Cedric chuckled. "I don't think my wealth means anything to you, Mrs. Shaw."

She raised an eyebrow. "You didn't know who I was back then."

Even now, Cedric only knew about her other identity as Faye Connor and nothing else.

"You gave me a special feeling. I've never fallen for anyone at first sight, and I don't believe in that either!" he said.

"So? What is he trying to say? That we developed feelings for each other over time? We didn't even meet before …" she thought.

"I suppose our feelings developed over time," he said seductively into her ear.

She looked up in confusion, wanting to ask when they knew each other when she spotted the amusement in his eyes and widened her eyes. She shoved him away and said in frustration, "Don't you have some shame, Mr. Shaw?"

They met on the night when they accidentally slept together, so they only got to know each other in a "biblical sense".

She suspected that Cedric was trying to brag about his performance that night and refused to ac

    The door to the balcony slid open with a slight noise, followed by the faint sound of footsteps approaching. Had Faye not been so alert, she would not be able to notice such small noises. She thought that the person had come to attack Frederic, but it seemed as though she was the target. "Looks like the Shaws really 'care' about me," she thought. She clenched her fists and narrowed her eyes, waiting for that person to approach. She initially thought that the person would head toward her right away, but he simply turned and walked into the bathroom. Faye instantly found herself stunned. This person could not have climbed two floors just to borrow her bathroom. She narrowed her eyes thoughtfully when the door to the bathroom opened, and the person tip-toed toward her bed. Feeling resigned, she finally guessed who it was. She gritted her teeth and pretended not to know anything. As expected, the person carefully crawled into bed and lay down next to her. Two minutes la

    In the evening, Faye finally managed to excuse herself and went to visit Avery at the hospital. Mauve stayed at the hospital to care for Avery while Lucas took Cecilia to school. Spotting Faye, Mauve stepped out of the room. Faye handed a document to Avery. "This is the information about the person who ordered to have you kidnapped.""You've found them already?" Avery knew that Faye would look into the matter and that she only needed to focus on recovering, but she didn't expect Faye to act so quickly. Faye raised an eyebrow and sat on the side to peel an apple for Avery with a devilish smile on her face. "Someone was actually ahead of me."Avery frowned. "What do you mean?""Literally. Figure it out yourself." Faye did not care to explain. Even without Faye's finding, Avery knew who it was that targeted her. Still, she did not understand why Jason would take care of the matters if he hated her so much. "Maybe it's because those people humiliated him when they saw him wi

    Avery had been laying on the hospital bed for a while and decided to get up with her mother's assistance. Her wound was on her back, but thanks to the medicine Faye provided, it was healing rapidly.She would be discharged tomorrow. However, a back injury could affect her flexibility, which was crucial for dancers. With the upcoming role as a mentor in a dance competition, she was supposed to perform a solo dance routine at the opening. She had been busy choreographing and hadn't fully practiced the dance. With just over a month left until the competition, she initially thought she had enough time to perfect the dance, only to get injured at such a critical time. Fortunately, she had Faye supporting her, or participating in the dance competition and performing the opening dance would have been nearly impossible. The wound wasn't too deep, but if poorly cared for, it could jeopardize her ability to dance in half a month."Take it slow. Your wound has just healed, and you s

    For a whole week, Solomon and his sisters remained by their father's side day and night. Initially, they tried hinting to their father about everything Solomon had done for the family, but he didn't seem to take it seriously. Instead, Frederic seemed to enjoy making things difficult for them in various ways each day.Solomon had been attentive and dutiful for the first three days, tending to his father's every need. He fetched tea, massaged Frederic, and more. However, as the days went by, Frederic became increasingly good at tormenting them, and there was no progress on any other front.Solomon's patience wore thin. He could feel that Frederic was intentionally troubling him and had secretly consulted other doctors about Frederic's condition. It was confirmed that Frederic had amnesia, and the doctor explained that his sadistic behavior and enjoyment of others' suffering were likely due to his amnesia, which had released a darker side of his personality, unleashing the mischie

    This was the first time Faye met Nadia. She wore a plain, vintage long dress with her hair tied up. Despite the pale look on her face, she exuded the elegant air of a young lady from a noble family. She carried a bowl of soup as she knocked on the door. She was surprised when she saw Faye sitting on a rocking chair in front of the bed with her legs crossed. However, she quickly regained her composure and realized Faye was the doctor. She politely nodded to Faye and said, "Father. Dr. Connor.""Na—" Frederic, who had his legs crossed with an arrogant and prideful look on his face, hurriedly uncrossed his legs and turned to look at the door nervously. Before he could call out her name, he stopped himself. Given that he was acting as though he lost his memories, he shouldn't recognize Nadia. Hence, he cleared his throat and looked at the woman by the door arrogantly. "And you are? Let me see, Solomon is my eldest, my second son is overseas, my third and fourth children are both m

