Anna sat at the outdoor table, the smile on her face slowly fading.

She gently touched her belly.

She had never expected to have a child because it was her own choice.

Robert Wright's infertility was just a coincidence.

If Robert Wright had the ability to conceive, she couldn't... or rather, wouldn't get pregnant.

She had never told Shirley these things.

Some things are best left unsaid.

Saying too much could easily hurt the other person.

And at this moment, the little life growing inside her seemed to be declaring war on her past.

Anna's smile became more bitter.

She didn't dare to face the Moore family, to face her past.

Even though more than twenty years had passed, the past was so vivid, clear as day.

Anna didn't know if she could escape the layout of the past, hanging on by a thread.

    "The Moore family has a history of more than four hundred years, you know that. In the early days of the Moore family's founding, the first family head's wife was a stargazer, yes, just like your grandmother. Her divination abilities were exceptional, and because of her divination, the Moore family avoided significant upheavals time and time again. So, every once in a while, the Moore family would marry a stargazer as a wife, to avoid various risks.""Astrology is a very mysterious technique, I feel ashamed that I haven't fully unraveled this secret. But I have to admit, the reason the Moore family has been safe and sound is closely related to the ancestral stargazers. When it came to your grandmother's generation, she predicted a crisis facing the Moore family. One of these crises included the arrival of the 1111th generation descendants. Yes, you and Susan are the 1111th generation descendants.""This number has been passed down to your generation, indicating a great disaster. The M

Shirley had already guessed it would come to this.And so it did.Since Old Mrs. Moore had cleverly forced her to return to the Moore family, she would inevitably have to take on responsibilities that were not originally hers!Could the price be the one Keith mentioned… that price?Shirley couldn't help but turn to look at Keith, but could only see his towering figure."The price is… cutting ties with the Nelson family," Mr. Moore said solemnly. "According to astrology, the Moore family and the Nelson family will become mortal enemies. The first thing you must do when you return to the Moore family is… divorce Keith.""Wh

    In her room, Shirley was being taken care of by Alan as she lay on the bed, but she couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard she tried.Seeing Shirley looking troubled, Alan suggested, "If you can't sleep, why not go online or read a book, Madam?"Shirley shook her head, feeling unsettled in her heart.She had a nagging feeling that something was about to happen.Yet, she couldn't figure out what it was.Why was it like this?Wasn't her sixth sense always strong?Feeling a sense of impending doom without any clue was simply frustrating.Sending everyone else out, Shirley kept Alan alone with her."Alan, I have a question for you." With no one else to talk to, Shirley turned to Alan as Tina was busy and Camille was back in City F, too busy to chat."Well, Madam, go ahead," Alan responded eagerly."If your boyfriend had a conflict with your family, whose side would you take?" Shirley cautiously asked Alan, "You love your boyfriend very much, but if your family strongly opposes your relat

The doctor frowned, "But if she has a daughter your age, why is she having her first high-risk pregnancy now?""I'm adopted, she's not my biological mother," Shirley explained, "But our family situation is indeed a bit complicated. Doctor, what exactly is wrong with my mom's body?"The doctor sighed and said, "Complications arose during the operation, now there are signs of overall physiological decline. The specific cause has not been identified yet. During the surgery, she adamantly refused to have anyone accompany her. After the operation, when her condition worsened, we forcibly turned on her phone. There were only two contacts, but the on

    Old Mrs. Moore tiredly stated, "The Moore family owes the Davis Family, and no matter how many years have passed, this debt must be repaid. I have told you what you need to know. As for what to do, you'll have to figure it out yourself. I'm a bit tired, you can leave now."Shirley silently nodded, picked up the medication that Old Mrs. Moore had handed her, and turned to leave.By the time Shirley stepped out, the sky had turned completely dark.Taking a deep breath, Shirley let her assistant Alan drape a thick coat over her and instructed, "Go to the hospital, have the composition of this medication analyzed by the chief physician, and then have my mother take it.""What kind of medication is this?" Alan couldn't help but ask curiously."It's just a medication to temporarily delay weakness," Shirley didn't believe the medication would have a significant effect, just slowing down the deterioration temporarily.As expected, the chief physician quickly sent Shirley the results of the an

    In the season of heavy snow in the north, here, the flowers were still blooming warmly.Shirley took a deep breath and continued walking forward.Not far along, someone would greet Shirley.Shirley just nodded slightly and didn't reply.With every step Shirley took, her resolve solidified.When Shirley reached the true entrance of the cemetery, she raised her head to see Old Mrs. Moore kneeling in front of numerous spirit tablets."Kneel, these are the ancestors of the Moore family." Old Mrs. Moore heard the footsteps behind her, and without looking up, she continued, "The ancestors of the Moore family, I have brought the 1111th generation of the Moore family descendants here!"Without a second thought, Shirley slowly knelt before the cushion prepared by others, following Old Mrs. Moore's etiquette, and performed a full bow."Now that you've returned, you should change your surname."

