"Welcome home, Anika!" Esther greeted as soon as she stepped into the mansion.When she received Anika's message saying they were already back, she didn't bother to reply and hurriedly got ready to head here.Steward Ben opened the door for her, and seeing the visitor, he couldn't help but furrow his brows.The family just got back. Visiting right at this moment was a little too.."Esther!"Steward Ben swallowed his words and backed away when he saw Anika greeting Esther happily.Well, if the head of the house doesn't see anything wrong, what else could he, as an employee, say?So, Steward Ben backed down.Anika led Esther to the living hall and sat down with her. She didn't think anything was wrong."Little Addie is here, too? No school?" Esther asked with pleasantries and waved to the child.Anika beckoned to Adelaide to come closer."Say hello," She coaxed the child."Hello!" Adelaide greeted with her childish voice.Anika smiled and turned to Esther."No. we took a break to rest f

In the following days, Esther continued to come to the Albrecht mansion. She would cook meals, bring flowers and show her bookish attitude.During meals with Leon, she would deliberately bring up books that Leon reads, which she found out on the internet. She searched hard for Leon's likes and hobbies.Although Leon doesn't talk much every time, she brings up a common topic, but seeing him acknowledge what she knows is a plus for her."Oh, we have the same tastes in books, Mr. Albrecht," Esther said in a gentle voice.She then looked kindly at Anika. And as of comfort, she smiled softly at her."Anika doesn't know anything about this, but it's fine. You'll find your likes someday," She said to her magnanimously.Anika only smiled, but the hand below the table softly pinched her skirt. Eventually, her grin turned to an embarrassed smile.Seeing the other's insecurity, Esther smiled more gently. It looks like her plan is going in the right direction.Even someone as stupid as Anika coul

It was a normal day.As usual, Esther is at the Albrecht mansion.When suddenly, she invited that they should have barbecue for their meal."Barbecue?" Anika asked curiously."It's grilled meat in skewers. It's delicious!" Esther convinced.Anika's eyes brightened."Oh, I think we ate something like that at the beach! It really was delicious!" Anika remembered they had eaten something quite like that. She immediately became excited.Esther smirked and hurriedly said."I don't know if you have things for barbecue here? I know how to grill!" She offered."I'll ask Steward Ben!" Anika hurriedly went to find the butler.Steward Ben heard Anika's request and readily took the things they needed from the storage. He also ordered some of the servants to help carry the things over.The ladies chose one of the gazebos in the garden, close to the south wing of the mansion.Seeing the people bring things over, Esther ordered them."I can handle the grilling here. You can leave after placing the t

Everything happened too fast. Anika was not in her right mind as she followed to the hospital.The image of the fire haunted her mind, and Esther's protective words for her only made her feel guilty.That's right. She doesn't know anything. She's so stupid. That's why she had caused this tragedy.It's her fault.When they arrived at the hospital, fortunately, Esther was not in danger. She just needed some rest and respiratory treatment for the suffocation she experienced.Anika insisted on staying in the hospital and waiting until Esther finished her IV infusion. The latter was resting as of the moment.She waited outside for a few hours as the doctor advised not to let any visitors come into the room first and let the patient rest.When suddenly, a middle-aged lady arrived, with a worried and overly distressed expression."Where's my niece? Is she okay?" The well-dressed lady asked in exclamation.This should be Esther's aunt.Anika stood up and stuttered to answer."She's, she's ins

"What are you doing to my niece!!"Amanda screeched emotionally as she hurriedly supported her niece with a bloody arm.The people with her also saw the scene and were stupefied."Are you crazy?!" She turned accusingly at Anika.Anika only stood there dumbfounded, staring at the bloody knife in her hand. She was still processing Esther's words, and now this.Her face paled as she looked at the people in the room, her lips trembling. It was Leon, Nanny Rose, Steward Ben, the assistants, all of them watched her holding a knife.A dark shadow shrouded her, as if she felt like the witch in the picture book, being ostracized for being evil."It's not Anika's fault, she doesn't know what she's doing.." Esther said weakly, still pleading for Anika. She held her bloody arm looking at the people in the room as if to ask justice for Anika.Like a reasonable person asking lenience for a mentally handicapped woman.Anika looked at Esther in askance. She could only stare at the girl as she lied in

