Lillian bore a solemn expression as she looked at Angelica's face. She detested this woman even more than she hated Celia.

Did this bar singer think she could make a silk purse out of a sow's ear and become part of the Hughes family? How preposterous!

"Yardley, I'll never agree to this." Lillian tried her best to keep her cool when facing Yardley, but her tone was stern.

Angelica looked at Lillian timidly, as if she were mustering the courage to speak. "Madam Lillian, I know you won't accept me. B-But I really love Yards, and we're going to have our engagement ceremony tomorrow. Could you please give us your blessing?"

"Blessing? You've seriously got some nerve to say something like that!" Quinn was quick-tempered as it was, and Angelica's hypocritical demeanor enraged her to the point where she forgot her manners.

Yardley calmly pulled Angelica behind him, looked straight at Lillian, and said, "Candy and I are in love. Regardless of whether you agree or not, she will be my wife.

    Angelica couldn't help but feel unhappy when she heard that, and it showed on her face.Recently, she had been attempting to get Yardley to sleep with her, but he had rejected her so many times, citing work, being busy, and other excuses.After a while, she couldn't help but feel insecure.Angelica pouted as she looked up at Yardley, but she couldn't argue with him because his words made sense."Moreover, we're getting engaged tomorrow …" Her concerns and anger vanished into thin air as soon as his words reverberated in her head.After all, she would soon be rightfully Mrs. Hughes, so sex could wait.In light of this, she nodded obediently. However, she was still a little reluctant to leave. Angelica turned around to look at Yardley and said slowly, "Then, I'll go back to my room. You should also get some rest, Yards.""Alright." Yardley nodded. He let out a sigh of relief when the door to his room was closed. He pinched the bridge of his nose, and his brows gradually relaxed.

    "That's enough. It's just banter between friends. It's no big deal." Angelica smiled and hastily defused the situation.Her engagement ceremony with Yardley, which was about to take place, had been on the news several times. Hence, Angelica was highly sought after by various media outlets, to the point where reporters had followed her to the salon's door. The reporters impatiently pushed the door open and started interviewing her as soon as she was all dolled up."Good day, Ms. Martinez. I'm a reporter from Xcellence Entertainment. I have a few questions. When do you and Mr. Hughes plan to hold your wedding after your engagement ceremony today? "There were rumors that you used to work as a bar singer. Would your mentality change after you become Mrs. Hughes?"The reporter clearly came prepared and was looking to improve their KPIs.

    Timothy was chatting with a few friends when he received a call from Quinn. He immediately perked up and asked casually, "What's up, Quinny?"Quinn had no intention of dealing with him then. Her mind was occupied with thoughts on how she could give Angelica a taste of her own medicine. Hence, she cut to the chase and demanded, "I want you to do something for me. Kidnap Angelica Martinez. You should know who she is, right?"He was momentarily stunned before responding, "Of course, I know who she is. How could I not? Isn't she the one who's about to get engaged to your cousin? It's been all over the news lately.""But …" He paused for a moment.He had always had feelings for Quinn and was willing to go above and beyond for her. It had been the same with the Sabrina incident. However, he was dissatisfied with himself. He felt he was putting Quinn on a pedestal and wasn't treating himself with respect.Quinn's attitude was also driving him nuts. Just when he thought his efforts wo

    However, nothing happened.Quinn stopped right in front of Angelica, seemingly satisfied with her expression. She had only said those words to scare this woman, who clearly didn't know her place.Quinn had an even better idea. She would ruin Angelica's life instead of her face.Angelica closed her eyes tightly, but she didn't feel any pain. Then, Quinn's voice came from above her head."Are you scared? You should've seen this coming. Oh … right, aren't you getting married to Yardley?" Quinn's voice was gentle. Angelica had no idea what she was thinking. She opened her eyes with trepidation, only to see Quinn's smiling face.The smile on Quinn's face widened when she noticed Angelica's expression. Then, she raised her hands, clapped them twice, and called out, "Come on out, guys!"Angelica had no idea what she was up to. She instinctively looked in that direction and noticed four or five hoodlums emerging from behind the pillars. The guys walked up to Quinn, but their focus re

