"I’m not that stupid!" Lambert hung up the phone decisively. Westside warehouse, huh?

Lambert indeed wasn't going to call the police, but that didn't mean he couldn't seek help. He made several calls to his friends.

Families like theirs typically employed bodyguards, and he intended to use them.

Not knowing the exact situation, these bodyguards needed to be prepared and discreet to avoid alerting the enemy.

After making the necessary arrangements, Lambert drove towards the Westside warehouse.

The Westside warehouse was a cluster of abandoned warehouses on the outskirts of the city, an area notorious for its poor security and a haven for delinquents, even beyond the reach of the police.

Odelia’s choice of this location was strategic; unless she exposed herself, it would be hard for anyone to find her.

By the time Lambert arrived, it was completely dark.

The area was teeming with idlers dressed in bizarre outfits, som

    "What will it take for you to release my mother?" Lambert’s tone was somewhat harsh, which made Odelia laugh. He was anxious, which was good for her."Why don’t you beg me? Maybe if you beg, it will work." Odelia suggested, her eyes twinkling mischievously.Lambert remained silent, prompting Odelia to continue, "But begging alone isn’t enough to show your sincerity. How about you kneel and beg? Maybe if I’m in a good mood, I’ll let Nydia go."Nydia's eyes widened with hatred as she glared at Odelia. How dare this woman...Odelia noticed Nydia’s gaze and her expression turned cold. "What are you looking at? Look again and I’ll gouge your eyes out!" She quickly corrected herself, "No, I can’t do that yet. You need to see your son willingly kneel before me."Odelia’s eyes then settled on Lambert. Would this god-like man kneel for his mother? She was oddly excited to find out.With a loud thu

    It was late at night, and the neighborhood where Lydia lived was quiet. Wythe’s shouting was particularly conspicuous. Afraid of attracting unnecessary trouble and delaying the plan to rescue Nydia, Odgen ordered the bodyguards to knock Wythe out.Seeing this, Lydia struggled desperately, but it was futile.Frustrated, Odgen knocked her out too. He left a bodyguard to look after Wythe and then took Lydia out of the house.After leaving the neighborhood, Odgen dialed Odelia’s number. Odelia, seeing the call, smiled playfully. The show was finally about to begin, and she was excited."Odelia, I have Lydia. Where do we exchange the hostages?" Odgen’s voice was urgent; he didn’t want to waste a second. His long-time wife was being held, and he couldn’t let her suffer.To Odgen, Lydia was the cause of all the problems.If not for her, none of this would have happened, and Odelia wouldn’t be so crazy. It was onl

    Upon hearing that Odgen had arrived, Nydia's eyes lit up with hope. Surely he had come to rescue her!Meanwhile, Lambert was deeply suspicious of Odelia and her associates' demeanor towards Odgen's arrival. Why were they so pleased? Had Odelia struck some other deal with his father behind the scenes?Lambert's unease grew, realizing he had underestimated Odelia. Her cunning was truly surprising.Soon enough, Odgen was brought in, accompanied shockingly by the unconscious Lydia. In an instant, rage surged within Lambert as he rushed forward, attempting to seize Lydia."Stop him!" Odelia quickly ordered her henchmen. Lambert found himself outnumbered and blocked, forced to watch helplessly as his father and Odelia continued their "exchange".Odgen's gaze fell upon the bound Nydia, eyes reddened with fury. He demanded of Odelia, "I've brought the person, now release Nydia!""Dad!" Lambert interjected angrily, "You can't do this!""Why ca

    "Lambert, what should we do now? You have to save your mom. She's been through hours of this torment, and I'm worried her health won't hold up much longer," Odelia said urgently.Lambert clenched his lips tightly, feeling helpless for the first time. If it had only been his mother, he might have found a way, but now he had to comply with Odelia's demands.Odelia was exhilarated; she had never imagined that controlling others' fates could be so thrilling and empowering. Her eyes were bloodshot, her face contorted with a terrifying expression."Lambert, how about I give you a chance?" Odelia said, her voice tinged with a sinister edge.Lambert's gaze turned cold as he awaited Odelia's next words, knowing they wouldn't be good.Odelia walked over to where Nydia and Lydia were bound. "You can only take one of these women with you. The other one will pay with her life for my child. How does that sound for a deal?"Lambert bit his lip, a hint of b

    Only Lydia understood how terrible this feeling was.Fear inexplicably filled her body, and her limbs, stiff from being bound for so long, could only obey Odelia's commands.Lydia shook her head desperately. "No! I don't hate her!""Really? You must hate her. Let me help you. Just kill her, and it will all be over! No one will force you to leave Lambert. Isn't that good?" Odelia's voice was loud and mocking.Lydia trembled all over. Her hands and feet refused to obey her, but to Odgen and Nydia, Lydia clearly seemed under Odelia's spell."Lydia, what are you doing? Lower your gun! Do you even know who you're aiming at?""I'm sorry, I don't want to, but I can't control my body..."Odelia laughed triumphantly. "Yes, that's right! Just like I said. Pull the trigger, and you won't have to endure the Halsey family's scorn anymore. You won't have to separate from Lambert because of their objections. Isn't that great?"Nydia looked at

