Seeing Erica still silent and somewhat hesitant, Desi continued her plea, this time deliberately banging her head on the floor to amplify the dramatic effect and persuade those with wavering hearts."Erica, we are both women. I beg you to have a generous heart and help me. I implore you. I'm banging my head to plead with you."Witnessing Desi's actions, Mrs. Hani wanted to persuade Erica to assist Desi. Moreover, she wanted Erica to stay away from Ansel, and this was a good opportunity to accomplish that. However, realizing his wife's intentions, Mr. Brown intervened. His stern gaze was enough to make Mrs. Hani obediently remain silent."Why are you silent? Say something! Are you devoid of humanity?" Mrs. Emily raised her voice and questioned Erica, "How long do you plan to let Desi kneel and beg you? Do you know that Desi is pregnant? If something happens to Desi and the child, will you be able to bear the responsibility?"Ansel sneered at the disgusting actions of Desi and Mrs. Emil
"What does this have to do with Kevin?" Mrs. Emily, assuming that Ansel wanted to evade responsibility, continued to insult him: "Are you planning to find someone to take the blame instead of yourself, Ansel? It's truly disgraceful. Your parents will surely be ashamed of you." "I have no reason to do so when Kevin himself is your daughter's secret lover," Ansel calmly revealed, disregarding Mrs. Emily's insults. "I witnessed with my own eyes the two of them engaging in an intimate act in the meeting room on the night of the event." Mr. Brown and Mrs. Hani both revealed their astonishment at what Ansel shared. Desi's father also displayed his reaction by expressing doubt. "How dare you make false accusations and tarnish Desi's honor?" Mrs. Emily angrily scolded Once again, Ansel paid no attention to her. "Is what I'm saying true, Desi? Speak up." Ansel looked at her, demanding, "The reason I kept this secret is to avoid the impact on the cooperative relationship between our two fam
Ansel could see that Erica had successfully deceived Desi, even mocking her. Ansel couldn't hide his proud smile directed at Erica. And suddenly, he burst into laughter, filled with delight, leaving everyone surprised as they looked at Ansel, while Erica pouted in annoyance, thinking that Ansel was teasing her."What are you laughing at, Ansel? This wicked girl is mocking me and your child." Desi expressed her dissatisfaction, still clinging to her lie. "She dares to deceive me. I don't understand why you're even associating with...""Because you deserve it," Ansel calmly interrupted with a firm statement. "Completely deserving." He didn't want to hear the false accusations that Desi directed at Erica.Desi had never felt so humiliated before."Ansel, how could you?" Desi looked at Ansel with a resentful gaze. And Ansel smirked, a victorious smile on his face.Once again witnessing Desi being oppressed, the mother acted on instinct. However, knowing that she couldn't do anything to An
"Who are you?" Mrs. Emily asked abruptly, "How dare you intervene in other people's affairs?""Allow me to introduce myself. I am Nika Curs, Ansel's lawyer. I am here, of course, to protect my client. I will present sufficient evidence to prove the truthfulness of my client's statements.""What kind of lawyer is here? Who would believe that? It's better if you don't play tricks," Mrs. Emily stubbornly refused to believe."No, I have no reason to engage in fraud or deception," Nika calmly requested. "Now, I ask everyone to remain silent as I present the evidence."After speaking, Nika gently placed her phone on the table and played the recorded conversation.There was a tense silence, and suddenly everyone was stunned upon hea
After the Desi family moved out of the Brown mansion, Mrs. Hani also regained consciousness thanks to Erica's devoted care. Realizing the urgency of the situation, Mr. Brown decided to hold a family meeting. In the living room of the mansion, not only were the members of the Brown family present, but Erica and Nika were also there.With seriousness and determination, Mr. Brown asked Nika to clearly narrate the important pieces of evidence he had provided. Everyone's gaze focused on Nika as he recounted the sequence of events, starting from when he noticed Kevin's suspicious behavior."So, I decided to keep an eye on Kevin, quietly investigating the anomalies in his management style. And I discovered that Kevin not only colluded with outsiders, betraying the company, but also betrayed Ansel by having an affair with Desi," Nika concluded.After Nika finished his account, silence filled the meeting room. All eyes turned to Mr. Brown, who would make the next decision. Mr. Brown, with the
Mr. Brown's sharp gaze shifted from Ansel to Erica. This unexpected question truly caught everyone off guard, and it left them feeling confused. Mrs. Hani is completely clueless in this situation."It's obvious that we love each other, so why are you asking?" Ansel quickly responded with another question. In reality, Ansel didn't quite grasp the intention behind the question.This made Mr. Brown feel dissatisfied. He was looking at Ansel and then shifted his gaze to Erica with a hint of suspicion. Unlike Ansel, Erica had deduced the man's thoughts and spoke with a resolute tone:"Actually..." Erica sat up straight, maintaining a steady gaze at Mr. Brown. "You guessed right; from the beginning, Ansel and I were not actually dating."The confession of Erica abruptly made the atmosphere quiet and filled with confusion and suspicion. Ansel finally understood the intentions of his father. All eyes were now focused on Erica, knowing that she hadn't finished speaking yet, so no one spoke up.