    "Yards, you're finally here. I-I was so scared."Angelica was genuinely terrified. She gripped Yardley's sleeve and cried her heart out.Yardley's eyes darkened. He hesitated for a moment before gently patting her back and coaxing, "Don't worry, everything's alright now. You're okay."Quinn dared not move a muscle as she stood at the side. She couldn't even turn her phone off. Jealousy and resentment swirled in her eyes as she watched Yardley console Angelica. She couldn't fathom why he would fall for a woman who didn't measure up.Angelica sobbed for a while before she calmed down. Then, she raised her head slightly, her eyes red with hatred as she stared at Quinn. "It was her, Yards! She's the one who had me kidnapped. S-She said I wouldn't be able to marry you as long as she ruined me." As she spoke, she started crying again.Quinn paled, and she glared at Angelica menacingly. However, she dared not act rashly while Yardley was there.Yardley's expression became noticeab

    "The ceremony was about to start. Why hadn't Yardley shown up yet?Angelica's brows were slightly knitted as she felt a little uneasy, but she quickly suppressed it. "No. He even came to save me today. He wouldn't lie to me," she thought. "Ms. Martinez?" A soft voice urged her from the side.Angelica snapped back to reality and had no choice but to turn and follow the woman beside her onto the stage.She inadvertently turned her head while walking and spotted an all-too-familiar figure in the crowd—Chandler.Her heart skipped a beat, and she unconsciously clenched her fists.It was her and Yardley's engagement ceremony that day. Even though she had initially approached Yardley on Chandler's orders, she had gone to great lengths to get to this day. Would Chandler's appearance derail her plans?Angelica stared at him for a few seconds, but Chandler didn't seem to notice her at all. He continued to exchange pleasantries with others.

It would be an interesting show.Celia walked over with ease. Her composed demeanor made everyone hold their breath. They dared not speak. The air of confidence she exuded was unimaginable to Angelica.For some reason, Angelica felt a hint of panic."Celia, what are you doing here?"Celia didn't speak and stared straight at Angelica. The latter nervously swallowed, and her gaze flitted around unconsciously as she became increasingly flustered.

How did Celia know?But she quickly snapped back to her senses and glared at Celia in anger. At that moment, Angelica could no longer care about maintaining her image. She could even resort to killing Celia on the spot."W-What nonsense are you talking about? If you claim that these scars on my back aren't from falling off a cliff, then provide evidence. "If you can't, then you're making false accusations! You're falsely accusing me!"That was all Angelica was capable of saying. There was even a hint of resoluteness and concealed confidence in her eyes after she said that.She was sure that Celia couldn't produce any evidence.As long as she could prove that she was Candy, Yardley wouldn't leave her, ever!"If I had no evidence, would I have come here today?"Celia looked down at Angelica, making the latter's heart skip a beat.

    In fact, Yardley didn't tell anyone. … Meanwhile, Morgan stumbled upon a surprising find. She discovered two healthy, month-old babies at the orphanage. "Director, is it true that no one wants such young babies?" Morgan felt a bit emotional. How could people be so heartless as to abandon their own babies? The director of the orphanage let out a deep sigh. "You don't know the whole story. Our janitor found these babies at the orphanage's entrance. Someone left them there and disappeared. "We've been taking care of them for about half a month now, and their condition has improved significantly." Looking at the adorable babies, Morgan couldn't shake the feeling that they belonged to Celia. "I'm here on behalf of Yardley Hughes else to adopt these children, but..." Morgan expressed her concerns. Morgan anticipated the orphanage director's refusal. To her surprise, he actually agreed. "The opportunity for these two babies to have some good days is preferable to nothing.

    "Let's go, Celia. We shouldn't disturb the twins' rest," said Yardley as he supported Celia and got ready to leave. Celia waved her hand and stood in front of the incubator. Even with the glass barrier, she could still discern the condition of her children. She reached out to touch them, as if her touch could make them feel her presence. She resolved to take her children home safely. Celia lingered for a while before finally leaving the hospital. Once they were home, Celia locked herself in her room, disregarding any attempts anyone made to talk to her. Yardley headed to the company to attend to some matters, while the housekeepers remained at home. Meanwhile, Morgan couldn't shake her concern for Celia, so she came to visit her. Upon entering, she heard the housekeepers upstairs calling out, "Mrs. Hughes, are you feeling better? Come out and have some soup!" However, there was no response from inside. "What's going on?"

They came into view, laughing and holding each other's hands.This scene pained Sophie deeply."What are you doing here?"

