Judy didn't ask if there was a drug in the water, but instead affirmed that there must be. This affirmative language led Layla to subconsciously follow Judy's topic of who gave her the drug and who was behind it, forgetting to deny if there was indeed a drug in the water. In her mind, she had already admitted that there was a drug in the water.This was the art of language.Seeing Hogan beaten up like this and even Amelia being more restrained in front of Judy's husband, Layla realized that Judy's husband was a significant figure that she couldn't afford to offend. She couldn't afford to offend either Amelia or Judy. Layla instinctively looked at Amelia, who said in a guilty conscience, "Layla, think carefully before you speak. What's the situation? You accompanied Judy for this reception. Who put the drug in it?"Amelia's words were clearly meant to intimidate Layla from speaking the truth.Layla fearfully asked Judy, "If I tell the truth, will you forgive me? I had no other choice,
In the Royal Estate, Lewis deliberately locked Amelia and Layla in a room together, securing the doors and windows. Sure enough, as soon as the door was locked, there was movement inside.Inside the room, Amelia managed to stand up from her wheelchair and immediately slapped Layla across the face, "Whore, who gave you the nerve to blabber in front of Lewis? I'll tear your mouth apart."Amelia, with her obsessive, spoiled, and arrogant personality, would instantly lash out with violence and profanity whenever she was displeased.Layla didn't dare to fight back and could only endure Amelia's blows and curses. Her hair was yanked out in patches, and her head was bleeding profusely. But Amelia didn't let up, continuing to pinch Layla relentlessly.Layla screamed in pain, but Amelia glared at her fiercely, "Dare to make a sound, and I'll kill you once we're out of here."Layla bit her tongue and endured the pain as Amelia unleashed her fury. Soon, Layla's entire body was covered in bruises
The scream was Layla, who could no longer endure Amelia's torment.Layla's face was swollen, her mouth was bleeding, her hair was disheveled, and a large clump of hair lay on the ground, roots bloodied.A large patch of Layla's scalp had been torn off, blood dripping, a sight that was horrifying.Layla's clothes were also torn.Perona, witnessing the scene, was stunned.The one who had assaulted Layla was her own daughter, Amelia.Amelia's face wore an expression of excitement, as if she was possessed."Amelia," Perona called out, her voice trembling, "How have you become like this, how could you do this?"Perona stepped forward to pull Amelia away. She glanced at Layla, who was cowering in the corner, trembling and crying, and felt heartbroken, almost unable to bear the sight.Seeing Perona arrive, Amelia's mind cleared a bit. She had been too excited just now; it had been a long time since she had abused someone like this.Before Amelia returned, she had formed cliques at school and
Lewis explained the situation in broad strokes to Perona. Perona listened with wide eyes, finding it hard to believe. She immediately turned to Amelia and demanded angrily, "Did you do this?"Amelia hesitated for a few seconds before replying, "…No, Mom, I really don't know what's going on. I heard that Judy and Hogan were arguing, so I went to see. They're accusing me of drugging, but it seems like Judy seduced Hogan and was caught, deliberately framing me."She glared at Judy, "Judy, why did you and Layla frame me? You're just jealous because I fired you. I can even suspect that Ellie's sabotage was your doing. You and Ellie were close in the company. Now you're making Layla accuse me. You're too malicious."Judy couldn't help but laugh at Amelia's wild accusations. Before Judy could say anything, Lewis gently patted her back, signaling her to leave it to him. Judy then remained silent.Lewis tapped his finger idly on his palm, staring at Amelia, "I gave you two chances, and you did
Perona looked at the unrepentant Amelia and then at Lewis, caught between a rock and a hard place. She didn't want to send her daughter to jail, but she also had to provide an explanation to Lewis and Judy. If her solution didn't satisfy Lewis, Amelia would end up in jail that night.After pondering, Perona said, "Lewis, it's true that Amelia was in the wrong and caused harm to Judy tonight."Looking at Judy, who held the power in the situation, Perona continued, "Judy, the harm Amelia caused you tonight will be compensated. Amelia's behavior was preposterous, and she should own up to her mistakes. I won't favor anyone; the matter should be handled as it should be." Perona steeled herself and said, "Call the police. It will also serve as a lesson for Amelia."Everyone present, including Lewis, was taken aback. Judy and Louis hesitated, finding it hard to believe.Amelia screamed hysterically, "Mom, I'm your daughter. Are you going to send me to jail? Have you lost your mind? Am I even
Lewis approached Judy, raising his hand to smooth her hair, "Everyone has to pay the price for their own mistakes." As he spoke, his hand moved slowly towards the bottom of Judy's hip...The next day.Judy didn't have to go to the company anymore. After the incident, how could she still work at Meike Group?She sent a resignation letter to Perona's email. Perona agreed. Judy was Lewis's wife, and with such a scandal, it would only cause Judy more trouble if she stayed. Perona readily agreed and even added an additional six months' salary from her personal account as compensation for Judy.Judy had to admit that Perona was very considerate and had a broad perspective. After sending Amelia to the police station, she didn't cause any more trouble for Judy.Judy was unemployed this time. She pondered Lewis's words about entrepreneurship.Judy planned to open a pizza shop. She loved pizza and had always dreamed of owning a pizza shop and being her own boss. Now, this dream was within reach
Judy arrived at the hospital in a hurry to see the weak and emaciated John on the hospital bed, and she was taken aback.It was only a short time since they had last seen each other, how did John lose so much weight?John, upon seeing Judy, appeared confused: "Judy, what are you doing here?"John had fainted on the street and was taken to the hospital. The emergency contact on his phone was Judy, so the hospital called her.The doctor was giving John an IV drip, and Judy walked in to ask, "Doctor, what's wrong with my friend?"Judy didn't ask John directly; he wouldn't tell the truth anyway.The doctor said, "The patient is severely anemic and malnourished, and overwork led to a coma. Young people can't take this kind of abuse; they must prioritize rest and nutrition."The words "severe anemia" and "malnutrition" were so unexpected that Judy was taken aback. They had both been orphans who struggled to go to school and make their way in society; they had never experienced malnutrition.
