Hearing Yvonne's name, Shane's expression hardened, his voice growing even colder. "Speak."

"Shane, you need to prepare yourself for this," Henry cautioned repeatedly, worried that his friend might explode in anger.

Shane remained expressionless. "If you won't talk, I'll hang up."

Henry pursed his lips, realizing his concern was unnecessary. Shane's resilience was impressive, and he did not need Henry worrying about him. Clearing his throat, Henry revealed his findings.

"I discovered that over twenty years ago, Yvonne indeed had close relationships with several men. These men privately called her a homewrecker, claiming she ruined their families. One of these men is someone you know well."

Shane's brows furrowed, his gaze icy. He asked, "Is it my brother?"

"Yes. How did you guess that? I found out that back then, there were rumors about your brother and Yvonne being very close. They often appeared together at various events. No wonder Joe felt he was being cheated on."

    Steven sighed, rubbing his temples. "Actually, I should be the one apologizing to you. If it weren't for Evelyn and Stella, you wouldn't be in such a difficult position."Shane took a sip of his wine without saying a word.Steven continued, "I've already heard about Stella colluding with the design competition judges. I've sent her back to her hometown. She won't have another chance to target Haley."A flicker of surprise crossed Shane's eyes. He had not expected Steven, usually so submissive, to actually send Stella away. For years, Steven had been known for being under Evelyn's thumb. He thought Steven would just let the matter go.Seeing the shock in Shane's eyes, Steven gave a bitter smile. "Do you think your brother is a failure? I've been controlled by a woman all these years."Shane's gaze shifted slightly as he cautiously asked, "Why have you tolerated Evelyn's behavior all this time? You weren't always like this in the past."Steven had once been a handsome, spirited man

    After Shane left, Steven downed the rest of his wine in one gulp. He leaned back on the couch, lost in thought. His vision grew hazy, and he saw a frail figure before him. Unconsciously, he reached out his hand, murmuring, "Yvonne..." But as soon as his hand stretched out, he grasped nothing but air. The figure vanished, leaving his palm empty. Tears welled up in his eyes as his voice choked with emotion. "Yvonne, how could you be so heartless to leave me like this? I still have so much to say to you."At that moment, his phone rang loudly, disrupting his thoughts. Annoyed, Steven hung up. But the phone rang again shortly after. He picked it up, glanced at the caller ID, and answered. His voice was cold, as if he were speaking to an enemy rather than his wife."What do you want?"On the other end, Evelyn's heart skipped a beat, anger surging through her. "Steven, where the hell have you been? It's bad enough you were gone before, but now that you're back, you don't even come

    Evelyn had been expecting Steven to relent, but she was stunned when he mentioned divorce. Her eyes widened in disbelief. "What did you say? Divorce?"Her voice was sharp and piercing, almost enough to burst eardrums. Steven held the phone away, frowning in disgust.Evelyn screamed into the phone, "I won’t agree! Steven, you bastard! I've worked so hard for this family all these years. Even if I haven't achieved anything, I've put in the effort. How dare you mention divorce! Aren't you worried that I'll release the video?""If you have the guts, go ahead. But let me warn you, you know what Shane is capable of. If he gets angry, he can strip you of everything."After hanging up, Steven turned off his phone and tossed it aside. He had been suppressed for too long. Years ago, he had not married Evelyn out of love. She had taken advantage of him while he was drunk and climbed into his bed. He had given her a large sum of money to buy birth control, but she had taken the money and not

    Feeling as if he had stumbled upon a big secret, Henry was left speechless. When there was silence on the other end of the line for a while, he grew nervous."Shane, are you okay?""Help me investigate Evelyn in detail," Shane instructed. Given how long ago this happened and its connection to Haley's mother, he decided it was best to keep the investigation discreet.Henry, feeling overwhelmed, sighed. Why did Zac have to leave at a time like this? Henry was not good at keeping secrets, and now he had this huge one with no one to share it with. "Alright, Shane, you can count on me," Henry replied, knowing he could not stand by and watch Haley get hurt.After hanging up, Shane rubbed his temples, feeling a wave of exhaustion. Just then, his phone rang. Seeing the caller ID, his expression softened immediately. He answered, his deep voice filled with warmth, "Haley?""Mr. Ford, it's so late. Why aren't you home yet? Did something happen?""No, I'm on my way back now. I'll

    Shane's eyes revealed a hint of surprise. "Why would you think that? Don't worry, I'm just tired from work and had a drink with my brother tonight.""Is your brother back from abroad?" Haley asked."Yes, we had some drinks together, so I got back late," Shane explained.Haley nodded, not pressing further. Although she respected Steven, the awkwardness from the broken engagement and the constant targeting from Evelyn and Stella made her reluctant to keep in touch.Shane lay on his side, one arm around Haley's shoulder, pulling her close, while the other arm circled her waist, his fingers playing with her hair. After a while, he looked down at her and cautiously asked, "I've made arrangements for Joe to have a rough time in prison, but since Xena is pregnant, she won't be held for long. How do you plan to handle her?""As long as she stays out of trouble, I won't bother her. But if she causes problems, I won't hold back," Haley replied, snuggling closer to Shane and finding a comf

    Had she known, she should have driven this little bastard out of the Carter family, letting her fend for herself. Now, her entire family was ruined because of Haley, and their fate was miserable! She could not understand why a venomous woman like Haley still existed in this world. She put all her strength into that slap, whipping the air with her hand. Haley took two steps back, dodging the attack.The butler and the helpers did not relax for a second. The moment Zoe lashed out, they pinned her arms behind her back, rendering her immobile. "Stay still! The real vicious person here is you. You destroyed another family, abused the original wife's child, and even instigated your daughter to steal an engagement. How dare you call our madam wicked?"Zoe struggled desperately. However, the butler, a trained adult male, held her down firmly. It left her no room to resist. Hearing the butler's words, Zoe burst into a maniacal laugh. "Destroy another family? Do you think Yvonne wa

    "When you condoned Xena stealing my engagement, did you ever think of giving me a way out?"When you secretly bribed a gambler to trick me into marriage and steal my inheritance, did you ever imagine you'd end up like this?"Who's more vicious than you?"Haley's voice was calm, almost devoid of any emotion, yet it sent chills down one's spine.Zoe felt her heart pounding as if it would leap out of her chest. Her mind went blank, consumed by a single thought, which was escape! Haley was a madwoman, even more terrifying than Yvonne had been.Despite her fear, Zoe had no intention of repenting. She did not think she had done anything wrong. It was normal for men to fool around. She had grown up poor and wanted to attach herself to a wealthy man to change her life. What was wrong with that?The one at fault was Yvonne. Despite her infidelity, she continued to occupy the position of Mrs. Carter. If it weren't for that slut, Zoe would have become Mrs. Carter long ago, enjoying a life

    Hearing that Haley was in trouble, Shane rushed home without delay. The butler was directing the helpers to clean up the mess. Zoe had caused quite a scene in the yard, destroying many of the carefully cultivated plants. Looking at the devastation, the butler's face twisted with pain. It was not just about the value of these plants. He had nurtured them himself and had grown attached to them. That Zoe was truly despicable!"No, I’m not going to let it slide," he muttered to himself. "You there, make a list of everything that's been damaged. Zoe has to compensate for every single one of them!" the butler ordered.Shane walked in with a grim expression, surveying the chaos. "Bob, is Haley alright?""Sir, you’re back. Don’t worry, with us here, there’s no way Zoe could hurt her. Madam is resting in her room, but she might have been frightened. You should check on her."Relieved but still concerned, Shane hurried upstairs. However, instead of the expected fear and distress, he fo

    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
