance.Now, he looked closely at her. He found that Margot seemed so petite, not at all like what he imagined; a person who would intentionally harm Zyla for the sake of her own status.Additionally, she was now Curtis' wife.Curtis was such a wise and smart
Curtis smiled and changed the subject, "It's such a rare coincidence that we ran into each other like this. I'll give Gabriel a call and have him join us for a late-night snack."Daniel said, "Okay."Gabriel arrived at 9 PM.When the car stopped at the villa entrance, he specifically glanced at the house where Natalie and Calvin lived.The place was brightly lit. Even though he couldn't see anything, he could imagine that the married couple inside were probably very happy.Benjamin probably brought them a lot of happiness.Feeling a bit uneasy, Gabriel took a deep breath, straightened his shirt, and stepped forward to ring the doorbell.After the nanny opened the door, she respectfully said, "Mr. Sawyer, right? Please come in."Gabriel walked into the villa and was both surprised and delighted to see Daniel sitting on the couch.Daniel stood up and walked toward him.The two of them didn't say anything; they just shared a silent understanding and hugged each other. They held
