"Didn't the doctor say Mom should complete the full three-year treatment?" Abby asked.

Zane Cromwell chuckled. "Your mom misses you terribly. She hasn’t been sleeping well lately and just wants to see you. Besides, how could we miss our little sunshine’s birthday?"

Seeing Abby always improved his wife’s condition—it wasn’t without reason.

Fate could be strange like that.

Even their birth dates were exactly the same as Amelia’s.

Looking at the face that resembled his wife’s so much, Zane's tone softened. "Abby, I’ve heard about what’s been happening in New York lately. I’ll have a proper talk with your grandfather. No matter what, we can’t let an outsider make our own child suffer."

"Dad, you’ve misunderstood Grandpa," Abby smiled sheepishly. "Honestly, it was Aunt Ashford who’s been with me for so long that she couldn't stand seeing me mistreated. She was rude to the little doctor Grandpa trusts. Grandpa teaching me a lesson was only fair."

She hesitated for a moment before adding wor

    "When will my grandpa treat me like this?" Henry stared at the order sheet, feeling genuinely envious.Amelia quickly skimmed through the document, her voice indifferent. "Your pricing is too high.""But, Boss, didn’t you say our custom designs should be positioned as high-end? If we don’t charge the rich a premium, won’t they think we’re underestimating their wealth?" Henry was confused. This was completely different from the market strategy Amelia had analyzed before.Amelia casually tied up her long hair. "Do you think the Cromwell family is just any ordinary customer?""Then… how about an 8.8% discount?" Henry probed.Amelia washed her face lazily, her features sharp and refined, skin as fair as snow. "90% off. Buy jewelry, get custom clothing for free.""Huh?" Henry was in disbelief, almost suspecting something had possessed his boss. But he didn’t dare question further.Even at a 90% discount, the deal would still bring in several million!After quoting the price, Henry muttered

    “It’s really not an exaggeration!” Henry, a natural intelligence gatherer and an avid gossip enthusiast, sighed. “The the Cromwell family is insanely rich, but honestly, boss, it’s a good thing you turned out to be their long-lost daughter. If it were anyone else, they wouldn’t last a day in that place—it’s practically a dragon’s den.”Amelia’s voice was indifferent. “Enough about that. How’s the investigation going?”“Mr. Whitlock from LA—his family has been in the antique business for three generations.” Henry’s fingers flew over the keyboard. “That’s his public identity, of course. But in reality, his grandfather was likely part of the Southern Tomb Raiders. Word is, he went on several expeditions back in the day. By the time the business passed down to Dale Ayesa, the family had completely transformed into high-profile antique dealers. They’re known for handling artifacts that others wouldn’t dare touch. Over the years, their business expanded internationally, and now, all the maj

    The more Mr. Cromwell listened, the tighter his grip became on his dragon-head cane.Meanwhile, Zane remained oblivious to his mistake and continued, “Dad, Genevieve and I have discussed this. It’s not fair to leave Abby in this awkward position forever. Why don’t we hold a family meeting soon and officially adopt her in front of our relatives? What do you think?”“No.” Mr. Cromwell’s voice was dangerously cold, his fingers nearly crushing the cane. His sharp eyes narrowed. “Have you forgotten that you have a biological daughter?”At the mention of his real daughter, Zane’s body stiffened. His voice turned hoarse. “Dad, it’s been so many years… Amelia… can she really still be found? What if she’s already…”“Shut up!” Mr. Cromwell’s chest heaved with anger. “How did I end up with such an ungrateful son like you?!”Bang!He slammed the phone down, but his breathing remained heavy.On the other end, Zane sat on the sofa for a long time, lost in thought.It wasn’t that he wanted just anyo

    Mr. Cromwell made no effort to hide his thoughts and burst into hearty laughter. “Amelia, come here! Look what Grandpa has prepared for you. These diced meat buns—you used to love them when you were little! As for your brothers, they’re thick-skinned and have their own careers. Now that they know you’ve been found, they’re overjoyed! Do you really think they’d fight their youngest sister over anything? That would be disgraceful.”“I can vouch for that—Mr. Cromwell is telling the truth.” Secretary Frank spoke up at just the right moment. “Benjamin woke up and insisted on seeing Miss Amelia. If the doctors hadn’t stopped him, he would’ve pulled out his IV and come running.”Mr. Cromwell nodded. “Your Fifth Brother would probably be the first to support me in handing the company to you. When you were little, he loved carrying you around everywhere. And your Sixth Brother—he’s still out there filming, saving up for your dowry.”“Grandpa.” Amelia listened to the old man’s words and handed