As the blood donation certificate fell out, John's face showed a mix of panic and embarrassment. He hadn't picked it up in time, and Judy had already done so. Seeing the blood donation information on it, Judy's tears instantly fell."Judy, I..." John was terrified of seeing Judy cry; he was at a loss.Judy embraced him, a hug between family members. She was heartbroken to see what his parents had reduced John to—selling blood and delivering food. No wonder he was severely anemic and malnourished!"John, you silly fool." Judy hit his back in frustration.This scene was unfortunately caught by Susan, who had arrived just in time to see it. Susan, who John had contacted, didn't enter but hid at the door and took photos with her phone.Remembering the time she called Judy for help and was rudely hung up on, Susan's resentment grew even stronger.In the hospital room, Judy released John and said, "You're not allowed to go back there. You're trying to drive me crazy. Let's go, I'll take you
Serina subconsciously glanced at Lewis, who was standing in front of Judy's tombstone. Could it be for him?During these days, Lewis had been very quiet, and his daily routine was to perform the funeral rites for Judy and accompany her on her final journey.He no longer shed tears, but he also had no smile, as if he were just an empty shell.People lined up to offer flowers in their hands, stood in silence in front of Judy's grave for a few seconds, and then walked away, one after another. The funeral lasted until 10 o'clock in the morning.Lewis unexpectedly spoke, addressing his grandmother, "Grandma, let everyone go back. I'll stay here a little longer to keep Judy company."He hadn't spoken for a long time, and when Lewis finally did, his voice was extremely hoarse, and it had changed a bit.The grandmother's eyes were moist, and she nodded in agreement, asking Antonio to see the relatives and friends off.People gradually left, and in the end, only a few people, including Serena,
The helicopter arrived in Birmingham and landed in the backyard of Lewis's villa, where Lewis disembarked carrying the urn."Judy, we're home," he whispered softly, his tone gentle.The others also got off the helicopter, and Antonio, who had already received the news, had prepared a memorial hall at home.After a year, Judy finally returned, but in such a manner.Antonio was waiting at home, and it was only when he saw Lewis holding the urn and getting off the helicopter that he truly believed Judy had passed away, and what Isabella had said on the phone was true.Soon after,The news of Judy's death spread, shocking everyone. How could someone who was fine before suddenly pass away?In the eyes of outsiders, Judy was a person who had survived a shipwreck.Steven also received the news and quickly went to Lewis's house.A memorial hall was set up, with a coffin placed in the hall, and Judy's urn was placed inside the coffin.Lewis invited high monks to perform a funeral service for J
As Hannah said, even if it was a heart-wrenching pain, Lewis would still want to listen. He wanted to know what Judy experienced before her death.Hannah continued, "Judy was afraid of dying because she couldn't bear to leave you and Angel, but we did our best, and the doctors were helpless. She didn't want to die in the hospital; it seemed she was very averse to hospitals. After the doctor said there was no hope, she asked us to take her away, so I took her home, and she passed away in the attic room...""At that time, I promised her to fulfill her last wishes. She couldn't let go of you and Angel, so I went to your side, impersonated Judy, and took care of you and Angel in her place. But I couldn't do it, and in the end, I chose to make you dislike me, to give up on the marriage voluntarily."Hannah paused for a moment and gave a bitter smile, "Judy died when you loved her the most. You will never be able to let go of her for the rest of your life. Judy thought that if you didn't lo
Hannah was worried and wanted to find Lewis.She called the grandmother and only then learned that Lewis was hospitalized in the hospital next door.Taking advantage of the fact that neither Kim nor Guy were in the hospital, Hannah removed the IV needle from the back of her hand and was about to sneak out.However, just as she stepped out of the room, Kim returned from outside: "Sister, where are you going?""I..." Hannah stammered.Kim immediately guessed: "You want to find Lewis? I forbid you to go. You just had surgery. What are you going to do looking for Lewis? He already knows you're not Judy. If he gets angry and hurts you, what then?"Hannah said, "But I can't hide either. Lewis is ill, and everything is because of me. I should go. I owe it to Judy.""You don't owe anyone anything. Judy couldn't have been saved anyway. Even if you hadn't used Judy's heart, someone else would have," Kim said, "Anyway, I won't let you go.""Kim, why are you so heartless?" Hannah got angry, "Judy
