 Five years later, at Chicago Airport.

  Emily was wearing sunglasses. She was pushing two suitcases, with two children walking beside her.

  "Mommy." Diane hugged Emily's leg and looked up at her.

  "Stupid Diane, stop acting like a spoiled child. You're making mommy tired," Chris said coldly.

  Diane stuck her tongue out at Chris.

  "Mommy, are you tired? I'll give you a kiss." Diane kissed Emily on the cheek.

  "Chris, you have one too." Diane also kissed Chris on the cheek.

  "Diane, don't do that to me." Chris wiped his face.

  He held Diane's hand to keep her from bumping into others.

  Emily took Chris and Diane to the hotel. Then, she put Chris and Diane to bed.

  Emily changed into a black dress. As she turned back, she saw Chris looking at her with his dark green eyes.

  "Chris, what are you doing here?" Emily asked gently.

  "Mommy, are you going somewhere?" Chris asked in concern.

  Emily patted Chris' head. She knew that Chris had been trying to take care of her.

  "I have something important to do."

  "I want to go with you," Chris immediately said.

  "Chris. You can't come with me this time." Emily said gently. "Take care of your sister and I'll be back soon, okay?"

  "Okay, Mommy. Come back soon. Diane and I will wait for you." Chris agreed reluctantly.

  "Okay, sweetie." Emily kissed Chris on the forehead. She didn't want to leave them alone here, but there was something she had to do now.

  Emily drove on the road. She turned on the radio and heard a piece of news. "The engagement party between the Scott family and the Hopkinson family is being held at Azure Hotel. Many celebrities will attend the party..."

  Azure Hotel.

  Rose drove the maids out of her room. She needed to talk to her mother, Laura, privately.

  "Laura, I'm so nervous." Rose held Laura's hand.

  Five years had passed. Derek had never mentioned marrying Rose. At that time, she brought the twins to Derek, hoping to marry him. Derrick took the babies in but did not marry Rose.

  "Don't worry. You will be Mrs. Scott. You gave Derek a pair of twins. He has agreed to the engagement. Soon, you will marry him." Laura comforted Rose.

  After listening to Laura, Rose felt better.

  "Remember, Rose, you are the future hostess of the Scott family. I won't let the two little bastards get in your way," Laura said firmly.

  Suddenly, someone knocked on the door, which shocked Laura and Rose.

  "Derek, it's good to see you," Laura said with a smile.

  "Hello, Mrs. Hopkinson. Is Rose ready? The party has begun," Derek said coldly.

  Laura passed Rose's hand to Derek.

  The guests had gathered in the hall downstairs.

  Derek and Laura came down together while everyone was watching them.

  The guests raised their glasses to the couple with smiles on their faces.

  "Thank you for coming to Rose and Derek's engagement party today." Laura looked at Rose lovingly. "I have a gift for Rose. Bennett had a will before he passed away..."

  "It looks like Rose is not only going to become Derek's fiancée, she'll also inherit the Hopkinson family's property," someone said.

  Laura looked at Kevin under the stage and said with a smile, "Kevin, as Bennett's lawyer, please read his will."

  A middle-aged man with glasses walked up with a document in his hand.

  "Everyone, I am Bennett's lawyer. Now, I will read his will."

  "The Hopkinson Group will be..."

  "Wait."

  Kevin was just about to say the name when he was interrupted by a woman's voice.

  Everyone looked at the door.

  Emily stood outside the door in a long black dress. Her hair was tied up, and she was holding a white daisy in her hand. She was not wearing any jewelry.

  "Who is this? This is Derek's engagement party, not a funeral..."

  "Emily? I thought she died five years ago!"

  "She is also Bennett's daughter. Is she here to fight for the inheritance?"

  The crowd whispered. They looked surprised.

  They did not expect that a person who had been missing for five years would show up at the engagement party.

  Rose was so frightened that she had cold feet. She buried Emily with her own hands, yet Emily was standing right in front of her!

  Laura walked to Emily as she entered the hall. She grabbed Emily's hair and was about to slap her.

  "Get out! If not for you, Bennett wouldn't have been so ill."

