Catherine's POV
The parlor of the lakeside villa was brightly lit. As I entered the door, I saw Patricia sitting on the sofa drinking coffee. It was late, the kids must be asleep. I had mixed feelings when facing Patricia. We had been getting along very well. Patricia was a nice person who cared for her family. It was a pity that we couldn't become a family. "Ms. Wyatt, have a seat. We need to talk," Patricia put down the cup and said to me. I nodded, and then I sat on the sofa next to me. Dowen asked a servant to bring me a cup of coffee. "Blake has told you everything, right? I can only say sorry about this. You are not wrong, but we are not wrong either. Blake's mother left her two children and married your father. In any case, I hate your father and Blake's mother. They are selfish," Patricia said calmly. I nodded. "I know. This is more than right or wrong. I understand." "So, I didn't mean to ask youCatherine's POV It was early the next morning. When I woke up, I saw Noah and Hedwig on my bed. They lay on the bed, blinking and watching me sleep. "Mommy, did we wake you up?" Hedwig asked. I sat up from the bed. "Why are you two up so early?" "Mommy, have you and daddy made up?" Hedwig asked without answering my question. Noah, who was lying beside her, sighed like an adult, " Looks like they haven't. Didn't my plan work yesterday? No way! Daddy should have been jealous by now." Noah's words left me a little speechless. I knew it. Of course, Noah didn't want me to be with Harley. What Noah said yesterday was just to piss Blake off. "Noah, Hedwig, drop this, OK? Don't make your daddy mad." Blake looked so tired and painful last night. How could I go on to hurt him? Hedwig's eyes widened. "Really? Will daddy leave us?" Noah patted Hedwig on the head. "You are so stupid! Daddy is so much better than that! He will be
Catherine's POV I followed Leo to a separate room. Leo suddenly turned and stared at me fiercely. "Are you really Halsey's daughter?" I nodded. "Yes. I am Halsey's daughter. Do you hate me?" Leo walked to the sofa and sat down. He said, "Are you sad that your wedding is off?" "Yes, I am!" I did not attempt to conceal my emotions. "But there's nothing we can do. There's no way we're getting married..." I was in so much pain that I could not speak. Leo looked away and said sarcastically, "How was this possible? You are his mate!" "But my father hurt you and Blake. I'm sorry," I apologized. "Why should you be apologizing to me? It's not your fault. Halsey should make up for the mistake he made," Leo snarled. "I know. But I'm still his daughter!" I was so sad. "What does Blake think? Does he hate you?" Leo asked as he looked at me. I shook my head. "No. He's in pain, too. He's sick now. Maybe you should go check on him." "Loo
Third person's POV Soon, Catherine returned to the lakeside villa. She knew Blake was in the study, yet she did not go over to see him. Catherine walked into the bedroom and began to sort her things out. The pain in her heart was killing her as she packed her suitcases. She wanted to see Blake. Catherine suddenly did not want to pack up. She did not want to leave... The bedroom door was pushed open, and Noah and Hedwig stood at the door. "Mommy, are you really moving out?" Hedwig cried. She ran over and snatched the clothes in Catherine's hands. "Don't go. Stay here. Daddy won't let you go." Noah turned and ran out. He could not bear to separate from his mother. Catherine crouched and hugged Hedwig. She said gently, "Hedwig, I'm not going far away. I'll still live in this city. If you miss me, you can ask Dowen to take you to see me." "No! I want mommy and daddy to be together. I don't want you to be separated!" Hedwig sobbed.
Third person's POV Patricia crouched and said, "Noah, Hedwig, I don't know if you can understand what I'm saying here. Your mommy and daddy are now siblings. Do you get it?" Catherine was angry and said to Patricia, "Patricia, how can you tell them that? This is too much for them." Patricia looked at Catherine and said, "If I didn't tell them, they would think that we bullied you." Noah looked at Catherine in confusion and asked, "Mommy, how can you and Daddy be siblings?" Catherine didn't know how to answer Noah's question. Patricia said to Noah, "Because your mommy's father married your daddy's mother." Noah and Hedwig looked at Catherine. "Mommy, that's messed up!" Noah said to Catherine. Hedwig looked up and asked Catherine, "Mommy, I can't understand!" Patricia said sarcastically, "Catherine, you should explain it to them." Catherine crouched and said gently to Noah and Hedwig, "It will take time for you to understand it.
