Chaos immediately broke out in the conference room.

"This is impossible! Where did Jane's daughter come from? She's already dead!!" Alice stood up, pointing at the lawyer. "Don't read it incorrectly! I can sue you!"

"Mrs. Ji, please calm down. To avoid any complications after the inheritance announcement, Mr. Joshua recorded a video in the presence of notary personnel." The lawyer raised his hand, signaling.

The assistant immediately projected the video.

After a brief snowflake pattern, the image appeared on the screen.

Joshua lay on a hospital bed, looking withered but still somewhat spirited. The corner of the video displayed the time, recorded half a year ago.

The earlier contents were indisputable.

And then...

"The final part, as well as all of my real estate, I want to leave to my adopted daughter Jane... No, to Carla Woods' daughter."

"This is impossible!" Alice shouted loudly.

Meanwhile, Joshua's words continued.

"Due to Jane's passing, I lost contact with my granddaughter. I h

    Hospital Underground Garage.Fiona hastily arrived last night and only vaguely remembered the parking spot. She searched for a while before finding the car. At that moment, Darwin called urgently, once again.Fiona answered.“Mr. Solomon, I just found the car. Could you not rush me?”Darwin sneered. There was no sense of urgency in his voice. Tried to hide her displeasure.“It’s too late, coming back now won’t make it in time for dinner,” Fiona said."Can I..." She was cut off by Darwin hanging up without waiting for her to finish.Fiona smiled slightly at the corner of her mouth. It's amusing to see Darwin getting upset occasionally.Darwin called back, "What would you like to eat?" Darwin's attitude having softened a bit. "I've already ordered from the restaurant, it will be delivered straight to the apartment. You must be tired from this trip back. Going to the restaurant again would mean another trip.”"All fine," Fiona said while unlocking the car door."Not all, tell me what you

    Eric lost control. He couldn't bear to watch Fiona retching like that anymore. He immediately went out and called for the maids."Take her to the bathroom! Wash every inch of her clean for me! And make her rinse her mouth at least ten times! Tear off the carpet and throw it out!" Eric paused for a moment, then seemed to think it wasn't enough. "No! Burn the carpet!"After a moment, a few maids walked in with solemn expressions. When they saw Fiona tied up, they were momentarily stunned. Mr. Eric had brought many women back before. But which one of them didn't cling to Mr. Eric like a vine, smiling and charming?This one...This one was clearly brought here against her will, right?"Miss, we'll take you to the bathroom..." The leading maid approached Fiona.Fiona glanced at her."Tied up to take a bath?"The maid looked somewhat embarrassed.Fiona sneered, "That beast used some kind of drug on me. My hands and feet are weak, let alone you four. I can't fight you alone."She didn't real

    The bathrobe completely concealed what should have been alluring. But he didn't seem bothered. Compared to those women who stripped naked and seduced him immediately, this situation made him feel like he was unwrapping a present. "Eric, if you stop now and let me go, I can promise not to tell Darwin." As Eric closed in, Fiona stepped back. "You're right about what you just said, but there's one thing you still don't understand. Darwin won't easily forgive someone who messes with his things. Even if he doesn't do anything on the surface, he will definitely find a way to ruin you from behind." Fiona remained calm and continued speaking in a low voice. Eric's expression softened for a moment. Of course, he had thoroughly researched Darwin before considering cooperation with him. He knew how cunning Darwin could be behind the scenes. But... "Neither of us is an easy opponent," Eric said, his voice filled with determination. How could a few words possibly make him give up on obtaining F

    "Help me!" Fiona exclaimed in shock, clutching her abdomen and swiftly turning around.Amid the chaotic darkness, two faint halos flickered desperately."Who are you?" Fiona asked, bewildered."Mummy lied! You said you'd protect us!""Mummy's bad!"Fiona's headache intensified."I'm not lying. I'll protect you, please don't cry!""You'll die. How can you protect us?" the halos lamented.Right, if she died, who'd safeguard her babies?No, she couldn't die! Fiona couldn't die!Darwin couldn't recall how many times he'd performed CPR. Just as he was about to resume chest compressions, the person beneath him coughed softly."He's alive! Secretary Woods is alive!" Jackie's excited voice reached Fiona's ears.Weary, she opened her eyes. Darwin, with red eyes, was the first thing she saw."Did I die?" Fiona croaked, her voice hoarse.Darwin shook his head, responding softly as if they'd averted a disaster, "No, not at all!"A surge of emotions hit Fiona like a tsunami. She rose and embraced

    Hathaway and Darwin's wedding date had been set.On the 18th of next month, an auspicious day for all matters, especially weddings.Fiona spent the night on edge, but after Darwin held her for a short while, she fell into sound sleep. Darwin lowered his gaze, observing the bruises and swelling on her cheek and neck. His heart trembled with pain.When the bodyguard arrived at Hathaway's residence, she was still asleep."Does Darwin have something for me?" Hathaway was somewhat puzzled.Knowing Fiona, there was a high probability that Janna had spent a fortune buying gifts for Fiona, which had made her irritable these past few days.Now, the gift brought by Darwin instantly dissipated much of the gloom in her heart."Yes, Miss," the bodyguard replied coldly, his tone unusually rigid. He then turned around and handed a rough cardboard box to Hathaway.Hathaway hadn't yet seen what was inside. But the scent of blood hit her nose. The cardboard box was of poor quality, and there were trac

