Hiram, after a brief contemplation, decided that despite the pretense of reluctance, they had to help. After all, they had been friends for many years.

He coughed slightly and gave Thera and Ronald a warning look before addressing Ogden, “Since your uncle has come all this way, we should help him.”

With Hiram’s words, Thera and Ronald had no choice but to sit back and listen to the rest of the story.

After learning the details, Solomon agreed to help and talk to Knife.

Although Knife was a notable figure in the underworld, he was no match for the Arliss family.

Ogden left in high spirits, confident that Solomon’s intervention would resolve the issue.

Once Ogden left, Hiram turned to his grandchildren, “What’s going on, Thera? Why were you so antagonistic towards the Halsey family? And Ronald, why were you getting involved?”

Ronald stuck out his tongue playfully, “Grandpa, I wasn’t just meddling. I was standing up for my god-sister!”

“When did you get a god-sister that I don’t know abo

    Lambert rarely heard Lydia praise others, so he couldn't help but feel a bit jealous and tightened his grip around her waist. Lydia chuckled, "What, are you jealous of Thera too?"Lambert gazed deeply into her eyes, "Yes! I want your eyes, your heart, to be filled only with me!"Lydia blushed and quickly changed the subject, "So, now that the Halsey family is in trouble, when do you plan to go back?""No rush. With my father there, the Halsey family won’t collapse. Besides, this time it’s just some small-time troublemakers causing issues. Nothing to worry about."Lydia furrowed her brows, "I have a bad feeling about this. It doesn’t seem like it will end so simply.""Don’t overthink it. We came out to have fun. Besides, with me around, you don’t need to worry."Hearing Lambert’s reassurance, Lydia nodded slowly. The Halsey family had weathered many storms before; this shouldn’t be any different.At Knife's bar, a distinguished guest had arrived. As soon as this guest entered, Knife im

    "It seems I've been neglecting you lot. You've all forgotten your place!" Knife's rebuke made the group of subordinates tremble with fear."Bring me everyone who caused trouble at the hotel!" Knife commanded. His men quickly obeyed, and within moments, Odelia and the others involved were brought in.Knife scanned the group with a stern gaze. At the forefront was Newman, who, clueless about what had transpired, grinned at Knife. "Boss, what's this about? Did you need us for something?"Odelia stood there with disheveled clothes and visible kiss marks on her neck, indicating she had been involved in some intense activity.Knife's initial attraction to Odelia, who was both coquettish and uninhibited, had soured.Now, seeing her promiscuous behavior, he felt nothing but disgust. Even though she was the mayor of Zigler's niece, her actions were revolting to him.Noticing Knife's obvious disdain, Odelia nervously adjusted her clothes."Boss, what’s happened that has you so serious? We're al

    Knife's face darkened. "Newman, what do you mean by this?"Newman grinned broadly, a mischievous glint in his eyes. "Boss, I’m really sorry, but I'm more interested in beauty than in power. I don’t want to follow you anymore. Today, I'm leaving the gang."Knife sprang up from the sofa, his face contorted with rage. "You’ve got the guts to say that again!"Newman stood firm, undeterred. "I’ll say it as many times as you want. I'm leaving the gang! I won’t stay any longer.""For a woman?" Knife looked at Newman in disbelief, his eyes filled with a mixture of regret and sorrow. This was his brother in life and death, now ready to walk away for a woman."So what? Boss, we’re just thugs. It’s not easy to find a woman I like. Besides, I’m willing to take care of her. I don’t mind her past. That’s it."As Newman turned to leave, Knife shouted, "Stop right there!"Newman paused. "What? You won’t let me go today?"Knife was furious. "You want to leave for a woman, fine! If you really like her

