Anxiety gripped Andrea as she tightly clutched the phone, her discomfort growing with each silent moment that followed her hesitant "Hello? Is everything alright?"

No response came from the other end, leaving Andrea's face creased with worry as she waited in tense anticipation.

"Mrs. Anderson, are you there?" Andrea's voice quivered as she hazarded a guess at the caller's identity, but the silence persisted.

"Mother-in-law, can you hear me?" Andrea pressed on, her nerves fraying with each unanswered call.

With a heavy heart, she finally ended the call and furrowed her brow in deep contemplation before turning on the television.

A female broadcaster appeared on the screen, delivering the chilling news of a terrorist attack in Vegas City. Andrea's heart sank as she recoiled from the screen, her thoughts immediately turning to Valentine.

Dialing Valentine's number frantically, she was met with the frustration of the call not going through.

He abruptly cut short his conversation with the Sheriff and rushed after her.Reaching out, Tony grasped Andrea's arm just as she stood only five feet from the river's edge. "What are you thinking? Are you considering ending your life over a man who betrayed and divorced you?" Tony's voice betrayed his anger and disappointment at Andrea's apparent actions.A look of surprise flickered across Andrea's face as she recoiled in bewilderment. "What do you mean?" she questioned.Caught off guard by Andrea's response, Tony struggled for words before finally regaining his composure. "Weren't you about to jump into the river?" he asked."Of course not. Why would I do something like that?"

The mansion's staff, ever attentive, promptly emerged to transport the luggage inside, their actions smooth and practiced.Leaving Pete in the capable hands of the staff, Andrea made her way to the garden, where Agatha awaited, a conversation pending between them.Together, they settled onto a garden bench, the weight of the situation pressing down.

Just be there," she said firmly before he could finish.With determination, Andrea gathered the wedding gown, rose to her feet, and swiftly exited without a backward glance.As she reached for the door of her car, her phone began to ring. Frowning, she answered the call. "Ma'am Andrea, you must come to Val. Corp immediately. Some board members have convened, and they are discussing ending the merger between Singers Group and Val. Corp."Andrea's expression darkened with fury upon hearing the news from the caller.

The members glanced at each other in confusion, with even Mr. Hick's face turning pale at the thought of Valentine Anderson possibly being alive.Andrea, oblivious to the gravity of the situation she had left behind in the boardroom, made her way home as the day began to transition into evening. The sky was painted with the warm hues of dusk when she pulled into the driveway."Mommy!" Pete exclaimed, his young face lighting up at the sight of her car. He had been playing in the garden, but upon seeing her, he dashed towards her with all the boundless energy of a child. Andrea lifted him into a warm embrace."Did you like the toys I got you?" she asked him softly.Pete nodded enthusiastically. "I do, I love them all," he replied with a smile that reached his eyes.Andrea's heart felt a gentle tug of joy as she set Pete down.

Memories flooded back, particularly of the day they had received their results and exited the school gates together with Valentine and his sister Benita, along with other kids from their neighborhood."Sister Andrea, your grades are always better than mine, but I'll work harder to narrow the gap. I don't want to be too far behind my future wife," Valentine had declared, showing his determination even back then.Andrea blushed and lowered her head shyly at his words. They had been just children when Valentine had confessed his feelings and his desire to marry her.Sitting in her car, Andrea reminisced with a smile playing on he

She opened the door and found Pete fast asleep on his bed.Approaching the bed, Andrea bent down and gently kissed Pete's forehead, whispering, "I love you, honey."As Pete stirred in his sleep and murmured, "Daddy," Andrea's mood shifted, a hint of sadness crossing her face. She turned away silently and left the room without a word.When Andrea emerged from the room, Agatha was still in the living room, waiting for her."Did you see Tony?" Andrea inquired, making her way to a chair to sit down across from Agatha."Andrea, let's not talk about Tony. We ne

    When Andrea and Valentine Anderson saw Pete holding hands with Agatha as they walked into the church, Andrea was pleasantly surprised, while Valentine Anderson was shocked.The guests whispered among themselves, trying to understand what was happening.Valentine was shocked because he knew how many men he had stationed where he had hidden Pete.Valentine's gaze fell on Lucas Anderson, whose clothes were ripped, trousers dirty, and head messy, his entire body almost covered in dust. Valentine realized who had rescued Pete, and his eyes burned with anger."Pete!" Andrea cried out in surprise and joy, tears rolling down her cheeks. She took a step forward, trying to climb down from the altar, but Valentine Anderson stretched out his arm and grabbed her, forcefully pulling her to himself. He took out a gun, holding Andrea hostage."Don't move, or she will die!" Valentine Anderson roared in rage, his eyes bloodshot. Why is it so hard to complete their wedding vows again? he thought in dism

    Seeing this, Andrea was shocked and deeply disappointed. Her heart shattered into a million pieces as tears streamed down her face. Her lips trembled as she asked in disbelief, "Val, you—"She didn't know what to say, feeling suffocated as the air in the room seemed to press down on her. She shut her eyes in pain, tears continuing to roll down her cheeks."Andrea, if you want Pete to stay alive, marry me tomorrow morning. I'll be waiting for you at the church. If you fail to show up, don’t blame me for being ruthless." With that, Valentine Anderson turned on his heel and strode out of the room.Andrea collapsed to the floor, bursting into tears. She couldn't believe that Valentine doubted her. After years of marriage and knowing him, his lack of trust broke her heart.The door creaked open, and Agatha walked in to see Andrea on the floor.

