"Okay." Sabrina obediently nodded and watched as her father walked toward Lena.Branden went into the kitchen and gestured to the nanny. "You go take care of something else, I'll handle this."The nanny was very polite and said, "Mr. York, you are a guest. How could I possibly let a guest do the work?""This isn't my first time here, no need to be so formal. Go ahead with your tasks, I'll take care of myself."The nanny saw that the other person was insistent on handling it themselves, so she had no choice but to leave.Lena stood nearby and was in disbelief. "You can make lunch too?""Yes, but the taste likely won't be as good as what a real chef makes."Then, Branden rolled up his sleeves and started working.Lena couldn't just go back and sit, so she helped out nearby.However, the silence between them was becoming quite awkward, so she decided to break the ice and start a conversation."Um… Sir, did you and Sabrina's mother get divorced?""Yes," he replied very straightf
Branden deliberately didn't dodge, and his exceptionally handsome face ended up taking a punch, causing blood to immediately trickle down from the corner of his mouth.Lena was startled and instinctively pushed Anthony away. She stood protectively in front of Branden, and yelled, "What are you doing? Why are you getting physical now?""Because he deserved it!"Someone who interfered with another person's relationship deserved more than just being hit.Still feeling unsatisfied, Anthony pulled Lena away and then grabbed Branden by the collar.When they were about to start fighting again, before Lena could stop them, Sabrina was already standing by the two men's legs. She looked up with a fierce but cute expression and said, "You can't bully my Dad. Let go, or I'll bite you."Sabrina was acting aggressively, clinging to Anthony' leg and looking like she might bite at any moment.Anthony was taken aback as he looked in disbelief at the child by his side and the words coming out of
Where did she get her confidence from?Lena stayed silent and didn't want to engage with him anymore.Anthony, growing impatient, banged on the door again and shouted, "If you don't open it, I'm going to kick it open!"An angry voice from Lena can be heard as she said, "Do it then! We're already broken up; there's nothing more to discuss. Just leave.""When did we break up?" Anthony was immediately annoyed. "Lena, don't push me, open the door.""I told you before, we broke up. If you forgot, I'm telling you again: we broke up."Fuck! Unable to bear it any longer, Anthony violently kicked open the door in front of him.He strode in with an imposing air.Lena stood up and glared at him fiercely, ready for a confrontation."Say that you're breaking up with me again."Anthony's face turned pale with anger. He roughly grabbed her thin shoulders and growled loudly, "Lena, what have I ever done wrong to you that makes you treat me this way?""When have you ever been good to me?" Le
Lena never thought about breaking up with Anthony.He was too self-centered and always controlled her.Moreover, due to Regina's interference and his constant misunderstandings of her, she had no choice but to tell him they should break up.Hearing him ask about the breakup again, Lena hesitated as she was unsure of how to respond.Anthony saw that she was at a loss for words and couldn't figure out what she was thinking. He felt a mix of sorrow and bitterness in his heart."Let's put our discussion on hold and talk about it later. We should talk about Margot now. I need to hypnotize her, so please stop stirring things up on the side.""Are you sure you hypnotized just for her sake?" Lena questioned him back.Anthony was quite displeased. "She's my sister. Would I harm her?"Lena nodded and let out a cold snort."Sure, she's your sister, so you wouldn't want to harm her. All right, then you go ahead and hypnotize her. I really want to see if you can actually help her remember
Anthony sat in the living room for a while and started to feel bored. His gaze involuntarily drifted toward the dining room, and he called out to Sabrina."Sabrina, where did your godmother go? When is she coming back?"Sabrina hurriedly said, "My godfather said he was taking her out to get some fresh air. I'm not sure, but if it gets dark, they should be back by then."Dark?Did that mean Anthony had to wait almost the whole day?The thought of seeing Branden downstairs made him feel uneasy, so Anthony got up and headed upstairs again.Branden checked the time. After having lunch, he told Sabrina, "Go upstairs and tell Lena that we're leaving first."Sabrina was very curious. "Aren't we going to wait for Mommy and Daddy to come back before we leave?""Nope. You've missed several days of class already.""Alright, then how often can I come visit Mommy again?""When she needs you."Sabrina didn't quite understand.Generally, when would Margot be needed?She didn't think much
"Why? If you love her, then why did you marry me? Please don't go, Curt. If you stay with me, I can have children with you.""Margot, you will never be Mrs. Crosby. Let's get a divorce!"In an instant, countless disjointed fragments flashed through Margot's mind, and numerous voices echoed in her ears.She suddenly panicked, lost control of her emotions, crouched down holding her head as she tried hard to piece together all the fragments and remember what had happened.Why was she hearing those sounds?Why did her chest suddenly hurt so much?"MArgot, what's wrong?"Curtis crouched down and hugged her with concern. "Did you remember something, or are you feeling unwell?""No, Curt, please don't leave me, don't..."Margot had completely lost her normal consciousness. She was trembling all over, and was muttering to herself in a daze, "Curtis, I hate you. How could you treat me like this?""No, it's not my fault.""Curt, I'm sorry. Please don't leave me. Curtis, I don't love y
