Chapter 139, Left to DieRicardo and Taylor tried to stop him from taking the girl."What are you doing? Don't you know that Aurora sometimes goes through situations like this?" 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
Chapter 140. Freezing in solving everything."I want to start from scratch, so let our marriage be something as God commands," he announced, embracing her.They headed down to the restaurant downstairs, and amidst their conversation, Richard received a message from Zeus."We need to talk after all those events. 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?""
Chapter 41. A New Misunderstanding.Richard scheduled a meeting with all his former shareholders and also Zeus, as he requested as a retraction. 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
Chapter 143. Side EffectsAfter the surgery, she was still unconscious but out of danger. 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
Chapter 144. Back to AdolescenceAfter evaluation, the doctor explained that while the medications were taking effect, he would sleep in a peculiar way, as if something were happening to him. Richard left the hospital feeling fine, wondering how he could have slept at home and woken up in the hospital, as if something serious had happened."You..." he grumbled as he got into the car and sat next to Ailda, while Jayden drove."You didn't want to wake up!" protested Ailda, as he showed his bad mood."I'm feeling great, and I don't remember ever sleeping as well as today.""Of course, it seemed more like you were dead and revived after some time," commented Taylor, but he was already distracted, fiddling with his phone."What's Kenedy up to?""It seems he's gotten over Elizabeth," he smiled ironically, teasing Richard. "Aurora is keeping him busy, making him read stories. He seems not to like it, but deep down, he's loving all the adventure he's having at the mansion.""So, keep him away
Chapter 145: How to Escape to the Secret Garden?"Are you going to wait for me to take a shower, right?" she asked eagerly, finishing undressing."I..." he sighed heavily, lost for words. She just smiled, understanding, and headed for the shower area. He remained attentive to every movement, watching her naked under the shower. His only regret was the distance she was from his touch."I got what you wanted..." Jayden stopped speaking when Richard signaled for him to be silent while covering the cellphone, showing embarrassment. "Both of you..." he murmured, stifling a laugh, placing the folder on his desk and quietly leaving.He stayed on the call with her as she headed to the bedroom, still seeing her even closer as she locked herself in and brushed her hair, until she fell asleep while watching him read the documents absentmindedly."Seeing you every day on call won't make this longing for you any better..." he lamented when he saw that she had fallen deeply asleep. "Good night, my
146. when I feel your skin.Jayden warned Elizabeth that she should wait for Richard's notice before heading to the garden, but she was so anxious that she didn't even wait for the message after her three unanswered calls. She suspected that something was wrong, yet she couldn't imagine what it could be. She got ready on that sunny morning and went out cheerfully, greeting her brothers as she left her room, finding them in the hallway."Where are you going?" Ryuk asked, still in his pajamas next to his brother, watching her skipping and jumping with her flowery loose fabric dress."I'm going for a walk!" she announced, twirling and stumbling."You know you can't go out, right?" Ryuk commented."I can... but is that all?" he asked, suspiciously."Yes, I'm tired of staying in this room."She rushed down the stairs, heading outside the mansion. She knew the guards would check on what she was doing. She went to the usual area where she always went with Gaby, where there was a small covere
