Haley gave the bodyguards a signal. They immediately grabbed Joe and dragged him to the floor. Haley watched coldly, then sat down on the couch to enjoy the show.

The bodyguards, well-trained and knowledgeable about the human body, knew exactly where to hit to cause pain without leaving marks. Even though Joe had heart issues, they controlled their strength, ensuring he suffered without triggering a heart attack.

After a round of punches and kicks, Joe was in agony, every movement causing sharp pain. He crawled to the bedside and pressed the call button for the nurse. "Help, help me... I'm dying. Call the police!"

The nurse rushed in, saw the bodyguards, and froze in fear, not daring to move.

Haley, supporting her chin with her hand, gave a gentle smile. "Don't be afraid, go ahead and check him."

The nurse, blushing and heart racing from Haley's smile, stammered, "Okay, okay." She quickly examined Joe, who expected to hear he was gravely injured. However, after a thorough check,

    Joe struggled desperately as he saw Haley looking through his call records, panic rising within him. "Haley, give me my phone back! Give it back now!"He couldn't let her find out he had sent Xena to the capital. Who knows what she might do if she found out?Haley's eyes narrowed as she glanced at the phone screen, then at Joe. "What are you so afraid of?""I'm not... I'm not afraid of anything," Joe stammered, his eyes darting around.Haley continued, "When did you meet William? What has he been telling you?""Who is William? I don't know what you're talking about. I don't know him. Stop accusing me! And Haley, if you lay a hand on me again, I won't let you get away with it!"Haley studied his expression. Seeing that he wasn’t lying, she dropped the subject. She twirled the phone in her hand before pocketing it. "Given your recent behavior, I'm confiscating your phone. Maybe this will teach you a lesson."Without waiting for Joe's furious response, she turned and left. Joe was

    Shane gently patted Haley's back, soothing her in a low voice. "Don't get upset. It's not worth it over someone like him.""I just find it so infuriating. Who goes around attacking people indiscriminately? Was his life so miserable that he can't stand to see others happy?" Haley fumed, thinking of William's seemingly nonchalant yet underhanded demeanor. Once she got something on him, she would definitely teach him a lesson!Watching Haley’s animated, almost fierce expression, Shane couldn't help but chuckle. "William... I'll find a way to have a proper talk with him."He didn't want things to escalate to open conflict.Haley squinted at him, cupping his face and studying him intently. Shane, his face caught in her hands, asked helplessly, "Why are you looking at me like that?"Haley wrinkled her nose. "I just feel like you treat William differently. Why is that?"Typically, legitimate and illegitimate children were at odds. Moreover, William's attitude toward Shane was one of c

    Shane silently sighed, his fingers gently pinching the bridge of his nose. "His mother... died in that kidnapping."Haley was shocked again, her mouth opening but no words coming out. "How... how did that happen?"Shane's eyes lowered, his tone heavy. "I only found out recently. We were too young at the time, and my mom kept it from me."He had never understood why William harbored such hatred toward him. But when he saw the information, everything became clear. Although William's mother had kidnapped them, causing Haley's memory loss, she didn't deserve to die for it.Haley, recovering from her shock, asked in a trembling voice, "Mr. Ford, can you tell me what exactly happened back then?"Sensing her anxiety, Shane gently stroked her back, his deep voice soothing. "Don't worry, it's a family matter. It has nothing to do with you.""I just want to know what happened," Haley insisted."William's mother originally intended to kidnap me," Shane began. "But you were always so attach

    "Is that why William hates you so much? Was he there during the kidnapping too?" Haley lowered her head, unable to sort out her emotions.She quickly comforted Shane, worried he might blame himself. "Mr. Ford, you can’t take all the responsibility. This isn’t your fault. It's all on William’s mother."Shane nodded, smiling as he ruffled Haley's hair. "I know. I wanted you to understand that this is between William and me. You owe him nothing. If he dares to come after you, I'll show him my patience has limits."Haley was his soft spot, his Achilles' heel.Haley nodded obediently. "Got it. I’ll remember."After their talk, Haley clung to Shane's neck, not wanting to let go, and he let her hold on. When Layla came in with some fruit, she blushed at the sight of them."Am I interrupting? Should I come back later?"Haley, her face flushed, patted Shane's shoulder, signaling him to let her go. Instead of loosening his grip, he held her tighter, giving Layla a sidelong glance. "Just l

    Understanding the implication behind Shane's words, Haley's cheeks instantly flushed pink. She tilted her head up, glaring at him. "Stop saying nonsense.""I'm not," Shane replied, taking her delicate hand and kissing it lightly before quickly heading towards the bedroom.As the door closed, Haley felt a strong arm wrap around her slender waist, pulling her backward. In the next moment, she was enveloped in Shane's embrace, his fresh, woody scent surrounding her, spreading through her senses."Mmm..." Haley couldn't help but let out a soft moan as her body was gently turned to face him. Her back pressed against the door, she wrapped her arms around Shane's neck, responding passionately.Her reaction was like adding fuel to a fire. Shane felt his whole body heat up, his desire intensifying. His eyes deepened, filled with longing as he gazed at her.Haley's breathing became uneven, struggling to keep up. But Shane showed no signs of letting her go. One hand held her soft waist, whil

    Although the food she usually ate was nutritious, it was so bland that it had affected her appetite.Shane lowered his head to gently rest his forehead against hers, smiling as he comforted her, "Wifey, you worked hard last night. How about we go out for a bit to relax?""You go ahead. Just don't drink too much and come back early," Haley said as she got up and gave Shane a kiss on the cheek.Shane raised his hand, lightly touching the spot where she had kissed him, a smile forming on his lips.After breakfast, Shane ruffled Haley's hair, gave her a few reminders, and then left. He handled some business at the company and held a meeting before it was time to go.The event he was attending tonight was just a small cocktail party hosted by a relatively well-known bank manager in Jasper City. Typically, a high-profile figure like Shane wouldn’t attend such events, but he had found out that William would be there. Recently, Shane had been trying to reach William, who had been laying

    William had a tall, imposing figure with striking, defined features. His white casual suit gave him a gentle and refined appearance, and the smile on his lips added a touch of warmth. He was the complete opposite of Shane's cold demeanor. From about five meters away, Shane locked eyes with him. William clearly noticed him too and flashed an innocent smile. "Shane, long time no see."Shane glanced at him indifferently and quickly looked away. "You went through all this trouble just to make me come to you, didn't you?""That's not it. I just wanted to add a bit of fun to this game," William said, closely watching Shane's face, not wanting to miss any reaction. However, Shane's face remained expressionless, his eyes devoid of any emotion. "You succeeded. Now, tell me, what do you want?"William didn't answer immediately. Instead, he glanced at Director Zaffron, who quickly picked up on the tense atmosphere. "Uh, I have other guests to attend to. You two talk, you two talk..." He hu

    Years ago, William's mother had kidnapped him and Haley, holding a knife to their throats and stabbing him multiple times in a fit of rage. This explained his long coma after being rescued, during which he missed out on ten years with Haley. It was a loss that made Shane harbor a deep-seated hatred for that woman.As William listened, his grip on the railing tightened, veins bulging on the back of his hand. "She was my mother, Shane. Do you even know what kind of life I've had these past ten years?"Shane lifted his gaze and spoke deliberately, "I know what you're getting at, but even if I had to choose again, I'd make the same decision."He continued, "I understand your desire for revenge for your mother, but if you so much as think about targeting Haley, I will not let you off. Consider yourself warned."With that, Shane shot him a cold glance before turning and leaving without looking back.Watching Shane's retreating figure, William clenched his fists so tightly that his knu

    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