Curtis didn't trust the doctors' medical skills. When he saw Lena hurrying over, he quickly stood up and spoke to her."Take a look quickly, what's wrong with Margot?"Lena rushed over so quickly that she forgot to bring her silver needle.She stepped forward to give Margot a preliminary check-up.Anthony also had a bit of medical skills, but his methods were completely different from those of Lena.They each focused on their own thing without getting in each other's way.Lena paused and looked at Curtis."There's no risk to her life. What did she experience before she fainted?"Curtis said, "I took her to the place where we used to live together. A lot of her belongings were still there. After seeing them, she started acting strangely and saying all sorts of incoherent things.""Could it be an awakening of consciousness?" Lena muttered."What does that mean?"Anthony explained, "It's about using past items to trigger lost memories."Curtis was still puzzled. "Does this mea
Lena pushed aside Anthony's hand with a nonchalant expression on her face.Anthony noticed that Frederick's expression had darkened a bit and, fearing that Lena might say something else that would cause the whole family to develop a prejudice against her, he quickly pulled her away.Lena didn't want to leave, but Anthony was very strong, and she couldn't resist, so she had to follow him out of the hospital ward.Calvin, worried that the noise might wake Margot up and upset her further, went up to remind his mother."Mom, let's leave for now and let Natalie and Curtis stay and keep an eye on things.""Yes. Dad just got back and hasn't even rested before coming to the hospital. You should go back with him and get some rest. I'll let you know if anything changes with Margot," said Natalie.Regina glanced at her and reluctantly nodded."Alright, Natalie, please take good care of Margot for me.""Don't worry. I'll take good care of her.""Okay."Regina walked over to her husband a
Curtis didn't argue with her, and instead, he took her hand and led her inside.Margot noticed that despite Curtis' stern demeanor, he still showed care for her through his actions. She smiled knowingly and playfully asked while walking beside him, "What, can't find me at certain times and you're worried I ran off with someone else?"Curtis glanced at her and scoffed."Would you dare? If you dare run off with someone else, I'll break your legs."Despite speaking harsh words, the expression on the face and the gaze in the eyes directed at Margot were so gentle, it seemed as if they could bring forth tears.Margot listened to his violent words and stared at him, "Say it again, whose legs are you going to break?"Curtis was standing there. Although he still had a bit of presence, his facial expression already showed defeat.Before he could try to please his wife again, Margot had already brushed past him and slipped through the mansion's front doors.While running, he shouted, "An
So Gabriel had to personally drive her wherever she needed to go.Curtis listened to the two people and narrowed his eyes again."Who else?""Anthony."Anthony?Curtis was momentarily taken aback.Then, he saw Anthony coming out of the kitchen wearing an apron and carrying a plate, and walking into the dining room.He set down his coat and told Luna, "You sit, I'll go help.""Go ahead."Curtis followed into the kitchen and saw that Anthony and Gabriel were acting as if they were in their own home, helping themselves to whatever they wanted to eat and making it themselves.He also felt a bit embarrassed and walked over, saying, "It's not right to have you cook since you're visiting, let me do it instead."Gabriel glanced at him and said, "We all treat you like one of us, so why are you being so formal with us?"Anthony responded, "I'm making it for my wife, after all, she only eats the food that I make."Curtis shook his head helplessly.They were showing off their relatio
Margot and Lena turned their heads at the same time.Jordan was dressed in a British-style uniform with a backpack. At eight years old, he stood around four feet tall. His smile was like a little ray of sunshine and could really brighten anyone's day.He shouted, "Mom, Aunt Lena, did you come specifically to pick me up?"Every time Margot heard Jordan call her "mom," it filled her heart with warmth.She raised her hand to give him a hug, gently ruffled his hair, and said, "Of course I'm here to pick you up, get in the car.""It's been a month since I last saw you, and you've grown taller."Lena pulled Jordan onto the vehicle and started driving.Sitting in the car, Jordan couldn't help but smile as he looked at his senior.Lena looked at him and smiled, "Living here, how does it compare to being up in the mountains?"Jordan's eyes landed on Margot, filled with warmth and joy."Wherever my mom and dad are, I feel is the best place. Of course, I'm not saying that being with Mas
