Thinking of this, Sibyl spoke decisively, "You just said that you would get me out as soon as possible. How soon can it be at the fastest?"
"In half a month?"
Before Ben finished speaking, he saw Sibyl looking at him with a fierce expression and cold eyes. His heart skipped a beat and immediately changed his words. "Within a week. I will definitely get you out of here within a week."
"Okay! I'll be waiting for you. Remember, when I get out, I want to see my mom! At home, not in a sanatorium!" Sibyl was extremely arrogant as if she had the upper hand.
Since he was here to ask for help, then show some sincerity.
Ben nodded repeatedly. Even if Sibyl didn't say it, he also planned to pick Janet up from the sanatorium. After all, only when Janet was in his hands would Sibyl be obedient. Ben was very clear about this.
After leaving the prison, Ben quickly found a lawyer. They began to study Sibyl's case. Fortunately, the result was good. Since the
"Really? I think so too." The woman was rather complacent. It could be seen that she came from a privileged family and exuded an air of pride.Heloise's eyes rolled, and she took the opportunity to get closer."Are you going to buy something later? Shopping alone is quite boring for me. How about we go together?"The purple-haired woman sized her up from top to bottom as if she were judging whether Heloise was worthy of being her acquaintance."What's wrong?"Heloise was extremely nervous. This was the first time she had made a friend since becoming a wealthy lady. Moreover, the other party clearly had a certain status. Just when she was feeling numb on her scalp and stiff in her limbs, the purple-haired woman burst out laughing. "This is really interesting. What's your name? I am Sibyl!"Heloise's eyes lit up and she quickly introduced herself, "I am Heloise!"Just like that, two women who had nothing to do with each other became "go
When Lydia was lost in thought with her head down, Thera was carefully observing her expression. Seeing the gloom between her eyebrows fade away a little, she was relieved. She always remembered that Lydia was pregnant now."Lydia, are you going to keep your pregnancy a secret from Lambert all the time? Have you ever thought about what would happen if he found out?"Lydia subconsciously touched her abdomen, looking extremely hesitant and also very distressed.She didn't want to keep it a secret either, but Lambert's attitude now made it really hard for her to say it, so they could only be in this stalemate."Thera, I know this may not be right, but I really have no choice!"Tears glistened on Lydia's eyelashes, making her bright starry eyes dim a bit. Her thin figure told of her helplessness, making Thera reluctant to continue asking."Forget it. As long as you think it's good. If there's anything you can't solve, just come to me.""Y
However, it is unknown whether Lambert has time to deal with emotional matters now, because he has been extremely busy recently!The reason naturally lies with Ben. Since Ben sold the company to Odgen, this new project has fallen into Lambert's hands. As it is an emerging project, Lambert has to do everything himself in terms of technology, product prospects, and market research. For a while, he is extremely busy.But it is also because of such busyness that he has no time to miss Lydia."Boss, you are too busy recently. Since this project was taken on by the chairman, why not leave it to him to do it himself?" Bob, who was dragged over to temporarily act as a secretary, asked in confusion.Lambert looked up from the computer, rubbed his temples, picked up his coffee and took a sip. "This emerging project is indeed good. If it develops well, it might take UC to a higher level!""Even so, Boss, you are working too hard, right? Isn't it a loss if you
"It's all because of you!" Heloise gave him a coquettish glare. "I went shopping with a girlfriend today and heard a lot of rumors about you. You are so excellent that I feel inferior. To be worthy of you, I always have to do something, right? Moreover, I am still so young. Learning more things is always good. At least it also increases my temperament!""Well said! You are so good that I can't bear to be unkind to you! By the way, your outfit today is great!""Really? As long as you like it! Then tell me, is it a good idea for me to enroll in two training courses when I have free time?""As long as you like it."Now Odgen has a bit more sincerity towards Heloise. Husband and wife in youth become companions in old age. Although Heloise is young, she is extremely perceptive and knows how to behave. To be accompanied by such a woman until old age should also be a good thing.Thinking of this, Odgen's eyes softened a bit. He is originally gentle and re