Many children nowadays actually understand that the dead are buried beneath the graves.Angel opened her big eyes, which were clear and naive.Such a look, who wouldn't feel heartache upon seeing it?Lewis forced himself to sit up, leaning against the tombstone, his hand stroking it, not knowing how to explain to his daughter.Angel looked at Louis again, "Who is underneath this?"Louis really didn't know how to answer. He glanced at Lewis.Angel's gaze then shifted to Avery, wanting an answer from him.But no one had the heart to tell Angel such a cruel answer.Just when everyone found it hard to speak, Angel reached out her small hand to touch the tombstone and asked softly, "Is my mother buried here?"Angel's words shocked the three of them. How did Angel know?Could it be that there is truly a mother-daughter connection?Seeing that the adults were all silent, Angel suddenly burst into tears, "Mommy, it's mommy, I want my mommy."Angel cried her heart out, and Lewis held his daugh
When a person is at their most helpless and desperate, they hope for miracles, they wish for time to go back.The rain continued to fall, and the temperature at night was very low, so cold that it made people shiver.Lewis lay on the grave like a walking corpse, devoid of any vitality.Louis walked over with an umbrella and held it above his head: "Boss, don't do this. If Judy sees you like this from heaven, she will be upset."Lewis's eyes were open, but it was as if he couldn't see or hear anything. He didn't care about anything or listen to anyone. He just wanted to be closer to Judy by staying close to the grave.God couldn't hear his hysterical cries or see his heart-wrenching pain."Boss," Louis crouched down and persuaded him, "The rain is getting heavier, let's go back first."Lewis's eyes slightly shifted, finally finding a focal point: "Judy is afraid of the cold and the dark. I can't leave her alone here. I need to accompany her.""Boss, I know you're in a lot of pain, but
Isabella's face showed sadness, "Lewis definitely can't handle it. How can a person endure the loss of their loved one twice?"Isn't that like rubbing salt into a wound?"If he can get through this, then we won't have to worry in the future. But if he can't..." The grandmother didn't finish her sentence.Everyone knew the implications of what could happen....Cemetery.The dimly lit cemetery was quite eerie, and someone with a timid nature would probably be terrified to visit.The weather changed abruptly, and a light drizzle began to fall.Lewis, with Judy on his mind, stumbled towards Judy's tombstone after getting out of the car.There were only a few lamps in the cemetery, and one of them happened to be pointing in the direction of Judy's tombstone, making it easy for Lewis to find it at once."Judy, Judy!"Lewis was too eager and overwhelmed with grief. When he saw Judy's tombstone, the sorrow in his heart surged like a floodgate being opened, pouring out. He was walking too qui
The grandmother sighed, "Lewis found out about Judy's passing and couldn't bear the blow.""Lewis knows?" Serina was astonished, "And you all knew too?"Louis was surprised, "Serina, you knew about it early on?"Serina was among the first to know."Yes, Hannah told me before," Serina said, "I was worried that Lewis wouldn't be able to handle it, so I didn't dare to tell him. How did he find out?""Paper can't wrap up fire," Louis said, "Once Hannah fell and was hospitalized, it was impossible to keep it a secret.""Then when Lewis went out just now..." Serina immediately became worried, "What if something happens to him, or he gets the wrong idea?"Avery said, "He probably went to the cemetery to see Judy."The grandmother quickly said, "Louis, go to the cemetery right away and keep an eye on him. Don't let him do anything foolish.""Okay, grandma, don't worry, I'll go there now," Louis assured her.Louis and Avery went together.Serina took the grandmother back to the hotel first, wh
Lewis was emotionally out of control, looking at Hannah's face, he wished he could peel off her skin.That was the face of his wife.He wished he could dig out her heart, for it belonged to his wife.Hannah was unworthy, unworthy of possessing everything that belonged to Judy.If it weren't for this heart, how could he have been deceived and confused, mistaking Hannah for his wife? All the familiarity that Hannah gave him was because of this heart.Angel recognized Hannah as her mother, and that was also because of this heart.In Lewis's eyes, Hannah was the murderer, one of those responsible for Judy's death.Hannah did not defend herself; she knew that Lewis was in a state of rage and would not listen to anything.No one could accept such a thing.Lewis wanted to strangle Hannah, but looking at that face, he couldn't bring himself to do it; it was no different from killing Judy himself.The people outside the room couldn't see what was happening inside, but they could hear it.Reali
