 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 into the car while Aaron kept staring at her.

  After Emily got in, Aaron lay in her arms and soon fell asleep, his little hands clinging to her clothes.

  Ian sat on the other side and asked curiously, "Emily, do you like Derek?"

  "No, Ian, I don't like Derek," Emily said with a smile.

  "Why?" Ian sat up. He found it hard to believe because Derek was tall and handsome and took charge of the Scott family.

  "Derek is the best, Emily," Ian said seriously.

  Ian looked serious and Emily wanted him to relax.

  She joked, "Derek is too serious. I prefer sweet boys like you and Aaron."

  Ian flushed and said proudly, "You're right. Aaron and I are more lovely."

  Derek's face darkened. He did not want to wake Aaron and only glared at Emily as if to warn her not to talk nonsense.

  Emily and Ian enjoyed their chatting and did not pay attention to Derek.

  When they arrived at the Scott's, both Aaron and Ian had fallen asleep.

  Derek opened the car door. Emily carried Aaron out. Then, he turned back to Ian.

  Emily followed him to the children's room. They tuck in the boys after putting them on their beds.

  Emily then prepared to leave.

  "Miss Hopkinson," Derek stopped Emily. "Please come with me."

  Emily followed him downstairs to the living room.

  "Miss Hopkinson, I want you to be Aaron's nanny. How much should I pay you for this job? Just give me a number," Derek asked bluntly.

  Emily wasn't surprised since she noticed that Aaron had autism. But she also needed to take care of Chris and Diane.

  "Thanks, but no. I have a job." Emily refused.

  "I'll pay you fifteen times more." Derek's face looked sullen. He didn't like people rejecting him.

  "Mr. Scott, I don't want the job. I've already made it clear. Did you forget that I just ruined your engagement party?" Emily asked in a mad tone.

  "Years ago, you did something bad, so you have to bear the consequences. Besides, you had never taken care of Bennett when he got ill," said Derek as he looked at her.

  His words enraged Emily. As if transformed into a she-wolf, she seized Derek's collar and pushed him against the wall.

  Derek's body hit the wall with a loud thud.

  "Shut up. You had no idea what really happened!" Emily was furious that her eyes turned red.

  Derek was also enraged and wanted to give her a lesson.

  He seized Emily by the wrists and neck. He was so close to Emily that he could hear her quick breathing.

  Suddenly, he could smell her. It was like the dew on the pine needles under the moon, which reminded him of the night five years ago. Derek paused.

  Since he stopped, Emily took the chance and stomped on his foot.

  Derek let go of his grip in pain, and she immediately ran away.

  She must get back to the hotel soon. Chris and Diane needed her. Emily thought as she ran.

  Emily returned to the hotel. As she opened the door, she heard Chris and Diane's voices.

  "Mommy, you are back. Why have you been out for so long?" Chris and Diane ran into Emily's arms.

  "I miss you too," Emily said as she kissed Chris and Diane on their faces.

  "Mommy, were you caught in the rain?" Chris noticed that Emily's hair was still dripping with water.

  "Mommy, why didn't you wait for the rain to stop?" Diane asked.

  Emily didn't want to tell Chris and Diane about her trouble. She wanted them to grow up unburdened.

  "It was raining, so I was worried that you might be afraid," Emily said gently.

  "I'm not afraid," Diane replied softly.

  Chris held Emily's hand and pulled her into the bathroom.

  "Mommy, you should take a hot shower. Here is the towel," said Chris.

  He did not know what had happened to her today, but he could tell that she was in a bad mood.

  He wanted to take good care of his mom and Diane.

  When Emily came out of the shower, she saw a glass of hot milk on the table. She knew it must be Chris.

  "Mommy, the milk is for you." Chris took the cup to her.

  Emily was happy whenever she saw Chris and Diane. She was no longer upset.

  "Thanks. My sweet boy." She kissed Chris on the forehead.

  "And me," Diane said in a hurry.

  "That's right." Emily also kissed Diane.

  At that moment, she was very grateful to the man from back then. At least, he gave her two little angels.

  "Mommy, I've picked a company for Diane. They make children's clothing and the quality is good, and so is their offer." Chris brought over a file.

  Chris was only four years old, but he was a genius. So, he had no problem reading the contract.

  "I think Chris made a good choice for me," Diane said.

  "I'm sorry, sweeties. I should be the one doing this." Emily felt bad.

  Diane was a child star, so she often received offers from advertising companies. Emily would select suitable companies for Diane.

  "Don't say that, Mommy. We are happy that we can help."

  Emily hugged Chris and Diane, then he picked up the file and started reading it.

  Emily checked through the file carefully and she didn't have any terms to add.

  "I don't see any problems with it. I think it's good too. I'm proud of you," Emily said gently as she held Chris and Diane.

  "Great! Shall we go to the company and sign the contract tomorrow?" Diane said excitedly.

  "Sure. Now, go to sleep," Emily said as she tucked Chris and Diane in.

  "Good night, Mommy."

     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

      "Derek, Rose is right. You hired me. I'm in no position to give opinions on your family issues. I protected Aaron and Ian out of duty." Emily did not want to argue with Derek anymore since he would not believe anything she said.  "Time is up. I need to go home now. Bye, Derek. Say goodbye to Aaron and Ian for me," Emily left in a hurry because she did not want to spend another minute with this arrogant man.  Derek didn't stop Emily. As a father, he was only trying to protect Aaron and Ian.  When Derek returned to the room, Aaron and Ian turned their heads away and didn't want to look at him.  They were not happy with Derek because he misunderstood Emily.  Derek thought, 'Raising children is a lot harder than running a company.'  He picked up the boys and put them on the bed. Derek lay next to them.  He kissed Aaron and Ian on the head. "I know you don't like Rose and she isn't a good mother, but..."  "But she is our mother. Is that what you are going to say?" Ian whispered.

     "Stop, Emily. Do you want to kill me?" Rose uttered a few words.  "Tell them to stop. Don't follow us anymore." Emily loosened her grip on Rose's neck.  Rose was terrified. She was afraid that Emily would strangle her.  "Stop! All of you, stop." Rose was very scared, tears streamed from her eyes.  The bodyguards looked at each other. They halted their steps but did not leave.  Emily hated Rose so much that she wanted her dead. But Emily had Chris and Diane, so she wouldn't do it and was only threatening her.  Emily saw a dried riverbed beside the cemetery and dragged Rose toward it.  "Rose, you don't think I'll kill you, right? You have brought me here to see the graves of my children, and yet you have ambushed me with these men. I know you are trying to kill me. I'm acting in self-defense. What do you think the jury will say?" Emily shouted so everyone could hear her.  The bodyguards didn't dare to get close. Emily brought Rose to the side of the riverbed.  "Rose, drop dead

    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.
