"Kate." Steven's brow furrowed as he looked at Kate helplessly. "I thought I'd made everything clear. You—""So did I." Kate sneered as she looked at Steven's face. "Do you think you can just call off the wedding because you want to break up with me? It's not as simple as you think!"Her lips curled into a cold smirk. "Don't forget that I've been traveling around the world for five years to look for a method to treat you. Do you know what motivates me to do that?"Steven furrowed his brow and did not answer."It's the in-depth cooperation between your family and mine."She knew playing the emotion card could no longer touch Steven's heart. Thus, she stopped pretending and told him everything."You're right. We've never met before you were rendered into a coma. My family has always been dedicated and concentrated on the investment and research of medical skills. After you were in a vegetative state, your family came to look for my family. They brought up the marriage arrangement a
Steven's brow furrowed vehemently. It was shocking enough that Kate would go heart-to-heart with him and tell him everything. Nevertheless, he did not expect her to threaten him with his parents and family business!His eyes grew cold as he looked at Kate. He had a judgment on Kate's personality after she sent people to track him a few times and investigate him. Despite that, he did not anticipate her true self would be even more indifferent and evil than he imagined.Kate laughed when Steven stared at her in silence. She looked at him indifferently. "I've said everything needed. If you insist on breaking up, I suggest you think about all the pros and cons. Of course, you can refuse to take notice of your family business and your parents. You can pretend that you're Luke who found his memory and left this city with Gwen."If you can accept that and not regret it in the future, you're free to do so. That's all I want to say."She thus turned and left the room.Steven remained on th
Denise was furious because of what Kate said."It's not a surprise. People who are friends with that wretch are wretched themselves!"She remembered the time she saw Yannie at the ski resort. A woman ran to Yannie and protected her. Furthermore, she even took out the same fabricated military knife as her brother's to threaten her.Denise furrowed her brow and looked at Kate. "That woman who seduced my brother… Is she the one who came with Joshua Lynch's wife, Luna?""That's her, alright." Kate was thrilled that Denise was smart to mention Gwen with her guidance. Even so, she pretended to look upset.She sighed and looked at Denise with a helpless face like her heart was broken and nothing could describe her feelings. After a while, she grabbed Denise's hand."Denise, I'm sure you're aware that woman is very close with Joshua Lynch's wife, Luna. They came together. You know what Joshua Lynch is capable, too. Furthermore, he's really close to Thomas now, and your dream to be Mrs. H
The Hughes family was truly grateful to Kate for waking up Steven, and when they heard Kate mentioning it again, Steven's parents exchanged looks with each other.Eventually, Mrs. Hughes walked toward Kate and held her hands closely. "Kate, I know you're upset. I think Steven is just not in his right mind now because of that b*tch. Don't you worry, though, because we're on your side. We'll make him change his mind. He won't break up with you."Mr. Hughes nodded vehemently. "That's right, Kate. Don't feel sad. As long as we are still alive, you are the only daughter-in-law we approve of!"Kate pursed her lips and stopped crying. "Thank you, Mr. Hughes. Thank you, Mrs. Hughes.""Sweet girl." Mrs. Hughes was relieved to see Kate stop crying. She held Kate's hand and wanted to bring her to look for Steven together."Nevermind." Kate sniffed, her voice croaky due to her crying. "You should all go without me. I don't think I should go. I'm…sure he doesn't want to see me."She withdrew
The man tumbled onto the ground and landed so hard that he could not get up.After a long time, he finally picked himself off the ground and lifted his head to reveal his bruised face. His face was so scarred one could barely make out his appearance. "Ms. Miller, I've already tried my best to choose the right person for the job. I never thought Steven would appear at the last minute and end up colliding with the truck…"I'm sure you think it's my fault, but you yourself have to admit that this was not part of your plan, too, right? I followed all the instructions you gave me…"The man climbed up from the ground and plopped back onto the sofa. "I've already sent some people to keep an eye on Joshua and Thomas, and I even specifically picked a time when they wouldn't be around to do this."It's not my fault that things didn't go as planned…"Kate's rage slowly subsided when she heard this.She rolled her eyes at him and said coldly, "Thankfully, Gwen didn't seem to realize that we
Thomas narrowed his eyes. "Malcolm is here in Saigen City?"His men had been trying to track down Malcolm in Merchant City, and initially, they could still trace his phone signal. About a month ago, however, the phone signal disappeared without a trace.No matter how hard he tried, he could not seem to locate Malcolm's whereabouts after that. It was as though he had disappeared into thin air.Nonetheless, Thomas had no intention of letting him go.Because of Malcolm's meddling, Thomas ended up misunderstanding Joshua and Luna for so long that he almost got into trouble. Not only that, but he almost had Bonnie killed, too!Even though Thomas had not taken part in this directly, he still could not help feeling remorseful for his actions.If he had not believed Malcolm and brought him back to Merchant City, Bonnie would not have gotten into that situation at all.Therefore, he had to make Malcolm pay the price, and because of this, he had assigned some of his men to keep an eye on
Thomas narrowed his eyes when he heard this. "Is that true?"This was new."Of course it is!" A glimmer of triumph flashed through Tina's eyes when she sensed Thomas' attitude letting up. "Of course it's true. I know I lied to you before, Thomas, but I wouldn't dare to do it anymore."After all, you know how good that helper of yours, Joshua Lynch, is at his job—he's already claimed most of the family inheritance. Your father knows that if he doesn't admit his mistake now, he won't have any way to fight back against you."At the same time, he's still holding onto his ego, so he insisted I call you and persuade you to come home. Then, he'll apologize to you, and you can discuss everything together."Tina was trying her best to coax Thomas to come home.Thomas narrowed his eyes at this.A split second later, he curled his lips into a smirk and scoffed. "Well, he should've thought of this in the first place."This was why he had enlisted Joshua's help—to get back what was rightful
Yannie was at the hospital with Luna and Rachel in the midst of comforting Gwen when she received Thomas' call.From the moment she returned to the hotel, Gwen had been sitting in silence in front of the window, staring out at the view.No matter what Luna and Rachel did, Gwen would stare out the window blankly as though she could not hear a single word they said—until Yannie arrived.Yannie held her hand and patiently described everything that had happened to Steven to her.This was when the familiar gleam in Gwen's eyes began to return.She lifted her head to stare at Yannie in puzzlement. "Are you saying that Steven and Luke were possibly brothers or even twins?"Yannie nodded. "I overheard Thomas' spy saying this. Apparently, the Hughes family had been blessed with a set of twin boys, but for some reason, the boys had been ill since birth, and one of them even almost died."Therefore, they sought out the help of a fortune teller who foretold that…"Yannie paused for a momen
