Catherine's POV "What?" Blake, who was driving, suddenly turned around and asked. Then he braked, and the three cars behind him also had to stop. However, because Blake stopped the car so suddenly, the bodyguards' cars crashed into each other to avoid Blake's car. I felt my body being pushed forward by inertia and almost hit the front seat. I quickly held Hedwig tighter in my arms. I turned to look at Noah, who was so scared that his face turned pale. I became angry and said discontentedly, "Do you know how to drive or not?" Blake ignored me. Instead, he glared at me and asked, "You were almost attacked by rogues? How did you protect your children?" I was stunned. I didn't see this coming. He was angry and braked so suddenly because of Noah's words. "But ... we are fine now." I glared back, feeling a little unconfident. "Well, we aren't protected by bodyguards everywhere we go like you do, are we?" Although the security in Pennsylvania was pretty good, that only held
Catherine's POV With Mabel's help, I quickly cooked three plates of spaghetti bolognese, and Mabel fried eggs and two slices of ham for Noah and Hedwig. We ate up all the spaghetti soon. "Noah, take Hedwig to our room." I had something to tell Mabel, but I didn't want to say it in front of Noah and Hedwig. After the two children returned to the room, Mabel came to sit by me. "Catherine, what happened? You don't look very well," Mabel asked with concern. "Mable, he wants to take the children away." As soon as I began to talk, the grievances I had felt today appeared again, and my tears streamed down. "What?" Mabel looked shocked. She lowered her voice and asked, "You really found Noah and Hedwig's father?" I wiped my tears and sobbed. "Noah's aura is different from that of an ordinary werewolf. And that man even asked the doctor to check him." "Then what should we do? What kind of person is he? How can he take the children away? Catherine, you raised Noah and Hedwig
Catherine's POV "What?" I was in disbelief. Harley was a good-looking gentleman. Especially when he smiled, he could be so attractive to girls. It was hard for me to imagine that such a gentle guy like Harley would become the Gamma of the pack, much less that my father would have him protect Gina specially. What made me feel even more disappointed was that Harley was now following Gina like her servant. It was hard for me to accept this fact. Gina did it on purpose apparently. I once saw her staring at me with a proud smile. "Catherine, Harley is so sweet and considerate. He is so good to me. I'm so happy to have him as my protector." Gina's voice was soft and pleasant. Besides, what she said was full of praise for Harley. Harley was happy after hearing this. His handsome face was tinged with a trace of shyness. "Gina, you flattered me. It is my honor to work for you." I stared at the shy smile on his face blankly . His smiley face was carved in my memories. "Harle
Catherine's POV "Please!" Henry was happy to hear that. As expected, the moment Gina heard that I was going up to see Blake, she froze. "Stop!" Gina suddenly shouted and then quickly walked up to me. "Don't you want your mother's necklace? Come back with me now to get it." Hearing her words, I was slightly stunned. "This is your only chance to get it back. I won't give you a second chance!" Gina said fiercely. I bit my lip and said coldly, "Fine. I'll go with you to get it. You'd better not lie to me this time!" "Of course. Let's go!" Gina even reached out and grabbed my arm as if she was afraid that I would turn around and go upstairs to see Blake. "Catherine, Mr. Chavez is still waiting for you upstairs." "Let him wait. He takes himself too seriously," I said angrily. When Gina heard what I said, she snorted and raised the corners of her mouth. Henry shrugged helplessly, while Harley was in a daze. Gina didn't wait for Harley. She pulled me out of the resta
Gina's POV I knew the whereabouts of the obsidian necklace that Catherine was talking about, but I just didn't want to tell her. Seeing her so upset about not being able to find it, I felt so much better. But then I thought of the fact that Blake had already noticed Catherine. It made me frustrated again. No way. This had to stop. I had to drive Catherine away. On no ground could Blake meet her. But I was the future Lycan Luna now. I couldn't risk ruining my fame. "I told you already. As long as you agree with my condition, I will give you the obsidian necklace and the money. Well? What do you say?" I asked complacently. Things that could be solved with money were nothing. "What condition?" Catherine seemed so eager to get that necklace back. "It's very simple, actually. I'll give you 100 thousand dollars a month if you leave New Jersey tomorrow and swear never to return. I will also find the necklace for you. How does that sound?" I thought my offer was good enough f