Sibyl couldn't tell what it was like in her heart. It was very bitter, but more of a perverted sense of pride. "It's just that uncle's plan is good. Plus, that Heloise is really a fool. Even if I wanted to fail, it would be difficult.""Very good! Then from now on, you have to do this..." Ben's voice was very low.After Ben properly arranged the next plan, his expression finally improved a bit. Ben has struggled all his life and will never fail because of such a simple setback. He should stand at the highest place!Of course, this time he will take Janet and his daughter with him. As for his ex-wife and those two brats who have cut off relations with him, there will always be a time when they regret it.There was a glimmer of excitement in Ben's eyes, but in Sibyl's eyes, it was extremely ironic. She somewhat doubted whether Ben had planned from the very beginning to use her as his pawn. He really is very far-sighted."Sibyl, what's wrong? Is there
Wythe's eyes suddenly reddened. "It's not uncle's fault. I was too much. I clearly know that uncle likes my mom so much, yet I still secretly called dad. It's all my fault..."Andrew felt a warmth in his heart. "In fact, I am also at fault in this matter. I admit that I am too selfish. I only think about confining Lydia by my side and never think about her feelings. But Wythe, in any case, this is a matter between us adults. You shouldn't have been involved in it in the first place!""I know." Wythe lowered his head dejectedly. Thinking of Andrew's care for him during this period and his tolerance for Lydia, he didn't know why he felt extremely uncomfortable!"Okay, okay, don't be sad. It was my fault to unplug the telephone line just now. Well, if you still want to call your dad, I'll lend you my mobile phone, okay?"As Andrew said this, he took out his mobile phone and stuffed it into Wythe's hand. Wythe held the mobile phone, looked up at Andrew, and a
"If you two can really be together, I'll be more than happy. How could I regret it?"Lydia was extremely sincere. She truly hoped that Andrew would stop being so attached to her and find a better woman to invest in a relationship worthy of his expectation. Since Thera had shown her wish in this regard, she sincerely blessed them. In fact, thinking about it carefully, there should have been some signs before. Every time they met, Thera's eyes always couldn't help but fall on Andrew.She was really too slow-witted. She didn't notice such an obvious thing."Thera, don't worry. I will move out as soon as possible!""There's no need to be in such a hurry. Moreover, when I told you this, it wasn't for you to move out right now.""No! This matter must be done as soon as possible. If it really doesn't work, I'll just tell aunt and the others the truth. I believe they will definitely understand."Looking at Lydia's resolute appearance, Thera wondered
This person must not be offended. Heloise doesn't know, but Sibyl is very clear. Miss Roxanne's elder brother is extremely protective. Especially with Ronald standing behind her.Sibyl went forward and pulled Heloise. "Forget it, Heloise. Why bother with these kids? If we can't buy this one, we can just go to another store.""Still, this elder sister is sensible!"As soon as Sibyl finished speaking, Heloise refused to give in. "Why forget it? I saw it first. I'm not convinced!"Roxanne's temper also came up. She simply threw the dress aside. "Aunt, I can give up the dress, but we need to make it clear. What about the matter of you scolding people just now?""What's wrong with scolding you? You people are just asking for scolding. Aren't you just showing off because your family has a little money? I don't know how your parents educated you. Since your parents didn't discipline you well, then let me teach you what is called the principle of being a person...""Slap!"Before Heloise coul
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. The thing is..."Lydia, completely obl
Using their son as a shield might seem a bit embarrassing, but it was undeniably effective. Sure enough, upon hearing Wythe's name, Lydia paused her resistance to Lambert. She struggled to move her legs and began to make her way toward her home.What should have been a short ten-minute walk turned into a half-hour ordeal due to Lydia's difficulty in moving. During this time, she even awkwardly made a trip to the restroom. As she entered the later stages of her pregnancy, not only had her legs swollen, but her trips to the bathroom had also increased significantly. Just moments ago, she had finished a latte, which made the situation even more awkward—suddenly needing to find a restroom while walking.Lambert, while unaware of the many inconveniences pregnancy could bring, couldn't help but feel like a negligent husband and father as he watched Lydia struggle. He realized he knew nothing about what she was going through. Seeing her in such discomfort made his heart
Lambert closed his eyes, trying to calm the turmoil in his heart. He had truly found Lydia!"Sorry, Lydia, I think I got a bit carried away!"Could this be a dream? If it is, he hoped he'd never wake up.Lydia was at a loss for words. This wasn't just being a bit excited; he was clearly overwhelmed!She decided to change the subject. "Lambert, how's Wythe doing?" Her son was the person she cared about most, and the one she felt she owed the most to."He's fine, but he really misses you. I didn't expect that after all this time, you wouldn't even call once."Hearing this, Lydia lowered her head, guilt washing over her. In some ways, she knew she hadn't been a very good mother. She had neglected her son for her own feelings."I'm sorry..."Lambert sighed softly, a mix of emotions swirling within him. "You don't need to apologize, Lydia. It's all my fault. If I hadn't misunderstood you, you wouldn't have felt the need to leave Nov