    After stomping out the cigarette butt on the floor, Lillian picked up the cup intending to take a sip, only to find it empty.Anxiously, she put the cup down and paced around the room.This shabby motel was tucked away in a corner of the old town, notorious for its crime and violence.Lillian really didn't want to be here, but she couldn't think of a better option for hiding out.The big hotels required ID registration, and she didn't want to risk being recognized, especially looking as disheveled as she did, with her scruffy appearance.She couldn't even bear to see herself like this, let alone others.This morning, while washing her face, she felt a lump in her throat, a sign that it might protrude again.This discovery made her extremely uneasy.In order to expedite the surgery and achieve the desired effect, she opted for a conservative procedure, leaving part of the Adam's apple intact.In other words, if her testosterone levels rose again, surpassing the estrogen in her body, sh

    Shirley saw the flowers Simon had sent her blooming beautifully, and her mind wandered to the scene of Susan meeting Simon.Then, Shirley couldn't help but sigh.These days, Simon had been quite active in this circle, reminding everyone of Mr. Simon's presence.Hopefully, he could recover smoothly from Susan's death blow soon.Lost in thought, Shirley heard the doorbell ring.Naturally, someone went to open it, while Shirley stayed put.Lately, she noticed she was becoming lazier—moving only when necessary.Soon, Janet came over with a box, smiling as she said to Shirley, "This is from the Smith family, probably more flowers from Mr. Simon."These days, Simon had been sending over many flowers from his greenhouse.Thankfully, they had a dedicated gardener to tend to them, and a large enough greenhouse to store them. Otherwise, there wouldn't be enough space for all these flowers.You see, even a random potted flower would cost tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars!These were all S

    Well, Lillian would if she could!She felt all numb now!She could only look at Evan with pleading eyes, hoping he would spare her considering she had given him her first time.Sure enough, Evan caught Lillian's plea and immediately said, "Hannah, that's enough. You must be tired from all the hitting, be careful of the baby in your stomach."Hannah stopped immediately as Evan spoke.Shirley and Tina were once again speechless in shock.What a nice way Hannah turned things around!Indeed, Hannah must have been tired; hitting someone was physically exhausting!Hannah pointed at Lillian, accusingly saying, "You heartless creature, I considered you my friend, and you slept with my husband!"Shirley touched her nose; why did that line sound so familiar?Despite Lillian being physically numb, her mouth could still talk. However, the voice sounded oddly off."Hannah, do you think I don't know how you got pregnant?" Lillian's face was swollen from Hannah's hits, and coupled with her hoarse vo

    Keith nodded, "You do understand my style and methods. Indeed, anyone who dares to target the Nelson family won't survive more than three days. I spared your life for a reason. You haven't disappointed me; you've smoothly resolved the trouble I wanted to get rid of."Lillian was trembling even more violently, "You...you...""Lillian, you've got some nerve! You actually wanted to lay a finger on the Nelson family's influence in Europe. Should I praise your bravery, or mock your stupidity?" Keith sighed lightly, "You thought getting enough shares would let you meddle in Europe? That's incredibly amusing!"Lillian glared fiercely at Keith, her voice becoming even hoarser, lacking the sweetness and clarity it once had. Instead, it sounded like a cracked drum, extremely grating."If you know everything, then do what you will with me!" Lillian gritted her teeth.Despite her words, her eyes kept drifting towards the door, as if waiting for something.Suddenly, Keith chuckled softly."Why wou

    Lillian heard Monica's words and burst out laughing without reservation!"I'm talking nonsense? Monica, can you swear you haven't fallen for Simon?" A strange flush suddenly rose on Lillian's face, letting the cold wind blow against her, but she felt nothing, turning to look at Monica like this. "Yeah, with this scandal, how could you possibly keep it under wraps? You love Simon so much, you went as far as warning Susan, stirring up trouble with Shirley. But no matter how you cover it up, do you think everyone is a fool?"Monica recoiled in fear, frantically trying to explain, "It's just sibling affection...""Enough, save those lies to deceive yourself, stop pretending in front of me." Lillian continued pressing on: "But, I wonder, how would Simon feel if he knew his adoring little sister, who's been in love with him for over a decade, what would be his state of mind?"Monica finally panicked, reaching out to cover Lillian's mouth, but Lillian slapped Monica's hand away, looking at M

    Lillian's words caused the expressions of those around her to subtly change towards Albert.Many people present knew of Albert's background.Despite various disdain towards Mr. Albert, he was still connected to the Nelson family, an entity not to be crossed.Even if Lillian did not like Albert, she dared not openly confront him.Evan, grinning, approached Shirley, "Oh oh, your second brother was hit, as his sister-in-law, are you really going to remain indifferent?""Let's put aside the question of whether I am his sister-in-law, as the host of today's banquet, are you truly going to stay indifferent in the face of such a drama?" Shirley countered Evan.As Evan hesitated about whether to help, a commotion erupted at the entrance.Shirley followed the crowd's gaze. At the villa's entrance, a Rolls-Royce spun elegantly and parked perfectly.A group of well-trained bodyguards formed two rows, the car door opened, and an impeccably dressed figure leisurely got out.Shirley was speechless

    Following Evan's gaze, Shirley turned around and saw Lillian in a white fur coat, wearing a red form-fitting dress underneath.Lillian walked in with a man in his forties on her arm."Lillian changes her man every time she appears," Tina remarked, crossing her arms. "Evan, did you invite her?"Hearing Tina's disdainful tone, Evan quickly replied, "Come on, why would I invite her? She's just a minor character, and doesn't have the qualifications. But the man next to her might be a potential investor tonight. Shirley, do you remember him?"Shirley looked puzzled at Evan, "Why should I remember him?"Evan smirked mischievously, "Because he's Director Alice's ex-husband!""Pfft..." Shirley and Tina both sprayed out the juice in their mouths!Shirley looked incredulous, "No way? Is Director Alice coming tonight as well?"Evan laughed more maliciously, "Yep, Director Alice will be here too! I wonder what it would be like for her to see her ex-husband attending this party with her actresses.