Noah's POV "Noah, come get me, come get me..." Hedwig had just taken a shower. She was wearing pajamas and running around the living room. After I chased her several rounds, I felt tired and said, "I'm done. This is no fun." "No! Noah, play with me." Hedwig pouted and pulled my arm, swaying it. At this time, the door of Mabel's place was suddenly pushed open, and I turned to see. Mommy was back. "Mommy is back!" I ran over and hugged her. "Mommy, did you go on a date with someone?" Mommy could not help but chuckle. "You are thinking too much. I was just hanging out with a friend." "Mommy, I want to see daddy again. OK?" Hedwig also squeezed over. Her two small hands held mommy's other leg pitifully. Hedwig raised her little head and pleaded. When mommy heard Hedwig's request, she immediately squatted down and stroked Hedwig's little head. Mommy said gently, "Hedwig, don't you have Noah? Let's not look for daddy, OK? Mommy will take you back to our previous place. The
Catherine's POV I told Mabel that I would go back to Pennsylvania with Noah and Hedwig. Although Mabel wanted me to stay in New Jersey, she supported me. I calmed myself down and planned to put Noah and Hedwig to bed. When I opened the door, I saw Noah with his eyes closed. Hedwig was standing beside Noah, looking at him curiously and quietly. I couldn't have been more familiar with this scene. I knew immediately that Noah was contacting someone through Middle-Link because it was exactly how I looked when I was learning how to use Mind-Link. But, how could Noah know how to use Mind-Link? We didn't join any pack, so who could he talk to through Mind-Link? I couldn't help but ask loudly, "Noah, what are you doing? Are you using Mind-Link?" My arrival caught Noah by surprise. He was startled and hurriedly opened his eyes. Then he looked at me in alarm. The next second, the two little guys lowered their heads, looking pitiful. "Noah, were you using Mind-Link just now? Wh
Catherine's POV Noah and Hedwig bid Mabel farewell. I also hugged Mabel. "Mabel, you can come to visit us in Pennsylvania when you get time," I said with a bit of sadness. "Cathy, be careful and take good care of Noah and Hedwig," Mabel cautioned. "I got it. Goodbye, Mabel." My Uber was here and I put my luggage in the car. Then I helped Noah and Hedwig into the car. Finally, I sat in and closed the door. The car started, and we set out for Pennsylvania. In the taxi, Hedwig seemed to be in low spirits and stayed silent, while Noah lowered his head and sighed constantly. "Alright, you two, cheer up. Mommy will take you to the amusement park..." I comforted them. "Will daddy go with us?" Hedwig asked in anticipation. I was slightly stunned. I held Hedwig in my arms and held her tightly. I rested my chin on Hedwig's head and said softly, "Hedwig, mommy will always be there for you. I'll watch you grow up. Forget about daddy, okay?" Noah understood what I meant a
"I had someone call Tasha, and she said your mom was home for dinner, so I came over." Leo had been particularly clingy with Sunny lately. Not having her even for lunch felt off, so he packed some food, deciding to eat with her.He didn't expect to see Olivia.Worse still, Sunny actually stood in front of Olivia, as if shielding her.Sunny's mind was blank. She underestimated her importance to Leo.Olivia, seeing Leo's dark expression and the flicker of anger in his eyes, panicked too.She pushed Sunny aside, stepped forward, and said humbly, "Leo, I was planning to apologize to you anyway.""Really?" Leo's voice was icy cold. Though addressing Olivia, his gaze pinned Sunny, as if trying to see through her pale face to her true thoughts.Olivia nodded earnestly. "Yes, I was going to seek your forgiveness. We were just discussing having Sunny call you later...""Enough! I don't want to hear your lies. Keep running if you will."
"Is your hand better?" Olivia nervously checked Olivia's left hand."Did you go to Leo's neighborhood last night?""Yes, I've been waiting at the entrance for days and came here specially to corner you today."Sunny took her home. Olivia collapsed on the sofa and said, "Life on the run is exhausting."Sunny poured a glass of water and asked, "Want something to eat?""Is there any food? I'm starving."After Sunny bought food and returned, she found Olivia already fast asleep on the sofa. An hour later, a phone call woke Olivia up—it was Leo calling to urge her."Leo, I need to have lunch with my mom today. Is it okay if I come back to the company in the afternoon?"Leo agreed readily.Sunny lied to Leo. She was worried that Leo might ask questions or suggest coming with her.Fortunately, Leo didn't say much and just asked her to come back early.After hanging up, Sunny saw Olivia, who had been woken up
After dinner, Richard and Nick didn't linger. They greeted Emerson upstairs and left.Back in the bedroom, Blake's handsome face was clouded with gloom.Catherine sat beside him and gently comforted, "They're gone. Don't let them get to you. It's not worth it!""I know, but I can't help it. This feeling is killing me," Blake said, rubbing his temples.Catherine leaned on his shoulder. "Don't think about it. Emerson's not doing well. Let's focus on taking care of him."Blake nodded. "I'll try to hold on. Once this period's over, I'll make them pay double."Catherine felt helpless seeing his pain but couldn't do anything to ease it.***Late at night, Sunny and Leo were heading home after dinner, both tired.As their car approached Leo's apartment, Sunny glanced out the window and froze.She thought she'd seen Olivia.She sat up straight and looked again.Sure enough, a figure scrambled into a car and