Debby felt a sudden jolt, her ears turning bright red. Being caught doing something wrong and exposed in public was a uniquely uncomfortable experience."Uh, I..."Lambert's heart raced. Could it be that he finally found the right place? Was Lydia really at this kindergarten?Fearing he might startle her, he spoke gently, his tone patient. "Debby, there's been a misunderstanding between Lydia and me. I care about her deeply, and I can't lose her. I don't know how you've interpreted our situation, but as her friend, I assume you want her to be happy too?"Debby hesitated at his words. Was this man truly a scoundrel? Upon reflection, Lydia had only mentioned that she had divorced her partner and left Nova City due to some circumstances. She had never spoken ill of her ex-husband, so perhaps she had misjudged him?Debby's expression shifted, yet she still seemed unsure. Lambert seized the moment to ask, "Debby, Lydia hasn't left, has she?""How
Lydia could hardly believe her ears, but Debby wouldn't lie to her. So, Lambert had really come looking for her.Her emotions were a whirlwind. It had been nearly five months since she left. During this time, she had come to Y City alone, found a job at a kindergarten, and gradually found some peace.Being away from the chaos allowed Lydia to reflect on herself, and she realized that the situation with Lambert wasn't entirely his fault. While he sometimes acted presumptuously, his intentions were good—he always acted out of concern for himself. Each argument only chipped away at their relationship.No bond can withstand constant fighting.Lost in thought, Lydia absentmindedly traced her fingers over her phone screen. Should she reach out to Lambert? According to Debby, he was probably headed to Rong City.She lowered her gaze, her long eyelashes casting shadows over her troubled eyes. When she first heard that Lambert was looking for her, her
As Lambert stepped out of the apartment, a lost look lingered in his eyes. For the past few months, he had been caught in a cycle of hope and disappointment almost every single day.He should have been used to it by now, but each time he felt let down, hurt, and increasingly restless. The longer the search went on, the more he worried about whether he would ever find Lydia."Hey, don't be too downcast. Finding someone is like this; as long as you persevere, you will eventually locate them!"Lambert nodded at her comforting words, knowing well that now wasn't the time to give up."Lambert, since you haven't found her yet, what's your next move?"He frowned slightly. "I think I'll stay here for a while. According to the information my friend gave me, there might be another Lydia in City Y."She sighed. "You really have it tough. How long do you think it will take to find her? It's like searching for a needle in a haystack!""It's okay;
Upon seeing the information, Lambert felt as though he'd been tirelessly searching, only to stumble upon the answer effortlessly.Watching him hold the household registry, his hands trembling, the elderly woman knew that this young man truly loved his wife. She couldn't help but sigh. Why couldn't people just talk things out calmly instead of storming off? When this Lambert finally found his wife, she made a mental note to have a good talk with her. After all, finding someone who genuinely loves you these days isn't easy, especially someone as handsome and devoted as him.As she shared more advice, Lambert listened attentively. A couple of hours later, there he was, standing outside apartment 803 of Building 6, disguised in a delivery uniform, complete with a sunhat and a package in hand.*Ding dong, ding dong...*Lambert stood at the door, feeling anxious. He feared the person inside wouldn't be Lydia, but also worried they wouldn't answer at all.
The intense longing Lambert felt was like ants gnawing at his heart—an unbearable pain that consumed him. Yet, this separation made him realize even more clearly how deeply Lydia had become a part of his life. Without her, he felt utterly lost, as though she had completely permeated his existence without him even noticing.After a brief rest, Lambert began his search for information. He quietly arrived at the neighborhood where one of the pregnant women named Lydia was living and started asking around about her."You seem unfamiliar. You're not from around here, are you?" An elderly woman approached him, curiosity in her eyes.Lambert's heart leaped at the question. He had been wondering how to start the conversation, and now someone had given him the perfect opportunity. "You've got a sharp eye, ma'am. I'm new here.""I thought so! We don't usually see such a handsome young man in our neighborhood," the woman commented."Are you here for work, or are you planning to settle down? You
