King Lopez had long known that he was considered a discarded son by the Quinn family, so he had prepared to pack up and run away early on. He had originally wanted to take Amy with him, but she was a public figure and had recently been embroiled in scandals, losing the support of the Montgomery family. King felt that taking her would only increase the trouble of running away, so in the end, he only took his son and money to escape.But what he never expected was that as soon as the plane landed in France, he was arrested at the airport on suspicion of "intentional homicide." King's legs went weak when he heard this. He wanted to argue, but the police who came to arrest him for deportation were French men, and he only knew a few words of French. He finally managed to choke out a request for a lawyer, but the police sneered, "A lawyer? Go back to your country and find one slowly. We're only responsible for deporting you!" And then they ignored him.King's escape route was completely
Jenna had mentally prepared herself for this, but hearing it still took her breath away. After a moment, she asked, "So, on the day when Kai had stomach pains, it wasn't real, but he guessed that his mother had an accident?""Yes," came the reply.Jenna took a deep breath and suddenly felt the urge to slap herself. Even Kai had noticed that something was wrong, but she hadn't realized anything!"I'm going to buy a ticket to go back to Fairfield right now."Leo tried to comfort her, "Miss Jenna, there’s no need to be in such a hurry. Although Lila hasn’t woken up yet, she's not in any danger, and her body is slowly recovering in other ways."But how could Jenna not be in a hurry?Moreover, she had already finished filming her part in the drama, so there was no issue of breach of contract. She hung up the phone and immediately booked the next available flight, taking Kaia and Amelia with her straight to the airport.In the hospital room, Leo hung up the phone and looked at Ella, whos
Ella was a bit flustered.Just as she was about to speak, there was a knock on the door again. She instinctively brightened up and asked, "Is it my dad?"However, it was a five or six-year-old boy who came in, looking very delicate, with a hint of Ella's shadow in his eyebrows and eyes.Ella remembered what Leo had just said, and a bad premonition suddenly arose in her mind. Sure enough, the next second, the little boy rushed toward her directly and exclaimed, "Mom, you finally woke up!"Ella: "...!"So, she really transmigrated… No, according to Leo's words, she really lost her memory?Lost seven whole years of memory from the age of twenty-one to twenty-eight?The twenty-one-year-old Ella was really unable to accept the reality that she had such a big child. She let Kai hold her stiff body, her hands so nervous that she didn't know where to put them."Mom, you slept for so long... so long that even Kaia felt something was wrong. That girl should have come back in the afternoon..."
Before Leo could think about it, suddenly, there was a crisp sound from the side.Smash!His heart dropped. That was the unmistakable sound of glass shattering.Leo panicked and quickly turned to look at Ella, only to see Ella’s face pale, her hands covering her face, her voice trembling: "This is not me... Leo, this is not my face!"It was only then that Leo realized that Ella wanted to drink water just now but ended up seeing her current face reflected in the water glass.In this way, even if he wanted to hide it, he couldn’t hide it anymore.“Ella, listen—”“Don’t ‘Ella, listen’ me! What’s going on?!” she shot back, her voice trembling but demanding answers.Leo clenched his fists, his jaw tightening. This wasn’t how he wanted her to find out. But there was no avoiding it now.“Ella,” he said carefully, “calm down. This is you. Your face... it’s just... uh... been adjusted. Minor adjustments.”Ella blinked at him, utterly unconvinced. Her lips quivered as she bit out, “Leo, I may h
“What?”“What did you just say about me suspecting Lucas before? Has everything been cleared up now? Did he marry me for some ulterior motive?”Leo’s hand, hanging by his side, unconsciously clenched.Although Ella had lost her memory, why did she still keep coming back to this name…“Leo? What’s wrong? Is there something difficult?”Leo took a deep breath. “We did suspect him before, but now, based on the evidence we have and his actions, he doesn’t seem to have been involved in the fire six years ago.”Ella listened, still confused.She just felt that Leo wouldn’t lie to her, so she nodded thoughtfully. Then she asked, “What about the nurse who said that if it weren’t for Lucas protecting me during the explosion, was it him?”“Yes.”“How is he now?”“He’s in worse condition than you. He hasn’t woken up yet.” Leo paused. “If you want to see him, I’ll take you to see him when you’re feeling better and can move around.”Ella thought for a moment and nodded. “Thank you, Leo. Even though
Leo sighed, his voice tinged with helplessness and pity.“Because I think if your mother hadn’t lost her memory, she wouldn’t want to have much to do with Lucas again. Even though this incident proves that he didn’t participate in the plot to harm your mother, he still had an affair with Amy while your mother was pregnant with you, which broke your mother’s heart.”Kai remained silent, his head bowed. After a while, he suddenly looked up and asked, “Uncle Leo, did he really have an affair?”Leo was taken aback and almost blurted out, “Of course!” He paused and continued, “Your mother had an accident back then because she found out about his affair and child outside, and had a fight with him. She left to go to your grandfather’s medicine factory in a fit of anger and happened to run into the fire.”Kai nodded thoughtfully.Leo thought Kai had finally accepted his explanation and was about to reach out to pat his head to comfort him. Unexpectedly, Kai spoke again.“However, Uncle Leo, c
