The audience had witnessed the entire competition and was proud of the three contestants. The trophies would be directly mailed to their respective homes.

Celia left right after the results were announced.

Just then, she got a call from Marion.

"I lost to you again, but I concede defeat wholeheartedly."

Hearing this, Celia smiled lightly. "You have improved dramatically recently. It seems you've been training hard. Did you want to beat me that much?"

It sounded as if Celia was challenging Marion.

Marion could not help but laugh over the phone. "I think most of the hackers' wish is to beat you."

Celia had not expected her reputation as a hacker to be so prominent. She considered her skills and methods to be routine, yet everyone seemed to praise her abilities.

At that moment, Anthony came in. Celia put the call on speaker.

"Congratulations, Marion. It was a pleasure to compete with you one-on-one. Now I know where my skills fall short compared to yours. I'll practice more from

    "You performed well this time," Celia commented.Yardley approached her as Sam and others left, giving them some privacy."You haven't answered me yet. Can you forgive me?" Yardley continued to press."If you sort out your family matter, I can forgive you at any time."Celia didn't really hold much resentment toward Yardley. She was just dissatisfied with his family members.Dealing with Otto alone was enough to wear her out, not to mention Lillian. But dealing with both of them was difficult. Having to face the two of them at the same time would wear her out completely.Moreover, her babies were due in a few months. She certainly didn't want them to grow up in such an environment."I've already sent Mom and Grandpa overseas. They shouldn't be able to cause any trouble when they're in a foreign country. "Besides, I've decided that beyond the basic living expenses, I won't give them anything else. Although Grandpa seems to spend freely and wields great power, he doesn't have th

    As Nicole had expected, Norman returned to the hospital the next morning. However, after the fiasco Clarissa had caused in the ward the day before, Norman realized that the Yandells now saw him as their main enemy. Consequently, he made a conscious effort to stay out of Nicole's sight. Silently standing in the corridor, Norman peered through a small crack in the door and saw Nicole lost in thought as she stared out the window. Her complexion had improved since yesterday, and she appeared to be in good spirits. Norman couldn't help but smile to himself foolishly. Nicole's improved health eased some of his worries. After lingering for a few minutes, Norman remained worried about his daughter. Therefore, he opted to take the elevator back upstairs. Through the glass window, he watched over his daughter in the incubator. "Sweetie, Mom and Dad haven't given you a name yet," Norman muttered to his daughter. With no indication of reconciliation between him and Nicole, bringi

    In the hospital ward, Nicole lay nestled on her pillow, tears streaming down her face. Standing beside her, Norman felt at a loss for how to comfort her. After all, he was experiencing the same sense of helplessness and anxiety. It was difficult for him to come to terms with the fact that his daughter's life was in jeopardy just days after her birth. "Nicole, you've got to stay strong." Norman repeated the words quietly in his mind before gently speaking aloud, "I believe Jenna will make it through." Despite Norman's efforts, Nicole continued to sob quietly. At this moment, words seemed insufficient to ease her pain. Nicole hadn't been able to see Jenna since the latter had been born. Jenna had spent eight months in her womb, only to arrive in the world and immediately face a life-threatening illness. It was a reality that Nicole couldn't bear. Wiping the tears from her cheeks, Nicole looked up at Norman with pleading eyes. "Could you help me get out of bed? I need to

    "Yes! My daughter is waiting for me." Norman didn't see the need to lie. He buttoned up his shirt and put on a casual jacket. Ignoring Clarissa's presence, he grabbed his keys and left. Frustrated by Norman's indifference, Clarissa shouted, "You better stop right there!" But Norman had already walked out the door, leaving Clarissa flustered as she hurried to catch up. They walked hastily, one after the other, until they reached the elevator door. When Norman stopped, Clarissa immediately stood beside him and began to reprimand him. "Do you realize that donating bone marrow isn't something to be taken lightly? It could have serious implications for your health. Aren't you concerned about getting sick and causing trouble for yourself in the future?" Clarissa was counting on Norman to take care of her in her old age, so his good health was particularly important to her. Norman remained unmoved as he stared at the elevator's control panel. He coldly responded, "It doesn't m

    Having settled things with Nicole, Gregory and Fantine quickly made their way to the church to seek solace and blessings. Although they knew that prayer served as a mere psychological comfort, people often turned to the divine for hope in times of desperation. Nicole's heart was filled with turmoil and unease. The mere thought of losing Jenna before she even met her was unbearable. Amidst her fervent prayers for Jenna, her mind swirled with chaos and uncertainty. After the doctor completed their routine rounds, Nicole decided to contact Celia, given her difficulty getting out of bed. With effort, she struggled to sit up and finally reached for her phone on the bedside table. Just as she found Celia's number in her contact list and prepared to dial, the sound of someone forcefully kicking open the door echoed through the ward. "Nicole! How dare you be so selfish and despicable? You're actually inciting my son to donate bone marrow! Do you want him to end up disabled?" Cl

    "Henry, help me get Clarissa out of here. She's being completely unreasonable!" Nicole exclaimed with frustration, hoping Clarissa would disappear before her eyes. Hearing Nicole call out to Henry, Clarissa finally realized he was the man in the photo. No wonder he looked so familiar! "You despicable couple!" Clarissa exclaimed, her anger flaring even more upon realizing Henry had come to help Nicole. She forcefully shook off Henry's hand and pointed at him accusingly. "You're just another shameless scumbag! First she cheated on my son, and now you guys want to trick him into donating bone marrow!" It was as if Clarissa harbored intense hatred for Henry. She lunged forward. "You despicable pair, how dare you scheme to harm my son? Today, I'll scratch you to death!" Clarissa continued her tirade, attacking Henry's face and neck with scratches and spittle. Initially, Henry only intended to follow Nicole's instructions to kick the arrogant Clarissa out of the ward. But now

    "My parents are back." Nicole sounded somewhat nervous. Although Gregory and Fantine treated Norman better than before, they still didn't want him to have too much contact with Nicole. "Then, I'll head back to the apartment," Norman's gaze softened as he understood Nicole's implication. However, as soon as he stood up from the bedside, Gregory and Fantine pushed the door open and entered the ward. They didn't say much when they saw Norman there. Instead, they directed their gaze toward Nicole. "Nicole, we got a rosary for Jenna, and we got one for you too. We hope you both stay safe," Fantine said, taking out the rosary from her bag and handing it to Nicole cautiously. "It's such a delicate rosary! Hopefully, it will protect Jenna," Nicole said with a faint smile, examining the rosary in her hand. Realizing that Gregory and Fantine had been ignoring him, Norman didn't want to interrupt their family conversation. Silently, he turned to leave the ward. But before he could

    Nicole studied the gentle glow on Norman's face. She was captivated by the sincerity in his deep eyes.If Darlene had not been expecting a baby, Nicole could never have fathomed Norman being unfaithful. However, Nicole was well aware that life did not follow "ifs."She understood that their past couldn't be revived. A difficult choice was unavoidable, even if it meant regret would be its companion."Let's..." Nicole's voice was soft.She took a deep breath before continuing, "Let's part ways once Jenna gets better. It'll be simpler without any complications."Norman, who had hoped for a different outcome, suddenly felt frozen. Confusion clouded his expression, and an unusual weight settled on his chest.Though Nicole had brought up the idea of breaking up before, Norman had always believed it had just been in the heat of the moment. However, this time, her voice was unexpectedly calm.After a brief silence, Norman set aside his sorrow and mustered the courage to ask, "Are you de

    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..."

"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

    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

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?"