"If the kid were yours, you'd love him!" Richard frowned."But I'm your son too, and I don't feel particularly liked by you."Richard's face turned livid with anger.Seeing Richard speechless, Nick coldly said, "So, I'll only like a son born to a woman I love. Just like you. If that woman had a son for you, you definitely wouldn't treat me as dispensable. I feel like a neglected child.""Enough! I gave you whatever I can already!" Richard interrupted.Nick's words had struck a chord.The reason he didn't value Nick was because he disliked his mother.Richard had always been unwilling to admit it, but now that his son had pointed it out, he became angry out of shame.With a stern face, Nick opened the door and left.Emerson's health was deteriorating. The cold weather made him increasingly uncomfortable.Most of Patricia's energy was devoted to caring for him.Fortunately, the two children were with Abigail,
Catherine and Blake spent two days in Paris before Halsey urged them to return home.The next morning, Halsey found Blake strolling in the garden."Blake, can we talk?" Halsey asked gently."Of course," Blake replied, his expression cool but manner amicable."I want to transfer my company to your name. Consider it a peace offering to my future son-in-law, hoping you'll take good care of Catherine. I'm at ease leaving the company in your hands," Halsey said after a moment of hesitation.Blake frowned. "Why me?""You're capable. The Royal Group has flourished under you. Catherine is still young, and I'm worried she might buckle under the pressure," Halsey explained."Do you trust me that much?" Blake asked with a touch of mockery."You're more reliable than I imagined," Halsey admitted."I can't accept it," Blake refused firmly.Halsey was taken aback. "Why? Is it too small?""A profitable company is valuable
Sunny was stunned. This was the first time she'd seen Tasha act vulnerable."Crying won't help—go cry to Eben," Sunny said, knowing Tasha used tears as her ultimate weapon against her father.Tasha cried harder. "He's my dad. He cared about me! Sunny, there's a limit! You can't bully me like this! Now, the agent won't sign me. Are you satisfied?""How is this my problem?""It is! They heard about our bad relationship and rejected me!"Sunny couldn't believe Tasha's logic. "Our bad relationship is a fact, but signing is about your ability."Seeing sympathy-seeking failing, Tasha immediately stopped crying and threatened, "You'll regret this.""Stop!" Sunny said sternly.Tasha turned and sneered, "What now?"Sunny approached, her eyes cold. "What do you want to do?""I'm just venting my frustration. Is that wrong?" Tasha said, hands on her hips."Try laying a finger on my mom," Sunny warned."Wha
The media exposed Mirabel's arrest, a move deliberately orchestrated by Leo. He wanted every woman envious of Sunny to understand—jealousy was acceptable, but crossing the line to harm others was not.The incident caused a sensation on the internet. A huge weight lifted from Sunny's heart—now that the mastermind was found, she no longer had to live in fear.The next day, Sunny waited for a producer in the lobby.With the storm subsiding, she decided to resume her role in the historical drama she had previously taken on, throwing herself back into her work wholeheartedly.As she focused on studying the script, someone suddenly snatched it from her hands.Accompanying the action was a familiar, mocking voice, "Tsk, still not giving up? After being dumped by Leo, you still dream of being the leading role?"The script thief was her stepsister, Tasha. Dressed in a pink woolen coat, Tasha looked innocent but couldn't hide her sharp ton
Sunny's probing and provocation at the company today already made Mirabel realize something was wrong.She didn't expect Sunny to stoop to such underhanded tactics, even hiring fake cops to extract information from her. What's worse, she actually confessed her true feelings."Sunny, why don't you just die?" Mirabel seethed with hatred, gritting her teeth and flinging the script in her hand.Leo and Sunny were still at the company. Leo ordered some food.Upon opening it, Sunny found it filled with her favorite foods, which momentarily stunned her.Seeing her holding the chopsticks but not eating, Leo quirked his lips. "Don't get emotional yet. Lately, my taste aligns with yours. What you love, I love too."The happiness that had welled up inside Sunny sank back down.Maybe she was overthinking things.Ever since she met Leo, she'd become more and more sentimental, which wasn't a good thing.Lost in thought, Leo murmured,
Mirabel's steps froze, her blood seemingly turning to ice. She didn't dare turn around, instead quickly entering the dressing room.Sunny observed Mirabel's reaction and was convinced she was guilty. After her observation, she swiftly returned to Leo's office.Leo came back after the meeting and saw Sunny there. He put down his documents and asked, "Any findings?""Yes. I suspect Mirabel. When I mentioned the culprits' confession, she turned as pale as a sheet," Sunny reported her discovery to Leo."Oh? Mirabel?" A cold gleam flashed in Leo's eyes."Just a suspicion. Can you look into it?" Sunny looked at him hopefully."If we have a target, there are ways," Leo said with a cold smile. "We can play a little game.""What game?" Sunny was curious."Just wait and see. I'll arrange for someone to test her," Leo said confidently."You're not thinking of getting someone to pretend to be a police officer, are you? That would be