    At this moment, inside the ICU of the county hospital—Benjamin took a deep breath.The whole world has met my little sister.Yet, I’m the only one who still hasn’t seen her!He turned to look at Edgar. “Uncle Monroe, didn’t Grandpa think about bringing my sister to visit me?”“The Chairman did come by, but you were still asleep, Benjamin.” Edgar handed him a freshly peeled apple. “According to Secretary Frank, the Chairman’s old illness flared up, and Miss Amelia is currently treating him.”Benjamin, his shoulder still wrapped in bandages, frowned. His handsome face darkened slightly. “I need some treatment too.”Edgar chuckled and lowered his voice. “The Chairman finally got Miss Amelia back. You should wait a little longer. In a few days, he’ll remember you exist.”Benjamin sneered. “Grandpa hasn’t changed a bit.”Edgar smiled without saying a word.Benjamin’s tone carried a deeper meaning. “But this might actually be a good thing. At least it’ll make some people realize who the re

    "Carl is with Little Sister?" The lawyer brother wasn’t so easy to fool. "His broken engagement has been the talk of New York. What’s he doing there now?"Benjamin pressed his thin lips together. "Not sure. But he said Little Sister is his girlfriend.""What?!" The group chat exploded."Who even does that?!""Hey, Big Star, tell us—what kind of logic does your boss have?""How did Little Sister suddenly become his girlfriend?"The brothers immediately turned their focus on Cromwell the star.As the youngest brother, Cromwell the star had been silent this whole time—he was busy searching for plane tickets.Little Sister had been found, so as her brother, he had to be the first to go pick her up!His stylist was still admiring his flawless skin.

    The man's porcelain-white fingers paused slightly.Amelia leaned closer to his face, her black-and-white eyes clear and sharp, her voice crisp. "I've known you for so long. Back when I first met you in the hospital, I assumed your surname was Cromwell.""Thinking back now, something doesn’t add up.""You can make my eldest brother listen to you, and Mr. Hart personally accompanied you to the hospital.""That’s not something only the Cromwell family could do.""The Jenkins family could do it even more easily."Her gaze dropped to his wrist. "You always wear those calming prayer beads. I should’ve realized who you were much earlier."The man held onto her gently, letting out a soft cough. His lips were pale. "I thought I could keep it from you. I'm sorry."His face was strikingly handsome. Without glasses, he looked both harmless and refined. But when the wind touched him, he carried a forbidden, untouchable beauty. "I didn’t expect you’d still figure it out.""Carl." The man’s smile wa

    The golden Buddha’s light shone down, making the two small figures feel as if they were falling into a sea of fire. Instinctively, they raised their hands to shield their faces.But before they could react, someone was faster—grabbing Road Person No. 1 and ruthlessly yanking off the jade pendant!“You truly never repent.” Amelia clenched his throat, her dark eyes fathomless and chilling.Road Person No. 1’s face turned blue, his feet dangling in the air. He was on the verge of suffocation.He knew—she genuinely wanted to kill him.Panic-stricken, he choked out a desperate plea, “I… I was wrong… I…”“Too late.” The moment Amelia uttered those two words, the corridor’s malevolent energy thickened.Suddenly, a crisp and childlike voice called out, “Big Sister, let it go.”Amelia loosened her grip slightly and looked down.A tiny figure clutched at the hem of her clothes. “If you kill him, you’ll go to jail. We don’t want you to go to jail.”The slightly taller child nodded. “Big Sister,

    Amelia withdrew the warding charm and the purple aura swirled in her palm:"Some parents only want sons, not daughters, so they can discard and sell their daughters anytime. Some fathers, after cheating, will push their children off a building just because the mistress says, 'Unless those two burdens are dead, I won't be with you.'" "If the Heavenly Zen truly exists, it should open its eyes and see this." "Stop talking about human principles." "They only want justice, not to be called evil spirits." "Master, who do you think is truly evil?"Master Cloudwalker, his hair as white as snow, paused and seemed to be contemplating, as if the vastness of Zenism was weighing on him.There were those who had once opened the gates of heaven with a single strike, and there were those who gained enlightenment in a single night.He didn’t go downstairs, instead sitting on the spot. His silence was an answer to Amelia.At the same time.Person #1 had opened his eyes. He saw two tiny figures approach

