Fortunately, she wasn't impulsive.

Though sympathetic to Lydia's situation, Thera understood that emotions were personal matters, not to be meddled with by others.

"Mr. Halsey, you should know that we're not very familiar with each other. If it weren't for Lydia, we might never have crossed paths. I don't care about the Halsey family’s issues, but I do care about Lydia. So, if this is for you or your family, I'm sorry, but I won't help."

"What if it's for Lydia? You should know how much trouble the online rumors are causing her…” Lambert's worry was palpable.

“Do you mean you have a solution?” Thera's interest was piqued.

“As long as the real culprit is found, the rumors will naturally collapse.”

“The real culprit?” Thera's interest deepened. She knew the online photos were doctored, but she wasn't aware of the details of the incident.

Lydia had remained tight-lipped, and Ogden had firmly accused her.

If Lambert, who was directly involved, could provide the truth, she could redirect p

    “We were wrong, Newman!” Yves said, his voice hoarse. “We made a mistake before. We want to return to the gang. From now on, if you say east, we won’t go west.”Newman hadn’t expected this. He exchanged a glance with Odelia, a question in his eyes.Odelia thought for a moment. “Someone, untie them! And bring some medicine for their wounds!”Yves immediately showed his gratitude. “Thank you, Odelia!”Miles looked equally grateful but also a bit guilty.Once his wrists were freed, he slapped himself hard and fell to his knees in front of Newman and Odelia. “Newman, big sister, punish me. I was petty and misjudged people.”“Alright, alright. We’re all brothers here. Herman, we’ve known each other for ten years, right? I know your character. You’re straightforward and easily influenced. Most of what happened before was probably instigated by others.”Newman quickly helped Herman up, while Yves stood gratefully beside them.Odelia observed them. Their gratitude seemed genuine, and their wo

    Herman raised his glass and downed the drink in one gulp. "Refreshing!"Not to be outdone, Newman also tilted his head back and drank his wine.Odelia followed suit.Herman and Yves exchanged a glance and said in unison, "Great drinking!"The four of them ate and drank, conversing happily. Soon, Odelia and Newman started to feel the effects of the alcohol.At that moment, everything changed. Herman, who had been acting friendly, suddenly pulled out a small dagger and lunged at Odelia.Odelia screamed instinctively. Her scream snapped Newman out of his drunken haze. Instantly sober, he moved to shield Odelia without thinking.Yves didn't let up either; he smashed a bottle on the table and aimed the jagged glass at Odelia's face.The dagger plunged into Newman's chest, piercing deeply. Odelia's scream turned into a cry of agony.Outside, the commotion had been heard, and people were rushing toward the room.Newman f

    Odelia was completely unprepared for what happened next.She thought she had the Dragon Gang firmly in her grasp, but overnight, it disintegrated.After some investigation, she discovered that the Tiger Gang had made a move.Newman's death had already reached Solomon's ears. Seizing the opportunity, he quickly absorbed the remaining members of the Dragon Gang.Those who joined the Tiger Gang were secretly thrilled; following the Tiger Gang seemed far better than staying with a woman, even if she was formidable and ruthless.They saw no future with her.Especially now, with many of the Dragon Gang's leaders either dead or on the run!People are inherently practical and selfish. So when Odelia saw her former subordinates pointing guns at her, ordering her to leave the Dragon Gang, she wasn't surprised. Deep down, she had anticipated this day.After leaving the Dragon Gang, Odelia instinctively headed back to the Zigler household.

    "Two thousand? Twenty thousand? Or two hundred thousand?" Flora's face grew uglier with each word!Odelia glanced coldly at her, "It's two million! And I want it in cash! Otherwise, do you expect me to go abroad and enjoy the northwest wind? Of course, you can refuse my demands. In that case, I don't mind sending certain materials to certain departments. Trust me, it won't be something you'll enjoy!""What... what do you have in your hands?" Flora asked anxiously.Odelia chuckled, "Auntie, do you think I'm foolish enough to show it to you? Don't worry, as long as I'm safe, you and uncle will be safe too. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless. After all, I have a life to live!"At this point, Flora had no choice left. But regarding what Odelia mentioned, she also needed to retrieve it.

    Without hesitation, she sat down right beside Flora.After a satisfying meal, Odelia finally spoke, "The money?""Don't worry, it's all ready for you. The clothes are packed in the suitcase," Flora replied, dragging out a pre-prepared box.She opened it for Odelia to inspect, who was pleased to find everything meticulously arranged inside.As she glanced at her passport, her once vibrant face in the photo contrasted starkly with the scars now marking her features, fueling her simmering resentment.Thinking Odelia was concerned about her altered appearance, Flora reassured her, "It's alright, Odelia. I've already made arrangements with the airport authorities. They won't give you any trouble."Odelia glanced at Flora in surprise, "Auntie, thank you nonetheless. Goodbye!"Flora waved her off, "We're family, no need for formalities. Let me have the driver take you to the airport."Raising an eyebrow, Odelia remarked, "Auntie, seem

    "Odelia, if you wish to die, I have a thousand ways. You can continue resisting, but I have all the time in the world. Let's see who has more patience. But don't blame me for not warning you, sometimes living is scarier than dying!"For the first time, Odelia felt genuine fear from the depths of her heart. In that moment, she had thought her neck would almost be snapped!Her heart trembled, completely panicked!Odelia looked up at Lambert. The aura of hostility around him hadn't dissipated.His eyes were as cold as dead water, and his expression was so indifferent that if not for that moment of anger just now, the man standing before her might have been mistaken for a statue carved from ice!Taking a deep breath, Odelia didn't want to die just yet. Even if she did, she wanted to drag someone down with her.Her gaze lingered on Lambert's face, captivated despite his seeming gauntness, which emphasized his sharp features, making him unusually handsome."Lambert, why did you bring me her

    Seeing the gleam in Lydia's eyes, Andrew felt increasingly bitter.He wasn't sure if Lydia was happy because she had heard that the real culprit had been caught, or because Lambert had promised to clear her name.One thing was certain, though—it was a good thing. The rumors circulating recently had made Lydia almost afraid to leave her house, fearing that someone emotionally charged might do something drastic.If they could clarify the truth, such incidents would hopefully cease."Lydia, I want to congratulate you in advance!"Lydia nodded, then furrowed her brow. "Andrew, why is the press conference scheduled to take place at the cliff? It doesn't seem like Lambert's style.""That is indeed peculiar."Andrew and Lambert had known each other for quite some time and didn't think Lambert was the type to do something so unconventional.Moreover, the cliff was a famous scenic spot in Nova City, renowned not only for its beauty but also for its danger—there were many accidents reported the

    As Horace changed Lambert's IV drip with practiced efficiency, he spoke, "I already knew without you saying. Heard you caught Odelia and are planning a press conference. Your dad found out, right? Honestly, Lambert, even if this is what you intend, you shouldn't handle it so recklessly.""No time," Lambert replied curtly."Come on, Lydia's been misunderstood for days. What harm could another day or two do? Besides, talk to your uncle first; once he's on board, the rest will be easier."Lambert closed his eyes slightly. Horace had a point; he could afford to proceed cautiously.But he knew his father well.Since his mother's death, all warmth within him seemed buried.He resented Odelia, blamed Lydia, perhaps even blamed himself.If his father knew Odelia was in his hands, he might not agree to reveal the truth, perpetuating the rumors forever.Wasn't he gambling now, hoping his father still had a trace of compassion left? It seemed he was losing that bet."Lambert, are you listening t

    "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