    Odgen's heart-wrenching cry echoed through the air, causing Lambert to shut his eyes in agony. He embraced his father tightly, pleading, "Dad, please don't do this... Mom is still waiting for us..."As Odgen's emotions began to subside, tears blurred his vision. He looked suddenly aged, stumbling into the emergency room.Lambert, equally distraught, didn't even glance at Lydia standing nearby. He followed his father inside, his heart heavy.Tears streamed down his face; this was his mother, who despite opposing his marriage and orchestrating his future, had always loved him.Nydia, pallid and weak, her gaze unfocused, lips drained of color, knew her time was near. She summoned all her strength to catch Lambert's eye.Lambert dropped to his knees beside her bed, bowing his head deeply. "Mom, I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry!"Regret consumed Lambert. If only he hadn't been so headstrong, or if he had temporarily accepted Odelia's conditions, perhap

    Frustrated, Wythe had no choice but to turn to Thera for help. Perhaps as an adult herself, she could comfort his mom properly.Thera arrived shortly after receiving the call. Just minutes ago, Lambert had called her asking to take good care of Lydia.As she pondered over what was going on with this family, Wythe called again, making Thera realize something serious had happened.Arriving at the villa past nine in the morning, Thera brought breakfast, knocking on the door.Wythe answered; the mature child's eyes welled up as he choked out, "Godmother, Mom came back and went straight into her room. She looks like she's been hurt..."Thera hugged Wythe and ruffled his hair. "I understand, Wythe. Go have your breakfast. I'll take care of your mom."Wythe nodded obediently, while Thera knocked on Lydia's bedroom door.Inside, Lydia sat motionless by the door, eyes vacant, tear streaks dried on her face. She curled up, consumed by profound

    "Alright, silly girl, you need to understand. His mother just passed away, and everyone's emotions are raw. I heard his father still hasn't woken up! Lambert might have been acting impulsively. You can't let that define you, okay?" Thera said, trying to console Lydia.Lydia nodded, clutching Thera's sleeve like a lost child. "Thera, tell me what to do. I'll do whatever you say."Sighing softly, Thera replied, "Okay, first, let's get you something to eat. Then you can rest a bit. In the afternoon, we'll go to the hospital together to see Lambert, alright?"Lydia eagerly agreed, "Okay! I'll go eat right now."Relieved that Lydia was cooperative, Thera thought to herself.It's good she's still willing to listen. If she retreats into herself completely, I won't know what to do.After lunch, Thera accompanied Lydia to the hospital where Ogden was in a VIP room.Lambert was just returning with lunch for his father when they arrived.

    Since the disastrous end to the previous banquet, Lambert had resigned from his role as the head of Universal Conglomerate. Left with no other choice, Odgen had to step in personally to manage the company. But after so many years away, he found it difficult to command respect from the senior executives, most of whom Lambert had appointed. They weren't openly against Odgen, but their support was lukewarm, lacking the dedication they had shown Lambert.Moreover, Odgen's business acumen and skill in handling people didn't come close to Lambert's, causing a slow drift among the staff. Coupled with the recent financial turbulence affecting a significant portion of the company's assets, Universal Conglomerate was suddenly facing a serious liquidity crisis.Odgen had initially sought Lambert out for help, but he was informed that his son had been absent for over six months, reportedly off chasing his ex-wife. The news only deepened Odgen's frustration. Lambert's ex-wife was Lydia, and despit

    Lydia couldn't shake a vague sense of melancholy, especially whenever she saw families of three dining together, strolling hand-in-hand, or playing in the park. Lambert's presence lingered in her mind; his every smile, every expression was etched clearly in her heart.It was only now that Lydia realized just how irreplaceable he had become. Lambert had cared for her meticulously, ensuring she always had a glass of water at just the right temperature or a delicious meal whenever she felt hungry. Whenever she felt tired or sleepy, he was there with his warm, gentle hands, ready to take care of everything.Unknowingly, he had become an inseparable part of her life, like air or clear water—unremarkable but indispensable.Lydia bit her lip, suddenly overcome with a longing to hear Lambert's voice. Almost instinctively, she took out her phone and dialed his number.At that moment, Lambert was in the middle of a meeting with the SA branch team. He had rushed to Nova City and gathered the com

    Lydia, half-asleep, leaned into Lambert's embrace, finding a comfortable spot before drifting off completely. All her guardedness and sharpness faded away, leaving her looking as peaceful and innocent as a child. Lambert's gaze softened as he carefully carried her to the bedroom, gently lying down with her still in his arms.Lambert watched Lydia with fascination, his fingers tenderly brushing stray hairs from her forehead. He placed a gentle kiss on her brow, his eyes filled with warmth. The atmosphere in the room was peaceful, and Lambert continued to gaze at her, content just to be by her side, even if she hadn't forgiven him yet.As Lydia was in the late stages of her pregnancy, the baby inside her had become more active, often disturbing her sleep. Yet, lying in Lambert's arms, she felt an inexplicable sense of security. When she stirred uncomfortably in her sleep, Lambert immediately reached over to rub her lower back. Noticing their baby's restlessness, he softly placed his han