  Emily grabbed Laura's hand and slapped her.

  "Mom!" Rose screamed and rushed over. "Emily, this is my engagement party. Get out of here."

  "I'm the heir of the Hopkinson family, and I need to be present when the will is being read," Emily said firmly.

  "I'm the heir. Get out, now!" Rose shrieked and pounced on Emily.

  Emily dodged. She picked up the cake on the table and smashed it on Rose's head.

  Rose and Derek were supposed to cut the cake together before the engagement party ended.

  Now, the cake, as a simble of their union, was ruined.

  Laura was mad. "Emily, how dare you ruin Rose's engagement party!"

  "Emily, this is the Hopkinson family's business. Let's talk about it in private, okay?" Ash came forward and stood in front of Laura.

  "Ash, my dear uncle, you always take Laura's side. Should I remind you that she is my father's wife." Emily looked at Ash mockingly.

  "Shut up, Emily. Bennett made the will before he died. You are in no position to question it," Laura quickly cut in, since she knew that Emily was implying that she had been sleeping with Ash.

  "Very well." Emily grabbed the will from Kevin's hand and took out a lighter. She burnt it in front of everyone.

  "Now, am I qualified?" Emily wiped her hands on the tablecloth.

  "No, my will!" Rose tried to grab it. But it had already turned into ashes.

  "Look what you've done, Emily," Ash shouted.

  "I burned the will because it's not real," Emily said calmly.

  "What? Emily, do you think Bennett would make you his successor?" Laura said angrily. "If not for your scandal, Bennett wouldn't fall ill! He died because of you!"

  Yes, Emily knew that everyone thought she was the one who killed Bennett.

      "Shut up." A man said in a mad tone.  Everyone looked over. It was Derek, Rose's fiance.  Derek was tall and handsome. As the heir of the Scott family, he looked powerful and deterring.  He frowned in disgust at this farce. Although he didn't like Rose, he hated it more when people were making a scene.  Emily watched as Derek walked up to her. She looked straight into his eyes, feeling that he was somehow familiar.  Derek's face darkened. He hated people staring at him, especially women.  "If you are not here for the engagement party, please leave," Derek said impatiently.  "As the head of the Hopkinson family, I must be present when the will is being read. Mr. Scott, you can't ask me to leave." Emily knew that Derek was Rose's fiance and would take her side.  The Scott family was powerful, especially after Derek became the head of the family. Emily knew very well that she could not fight against the two families at the same time. However, Rose killed her babies, and Emily c

     The sky darkened, and it began to rain.  Emily was about to drive back to the hotel when she realized that she had a flat tire. She waited for a long time and still couldn't get a taxi and she was drenched in the rain.  She kicked the tire angrily.  Emily thought about Bennett's death, the night five years ago, and her dead babies. She broke down.  She crouched in the rain and pressed her head against her arms. Her tears mingled with the rain and ran down her face.  Then, a car slowly stopped in front of her. The window was down. It was Derek.  "Get in the car," said Derek.  Emily bit her lower lip. She didn't like his tone.  "No, thanks, Mr. Scott." She quickly wiped her tears, though her eyes were still red.  "Really? You lied to Aaron just now. He's still waiting for you," Derek said with a gloomy expression.  Then, Aaron's little head popped out of the window, and he looked at Emily with his big eyes.  Emily didn't know what to say.  So, she compromised.  She got int

     The next day, the three of them finished their breakfast and went to the company they had chosen.  In the car, Emily was still reading about the company's information. DreamKids was a subsidiary of the Scott Group. They focused on children's clothing.  Emily thought of the conflict with Derek last night and had second thoughts. But as she looked at Chris and Diane, she gave up the idea and didn't want to let them down.  'Derek is the head of the Scott family and must be very busy. DreamKids is just a subsidiary company, so, he won't show up today.' Emily comforted herself.  Looking at the huge office building in front of her, Diane was impressed.  "Chris, this place is so nice." Diane was so excited that her face turned red. She hugged Chris and kissed him on the face, showing that she was very satisfied with this company.  "Diane, you are already four years old. Don't kiss me like this." Chris wiped his face.  "Chris, I'm only four. Why are you always so serious?" Diane said