    Lucas frowned; he hadn't expected Tony to scold him so furiously."Has he been knocked silly by the kick just now?" Lucas pondered.While mulling it over, he retorted coldly, "You've gone insane."After speaking, he turned to re-enter the house, but Tony stubbornly said, "I won't leave until you explain how you are Pete's father."Lucas was irritated by Tony's words, his eyebrows furrowing with impatience. He glared coldly and replied, "I'm not in the mood to talk nonsense with you. You’re probably drunk or drugged; that's why you're spouting this nonsense."Lucas didn't take Tony's accusation to heart at all. To him, it was utterly nonsensical and unreasonable.Gritting his teeth with clenched fists, Tony took a step forward, but he didn't rush to attack. He wasn't a masochist and feared another vicious kick from Lucas, whose martial arts skills were too good for him to compete with.Sneering, Tony cursed unhappily, "I'm not drunk. It's you and your family who are drunk and on drugs.

    Tony suggested, "Andrea, why don't we go to the hospital and get the results? That might be better."After thinking it over, Andrea agreed. They left the Presidential Hotel and drove to the hospital. When they arrived, Andrea's doctor, Doctor Kone, was already in his office waiting for them."Mrs. Singers, I thought you might not need the DNA test results, but just in case, I kept them safe. Here they are," Doctor Kone said, extending an envelope towards her.With trembling hands, Andrea took it. Nervous, she forgot to thank Doctor Kone and immediately pulled the DNA test slip from the envelope.As she read the paper, her pupils dilated in disbelief. She looked at Doctor Kone, stunned. "Doctor Kone, does this mean they have a father-son relationship?"While Andrea was knowledgeable about the data, nothing seemed to make sense to her.Doctor Kone, who had supervised the test, was aware of the final result. Without hesitation, he confirmed, "Yes, they are father and son."Tony, sitting

    Agatha fell silent, pondering over Andrea's words. After a moment of consideration, she asked tentatively, "Andrea, do you want to marry him?"Andrea remained silent for a full minute, seriously contemplating the question. Finally, she shook her head resolutely. "I don't want to."Agatha nodded seriously and began to advise, "If you don't—"Just then, Andrea's secretary opened the door, interrupting their conversation. Both women turned their heads toward her.Realizing her mistake, the secretary quickly spoke up. "Ma'am Andrea, your husband is here to see you, and he sounded very urgent."Andrea was surprised to hear that Valentine had come to the company, as Lucas had never visited while they were living together as husband and wife.Agatha urged Andrea, "Go ahead, I'll finalize what we discussed."Andrea nodded, stood up, and followed her secretary. She saw Valentine sitting in the waiting lounge, his palms covered in bandages. When he saw her, he sprang to his feet, smiling sweetl

    Valentine Anderson drove directly to the hospital, having already called his personal doctor. Arriving, Doctor Steve was taken aback to see that the man who had just spoken to him on the phone looked different from the Valentine Anderson he remembered."It's me, Steve. I need your help," Valentine said as he noticed Doctor Steve staring at him in silence.Though Doctor Steve was quiet, his mind was racing. He knew Valentine had been a bomb victim, and recent news reports had mentioned him, though Steve had dismissed them as baseless rumors. Now, seeing Valentine looking exactly like the deceased Pascal Willow, he couldn't deny the reality anymore."Let's go to my office," Doctor Steve finally said, snapping out of his thoughts and quickly making a decision.They walked into the office together and sat down, facing each other.

    The more Valentine Anderson stared intently at his phone screen, the tighter his grip on the device became. The DNA test analysis at the end revealed he shared only 25% of his DNA with Pete, indicating that he was Pete's uncle rather than his father."Impossible!" he bellowed, startling Housekeeper Win, whose pen slipped and drew a line across the paper she was writing on.Smoke seemed to billow from Valentine's ears as the vein on his forehead bulged with anger. He shoved the phone into his pocket, yanked off his apron, and stormed out of the kitchen, his expression dark.Housekeeper Win was so frightened that she opened her mouth several times to ask what was wrong but couldn't utter a word. Anxious and afraid he might head to Pete or Andrea's room to hurt one of them, she quickly followed him.But her fears were unfounded.
