Bill had previously promoted John due to his friendship with Lewis, but now, even the initial screening had been failed, which did not look like there was any relationship at all.Bill was puzzled: "What exactly is going on? Is it possible that John and Lewis don't have any connection?"The colleague said, "Sir, I just inquired at Kaler Group. Lewis hasn't even married, how can John be his brother-in-law? Moreover, John has been delivering food and I even saw him selling blood at a donation station. He's so short of money that he's reduced himself to this state. How could he possibly know Lewis?"The fact that Lewis was married was not widely known, not even among the company's employees.Hearing this, Bill immediately frowned: "Call John here."……At the same time, at Kaler Group.Lewis had just returned from outside and asked, "Have we found a new legal team yet?"Leo responded, "We have preliminarily screened several, Sir. Take a look at the information."Leo handed over the inform
Leo's words caused John to pause for a moment before he reacted, extending his hand, "Leo, hello, I'm John."Leo smiled and said, "Lewis sent me here. Your law firm has passed the review, and Lewis wants you to handle the communication. However, there is some regret now that you are no longer an employee of this firm. I heard that you were fired just now, so I can only go back and report, and start the process of selecting a new law firm."These words were spoken by Leo intentionally, for Bill's benefit.He was helping John.Bill was already shocked the moment Leo approached John.John was really connected to Kaler Group?Otherwise, how could Lewis have personally requested John to handle the matter?John exclaimed in surprise, "Lewis sent you here?"Bill immediately changed his expression, smiling, "John, that was just a joke between us. This is a good thing, and I knew you could do it. Leo, Lewis has chosen our law firm, right? For the next matters, let John communicate with you. He
Lillian is only two years younger than Perona, but their father only allowed Perona to enter the company, denying Lillian the chance.This was a family rule. Only the eldest child, whether male or female, was entitled to inherit the family business. Children not chosen were not allowed to join Meike Group and had to fend for themselves outside.Their father provided Lillian with an initial capital to start her own business and offered no further assistance.In terms of business acumen, Lillian may not have been as accomplished as Perona, but she was a competitive and ambitious woman with a strong sense of purpose. At fifty years old, she was still unmarried."Alright, I'll go upstairs and check on her. Don't worry," Lillian hurried up the stairs.The door was locked from the inside by Amelia, and Lillian knocked, "Amelia, it's me, open the door quickly."Soon, the door opened.Amelia fell into Lillian's embrace and burst into tears, "Lillian, you're finally back, I've been so mistreat
Amelia is not Perona's daughter but Lillian's. The unfairness of their father's decision filled Lillian with resentment. After Perona gave birth to a daughter, Lillian abducted and abandoned the child, and then, fifteen years later, she had her own biological daughter pose as Perona's daughter and return to Perona's side.At the time Lillian gave birth to Amelia, she had planned to have her child on the same day as Perona to switch the babies, but there was a complication, and her own daughter was actually abducted.As a result, Lillian was even more determined not to let Perona have her way and thus abducted Perona's biological daughter.Over the years, Perona has been searching for her biological daughter, while Lillian has been searching for her own daughter in secret.Lillian's pregnancy was unknown to anyone, both in the outside world and within the family. Lillian has always been single, with no children, in the eyes of both the public and her family.After Perona became pregnan
Amelia was very resistant to learning business and said impatiently, "Aunt Lillian, how come you're just like my mom, always pushing me to do business. We have enough people here, our family has so much money, I have more than enough to spend. All I want to do now is get rid of Judy."These words would drive Lillian mad.Lillian and Perona were both capable people in the business world, but Amelia only cared about eating, drinking, and playing.Lillian: "Amelia, if you want to get rid of Judy, you must have the strength yourself. You just said that Judy is Lewis's wife. Do you think you, with your current capabilities, can touch Judy? Haven't you learned your lesson from the detention center?"Thinking of this lesson, Amelia hated Judy even more.The days in detention were not fit for a human being.Amelia asked: "Then, if I take over Meike Group, can I get rid of Judy?"Lillian said: "With strength, you can definitely do it.""Then I'll go back to the company." Amelia had no interest
Lewis arrived at the pizza shop and saw Judy overseeing the construction work inside. "Let's go for a walk outside, the paint smell in here is too strong for your health," Lewis worriedly suggested."What are you doing here?" Judy asked joyfully upon seeing Lewis.Lewis took her hand and led her to the nearby river for a stroll, some fresh air, and a chat, which was quite pleasant.Looking into the distance, Judy said, "Lewis, I'm so happy right now. Let's keep being this happy, okay?" She reveled in the feeling of being cherished.He smiled at her with warmth in his eyes, "Okay."Judy smiled up at him, still chuckling as she said, "You're so nice."Previously, Judy had been afraid of Lewis, but now, she had him completely under her thumb.She wasn't sure if it was due to the fresh air, but Judy ended up developing a fever as soon as she got home.Lewis was extremely concerned and took her temperature, which was 37.3℃, indicating a low fever.Judy lay weakly in bed, seeing him worry,
At night, the hospital only has on-duty doctors, so emergency consultations are quicker.As soon as Judy sat down, the female doctor began asking about her symptoms: "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"Judy blushed and replied, "A bit of a low fever, general weakness, and a bit of dizziness."Usually, Judy wouldn't go to the hospital for such a minor ailment. She would just buy some cold medicine from a pharmacy at most.The doctor then asked, "Are you pregnant?"This is a routine question for any female patient.Judy looked at Lewis shyly and answered, "No...""Doctor, please do a check-up first," Lewis interrupted Judy, addressing the doctor, "Her menstruation has been late for half a month."Hearing this, Judy looked at Lewis in surprise. She hadn't realized that her menstruation was late by half a month. She had been so busy looking for a shop and taking care of John's house that she had completely forgotten about it.The doctor said, "Then let's do a check-up first. Bring the repo
During this time, Judy was completely unaware of the pregnancy, which came without any warning signs.She immediately looked at Lewis, who seemed very calm, as if he had known about it all along. He was smiling at the doctor and asked, "Thank you, my wife is pregnant. She can't take medicine, right? What should we do about this low fever?"The female doctor replied, "Medicine should not be taken casually. Drink more water and rest more. Don't worry, this low fever is not serious. It's a normal reaction after pregnancy, when the body's resistance decreases."Lewis continued to communicate with the doctor, asking about ways to alleviate Judy's fever and other precautions for pregnant women.Judy was overwhelmed with joy, her mind spinning. She looked down at her belly and then at Lewis, truly believing that she was pregnant.As they left the hospital, Judy finally came to her senses and asked Lewis, "Lewis, you knew I was pregnant? It's not you who's pregnant, so how could you know more
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
