The driver was startled by Nicole's condition. He hurriedly carried Nicole into the car and said anxiously, "Hold on, Ms. Yandell. I'll take you to the hospital right away!"

Pain lanced through her abdomen as she lay in the back seat. Sweat beaded on her forehead.

Her thoughts raced as she wondered what was wrong with her.

She was already six months along in her pregnancy; she shouldn't be experiencing such discomfort. But why was her stomach hurting so much?

Her heart was pounding as she thought about that.

Nicole took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

The driver rushed Nicole to the hospital. He would be in big trouble if something went wrong with Nicole while she was under his care.

In light of this, he hurriedly called Clarissa.

Clarissa was sound asleep when she was startled awake by the ringing of her phone.

"Who is it? Why are you calling me in the middle of the night?" she grumbled as she answered the phone, clearly annoyed.

The driver's anxious voice ca

    Celia glanced at her wristwatch and said coldly as she addressed the department managers in front of her, "This quarter's report must be submitted to me by the end of this Friday at the latest."Celia concluded the meeting after the managers nodded in agreement."Ms. Stanton, Mr. Heath has sent the customized script to your email." Her assistant organized the documents in her hand and followed Celia."That was fast." Celia was a little surprised, considering she had only asked the company to contact the scriptwriter a few days ago. Yet, the script was already done."Mr. Heath said he already had a general outline for the script. He completed the writing after reviewing your requirements," her assistant said with a nod and a smile.Celia smiled when she heard that. Ezra Heath was a well-known editor in the industry, who produced numerous high-quality pieces. Celia was confident in the script's quality because she had worked with him on several dramas.Her phone rang just as she re

    Meanwhile, at the Xanders residence, Willow sneered when she looked at the news on the Internet."Custom script, huh? Celia sure knows how to make a splash." Willow narrowed her eyes slightly; it was clear as day that Starlight Entertainment was investing resources to give Morgan more exposure.Willow considered the situation for a moment. Celia was a formidable opponent, but her artists weren't. It would be a devastating blow to Starlight Entertainment if she exposed Morgan's scandal during the opening ceremony. Celia would undoubtedly be affected as well.Willow could already imagine the look on Celia's face. She pursed her lips and sent a message to a number."Let's meet tomorrow at 3:00 pm …"Willow waited at the agreed-upon cafe the next day. It wasn't long before a man took a seat in front of her. The man removed his sunglasses; it was Michael, who had been sued for harassing Morgan in the past."What did you mean by what you said yesterday?" Michael looked at Willow sk

    "What's wrong?" Richard asked with concern when he noticed Morgan's expression. He also looked around to make sure there were no paparazzi following them."It's nothing, just a habit of mine." Morgan chuckled.But she couldn't shake the feeling that she was being followed. Morgan pursed her lips and thought, "Maybe I'm just too nervous."After all, the security here was tight. Plus, it was a members-only place. Paparazzi shouldn't be able to get in.Mogan was too hungry to dwell on these thoughts; she figured that she could just explain herself if she were exposed. After all, nothing was going on between her and Richard, so there wouldn't be any misunderstandings.Morgan was immediately drawn to the interior decor when she walked into the restaurant. No wonder it was so well-reviewed. The atmosphere was really welcoming.The waiter led the pair to their private room, which had a large wall that was connected to an aquarium, allowing the beautiful fish to swim freely.The other

    What was going on?Her heart leaped into her throat. The boat overturned before she could react.Richard instinctively reached out to grab Morgan, but it was too late.Morgan fell into the lake, and he followed suit.The water in the lake was very cold on a cool autumn night. That piercing chill and fear swept through Morgan.Morgan didn't know how to swim!"Help … Help me …" she cried out, but the lake soon engulfed her."Morgan!" Morgan heard Richard's anxious voice as she passed out.Morgan found herself tied up to a bed when she awoke.She looked around the unfamiliar surroundings and had a bad feeling. Her body started trembling uncontrollably. All she could remember was being on the boat with Richard. Morgan had no recollection of what happened after she fell into the lake. Why had things turned out this way?Was she kidnapped? Or was it something else?Her fear grew as she thought about her situation. Morgan dared not scream; all she could do was struggle frantica

