After freshening up and going downstairs for a meal, Lena quietly said to Curtis, Margot, Natalie, and Calvin, "Can you help me find a job? I don't mind the salary, as long as it's enough for me to support myself."Her master was no longer in the countryside, so there wasn't much point in her going back alone.To stay in such a bustling city, she needed a job that could support her lifestyle.From now on, she would live for herself.She would work hard to save money, and when her master returned, she would treat him well and respect him.Calvin looked at Lena sitting opposite him. When he heard her pitiful words, he felt a bit uneasy inside."Aren't you supposed to be studying at school? Why did you suddenly decide you want to work?"He once promised Lena's master that he would ensure she had no worries about food or clothing and would protect her completely.Ever since Lena started seeing Anthony, Calvin had stopped asking how she was doing.Looking at her now, with that expr
Lena held back the pain in her heart and tried not to cry.There was no need to cry; he could do whatever he wanted.Calvin noticed that Anthony also looked troubled, so he spoke up to comfort him, "Calm down and speak nicely. Don't get so upset. Sit down and eat first."Natalie has already gotten up to fetch the bowls and cutleries.Anthony had no appetite left for eating.Regina told him over the phone that Lena had failed the assessment, and he should never think about bringing Lena back to the Morris family for the rest of his life.He could avoid returning to the Morris family for Lena, but since she always went against him, he felt that it was not worth it.Anthony ignored the presence of others and questioned Lena, "Tell me, what exactly do you mean? Am I really not worth sticking with until the end?""Anthony, please don't lose your temper in front of me." Calvin's face darkened, and he stood up to scold his younger brother.Anthony looked at Calvin and said, "Stay out
"Anthony..."Calvin walked over, intending to block Curtis and scold Anthony. However, Curtis pushed him away, his eyes sharp and piercing as he confronted Anthony."As for the matter of Lena, I simply have to intervene. As long as I'm here today, don't even think of taking her away.""You’re really asking for trouble."Anthony clenched his fist. He was consumed by anger and was ready to throw a punch at Curtis.Margot instinctively put herself in front of Curtis and shouted back at Anthony, "I dare you to hit him! Anthony, can you respect Lena? She doesn't want to go with you. Can't you wait a couple of days until she calms down?"Anthony raised his fist, but when he saw Margot's face, he gritted his teeth and suppressed the anger in his chest. He then forced himself to lower his fist.He took two steps back and looked at the few people in front of him with a sad smile on his face. "Fine, so you're all just going to work against me, huh?""Please leave first." Calvin forcefull
Margot was startled and stared intently at Natalie."Natalie, what do you mean? Anthony hurt Curtis because of me? Did Curtis fight with Anthony?""Ah, it's nothing major."Realizing she had accidentally said too much, Natalie quickly smiled and led her downstairs to change the subject."Margot, what style of wedding photos do you think we should take?"Since Natalie didn't want to say more, Margot didn't press her and continued talking about Lena."Natalie, do you think Lena's instructor is such a strong person that Anthony couldn't handle him, and that's why he's taking his frustration out on Lena?"Natalie stopped and faced Margot. She looked puzzled. "Is there anyone in this world Anthony can't handle?""There are surely many out there; the world is vast and full of talented people.""That's possible. We should ask Lena about her instructor's background when we get a chance."After having breakfast, Curtis needed to head back to work at the company.Before leaving, he re
Margot looked at Branden and couldn't help but laugh."Oh, you can read fortunes now? If today isn't a good day for me to go out, then what should I do instead?""Perfect for staying home and taking care of the kids."Branden had a blank expression on his face. "Take Sabrina back. If you don't, you might not get another chance to spend time with her in the future."He was deliberately trying to scare her.Margot always looked down on Branden as she didn't think he was fit to be a father.His current behavior was even more baffling.Seeing the child standing outside the window, Margot couldn't bring herself to say no.Margot hurriedly brought Sabrina into the car, then looked at Branden and said, "Okay, I won't go out. I'll stay home and take care of her for you, alright?""Thanks, I'll treat you to a meal next time."Branden didn't hold back. He didn't even glance at Margot again and drove away.Margot sat in the car, feeling somewhat depressed as she watched Branden's car d
"Louis has grown a bit more. I can't wait for him to start walking so he can play with me."Margot and Lena exchanged a smile.Recalling something, Margot asked, "What happened between you and Anthony started because of that instructor. Who is he anyway?"Lena didn't think much about it and answered honestly, "He's just an instructor. Honestly, I don't really understand what's up with him. He always stands up for me and even teaches me how to deal with people who bully me."Furthermore, she felt really close to the instructor.But she grew up around her master since she was a child and didn't know anyone as young as the instructor.Sometimes she wondered if the instructor liked her.Knowing that Anthony didn't like her interacting with other men, Lena tried her best to avoid the instructor. However, every time she got surrounded and bullied by others, the instructor always managed to show up in time.She couldn't refuse the instructor's help, so she had to keep in touch with hi
"Mom, are you really planning to get rid of Margot?""Of course, a lowly commoner like her can't possibly dream of seducing my son and using a child to elevate her status!""But it seems like Anthony really likes her.""I will deform Margot's face so that Anthony won’t give her a second glance."Upon hearing this, Margot's emotions completely crumbled, and she was heartbroken.She could hardly believe what she had seen with her own eyes and heard with her ears.What exactly did she go through, to make her mother, who loved her so much, treat her so cruelly?What did she and Anthony do again?Why did Regina say that Lilac belonged to him?Looking at the many pictures below, Margot clicked on each one.It turned out all of them were photos of her hugging Anthony, her sleeping on the bed, and him sitting beside the bed looking at her affectionately.Why? Wasn't that her brother? Why did she behave that way around him?Margot found it hard to accept everything in front of her.
They hurt Margot and made her forget everything. They even made her return to the Morris family to face Regina, who had cruelly beaten and disfigured her.Margot was really curious if Curtis knew about this matter."Margot, are you thinking about our daughter again?" Curtis tried to avoid the important points as he didn't want to answer her question.He thought that Margot became emotional and broke down because seeing Sabrina downstairs reminded her of the daughter they had lost.However, in Margot's heart, she had long been suffering and found it difficult to face her family.Curtis didn't reply to her question directly so she didn't press him further.She closed her eyes and said, "You all can leave now, I want to get some sleep."Lena took out the silver needle and reassured her. "Hey, don't overthink it. Lilac will be fine."Lena left, but Curtis didn't want to.He sat on the edge of the bed, leaned over, and gently kissed her cheek as he whispered, "Go to sleep, I'll sta
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
