"Mr. Carter, no matter how much you resent it, our Miss Haley remains the most outstanding and wonderful person. Even though you have never cared for her all these years, she has still worked hard to live her life. You have no right to slander her."

Joe had not taken this young girl seriously at first, but hearing these words, he could not help but look at her with new respect.

"Hmph... Haley is just like her vile mother, getting better at bewitching people."

Layla's face turned red with anger. She pulled out a stack of documents from her bag and coldly said, "Mr. Carter, you have no right to insult Miss Haley's mother. Miss Haley asked me to give this to you. Take a good look."

With that, she did not want to stay a moment longer and quickly left.

Joe sneered, picking up the documents. He was curious to see what tricks Haley was up to now.

However, as he read through the contents, he froze. His initially nonchalant expression turned to shock, his expression growing darker and h

    After hanging up the phone, Haley immediately arranged for someone to investigate which hospital Joe had been taken to. However, before she could start the search, the hospital called her."Hello, is this Miss Haley? This is Jasper City Hospital. Mr. Joe Carter had a heart attack and is in critical condition. We need a family member present."Haley took a deep breath, realizing the situation was dire. "Alright, I'll be there right away."After hanging up, Haley grabbed her car keys and rushed out. Half an hour later, she arrived at the hospital and ran towards the emergency room.Despite her anger towards Joe, Haley had never wished for his death. It was not about harboring any lingering affection. She simply did not want blood on her hands or to deal with the legal ramifications. Joe could die, but not yet. There were still many unresolved issues for him to explain, so he could not just die now.Panting as she reached the outside of the operating room, Haley did not waste a m

    Haley came back to her senses and gently shook her head. "I’m not feeling guilty, I’m just wondering why my mom fell for Joe."Joe had nothing going for him except his looks. He had no skills, a chauvinistic attitude, loved saving face, and wasn’t kind or caring to her mother at all. She could not understand what her mother saw in him that was worth holding onto.Shane chuckled. "Love doesn’t make sense. It’s like how I love you. There’s no reason for it. I just do."Haley blushed, not expecting him to flirt in such a serious moment. "Stop talking nonsense. Behave yourself."Shane’s smile deepened, and he leaned in close, his lips almost touching hers. "Everything I said is true. I just love you, and I will never let you down."Facing Shane’s deep, sincere gaze, Haley’s heart raced. She stared at the man in front of her, and when he was about to kiss her, she closed her eyes.Just as their lips were about to touch, a loud cough erupted from the hospital bed. Joe glared at the c

    Haley shook her head silently, feeling a twinge of sympathy for Joe. At the same time, a sly idea began to form in her mind. Maybe letting Xena out was not such a bad idea. They might end up fighting each other, and she could enjoy the show.With a mischievous glint in her eyes, Haley said, "Joe, do you remember the condition I mentioned the other day? If you tell me why you slandered my mother, I might consider releasing Xena and Sue."Joe's eyes lit up. "Are you serious?"Haley nodded."Put it in writing. I don't trust you."Joe eyed her warily, filled with suspicion. He could not afford to make any mistakes now.Haley agreed, and Shane fetched paper and pen from a nurse. She quickly wrote down the promise and signed it.Shane glanced at Haley with concern, his expression tense. He had already uncovered part of the truth about Yvonne and worried that Haley might not be able to handle it.Joe, seeing Haley's signature, smirked. "Actually, back then, your mother and I were

    "A woman hanging out with a bunch of men every day? She knows better than anyone how those deals were made!" Joe sneered.Haley, infuriated, grabbed Joe by the collar. Her eyes were blazing with anger as she spoke. "If she hadn't worked so hard, would you have enjoyed all those years of luxury? She gave up everything, even her beloved violin, to help you. How dare you slander her?"The more she listened, the more Haley's heart ached for her mother. As a child, she only knew her parents' relationship was strained and saw her mother cry daily. But she never realized how much her mother had endured.Her heart felt like it was being pierced by countless sharp knives, each one leaving her more shattered. She could barely breathe from the pain, and she wanted nothing more than to tear Joe apart.Joe struggled to breathe as Haley's grip tightened on his collar, his face turning red. He tried to pry her hands away, his eyes pleading with Shane for help. "Mr. Ford, help me..."Shane merely

    Before Haley could speak, Shane tugged on her arm. His sharp gaze locked onto Joe as he slightly smirked. "Do you think you can slander my mother-in-law with just your words? Why should we believe you?"Joe straightened his face and huffed, "Believe it or not, I have the evidence. If you don't comply, I'll release the photos anytime."When Yvonne was alive, Joe held onto those photos out of spite. She died not knowing he still had them. Haley exchanged a glance with Shane, feeling her heart sink. Joe did not seem to be lying.Could the photos be real? No matter the content, if Joe got angry and released them, the consequences would be disastrous.Taking a deep breath, Haley forced herself to stay calm. Panicking now would only give Joe the upper hand. "Joe, I might consider releasing Sue and Xena, but you'll have to prove you have the photos first. Otherwise, I'm taking a huge risk."Joe's eyes flickered. After a moment of thought, he nodded. "Alright, three days from now

    Joe lay on the bed, breathing deeply. He was terrified of dying. He was only in his fifties and he still wanted to live a long life. He could not afford to let anything happen to him now.Thinking of this, a vicious gleam flashed in Joe's eyes. Haley, that little brat, why hadn't she just died already? If he had known it would come to this, he never would have softened and kept her around. Now, she was nothing but trouble.Taking another deep breath to steady himself, Joe turned to the nurse. "Nurse, when can I be discharged?"The nurse looked surprised. "You’re in no condition to be discharged. The doctor said you need to stay in the hospital for at least ten days to two weeks.""What? No, I can't stay that long! I have important things to take care of!" Joe's agitation caused his chest to ache again.The nurse sighed. "Mr. Carter, Miss Haley already paid your hospital bills. You should stay and rest." She mumbled under her breath, "I don’t understand these rich families. With

    After work, Shane went to pick up Haley, and they headed to the hospital together. Joe was holding a photo, looking quite smug and much healthier than a few days ago."Well? I kept my word and brought the photo. Now let Xena and Sue go," he demanded. As for Zoe, her well-being did not concern him in the slightest. Ten days in detention was nothing, and she would be released soon enough. There was no need to make a fuss over her. But Xena was different. She had been pampered all her life and must have suffered greatly in there. The thought of it pained Joe, and he desperately wanted to get Xena out as soon as possible.Haley scoffed and took the photo. She glanced at it and found it was not as incriminating as Joe had claimed. The photo was taken in a private room at a five-star restaurant. Yvonne was surrounded by men in suits, holding a wine glass as if toasting. One man’s hand hovered near Yvonne's waist, but it was clear from her expression and body language that she was

    When Haley learned the truth, she didn't know whether to feel happy about Joe's misfortune or pity him. The daughter he had cherished for so many years wasn't even his, and he had been kept in the dark the whole time, giving everything for her.Haley sighed inwardly and shook her head. Next to her, both Shane and Dean had similarly complicated expressions. Shane’s expression remained stoic and unreadable as always, but Dean couldn’t hold back his amusement. Watching the heartfelt reunion between Joe and Xena, Dean struggled to suppress his laughter, almost hurting himself in the process. Joe was, without a doubt, the biggest fool Dean had ever seen. To an outsider, the reunion might have seemed touching, but knowing the truth, Dean found it hilarious. He finally let out a laugh, which echoed abruptly in the hospital room.Joe and Xena turned to him, clearly annoyed. "Why are you all still here?" Joe snapped.Dean cleared his throat, regaining his composure, and retorte

    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
