When she walked over to take a closer look at it, the door of the study opened.Felipe entered.When he saw Cathy here on time, he curled the corners of his lips in satisfaction.Cathy was stunned by his soft smile and gentle look. However, when she thought about the two children she lost, she felt her heart growing cold again.“I guess you’re willing to do anything for Jeremy now,” Felipe said profoundly, walking in front of Cathy.Cathy turned her face away in disgust. “Jeremy is my fiancé, so of course I’m willing to do everything for him.”Felipe’s smile disappeared. He did not want to hear Cathy telling him that she was concerned about another man.“Since you care about him so much, then from now on, please me. If not, don’t even expect him to leave F Country safely.”The threats that fell into Cathy’s ears were like the words of a devil. Once again, they crushed her heart.Cathy did not know how much time had passed. When she woke up, there was no one next to her, but sh
“My love and obsession for you went away the moment my two children left my body.”Cathy snorted.“I regret falling in love with a man like you at first sight.”Felipe scoffed. “You’re done regretting. Cathy, don’t even think of escaping from the palm of my hand as long as you live. You belong to me forever.”His possessive eyes enveloped her and completely overwhelmed Cathy’s gaze that was filled with resistance.…In the next few days, Jeremy’s wounds started to recover slowly, but there was still a long way to go until he had a full recovery.In these few days, Madeline would come to see him, eat with him, and feed him his medicine.Jeremy told her that Felipe had not come and caused trouble for him in these few days. Those bodyguards had stopped crowding the door as well.Madeline sensed that something was amiss. She knew Felipe would not let Jeremy off the hook so easily, so she figured there had to be something behind this.Cathy listened at one side and did not say any
Madeline looked at him proudly, “Yes, my and Jeremy’s child.”Felipe’s face darkened immediately. He wanted to know more about this when Madeline said irrefutably, “Felipe, the child in my stomach has nothing to do with you. You thought we did something that night, but actually, you were just hallucinating because of the aromatherapy kit I made especially for you.“You were just dreaming. It was just a dream that you wanted to happen.”Felipe believed Madeline’s skills in blending perfumes, but this truth was too much for him.All this while, he believed that Madeline was carrying his child. He thought he finally had her. He never imagined that the night they spent together was nothing more than a dream.He felt pathetic, but when he thought about it, he did have a dream that night. In that dream, the woman who was entangled with him was Cathy.“Felipe, from now on, I won’t be threatened by you. If you dare to ask someone to hurt Jeremy, I’ll hand the video to the police myself.
Felipe understood immediately after he heard that.‘Eveline, so this is why you’re siding with Fabian.‘You’re a woman of beauty and wits indeed.‘However, if you think you can reunite with your family like this, you’re still too naive.‘Perhaps it’s time you know what kind of person I really am.’…Hospital.Cathy looked at the time and went to the manor according to the time set by Felipe.However, when she turned around, she saw Felipe charging over to her.His face gave off chills, and cold air was emitting from his body. It was obvious he was not in a good mood.Cathy could sense that Felipe was here to cause trouble for Jeremy. As such, she blocked the door.“What are you doing here? You said as long as I appear in the manor on time every night that you won’t come to cause trouble for Jeremy.” Cathy reminded him in a small voice. She was worried that Jeremy would overhear them.Felipe scoffed nonchalantly. “You think too highly of yourself. Cathy, do you think you’re
Jeremy could not believe what he was seeing, so he snatched Felipe’s phone over.After looking at it properly, he noticed that this video had not been edited. The date on the video was clearly stated as well.“So? Are you surprised?” Felipe looked at the changes on Jeremy’s expression in satisfaction. “Do you think that this is worth dying for?”Jeremy ignored Felipe because his eyes were glued on the adorable little figure on the video.He reached out his hand to touch the adorable doll-like face in the video as tears welled up in his eyes.“Lillian.”“Are you over the moon now that you know your daughter is alive and well?”Felipe’s tone was sarcastic, and his eyes looked arrogant.“Back then, I was able to fake Eveline’s death and take her to F Country to make her disappear from your life. Now, I have the same power to ‘kill’ Lillian once again.”Jeremy held his phone and lifted his eyebrow. “Felipe, you even went as far as taking action against a child!”“It’s because you
This was understandable.Lillian was his daughter, so how could he be fine with someone else hurting his daughter?However, not all fathers loved their children.Cathy scoffed in sarcasm. When she thought about the two children Felipe killed, she felt debilitating pain in her heart.Felipe walked out of the room. When he saw Cathy spacing out, his eyes darkened.“Come with me,” he ordered. However, he only saw Cathy looking at him with resentment in her eyes. “What? Are you scared that Jeremy can’t come back? You know who the Stygian Johnsons are, and indeed, I want him to never come back.”“You’re a devil.” Cathy’s eyes were filled with contempt.Felipe pulled her to him, his handsome features looking icy. “The Whitmans owe me this.”“Even if Old Master Whitman was at fault, you shouldn’t blame Jeremy. You keep thinking that others have wronged you, but now I see it all clearly. You’re just jealous of Jeremy, and you’re jealous that he’s better than you at everything!”“Shut