"Take that woman away,"Leon's men immediately grabbed Esther and Amanda, and they could only struggle in the middle of their shock."Mr. Albrecht, what's the meaning of this?" Esther asked incredulously. She hissed when the men grabbing her did not bother to consider her wounded arm."What is this?! Hey, help us! Can't you see they're attacking us?!" Amanda asked for help from the security guards in panic.The securities were also dumbfounded and could only look at each other. They knew these people could not be messed with, and their small jobs couldn't afford to offend whoever important person this man was.Leon turned to the securities and said coldly."They are defaming my wife. I'll give them into the custody of the police, and my lawyer will follow,"Esther's heart sank when she heard this."What?! You can't do this! It's the woman you should catch! No!" She continued to struggle.Amanda also clamored while panicking, but they were subdued by Leon's men.They were then taken aw

“Mr. Albrecht, please have mercy on our daughter,” An honest-looking but haggard couple stood outside the gate, with their backs hunched, humbly begging for Leon’s lenience.It was Esther’s parents. They had hurriedly come after hearing what had happened. They traveled overnight, therefore appearing disheveled in front of Leon. But their perseverance was not weak. Although their backs were hunched, they were tenacious, as if they wouldn’t leave until they could save their daughter.Leon’s brows furrowed as he stared at the humble parents.The couple thought Leon thought of them as a nuisance, and they immediately became flustered. Although they were ignorant townsfolks, they knew that powerful people like this man could hold the laws in their hands. No matter how much they would try to defend their daughter, this man could turn the tables to his advantage. So, they could only come and beg for mercy.“Mister, it is this old couple’s fault. We didn’t educate our daughter properly. Plea

“I’m going on a business trip. Do you want to come with me?” It was days later, and Leon offered this trip. He knew everything left a shadow for Anika, and he wanted to cheer her up.It was just right timing that he had a business trip abroad, and this would be a great opportunity to take Anika and their daughter for their first overseas trip aside from the honeymoon trip.Anika’s low mood brightened a bit when she heard they were going to other countries, and they would be riding a plane. She hadn’t experienced this before, so she looked forward in her heart.So, everything was settled. They packed up and once again took Nanny Rose with them and left the mansion in Steward Ben’s care.Anika and Adelaide boarded their first plane in their life. The family rode their family’s privately owned jet.“We’re in the sky..” Anika whispered mesmerizingly as she looked out of the window and saw the clouds and the land becoming small.“Sky!” Little Adie also cheered happily.

Leon immediately took action. He made sure no soul would tell what happened that day at the abandoned building. With power and money, he can easily do this. He also had connections with the authorities, and it was not hard to suppress this matter from spreading out.He then cleaned up the parasites in his company and kicked them out without second thoughts.They were not only one of them, and he knew it. So, this time, he didn’t take risks and immediately tore down their faces.Then, he also used underhanded means to buy and spill the dirty waters of those who dared to prey on his family.Do they think only they could use underhanded means? He was also willing to dirty his hands just to protect his beloveds.Coercion, blackmail, and soiling their reputation, Leon did all that just to make them pay.And seeing this, anyone in the business circle feared and wouldn’t dare to plot against the Albrecht family.…………………………………………………………………………….After all that happened, it left a shadow on Anik

In the following days, Anika stayed in the mansion. And these days, she noticed that Leon had become busier. He had also restricted where they would go at the moment. He said that it was best for them to stay home, aside from Adelaide’s school.Anika felt it was unnatural, but when she saw Leon’s tension, no matter how much he hid it, she chose to follow him obediently.Until her foreboding feeling actually happened.“Anika! Something happened in Adelaide’s school!”……………………………………………………………………..“Don’t you dare hurt my daughter,” Leon said in a dangerous voice. his eyes were vicious right now and if this man was in front of him, he would tear him to pieces.“Too bad you offended someone vicious. But maybe you’ll meet one day. Only, as someone who is against you,” The voice from the other side of the phone said cruelly and let off an evil laugh.With a beep, the phone was hung up.“Damn!” Leon furiously slammed the phone in the car hood.In the current days, Leon couldn’t deny that the