    "Fortune."Amelia spoke as she supported herself against the staircase railing behind him. A kiss landed on his lips.The two of them were perfectly matched in height, their faces beautiful in different ways: his cold and abstinent, hers seductive and wild, together exuding an intoxicating aura.The guy who had been chasing after them to catch people, widened his eyes in shock!Was this how the favored ones of Heaven used their luck?The guy exclaimed: "Master!""What are you shouting for? Protect Carl."Master Cloudwalker was so absorbed in his thoughts of breaking the formation that he barely noticed the disturbance. "Don’t let the evil spirits near him."He shouted, "Does kissing count?"Kissing?Master Cloudwalker, who had finally found Malina, was about to cast a spell when he heard the shout.For a moment, he even doubted himself.Had he made a mistake?Could the real evil spirit be downstairs?Otherwise, who would dare kiss the young master of the Jenkins family?!While Master

    This made Person #1, freeze. His grip loosened.Only then did Carl’s gaze shift over. His face, handsome and noble, didn’t match the chaotic scene at all."The killer is so vicious. How did you manage to escape?"The little Zen thought for a moment and agreed. "The formation hasn’t been broken, how could you come and go freely inside it?"Could he be another one of Heaven’s favored ones?!These Heaven’s favored ones seemed to come in bulk and didn’t even care about money!The little Zen, who hadn’t experienced much of the secular world, immediately shouted: "Master!"Master Cloudwalker didn’t have time to deal with his disciple. His feet moved quickly as he rushed to the second floor, towards the most vengeful and dangerous aura.Seeing this, Ted thought of making his escape, but the person who looked like a noble young master blocked his path, elegant and refined."Which room on the second floor has the criminal? Can you show us the way?""There’s a killer in there!"Was this person

    On the second floor of the hospital, in a dim room,Person #3 seemed to enjoy the attention. He tilted his head and looked at the camera with a manic expression."I heard this show is really popular.""Then, there must be a lot of people watching, right?""Let me go, or these so-called high-and-mighty stars will accompany me in death. I won’t be bored!"Morgan couldn’t handle it any longer. He stared desperately at Sebastian, hoping he could save him.But to his surprise, Amelia stepped forward, blocking his view of Sebastian. It was as if she didn’t care about Morgan at all. Instead, she glanced at Person #3 and said, "It seems like you’re not the one the twins are looking for."Person #3 didn’t expect such calmness while he was threatening with a knife."You, new actor, your acting isn’t bad."Person #3 sneered coldly. "Stop talking about the twins. I don’t have much patience. Whoever you are, go contact the program team, or…"Before he could finish,Amelia moved in a flash, her han

    Morgan didn’t dare to resist at all.Person #3 truly looked down on him. He raised a knife and pointed it at Sebastian."Want to save someone? Then tell the production team to stop playing these games. I don’t care how you perform, the police are already outside. Do you think I’m blind? You think by creating a ghost story you can trick the police into capturing me?""Dream on." Person #3 dragged Morgan and walked into the camera frame."I’ll say my demands only once. Don’t come in.""From now on, if anyone comes within a step of this room, I’ll kill one hostage!"Outside, the production team was in chaos.Director Jordan, seeing Carl had already entered the building, shouted:"Who brought this person in?!""I, I…" An intern, adjusting his glasses, stammered: "His resume clearly said he was a doctor. I saw he could perform surgeries. I thought…"The action team had already assembled and was in position."Attention, the criminal has a knife. Repeat, the criminal has a knife. Be careful

    At this moment in the hospital, Malina seemed to sense something and suddenly lifted her head!"Sister, someone’s coming!"Malina’s face changed drastically, and she glared at Amelia viciously. “There’s divine fortune in the sky! It’s the person you called!”"You lied to us!" Malina was starting to lose control. "Even you lied to us!"Malina tried to reach out to strangle Amelia, but when her hand touched Amelia’s neck, she paused.Amelia didn’t dodge; she simply stood there, her voice calm. “If you really can’t remember what they look like, it’s either Person #1 or Person #3. You choose.”"What?" Malina stopped short.Amelia’s gaze was deep. “I told you earlier, I’ll teach you how to play the adults’ game. The person can’t be one of the celebrity guests, so it’s simple: they’re a background guest.”“Looking at their faces, Person #3 looks more menacing.” Amelia calmly analyzed. “The middle-aged man also fits the fatherly role. I wasn’t sure earlier, but now that someone’s here, if yo

    Malina shook, as if something had triggered her memory. Her eyes were unfocused.Amelia’s voice continued: "Because of the many inconsistencies, some speculate that after the couple had a son, they felt that raising two daughters was a burden.""Of course, this hasn’t been confirmed. After the incident, the couple hurriedly moved with their son to another city.""Their reason was that they were worried about media interference.""Strangely, the father refused an autopsy, and the mother avoided the topic altogether. Not a single detail was out of place, but they did receive a large compensation from the manufacturer.""The manufacturer even conducted an experiment, and it showed that it was impossible for two such large children to fall into a washing machine at the same time.
