Suddenly, Lillian had a thought and quickly called Yardley.

"Did you hide my belongings? What gives you the right to do this? Why are you taking my belongings?" Lillian accused Yardley over the phone, showing no consideration for any familial ties.

"If I hadn't taken your belongings, would your next step be to return to Eldoria and disrupt my life?" Yardley's voice remained calm.

"You ungrateful son! Just wait and see!"

Lillian knew she couldn't expect anything from Yardley, so she had to place all her hopes on others.

She knew that if she really wanted to return to Eldoria, there were other ways besides going through the proper procedures.

She could directly report her belongings as lost. However, the procedures overseas were more complicated and involved additional steps.

Holding some money, Lillian squatted at the embassy's entrance, hoping someone would come to her aid.

She waited for a whole morning, but the embassy remained closed.

At that moment, a man approach

    Alone in the room, Willow sat surrounded by scattered debris—a laptop and various discarded items that now seemed like mere trash. As the impending checkout time loomed, she hastily gathered her belongings and made her way down to the front desk. The money she had left was dwindling. Originally, she had been expecting some support from Lillian, but there had been no response from her. "I'd like to check out," Willow said, her face concealed behind a tightly wrapped mask. No one could discern her identity. Luckily, the hotel didn't require identification card registration. Otherwise, she would have been exposed. "Hello, you need to pay three thousand dollars," the receptionist said, presenting all the bills in front of her. During a recent inspection by the cleaning staff, they discovered damage to the room door and broken items. Thus, all the expenses had been compiled. Willow checked her bank balance and realized it fell short. A few days ago, in a fit of frustration, s

    Lillian seemed to have disappeared without a trace. Even the house she had previously occupied was now completely empty. Now, devoid of any support, Willow found herself penniless and uncertain of her next move. After spending a night in the park, she unconsciously ended up in front of Celia's company. Faced with desperation, she had no option but to turn to Celia for help, hoping for a lifeline. Perhaps there was still a glimmer of hope for her to overcome this situation. Otherwise, she feared she wouldn't stand a chance at survival. At the entrance of the building, the security guard obstructed her path. "Beggar, go somewhere else." His words pierced Willow's heart. "Take a good look at who I am. I need to see Celia," Willow said, removing her mask and staring coldly at the security guard. "Wait here, and I'll inform her," the security guard replied. While many within the company recognized Willow, their opinions of her were far from favorable. Meanwhile, Celia an

    Willow took a moment to think. She recalled the negative comments people were making about her. "Do you guys not care about those rumors going around about me?"The person in charge shook his head and said, "What streamer wouldn't want a bit of buzz? Sometimes you need some excitement to make it big in the entertainment world."You don't even have to do much, and suddenly everyone's talking about you. It's like a dream come true for all the streamers."Even though it was an embarrassing situation, his words somehow made it feel like a turning point, adding a bit of glamor to the whole thing."I'm worried this might not be good for your company, considering the challenges I know I'll have to deal with," Willow expressed her concerns.She was fully aware of her situation. She was hesitant to confront more accusations, especially since she already felt trapped.The person in charge then provided a detailed explanation, saying, "Let's review our contract first. Our main income comes

Comments poured in as everyone wanted to learn about Willow's connection with Yardley.To keep the audience interested, Willow decided to be a bit mysterious. "I'll spill the beans once we hit 100 thousand heart icons."The strategy worked like magic, and viewers quickly boosted her heart icon count to half a million.The live stream also broke a company record, attracting an extra 70 thousand viewers. The assistant brought in the boss, Miguel Hartman, and other streamers to witness Willow's performance."I know you've been itching to hear my story, and let me tell you, it hasn't been a smooth ride to be here with all of you. "Yardley and I were childhood sweethearts, but due to some small incidents, our families drifted apart," Willow said, adding a touch of drama to her storytelling.Her emotions intensifie

    "Go figure out how to fix this," Miguel commanded before storming off.Heading downstairs, he noticed a person in a suit in the lobby."Mr. Hartman, someone's looking for you," an employee informed him.It was Anthony. He had heard the online rumors but hadn't taken any action because he was curious about Celia's plans.Miguel asked bluntly, "Who are you? Do I know you?"Anthony motioned for him to sit. "You got both of those letters, right? I don't think I need to say much more."Miguel finally understood that Celia was determined to take down Willow at any cost, and anyone supporting Willow would be going against her."Our company has nothing to do with Celia. Even if our streamer made some inappropriate remarks, it's just an online platform," Miguel said firmly.Anthony sneered in response. "You're sticking to your story. Alright, I've told you what I had to say. By the way, I'm Anthony."Even though Anthony was a skilled hacker, he admired Celia's skills and had chosen to

    Viwers on Willow's live stream buzzed with excitement. Willow decided to respond to the comment by using a tool to take off the prosthetic on her nose.She squeezed her real nose and declared, "Look, this is the real me."But the viewers wanted more. They began to throw in some wild requests. The crowd kept growing. Fueled by the positive vibe, Willow started taking off other fake parts.Taking off these prosthetics without professional help was a risky business. Willow felt a bit dizzy after messing with her nose, and pulling stuff out of her mouth sent pain shooting through her body.Opening her mouth turned into a real challenge. Even though she felt a bit uncomfortable, she continued peeling off the prosthetics one by one.She even made sure to chat with her viewers all the while, keeping the interaction lively. Yet, the live stream was flooded with fans looking for a laugh."Is this her real look? No wonder she got plastic surgery.""Seriously, she's nowhere near as attra

Yet, the two of them were still at odds. Although Clarissa was still in the hospital, he couldn't turn his back on Nicol.He went to the hospital to visit Clarissa and left when he noticed Darlene next to her.He drove to Yandell residence and mustered up the courage to knock on the door, even though he was well aware that he wasn't welcome there."Why are you here again?

    Norman's footsteps faded into the distance, punctuated by the sound of a closing door.Clarissa settled back into her seat in the living room and smiled smugly."So that silly boy went off in search of Nicole and came up empty-handed," she drawled. It dawned on Clarissa that Nicole was no longer clinging onto Norman because she must have felt like she had been dumped and was thus heartbroken.Even though it was somewhat pitiful for a pregnant woman to be in this situation, Clarissa did not feel the slightest bit of guilt. On the contrary, she hoped that Nicole would vanish from their lives for good and that Norman would eventually give up on her. She did not care for Nicole's unborn child either.After all, Darlene was young, beautiful, and healthy. She would have no problem giving birth to a second or third child in the future. Darlene pretended to be worried when she noticed Clarissa was lost in thought. "Mrs. Lorimer, Normie looks so listless. Maybe I should go upstairs an

"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?"

    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?"