Looking at the worried and anxious face in front of him, Fabian realized something was wrong.“Oh no!”His expression changed as he turned around to chase after the Madeline who took Lillian.Madeline did not know what was going on. She only heard Fabian saying ‘oh no’ out loud.She knew Lillian had to be in trouble. As such, she quickly chased up to him.However, after a few steps, she felt some discomfort in her lower abdomen.When she thought about her condition, she did not dare to continue running anymore.“Fabian, where’s my daughter?” she yelled at Fabian’s back as he ran hurriedly.However, it was as if Fabian did not hear her. Madeline looked in the direction Fabian ran in, and under the intertwining rays of light, she saw Lillian’s confused face.At this moment, a woman was holding Lillian. Then, the woman quickly hailed a cab by the side of the road before getting inside with Lillian.“Lillian!”“Sh*t!” Fabian cursed. He wanted to stop a car to continue the chase,
“Looking for your daughter? Who’s your daughter?” “Lillian Whitman.” Jeremy raised his frosty gaze. “The four-year-old girl you Stygian Johnsons stole from Felipe’s outer courtyard.” Confused, Yorick leaned over to quietly ask Fabian, who stood beside him, about what was happening. Watching the two whisper between themselves, Jeremy demanded coldly, “Give my daughter back to me.” Yorick quirked an eyebrow and chuckled. “It’s not that I’m unwilling to return your daughter. However, a price must be paid.” “Stop!” Yorick was about to go for Jeremy’s life when a woman’s voice suddenly called for them to halt. Her voice shot through Jeremy’s gloomy heart like a warm ray of sunshine. He quickly turned his head to stare at the woman who was striding toward him. “Linnie.” “Why are you here, Jeremy?” Madeline stared at the man in front of her with concern. “Didn’t I tell you to rest in the hospital?” Jeremy grabbed Madeline’s hand with excitement shining in his eyes. “It’s L
Gina, who was standing at the door, saw this scene and was about to walk in when she was stopped by her husband.“Stop causing more trouble. Do you really want your son to be a bachelor for the rest of his life?”“Who said I'm going to make trouble? I’m going to tell them that I agree to this marriage now, okay?”Her husband was startled. “You’re agreeing to this?”Gina was about to answer when out of the corners of her eyes, she suddenly caught a glimpse of the lights in the room. It was followed by cheers and applause from inside.Ava pulled herself out of Daniel's embrace. She was surprised to find Madeline and Jeremy, her parents, and even Tom and Maisie slowly approaching them with smiles on their faces.Ava stared blankly at Madeline. Then, she finally understood that they had all worked together to arrange this.Only she and Daniel’s parents were kept in the dark.Daniel had never thought of leaving her at all. He just used a different approach to let her know that she w
Upon hearing this, Gina slowly stopped.She never thought that Ava still had some respect for her in her heart.This really surprised her.However, she soon heard Madeline stand up for Ava. “Ava, you respect them, but have they ever respected you? Respect should be mutual.”“But Danny will always be their son. If Dan and I insist on getting married, his parents won’t be happy about it for the rest of their lives,” Ava said with a helpless sigh. “I really don't want Dan to be caught in the middle of this matter.”“But Ava…”“Maddie, don't persuade me. You should know best that when you truly love someone, you don't have to stay with them. As long as they’re safe, healthy, and happy, that's enough, isn't it?”There was a smile of relief on Ava's face as if she had already made a final decision in her heart.Madeline wanted to persuade her a little more, but nothing seemed appropriate at this moment.“Ava, are you leaving, then? Are you going to stop looking for him now?”“I've
Daniel's parents, who were secretly observing Ava in the distance, gradually became more and more restless in the car.“Hmph, how dare she say that she has a deep relationship with Dan? It's been so long and she still doesn't know where Dan has gone,” Gina rolled her eyes and complained.Daniel's father glanced at Gina. “Stop being so mean. Right now, the most important thing is to find Dan. Ava isn’t a bad person. In the beginning, you disliked her because she didn’t have parents, money, and power. Now, her parents are alive and well, her mother is extremely rich, and her father is a specialist doctor and professor. What else are you dissatisfied with? Do you really want your son to stay single his entire life?”Gina was not happy when her husband was complaining about her. “Didn't you object at the beginning as well? I agreed with the relationship after that, but your father refused to agree to save his reputation. Why are you blaming me now?”“Stop talking.” Daniel's father in
