Shane acted quickly, supporting her and gently guiding her back to bed. With his expression filled with concern, he asked. "Are you okay, Haley?" Haley shook her dizzy head, managing a weak smile. "I'm fine."However, Shane's worry only intensified. "No, we must call a doctor to check on you."Seeing Shane reaching for his phone, Haley quickly intervened, blushing. She bit her lip and insisted, "I'm just tired, really. There's no need to call a doctor."Shane paused, carefully observing her complexion. Seeing her looking so unwell, he quickly suggested, "Then lie back down and rest. I'll have the helpers bring some food up."Haley knew she was not fit to go downstairs at the moment and nodded lightly. With Shane's help, she settled back into bed.To make her more comfortable, Shane placed a pillow behind her and sat beside her, his deep black eyes filled with tenderness.Soon, there was a knock on the bedroom door, and a helper entered with a tray of food. Shane had instructed

An hour later, Zac arrived at Violet Grove. The butler, upon seeing him, greeted him with a smile and ushered him inside. "Mr. Zac, you're here? Please come in," he said. Zac remained aloof, nodding curtly in acknowledgment of the butler's greeting. Knowing his reclusive nature, the butler paid no mind to his cold demeanor and led him upstairs. As they walked, he remarked, "I heard a few days ago that Mr. Ford was poisoned and you helped remedy the situation. We're truly grateful to you." "It's my duty," Zac replied with just a few words. The butler continued, "It's one's duty to help, but it's a kindness to offer assistance. Mr. Ford is fortunate to have a friend like you." Zac gave a slight tug at the corner of his lips, attempting to smile, but his expression remained stiff from years of emotional detachment. Under the corridor's lights, he seemed enigmatic. The butler could not shake off a shiver that ran down his spine and hastened his steps. When they reached the

Over half an hour later, after completing his examination, Zac neatly stowed away his tools in the medical kit. His movements were precise and practiced, methodical in every way, and the medical kit was soon arranged meticulously.This routine was nothing new for Shane, who walked over to the bedside and inquired, "How is she?"Zac gave him a cool glance, withholding an immediate response. Shane's heart raced with anxiety, his brows furrowing tightly. "Is there a problem? Did the Carter family mistreat her in the past?"Sensing Shane's escalating concerns, Zac hastened to reassure him, "There's nothing major, she's just exhausted and fell asleep."Hearing this, Shane finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank god! As long as she's okay..."Observing Shane's shifting expressions, Zac could not help but find it amusing. "You don't need to be so tense. Although she's a bit frail, overall, she's quite healthy. However..."He paused for a moment, causing Shane's heart to lurch in ant

Upon hearing Shane's words, Haley's cheeks flushed red. She glared at him coquettishly, which made Shane burst into hearty laughter. After indulging in each other's company on the bed for a while, the butler knocked on the door: "Mr. Ford, dinner is ready. Would you like to come out and eat?"Shane looked at Haley. "Are you hungry? Shall we go eat something?"Haley opened her arms towards him. "Carry me to the bathroom. I need to freshen up."Shane lifted her horizontally, heading towards the bathroom.Haley quickly finished washing up and then asked Shane to take off her shoes so she could walk down herself. Shane looked worried. "Can you walk on your own? Maybe I should carry you down. It's only a few steps.""No, I'm fine now!" Being seen embracing in broad daylight would be so embarrassing! She definitely did not want that!Unable to persuade her, Shane had to put her down on the bed and let her change into slippers. His hands remained loosely around her waist, fearing

Mrs. Ford Sr. frowned, her voice stern as she reprimanded, "Even if they're helpers, they're helpers of the Ford family, not yours to dictate to."Xena suddenly chuckled, her eyes filled with mockery. "If I'm not part of the Ford family, what about Haley? Mrs. Ford Sr., your favoritism couldn't be more obvious, could it?""My friendship with Haley's mother goes way back, and I've watched her grow up. Even if I'm biased, what can you do about it?"Mrs. Ford Sr. had never encountered such audacity before. To marry into the family and disrespect the elders was one thing, but to accuse her of favoritism was another. She lacked even the basic manners!But Xena had no intention of letting it go. She sneered, "Even if you favor Haley, so what? Won’t you still rely on me to carry on the family line in the future? Mrs. Ford Sr., I warn you, stay out of my business in the future. Otherwise, once I take over the Ford family, you'll be the first one I kick out!"For Xena, marrying into the Fo

If Shane had a child, naturally, they would have the capability to inherit. Even if they lacked capability, Mrs. Ford Sr. would not mistreat them. She would give them a portion of shares, ensuring their retirement without any issues.But James, he lacked the acumen for business just the same. A few summers ago, Evelyn asked her to let James intern at the company to gain experience, and she agreed. But what happened? On his first day, he filled in the contract amount incorrectly, causing the company to lose millions. The next day, he printed the meeting materials wrong, almost jeopardizing a partnership. Such incidents were numerous.Since then, she had never mentioned letting James inherit the company again. But she never expected that coming from Xena, it would turn into favoritism! Suddenly, she lost interest in arguing, because some people simply would not listen to these so-called explanations. They would only believe what they wanted to believe.But Xena thought Mrs. Ford S

Xena widened her eyes in disbelief. "James, are you blaming me for being unreasonable?"James furrowed his brows. "That's not what I mean. I just want to get to the bottom of things. Grandma wouldn't just get angry with you for no reason.""So you still doubt me?" Xena turned away, looking aggrieved, and started to sob."So this is what you think of me? I see now. I'll go apologize to those helpers. Even if I'm looked down upon, insulted, or mistreated, it's my own fault!"Seeing her getting emotional, James quickly reached out to her. "What are you saying? Mistreated? Did those helpers mistreat you?"Xena remained silent, quietly wiping away her tears, which only confirmed James's suspicions even more.He was furious, ready to call the butler over, but then remembered that the butler had already left. After a moment of silence, he said to Xena, "Since the helpers are already asleep, let's discuss this tomorrow."Xena stomped her foot in frustration but dared not be openly defia

This was also the aspect of the Ford family that Xena detested the most! Meeting Shane's cold and profound gaze, Xena involuntarily shrank her shoulders. She suddenly recalled Mrs. Ford Sr.'s words from last night. There was nothing wrong with Shane's body. He had no hidden illnesses and was perfectly capable of having children. In other words, her previous plans might fall apart, and Haley could get pregnant and give birth to the Ford family's heir. This realization filled Xena with an unprecedented sense of crisis. Because of this, she had not slept well all night. No, Haley must not get pregnant. She had to figure out a solution!Suppressing the fear in her heart, Xena pretended to be calm and said, "I really don't know anything, Uncle Shane. Please don't accuse me. I know Haley doesn't like me, and she might say bad things about me, but it's okay. I won't hold it against her. After all, she's my sister."Shane sneered, "Quit pointing fingers at Haley. She's never brough
