Since Josiah liked it, of course, Ysabelle was willing to take the drug.Furthermore, she wanted to spice things up a little more. She has never had such fun before in her life.Thus, after Yoseph left, she immediately downed the contents in the vial. After that, she climbed on the bed and posed in a sexy posture. She waited for Josiah while feeling the changes in her body.Soon, her body heated up, it was as if something was flowing through her veins. It was a strange feeling, but it felt good. It was hot…Someone opened the door.Ysabelle knew that it was Josiah. She was excited yet eager with anticipation.The room was lit dimly in a warm light. On top of that, she was drugged. Her logical senses and view became blurry. She saw a man's silhouette and she eagerly pounced at him."Josiah, you're finally here! I've missed you!" Ysabelle said next to the man's ears."Hey, baby! I miss you too!" A man with a strange accent said, then he kissed her on the lips.It was almost in a
"Ysabelle, didn't you also trick Meredith to take the drug back then, then you got Yoel to go to her room?" Josiah said calmly.Ysabelle was stunned. Has he found out about it? Was he trying to avenge Meredith?No! She could not admit it, if not the consequences would be terrible! "I don't understand what you are talking about!""You don't understand? Other than the Leightons, who could get this drug from Doctor Leonard? Back then, you went there to take it from him once. You drugged Meredith with it, right?"Also, the last time I was drugged it was by you too, right? Fortunately, I slept with Meredith and not you." Josiah's tone was still cold. "Ysabelle, are you so desperate to sleep with me?""Josiah!" Ysabelle initially went there to settle the score about the incident the night before. At that moment, she was so frightened she could no longer care about seeking justice. She started trembling.She was extremely nervous, but she pretended to be calm and said, "Don't lose you
Josiah wanted to punch himself badly. He wondered about the terrible things he had done in the past!Josiah grabbed the phone from his desk. "Get this b*tch out!"Soon, Yoseph entered. Ysabelle glared at Yoseph loathingly, thinking about the vial he gave her the night before.Yoseph was not afraid of her at all. He coldly said, "Miss Ysabelle, if you do not want the security to escort you, please leave."Ysabelle bit her lips and left reluctantly.The moment she reached home she was welcomed with a slap on the face. She lost her balance on her high heels and fell to the ground. She angrily looked up and saw that it was her father who slapped her."Dad, have you gone mad?" Ysabelle huffed.Marvin took one step forward. He was about to beat her up when Margot pulled him back."Marvin, what use is there beating Ysabelle up now? Do you think Josiah would let us go just like that?"Marvin slapped Margot backhandedly. "How dare you speak in front of me!"Margot was beaten up by Mar
Margot's cheeks were red from the slap. She nodded, tears flowing. "Not only did Josiah cut off all ties with the Leightons, but he also forced your father to sell the Leightons to him, if not, he will expose your father's wrongdoings in the past.""What wrongdoings?""Things that happened in the business. Mostly of him manipulating others. Josiah got ahold of the information somehow." Margot held Ysabelle's hands tightly and said frantically, "By the way, Ysabelle, didn't you say that Josiah wanted you to get pregnant to surprise his grandmother? Did he sleep with you last night? If he did, that means you still mean something to him. Can you go and beg him…""Mom!" Ysabelle interrupted her mutterings.At the mention of the night before, Ysabelle got even angrier and more upset. She felt worse than being slapped by her father."Ysabelle, what happened?" Margot looked at Ysabelle's reddened eyes and asked concernedly, "What happened? Did Josiah not sleep with you last night? But th
However, other than asking Meredith for help, what other choice did Margot have? She had no other choice."Even if we have to prostrate and bow our heads to her, we have to bear it. After all, it is a small issue if the company goes, but we can't have the family all in prison!""Mom, I'm not going!""Ysabelle! Don't think too far away, just think about Miss Leah," Margot reminded Ysabelle, "murder itself would give you a life sentence. Previously, Josiah did not investigate it because he was determined that it was Meredith who did it, he wanted to keep Meredith alive. Right now, if he were to investigate it again, he would find out everything about what you did. You'll be sentenced to death. Do you understand?" Death sentence.Ysabelle was so frightened she was at a loss for words.…Liam poured a full glass of wine and pushed the glass to Josiah.Josiah did not drink. He only watched the video repeatedly on his phone. The video was of the event held at the mall previously, Me
"If not?" If not, who else could Josiah blame? Other than blaming himself, who else could he blame? He had to find someone to blame to relieve himself of the anger!"Josiah, have you forgotten how you beat me up the last time? Let me tell you, my tooth is still loose from it!""It's just a tooth, I'll pay you back!"It was just a tooth. How could it be compared to his daughter's life? "Okay! Pay it back!" Liam suddenly raised his fist and threw a punch at Josiah's face.Josiah immediately fell to the ground full of glass shards.He immediately felt the glass shards piercing through his skin as he hissed out in pain. He finally felt the pain of being hurt by glass…just like Meredith.Josiah laid on the ground in a daze, letting blood ooze out from his body, dyeing his shirt red. The scene that was on his mind was when Meredith was being thrown on the floor full of glass shards.Back then, she was not wearing any clothes. The glass shards immediately pierced her skin. It was muc
The doctor did not know what Josiah was thinking, so he said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'll be gentler.""No need," Josiah said.The doctor was stunned for a while. He looked up at Josiah. Liam, by the side, said, "Don't worry, he has gone nuts, like Meredith."The doctor panicked even more. Alfred panicked too.…Although Ysabelle was unwilling, for the sake of her life and the survival of the Leightons, she had to bow down to reality and follow Margot to the hospital.Margot understood Ysabelle's character. In the lift, she reminded Ysabelle, "When you see Meredith later, you have to control your temper. Don't spoil this for me. Understood?""Mom, you've told me this a hundred times." Ysabelle was annoyed."Look at how annoyed you are.""You're asking me to apologize to that b*tch. Don't you think I'll be annoyed?""Why don't you think about me? I'm elderly and I still have to bow down to her." Margot felt humiliated too. "Too bad she has the power right now.""So, Mom,
