On the other side, Rein, determined to prevent Wythe and Heloise from exchanging any information, decided to imprison them separately. Moreover, he brought Heloise along for his meeting with Odgen to ensure control over the situation.

Knowing that Odgen was about to rescue her, Heloise finally let out a sigh of relief. She even felt touched—she hadn't expected Odgen to be willing to exchange his shares in Universal Conglomerate for her freedom.

At 2 p.m., in the private room of the JH Club, Rein had arrived early as usual. Never one to trust others, he always familiarized himself with the surroundings beforehand.

Odgen appeared right on time. After a brief glance at each other, they got straight to business.

"Where's Heloise?" Odgen cut straight to the point, having no interest in playing games.

"Don't worry. She's here, just as you asked. Now, where's my part of the deal?"

Odgen chuckled coldly, "You can relax as well. I've got everything prepared. All that's left is for you to sign.

    Rein's heart sank at Lambert's words. Without hesitation, he dialed the number to the villa, but no matter how many times he tried, there was no answer. His expression grew increasingly grim. Turning to his men, he ordered, "Go and find out what's happening."The bodyguards quickly exited to make contact with the people at the villa. Two minutes later, they returned, hesitating as they whispered something to Rein. His face turned as white as a sheet, and he staggered back, collapsing into the sofa in defeat.His eyes were vacant, utterly disoriented by the turn of events.Odgen glanced at his son with a questioning look. Lambert, fully aware, explained, "You thought you were clever kidnapping Wythe, but unfortunately, he's already been rescued. So, now you have no cards left to play.""Do you still think you have any means to defeat me?" Lambert's voice dripped with sarcasm. "Your grand ambitions clearly don't belong in Nova City."Rein's face flushed with anger, his hand clutching hi

    Kristin felt a sense of relief when she saw Rein's relatively positive attitude. Initially, when she learned that Rein had kidnapped someone for business purposes, anger had nearly overwhelmed her, almost causing her to faint from the shock.Rein's mother came from a prominent family and had always valued her reputation highly. Rein had been careful not to let her know about his previous questionable actions. If it weren't for Lambert inviting her over this time, Rein would never have disclosed what he had done.Under Kristin's watchful eye, Rein sent Lambert a formal request for a meeting the very next morning, intending to apologize in person. Lambert graciously accepted the gesture, offering Rein a way to make amends.Without delving into the details of how Rein apologized to Lambert, he swiftly purchased return tickets on the same day at his mother's urging, and both he and Kristin left promptly. His actions were quick and decisive, without a moment's hesitation.The tension that

    Lambert held Wythe's small hand as they waited in the living room for Lydia to finish getting ready. Wythe, growing impatient, pouted, "Dad, Mom is so slow!"No matter how smart he was, he was still just a child, with all the usual impatience of one.Lambert crouched down to look Wythe in the eyes. "Wythe, learning to wait is an essential trait of a gentleman. Besides, don't you want to see Mom looking her best?"Wythe proudly lifted his chin. "Mom's always beautiful, even without getting dressed up! Right, Dad?"Lambert was momentarily speechless, caught off guard by his son's response. He chuckled and affectionately tapped Wythe's nose. "You're such a clever little rascal!""Of course I am!" Wythe said, beaming with pride.Just then, Lydia descended the stairs. She was dressed in a light pink gown, her delicate features enhanced by a subtle touch of makeup. Her skin, smooth and radiant, looked even more stunning against the soft pink, giving her an almost ethereal appearance, like a

    Odgen truly couldn't understand the thoughts of young people these days, but in this case, that worked in his favor.Ophelia hadn't expected Odgen to respond anyway. After all, there was nothing she wanted that she couldn't get.Lambert sat down next to Lydia, lowering his head to take a bite of the cake from her hand. The overwhelming sweetness filled his mouth, making him frown.He didn't like overly sweet foods."What are you doing here? Don't you have a date lined up? A lot of debutantes came here today just for you!"The sarcastic voice sounded in his ear. Lambert sneered, "You should worry about yourself. If I remember correctly, your date today is Thera. It's not very gentlemanly of you to abandon your partner, is it?""And eyeing someone else's fiancée is gentlemanly? I didn't expect you to be that kind of person!""Andrew...""Enough, both of you! Stop arguing!"Lydia's face changed as she set down her tray and took little Wythe's hand. "I'm taking Wythe for some fresh air. Y

