55 "Successful investigation."

As dawn broke, Richard was already up, admiring the tangle of sheets and, beneath them, his sleepy wife, until he heard a subtle knock on his door. He immediately recognized, without even opening it, that it was Jayden. Upon opening the door, judging by the expression on the young man's face, Richard deduced that something he had been striving for had finally succeeded.

They both headed to the office, visibly concerned about what had just been discovered.

"After so many years, I can hardly believe he finally slipped," commented Richard.

"Supposedly... in fact, I'm sure that woman he's meeting secretly is his mother."

"I'm sure she is!" Richard asserted firmly, even though the woman's face was not visible in the photos, as she insisted on wearing a scarf and dark glasses at every encounter.

"Considering she's apparently an older woman and he's always showing affection, it's very likely."

"You did an excellent job hacking into the corporate computer."

Do you think he likes her?"Gaby stared at Elizabeth, speechless."I should send you to the loony bin. What difference does it make?""He might betray me, even after what we've been through..." Elizabeth murmured, lips pursed in embarrassment."Goodness... when?" Gaby asked, surprised, understanding exactly what Elizabeth meant."It's nothing," she shrunk back, embarrassed."Liz! When did it happen? Until then, you two were on bad terms. Thankfully, he let you go, but I never thought something had happened already.""It was yesterday...""Did you like it?""Well... he was a gentleman the whole time.""You liked it!" Gaby exclaimed, clapping once, leaving her friend flustered."But I didn't come here to talk about that!" Elizabeth protested, annoyed."Of course, you didn't come to talk about your craziness

    Chapter 57. Meeting with Bay"Ma'am, it seems we're being followed," the driver announced."You're the security my son hired for me. Just lose them!" she ordered indifferently.Jayden realized they were being followed. Swiftly, the man managed to divert and shake off Jayden and Richard, who halted the car in the middle of the road after losing them."We should've known it wouldn't be easy," Jayden grumbled while Richard vented his anger on the car's wheel."Let's head back and keep monitoring. I want to know every place they'll be," Richard directed.They returned to the mansion. As he entered his room, he noticed Elizabeth was missing. Despite knowing she wasn't with Taylor or even close to him, it still unsettled him."It seems she was so eager to leave that she hasn't returned," he sighed humorlessly, feeling the room empty as it used to be before her.Without delay, he began selecting from his sophisticated wardrobe and dressed elegantly. Amidst all the care in grooming, he found

    Chapter 58. Taylor's Cowardice."Good evening," she replied curtly, walking over to the wardrobe, ignoring him in a way that he noticed."Are you okay? What did you do all day?""I enjoyed myself," she commented indifferently as she lazily picked a linen nightgown from among the clothes.Richard approached her and, standing behind her, leaned in, bringing his nose close to her neck; his scent made her eyes light up with a new discovery."I missed you," he murmured, hugging her tightly around the waist, pressing her against his body."Maybe," she murmured, forcefully pushing his arms away. "Maybe... you found something much better, so...""So what?" he asked sharply, tightening his grip, making her give up struggling, feeling suffocated."Richard is hurting me.""Where have you been?""I just went out for some time!" she grumbled, annoyed."Why are you so upset?" he asked, releasing her. She turned to face him, glaring fiercely."How do you expect me to feel knowing that you went to me

    Chapter 59. The Truth about the Deceased Sister."This can't be happening," murmured Richard as the car flipped, rolling down the slope and crashing into the rocks."This is happening," gasped Taylor, quickly dialing emergency services."There's something wrong, how can...""That man was hired by someone, right now, Taylor's mother is dead."After the ambulance and firefighters arrived, they managed to retrieve the woman's body. Her face was somewhat disfigured, but they were certain it was Taylor's mother. Still, Richard felt something was off. They left before reporters arrived, and nothing about their presence was disclosed.It didn't take long for the news to be plastered in the newspapers. Taylor was already in her mother's secret house, now enjoying the coverage, while her mother watched horrified. After all, how could he have killed an innocent person?He never made clear what he would do."I never thought you'd do something like this," she murmured as he snacked, watching it a

She sighed, looking at the photo uncomfortably."Sorry for showing you this. For a moment, I thought I had seen her photo somewhere, for some reason... I wished this woman were alive," she lamented, clenching her fists."I'm determined because I know we have enough information to find your sister.""It's not that easy. We spent millions on investigators, and we only found this woman because Taylor felt safe enough to pull her out of hiding. But something doesn't add up. Who tampered with the brakes? It's driving me crazy!" He grumbled, massaging his temples."Can I help you?" she asked suddenly."What's on that little mind of yours?""I can... I can," she sighed, unsure. "I believe I have ways to get better information. What do you think?""How?""Taylor... He doesn't know I gave you this information, and, by chance, he doesn't seem to think mu

She wanted to address this matter as swiftly as possible while he wasn't monitoring her. Gaby was still half asleep when Elizabeth found her slumped over the table, dozing off."What have you been up to? You seem overwhelmed," murmured Elizabeth, sitting at the table and feeling a bit uncomfortable in her leg muscles."Unlike you, who seems to be on cloud nine. It's that man... he's trying to drain my energy this way.""Draining your energy? What are you talking about? You two, by any chance...""Don't think nonsense. That guy might even be considered a virgin, at least I think so, or he's gay. He seems to hate women, doesn't seem like he's ever liked anyone in his life.""Speaking of which... he might be. After all, he's jealous of Richard.""That was obvious," scoffed Gaby. "But why did you call me so early?""There's something really w

In one of them, Mrs. Bay is on the guest list. I believe we can use her to help us get in.""What exactly happens at these events?""In this one, coincidentally, there's an auction of jewels that have been missing for centuries, and for some reason, Ricardo and Taylor have control over them. I believe they're trying to raise capital to save their part of the company.""Is that illegal?""Yes, these jewels are stolen. But what I want to know is if Bay is attending this event.""I'm sure she isn't!" affirmed determinedly. "So, did she receive the details about this auction?""Yes, but she can't go. But I know she has a catalog that can only be opened by her and can't be shared. I want that evidence in my hands. I know my name isn't in that catalog, but it'll be useful to

"That's it!" Ricardo celebrated. "It seems that luck is on our side." Richard obtained information about the auction. It would be a secret auction as expected, and everyone would be wearing masks, but they would have identifications, which would be nicknames for identification purposes. He managed to access the list and discovered that Bay's identification would be 'Black Pearl.' Each participant received a special brooch with their nicknames, and each could register another person, but that person wouldn't have access to the auction room, only to the corridors while their bosses participated.

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,

    Chapter 207: A Pregnant Woman in a Scorpion NestShe rested her head on those wooden planks, holding her belly, thinking she would be alone at that moment. 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

    Chapter 206: A Dangerous and Relaxed WalkElizabeth was already nine months pregnant, and with each passing day, she became more anxious. 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