Ella subconsciously wanted to refuse.After all, she had lost seven years of memories and didn’t want the little girl to know immediately. After all, the little girl cried so easily. If she knew that Ella had forgotten her, she might cry until the pyramid of Gaza collapsed.But before she could refuse, the little girl had already handed her the phone. "Godmother! Mommy woke up! Do you want to talk to her?""She woke up? That’s great!""Your mommy must have known that Kaia was particularly worried about her and didn’t want Kaia to be sad, so she woke up quickly, right?"It had to be said that Jenna had some talent in taking care of children. With just two or three sentences, she had the little crybaby laughing.Ella had just been worried that she wouldn’t remember the godmother Kaia had mentioned, but now that she heard Jenna’s voice, she breathed a sigh of relief."Lila...my dear, you woke up?"Jenna’s voice was a bit steadier than Ella remembered, but the concern in her words remai
With this in mind, Jenna no longer questioned Leo’s decision.“I understand what you mean, Dr. Leo. Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it,” Jenna said.Leo’s voice was gentle with a smile, “Thank you, Miss Jenna.”After hanging up the phone, Jenna got back in the car.The car started again and headed towards the hospital, but unfortunately, they ran into rush-hour traffic. What should have been a one-hour journey ended up taking two hours.Jenna had been busy filming and taking care of Kaia during her time in the United States. She hardly had any rest, and her body was exhausted. She was only holding on because she was looking forward to seeing Ella.But this traffic jam made her feel even more tired, and even her strong anticipation couldn’t keep her awake.Just as she was dozing off, Amelia suddenly said, “The situation with Amy being the third party has been reversed?”When Jenna heard the name Amy, she woke up with a start and turned to ask Amelia, “Amy? What situation has been rev
The school agreed to her request, but what surprised Ella was that she was transferred to the School of Business.Ella was originally worried about running into Lucas in the same school. However, when she arrived at the school, she found out that Lucas had already started interning at a company. Even if she was his junior, she wouldn't have seen him much even if they were in the same class for a semester.By the time Ella finished her sophomore year, he had already graduated. The two of them, who had no contact in the first place, never met again. Ella was busy catching up on her first-year coursework and had no time to think about the boy who had appeared in her life and disrupted her life.She never imagined that he would become her husband in the future." Leo and Jenna both said that you don't like me. Leo may have ulterior motives, but Jenna wouldn't lie to me.""If you've never liked me, why did you risk your life to save me?""To repay the favor you did for me back then, whe
"Of course," said Jenna as she closed the door behind her.The hospital room fell silent once again, with only the sound of Ella slowly wheeling her chair towards the bed.She stopped beside the bed, looking at the man lying there with closed eyes, as if forever asleep but still handsome enough to not seem real. The thorn in her heart had finally turned into a knife, twisting and hurting her repeatedly."Lucas..." she softly reached out her hand and gently stroked his face. "Thank you for saving me.""I lost my memory, only remembering things before my twenty-first birthday. They told me you were my ex-husband, and that you didn't love me, so you cheated on me and had a child out of wedlock.""But I can't understand, if you really didn't love me, why did you save me?" Her voice was low, as if talking to herself.The man on the bed didn't respond at all."The nurse said the doctor has determined that you are brain dead, but I don't believe it. You're so smart, so strong, how could you
"Hmm?" Jenna was taken aback for a moment, then thought for a moment. "There seems to be such a saying, but it's not just the Quinn family. I heard that several domestic conglomerates are interested."When Jenna got off the plane that day, she bought some shares of Apex Corp on a whim, so she naturally paid attention to the news of the company these days. When Ella asked, she answered truthfully.But..."Why did you suddenly think of asking this?"Ella still lowered her head, as if thinking about something, and it took a while before she answered softly, "Nothing."Jenna felt that there seemed to be something more to her words.For a moment, Jenna felt as if a light flashed in her mind, but unfortunately, it was too fast for her to catch."Jenna."Jenna looked up. "Hmm?"Ella looked at her and whispered, "Can you take me to see him?"It took Jenna several seconds to understand that the "him" in Ella's mouth was Lucas. "Are you talking about Lucas? Why did you suddenly want to go see
There are two possibilities.The first is that someone has set their sights on Apex Corp and wants to take advantage of Lucas Montgomery's unconsciousness to swallow up the company. They deliberately create various crises to affect the stock price and then use a lower cost to acquire the company.The second possibility is that the Montgomery family themselves released a smokescreen to confuse the outside world and complete an internal reshuffle, achieving a "break to rebuild" effect.However, since there are only two people left in the Montgomery family, Leah Montgomery, who is not good at management and just wants to enjoy the fruits of their labor, and Lucas's Father, who has lost his equity and lacks the ability to act, Jenna believes that the second possibility can be ignored.So let's go back to the first possibility.Since someone is planning to acquire Apex Corp from behind the scenes, they will not really let the company go bankrupt. Instead, they will make a move when the st