At the same time, at Scott's house.Desi felt fearful as she stepped through the door, returning to Scott's home after leaving the Brown mansion. Her father's scolding voice echoed in the space, filled with resentment and disappointment. Mr. Ethan seemed unwilling to listen to any reasons from Desi, and her feeble resistance against his violence only made things worse."Desi, you are not worthy of being my daughter! What have you done for the Scott family? You're just a useless, worthless person! And you're a troublemaker," Mr. Ethan yelled, raising his hand and delivering a painful slap to Desi."I'm sorry, father. But it's not entirely my fault," Desi cried, trying to justify herself."That's enough; get out of my sight!" Mr. Ethan yelled loudly, startling Desi."Oh, Father, please forgive me," Desi pleaded, kneeling down and crying."Leave Scott's house immediately, as your actions have had a severe impact on our family.""No, Father, please don't disown me."Desi pleaded desperate
Today, the weather is gorgeous and sunny, marking Ansel and Erica's wedding day. Every detail has been meticulously arranged, from the vibrant and lively flowers to the extravagant banquet. Close family members and dear friends have received invitations to join and witness the joy of the young couple.At this moment, there are only a few hours left until the wedding ceremony. While Erica is busy with her makeup, getting ready to become the most beautiful bride, Ansel is driving from home to the wedding venue. Ideally, Ansel should have already been at the church where the ceremony takes place. However, this morning, Ansel left home without bringing the wedding ring. That's why Ansel had to personally return home to retrieve it. The sunlight glistens on the car's surface, creating shimmering lights as the vehicle moves at a fairly fast speed. Ansel is in a hurry to reach the wedding venue. He is eagerly looking forward to seeing how beautiful Erica will be in her bridal gown. They will
Unable to cope with Ansel, Kora resorted to manipulating the crowd. Suddenly, she burst into loud sobs, constantly lamenting about her child. Mrs. Lani enthusiastically joined in, raising her voice to insult Erica."Everyone, please take charge and fight for justice for my daughter. This girl has caused so much harm to Kora. She seduced Max, Kora's husband-to-be. Such a wicked person like her deserves to be punished. It's outrageous that she is shamelessly deceiving another wealthy family. Can any of you tell me where justice lies?"Max's authoritative voice silenced the murmurs of conversation that had begun to spread."Have you cried enough? Have you caused enough chaos?""Max, you must demand justice for me!" Kora exclaimed as she saw Max approach. She rushed to her fiancé's side, pleading desperately, but Max ignored her and went straight to Ansel."Ansel Brown, it's nice to meet you." Max extended his hand toward Ansel but received no response."I sincerely apologize for what Kor
"Hey, don't you dare falsely accuse my daughter." Mrs. Lani saw Mrs. Mina and Kora being oppressed and spoke up in their defense. "If you want to accuse Kora, then present the evidence here.""Yes, please, madam, reconsider calmly," Mrs. Mina pleaded."There's nothing to reconsider. My son's words are the evidence," Mrs. Hani replied firmly.Mrs. Hani eloquently declared People noticed Ansel, who was next to Erica, and couldn't help but be surprised to learn that this person was Ansel Brown. Some began to worry about the outburst and whether Ansel might explode. It was a big mistake to offend the Browns. Towards Kora and Mrs. Lani, these two still kept their stubborn faces because they didn't realize who was standing beside Erica. Except for the fact that Ansel is Erica's husband. I must admit that Erica's husband is very beautiful and extremely temperamental. Kora is secretly jealous, and Mrs. Lani continues to maintain her anger.Many people, including Kora and Mrs. Lani, saw a lot
Erica glanced at Kora and Kora's mother for a moment before turning back and continuing to select the food she wanted to eat. Today, Erica didn't need to say anything; she just came to attend the party, eat her fill, and then leave. That's what her mother-in-law assured Erica before entering the event."Hey, I'm talking to you," Kora said angrily. "Are you deaf or mute?"Erica pretended not to hear and calmly walked over to the other side to get a piece of chocolate cake."Mom, look, Erica really doesn't care about us." Kora turned to her mother and complained. "Why did she show up here? She's ruining our dinner.""I will handle her," Mrs. Lani declared fiercely, advancing towards Erica."Hey Erica, have you forgotten about what happened last time at the shopping center? Do you want me to make you feel so ashamed that you'll want to crawl into the ground?" Mrs. Lani stood next to Erica, uttering a threatening remark.Despite the provocation, Erica chose to ignore it. She calmly contin
