At a high-end seaside restaurant, the waves danced like flowers, and the sea breeze was sweet. She arrived half an hour early, wanting some time alone to enjoy the scenery.

Memories gradually washed over her, those brief yet beautiful moments with Luca, which momentarily clouded her mind like a dream.

Hugging her knees, she sat on the beach, watching the waves and other couples frolicking in the sand, feeling a twinge of envy.

“If five years ago you had believed me, maybe we would be a happy family of three by now…”

Vanessa mumbled, surprised to find that she still harbored fantasies about Luca. She shook her head, trying to clear her thoughts.

“Vanessa…”

The call from behind startled her, and she turned around in surprise.

Seeing that it was indeed Luca, she concealed all her warmth and put on a look of disdain, frowning as she faced him.

“Mr. Kensington, we aren’t close enough for first names yet.”

She said coolly befo

    Vanessa looked at the nearby roads; the closest place was Daxton's house. However, the car behind was tailing her too closely, and she had no chance to turn around. After some thought, she made a very simple decision!To the Kensington residence!...Luxury villa area, at the entrance.Vanessa was stopped by the guard, who requested her access card or the electronic code for entry.But she had neither. Glancing at the two cars hiding in the shadows, she awkwardly said, “Can you wait a moment? I’ll call someone to pick me up.”The guard nodded, standing beside her car.After observing for a while, he took out his walkie-talkie and called over several patrolling guards, seemingly having noticed that other vehicles were following her.Vanessa tried to call Grandpa, but his phone was turned off…Knock, knock, knock...The guard knocked on her car window. She nervously rolled down the window and said, “Grandpa isn’t an

    Cortex.Vanessa arrived at the office, full of energy, and her assistant immediately followed her in, closing the door behind them.Vanessa understood the reason for his presence but still asked, “Did you find it?”The assistant nodded, saying, “We found it. There’s a file on the USB drive, and there’s also one in the email. I…”Vanessa shot him a warning look, signaling him not to continue.He immediately caught on and changed his phrasing, saying, “I’ve already cleared everything here; there are no backups left.”“Okay, I understand. You can leave now.”She initially intended to hand it over to the police but couldn't resist her curiosity.Vanessa opened the video. Although she couldn't see who was driving the vehicle, the dashcam confirmed that Alden's car had indeed gone to Pako Group that night!

    The news constantly reported on the arrest of the suspect from Pako Group, but she learned that Alden had been released without charges just 24 hours after her arrest.However, it seemed like this news was automatically filtered out, as no one dared to report it.Vanessa felt uneasy, so she contacted the police station using her own phone. The officer who answered was a detective named Claude.“Miss Saxon, you’re calling about Alden’s arrest, aren’t you?”Before she could say anything, the officer already understood her intentions, as if he had been waiting for her call.“It seems Officer Claude has guessed who I am,” she replied.“I looked into the call information from your number and quickly confirmed that it was you who called.”It seemed that the video footage was useful for them in capturing the murderer, but hadn’t they just released Alden?As she pondered this, Claude suggested that she cooperate with the police i

    Vanessa couldn't afford to offend him and could only respond evasively, “Alright, alright, whatever you say.”Though Luca wanted to explain further, he knew in his heart that she wouldn’t believe him.In the end, he let out a heavy sigh through his nose.“Why did they want to kill President Pako?”Hearing this, Luca looked up and saw her with a conflicted and remorseful expression. He hadn’t noticed that his fists were clenched tightly.He placed her foot on the coffee table and sat down on the single sofa beside her, staring at her intently.“Don’t worry, the bad guys will ultimately be brought to justice.”Was that a line from Batman?For some reason, the moment she heard those words, she felt like laughing, thinking it sounded like something a character from an anime would say.

    With a dull thud, the sound wasn’t loud, but it drew everyone’s attention.They saw Luca suddenly lean against the car hood, looking as if he were in considerable discomfort.Vanessa, closest to him, rushed over to support him and anxiously asked, “What’s wrong? Are you in pain?”Despite his bravado, Luca shook his head and waved his hand, forcing a smile as he denied, “I’m fine; just feeling a bit dizzy.”She didn’t believe him and quickly called for someone to help him to the tent. After examining him, the accompanying doctor emerged with a frown.“Mr. Kensington has sustained an injury to his side, likely from a collision and subsequent fall, which has led to an infection. He needs to be taken to the hospital immediately for treatment and medication.”Vanessa was shocked and glanced at Luca, whose complexion was already looking quite bad.

