Years ago, Lawyer Cruz rose to fame with a high-profile murder case, becoming a legend in the legal world. However, later on, he shifted his focus to corporate law and was not as aggressive as before.

What exactly transpired in between, Haley did not know. But she believed that Lawyer Cruz had always been an ambitious individual.

Lawyer Cruz smiled but said nothing, though his eyes conveyed an indescribable weariness.

In the JY conference room, Joe gathered all the shareholders for the shareholders' meeting. The online controversy had escalated significantly, and all the shareholders were tacitly aware, eager to hear what Joe had to say.

As the meeting began, Joe put on a sorrowful expression and bowed in front of all the shareholders. "I'm truly sorry to all the shareholders!"

Many shareholders were puzzled and started with pleasantries, "Mr. Carter, what are you talking about? This matter really isn't your fault."

    The statement caused a stir in the conference room. Shareholders were shocked, exclaiming, "What? Haley still harbors such wild ambitions!" "Mr. Carter, I have to say, cutting ties is the right thing to do! A woman with such devious intentions can't be trusted." "Is our company a bazaar where anyone can come and go as they please?"As everyone expressed their indignation, Joe smirked, about to say something, when suddenly the conference room door was pushed open. "Well, I'd like to see who the deceitful one really is." A crisp, pleasing voice silenced the room, and all eyes turned towards the door. As they recognized the figure standing there, the shareholders gasped in shock. Haley? What was she doing here? Haley stood at the doorway, her gaze sweeping through the conference room with icy indifference, devoid of any warmth. In fact, she had arrived long ago and had been listening at the door for quite some time. Although she had anticipated that Joe would badmouth her

    The shareholders exchanged glances, each lost in their own thoughts. Despite being Yvonne's daughter, Haley had rarely been involved in the company in recent years due to Joe's deliberate precautions. As a result, they had never really interacted with Haley and were unfamiliar with her true character. When Joe spoke ill of Haley, they naturally took his side.But upon seeing Haley's appearance, everyone wavered. She resembled Yvonne too much, almost like a carbon copy. It was as if they were seeing Yvonne herself standing before them. Upon hearing Haley's words, everyone checked what was trending on social media, only to discover that the top trending topics were all about her. This level of attention was even more intense than that received by A-list celebrities in the entertainment industry.Of course, much of the credit belonged to Joe. As they clicked through the posts one by one, their brows furrowed involuntarily.Lawyer Cruz, acting on behalf of Haley, issued a statement

    Joe choked up, his eyes flickering uncontrollably. "The innocent have nothing to fear. All of this is deliberately framed by Haley to set me up. I have nothing more to say!"Stepping out from behind the lady, Haley's gaze was mocking. "That's not how it works. You accuse me of framing you, so you must provide evidence, right?"Joe glared fiercely at Haley. "You did it on purpose!"Haley raised her eyebrows, nodding gently. "Yes, I did it on purpose. But I can guarantee that everything I say is true. Can you?"Could he? Of course not! No one knew better than him that those so-called plagiarisms and the topics on social media were all bought with money. As for the shares, it was indeed a trap set by him for Haley.Seeing Joe speechless, the shareholders' opinion began to shift gradually."Joe, we originally thought you just lacked ability, but now it seems you're the one rotten to the core!""With you as the president of JY, it's simply embarrassing!""If only Yvonne were here.

    "Shane! It's Shane Ford!""Mr. Ford, what brings you here? This is the meeting room of our company, JY!"Shane stood in front of Haley and glanced lightly at the person who spoke, his lips curling slightly as he spoke, "To pick up my wife. Do you have any objections?"The person met Shane's cold gaze and immediately fell silent. Who would dare to object? Mr. Ford's reputation was not just for show. It was as formidable as the devil himself.Joe stood frozen in place, staring foolishly at Shane, feeling another ominous premonition rising in his heart."Mr. Ford, this is JY's meeting room. Please leave!" Shane was holding Haley's hand. Upon hearing this, he lifted his gaze, a faint smile playing at the corners of his lips."You're mistaken, Mr. Carter. The one who should leave is you."Before Joe could comprehend the true meaning of these words, the noise of footsteps outside the door interrupted. Several police officers in uniforms walked in and said, "Who is Joe Carter?"Jo

    However, despite this, their opinions remained unshakeable. Haley had never managed a company before, and they were hesitant to entrust their entire fortunes to a mere inexperienced girl. Facing the shareholders' doubts, Haley remained unfazed. "The shares Joe cheated from me will be retrieved as soon as possible. By then, I will become the largest shareholder of JY, and this is an unchangeable fact."The crowd tensed at her words. Haley's argument was not without merit. According to the company's regulations, after Joe stepped down, no one's shares could surpass hers. But did they really want to hand the company over to Haley? They were unsure, yet they couldn't think of a better alternative.Finally, Declan Wilson, sitting beside Haley, spoke up. "Miss Haley, the future plans you've presented are indeed enticing, but how can we be sure you're not just painting rosy pictures?"A subtle smile played on Haley's lips as she responded, "I've heard that the design department at JY h

