“Yes, I am an *sshole. What about you? Would you take an *sshole like me back?” Finally, the sound of Sean speaking quietly rang out in Liliana’s ears. That sentence felt like a spring breeze in March that soothed her heart. She blinked and stared at Sean as if he were a stranger before she started laughing. She reached out and grabbed Sean’s hand, slowly stepping toward him as he backed away from her. Liliana’s eyes narrowed when she noticed the way Sean was acting, and she finally managed to corner him. She pressed one hand against the wall, a gentle smile on her face as she slowly made her way toward him and leaned forward to puff a breath of air against his ear. When she noticed the tips of his ears growing red, Liliana smiled and opened her mouth to nibble at his ear. She did not bite down hard enough to injure him, but it still brought about a stinging pain. Liliana noticed Sean curling his hands into fists as if he were fighting the urge to do something. Her eyes crinkled

“Why not return home if you’re back here?” “Home? In case you've forgotten, my home is not in Brookville, Mr. Hoffman.” Liliana wiped the smile from her face. “Alright, I think that’s enough of seeing each other for today. I’ve got other matters to attend to, so I’ll pass on reminiscing with everybody. Goodbye!” Liliana turned and walked away after she finished her sentence. Though she seemed relaxed on the surface, her slightly faltering steps betrayed her emotions. Noelle watched Liliana from the corner of her eyes and made sure she was gone before she approached Sean and asked, “Sean, are you alright?” Sean’s face was pale, but he merely shook his head. "I’m fine!” Liliana must have packed all her strength into kicking him, or else he would not need this long to recover. When he recalled what she had said just now, his face turned even paler. He pressed a hand against the wall to support himself as he grinned at Charles. "Looks like her hatred extends toward you as well no

“But from how Sean looked at Liliana, I don’t think it’s what you’re making it out to be. He…” Noelle sighed but did not finish her sentence. After all, she did not know Liliana well enough to be saying too much about her. “But what relationship do you have with Liliana?” When she heard Liliana addressing Charles as ‘Mr. Hoffman’ just now, Noelle guessed that their sibling relationship was not what she had imagined it to be. “Other than Tania, that’s how Liliana treats everyone in the Hoffman family!” Charles pulled Noelle slightly closer to him so he could wrap his coat around her. “Feeling warmer now?”“Yes!” Noelle nodded. “Are Liliana and Tania very close?” “Yes, they’re very good friends. They were friends in university before Tania returned to the Hoffman family, hence their closeness!” “Did Liliana say her last name was Emiliano just now? It’s obvious she’s trying to set boundaries between herself and the Hoffman family.” “Her biological mom’s last name is Emiliano. T

It was late by the time Liliana returned to her rented place. She gently pushed the door open. When she saw the babysitter waiting for her, she hurried in and asked, “Has he fallen asleep?” “Yes, Ms. Emiliano. He’s fast asleep!” The babysitter untied her apron as she said, “I’ve already prepared dinner for you, Ms. Emiliano, and it’s ready to be eaten now. I must head home soon. Also, Bobby had a slight fever today. I’ve brought his temperature back down, but the poor child must have felt quite unwell. You should take him to the hospital for a check-up, Ms. Emiliano. His body won’t be able to take it if this goes on for longer!” “Really? Did Bobby cry today?” Liliana frowned and hurried into the bedroom to lay a hand against Bobby’s forehead, which did feel warm to the touch. She hurriedly scooped him into her arms. “You can head back first. Thank you so much for keeping an eye on him this late in the night. I’m so sorry for the inconvenience!” As Liliana spoke, she took a stack of

Bobby shook his head firmly. "It doesn't hurt. Bobby is a man, and men don't feel pain!""How brave!" Liliana praised while planting another kiss on Bobby's small cheek. "Now, sleep tight. Mommy will stay with you, always."Bobby's tiny hand clung tightly to Liliana's, holding on as though afraid to let go. Seeing him like this, Liliana felt an unbearable ache in her heart, though she hid it well.It was not until Bobby finally drifted off to sleep that Liliana carefully withdrew her hand. She walked to the hallway and pulled a cigarette from her bag. She was about to light it but paused, lowering her hand instead.Her gaze fell on the hospital garden not far away. There was a deep melancholy in her expression as her hand unconsciously rested on her abdomen. She let out a bitter smile, the corners of her lips barely lifting.Sean entered just as this scene unfolded. He saw Liliana's hand protectively placed over her abdomen. Her face carried a sadness that seemed to stem from a pa

