“Didn’t you say that Harry would help us out? What did he do for us?!” Donald was irritated. Joyce had an ugly expression. “It was all Summer’s doing!” “You’re such a useless piece of trash! You still can’t get Harry to love you even after all these years!” Donald complained. Joyce was embarrassed. “My in-laws will be back with Hayden in a couple of days. I’ll get them to help if Harry still doesn’t make a move. The Scotts can’t afford to lose their reputation over a criminal daughter-in-law.” “Are you sure that they’ll help?” Lana asked uneasily. “You guys know how much they like Hayden. Hayden is the only heir of the Scotts now,” Joyce said. Lana felt a little assured by her words. Just then, a servant ran toward them. “Oh, no! There are police outside, saying that they want to take you all back for questioning.”The three of them were startled. A police officer then entered the house and called out their names before they could react. “We now suspect that the three of you a
"No, it's not me," Serenity clarified. "Someone left a document outside my hotel room and rang the doorbell. The document described in detail how you lost your finger and listed the names of the people present at that time."Summer was taken aback. "Who left the document?""I'm not sure," Serenity replied. "That person was wearing a cap and a thick coat. After making sure from afar that I saw the document, the person quickly left. They deliberately avoided the surveillance cameras and got into a car outside the hotel. The license plate on the car was fake, so we couldn't trace it," Serenity explained.She only discovered all that by watching the surveillance footage afterwards."Who could it be?" Summer wondered."Whoever it was, they must have given me the document either to help you or to get back at Joyce," Serenity speculated.Help her? Besides Serenity and Clara, who would want to help her?The Gerhold family?But the Gerhold family wouldn't do that. Even though they now k
She appeared gentle and polite, but there was a hint of slyness in her eyes."Alright, let's talk here then," Serenity said openly, wanting to see what the other person was up to.Snow hesitated, eyeing the two bodyguards next to Serenity. "I would prefer to speak to you in private, Mrs. Valor. Can we find a more secluded place to talk?""That might be difficult since my husband has arranged for a lot of people to protect me. Even if we go elsewhere, they'll still remain by my side, and they'll still overhear the conversation," Serenity said.A flicker of annoyance showed in Snow's eyes, but she quickly masked it and put on a sad expression. "It's like this. I hope you can end Lucas' feelings for you once and for all, Mrs. Valor. You have a happy family now, with children. I'm sure you wouldn't want Lucas to suffer, right?"Snow continued with a self-deprecating tone, "I know that, for Lucas, rather than a personal assistant, I'm just a substitute for you. But I genuinely love Luc
Serenity got into her car. Snow gritted her teeth and drove back home fuming. Upon opening the door, Snow was surprised to find Lucas sitting on the couch."Lucas!" Snow's face lit up with surprise. "What are you doing here? If you wanted to see me, you could have just called. I could have gone to you."However, Lucas simply stared at Snow coldly. His gaze made Snow uneasy. It was different from his usual indifferent gaze."What's wrong?" she asked tentatively."Did you go see Serenity today?" Lucas asked."How do you know?" Snow blurted out, unintentionally admitting it. She then asked hesitantly, "Did Serenity tell you?""No, Serenity did nothing. Why did you go see her? What did you say to her?" Lucas questioned.If Yelena Gerhold hadn't called him and told him that she saw Snow talking to Serenity on the roadside, he wouldn't have found out.He had some business collaborations with Yelena, and sometimes, he would bring Snow along to their meetings.Therefore, Yelena coul
"I'm sorry, but I've never believed in vows. Human vows are easily broken," Lucas said with indifference. "You claim that you can sacrifice everything for me. Does that include your life?"Huh? Snow was taken aback at first, but she quickly responded, "Yes, even my life. Lucas, if I had to lose my life for you, I would willingly do so. You gave me this life. If not for you, I would still be living a life worse than death right now!""Really?" Lucas looked at her with a cold gaze, showing no emotional response to her words. "Then maybe it's time you give me back this life I gave you."Confused, Snow asked, "What do you mean?""From now on, you are no longer my personal assistant. I will take back everything I've provided for you. We no longer have anything to do with each other," Lucas stated. What he could give, he could also take back.Snow's face turned pale. If he really took everything back, she would be left with nothing!Although he had paid off her family's debts, it merel
Serenity Valor must have complained behind her back! There's no way Lucas would have found out otherwise!This was all Serenity Valor's fault! She would pay for this!All three members of the Hope family were detained by the police as suspects, making headlines. Joyce anxiously awaited her in-laws' return to Lanford with Hayden. Once Harry’s parents returned, they would surely make Harry help her even if he was reluctant.However, to her surprise, the person Harry sent to her in the detention center was a divorce lawyer instead."He... wants to divorce me?" Joyce could hardly believe it."Yes, this is the divorce agreement. Mr. Scott has already signed it. Once you sign it and the necessary procedures are completed, it will take effect. Regarding the division of assets, since there's a prenuptial agreement, there should be no dispute. It will be executed according to the agreement. As for child custody, Mr. Scott naturally desires it. Given your current circumstances, Miss Hope
"Moreover, would you really want to live with someone like her, Mom?" Harry asked.Michelle pondered for a moment and sighed, "Then tell me, are you divorcing Joyce because of what she did, or because the person she hurt is Summer? If it were someone else she hurt, would you still be seeking a divorce?""No, I'm filing for divorce not because of Summer. I've already moved on from Summer. It's all in the past now; I have no intention of getting hung up on Summer," Harry firmly stated.Yes, it's all in the past now.He said this to his mother, but more importantly, to himself.He's constantly reminding himself not to dwell on Summer. Even if he still had lingering feelings for her, he needed to let it go completely!Serenity was about to depart for Solaria, and Summer came to the airport to see her off.To Serenity's surprise, Lucas also came to bid her farewell."I'm sorry Snow bothered you," Lucas said."It's no big deal, just a bit unexpected. I didn't expect her to be your
Summer quickly followed Serenity into the restroom, her face filled with concern. Lucas stood outside the restroom, his deep gaze revealing a mix of emotions.Serenity continued to vomit, one wave after another. Finally, when she had emptied her stomach completely, she rinsed her mouth."What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Summer asked."I haven't had much of an appetite these past few days, so it might be indigestion," Serenity explained. After throwing up, she felt slightly better.As they exited the restroom, Summer advised Serenity, "When you get back to Solaria, make sure you see a doctor.""I will," Serenity assured her with a light smile. She glanced at Summer, then at Lucas, and said, "Alright, I should board my plane now! See you guys!"But just as she was about to walk away, Lucas grabbed her wrist. "You can't board the plane.""Why not?" Serenity asked, perplexed.With an intense gaze, Lucas stared deeply into her eyes. A possibility crossed his mind, and althou
