In simpler terms, as long as there was money in Shane's main card, there shouldn't have been any issues. Unless the card had been frozen. But he couldn't fathom why Shane would do that.

Though their bond wasn't particularly tight, Shane wouldn't act so coldly as long as he didn't make any major blunders. That evening, he had been embarrassed in front of his friends, harboring resentment towards Shane ever since.

Later, when he tried calling Shane, his calls were consistently rejected. Even inquiries to the butler yielded no information. So these past few days had been maddening for him. Unable to contain his impatience, he directly asked, "Uncle, I don't know what I did wrong. Why did you freeze my card?"

Shane lowered his gaze, his tousled hair covering the icy expression in his eyes. In response to James's inquiry, Shane replied casually, "Why? Because the money in the card is all earned by me. I can give it if I want, and naturally, I can take it back."

James was left speechless

    James glared at the phone, now disconnected, feeling a surge of rage building up inside him. He gritted his teeth, tempted to hurl the device across the room. His buddy, Huxley Hall, who was often indulged in partying with him, acted fast, snatching the phone from his grip."James, this is my phone. If you smash it, my old man will kill me!" Huxley's dad was a self-made man, once a contractor at a construction site who struck it rich overnight. Huxley's lackluster academic performance and his love for partying often left his dad fuming.It was already the third phone he had gone through this month. He had drained his pocket money to settle debts with James. If this phone broke, he would have to ask his dad for money again. Given his dad's explosive temper, he might end up getting a lecture or worse.James looked at his empty hands. He was already furious, and now even more so. "I'll just buy you another one if it breaks. Why are you so stingy?"Huxley cautiously stowed away the pho

    "What?" James didn't catch it clearly, so he asked curiously, "Mom, what happened? Who were you talking about just now?"Evelyn hesitated, recalling Mrs. Ford Sr.'s warning that day, sending a shiver down her spine. Ever since she found out that Shane had actually married Haley, she had been sick with rage, feeling light-headed and unable to get out of bed.Up to now, her condition hadn't improved. Every time she thought about it, she couldn't help but simmer with anger, her head throbbing faintly."I can't bring myself to say it. You'll find out when you come back."As she finished, her voice began to falter.James wanted to ask more questions, but his mom abruptly ended the call.He stared at his phone blankly, not sure what had happened.Huxley also overheard James's conversation with his mom, and the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became."What's happening?" he asked anxiously.James shook his head, indicating that he was clueless too.His mom had asked him

    Haley didn't finish the rest of her words, but Shane already understood.He had heard from Mrs. Ford Sr. that although Yvonne had high business acumen, her initial dream was actually to stand on stage and play the violin. When she met Joe, she was the leading violinist of a well-known orchestra in the country.Later, Yvonne gave up her dream for love and ventured into entrepreneurship with Joe. Despite Joe's ambitions, he lacked talent in this area.Yvonne had to desperately study various financial knowledge to become a capable assistant to Joe. She devoted herself wholeheartedly, giving everything for Joe. Yet, she failed to realize that some men couldn't cope with the idea of their partners surpassing them in strength.Recalling these events, Shane let out a silent sigh and approached Haley, gently running his hand through her hair."Haley, Mom will definitely be watching.""Mm, I believe so too."A soft smile adorned Haley's lips, her eyes gleaming with confidence.The follo

    Xena believed that as long as she adopted a victim stance in front of others, everyone's hearts would lean towards her, and Haley would become the target of public criticism.But why did it backfire this time?When did Haley start changing? Or has she been putting on a facade all these years?Wasn't her manipulation too deep?Haley noticed the fear in Xena's eyes, smirked, and cautioned her, "Don't come to me seeking attention in the future. If you provoke me, your chances of marrying into the Ford family might just disappear."After saying that, she turned and walked away without a second glance, leaving Xena with only her resolute yet elegant silhouette.Xena watched her departing figure intently, her mind completely blank.It wasn't until Haley had disappeared from sight that Xena realized she had been holding her breath, her nerves on edge.As she regained her composure, she felt a desperate need for air.Riley, visibly shaken, her face drained of color, patted her chest i

    Riley felt that Xena's worry was unnecessary. It wasn't the first time she had done something like this. She had been friends with Xena since high school. Back then, Xena was even more timid and frequently targeted by bullies. Each time, Riley would exact revenge discreetly, without detection. She was confident this time wouldn't be any different.Just before leaving, Riley suddenly recalled something. She glanced around cautiously and leaned in to Xena, lowering her voice, "You've got to shine today. Word is a VIP is coming to inspect."Xena, taken aback, queried, "Who's this VIP? Why haven't I heard about it?"Riley responded, "It's legit. I caught wind of it near the principal's office. I'm not sure who exactly is coming, but if the principal's making a fuss, they must be important."A glint of calculation flickered in Xena's eyes as she looked gratefully at Riley, "Riley, thanks for the heads up. I'll give it my all."Riley grinned, "No need for thanks. Just focus on your

    Haley swiftly changed into the gown and admired herself in the mirror with a satisfied smile. However, her smile gradually faded as she noticed a small tear along the fabric's seam. She delicately touched the almost imperceptible tear with her fingertips, her expression turning serious. Given her slender figure, the tear hadn't widened, but she knew she couldn't risk going out like this.As she was set to perform on the violin, she would need to raise her arms. If the tear occurred onstage, everyone at the school event would see it, and the photographers would capture the moment...Haley couldn't bear to dwell on the situation any longer. She hastily changed out of the gown. With the show about to begin, she couldn't afford to go onstage like this. She needed to find a solution.Frowning in concentration, Haley remembered there were sewing supplies in the drawer outside the fitting room. The school had prepared for various performance mishaps.She swiftly changed out of the gown,

    After a long silence from inside the room, Riley furrowed her brows slightly. She raised her voice to Haley, "You stay put in there. Remember, from now on, stay out of Xena's way. Otherwise, I won't let you off the hook."Haley sneered, "You're quite loyal to Xena, huh? How many favors has she done for you?""Don't talk nonsense. Xena and I are best friends. How can you measure that with material things?"Haley raised an eyebrow, unable to believe there could be someone so foolish in the world. She suddenly burst into laughter, continuing to question Riley, "But you've done so much for her, and she's not even willing to give you material things. It seems you mean nothing to her after all.""Shut up! Xena said I'm her best friend!" Riley was provoked and shouted angrily.But Haley responded with a cold "Oh," seeming skeptical.Riley felt a surge of frustration, feeling stuck in a difficult situation. She wanted to give examples to prove how good Xena was to her, but she could not

    She struggled to hold back her tears, not wanting Shane to detect her vulnerability, but her voice trembled with emotion, making it hard to hide.Shane's concern was evident in his tone as he asked, "Haley, where are you? What's going on?"Hearing his concerned and anxious tone, Haley almost couldn't hold back her tears. But she didn't want Shane to worry about her, so she tried her best to control her emotions and reassured him, "I'm fine, just had a minor mishap."Shane's frown deepened, and he pressed for details, "Where exactly are you now? Haley, be honest with me."Caught off guard by his sternness, Haley confessed, "I'm at school. I accidentally got locked in the fitting room."Shane immediately sensed foul play. A steely determination filled his gaze as he instructed, "Stay put, I'm on my way. Don't hang up."Though puzzled by his urgency, Haley complied.Glancing at her phone's battery, showing only 2%, she wondered how much longer it would last. Assuming Shane was stil

    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