    “It means everything that happened with the gang recently was orchestrated by Newman and me. How’s that? Perfectly executed, wasn’t it? You didn’t see through it at all, did you?” Odelia interjected, her words leaving Knife dumbfounded.“What are you saying? Explain yourself clearly!”Odelia sneered, “What’s wrong? You’re here now, do you still look down on me? You’re just a simple-minded thug with brute strength. Look at you. If we hadn’t told you, you might never have known how you lost your gang.”Knife's eyes widened, bloodshot. “Newman, Newman! I don’t believe her. Tell me, what’s going on?”Newman chuckled coldly. “Boss, even now you’re trying to act superior. Didn’t Odelia already tell you? Everything that happened to the gang was our plan. Don’t ask me why. If you can’t figure that out, you’re better off dead than wasting space in prison.”Knife collapsed into his chair, unable to comprehend, tears streaming down his face. He had invited a wolf into the fold! Everything was de

    Solomon paused, looking sympathetically at the couple. “But she didn’t stop there. She then collaborated with another gang leader she had seduced, forming a new gang called the Dragon Gang.”After his introduction, Solomon added, “By the way, the five key leaders of the Dragon Gang are all Odelia’s lovers, and she has become the gang’s big sister and strategist.”Even the well-informed Old Mr. Hiram was left speechless.Such a woman was indeed formidable, and to make her an enemy would be a significant problem!Odgen and Nydia were stunned. The daughter-in-law they had thought to be gentle and graceful was actually so cunning, and her current actions were deeply unsettling.The couple exchanged a grave look, realizing the severity of the situation. Solomon continued, “Uncle, Auntie, I don’t know the specifics of your grudge with Odelia, but one thing is certain: she’s not someone to be trifled with. Be very careful!”Odgen nodded solemnly, while Nydia grew increasingly anxious.They r

    Nydia felt like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, overwhelmed by a sense of helplessness."Is anyone there?" she hesitated, calling out, but there was no response.Time crawled by, each minute feeling like an eternity. Nydia wanted to scream, but she could only swallow her fear, unable to give it voice.Nydia was being held in an abandoned warehouse, where cameras captured her helplessness and fear, transmitting it to a nearby room. In that room, Odelia sat in front of a screen, casually watching Nydia’s torment.Several of Odelia’s henchmen stood behind her, puzzled. “Big sister, what’s so interesting about this old woman? We’ve already kidnapped her. Why not just call for ransom?”Odelia sneered. “This woman has always acted high and mighty. Now that she’s finally in my hands, how can I let her off so easily? Let her stew for a few hours. When the Halsey family starts to panic, we’ll discuss terms.”A cold, decisive light flashed in Odelia’s eyes as she smirked. After a moment, she

    "Spit! Don't talk to me about money. Do you think a few bucks can buy everything?" Odelia's eyes were filled with hatred.Nydia looked into her eyes, frightened by the coldness and hatred she saw there."What... what do you really want to do?" she asked.Odelia sneered, "A debt must be repaid, a life for a life! Nydia, you killed my child. It's only fair that you pay with your life, don't you think?"Odelia's voice dropped to a menacing whisper, sending shivers down Nydia's spine. Terrified, Nydia raised her voice, "No! You can't kill me! Besides, that was just an embryo, it wasn't even a child!"Odelia looked at Nydia with cold eyes, seemingly savoring her fear. "Don't worry, I won't kill you now, for old times' sake. But since you owe me a life, shouldn't someone else pay it?"Feigning seriousness, Odelia mused aloud, "Since your son cares so much about Lydia, why not trade her for you?"With that, Odelia picked up a knife and patted Nydia's face with it. Nydia was terrified. This w

    "Did you see the photos?""Odelia, what do you want?""Lambert, I used to have a good impression of you. You're handsome, capable, and of high status. If you had chosen me, I would have led a stable life. But you were blind, rejecting a great woman like me for that idiot Lydia. And your mother went further, not only killing my child but also making it impossible for me to become a mother again. Don't you think your family owes me?""So this is revenge?" Lambert asked calmly, his tone steady. "Odelia, I think you need to see a psychologist.""Stop the nonsense! I'm asking you a simple question. Do you want to save your mother or not?"Lambert's pupils contracted slightly, his palms sweating. Despite his outward composure, his heart was racing. Seeing his usually dignified mother being humiliated stirred an indescribable pain within him. After a long pause, Lambert adjusted his emotions and asked, "What do you want?""My demands are simple: a

