Nightfall came and Elizabeth was still in a bad mood, this time Richard himself was preparing dinner while assessing everything they had there.

"It seems like it's going to be a cold night," he commented as he noticed all the fogged-up windows outside, making it difficult for them to see clearly through them.

"Hmm..." she sighed, curled up in the armchair as if imitating him, now focusing her attention on a book.

"I'm not sure what to prepare, but I had a good idea with these meats," he remarked, starting to slice the red meat he had chosen. Elizabeth watched surreptitiously as he demonstrated his knife skills, slicing precisely and then arranging the pieces on a platter, sprinkling spices on top. The pleasant smell filled the small space. He then arranged everything on the plate with some green garnishes, making it look like it came from a fancy restaurant. He organized everything on the tray, along with a bottle of wine and two glasses, placing them on the plush rug on the floor, ne

Could it be?" she asked herself, thinking Jayden had fetched Richard.She took a quick shower and hastily got dressed to leave. Still brushing her hair, she opened the door to leave when she found Ailda and Jayden waiting for her outside with grim expressions."Who died?" she asked."Are you okay? How did he find the way?" Jayden asked."He ordered us not to enter the room, to wait for you to come out," explained Ailda anxiously."Weren't you supposed to pick us up?" she asked, furrowing her brows."Not at all, I thought you'd stay for at least three days.""So, he remembers now?" she asked anxiously, intending to go to her room, but Jayden held her arm."No, he's not in the room. Since he arrived, he locked himself in the office and has been there since seven o'clock.""But it's already nine o'clock, what is he doing?" she asked confused."

    Chapter 137 When Everyone Thought He Was GoneAs soon as he parked the car a few meters from the aircraft, Richard followed with the girls and Beth, leading them inside. He knew he had managed to take them safely and that no one would know where they were going."You're a good woman. Live a good life wherever you're going. There are people there who will take care of you as you need," he announced to her, who stared at him in surprise when she realized he was just pretending. Then she smiled as she understood."You were protecting me, weren't you?" she asked, lowering her head as tears fell onto her lap. "You ended up hurting the people you love so much again.""I'll fix it. Just make sure to stay safe. Goodbye.""I didn't tell you, but... there's a traitor in your house and... they didn't want to kill you like you think," she announced, leaving Richard pensive as she handed him the cellphone she was using. "Goodbye."He let them go after saying goodbye to the children.The security g

    Chapter 138 Among So Many Bad ApplesMother and son were now face to face. His fixed gaze on hers brought back various memories from his childhood; Ailda was always there."You were one of the reasons I never felt alone since I was a child, always playing with me and being my safe haven," he confessed, while she couldn't hold back the tears. He approached slowly, then opened his arms to embrace her. Ailda didn't even have the strength to reciprocate, as she sobbed. "As a mother..." he sighed, embracing her warmly after months of not even communicating properly.After calming down, she was finally ready to tell him the truth."I don't know how I'm going to tell you the truth about your mother," she murmured, unsure."Do my siblings know that you're my mother? Are you their mother too?""No, I was only hired to be your mother," she explained, causing him to raise his eyebrows."Hired?""Your father, it seems he has some special condition where he can't get out of bed.""But if he can't

Ricardo asked skeptically, standing in his way."I know in what state she should be, and it's not this one," he asserted, trying to pass. Jayden tried to push them away, but Richard signaled for him not to. "Do you think you'll get away with this? If you don't let me take her, I'll notify the authorities. What's in my arms is not an illness, it's neglect. Aurora always played and could run with the proper care. She's not going to reach this state now. I know every test and every result about her illness. You can't make up any lies."Ricardo couldn't argue, he just stepped aside, but Aloury continued to follow Richard until they left the mansion, and he got into the car with the girl."You're being brainwashed. I don't want you near Aurora. I'm going to report this," she announced, closing the car door, while J

Gaby told me everything that happened during these days at the mansion," the message read.He read the message and remained serious."Things have turned upside down during this period," Elizabeth commented."Yes, but... What made you keep the investments Bay made? I believe Zeus asked you to drop them, right?""Actually, he demanded that I abandon you too. If he knew that Bay was me, he would surely be able to force me to do it and thus bring you down for good.""Only a LeBlanc can defeat such a powerful LeBlanc, but thanks to that and some measures I took before anything happened, they couldn't bring me down," he commented thoughtfully."So... what about your cousin Kenedy?""