    Janna adjusted her wrist bracelet."Son, from the Solomon family, have you thought this through? Are you truly going to clash with the Ross family over a woman?"Her tone was straightforward, devoid of any hint of joy or anger."They wouldn't listen," Darwin replied.Janna gave him a significant look. "And now? Are you still planning to marry Hathaway? I heard your wedding date has been set."Darwin's gaze turned icy."Do they even deserve it?"Janna glanced at him. Ultimately, she refrained from inquiring about how he intended to handle his relationship with Fiona. Marriages among these influential families always relied on alliances. If they didn't marry into one family, they'd marry into another. Janna had a rough understanding of Darwin. She knew he was extremely pragmatic, so how could he marry Fiona, who held no power?Certainly, if Fiona relied on her, things might turn out differently. The Solomon family's kid never acted without purpose. He wouldn't assume responsibility for

    Hathaway's hands shook as she glanced at Darwin, desperately trying to read his intentions. Something felt amiss. Why would he suddenly utter such words, offering her the power to end the engagement?"I've said everything that needs to be said. Is there anything else you wish to say?"Darwin rose from his seat.Anniston furrowed her brow. "Where are you going? The assistant is already on the plane to Armie Country!""He has something to discuss with me, so I'll go to the company first," Darwin replied, walking away swiftly without pause.Hathaway felt distraught.Anniston tried to console her with a few words and hurried after Darwin."Darwin, how long will you continue causing trouble? Will you go so far as to offend the Ross family and ruin the engagement?"Despite Darwin's recent erratic behavior, Anniston still had some insight into the child she had raised. No matter how much Darwin liked Fiona, she believed it wouldn't jeopardize his engagement with Hathaway.But now...Anniston

    These past few days, since being saved by Darwin, Fiona has been living in a surreal state. If Darwin had gone through some changes before, then in these past few days, he seemed to have completely transformed. He even gave up the alliance with the Ross family for her sake. Fiona wouldn't even dare to dream of such a thing, not even in her dreams."Fiona?" Janna Rhoads's voice sounded in her ears.Fiona snapped out of her thoughts and looked sideways at Janna. "Grandma Rhoads, what's the matter?""What are you thinking about? I said your name several times before you responded," Janna asked.Fiona felt a bit embarrassed. Fortunately, Janna didn't wait for her answer and continued, "After we arrive in Serene City, you don't have to accompany me all the time. You can go and meet your classmates and friends if you want.""That's exactly what I was going to tell you," Fiona said, pursing her lips. "I really want to meet someone, but..."Janna Rhoads noticed her hesitation. "Is it someone

    As Ashton was sorting through the gifts, she too was reflecting on everything."Isn't my life just a series of bizarre twists?" she mumbled, looking down. "Finding out Chris was secretly going on blind dates behind my back, then breaking up. Watching him get engaged, and seeing my own mom take his fiancée's side, leading to our fallout. That should have been my rock bottom, right?"Fiona nodded in agreement.The day Ashton cut ties with her mom, she'd even bought her a plane ticket. She wanted to send her to some tranquil getaway for a much-needed vacation to relax and rejuvenate."Who would've guessed? Right after the falling out with my mom—a spur-of-the-moment decision—I ended up marrying Kenny. I was so down on my luck, I thought, 'How much worse can it get?'” Ashton chuckled ironically, then softened a bit. "But, who could have predicted how good Kenny would turn out to be? How he'd respect every single wish of mine."It was a kind of care that she hadn't felt since her dad had l

    Fiona was actually surprised. After all, she wasn't a saint without desires. It all made sense to just go with the flow and do what naturally came next. She might only berate herself later for succumbing to her cravings. But Darwin stopped, and that was beyond her expectations. In the past, this would have been unthinkable. It seemed as though... he really had learned to respect her.She pressed a quick, rewarding peck onto Darwin's lips, smiled, and teased, 'Mr. Solomon, maybe you should head to the bathroom?”Her smile was captivating and bright, causing Darwin's past five years of distressing memories to resurface. He pulled her into his arms again."Wife, I miss you so much, I'm starting to lose my mind," Darwin's voice shook, betraying his emotional turmoil. "I keep seeing your shadow at home, but when I chase after it, there's nothing... Thank goodness... this time I've really got you in my arms."Fiona listened to his voice laced with sobs, her heart aching with each word."Ser