Liliana's eyes turned slightly red as she bit her lip and took a deep breath. "Sean, what exactly do you want?"Sean frowned slightly. Seeing Liliana in this state caused a faint ache in his chest. He reached out his trembling hand, but just as it was about to touch her, it froze in mid-air.As he stared at her face, he sighed softly. "Do things between us really have to be like this?""What else? Do you think there's another option for us? If you don't have anything else to say, I'm leaving!""Why are you at the hospital?" Sean called after her. "Are you sick?"Liliana bit her lip. "It's none of your business!""Liliana, you should know that in Brookville, no hospital is better equipped than mine," Sean said.Liliana's back stiffened instantly.She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. "So, you've been investigating me! Sean, you're despicable!"Sean closed his eyes briefly. "You must understand that in Brookville, if you want something done, you either turn to Charles or

Outside The Majestic Lounge, Sean's entire demeanor shifted after Andrew spoke. Andrew cautiously observed Sean, sensing a change in the atmosphere around him. After a long pause, Sean finally said, "Take me to see it.""Right this way, Mr. Smith!"Sean and Andrew entered the surveillance room and pulled up the footage from the cameras. Since each private room in The Majestic Lounge had surveillance, it was relatively easy to monitor the conversations inside.However, the lounge kept these recordings highly confidential. Retrieving them was typically impossible—except for Sean and his team.Andrew had accidentally noticed Liliana appearing in Yankel's private room earlier, which immediately struck him as odd. He had been keeping a close eye on the situation and promptly informed Sean when something noteworthy occurred.Sean watched the footage, his expression hardening. "Can you retrieve the audio from their conversation?""This will take some time," Andrew admitted before hesita

"Mr. Smith has already gone to the hospital to see Ms. Hoffman. Bobby was admitted again today," Ronald reported.Charles frowned deeply. "Admitted again?""Yes, Mr. Smith went to see Ms. Hoffman, but she turned him away. Sir, should we intervene and stop Mr. Smith from seeing her?" Ronald hesitated, knowing Sean was the primary cause of Liliana's pain all those years ago."No need. The matter between Liliana and Sean must be resolved eventually. Let them handle it themselves. What's the update on Grant? I asked you to investigate him.""Mr. Anderson has been engaging with the Nexus Group while in Brookville. Other than the meeting with your wife a few days ago, he hasn't had any private contact with her. Recently, he's been alternating between field visits and staying at his hotel. Everything appears normal so far."Charles waved his hand. "What about Kelly?""It seems Mr. Anderson has confined Ms. Anderson. She hasn't made any moves recently. Should we take any action?""Keep

"I'm heading back to Phoenix Tree Residence this time, and we'll definitely be passing this way. These spots here are where it's easiest to take action!" Charles explained, turning to Steven. "Mr. Fischer, can your crew handle these places?"Steven did not look too great, but he glanced at Charles, checked out the spots on the map, and nodded. "Sure can!""What about these points, Peter? You got them?"Peter nodded. "You're set on going back to Phoenix Tree Residence? Right now, it seems way safer to head to the Hoffman Residence!"Simon could not hold back any longer and blurted out, "How can you all be so sure someone's going to strike tomorrow?"Charles just smiled a little. "I’m not sure!"Simon let out a scoff. "You expect me to buy that?"Charles always seemed like the type who had things figured out. He must have his reasons for planning like that, but Simon had not figured them out yet. "You act like you know my brother better than I do!""This is his last chance!" Char

Simon's smile faded a bit. "You're right again, bro. It's been days without a peep from Ms. Anderson. I sure hope she's not... gone."However, Simon's words made the air around them grow tense. He could feel the chilling vibe coming off Jacob, who was clearly not happy, even though he did not show it. Simon knew then that this Kelly person must be pretty special to Jacob.After Jacob walked away, Simon rubbed his chin and snorted softly before returning to his room.No sooner had Simon settled in than he got a message. Charles's message was clear: hold off on buying any more shares of the York Group until then.Simon set his phone aside and rubbed his chin thoughtfully. He had a clear view of the rock garden in the York family's backyard from his bedroom window.He never imagined that secrets would still be hidden in the shadows after living with the Yorks for so many years. However, Simon could not help but smirk. After witnessing that awful moment between that man and his mother

Simon raised an eyebrow. "Haven't I always been at the company?"Simon's slouchy look made Jacob frown a little. "I'm talking about actually working at the company, not just having a title and doing nothing. You're part of the York family, so when the family needs help, you should pitch in!""Jacob, the York family has you, and that's plenty. I know what you can do, and don't you know me? I might just bungle everything up." Simon pulled out his hands, leaned back against the wall with a cigarette case and lighter in hand, and gave them a spin. He paused, then said, "By the way, why did you suddenly go overseas? Is the York Group doing business there?"Simon's offhand question made Jacob's eyes snap to him sharply. "When did you start caring about these things?""Oh, it's no big deal, just some small talk over drinks today. Someone said you started a company overseas. I didn't believe it. We're all Yorks here. How could we not know if you were doing something like that?"Jacob squi