    "Lambert, at this rate, you could almost switch careers to become a nanny!" Horace teased, noticing how expertly Lambert cradled the baby.Unfazed by his friend's jest, Lambert beamed with happiness. "You wouldn't understand if you don't have kids. Once you get married, you'll know. This is my legacy, and I didn't get to care for Wythe when he was a baby, so I'm determined to be hands-on with Candice."No one could truly grasp this sense of compensation!Horace rolled his eyes, clearly at a loss for words. It was pointless to engage with someone so enamored with fatherhood.While the men gathered to chat, Thera leaned closer to Lydia and whispered, "So, Lydia, are you really back together with Lambert?"Lydia nodded. "Yeah. After everything that happened, I realized I need to cherish every single day. And Lambert is sincere—I can feel it.""That's great!" Thera sighed in relief, finally putting her worries to rest."What about you, Thera? I see you and Andrew getting along quite well!

    At this moment, Lambert felt completely at ease. It seemed that Lydia's earlier words were not just talk; she was genuinely ready to give them a chance!A smile crept onto Lambert's lips, but there was no time to think of anything else; he needed to take care of their baby, Wythe. Thanks to the maternal training classes he had attended with Lydia, he had learned a lot about caring for newborns. Gently, he picked up his daughter and quickly checked her diaper, only to find that she had wet it.With nimble hands, he changed her diaper, and the little one fell back asleep. Looking at her innocent face, Lambert's heart melted. This was his child, the result of his and Lydia's love.The baby slept soundly, and Wythe had been temporarily taken away by Bob, who had come to deliver some items. Now, only Lambert and Lydia remained in the room, but Lydia, having slept quite a bit earlier, was no longer drowsy."Are you still feeling unwell?" Seeing Lydia frown slightly, Lambert asked with conce

    Lambert glanced at his son's disapproving expression and was momentarily at a loss. "Wythe, you might've looked even more wrinkled than her when you were born, yet look at you now—a handsome young man," he teased, smiling at his daughter. Though wrinkly, he found her to be the most beautiful and precious little girl.Wythe huffed proudly, his lips in a slight pout. "I wasn't this ugly! Besides, you didn't see me when I was a baby." A hint of sadness crossed his face; he hadn't been as lucky as his sister—he hadn't had his dad by his side when he was born.Hearing the touch of bitterness in his son's voice, Lambert immediately understood. Wythe was jealous, understandably so. For all his maturity, Wythe was still just a child. For his first five or six years, he had only his mother and no father. He often envied kids with both parents, and when Lydia finally returned home, her on-again, off-again relationship with Lambert had left Wythe hurt and forced him to grow up faster than other

    Lambert paced restlessly in the hallway, nearly losing his mind. Every moment was agonizing, with Lydia's screams from the delivery room piercing his heart. He prided himself on being strong, yet in that instant, he felt an overwhelming urge to flee, especially as her cries of pain echoed through. Angry at himself, he slapped his own face—Lydia was suffering because of him, and he'd never realized how terrifying childbirth could be."Calm down. This is what childbirth is like," a woman nearby said kindly. She was the mother of a little girl, and both she and her husband couldn't help but notice how visibly nervous Lambert was. "You've been through this once before, so you should be able to handle it," she added."Why isn't it over yet? Is she in danger?" Lambert's mind was in turmoil, fighting the urge to rush inside and see Lydia himself.The little girl's father stepped in, attempting to reassure him. "You and your family will be just fine," he said. The man recalled his own frantic

