Chapter 126: Anything. When Aiden woke up from the nightmare, he wore his flip-flops and headed to the balcony. The cool air blew against his broad bare chest, giving him a chill. The vibrant moon stood majestically, shading its glow over the city. He found it alluring and would stare at it. It was six months ago when he found out from the investigator he had hired that Elsie was the girl in that accident. Not only that, her mother and brother had died in the crash too. "Why did my mother lie to me?" he wondered. "Why did I believe her?" Suddenly, his heart felt heavy. He slammed his fist into the wall, and bruises coated his knuckles as a result. Secretly, Elsie watched him in silence. She could not help but cry to see him in this state. The drift in their relationship was taking a toll on their lives. Again, he punched the wall harder than the first time. ### Outside a four-star hotel, the sun was overhead, and people went about their dail
Chapter 127:The song is over "Mom, join us for dinner," Little Eldon called out to his mother, Elsie, who had just arrived home. Elsie surveyed the area. All her favorite dishes had been set up. She gazed up at Aiden with a questioning look. "What is the celebration?" Elsie asked, gaze at the table. The aroma wafting into her nose, causing her to salivate. "It is your birthday today," Aiden replied with a small smile. Things had been awkward between them, and he didn't know how to act around her anymore. Elsie's lips parted in surprise when she heard this. Her phone had run out of power because she had left the charger at home. "You forgot your own birthday, Mommy," Eldon found this amusing and couldn't help but laugh. "Are you laughing at your mom, baby? That isn't fair. I forgot," Elsie said, a slight frown on her face. "Who forgets their birthday?" Eldon giggled, his hands clasped in front of him. Elsie came over and showered him with kisses,
Chapter 128: I am his victim too Elsie watched the fleeing figure, feeling a whirlwind of emotions. One of the servants came by, holding up a tray of shots. "Ma'am, do you want a glass?" the servant, Naina, asked, her voice laced with pity as she stared at Elsie. Elsie felt like she had been kicked in the stomach. She knew this woman had been drugging her for the past years, which made her stomach flip with resentment. Slowly, Elsie shook her head. "No, Naina," she replied, her voice calm. The girl grew flustered, rubbing the back of her neck nervously as she searched for a different strategy. "Ma'am, the house has been quiet. Is there a problem between you and President Scott?"
Chapter 129: I have my ways. In the jail visitation room, Dahlia met with her lawyer, Sylvester Peters. They sat across from each other, Sylvester clad in a grey suit and Dahlia in a green free dress. "What are you saying?" Dahlia asked, her voice laced with concern. "I'm sorry, Dahlia, but the judge denied your bail for the second time." Sylvester said, his voice somber. "We can plead--" "Isn't that because of the Scotts? Are they using their power?" Dahlia's voice was laced with bitterness as she interrupted him. "Well, the judge and Aiden Scott attended the same university, and they are quite close. It could be..." Sylvester admitted, his voice small.  
Chapter 130: Truly disgusting Sebastian stepped into the mini bar, his expression a mix of surprise and concern. "I was surprised to get your call. And worried too," he said, adjusting his white turtleneck and jeans as he took in Aiden's somber demeanor. Aiden remained silent, filling his glass with more wine, his white shirt unbuttoned at the top, revealing his broad chest. The tension in the room was palpable. After a moment, Sebastian could no longer bear the silence. "Oh, I see. Is this the silent treatment I have heard fondly of? If you aren't going to speak to me, then I should leave to wallow in your sorrows in peace." He shifted his weight, hands sinking into his pockets. "Wait," Aiden called out, frustration evident in his voice.&n
Chapter 131: You let a dangerous psychopath roam free Elsie's mind was reeling from the bombshell Loretta had just dropped. Aiden's life was in danger because of the malicious schemes of his own sister. She couldn't even begin to imagine the turmoil he must be feeling. She turned to Loretta, her eyes blazing with anger. "How could you do this to your own son?" Elsie was also a mother. She could imagine putting Eldon through all that because of the family name. What kind of mother was she? To let one child take the blame for another. April killed Lynn. April was the one driving. Elsie felt like her heart would explode from the pain she was experiencing. Loretta shrunk back, her expression wracke
Chapter 132: Not me, you. Slowly, Aiden released her, and she fell to the floor, bruising her knees. Hurt flashed across his eyes, but he didn't bother to throw her a worried glance. Instead, he picked up his phone and dialed 911. The operator on the other line began, her feminine voice calm and professional. "911, what is your emergency?" Aiden's eyes flicked to April, ensuring she couldn't escape from him. She was breathing hard, lying on the floor. He took a deep breath, his voice firm and resolute. "I am Aiden Scott, and my sister, April Scott, is armed in her apartment. She planned to kill my wife, and I want officers over at her place and here too." The operator's tone became perky, her interest piqued by Aiden's famous name. "What is the address?" Aiden provided both addresses, his tone unwavering. "Thank you. We'll be there shortly," the operator replied. April's skin grew pale at the mention of the police. She had never imagined Aiden would
Chapter 133: You need to hear this. At the scene, Aiden stumbled back, his head in his hands. He looked over to Elsie, who was whimpering at the corner. He approached her cautiously. Observing her silence, he cradled her face in his hands. Her beautiful caramel-colored eyes sparkled with unshed tears. He glimpsed the fear within them and asked in a low voice, "Are you scared?" Elsie chuckled softly. She had encountered numerous situations that failed to instill fear in her. She looked at him with significant meaning and muttered, "I'm not afraid of dying, Aiden. I'm only afraid of losing you and my son."Breaking the silence, Elsie shrugged "I hate to be this person, but your sister was a bitch. She can't deserve it." &