"Edith, I know you're upset, but the incident has happened. Try to come to terms with it." Margot pulled Ysabelle aside from behind her and continued, "Edith, it's our fault. We didn't take care of you. We're here to apologize to you. I hope you can forgive us, please?"Meredith still did not move. Margot hinted at Ysabelle to say something. Ysabelle cleared her throat and said rather insincerely, "I'm sorry, I was wrong."Meredith finally slowly turned around. She said emotionlessly, "Who are you?"Thud!Margot and Ysabelle knelt on the ground. Their tears fell, looking sincere. "Edith. I know you're angry. We really understood that we made a mistake. Please forgive us. We are still family, after all, please?""Edith, you can just not do anything. If Josiah were to continue this way, the Leightons are finished. We will be finished too. You will no longer have any family or a home.""Edith, didn't you always say that the Leightons belonged to your mother? Could you bear to see
Back in the bedroom on the second floor, Liam pulled Ivy into the bathroom to take a bath together.Ivy allowed him to take off her clothes and pulled her to stand under the water.Liam helped her take a bath and asked, "How is it? Is everything okay?""It's not bad." Ivy said, "I didn't expect your parents to welcome me so warmly."Liam looked at her proudly, with the water still flowing down from his head. "Of course! You should thank the guy that has good taste. How can they dislike a girl of my choosing?"Ivy smiled and said, "Okay, previously...""Don't mention the previous things, let them pass." Liam interrupted her.Ivy was stunned for a moment, then nodded. "Okay, it's all over.""Yes. From now on, there is only happiness." Liam lowered his head and whispered in her ear, and kissed her lips……Meredith and Josiah listened in shock to Liam and Ivy's story, while watching the three children chasing and making trouble outside the floor-to-ceiling window.They were all
Ivy raised her hand and touched the top of Siena's hair. "God treated me well, and gave me back my daughter, and also gave me the child's father.""No, you're wrong." Liam smiled and said, "God treated me well and sent the child and the child's mother back to my arms.""Oh, spare me." Madam Sheldon shook her head unbearably.Madam Sheldon finally believed that Siena was her own granddaughter.She excitedly hugged Siena into her arms, and she burst into tears with joy. "Great, our Sheldon family finally has a granddaughter! Great!""Grandma, you like Siena, right?" Siena asked sweetly."Nonsense! Of course, Grandma likes Siena. Grandma has always dreamed about a little grandson or a little granddaughter." Madam Sheldon choked as she said.Liam and Ivy looked at each other and smiled.After hugging Siena excitedly for a while, Madam Sheldon released her, and looked at her again. "Now that you mentioned it, she looks a lot like Liam. Look at her nose, her ears...right? Am I righ
"You even helped me get dressed before you left!" Liam pinched her chin. "Ivy, aren't you embarrassed saying these things?""You asked me.""...""If I didn't help you get dressed, you might be so stupid that you don't even know that you slept with someone, right?""Ivy!" Liam gritted his teeth. "You stole my seed, and you dare to laugh at me for being stupid?""Isn't it stupid?" Ivy was not afraid of him. She raised an eyebrow at him deliberately. "Liam, think about it. Were you being stupid that night?"Liam was silent.Yes, he was really stupid.He was so stupid that he was too embarrassed to admit it. He did not even have the face to mention it in front of Josiah.Looking at the woman in front of him, he wanted to laugh and be mad at the same time.He did not want to say anything. He just wanted to use actions to prove how angry he was, how excited, happy, and...Countless emotions were intertwined in his body, causing him to bow his head and kiss her lips fiercely.Ivy
"Okay, I'm sorry." Ivy got up and walked around in front of him, sitting on his lap and hugging his neck with a smile. "Do I need to make up for you as well? Say sorry to you?""Yes, of course.""I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was wrong. I shouldn't have kept it from you for so long. I shouldn't have kept the news about Siena's from you until now, okay?""Do you think I'll let you off with just that?" Liam was not satisfied."Then what do you want?""The rest will be paid in the evening.""Okay, double compensation," Ivy responded generously.Hearing her say that, Liam was extremely satisfied.He did not mind his daughter's presence at all. He instructed her, "Siena, turn around, I'm going to kiss Mommy.""Why can't I see you kiss Mommy?" Siena was puzzled."Because your Mommy will be shy.""Oh, okay then." Siena turned around wisely."I'm not shy, it's you who is shy." Ivy held Liam's handsome face and kissed him on the lips.Liam was moved for a second, and when he tried to dee
The adoptive parents expressed their understanding. They waved their hands and said, "It's alright. If it were me, I'd be crying happy tears too.""Anyway, thank you very much," Liam said."Mister Liam, you don't have to be so polite. Otherwise, we will be even more embarrassed," the adoptive father said.The adoptive mother held Siena, who seemed a little lost. She pulled Siena in front of Ivy and said softly, "Siena, I'm sorry, Mommy never told you that Ivy is your biological mommy."Siena looked at her in shock. "Really? Is Mommy Ivy my biological mother? Did she give birth to me?""Yes. Mommy wouldn't just pass you to a random stranger, right?" The adoptive mother smiled and said, "Siena, you will be able to spend time with your biological mommy in the future. Isn't that great?"Siena nodded, then stretched out her palm and gently stroked Ivy's face. "Mommy, why are you crying? Don't you want to be my biological mommy?""Siena!" Ivy suddenly pulled Siena into her embrace."