    At that moment, Lydia was on the verge of total collapse, as if her entire world had crumbled in an instant, and sorrow overwhelmed her.What had she done? What had she been doing these past days?She had been recklessly indulging in Lambert's affection, without any sense of gratitude or restraint. Now, she regretted her actions deeply. If only she had known this day would come, she would never have argued with Lambert or dismissed his love and efforts out of a misguided sense of pride.All she wanted was for him to be safe, to live happily with her and their children, never to be apart.Lydia's vision blurred as she stood in shock, unable to step closer to the crowd to confirm what had happened. But through a gap, she caught sight of a blood-red stain spreading across the ground. The sight was so jarring that it felt as though her heart had been ripped out of her chest."Mom, are you okay?"Wythe ran over, panting, to see Lydia sitting dazed on the ground, staring at the red stain in

    Lambert's words made Wythe roll his eyes, secretly exasperated. What was going on with his dad? Wasn't everything decided? Why was he suddenly backing out at the last moment?Men! Their thoughts are just impossible to figure out!Lambert had indeed changed his mind unexpectedly. He didn't want to deceive Lydia, even if it was just a harmless joke. Something about it felt wrong. Even if it was to bring them closer, lying to her didn't seem right.Wythe's plan had been simple he wanted Lambert to stage an accident, making it seem like he'd been hit by a car. He was certain his mom would show her true feelings; if she still cared for him, there was no way she'd just stand by. It was a good plan, but now that the moment had come, Lambert didn't want to test Lydia this way.People's feelings shouldn't be tested.Wythe grew increasingly anxious. They'd prepared everything, but now his dad was retreating? That wasn't like him at all! Taking advantage of n

    Half a month had passed since Lydia's last check-up. Lambert continued caring for Lydia with the same attentiveness, unbothered by her cold attitude towards him. Although her indifference saddened him, he was undeterred; his determination grew in the face of difficulty, a testament to his personality.But little Wythe had had enough. He felt it was time to give his parents a nudge towards reconciliation. Yes, it was his turn to step up!So, one morning, when Lambert went out early to buy groceries as usual, Wythe found an excuse to tag along. Lydia didn't think much of it; over time, she had noticed Lambert's earnest efforts and couldn't deny feeling somewhat touched, even if her heart remained conflicted. Deep down, she feared reopening herself to love, only to be hurt again.After all, "Once bitten, twice shy," as they say. Lydia never saw herself as particularly brave—in fact, in love, she was timid and afraid. She longed for a peaceful, uncomplicated l

    Once, Lydia believed she and Lambert would grow old together, inseparable and loyal. But her genuine love had only brought repeated hurt and disappointment. That's why she had fled Nova City, leaving behind everyone she knew, so this time, she refused to open her heart again.Lambert sighed, his tone gentle. He knew Lydia wouldn't easily open up to him again, but he didn't mind; he was willing to wait. Determined, he led her to the prenatal clinic, aware of the many tests ahead—ultrasounds, blood tests, monitoring the baby's heartbeat—a series of over ten examinations. Each department was exceptionally busy, requiring an immense amount of patience.Throughout, Lambert remained unwaveringly attentive, showing no sign of impatience. He stayed by Lydia's side with the eager anticipation of any expectant father, his heart fully in it.Before the ultrasound, Lydia needed to drink water, but Lambert, inexperienced in these matters, hadn't prepared any. She didn't feel inclined to remind him

    Happiness, it seems, makes people wish the same for those around them. Like the husband in the next hospital bed—he had the sense to keep quiet the moment he sensed the tension between Lydia and Lambert.Lambert didn't seem to mind Lydia's sudden outburst. He simply took off his suit jacket, now stained with soup, and said regretfully, "The soup spilled, Lydia. I'm afraid you'll have to wait a little longer. I'll have someone bring a new one right away! Why not have a piece of cake to tide you over?"Lambert's calm demeanor only made Lydia feel as if her anger was landing on nothing but soft cotton, frustrating her even more. What was Lambert up to? Was he mocking her on purpose?It was infuriating!Lydia knew her emotions were out of sorts lately. Ever since Lambert left, she hadn't had much of an appetite. When she found out his trip was delayed, everything around her began to irritate her. It was as though a cloud of anger clogged her heart, but she couldn't find a way to let it ou