    Luca indeed realized that Isla was much smarter than her mother.At least so far, she was the first to pick up on his intentions for coming here.“Isla, don’t you want someone to take care of your mom, love her, and also care for you?”“Uncle, do you want to be that person?”Luca, tempted by the prospect of 'benefits,' quickly admitted, “I do…”Then he swiftly realized he had been successfully led into a conversation by a kindergarten kid, and instead of being angry, he felt particularly pleased about it.“Isla, you’re so smart and perceptive; you’ll surely be my daughter in the future…”Just as he was praising her, Vanessa misunderstood and abruptly pulled Isla towards her, holding up an ice pack, her eyes alert and tense as she questioned, “What daughter? Who’s your daughter?”Both Luca and Isla were slightly taken aback, shocked by her reaction.But they didn’t think much of i

She quickly turned back to her room, hugging Isla and spending a sleepless night.What does Luca mean by this? Is he finding someone to protect her and Isla? Is he so worried about Isla because he knows her true identity?As these thoughts swirled in her mind, she self-doubted and questioned whether he genuinely wanted to protect the two of them, feeling that something didn’t quite add up.After pondering, she wondered if his moving in was indeed to protect her?For some reason, just thinking about it made her heart skip a beat. ...Ever since the police visited Beatriz to inquire about the c

    Magnus nodded immediately. "Of course, Daddy is a strong man. If he promises Maxime something, he will make sure to do it.""Daddy is so great! Daddy is the best! I love Daddy the most!" Maxime happily jumped up and down in his arms.Senna's face immediately turned dark. "This little brat has no conscience. You’ve been bought with just a gaming console. If Mommy doesn’t buy you one, you’ll hate Mommy, right? Hmm?"When Maxime saw that his mother’s face darkened, he immediately slipped out of Magnus’s arms, hugged her arm, and coquettishly said, "No, no, Mommy, don't be mad, I love Mommy the most... the most... the most..." He said ‘the most’ many times in one breath.Senna chuckled. "Good thing you still know you love Mommy the most... Otherwise, I wouldn’t want you anymore."Maxime immediately pouted his little lips and said, "No, no, no...""Alright, Maxime, Mommy needs to rest more to recover. You go back to Rosewood Manor with Uncle Edric."As the time was getting late, Magnus call

    When Maxime saw the old man lying in bed, his black eyes scanned the room a few times, realizing there was no one else. He then leaned over to the bedside with a cute smile. "You’re my great-grandpa." Magnus hadn’t lied to him. He was practically his mini-me, looking so much like him when he was young. The old man looked at Maxime, his eyes reddening as he almost couldn’t stop himself from crying. "Great-grandpa, why are you lying in bed, not moving?" Maxime reached up to scratch his head and then seemed to realize something. "I know, great-grandpa is sick, just like mom, and has to rest in bed, right?" "Little young master is so thoughtful. That's right, your great-grandpa is sick and can only rest in bed," the butler said, increasingly happy as he looked at the thoughtful child. What a well-behaved little one. "Mom says when you’re sick, you need to rest and drink more water. Great-grandpa, you should drink more water and eat more so you can get better soon." Maxime leaned ove

    Senna looked at Magnus, the man who was like a god to her, her eyes reddened with emotion. "Magnus, you...""Those shares were left to you by your grandparents. I know you’re worried," Magnus gently cupped her face with his hands, leaned down and softly kissed her forehead, smiling as he said, "I helped you get them back because I want you to be happy, not to make you cry.""I… I am just so overwhelmed with emotion," Senna chuckled, blinking away the tears. She cared about those shares not for the wealth they represented, but because they were a legacy from her grandparents, a blessing from them."Senna, I want to ask you for one thing," Magnus said, lifting Maxime in his arms and looking at her."You've done so much for me, and yet you're still being so distant?" Senna raised an eyebrow, her curiosity piqued."This matter requires your consent before I can act. The Voss family owes you so much," Magnus lowered his head to glance at the child who was looking at him with equal curiosit

    Mrs. Thorne had swollen, red eyes and a pale face, clearly having cried all night. She stormed in, angrily pointing at Senna and accusing her. “You wretched woman, you should have died three years ago. You shouldn’t have come back. Give me back my Astrid’s life! My poor daughter, she died so miserably!”Tobias and Maxime saw their hostile intent and quickly stood up to block Senna’s window.Maxime pointed at Mrs. Thorne and loudly said in a grown-up manner, “Old witch, I won’t allow you to curse my mom.”“Where did this wild child come from? How dare you call me an old witch? You rude, ill-mannered little bastard,” Mrs. Thorne snapped at Maxime.Senna sat up, gently patting Maxime’s head, her face darkening, and her gaze turning cold. “Maxime is not a wild child. He is my son, and he only needs to be polite to others.”Mrs. Thorne was beyond enraged. “Senna, you wretched woman, you killed my daughter, and now you’re insulting me? I’m your stepmother!