Elizabeth read her father's email and was surprised to see him also requesting that Bay attend the meeting."Honestly... I don't believe it's necessary for Bay to go, after all, I didn't change our agreement.""Yes, but after they relinquished their shares and left the company in a delicate situation, you became the main representative and owner of the majority. After all, you bought all the shares they wanted to sell.""My father and them want them back?" she asked, raising her eyebrows. "Having me, do you still need my father?""Not at all," he smiled ironically."I know we're talking about business and what he did was out of revenge for you starting another family, and I confess that I... Everyone was disappointed. Still, we hadn't been able to get in touch and get any explanation.""Maybe there wouldn't have been time," he murmured though

    Chapter 142. Elizabeth is BayElizabeth continued walking, pretending he wasn't there, but inside she trembled and showed fear as she remembered the last time she encountered him alone. But before she could leave, Taylor grabbed her arm, stopping her."What do you want?" she asked, startled."Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying anything, I just want to talk," he cautioned, but she pulled her arm away."I have nothing to talk about, especially not with someone like you!" she asserted, walking away.Her legs trembled with fear, she quickly headed for the elevator and waited anxiously for it to open. As soon as it did, she saw so many men who all at once looked at her with confusion. She didn't have the courage to enter, afraid that perhaps one of them was Taylor's men. So, she ran to the emergency exit to climb the stairs."Don't you think the elevator was safer?" Taylor asked, following her to the stairs."Damn..." she muttered, trying to run. However, once again, he grabbed her, stoppi

In the late afternoon, Taylor was released after being cleared when they reviewed the footage, confirming that he hadn't pushed Elizabeth. On the same day, Zeus left and, upon his return, demanded that Elizabeth be discharged from the hospital.When Elizabeth opened her eyes, her vision was a bit blurry, but gradually the images around her aligned. She quickly got up from the bed, realizing that her clothes had been changed to an old nightgown. The room was familiar but strange at the same time."Liz, what are you doing standing up? You need to rest!" her brother Ryuk interrupted, holding her."Why did they bring me here? Where's Richard?" she asked anxiously, trying to get rid of her brother but still feeling weak."Father asked us to bring you home," Ryuk warned, apprehensive."I don't want to stay here," she grumbled, barely able to keep her eyes open."I'm sorry, Liz, Father won't let you lea

When you don't talk about the devil, he shows up anyway, doesn't he?" he asked seriously.The twins, in turn, got up and went downstairs together, barely noticing that the Leblanc brothers followed them while smiling and chatting."What are they talking about?" whispered Brian. Then, they subtly approached when the twins sat at a table in the cafeteria and stealthily listened."You shouldn't think about it, it was right to throw those coats away at that moment. Besides... Think about it, do men like them have anything good to offer? You saw, they attract the attention of all women all the time." she commented with disgust."But isn't that a good thing?" asked Brian, whispering, astonished."True, you know, men like that are after every woman they can find. There's no value in that, and I say this because they kept staring at us the whole time. We're nothing but toys,

Besides the risk she was taking by being in an old house in a forest, it was obvious that there were insects and wild animals around. So, she tried to stay still, even more so when she saw an unpleasant insect just inches away, making her spine tingle. After all, how many more were there? She closed her eyes in terror. It seemed that under that house had become a shelter for scorpions. So, she even tried not to breathe, even with panic.At such a critical moment, she truly thought she was going to die, until she heard the door of that old house open abruptly."Oh Heavens... He never fails..." she sighed in relief."Stay still!" Richard asserted upon seeing the scorpions crawling over Elizabeth."Save me... Please..." she pleaded, holding her breath."It's okay... Just don't move." he said, keeping calm and carefully removing the sc

