In the spacious dining room, only the sounds of the housekeeper and servants serving dishes remained. However, everyone at the dining table fell silent, afraid to make a sound.Although Belle and Beatrice wore displeased and resentful expressions, they dared not voice their grievances under the overbearing presence of Frederic. Frederic, however, seemed unsatisfied and continued to scold them, "You seem to forget that Connor is my doctor. She is not only important to Cedric but also to me. Your sarcastic remarks and unfriendly attitudes are aimed at the person who's saving my life. Are you wishing for my early demise?""Father, we … We didn't mean that …""We certainly wish you to live a long and healthy life …"The sisters hurriedly explained, but Frederic sneered. "Your words sure sound sweet, but don't think I can be fooled just because I'm sick now."Biting her lip, Beatrice couldn't hold back her anger and whispered, "Father, there are some things that I've been wanting to
Love's Masquerade Chapter 393 Give Me A Grandson
Under the protection of Frederic and Cedric, Faye managed to dine peacefully. Though Beatrice and Belle were both furious, they couldn't do much to Faye and could only grit their teeth in frustration. After dinner, Faye was satisfied and joined Frederic for a walk using the excuse of checking his current condition. Cedric, who was ready to return to the study, was stopped by Solomon. "Cedric, Father is feeling much better now. It's all thanks to you, who called for Dr. Connor's help." Solomon looked at Cedric with a smile. Cedric nodded. "You give me too much credit, Solomon. The old man isn't just your father, but mine as well, after all."His words instantly caused Solomon to be tense and left him wondering what Cedric meant. "Cedric, you truly care for Father, and I'm sure he can tell. I'm just wondering when you plan to return to our family business. The position of vice president is still reserved for you."Solomon said this to test the water. When Frederic appointed

She would never give birth at such a young age and hadn't even considered it. After all, she was still in her early 20s and considered herself too young. She hadn't even figured out her own life, so how could she have a child? Naturally, Frederic saw it differently. He was old. Cedric only returned to the family recently. Frederic felt that he owed Cedric, and therefore, cared most about him. All he wanted was for Cedric to inherit his place or produce an heir, at the very least. With a miracle doctor like Faye around, Frederic felt like he could live for another decade or two until his grandson was old enough to inherit everything. When Faye didn't respond, he cleared his throat. "It's been a while since you two got married. It's best to give birth while you are still young. That way, you recover sooner, and it's more beneficial for the child as well."Faye smiled. "You sure care about us.""You two are my son and daughter-in-law, so why wouldn't I care about you?" Fre

Her doll-like face, at the age of 20, made her look underage, and when she stood next to Nadia, she almost looked like Nadia's daughter. Nadia wore a dark dress from Light Moon Designs that highlighted her graceful figure.Having recovered from a serious illness, the makeup added a healthy flush to her complexion. With her long hair pinned up, she appeared exceptionally elegant.In her 40s, Nadia maintained her charm and appeared on par with a woman in her
Love's Masquerade Chapter 396 Exactly the Same
Sandra's sudden display of affection left Faye somewhat bewildered. Instinctively, she took a couple of steps backward, trying to retract her hand and establish some distance from the elderly woman. Surprisingly, despite appearing to be in her 70s or 80s, Sandra demonstrated considerable strength. She gripped Faye's hand firmly as if holding onto a lifeline. "Layla, you're back ..." Sandra exclaimed with excitement, gripping Faye's hand. With her other trembling hand, she attempted to push aside the veil partially covering Faye's eyes."Mrs. Reed ..." Nadia was also taken aback by Sandra's behavior. She was about to interject when Sandra's daughter-in-law, Yvette, rushed forward. Anxiously, Yvette said, "Mom, you've mistaken her for someone else. This isn't Layla."Yvette held Sandra's hand and gently advised, "Mom, calm down. This young lady is in her early 20s. How could she be Layla?""When Layla left, she looked exactly the same ... Exactly the same ..." Sandra insisted. S
Love's Masquerade Chapter 397 As Long as She Comes Back
"She's a Jeorgian?" Sandra blinked in disbelief. As her gaze met Faye's again, she realized that her overwhelming yearning for her daughter had led to the mistaken identity. Upon closer inspection, Faye seemed more composed than the young Layla. She seemed a bit less naïve, with a hint of grace replacing some of the softness.Back then, despite Layla's martial training since childhood, she exuded the delicate aura of a pampered young lady due to the excessive protection from the Reed family. In contrast, Faye had experienced more in her upbringing, maintaining an air of elegance and determination beneath her seemingly innocent and romantic exterior.Though their faces bore a striking resemblance, especially the eyes hidden behind the veil, reminiscent of her daughter's younger days, Sandra couldn't shake the feeling that they were entirely different.After deeply observing Faye for a moment, Sandra turned to Nadia. "Is it true? Who is this ..."Sandra had a good impression of Nad
Love's Masquerade Chapter 398 The Person in the Photo
Faye was chatting with Taylor when she heard that Sandra had fainted. Reacting swiftly to the news, Taylor took a few hurried steps, then hesitated. He cast a nervous glance back at Faye and said, "Mrs. Shaw, would you mind accompanying me to check on Grandma?"It wasn't a lack of confidence that held Taylor back. Rather, he possessed an intimate understanding of his grandmother's condition. Being part of a family steeped in medical expertise, they were acutely aware of Sandra's fragile health. Taylor recognized that if a cure existed within his capabilities, Sandra wouldn't be in her current state. Sandra's true ailment, however, was more psychological than physical. Mental distress had taken its toll on her body, exacerbated by the effects of aging, resulting in a myriad of health issues. While Sandra acknowledged her health problems, she refrained from confronting or addressing them. Her situation bore a resemblance to Victor's. Both individuals engaged in self-punishment in th
Love's Masquerade Chapter 399 Was It Intentional?
Exiting from the old lady's room, Faye kept her head down and remained silent. Nadia observed Faye picking up a photo frame and noted her attention to the person captured in the image. Faye was lost in her thoughts, and Nadia hesitated, unsure of what to say.They maintained a quiet demeanor for a while. Eventually, the two made their way to the banquet venue—the first floor of the Reed residence.The hall chosen for the banquet exuded a festive aura with its spacious layout and intricate decorations on both floors. Tables draped in dark tablecloths were laden with an array of drinks, fruits, and snacks. The venue buzzed with a considerable crowd, creating a vibrant and lively atmosphere.Preferring solitude over crowds, Faye and Nadia sought a quiet corner to settle. Breaking the silence, Nadia said, "Are you thinking about Layla, the talented lady of the Reed family?"Faye nodded slightly, her gaze fixed on Nadia. "Are you well-acquainted with her, Nadia?"Nadia nodded in return

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. Lizzie remained patie

"You look alright. Who would have thought you are the kind of man who would cheat on your wife?" Eleanor didn't mince her words and immediately kept her distance. Mandy smiled. "Tracy, look at what you've done to your boyfriend.""She stole Faye's boyfriend and sent Anthon's family to prison. Now, she's here destroying Mr. Garcia's family. He lost everything because of her.

Faye learned about the Brown family being taken to the police station the following morning. Just as she got up, she received a call from the police station informing her that her relatives had been detained due to a brawl. She was urged to head over to mediate the fight. Faye smiled. "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. She hugged him from behind and said with a smile, "Guess what interesting scene I witnessed last night?"Cedric turned his head to study the triumphant look on her face. He smiled.