    The tension was high on Celia's side, and it wasn't any better on Morgan's side.Morgan shrank back on the bed warily as she watched Michael approach her. "Hold on. I want to take a shower. I'm soaked, and I don't feel comfortable," she said as she tried to buy some time.She awkwardly tugged at the corner of her lips; she had been brought here after passing out from falling into the lake. Her clothes clung to her body and made her feel extremely uncomfortable.Michael was no fool. He could tell Morgan was purposefully stalling for time. Hence, he lost his patience, tore off his clothes, and pounced on her.Morgan was horrified. However, she remembered there were guards outside, so she bit her lip to suppress her scream, grabbed the lamp from the bedside, and smashed his head.Michael fell to the ground with a dull thud.She didn't dare to hesitate when she noticed that. She got up and ran to the window. Cold air rushed in when she opened it, causing her body to shiver instinct

    Celia curled her lips in disgust when she heard that. "Who does he think he is?" she mumbled.Celia raised her head, nestled into Yardley's arms, and gently nuzzled him a few times.However, his expression did not soften much; he looked at the villa with disgust.Celia inquired about Morgan's condition and breathed a sigh of relief when she learned that Morgan only had some minor injuries. Celia intentionally gave Morgan some time off so that she could get some rest; she also instructed Morgan's manager to look after her.It was already late at night when the couple returned home after resolving Morgan's issue."That bastard! I shouldn't have let him get away with it so easily the last time."Celia's expression darkened when she thought that nothing would've happened if she had locked Michael up in prison for three to five years the last time. Celia was also a little scared at the same time as she hadn't expected a useless rich boy to be able to kidnap Morgan. Could there b

    Celia arrived at the hotel entrance as promised the next day.Josef emerged from the hotel lobby with a pep in his step. It was obvious that he had chosen his outfit carefully. He beamed when he spotted Celia. "You're so punctual, Celia! Where are we going today?"Celia smiled wryly and lowered her hand, which was shading her eyes. "I'm taking you to our most famous tree tunnel. Let's go; the scenery is beautiful. We can also take the cable car if you're up for it."He nodded and seemed enthusiastic throughout the journey. He struck up numerous conversations with Celia, but she only responded politely.It was already 11:00 am by the time the pair rode the cable car through the forest.Josef pulled out two sandwiches from his backpack and handed one to Celia before asking, "Is there a shortcut around here? I want to go on an adventure! It would be thrilling to take a shortcut."Celia looked at him skeptically. "Shortcut? Why would you want to take a shortcut? Wouldn't it be better

    Even though Celia heard Josef's question, she was in no mood to answer. Celia turned around and stamped her foot. Then, she quickly grabbed his arm and continued walking forward.However, it started pouring in no time. It was raining cats and dogs two or three minutes after the thunder. The rain pelted them.Josef inhaled sharply. He was dressed lightly because he had checked the weather forecast before he picked out his outfit. It was supposed to be sunny all day that day.The raindrops pattered against her eyelashes and face, and the sensation of water droplets entering her eyes was unpleasant. Her vision blurred, and she instinctively raised her hand to wipe the water off her face. Then, she spotted a cave in front of them.The wind was howling, and the rain was pouring; all she could do was shout to the man beside her, "Hang in there, Josef! There's a cave up ahead where we can take shelter from the rain."He nodded. The pair struggled through the pouring rain toward the cav

    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?" Morgan asked. The housekeepers promptly briefed

    Sophie had failed to get Celia's forgiveness. So, she had no choice but to pin all her hopes on Morgan.She took all the supplements to Morgan's apartment. Richard was staying there with her.Ever since the incident with Celia, Sophie's relationship with Richard had become very strained. They barely talked to one another.Sophie knocked on the door for a long time, but no one came out.She could only wait outside. After two hours, she finally saw Morgan and Richard. They came into view, laughing and holding each other's hands.This scene pained Sophie deeply."What are you doing here?" Morgan's cheerful expression faltered the moment she saw Sophie.Sophie could only put on a smile and say, "I brought all these for you. I was wrong to come between your relationship with my son."Richard glanced at the items on the ground. He could tell from a glance that they were meant for postpartum care and immediately understood why Sophie was there."Mom, you should be honest. You got the

    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.