      Chris and Diane let go of Emily's hands until they left the company.  "Mommy, I love you the most. You should love me the most too," Diane said seriously.  "Mommy loves me the most," Chris said.  Emily kissed their foreheads and said gently, "I love both of you with all my heart."  "I know. I am so sweet. Mommy must love me very much," Diane replied with a satisfied smile.  Chris pinched Diane's cheek. Diane cried out, "Chris!"  Emily stopped Diane. "It's almost noon. Let's go have lunch. I have a good friend called Louise. I want you to meet her."  In the restaurant, Louise saw Emily as soon as she entered.  She had a bright smile on her face as she walked over and hugged Emily.  "Emily, I missed you so much. I couldn't believe it was you when I saw you at the engagement party yesterday," Louise choked.  "Everyone said that you died. I don't believe that and have been looking for you for a long time."  Louise and Emily grew up together and were very close. Louise was ver

      When Diane woke up, she saw Emily sitting by the bed and looking at her.  "Mommy?" Diane whispered.  "Sweetie, you finally woke up. How do you feel now? Do you want some water?" Emily asked as she helped Diane sit up.  Diane felt dizzy. "Mommy, I feel my stomach is a little upset. What happened to me?"  "Diane, do you remember what happened back then?" Emily stroked her hair gently.  Diane had just woken up and did not know what had happened. She looked confused.  "I remember that Mr. Clown gave me a balloon. The fairy printed on the balloon was very similar to Mommy, and then..." Diane frowned and tried hard to think back.  "Mommy, was I kidnapped? How much did they ask for?" Diane asked seriously.  Diane was like a small miser. She knew it wasn't easy for her mother to make money and wouldn't give the money to the kidnappers. Diane wouldn't forget about it.  "Stupid Diane."  Chris came through the door and heard Diane's last sentence. He walked to Diane and gently knocke

      Derek stood up and walked to Emily. He rubbed Aaron's head.  "Aaron spoke for the first time when he saw you. I took him to the hospital for a thorough examination," Derek said to Emily. "Aaron stays in this ward every time he comes, so..."  Emily nodded.  "Has Aaron's examination results come out yet?" Emily couldn't help asking. She seemed to really care about Aaron.  "Just like before, he is OK. However, he is willing to talk to others now. This is a good sign." Derek's gaze fell on Aaron.  "Come home with me," Aaron said to Emily once again.  This was already the third time he said so. 'Aaron is very persistent in bringing me home,' Emily thought to herself.  Chris was unhappy when he heard this. He ran to Emily, pulled Aaron away, and threw himself into Emily's arms.  "Emily is me and Diane's mommy. We're a family, so we're going home together," Chris said domineeringly.  Emily rarely saw Chris being agitated, but between Aaron and Chris, she would choose Chris without

      Emily did not answer Derek immediately. She thought for a moment and said, "I can help Aaron, but I'm not sure if I can cure him since I'm not a doctor."  "Also, I can go to the Scott's often, but I won't live there," Emily added.  "Deal." Derek knew that Emily would not agree to be Aaron's nanny. However, he was willing to take a step back since she was special to Aaron. She could make Aaron feel better.  Then Derek looked at Aaron. "Let's go home."  Aaron, however, kept looking at Emily.  "Aaron, I need to take care of Diane now. In a few days, I'll go to your house to see you, okay?" Emily crouched.  Aaron nodded.  "And Ian."  Ian was happy since Aaron also cared about him.  "Alright, I'll go to your house to see you and Ian," Emily laughed.  Derek nodded at Emily and Louise before leaving with Aaron and Ian.  Emily closed the door and saw Louise was still standing there.  "Louise, what's wrong?" Emily found it strange.  "Emily, I didn't know that you've been through