    He knew very well that his heart beat only for one person. In fact, he had long known that although Haley had a gentle and meek demeanor, she was never content to be a caged bird. She had a pair of beautiful wings, always ready to soar high into the sky.As Haley confidently addressed the shareholders, saying, "Given all the online buzz lately, I'm confident that many will remember our JY's name. Once word spreads, won't we attract top-notch designers?"The shareholders exchanged glances, their hearts beginning to waver. With years of experience in the business world, they were known for their shrewdness. They consistently prioritized tangible gains, firmly convinced that only what they could hold was genuinely theirs.But at this moment, hearing Haley's words, everyone could not help but feel a surge of excitement, as if what they had been hoping for would soon come true. Of course, there were still a few scattered shareholders who remained skeptical of Haley's reliability. But

    When Zoe and Xena heard the news, they were at home cursing Haley. Their plan was nearly flawless, and they could not understand why it had been exposed. What left them most despairing was Xena's expulsion from Jasper City University. Despite Xena's average academic performance since childhood, Joe had spent a lot of money to please Zoe and Xena. Although Xena had successfully married into a wealthy family and would not need to go out to work in the future, she would never be able to hold her head high in elite social circles. How could they not be furious? Xena paced back and forth in the living room, tightly gripping her skirt as if she wanted to tear it apart. "Haley, this little bitch, is really up to no good. How dare she bite back at me!" Zoe also had a splitting headache. "Damn it, if we had known this little wild seed would be so troublesome, we should have..." She stopped mid-sentence, abruptly cutting herself off. Xena was too upset to hear what she had said. She so

    Capitalizing on this development, many, like Yvonne, seized the opportunity to establish their own companies. However, few could match Yvonne's abilities and achievements. As people outside remarked, Yvonne herself was a miracle.Hearing him earnestly utter the words "our mom," Haley could not help but blush. "That's my mom.""Yeah, you're mine, so your mom is my mom too," Shane replied, his head slightly lowered, a playful glint flickering in his deep eyes. The light cast upon him added a subtle glow, making him irresistible to look away from.Haley quietly gazed at him, her eyes softening. Unable to resist his gaze, Shane curiously asked, "What are you thinking?""I'm thinking... it's really nice to have met you," Haley replied, her heart fluttering.Shane was momentarily stunned, a complex mix of emotions stirring within him. Before he could respond, Haley continued, "If you were the one I had a marriage contract with from the beginning, how wonderful would that be?"Over the

    Since that day, the number of bodyguards at Violet Grove had multiplied several times, and Shane even had the latest security system installed at home. It was a top-of-the-line model with built-in defense mechanisms. If anyone unfamiliar tried to break in, the alarm would go off instantly. After hearing about how close Evangeline and Nicholas had come to being kidnapped, no one thought these precautions were excessive. In fact, they only wished more could be done."This is just despicable! I can’t believe Xena could be so vicious!""We were too soft on her before. Someone like that is just a waste of air."Shane and Haley remained silent, but their thoughts were the same.Shane reassured everyone, "It’s over. Xena will never have another chance to get out."Hearing this, everyone felt a bit more at ease."By the way, where are Mom and Dad? I don't see them," Haley asked, noticing that her parents were not around, though everyone else had gathered.Zac didn’t say anything but q

    Just the thought of what could have happened made Haley’s heart ache unbearably.The nannies stammered for a long time but couldn’t describe the person who had approached them. All they could recall was that the person had been thoroughly covered and that it was a woman.Shane immediately called his assistant, instructing him to investigate as soon as possible.It was past 3 a.m., and Haley still sat at the edge of the bed, unable to close her eyes. Her eyes were red from exhaustion and worry.Shane wrapped his arms around her, whispering words of comfort, "Don’t be afraid, it’s all over now. Everything will be okay."Haley sniffled and nodded. "I know, but I’m still so scared. We were just in time. If we’d been any later…"Shane pressed a kiss to her forehead. "I won’t let anything like this happen again. Trust me."At that moment, Shane's assistant, Dean, walked in, dragging someone who was covered head to toe.The person stumbled, falling to their knees in front of Haley and

    Late that night, Shane and Haley finally sent off the last guest. Haley leaned heavily against Shane, exhaustion written all over her face. "Ugh, no one told me getting married would be this tiring. I'm never doing this again."Shane chuckled. "Who else do you plan on marrying besides me?"Haley blinked innocently at him. "Who says you can't marry the same person twice? That's what they do in books and dramas."Shane sighed, wrapping his arm around her shoulders and gently tapping her on the forehead. "You need to cut back on those dramas."Haley giggled, rubbing her forehead. "Hey, they’re useful! I’ve learned a lot from them."Shane raised an eyebrow. "Oh? What did you learn?"A mysterious smile curved on Haley's lips. "Not telling you. You'll find out if you ever make me mad."Seeing that she wasn’t going to spill the secret, Shane let it go. He bent down and suddenly hoisted Haley over his shoulder.Caught off guard, Haley yelped in surprise. "Shane, what are you doing?"