Margot greeted them with a smile, saying, "I thought you two would be quietly enjoying your romantic time at the estate. I didn't expect you'd come over to see us!"Lena reached out and gently pinched Louis' round cheeks, then looked at Margot and said, "You keep saying that, but you're not working, so why don't you come visit us?""I'm at home taking care of the kids. You have no idea how challenging it is.""Heh, you're just unfairly blaming Louis. Our little Louis is clearly very well-behaved."Lena ignored Margot and couldn't help but give Louis a couple of kisses after picking him up.Anthony walked over and asked, "Where is everyone else?"Margot motioned for them to come over and sit down, then poured them some water."Natalie just had her baby not long ago, and my in-laws went with Natalie's parents and the others to visit the babies, and they're also going to visit Dad."Whenever Anthony talked about his oblivious elderly father, he got frustrated.He didn't ask any m
Frederick, exuding the presence of the head of the family, welcomed the arriving in-laws with a smile.Afterwards, he behaved well and didn't mention anything about Yasmine, nor did he cause any trouble with his sons.The in-laws were very careful not to mention Frederick's injury, as they didn't want to hurt his pride.Daniel saw how lively it was at home and decided to bring Ena's mother over so that the in-laws could take the opportunity to get to know each other better.In the days that followed, everyone got along very well.In Amberville, Alice Manor.Anthony and Lena were enjoying a peaceful and romantic time together here. No one was bothering them, and they were not going out to work.The two of them spent the entire day cozied up at home.It involved either snacking while watching a movie or playing games followed by some cuddling and kissing.Anthony often made delicious food for Lena and took care of her so well that she seemed completely pampered.This caused Len
"If you won't let me bring her into the family, fine, I'll set up a large estate elsewhere. When the time comes, I won't let you in either."Daniel felt that his father was quite childish.He chuckled and said, "How about this, once the guests leave, I'll take you back to Yasmine. Then you can tell her that you've cut all ties with us and you want nothing. At that point, Yasmine is still willing to stay by your side and take care of you, then we'll do as you wish. How about that?Regarding the greedy Coran siblings, it was important to know that their father didn't have anything valuable left on him, and they wouldn't gain any benefits either.It would be surprising if she still stayed by Frederick's side."Don't underestimate people; Yasmine's love for me is genuine."Frederick didn't want to bet with Daniel.Human nature was something that shouldn't be gambled on.Daniel laughed again. "Are you afraid of losing, Dad?"Frederick stared at Daniel and said, "When have I ever be
Yasmine was not happy when she heard she would be left alone.She knelt beside Frederick, holding his hand and pleading desperately, "Frederick, you can't do this. You can't leave me here alone. If you leave, they'll treat me badly again, just like before. Can you take me with you? Even if it's just to be your nanny, I'm begging you!"Frederick could not stand seeing women cry.When Yasmine pleaded like that, he softened and turned to look at Daniel.Daniel, with a blank expression, said, "Dad, do you really want your in-laws to see you like this?"Frederick also looked upset and said in a serious tone:"Couldn't you say she's my nanny? Who would know?""We have kids at home, do they lie?"Frederick had no choice but to turn to Yasmine and said, "Just stay here. They won’t dare bother you again. I'm leaving now."He raised his hand to signal Daniel to push the wheelchair.Daniel pushed the wheelchair forward.However, Yasmine was unwilling and tried to stop it again.The he
"Are we supposed to live here for the rest of our lives? Even if we have to stay here, at least give us the freedom to come and go as we please."Look at how they've sent so many people to watch over us again, clearly treating us like prisoners."Noticing that Frederick's expression was starting to soften, Yasmine continued to stoke the fire."Tell me, is there any way sons should be treating their father like this? They just want to drive you to your limits so they can split up your assets. Frederick, you can't let them have their way, or else you'll spend your whole life working tirelessly for them only to end up in such a miserable situation. How pitiable that would be.Frederick was speechless.He didn't want to go back. But if he did, his sons would have to treat him with great respect.He hoped that Calvin would bring the military seal, and it had been two days now, yet they still hadn't delivered it to him.Was he really planning on not giving it to him?As soon as he th
She ignored him, and Tommy didn't take the initiative to talk to her either to avoid making her overthink.After sitting in the living room for a while, he waited for all the members of the Crosby family to come downstairs. Once they did, he followed them to the dining room for a meal.As soon as Tommy arrived, Laura put down her fork, got up, and without looking back, said, "Enjoy your meal, I'm heading to the university.""Heading out so early?" Ashley asked.However, she didn't respond and slipped out the door directly.Elias said, "There's an exam coming up, so she's been very focused. She goes in early every day."Curtis and the others didn't seem to mind and invited Tommy to sit down.Only Margot knew why Laura walked so quickly.It was because Tommy was here.Laura had a crush on this big celebrity, and since she couldn't be with him, it was naturally difficult for her to interact with him further.So it was completely understandable that she avoided him whenever she s