The time of their departure arrived, but before that, the old Madame, who was Madame Lestrange, went to Anika to apologize.“That time from the banquet. I apologize. I hope you spare my old face,” The old woman said with a stiff face.She held a lukewarm expression, but deep inside, she was greatly indignant.She had reached such an age, when did she ever apologize?! But now, she could only grit her teeth and endure.Anika looked at Leon in hesitation, and seeing him nod, she turned back to the old lady.“It’s fine, Madame,” She responded softly.Leon didn’t let Anika be awkward for long and took her away.And Madame Lestrange only watched the leaving car with cold eyes. Just wait.……………………………………………………………………..Arriving home, Anika spent her days in the mansion while Leon was busy with the project. And Sera felt distressed for her.“Let’s go shopping!” Sera invited, coming to their home early in the morning.“Shopping?” Anika asked, tilting her head.“What, don’t you shop?” Sera asked

After Leon settled and calmed Anika down, he and Alexander went out again to handle the matter quickly.In his mind, he was not desperate for the bidding project. And he wouldn’t sacrifice his family just for this.Even though that old woman had high status, he would make her apologize to his family.Leon thought coldly as he made some phone calls.While Anika continued to spend time with Sera. As of now, the ladies were avoiding them like a plague, as if afraid that they would be implicated.But Sera didn’t mind. She was also not interested in hanging out with those fake and plastic, rich ladies.She preferred to be with Anika. Although she was still whispering how stupid she was but in her mind, she thought,She’s so stupid, who will defend her if she gets bullied?Sera sighed like an old mother. Therefore, she decided to take it to herself to watch over this stupid lady.She would reluctantly accept her as a friend like the big girl that she is. Sera thought with a pointed nose.Wi

“Whose child is this?!’” A sharp voice sounded.Anika immediately turned to the voice and saw someone pointing to Adelaide.She hurriedly stood up and ran to her daughter.Yes, today’s event was less formal. It was a casual banquet, so they took Adelaide with them.Currently, the ladies are having tea in the outdoor garden.Who knew they would immediately encounter a problem?“Is this your daughter? How do you teach her? She hurt my granddaughter!” The elder woman with a luxurious fur coat said in a strict voice.She had an undeniable majesty around her. It could be seen that her identity is not trivial.Anika hurriedly kneeled to level with Adelaide and asked her.“Sweetheart, what happened?” Adelaide pouted and hugged her doll.“She wanted to take my doll,” The child answered softly.Anika rubbed her back and turned to the elderly lady.“It’s, it’s not my daughter's fault,” She tried to reason out.“What do you mean? Your child pushed my granddaughter!” The elderly angrily pointed.

Leon arrived at their table and saw that Alexander was already there, beside his cousin.He went to the seat next to Anika.“Were you fine while I was gone?” Leon asked as he caressed Anika’s hair.Anika nodded.“The dessert is delicious,” She answered softly.Leon smiled and gave her some fruit juice to rinse her throat.Shortly, the banquet started. The main course meals were served.At their table, the businessmen were talking about the project. Some talked about the market and investments.“Just bare it for a moment..” They heard Alexander whisper beside them.Anika turned and saw Alexander whispering to Seraphina.“But I’m bored,” Sera complained while playing with her food.Alexander could sigh helplessly.Then Sera dropped her cutleries and wiped her lips with a napkin.“I’ll find Andrei, he’s more fun than you. Hmp,” She said and stood from her seat. She fixed her skirt and happily left to find her other cousin.Leon looked gloatingly at Alexander.“Don’t look at me like that

“Who are you?” A young but haughty voice asked.Anika turned in that direction and saw a girl wearing a pink ruffled cocktail dress. She had milky skin, jet-black hair, and her cute face was a contrast to her snobbish expression.“I know everyone assigned to this table. This is my first time seeing you,” She squinted his eyes as she studied Anika.Anika blinked and answered hurriedly.“I’m Anika,”The girl tilted her head and raised a brow. Anika? She thought for a while and remembered something. Anika seemed to be the name of the newlywed wife of the Albrecht family.“You’re Mrs. Albrecht?” She asked again.Anika nodded, looking vigilantly at the other.The girl hummed and sat in her seat, two seats away from Anika. At the moment, only the two of them were at the table.She turned to Anika, still a bit haughty.“I’m Seraphina. My cousin is friends with your husband. I didn’t go to your wedding because-“ Seraphina was stumped for a while.Why didn’t she go again? Oh, right, it seems..