After Old Master Graham read Daniel's message, he was so angry that his eyes were wide open.‘He just got out of the hospital and he ran away for a woman?‘He even said that if he can't marry that woman, he won't get married in the future?’Old Master Graham would never allow such a thing to happen.However, when he thought about it, he still felt a little nervous.If Daniel really did not get married because of this, would this not be the end of the Graham family?‘I can’t let this happen.’After Ava ran out, she went to find Daniel in all the places she could think of. However, after spending the entire morning, she still could not find Daniel.She tried to call Daniel, and although the call was connected, it was always unanswered.As time passed, Ava felt very tired. She sat down on the chair by the roadside and watched the street where people came and went. Then, a deep sense of loss welled up from the bottom of her heart.‘Dan, have you decided to just give up?‘Are we
“I'll be right back!”Gina hurriedly ran back. Suddenly, she turned back and stopped Ava, who was about to follow her.“Don’t follow me! You’re not welcomed at our house.”Despite Gina's warning, Ava could not stop herself from looking for Daniel.She did not know what was going on. How could Daniel suddenly be discharged by himself? He had obviously been in a coma on the hospital bed. He did not wake up this whole time.On the way there, Ava called Daniel, but Daniel did not answer.Ava did not know if Daniel had his phone with him, but in short, she could not get into contact with him.She wanted so badly to stand in front of Daniel right now, but there was traffic on the way.When Ava followed Gina into the door of Graham Manor, she heard Gina's sharp voice. “What? Dan’s gone? Where did he go? D-Didn't he just wake up? What the hell is going on?”“Look at this and you'll know what's going on." Daniel's father sounded like he was reproaching someone, then he seemed to hand s
Ava stared at the empty ward for a while. Then, she returned to her senses and immediately went to look for Daniel.However, after looking around for a while, Ava could not find Daniel, which made her feel a little nervous.At this time, Gina also came in.She saw that the ward was empty, and Daniel, who was supposed to be lying on the hospital bed, had disappeared.“What’s going on? Where’s Dan? Did the doctor take Dan away?” Gina looked at Ava and asked with an unfriendly expression on her face.Ava was used to Gina's attitude, so she did not bother to argue with Gina. Instead, she replied, “I want to know as well.”“How could you not know? You came before me.”“Dan wasn't in the ward when I came,” Ava said and turned around. “I'll go to the nurse's station and ask.”“Wait.”Gina grabbed Ava, her face was dark.“Ava, let me tell you this. Dan has suffered a lot and gotten a lot of injuries because of you. Because of you, both Naya and her mother have been sent to prison. It
Since Julie was about to think that way, it showed that she was a reasonable person.“Lily.” Julie walked up to Lillian and squatted down, giving her a friendly blessing. “Lily, I really like you. I hope you can be happy every day, and I hope you’ll be able to speak soon.”Lillian was a sensible child. She raised a sweet smile and nodded vigorously, indicating that she acknowledged Julie's blessing.Julie stood up and faced Fabian. Right now, there was a little more admiration in her eyes and a little less of her unwilling persistence before.If one liked someone, one did not necessarily have to stubbornly fight for it.Julie did not say anything and just smiled at Fabian.Fabian did not say anything more either. He bent over and picked Lillian up in his arms. Before turning around, he gave Julie a friendly smile.“Miss Charles, you can still come to me if you need help in the future. After all, I still owe you a favor.”Julie smiled and shook her head. “You stopped owing me an
“I did,” Fabian admitted frankly.Julie thought she would feel embarrassed because of this, but she did not know why she still felt very relaxed. Even so, she still felt a little embarrassed.In order to not make Julie feel embarrassed, Fabian smiled and said, “I wanted to help you get out of that situation, Miss Charles, but I didn't want to cross the line. I also didn’t expect someone to have taken a video and put it on the internet. Lily and I have caused you much trouble. I'm really sorry about that.”Fabian paused as he spoke, then, he glanced at Lillian softly.“But Miss Charles, rest assured, there’ll be no such trouble in the future.”Julie was stunned for a moment when she heard the words, and she inexplicably felt a strong sense of loss coming up from the bottom of her heart.She looked at Fabian suspiciously, and sure enough, the words she heard next made her feel remorseful.“Miss Charles, I’ve found a more suitable school for Lily, and it’s closer to where I work so
The scene of Mr. Martinez causing a ruckus and Fabian coming to the rescue with Lillian at the end was all recorded and posted on the internet.This person was still a little conscientious and had censored Lillian's appearance, but Fabian's figure and face were clearly visible in the video.Patty recognized the person in the video as Fabian at a glance.After seeing the comments below, Patty was even more anxious.“Julie, how could you fall in love with a single father?”Julie frowned. “Yes, I won't deny it. I do have a crush on Mr. Johnson.”“What?”“Tsk tsk… Julie, do you really like this single father?” The look in Mrs. Gill's eyes was very subtle. “Someone dug up all his information, and it turns out that this man is Yorick's younger brother. Back then, Yorick stirred up all kinds of troubles and did whatever he wanted in F Country. His sister, Lana, was also notorious in our circle.”“What? He's Yorick and Lana's younger brother?” Patty was even more nervous, for fear that