Jacob pushed the door open and stepped inside, spotting Jeanette seated in a recliner with a Bible in her hands. She read it nearly daily, and it had grown worn over time.Jacob's gaze fell on Jeanette, and he noticed she was also sizing him up. Lifting his eyes, he let a faint smile curve his lips as he walked over. "Grandma, what are you reading?" he asked."Do you not see what I'm looking at?" Jeanette asked, her face suddenly serious. "Jacob, did you forget what I've told you before?""I remember, Grandma," Jacob said, worried she might not believe him. He moved a chair next to her and started to gently massage her legs.However, Jeanette was not so easily tricked. She brushed Jacob's hand away and looked at him with a stern face, very different from her usual warm smile. "Jacob, I may be old, but I'm not blind. Years have gone by. Your grandpa's gone, your dad's gone, and all I want now is for you to live a good life."She reached out and touched Jacob's face. On closer inspe

Yves came back from the hospital and headed straight for the York family home. The mood there was heavy with worry. Everyone was scared that the trouble from two days ago might come back to haunt them.They could not forget how Simon had carried Ms. Anderson out of the house, and the serious warning he had given them.Harold had done some digging and found out that Kelly really was Harrison's daughter. She had not known Harrison when she was little, so the Anderson family from Capiton had taken her in. Just like the Hoffmans and the Smiths from Brookville, the Andersons were not the kind of people they would want to mess with.Kelly might not have been the apple of the Anderson family's eye, but Grant sure treated her well. Now that the Smith family had welcomed her back, Kelly had both the Andersons and the Smiths watching her back. Getting on the bad side of either family was definitely not a good idea.Harold did not usually bother with petty matters. However, with Jacob away an

Eloise's fingers shook just a little, but she nodded seriously. "Take your medicine, get better, and I'll go. Just don't send me away now, please."With that, Eloise held out the glass of water to Steven again. "You need to take care of yourself. You haven't had any rest for days."Steven stared at Eloise's defiant face and suddenly laughed mockingly. He stood up, towering over her with his tall frame. He tilted her chin up with his long fingers, his icy eyes locking onto her bare face. His words cut deep. "You seem to have forgotten that you're just a pawn to me. Even your name, Eloise, was chosen by me. Remember your place!"Eloise's face went white as she heard his words. Her hands balled into fists at her sides. She tried to read his expression, but his eyes were like ice—no warmth nor emotion."Yes, I've always known who I am," Eloise said quietly, looking down. "If it weren't for you, I'd probably still be lost."She looked up again, her eyes then as cool and detached as his

Charles squinted at him. "You don't seem too happy to have me around!""No, no, don't get me wrong. Noelle and Kelly are my sisters, and they’re part of the Smith family. I wouldn't ever dislike them! But don't you think you're wasting resources by being here?"Sean was practically pleading. "Look, if you're not smart with your money, that's fine by me!""Silly Sean! You just said they're your sisters, yet now you're talking about money?" Charles raised an eyebrow. Sean's face fell. "I messed up. I don't want your money. I'll pay you to leave, okay?"Charles just smirked. "Alright, I'll have my things packed up and head out in a couple of days."Sean let out a big sigh of relief. "Okay! I'll have someone clean up for you right away. It won't even take two days. We'll have it done today!" After saying that, Sean whistled cheerfully and bounced away.Charles rubbed his forehead, a bit frustrated, and quickly reviewed the latest reports about the Collosus Group.Steven had been sec

Yves's car lingered long at the hospital entrance, finally pulling away as the last bit of night faded.Yves had been hanging around the hospital entrance for a while, and the secret guard who was watching him had already told Charles about it. Actually, Charles had seen the car parked outside the hospital on the security screen a long time ago.Charles was staring at the screen, lost in thought.After a bit, a tiny smile appeared on his face, and his eyes sparkled.Charles was surprised that Yves cared so much about Kelly. He was brave enough to come there all by himself, even though it was dangerous. The hospital was full of their own people. If Charles had not been sitting there and had caught Yves instead, this whole thing might already be over.The door to the hospital room opened, and Sean, who was tall and striking, stood there. He had been at the hospital a lot those days, staying close ever since he started looking after Kelly. Linda was there too.Every day, Linda was b

"You must really want to die!" Yves twisted his hand, and Elon's arm popped out of its socket. "Who told you the York family has a dungeon? My father? Or...""No! The old master has nothing to do with this!""Hmph!" Yves glared at Elon. "You never saw me as your master, did you? Only my father?" Yves squeezed Elon's cheek. "What did my father give you that made you remain so loyal, even years after his death?""Nothing... You are my master. The old master gave me my life and asked me to follow you for all of it, so no matter what you do, I will obey.""Then why didn't you listen when I said not to hurt her?" A dangerous look flickered in Yves' eyes. "Hmm?""Because I know she'll mess up your big plans, Sir. You don't see it now, but one day you'll understand that I am doing all this for you." Elon clenched his teeth against the pain. "Sir, please see the truth. This woman will only hold you back. Even if you take my life now, I won't complain, but don't let her ruin your big plans