    Frederic was hardly in the mood for soup and stared sharply at Faye. "Start talking, Connor."Faye sighed. "Mrs. Shaw's condition is not complicated, so treating her should be easy. Why don't you drink your soup first? Let me talk to Mrs. Shaw alone later, alright?""What? Why can't I listen to your conversation?" He scoffed. Faye's lips twitched. "Considering your age, don't you think you should stop worrying so much? Just worry about the result, okay?""Does that mean you can cure Nadia?" Anxious, he accidentally said Nadia's name. Nadia furrowed her brows. Feeling hopeful, she did not pay much attention to what Frederic said. It's not the first time Frederic and Faye argued, but after all this time, he hadn't won a single time. This time was no exception. Under Faye's relentless coercion and persuasion, he had no choice but to drink his soup obediently. Once he finished, he impatiently ushered the two women out.This was Faye's first time walking around the large courtya

    In fact, Faye didn't need to examine the bottle of folic acid to determine Nadia's situation. She did it merely to make Nadia aware of the truth.Faye opened the nearly empty folic acid bottle and took a drop for testing. When she shared the result with Nadia, Nadia paled as expected. "Continuous consumption of harmful medications was the main reason for your difficult childbirth. Fortunately, you have a good physique at the time, or you might not have survived." Faye sighed, feeling increasingly displeased with the Shaw Family. "Will this affect my youngest daughter?" Nadia was more concerned about the potential impact on her youngest daughter.Faye nodded. "Yes, it would. Is she often frail, frequently ill, slow in development, and small in stature?"Nadia stumbled and came close to falling. "So all of this was caused by those medications?""If you didn't exercise regularly and maintained your good health, your daughter might not have survived past the age of three.""Who co

    As soon as Faye returned to the ward, Frederic eagerly approached her. "How was it? How is your sister-in-law doing? "It can't be as complicated as my condition, right? You're skilled, so you can definitely cure her, right?"In order to get Faye to treat Nadia, Frederic kept referring Nadia as Faye's sister-in-law and even started complimenting Faye. Amused, she asked, "You seem to really care about her, huh?""Of course, she's the wife of my eldest son that I chose. She's excellent in every aspect. She is gentle and virtuous, knowledgeable, and reasonable, yet my son failed her. I can't help but feel guilty."Frederic truly regretted his choice. Nadia was such a great woman. Frederic's efforts to educate Solomon were in vain due to his incompetence, ultimately ruining Nadia's life. That thought alone made his heart ache. Faye smirked and said lazily, "Don't worry. She'll be fine as long as I'm around. You should worry more about yourself.""I'm in good health, right?" Fr

    Faye had made arrangements for Jeorgia, while Cedric started an investigation into what the Anderson and Garcia families were doing. Faye knew that this was a trap and that nothing happened by coincidence. However, she didn't know what the culprit's motive was. She didn't have to wait for long because she received a phone call from Tracy later that afternoon. "Faye, you could've come at me if you were upset. Why did you target Grandma? She treated you well, yet you killed her over such trivial matters. Are you even human?"Faye smirked. "Since when do you care about her, Tracy?""What are you talking about? That's our grandmother. You did this, didn't you?""Would you believe me if I said I didn't do it?" Faye sneered. "Don't think that you can do anything you want just because you married someone rich. Faye, don't even dream of getting your murderer of a mother out! I won't let you. You better come back to Jeorgia, or this won't ever be over."With that, Tracy hung up.

    Clark's words only enraged Flora. Eleanor abused Faye when she was a child, which led to Faye getting sick repeatedly. She even allowed Lizzie to go into their home to poison Faye while Flora was at work. Faye suffered through so much hardship at the time and came close to dying. She was already poisoned when she was pregnant with Faye, which meant Faye was born with poison in her body. Though Flora tried her best to counter the poison, Faye was still more frail than ordinary children. Eleanor knew that Faye wasn't Clint's child, so she had always been displeased with her. "Had I known that she's the kind of person who can harm a child, I would never leave Faye with her." Rage filled Flora's eyes. Just as she was about to leave, Eleanor started coughing on the bed. Clark shouted and ran outside to get the doctor. Until the doctor arrived, there were two minutes when Flora was alone with Eleanor. It wasn't until the doctor arrived that Flora found out Clark didn't even

    Lizzie and Clint were momentarily stunned, confused by Tracy's words. "I just received a call from Uncle. He said that Grandma passed away and we need to go home."Clint jolted and collapsed onto the ground. "What?"Tracy smirked. "They can't reach you or Mom, so he called me instead. We need to go home right now.""Ha! So what if she's dead? She doesn't see us as family, so why should we go back?" Lizzie scoffed in contempt. Eleanor disliked her right from the start. If Eleanor didn't stop her from marrying Clint at the very beginning, Flora would have never gotten married to Clint. Though Eleanor helped get rid of Flora in the end, she continued to mistreat Lizzie when she finally married Clint. Eleanor resented Flora for being too strong-willed and disrespectful. However, she looked down on Lizzie for not being as talented as Flora and incapable of bringing more profit to the Brown family. She kept comparing Lizzie to Flora and bossed her around.

At the moment, he didn't need to pay to obtain attention. After Tracy declared her innocence, everyone considered Ethan a jerk who heartlessly searched for an excuse to divorce Monica.

How interesting," Clark chimed in. He still remembered how Tracy insulted him when he tried to ask Ethan for money. He held a grudge. Tracy's expression darkened.

"I'm sorry, but they are not my relatives. Please handle it according to the law." After hanging up, she looked at Cedric, who was waiting for breakfast.