      "Emily? Why are you here?" Rose shouted in surprise.  Emily heard Ian cry. She had just brought Aaron down the stairs when she saw Rose bullying Ian. Emily hurriedly stopped Rose.  When Emily walked into the living room, she saw Ian standing there. He was crying, and Emily felt like her heart was going to break.  She hugged Ian. "Ian, it's alright. Don't be afraid."  Emily then turned to Rose. Her tone was stern. "Rose, Ian is your son! How can you treat him like this? You are not worthy of being a mother!"  Emily loved Chris and Diane very much, so she could not understand why Rose was so mean to Ian.  Because of Emily's comfort, Ian stopped crying.  He could feel Emily's concern for him. He leaned his head on Emily's shoulder and wished that Emily was his mother.  "Ian, I am your mother. I will marry Derek in the future, and we will be a family!" Rose said angrily. She felt that Ian and Emily were so annoying.  "You can marry Derek, but you shouldn't use Aaron and Ian. Th

    Time flied, and before everyone realized it, a year had gone by.During this time, Charlotte's life abroad appeared calm and routine. She woke up early every day for classes, diligently completed assignments, engaged in academic discussions with her classmates, and participated in various club activities. In the eyes of her friends, she was a positive and energetic girl.Only she knew deep down that she had been waiting, waiting for the one she loved so dearly, the prince who had promised to come back for her.Late at night, Charlotte often found herself sitting alone at her small dormitory desk, gazing out the window at the starry sky, feeling a lingering sense of loss and loneliness in her heart. She had asked herself more than once where Kingsley was and why he never wrote or called.On this sunny day, Charlotte went to the school library as usual, ready to work on an important paper. She sat by the window, her desk piled high with various referenc

    Kingsley knew deep down that Charlotte wasn't that kind of person, but the beast suppressed within him was roaring uncontrollably, and the malice rooted in the marrow of his bones surged through him, causing even his blood to boil.His eyes turned cold and gloomy as he glanced towards Charlotte's siblings, emotions spiraling out of control within him.If without them...If...Kingsley suddenly felt a weight on his shoulders.He turned to see Freya's hand resting there, her expression hardened, eyes gazing up at him with concern.Charlotte pushed past Aaron and edged forward.Seeing Kingsley's obviously troubled eyes, her heart raced, her voice becoming raspy and hard to hear. "Wait... for me..."At the sound of her voice, Kingsley visibly froze, then the darkness in his eyes lifted abruptly as he stared into hers, his tone somewhat uncertain. "Charlotte? What's with your voice?"Charlotte's eyes reddened, but she bit her

    On this day, Charlotte's siblings took her to the hospital to visit Kingsley at Derek and Emily's insistence.At the hospital entrance, Freya and Chris chatted as they walked toward Kingsley's room. Charlotte's footsteps behind them were eager, and Diana held her back, squeezing her hand to calm her.Charlotte glanced at her sister, understanding the concern in Diana's eyes, biting her lip to suppress the impatience in her heart.She couldn't be blamed for being eager; since witnessing Kingsley jump from the school building rooftop, she hadn't exchanged a word with him.Their closeness was stark, yet they were almost separated by life and death. The image of Kingsley jumping from the building was like a nightmare etched in her mind.Thinking about it brought back that choking feeling, making her breath quicken. She forced herself to endure it, following her siblings into the exclusive elevator that took them straight to Kingsley's floor.&nb

    The next morning, sunlight streamed through the cracks in the curtains, spilling onto the carpet.Charlotte opened her eyes just in time to see Emily changing the water at her bedside. Emily was surprised when she noticed Charlotte waking up. "Charlotte, you're awake!"Charlotte nodded silently.There was a faint sound coming from outside the door. Charlotte glanced over, her expression puzzled. Emily explained beside her, "Ian and Diana are both back, and your father is outside interrogating them."Charlotte's expression shifted slightly at that news. She looked somewhat anxious.This matter was clearly her own problem, yet it seemed her father was pursuing it as if her brothers and sister were solely responsible, which felt unfair to them. The guilt inside her intensified as she thought about it.Seeing Charlotte attempting to get up, Emily quickly intervened, "Hey, Charlotte, don't move! Your injuries haven't healed yet!"As if sensi