    The guests, who had been happily dancing in the ballroom, suddenly stopped, their attention drawn to Lambert's actions. Whispering among themselves, curiosity and excitement spread through the crowd."What's going on? Why did the music stop all of a sudden?" "Looks like there's a commotion over there." "Let's go check it out. Something dramatic might be happening!"On the other side of the room, Odgen's face darkened as he watched Lambert."Lambert, what are you doing?" Odgen's voice was sharp, filled with frustration.Every time this woman was involved, Lambert would lose control, acting impulsively and recklessly, like he had lost his senses.Lambert, still gripping Lydia's hand firmly, responded without hesitation, "It's nothing, Father. I just have something to make clear to you. Whatever plans you've made, remember this for the rest of my life, I want no one but Lydia."His bold declaration was a direct slap in Odgen's face, causing his anger to flare. The guests, especially the

    The crowd began whispering among themselves, and Odgen's face darkened as if deep in thought. Lydia, too, looked at Lambert with surprise. She had thought Lambert was merely speaking out of frustration. After all, they had known each other for a long time, and there was nothing about him she hadn't already uncovered. No one understood Lambert's dedication to Universal Conglomerate better than she did.Yet now, Lambert had transferred his shares without hesitation, meaning that all his years of hard work would be for nothing. Lydia wasn't the only one shocked; several others, especially those who had once hoped to win Lambert's favor, abandoned their plans after hearing the news.Lambert stepped toward Lydia, looking deeply into her eyes with utter seriousness. "Lydia, if I truly have nothing left, would you still be with me?"Lydia's expression was complicated, her emotions a mix of bitterness and sweetness. "Lambert, there's no need for this. You know very well... there's no future f

    Everyone was stunned as they looked in Lambert's direction. His expression wasn't pleasant either. He had no intention of revealing his identity, but Andy, with his big mouth, had spilled the beans.Sensing the strange atmosphere, Andy cautiously asked, "What's wrong, Boss? Don't they already know?"Lambert gritted his teeth. "Do you think they knew?"Only then did Andy realize the gravity of what he had just revealed. Odgen, on the other hand, was completely floored. He stood frozen, staring at Lambert, suddenly realizing he knew nothing about his son, despite Lambert being his own flesh and blood.Lydia, too, was in shock as she looked at Lambert. After knowing him for so long, she had no idea that he was hiding such a massive secret. The owner of the SA Consortium? Such a powerful and influential position! No wonder when Odgen had cut him off from the family fortune, Lambert had been so unfazed—he had nothing to fear!Lydia suddenly felt ridiculous. She had married him and divorced

    "Shit!" Lambert cursed under his breath as he quickly jumped out of the car and ran after Lydia.A Bentley suddenly pulled up next to her, and as Andrew saw Lydia running straight ahead, he slammed on the brakes. The sharp screeching sound made his heart clench in fear.Lydia froze in place, trembling, her face as pale as a sheet of paper.Andrew hurriedly opened the door and pulled her into his arms, his heart pounding in relief. Cold sweat trickled down his back as he realized how close he had come to hitting her if he'd been going any faster."Lydia, are you okay? Weren't you supposed to be leaving with Thera's car? What happened—"Before he could finish, someone rushed up behind them. Looking up, Andrew saw Lambert, his face filled with regret.Lydia clung to Andrew's shirt as if holding on to her last hope. Her voice was panicked and desperate. "Andrew, please take me away, I beg you!"Andrew didn't know exactly what had happened between Lydia and Lambert, but he could never refu

    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

    Lambert knelt down, meeting Wythe's eyes, and asked gently, "Wythe, are you sure this is what you want? Staying here while we're away—won't you feel lonely?"Though Wythe didn't want to be separated from his father, he wanted even more for his dad to focus fully on finding his mom, so they could all be together again. There's a saying about temporary separation being for a longer reunion—something like that."If I miss you, I can always call or video chat! Don't worry, Dad, I'm all grown up now—I won't embarrass you!"Lambert ruffled Wythe's hair, pride swelling in his chest. "You'll always be my best son! Both your mom and I are so proud of you."Wythe blushed a little. "Dad, don't praise me in front of everyone like this, I might actually get too proud!"Thera, standing nearby, burst into laughter at his bashful expression and swooped in to pick him up, giving him a playful kiss on the cheek.

    Lambert carefully tucked Wythe into bed before solemnly opening the letter Lydia had left behind."...Lambert, by the time you read this letter, I'll probably already be in another city. I'm not sure if we'll ever see each other again.Sometimes, I wonder how we ended up like this. We once loved each other so deeply, but now, we've only caused each other endless pain.There's nothing going on between Andrew and me. I don't know if you'll believe me when I say this, but when I first found out I was pregnant again, I wanted to tell you the truth. Sadly, it seemed like you weren't willing to listen.I tried, again and again, to get back together with you, but no matter how hard I tried, it felt like we were two parallel lines—never to intersect again.Lambert, I don't know if I'm making the right decision, or even why I'm doing this. I just know that if I stayed in Nova City, I would lose my mind. So I've decided to leave. I need to find a place where no one knows me, and I don't know an