    Jenny and Charlotte stayed behind to keep Haley company. Jenny teased her with a grin, "Can you believe we’re all getting married now? Back in college, we used to imagine what our future partners would be like."Haley shot her a sideways glance and retorted, "Not ‘we,’ just you. Bet you never imagined you’d end up with someone who’s nothing like your ideal type, huh?"Back then, Haley was still engaged to James Ford. Though James was far from a good guy, Haley felt obligated to honor her mother’s dying wish and marry him. She didn’t spend much time fantasizing about love. Jenny, on the other hand, practically lived in her romantic daydreams."Oh, so you’re teasing me now?" Jenny’s face flushed for a moment, then she lunged at Haley, pretending to tickle her.Haley dodged, laughing, and soon the two were playfully tussling. Watching from the sidelines, Charlotte couldn’t help but smile along with them.Soon after, the wedding officially began. The venue was packed with guests,

    On the fifth of May, the wedding took place as planned.Shane had started preparing the venue two days in advance, meticulously arranging every detail himself. The expansive wedding grounds were filled with romance, from the long red carpet laid out on the lawn to the balloons adding a whimsical touch.Haley donned her wedding dress and let the stylists work their magic, crafting an exquisite look for her. Just then, Shane entered the room, standing behind her with a warm smile."You look absolutely stunning today, Haley. The most beautiful bride in the world," he said, admiration in his voice.Haley turned her head toward him, her face glowing with happiness. "Weren’t you busy greeting the guests? How did you find time to sneak in here?"Ignoring the people around them, Shane bent down and kissed her lightly on the lips. "I stole a little break to come see you," he whispered playfully.At that moment, a teasing voice interrupted them from behind. "You two really can’t stop showi

    After what felt like an eternity, Haley was nearly out of breath when Shane finally let her go reluctantly. However, even though his lips had only pulled away slightly, his hands still firmly gripped her waist."Do you like it?" he asked, his deep eyes filled with affection.Haley blinked innocently. "Like what?""Me," Shane replied with a playful grin, his gaze never leaving her face. "Do you like me?"Her cheeks flushed, and her heart raced as she bit her lip and looked up at him. "Why don’t you guess?"Shane chuckled and pulled her onto his lap. "I’d guess... you do."Caught off guard, Haley let out a small yelp and instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck, shooting him a playful glare. "You already knew, so why ask?"Her response only made Shane laugh harder. After a bit more playful banter, he held her close as they leaned back on the couch. Then he brought up their wedding. "I talked with Mom and your parents. We all agreed that our wedding will be held in a month.

    Haley had always known how much Shane doted on Evangeline, treating her like the apple of his eye. But she hadn’t expected his protectiveness to reach such an extreme level. She couldn’t help but feel both amused and exasperated at the same time.Gently, she grabbed Shane’s hand and comforted him softly, "Alright, alright, don’t be mad. Hugo is only a month old. He didn’t mean any harm. If anything, it just shows how lovable our Evangeline is."Shane sat on the edge of the bed, the tension in his chest easing slightly, but he still couldn’t shake off all his frustration. In his mind, he made a firm decision that he would do everything in his power to protect his little treasure from now on. No one would be allowed to get too close to her again.From that day on, everyone noticed how Shane’s protectiveness over Evangeline had reached a whole new level. He barely let her out of his sight, as if he needed to be by her side 24/7. Anyone who dared approach her was met with a cold, pier

    Jenny couldn't help but laugh. "You haven't seen this little guy when he's awake. He's a real handful. If you did, you'd probably take back all those compliments."When Hugo was awake, he was full of energy, and when he cried, his voice could shake the walls. Jenny looked at Nicholas and Evangeline, who were awake but contentedly sucking on their tiny fists, and said, "These two are so much easier. They’re quiet and calm, the more I look at them, the more I like them."Seeing the twins were awake, Haley quickly leaned over, gently poking their soft, chubby cheeks. "Awake already? You only napped for a little while."Nicholas stared up at Haley with his big eyes, silently taking her in. Evangeline, on the other hand, waved her tiny hand and let out a soft "ah," which nearly melted Henry and Jenny's hearts.Henry knelt beside the crib, unable to tear his eyes away from Evangeline. He playfully reached out to her, and when she giggled at him without fear, he adored her even more. "S

    Haley took a small sip, smiling as she saw the eager look in Shane's eyes. "Mmm, it’s good.""Really?" Shane smiled as well, taking another spoonful for himself. He tasted it thoughtfully before nodding. "Yeah, it’s good. The seasoning is just right, and it’s refreshing. Even with the herbs, it’s not bitter at all."He quickly brought another spoonful to Haley’s lips, feeding her until the bowl was nearly empty.Seeing Haley’s good appetite, Shane tidied up the dishes and called Dean. "Tell the restaurant that all the chefs’ salaries are doubled this month."Dean was momentarily stunned but quickly recovered. "Got it. I’ll take care of it right away."As he hung up the phone, Dean couldn’t help but think, "When will it be my turn for a bonus?"As if Shane could read his thoughts, a low voice came through the receiver. "Haley’s pregnancy has been tough, and you’ve worked hard these past few months too. Your year-end bonus will be tripled, and you’ll get extra vacation days. Spend