    Otto didn't back down and insisted on his right to see his grandchildren. However, Yardley paid him no mind. He shook his head and said, "Celia needs rest. Please come back another day."The next second, he instructed the housekeepers to close the door and left Otto standing outside. Otto stomped his walking cane on the ground in frustration but had no choice but to leave.As Yardley made his way back inside the villa, he thought of another troubling matter.Although they had brought their children home, the twins had been weak because they had been born prematurely. They had appointed a family doctor to treat the twins but hadn't seen much improvement in their health. Yardley sanitized himself before he went into the nursery. He felt pained when he heard the twins' weak breaths."Mr. Hughes." The family doctor spoke up with a frown, indicating that the situation was far from ideal."The baby girl has been slowly recovering, but the boy remains very weak. I don't think the n

    "Don't worry. She's fine. She's just a bit weak at the moment."Remembering Yardley's words outside the ward, the doctor felt a wave of nervousness. He could tell that Yardley and Celia weren't ordinary people judging by their attire. They were certainly not ones to be trifled with."Did you say that we had twins?" Yardley turned to ask the nurse after learning that Celia was alright."Yes, sir." The nurse chuckled inwardly. She found that, despite Yardley's intimidating appearance, he was a very devoted husband.Soon, Celia was moved out of the operating room and into a VIP ward.Yardley gently wiped the sweat from Celia's face again. He took in her pale complexion; it was a sign of how much she had suffered."How's Celia?"Sounds of hurried footsteps came from outside. Ashley and the others had come over. Yardley turned and signaled them to leave.Celia had just given birth, so she needed a quiet environment to rest. Having too many visitors might affect her recovery.Ever

    "How could you hit me because of her? I'm the mother of your child!" Sophie shrieked.She had never suffered such humiliation. She had been showered with love from a young age and wasn't accustomed to such harsh treatment. So, she became agitated and emotional."Isn't it all because of you that things turned out this way? Would such a thing have happened to our company? Would Richard suddenly want to break all ties with us? It's all because of your reckless behavior!" Chester vented years of suppressed grievances and dissatisfaction as if it would make him feel better.Celia watched as Chester and Sophie argued fiercely. She stepped forward to stop them, especially since there were many people outside watching the spectacle."Stop fighting. This isn't the time or the place for arguments!"Sophie went at Chester and started hitting him. Celia tried to break up their fight, but Sophie pushed her. Celia took a few steps back at that. She didn't attempt to intervene anymore."It's

    "Mrs. Black, we'd intended to negotiate amicably with you and achieve a satisfactory outcome for both parties. "The decision to move out was mine, and I asked Celia to come over and help me out. If you're unwilling to be decent and compromise, then let's end things between our families here."Morgan felt relieved after expressing her thoughts. It was like a significant weight had been lifted off her shoulders. "What do you mean?" Richard panicked. Just when their relationship had slightly improved, the situation took a turn for the worse again."We're breaking up for good!"Morgan left after saying that. Jessica and Darby left with her, leaving the Blacks behind."This is all your doing! Look what you've done! How many times have I told you not to be so assertive and bossy? Why don't you ever consider my feelings?" Richard punched the couch angrily, his heart filled with bitterness.Sophie hadn't wanted things to turn out this way either, but she had been too angry and spoke

    "It's fine. You two can go if you have something else to attend to," Jessica said.Soon, Celia arrived at the Blacks' residence with Jessica and Darby.Sophie opened the door and was surprised to see Celia standing at the doorstep with Jessica and Darby. She couldn't understand what Celia was up to.Once they were inside, Celia didn't beat around the bush and stated her purpose directly. "I think you might be having some misunderstandings about Morgan."Sophie smiled without saying anything."Don't you think you're interfering too much in Morgan's personal life?" Celia questioned.Upon hearing this, Sophie realized why they were there. Having discussed the issue with Chester, Sophie had finally agreed not to interfere in Richard's and Morgan's lives.So, she didn't object to Celia's words. She even agreed with Celia, much to the latter's surprise.Under normal circumstances, Sophie would have argued with her. Why was she being so agreeable this time?"How about you sign a writ

    After saying that, Celia hung up.On the other end, Quinn felt very displeased. After all, it was her party, and she had personally called Celia to invite her. Quinn felt that Celia had snubbed her by refusing to attend.Quinn thought about it for a moment. If Celia didn't come, Yardley probably wouldn't either. If both of them didn't show up, it would be embarrassing for Quinn.So, she decided to go and find Celia.…Morgan was taking refuge at Celia's place, so she answered the door when Quinn came over."I'm here to see Celia."Celia had instructed Morgan to turn away anyone she didn't recognize, no matter who it was.