Siena's adoptive parents expressed that they understood. They waved their hands and said, "It's fine. If it were me, we would cry happy tears too." "Anyway, thank you very much," Liam said."Mister Liam, don't say such a thing. If not, we will be even more embarrassed," Siena's adoptive father said.Siena's adoptive mother pulled Siena, who did not know much about what was happening, over to Ivy's side and gently said, "Siena, I'm sorry. I have never told you that Ivy is your real Mommy."Siena looked at her in shock. "Are you serious? Mommy Ivy is my real Mommy? The one that gave birth to me?""Yes, if not, how could I simply give you to any other person?" Siena's adoptive mother said with a smile, "In the future, you will be living with your real Mommy. Are you happy?"Siena nodded before reaching her hand out and touching Ivy's face. "Mommy, why are you crying? Don't you want to be my real Mommy?""Siena!" Ivy suddenly hugged her."Darling, I have been looking for you for s
Siena's adoptive parents looked at each other and smiled.The kitchen was calling them to take their seats.Liam got up and said, "Come, let's eat and talk."Then, he said to Siena, "Siena, go get Daddy and Mommy to eat. They must be hungry."Siena happily brought her adoptive parents to take their seats. The dinner was in the garden. They ate and talked at the same time. The entire process was pleasant.Toward the end, Siena's adoptive mover suddenly got up and walked over to Ivy. She looked at her deeply and said after a while, "Ivy, there is a secret I have been hiding from you for a very long time.""What is it?" Ivy saw how serious she was. She could not help but feel the severity of it."Siena…" Siena's adoptive mother paused for a while before saying, "Siena is the baby that you have been looking for all these years."Ivy was stunned. Liam was stunned too.Ivy was feeling uneasy. Blood was rushing to her head. Shock, delight, surprise, excitement, all of the emotions ga
Ivy heard what Liam said and looked out at the door.When she saw that it was Siena's adoptive parents, she was instantly stunned."They are the guests that you mentioned?""Yes." Liam stood next to her and smiled. He said, "They said they hoped that they could see Siena one more time.""Is that so? That's great." Ivy held Siena's hand and walked out.Outside the door, Siena's adoptive parents were extremely friendly. "Hello! Ivy! Haven't seen you in a while!""Hello." Ivy welcomed them. "Welcome."They looked at Siena behind Ivy. "Hello, Siena. It's been a while."Siena was so anxious she was almost in tears. She said with reddened eyes, "I don't want to go back! I don't want to!"Seeing how Siena was against them, they looked awkward. From there, one could infer how irresponsible they were of their adopted daughter previously.Ivy ruffled Siena's head and said softly in her ears, "Siena, don't be afraid. Your adoptive parents are here to send you off because you're about to
Ivy cleared her throat. She ruffled Siena's head. "Don't listen to your Daddy. How could I be tired? Furthermore, taking care of you is the happiest and proudest thing I have ever done.""Really? Mommy, you really like me that much?""I do."Siena laughed happily."Let's go. We'll head home." Ivy held Siena's hand and they walked under the sycamore tree."Mommy, has Daddy gone back?""Not yet," Ivy said, "Daddy said he wants to give us a surprise.""Oh, that's great. I don't want Daddy to leave us.""Why? Do you like Daddy?""I do." Siena nodded. "Also, with Daddy here, you will be much happier. I like to see you being happy."Ivy saw Siena's face under the sun. She could not help but be moved. Siena was too understanding and caring.She suddenly thought of her own daughter. If she was still around, she would be Siena's age. She wondered whether she was as caring as Siena.At that thought, the smile on her face faded a little."Mommy, look! There are two birds!" Siena sudd