    In a spacious, luxurious private hospital room, The Old Master lay on the bed, his face withered, his expression weary, and his eyes hollow. He had always been so proud and arrogant, unable to accept that he was now paralyzed. He refused to eat, and after two days, he could only survive on nutrition injections.“Old Master, I beg you, please eat a bit. If you don’t eat or drink like this, how can your body survive?” The butler, holding a bowl of congee, tried to feed him, but he refused to open his mouth.The butler felt heartbroken. He had served the old master for many years, and their relationship had long exceeded the bounds of master and servant. He thought of him as a brother, a family member. Seeing him like this, he wished he could take the suffering for him.The old man was known for his stubbornness; when he didn’t want to do something, no one could force him. He was once a powerful figure, but now he had fallen to such a state,

    “You don’t have it now, but you will soon. Hurry up and get better, don’t forget, the tenth day is our big day,” Magnus said as he held her hand, his face full of anticipation.“Everyone outside thinks you're going to marry Astrid Thorne. What does that have to do with me?” Senna turned her face away and snorted.“Are you jealous?” Magnus couldn’t help but chuckle. “You’re the mother of my two children, yet you’re still so jealous.”Magnus reached out to turn her face back to him, gently brushing her nose with his finger. “I haven’t told you yet, Astrid is dead.”“What? Astrid is dead?” Senna asked in surprise. “How did she die?” She had already guessed that Magnus wouldn’t let her off after hurting her at the mansion, but she didn’t expect him to go as far as killing her.After the shock, she felt a little pity—it w

    Magnus reached out and gently wiped the tears from her face, his voice hoarse. “My Grandpa believed you were the one who set the fire that killed Matthias. He wouldn’t pass up any chance to take revenge on you. If I hadn’t done what I did, your life would have been in danger.”“Sis, brother-in-law didn’t mean to deceive you. Please forgive him.” Tobias pleaded anxiously.“You bad daddy! You made Mommy cry! I hate you!” Maxime angrily raised his little arm and shoved him away before hugging Senna tightly, speaking in an old-fashioned tone, “Mommy, don’t cry. Maxime loves you the most.”Looking at his own son standing like a wall between them, Magnus’s temple twitched violently. He barely resisted the urge to throw the little brat out.“Maxime, kids shouldn’t interrupt when adults are talking. Let me talk to your daddy, okay?” Senna stroked his head, her mind overflowing

    It was unclear how much time had passed when a beautiful melody drifted into Senna’s ears. This song…“Sis, don’t sleep anymore. Please wake up, okay? I miss you so much. Sis, it’s been so long since you sang me to sleep. Do you still remember this song? You used to sing it to me all the time. Please wake up, sis. I’m so worried about you.”The familiar voice echoed in her ears—it was Tobias’s voice. Could it be… that she had died and met Tobias in heaven?“Sis, wake up! Open your eyes and look at me! It’s me, Tobias. How could you be so cruel and leave me behind?”Tobias’s voice grew increasingly sorrowful, choked with tears. Big, warm drops of his tears landed on Senna’s face.“Tobias…” It really was his voice.

    But, the butler warning came too late. The sharp blade plunged mercilessly into the old master’s abdomen."You old bastard," Astrid sneered, her voice dripping with venom. "Three years ago, you promised me that if I got rid of Senna, I would marry into the Voss family as the young madam. But you went back on your word—I tolerated it. And now, when Magnus’s people are hunting me down, you want to cut ties with me? Since I’m doomed anyway, I’ll take you down with me.

Without hesitation, he raised his gun.Bang!The gunshot rang out.Astrid’s crazed laughter was abruptly silenced. A bullet pierced her forehead. Her wide, crazed eyes froze in place as her body collapsed to the ground, lifeless, her expression frozen in disbelief."Old Master, are you alright? Someone call for help!
