The waiter, realizing the truth was out, immediately kneeled before Kyle, begging for mercy.“Mr. Goodman, spare me, I was blinded by greed for a moment. She gave me the drugs, it was her!”Pointing at Melanie, the waiter spoke loudly, “She gave me five hundred thousand dollars to put the entire packet of drugs into the wine, but I was worried about trouble, so I only put half of it. Mr. Goodman, please spare me. It really wasn’t me who wanted to harm you…”Melanie widened her eyes suddenly, pointing at the kneeling waiter. “You're lying! No...no…”Seeing Melanie denying it, the waiter immediately spoke up, “I have a recording, and the transfer records you gave me, I have them all!”It was his first time doing something like this, so he was afraid and unsure, and took precautions and recorded it on his phone.Monica glared sternly at Melanie and then turned to the waiter on the ground. “Bring out the recording and the transfer records!”The waiter tremblingly took out his phone,
Kyle did not care who that man was, it could not possibly be him.Melanie picked up the phone, but as soon as she saw the man in the room on the screen, she collapsed to the ground.It was a stranger’s face, not Kyle’s.“Who...who is this?” Jane was also stunned. Was it not her daughter adamant that it was Kyle? How could it be someone else?“No...this can’t be!”Melanie threw the phone, unable to believe or accept that she spent the night with a stranger.“The video is fake, you must have fabricated it! Kyle, how could you be so heartless, not even acknowledging your own child!”Kyle looked at Melanie with a cold stare, an icy gaze in his eyes. “If you still don’t believe it, when your belly gets bigger, you can do an amniocentesis for a DNA test.”Kyle was confident and straightforward, unafraid of the test. Hearing his son’s words, both Kyle’s parents were convinced that the child in Melanie’s belly could not possibly be his.With things at this stage, there were no mor
After resolving the matter, Kyle returned to the villa. As soon as he got out of the car, Zoe rushed out of the house. "Ky!" She was very worried about him. Ever since the last time Kyle received a beating at the Goodman Residence, Zoe had been particularly concerned every time he went back, worried that he would be beaten again. "Ky, did your dad hit you?" Kyle directly lifted Zoe up, her legs wrapped around his waist. As they walked toward the house, he replied, "No, Zoe, everything has been resolved." Zoe stared at him with wide eyes and asked, "Whose baby is in Melanie's belly?" "It's not mine." Kyle explained to Zoe, "The last time I saw her was at her father's birthday banquet. That night, she drugged me. Later, I went to the hospital for an infusion. You were also there. Do you remember?" Zoe nodded. "I remember..." Kyle carried Zoe back to the room and told her everything that had happened. After listening, Zoe glared angrily. "Melanie, that wicked woman i
Upon receiving the news, Kyle and Solomon rushed to the hospital and found Blair sitting silently on the hospital bed like a stone pillar.There was no emotion on his face even when he saw their arrival."Master Blair, you've finally awakened!" Solomon said excitedly, tears welling up. They thought he would be in a coma forever.Kyle looked at Blair with concern and asked, "Blair, are you okay?"Blair pinched his brow and nodded slightly. "How long have I been unconscious?""Fifty-one days, nearly two months."Kyle paused momentarily and continued, "During your unconsciousness, Tracey still hasn't—""Tracey?" Blair was looking at Kyle with his brows furrowing and uttered three words, "Who is she?"Kyle and Solomon were taken aback. Did he just ask who Tracey was?Italee, Rome.The Muller Manor.When Mable woke up, she found herself in an unfamiliar environment and could not figure out what had happened.Someone was pretending to be a doctor that night and entered her hospit
Two years later.Italee, the Muller Manor.In a warm bedroom, a woman in casual clothes curled up on the couch, almost drifting off to sleep.The woman unknowingly fell into a nightmare, surrounded by darkness without a single glimmer of light. It felt suffocating.Suddenly, she heard someone calling her "Mommy.""Mommy, where are you? Mommy, don't you want me anymore?""Mabes, don't leave me. Mabes."The voice was so familiar, but who was calling her?The cry of a baby woke the woman from the nightmare.Mable saw that her child was awake. Without even putting on her shoes, she hurried over to the bed."Little lemon, Mommy's here."With sleepy eyes, Lemon kicked the blanket and whimpered in bed, wanting her mother to hold her.Mable picked up the child, gently comforting her. "Don't cry, my little Lemon."The familiar scent of her mother's body made Lemon feel incredibly safe. She grabbed onto her mother's clothes with her tiny, soft hands, and soon, her crying stopped.M
Mable looked at the jade pendant hanging around Lemon's neck. It was a gift from Rory when she turned one."Little Lemon, call me godfather." Rory teased, teaching her. "Say, godfather."Holding onto Rory's tie, Lemon burped and nodded, saying, "Mm-hmm."Both Adam and Mable chuckled.Rory smirked, poking Lemon's soft cheek. "I asked you to call me godfather, not the other way round."Noticing the bruise on Rory's wrist, Mable inquired, "What happened to your hand? Are you injured?"Rory glanced at it and casually replied, "Dealing with a lunatic lately, always causing trouble."Raising an eyebrow, Mable asked, "Lunatic?"Mable let it go when seeing Rory's reluctance to share more."Did you finish the medicine I gave you last time?" Rory asked Mable.Mable nodded, not too concerned. "Yes, I finished it."After playing with Lemon, Rory handed her to Jeremiah and turned to Mable."Show me your hand; let me take a look," Rory instructed Mable.Mable grabbed a pillow, placed it
The next day, Mable went to the hospital for a blood test, but the results would not be available until the following day. As she left the hospital, a woman accidentally bumped into her."Watch where you’re going! Mable?" The woman, named Olivia, stared at Mable in shock and took a step back.Mable looked at the frightened woman before her and was somewhat puzzled. "Do you know me?"She did not recognize this woman, but it seemed like the woman knew her and was quite afraid of her.Olivia stared at Mable in disbelief and hesitated momentarily before asking, "You don't remember me?"Mable shook her head slightly and asked, "Who are you?"Olivia smiled faintly and bowed slightly, saying, "I'm sorry, I must have mistaken you for someone else. I bumped into you earlier, and I apologize for that."Mable did not pay much attention and continued her way.Watching Mable walk away, Olivia's eyes revealed a hidden anger. She was sure that Mable would not recognize her, but this woman
As a family who did not originate in Italee but settled for over thirty years, the Mullers were the only one that had penetrated the Italee capital circle and held a significant position in the business field. Many had heard about the Mullers finding their long-lost daughter, but she had never appeared publicly, sparking curiosity about Mable.Mable accompanied Jeremiah tonight, and they instantly attracted everyone's attention. Mable wore an off-the-shoulder black evening gown, showcasing her curves. Her makeup was exquisite, and her curled hair cascaded like seaweed on her shoulders. Overall, her attire was low-key yet exuded luxury.Walking arm in arm with Jeremiah, Mable elegantly held a glass of drink. Jeremiah introduced Mable to friends who had good relations with the Mullers. Mable politely exchanged greetings, displaying poise and grace.Not particularly fond of such occasions, Jeremiah noticed Mable's lack of enthusiasm. He let her rest on the side after introducing her to