Catherine's POV I went downstairs and walked to Dowen's car. I knocked on the car window, and Dowen opened the trunk. I pushed the suitcase in and sat in the back seat. "Dowen, let's go now. Thanks!" I said politely. The man in the driver's seat did not speak. The car made a U-turn and drove off. The car was getting farther and farther from the villa, and I could not help looking over my shoulder, my eyes welling with tears. I said goodbye to the kids. Why did I still feel sad? I knew. It was because I didn't say goodbye to Blake. Eva let out a sad sob. "It's still early. What's the rush? After the car drove out of the lakeside villa, I heard Blake's voice from the driver's seat. I was stunned when I heard his voice. Soon after, he pulled over. "Move to the front." Blake gently reminded me. I came back to my senses. It wasn't Dowen. It was Blake. Why was Blake here? I thought that Dowen was driving. "W
Catherine's POV After I boarded the plane, I texted Blake. Soon, he replied to me: "Take care of yourself. Call me if you need anything." I kept staring at the message and it made me happy. "Your hearts are together," Eva said to me. The plane took off and hurtled into the night sky. I looked out the window, feeling a little sad. It was the first time we had been so far apart since we had met. After flying for more than ten hours, I finally arrived at the city where my father was. I got Halsey's address from Blake. After I left the airport, I checked in at a hotel. The weather was gloomy the next morning, which made me gloomy as well. After more than an hour's ride, I finally arrived at a villa in a wealthy neighborhood. I looked around for a long time before I finally found the door to the Fox's villa. For some reason, I was a bit scared. I reached out and rang the doorbell. A servant opened the door.
Catherine's POV I looked at Halsey in disbelief, his face full of pain. Abigail said in a low voice, "Catherine, now you know why your father did this. He loves you as much as any father in the world." "Is this true?" I couldn't believe it. Why? Why did this happen to me? Halsey nodded in pain. "Yes. That's why I lost you. Cathy, I have been suffering from it. I've been looking for you for years." "Why? How could she be so cruel? I am your daughter!" I roared. Why? Why didn't my family like me? They even wanted to sacrifice me for my brother. Halsey closed his eyes in pain and said, "You are my daughter. You and your brother are equally important to me. Your brother's illness was destined, and I could only accept it. However, I couldn't watch you die as well!" I lost my strength and slumped on the sofa. My tears ran down my cheeks uncontrollably. Abigail comforted me, "Catherine, don't be sad. Now that you are back, you should spend som
Catherine's POV "Aren't you on a business trip? When are you going to do your work?" "I whispered. "You are my work. Didn't I just work hard enough?" Blake said teasingly. I raised my head to look at him. "Aren't you afraid that Patricia will find out?" "I am, of course, but I kept it under wraps. I don't think she'll know," Blake said complacently. "So, are we sneaking out now?" I smiled. Blake turned over and pressed me down. "Yes. So, let's not waste time!" He kissed me so passionately that I could hardly breathe. I kept calling out his name. By the time I woke up, Blake had already come out of the bathroom, and then he got dressed. "Get up. Let's go out!" "Where to?" I didn't want to get up yet. "Anywhere, as long as you are with me!" Blake looked at me. "Alright." I got up unwillingly and ran into the bathroom carrying my clothes. We walked on the street hand in hand, and I felt relaxed. Suddenly, I spotted
Third Person's POVThe man who had been so brazen just moments ago now trembled at the sight before him. His legs gave out, and he collapsed to his knees with a thud.Clutching his bleeding head, he broke down in tears. "I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! I didn't really mean it—I was just talking nonsense! Mr. Chavez, please! I'm stupid! I'll never say anything like that again!"Blake watched the man's frantic apologies, the anger in his eyes slowly fading. He spoke coldly, "This isn't over. Not by a long shot."With that, he signaled his bodyguards to carry Leo out of the scene.Blake wasn't like Leo. He couldn't afford to throw punches in public, not when he had to maintain the dignity of the royal family. If their grandfather found out that they were brawling like teenagers, he'd be furious. Blake wasn't about to let years of careful upbringing go to waste over a fight.But that didn't mean he'd let this slide. He had other ways to make these men pay—ways that would leave a lasting impressi
Third Person's POV"What?" Blake's expression froze for a moment. The next second, he grabbed his coat and rushed out the door.As he hurriedly put on his jacket, he called out to Patricia, "Grandma, I'm heading out!"Patricia, noticing his frantic demeanor, had no idea what was going on. She chased after him, asking a few questions, but Blake didn't answer. He quickly got into his car, called his assistant, and sped off toward the scene where Leo was causing trouble.Inside the hotel, a group of men were shouting and cursing. On the nearby sofa, a man sat slumped over.He had been wearing a mask earlier, but now it was off, revealing a strikingly handsome yet arrogant face—Leo.Next to him, several men were nursing their injuries. One of them held a hand to his face, blood trickling down his forehead. They had ganged up on Leo earlier, but when his mask fell off, they froze in fear and stopped attacking. Despite that, Leo was still battered and bruised, looking utterly disheveled."I