Suddenly, the butler appeared with an announcement."Madam," he said."What is it?" Mrs. Hani asked."Mrs. Mina has sent an invitation for you to attend her birthday party," the butler informed"Mina Bush?" Mrs. Hani raised an eyebrow suspiciously."Yes, ma'am.""Here you go," the butler said, stepping forward and handing the invitation to Mrs. Hani. After reading the contents, Mrs. Hani couldn't help but smile with delight, causing others to be wary."What's the matter, Mom?" Ansel asked anxiously."Erica, prepare yourself to accompany me to this party." Mrs. Hani made the request to Erica instead of answering Ansel."Mom, I think..." Erica began to express her thoughts."You must accompany me, no matter what," Mrs. Hani emphasized sternly."But Mom, my wife is pregnant; attending a party might not be suitable," Ansel objected, trying to protect Erica."Erica just needs to go with me; you don't have to worry about anything," Mrs. Hani reassured."But why does Mom want Erica to go wit
"Mom."Erica's gentle hand soothingly stroked her mother-in-law's back as she whispered softly in Mrs. Hani's ear:"Calm down, Mom. Don't fall into their vile trap."Faced with Erica's wise words, Mrs. Hani reluctantly swallowed her anger. Once again, Mrs. Lani felt frustrated as Erica disrupted her plans.Before Mrs. Lani or Kora could respond and continue their provocation, Erica turned to look at the mother and daughter, calmly stating:"I have recorded everything you both said. Soon, my lawyer will be contacting both of you.""What?!" Surprised and filled with doubt, Kora stammered, asking for clarification.Instead of answering Kora's question, Erica politely added:"We'll see you both in court. Now, we have to go.""Let's go, Mom, or we'll be late for lunch," Erica said to Mrs. Hani."Okay."The mother and daughter walked hand in hand, leaving the store. There was no reason to stop them. The crowd dispersed, making way for them."You two can't leave," Mrs. Lani stubbornly declar
"Who are you saying is the abandoned child?"All eyes turned towards Mrs. Hani as she approached. Erica's mother-in-law stood beside Erica. Mrs. Hani's haughty gaze glared directly at Kora. Mrs. Hani had been present for a while, but upon seeing Erica talking to the two individuals, she thought they were Erica's acquaintances and didn't want to disturb them. Given that Erica also had her own private social relationships, Mrs. Hani needed to respect that. However, Mrs. Hani was mistaken; they were not Erica's friends. Upon hearing what Kora and Kora's mother were saying about Erica, Mrs. Hani couldn't bear it any longer and had to step forward to intervene."Are you the one who just spoke correctly?""Yes, it's me. So what?" Kora replied with a defiant and disrespectful attitude towards the adult. Immediately, Mrs. Hani swung her hand and slapped Kora, causing her to feel a painful sting. Mrs. Hani's sudden and decisive action left Erica, Mrs. Lani, and even Kora stunned, unable to rea
Erica is five months pregnant.Erica's life has completely changed since Ansel's accident. She not only shares small everyday joys with Ansel but also receives sincere support and love from Mrs. Hani, her adorable and devoted mother-in-law. Today, Erica and Mrs. Hani had an exciting shopping trip at the mall. Erica's goal was to find essential items for the babies in her belly. They walked through several stores and finally arrived at a children's clothing counter."Erica, Mom is going to the restroom for a moment. You go inside first." Mrs. Hani announced"Yes, Mom, go ahead." Erica happily agreed.After Mrs. Hani left, Erica was left alone. She decided to enter the store and browse through some items while waiting for Mrs. Hani to return.While searching for the items she needed to buy, Erica found some adorable and affordable items at the grand sale. Thinking about the children at the orphanage, Erica decided to purchase some gifts for them. As she carefully chose clothes, suddenly
"Ansel," Erica called out, seeking Ansel's attention. "Don't remain silent like this. Speak up and share everything you want to say."Ansel looked at Erica with gratitude. Indeed, Erica understood him very well. Instead of directly demanding that Ansel forgive Kevin, Erica chose to encourage and support Ansel's decision. Erica believed that Ansel would find a good and beautiful solution to this issue.As Ansel looked at Desi and Kevin, his voice carried a resolute tone:"Both of you should leave and start a new life elsewhere.""What?!" Kevin exclaimed, taken aback. "Ansel, what are you suggesting?"Ansel, with a composed demeanor, explained his decision:"Company AB has a branch overseas, Kevin; I want you to go there and manage it."Kevin looked stunned at Ansel, not knowing what to say."Aren't you afraid that I might betray you? And why should I listen to you?" Kevin asked defiantly after a moment of thought."Firstly, for the future of Desi and your child, and also for your own s
"Erica, are you still mad at me?" Ansel bravely asked."Why would you think that?""Because of your silence," Ansel replied."I don't know what to say," Erica admitted. "There have been so many things happening that have left me overwhelmed.""Come here," Ansel requested. Erica was standing by the window, looking out at the sky.As Erica approached Ansel, he immediately embraced her and spoke."I'm sorry," Ansel confessed earnestly. "I have been foolish in my thinking and have caused you to worry. Will you forgive me?"Looking into Erica's eyes, Ansel appeared genuinely sincere. Erica didn't want to carry a heavy heart, so she nodded in agreement."Thank you, Erica," Ansel said, tightening the embrace as if he was afraid Erica would disappear."Ansel, no matter what, please fight for me and for our child, okay?""I will," Ansel replied."Ansel, I love you.""I love you more."Gently stroking Erica's hair, Ansel leaned down and gave her a loving kiss.Afterwards, they smiled at each ot