    Lydia looked at the foot basin, her cheeks reddening slightly. This had become a routine for Lambert, who had read somewhere that foot soaks and massages could ease swelling for pregnant women. So, he made it his mission to prepare a foot bath for her every day at the same time.At first, Lydia was quite resistant, but with Lambert's persistence and Wythe's innocent pleas, she eventually gave in.Now, Lambert was crouched down, without concern for his appearance, gently removing her shoes. Seeing Lydia's noticeably swollen feet filled him with worry. Was this foot bath helping at all? Why was her swelling still so bad?It was Lambert's first time caring for a pregnant woman. He had heard of all the challenges women face during pregnancy, but witnessing it firsthand, especially with someone he loved deeply, stirred a strong, indescribable tenderness within him. He felt an overwhelming desire to protect Lydia from any pain, to the point of wishing he could bear it all himself.Lambert c

    The next morning, when Wythe woke up, he found his mother looking at him with gentle eyes. Unable to resist, he leaned in and kissed Lydia, then nuzzled against her shoulder, seeking comfort.Lydia felt a warm flutter in her heart; her child had missed her. A wave of guilt washed over her as she stroked Wythe's little head. "Wythe, I'm sorry for not saying anything before and leaving you behind."Wythe, despite his previous frustration, had come to understand that his mother had no choice. "It's okay, Mom. I've grown up and can understand your decisions. Just promise that wherever you go, you'll take me with you.""Of course!"As they chatted warmly in the living room, Lambert stood in the kitchen, facing a daunting array of ingredients. He had done some research beforehand and learned that pregnant women needed balanced nutrition, preferably from home-cooked meals, since who knew about the hygiene of outside food?Determined to prepare a meal for Lydia, Lambert decided to cook.

    Once Lydia calmed down, she realized Lambert had already come in. Given Wythe's presence, it was obviously unrealistic to ask him to leave.Seizing the moment, Wythe turned to Lydia and said, "Mom, can I stay with you tonight?"Lydia nodded without hesitation. "Of course you can! Where else would you stay?"As she spoke, she shot a glance at Lambert, her eyes clearly indicating that she wanted him to leave as soon as possible. He was just too much to deal with.Unfortunately, Lambert didn't take the hint and instead asked, "Lydia, you only have a small bed here. Wythe won't fit; I think he should stay at my place."Although it was just next door, Lambert's place was vastly different—a spacious two-hundred-square-meter apartment with three bedrooms and two living areas, while Lydia's was only about ninety. As soon as he moved in, Lambert had redecorated one of the rooms specifically for Lydia.Before Lydia could respond, Wythe looked at

    No matter how upset Lydia felt, Lambert followed her like a shadow. However, he managed to avoid any more foolish actions after their earlier confrontation, even going so far as to apologize.He was humble, hoping to cheer her up, but she remained as cold as ice, leaving him in despair."Dad, I've arrived at Y City Airport! Come pick me up!"When Lambert received Wythe's call, he felt like a savior had arrived. Ever since their argument over Lydia's job, she hadn't spoken to him at all. Initially, she wouldn't let him in, and now she didn't even open the door. If she saw it was him through the peephole, she would resolutely stay inside!With that attitude, even Lambert's best efforts were useless.Wythe's arrival was the perfect catalyst to break the deadlock. Delighted, Lambert headed straight to the airport after dropping off Lydia's meal, as usual.Meanwhile, Lydia was fuming at the sight of meals consistently hanging on her door. She cou

    Lambert presented himself as refined, but his underlying dominance was unmistakable. "That's not the case, Principal. I'm just worried about Lydia's health. She's pregnant, and she's caring for a class full of four- and five-year-olds. If something were to happen, it could be very dangerous for her."The principal furrowed her brow, eyeing him curiously. His concern seemed more like that of a family member than a parent. "While your point is valid, we've already considered this. Surely, you wouldn't expect her to be dismissed? After all, maternity leave is an option now...""Maternity leave is limited," Lambert replied firmly. "Besides, you must know that Lydia can't stay here forever."The principal felt uneasy. Lambert's demeanor and attire suggested he was no ordinary individual; why would he want his family working in such a small place? Something felt off."On what grounds are you so sure?" she asked.Lambert responded with unwavering confiden

    Meanwhile, Lydia was feeling quite emotional in her room. The impact of seeing Lambert, whom she hadn't seen in a long time, was overwhelming. He had lost quite a bit of weight, and from his words, it seemed he had been eager to find her ever since he left.It would be a lie to say she wasn't touched; he truly cared about her. She had always held onto him in her heart and never let go. However, the idea of going back because of this was unlikely; after all, she was a stubborn person, and once she made a decision, it wasn't easy to change her mind.Lydia hoped that Lambert would take the hint and leave soon so her life could return to normal. Otherwise, her heart would be in turmoil!As Lambert, whom Lydia hoped would leave, was knocking on the door next door, an elderly man in his sixties opened it, eyeing Lambert suspiciously.Lambert straightened his clothes and spoke with a gentle tone, "Hello, I'm Lambert.