Third Person's POV"What's going on here? I just heard him mention a breakup. He wouldn't be breaking up with Sunny, would he?" Patricia was so agitated because she had caught those words.Catherine, of course, also pondered over what Leo had said, and then replied, "Grandma, it seems he announced a breakup with Miss Garcia in front of the reporters.""What's this all about? They were getting along just fine, and now suddenly a breakup? Did he initiate it?"Patricia was truly a worrier at heart. She had finally seen her grandsons with girlfriends, on the verge of settling down, but now they were talking about breaking up."Grandma, don't get so worked up. Why don't you give him a call and find out what's really going on?" Catherine comforted Patricia.In reality, she too felt a growing unease.She sensed that this matter might be far more serious than she had imagined.Patricia picked up her phone and dialed Leo's number, inten
Third Person's POV"What on earth is going on? I was telling everyone that Leo was going to be my son-in-law, and now look, everyone's calling to mock me, to make a fool of me. You unambitious girl, you've disgraced me!"Moira clearly couldn't accept this reality and the blow it dealt her, venting all her resentment on Sunny.Sunny let Moira scold her without a word of retort.Only after Moira had finished did she say, "Mom, I'm tired. I'm going to hang up now."After ending the call, Sunny closed her eyes, lay back on the bed, and felt utterly drained.She knew the days of being ridiculed were far from over, and she could only resign herself to accept it all.The news of Leo and Sunny's breakup indeed caused quite a stir. Some gloated, those who watched indifferently, and those who were secretly delighted and mocking.Among them, the most elated was undoubtedly Mirabel Field, who had always taken a dislike to Sunny.She
Third Person's POV"Fine, let's break up then." Leo snorted coldly, his tone devoid of any reluctance, "I'll have someone pack up your things and send them back to you.""Leo, I'm really sorry. Thank you for not despising me in the past...""Don't say such insincere words. If I liked you, I would naturally treat you with utmost kindness. But you didn't cherish it. You betrayed my trust, and this is all on you," Leo cut her off abruptly, then stormed out of the hospital room, slamming the door behind him.Sunny felt as if she had been struck by lightning, standing there motionless for a long time, like a frozen statue.A gust of cold air came through the window, jolting her awake. It felt like she had been in a beautiful dream, but the man who had been good to her was now gone.In the world of werewolves, the departure of a mate is a tremendous blow to the other party.Sunny felt her world collapse in an instant, as if she had lost the
Third Person's POVLeo sat on the sofa directly opposite the hospital bed, his hands constantly flipping a mobile phone.The thought of how tightly this woman had concealed things from him made his heart feel stifled.He began to doubt how genuine her feelings for him were.Perhaps her intentions for getting close to him were becoming increasingly clear—was she trying to atone for her despicable Olivia?On what grounds did she beg for his forgiveness? Shouldn't mistakes be punished?"Mmm..." Sunny, on the hospital bed, let out a faint moan, seemingly due to discomfort.Then, her tightly closed eyes slowly opened, revealing the white ceiling and the IV drip hanging nearby.'Was this a hospital?'Sunny suddenly sat up, only to meet a pair of dark eyes, their depths flickering with cold light as if carrying a Siberian chill, causing her to gasp in fright."Did you bring me to the hospital? Thanks." Sunny vaguel
Third Person's POVAt that moment, a middle-aged woman emerged from inside, her face turning pale with fright at the sight of a group of people intruding on her farm."Sir, why have you broken into my farm? Is there something you need?" This woman was Teresa, who feigned surprise as she stepped forward to inquire."Bring Olivia out!" Leo said with a stern expression."Olivia? She's not here!" Teresa immediately shook her head in response."Do you really think we'll believe that?" Leo suddenly turned around, grabbing Sunny who was walking last, and said with a gloomy face, "Didn't she come here looking for Olivia? Stop wasting time and bring her out."Sunny's face had already turned pale, devoid of any color, and her body was on the verge of collapsing.Teresa looked at Sunny, her face clearly showing a look of reproach, "Sunny, how could you do this? Do you have any idea...""Teresa, I..."Sunny tried to explain, but fou
Third Person's POV"Now?" Sunny's head buzzed, wishing she could just faint on the spot.She knew that once they went, the hidden secrets would likely be exposed. Faced with Leo's insistent attitude, she didn't know how to refuse, her heart filled with panic and helplessness.Sunny reached for her phone, but suddenly, a hand as strong as a vise clamped down on her slender wrist, gripping it tightly.Leo's voice was as cold as a winter wind, "That's right, now. You lead the way."Sunny considered pretending not to know anyone named Teresa, but her mother had already revealed everything.There was no room to feign ignorance.She forced a laugh, suppressing her inner turmoil, "I'm feeling a bit dizzy now, could we...?""No, Sunny. I want you to lead the way right now." Leo's voice grew even colder, the threat in his tone leaving no room for doubt."Alright," Sunny sighed, reluctantly agreeing.Her heart pounded, and
Third Person's POVSunny couldn't fathom his thoughts and let it go. They drove to the company.The employees at the company regarded Sunny as the future boss lady.Previously, they might have ignored her, but now, everyone was vying to get close to her and become familiar.Changes in status and identity often lead to starkly different attitudes from others. As an important person by Leo's side, Sunny naturally received special treatment and was treated differently by everyone. Everyone wanted to maintain a good relationship with her in the future to gain some benefits or avoid unnecessary trouble.Sunny knew that all of this was the special treatment Leo had given her, so she didn't dare to be too complacent.In reality, Sunny had also made quite a few enemies at the company. Female artists who had admired Leo before were now cursing her behind her back.These women, driven by unrequited love, resorted to various underhanded tactics