It wasn't because she eagerly awaited the moment to see her daughter, but rather because, after months in that mansion, even with so much entertainment, she was eager and longing to go out and take her last walk alone.The twins were wandering around the mansion's premises, and as usual, they always went to see Elizabeth."You can come in," announced Elizabeth when the twins knocked on the door."Are you going somewhere?" the girls asked, a bit confused to see her already dressed and drying her hair."I'm thinking of making a brief visit to an old place," she said thoughtfully."You're not thinking of visiting someone, are you?" Kemilly asked suspiciously."What are you talking about?" Elizabeth asked, confused."We heard that Taylor is paralyzed, unable to move anything from the waist down. It's a pity for someone so young and handsome.""Why would

    Chapter 205: Visiting my former marriageDuring that same period, Taylor was now living with his mother. She took him to her home, even though it was a simple place. Now he had to accept that this was his fate, being completely ignored by his father, who didn't even visit him. Coralie now sat daily in a chair in front of Taylor's bed and dedicated herself to feeding him."Do you know I can feed myself, right? Why do you keep doing this?" Taylor asked, annoyed."And I want to take care of my son, as I never could before," she grumbled as he refused to eat."You don't have to, just leave and let me die. We can't even live in this place, no money, no life, nothing. That bastard who claims to be my father only defends his own interests.""I'm here. Besides, I know how to get money, so don't worry.""How?""Let's just say I made a great friend, even when I was practicing evil," she smiled tenderly. "At least she says she never made a mistake when she chose to trust me.""I abandoned you. S

The girls talked to their guardians and asked for permission to go with Elizabeth."How come Elizabeth asked you two to go with her?" Richard asked skeptically."Actually, we asked her. We believe we can learn more from someone like her.""Did she say where she's going?"The girls shook their heads negatively."No, actually she said she didn't want you to know.""What am I to her? Is she always going to be avoiding me? Does she think it's fair while dragging my daughter everywhere?" he grumbled annoyed, leaving the twins confused."What do you mean? But if it was your son, why did you let Taylor bother her so much?"At that moment, Richard averted his gaze, showing shame."At first, he implied that baby was

Rayssa asked, leaning on Richard's arm as he escorted her."You can be sure, just the two of us was a bit lonely.""I heard she married that man, now that I'm back, I'll have to face a divorce while her marriage will be annulled," she sighed thoughtfully."Indeed, it seems our family has a karma related to marriage annulment.""Why? Speaking of which... Elizabeth is your wife, right? Why didn't you bring her?""It's a long story, actually, a story so far-fetched it might take days to know it all," he suddenly commented, remembering the time he was kidnapped.He smiled awkwardly at the thought that it was his grandfather who did that; he was now sure that Rayssa and Aloury's encounter was more dramatic than expected, filled with Aloury's remorse and regret, now that she was lucid. She had awakened from

Emile nodded in agreement to what Kemilly indicated by looking towards the grand entrance, then turned to his sister."Let's take you, since you can't walk...""No!" Kemilly asserted, using all her strength, pulling her sister and running into the hospital, leaving the two men stunned."What's going on?" Brian asked, furrowing his brow as he watched the girls struggling to run."Interesting, I expected them to jump into our arms instead of running past us..." "Oh... I guess we're quite presumptuous, but perhaps there are really tough women out there in the world," Brian commented, interrupting his brother and suppressing a laugh."Did they make it seem like a game?" Ryuk asked, sliding his thumb over his chin with a light smile, much like Brian.The twins ran to Elizabeth's room, finding her things already packed, feeling disappointed to see her leaving."You're leaving wi

If you think she's not yours, I don't want you to assume a responsibility that isn't yours," she said calmly, not even looking at him."Even if she doesn't have my blood, it doesn't mean I can't love her as a legitimate daughter, Liz... Don't keep rejecting me..." he tried to hold her hand, but she pulled away."Excuse me," Eliza entered the room, interrupting the conversation."I'll let you two talk..." Richard announced, albeit unwillingly."Why are you treating him like this?" Eliza asked, concerned."Because he's stubborn. Clearly, he's doing this out of pity. He wants to accept this child not because he loves me or loves this child, but because he feels sorry for everything I've been through. But the truth is, I've realized that nothing happened between me and Taylor.""What do you mean?" Eliza asked, intereste