    Darwin had always been self-centered in matters of intimacy. Whenever he desired, she couldn't refuse.In her haziness, Fiona felt like she was back in those times again."Don't be afraid."Sensing her anxiety and unease, Darwin softened, kissing her lips again and coaxing her with his gentle voice, "I won't force you. I'll wait until you're ready to truly accept me."In Fiona's misty eyes, desire began to cloud her vision. Her gaze often seemed distant and disconnected. As Darwin kissed her, her mind turned into mush, instinctively she kissed him back softly.Mr. Solomon just stood there, silent, his towering frame taut."You know exactly how to torture me," Darwin groaned, voice hoarse, as he peppered her neck with more fervent kisses."Be gentle..." Fiona clenched his hand. "You'll leave marks!"Darwin chuckled lowly, then tilted her chin, forcing her to meet his gaze, "Why fear my marks? Scared that man will see and get jealous?""No, it's not that…" Fiona turned away with a sligh

    Once finished, the anxiety within Lilian began to subside.Just wait a little longer, Lilian. All these nuisances will soon vanish.And then, you'll be there for Darwin with all your gentle warmth. He’ll eventually be moved, realizing you're the one for him...Lilian took a deep breath and exhaled.On her way out, she passed by the flower shop where Darwin made his purchase. From a distance, she had only glimpsed the type of flowers Darwin had bought and decided to buy the same kind.Inside the apartment, Darwin silenced his phone and tossed it aside."Why didn't you tell me? Worried I'd take Lilian's side?" he pulled her close and asked earnestly.For five years, she had lived in Lilian’s shadow, a daily reminder that she was merely a stand-in and that Lilian was the more important one—a notion that had likely seeped into her very marrow.This realization made Darwin wish he could travel back in time to give his younger self a good thrashing.He

    "The only person I've ever schemed for was Solomon. What could possibly make you believe I'd harm someone I don’t even know, like Miss Rhoads?" Lilian asked. "If that's truly how you see me, maybe it'd be better if you just kicked me out of Solomon's life..."Darwin had promised to protect Lilian.Hearing her say this, he felt a twinge of guilt.But...Darwin feared even more that because of the thorn that was Lilian, his wife’s heart, which had just started to soften toward him, would turn cold again.He was walking on eggshells just to avoid pushing her away.So..."I'm sorry, Lilian," Darwin said flatly. "There's no room for discussion."Lilian sat frozen in the car, as if her blood was slowly turning to ice.Even in her early days back in the country, Darwin had never protected Fiona like this.He used to drop everything to be at Lilian's side whenever she needed him, leaving Fiona behind.Now...Even when she tried to befriend Che

    Fiona gazed at Darwin, his face inexplicably brimming with pride."Lilian places great value on the RH Company project." She kept to herself the fact that Lilian had plagiarized her proposal, but Fiona wasn't about to let it slide.This was simply a clash of interests, and she felt no need to drag Darwin further into the fray, avoiding the mess of tangled priorities."Hmm," Darwin's smile faded slightly, "Her proposal is indeed impressive, but it pales in comparison to yours."Fiona studied him intently, searching his face for any hint of romantic sentiment towards Lilian.Her search ended in vain."What are you looking at?" Darwin pulled her closer by the waist, gazing up at her.Fiona brushed her fingertips gently across his cheek, causing him to nuzzle into her hand like a kitten seeking affection."Don't stay away too long, come back soon," he whispered softly, his voice barely a murmur.What he truly wanted to say was, "Don't leave."Thei

    Darwin had no clue about the sunny-side up egg story. Upon hearing it, his gaze immediately sought Fiona's.Fiona was clutching her burger too tight."Oh, why bring that up, mother?" the daughter-in-law chided softly, "I'm sorry about this.""It's fine," Fiona shook her head gently.Seeing Granny distressed, she excused herself to rest.Fiona stared at her burger, lost in thought.She had never imagined it.Her death had cast such a shadow, not only over her loved ones, but over those beyond her immediate circle.“It’s okay.” Darwin soothed her gently.Fiona cast another glance toward where the Hamburger Lady had disappeared and bowed her head to eat slowly.If the Hamburger Lady was so affected...What about Darwin?She had never been fully convinced of Darwin's love for her. It always seemed to her that his treatment of her was nothing more than possessiveness.Like an old belonging he didn’t want to discard, nor did he want anyo

    Darwin sat in the treatment room with Fiona sitting beside him, scrolling through messages on her phone, while a doctor attended to Darwin's wound."The wound's not too deep, but it's not superficial either. You'll have to watch your diet," the doctor advised after dressing the wound."Got it, thank you for your help," Fiona put away her phone and politely thanked the doctor.Then they left the treatment room together.Darwin's face was brimming with relief, "We really didn't have to come to the hospital for this."Fiona didn't look at him.Leading the way, she said over her shoulder, "I'm here to prevent someone from using their wounds as an excuse to get me to come back."At that,the joy visibly drained from Darwin's face."I would never do that," he murmured softly.Fiona finally stopped and turned to look at him, "Mr. Solomon, you're becoming shamelessly unprincipled. Aren't you embarrassed to say such things?""Hungry?" Darwin steppe