    The Scott family manor was brightly lit.After more than three years, the Scott family once again activated the first level of defense. The black-clothed bodyguards, who were early at the Scott family manor, stood firmly on guard, while the Scott family servants gathered in the hall and garden, heads lowered, waiting strictly.Vehicles neatly lined up and entered the gates of the Scott family, bypassing the open-air fountain and proceeding towards the main house.Chris's face was vaguely pale; he had learned from a phone call with Diana on the way that their parents had returned. Emily and Derek were already aware of everything that had happened.Judging by their current demeanor, one could see that Emily and Derek were genuinely angry. After all, they had kept the truth from Emily and Derek for so long, and now it was revealed after such a significant accident.Beside them, Charlotte remained silent and withdrawn. Her once clear and bright

    It was hard for her to believe that the clean, even a little shy Kingsley she knew and the bloodthirsty, horrible person in front of her were the same person.She had always known that Kingsley's condition was serious, but it was only when she was confronted head-on for the first time that she realized just how horrible it was. Kingsley didn't even look like a normal person at this point."Kingsley!" Freya's expression changed; she became nervous and cautious as she slowly stepped forward. "Drop the knife and come here, let me see your wound."At this point, Theo's death was completely unimportant. If Kingsley is allowed to see more bloodshed or even directly kill Theo, I'm afraid his condition will worsen, and he won't be able to regain his sanity at all.In the face of Freya's coaxing, Kingsley did not react at all. Holding the knife in one hand, he pressed his other hand against Theo's neck harder and harder."Kingsley!" Freya was anxious, but she d

    Outside the school, Charlotte was escorted to a waiting car. The vehicle was equipped with special materials, bulletproof and resistant to various thermal weapons. Even though the school's premises had been cleared of bombs, Theo had come prepared, and no one knew if he had any other plans lurking in the shadows. Chris wasn't about to let his sister take such a risk.The people at the school had no idea what kind of life-and-death disaster they had just narrowly avoided. They all emerged from the school, unaware of the danger they had faced. They got into various luxury cars and departed one after another. Originally, Carl wanted to wait at the door, but with too many acquaintances coming and going, he had no choice but to hide in the Scott family's car.Chris voiced his concern, "Are you sure Theo will keep his word?""Not entirely," Carl replied, taking off his gold-rimmed glasses and impatiently rubbing his brow. "But Kingsley had to take a gamble on whether Theo still had it in

    When these words were spoken, all the bodyguards present were shocked. Theo was filled with disbelief."What did you say? You're going to declare war on me in the manner of the Livingston family?" Theo almost laughed out loud. "Do you know what you're talking about?"Carl's face hardened for a moment as well. "Kingsley, calm down!"Kingsley, however, paid no attention to him. He stared into Theo's eyes, showing no hint of hesitation or fear. He said, "I know exactly what I'm doing, so don't you dare underestimate me."This declaration made Theo's face darken, his expression obscure, filled with deep thoughts.Charlotte looked at Chris somewhat helplessly. She didn't understand what was happening. Was this a big gamble by Kingsley?Chris composed himself, looked towards Kingsley and Theo's confrontation, and softly explained, "The Livingston family has rules. Members can challenge each other when there are disputes or unavoidable conflicts. They fight one-on-one in a life-and-death due

    Ben held Charlotte at gunpoint, then glanced at Theo, who sat calmly and inquired, "What do you want?""I know you plan to use her against Kingsley and the Livingston family. My request is simple: ten million dollars and a getaway car," Ben stated viciously."Oh? You're not seeking vengeance for your family?" Theo remained composed."I'm not naive! I know how to negotiate with someone like you for maximum gain. You never intended to aid in avenging my family, did you?"Theo chuckled softly. "Looks like you're still somewhat sharp, but... still an idiot!"At Theo's words, two black-clad bodyguards suddenly emerged, advancing toward Ben."Aren't you worried I'll kill her? Then you'd have nothing to hold over Kingsley!" Ben exclaimed in panic."Foolish! My aim was always to destabilize Kingsley mentally. If you did kill Charlotte, I'd owe you gratitude."Hearing this, panic flashed in Ben's eyes, and in his haste, he aimed his pistol at Theo.
