"Enough. You're completely mad. Tania is the real daughter of the Hoffmans. Your birth mother took someone else's child and left you in her place."You stole what was rightfully Tania's, but did Tania ever hold it against you? Even when Tania returned to the Hoffmans, you still remained their esteemed daughter. Did anyone ever treat you unfairly?"Jordan looked at Layla's twisted expression, and he was filled with hatred. He knew that Layla had never let go of her grudge against Tania. He was now more convinced of what Sean had said. Layla knew where Tania was, and she had something to do with what happened to her."Do you know where Tania is?""Of course, I know. How could I not? But the more you care about her, the less likely I'll tell you," Layla sneered, pain shooting through her kneecap. Despite the intense pain, she stubbornly refused to spill the beans. "It's been three years, and you're only now thinking of looking for Tania. Aren't you worried that she's long dead? Ha

"Are you serious?" Layla's eyes lit up with disbelief as she looked at Jordan. "You're not lying to me?""You should know by now that I never lie. If I've promised you something, I'll keep my word," Jordan said, his gaze fixed steadily on Layla."We can't choose the circumstances of our birth, but we can change our destiny. I don't love you, not because you aren't a true daughter of the Hoffmans but because you've done too many things that I can't accept. If you're willing to change, I'll try to accept you, and I promise I'll never bring up divorce again.""Really?" Layla still could not quite believe it. She only relaxed when she saw Jordan nod. However, as if something suddenly came to mind, she placed her hand over her stomach. "But...""But what?" Jordan looked at Layla with suspicion, unable to understand why she was still hesitating when he had gone this far. "You still don't trust me?""No, I believe you." Layla quickly shook her head. "I believe everything you're saying. I

Sean let out a chuckle. "There's no need to be so afraid of me, Mrs. Langford. After all, you used to call me Sean, too. Don't worry. If anyone gives you trouble in the future, just come to me."Layla shrank back in fear, and Jordan frowned. "Mr. Smith, if there's nothing else, I'll take Layla and leave now.""Oh, of course. You can go," Sean replied casually, though his eyes lingered on Layla. Layla immediately tensed up, sensing his gaze.With a playful smile, Sean glanced from Layla's face to her stomach, then back to her face. "Mrs. Langford, you don't seem to be in good health. How about a free check-up at my hospital?""No need!" Layla quickly refused.Her hasty refusal only made her behavior seem more suspicious. Jordan also found Layla's reaction odd, but considering the injuries she had sustained over the past few days, he assumed she was simply afraid of Sean. "It's fine, Mr. Smith. I'll take care of my wife's injuries myself.""Alright then... Take care," Sean said.

"Yeah. He was supposed to arrive a few days ago, but there were some issues on his end that delayed him. His flight lands tomorrow. Do you want to go pick him up?" Charles squatted down beside Noelle to help her organize the papers.Noelle paused for a moment. "Sure, why not? I had someone clean the place where Mr. Click will be staying a few days ago. Since you said he's arriving tomorrow, I should probably have someone clean it again today."Charles nodded. "I've already arranged for it to be cleaned again.""Charlie…" Noelle sighed as she patted Charles on the shoulder. "You know, you think of everything and handle it all. What's left for me to do?""Silly girl!" Charles could not resist pinching Noelle's nose as she acted all serious. "You're like a little old soul in a young body!""Ow, stop pinching my nose! It's going to get deformed!" She added with a playful tone, "Luckily, my nose is natural. If it had been a fake one, it would've collapsed by now! No more pinching my no

The next day, Noelle worked for half the day before heading to the airport to pick up George. Since Charles was caught up with some last-minute work, Noelle dragged Arya along to help her welcome George. After getting him settled in, Noelle was planning to head back to the office with Arya when Charles called her. "Head to the airport again and pick someone up for me.""The airport? Right now?" Noelle exclaimed in surprise. "I've already picked up Mr. Click. Who else is coming?""Tania!"The moment Charles said that, Noelle nearly slammed on the gas pedal. She thought she must have misheard him. "Did you just say Tania? Tania's coming back? She's… already…"Noelle had assumed it would take some time; she had not expected it to happen so quickly."Yeah, the people in Carvonia said her flight left yesterday. It should be landing in about two hours. I'm tied up here, so I need you to go."Charles had just received the notice himself, but he could not leave his work, so he called N

Peter narrowed his eyes, and the cold air around him made Noelle shiver involuntarily. She gulped nervously, feeling somewhat helpless. "Peter, you still care about Tania, don't you? You've waited for her for three years. Why risk messing up this moment?"Noelle could see clearly that Peter had deep feelings for Tania. Otherwise, he would not have waited for her for so long.Peter remained silent, and Noelle felt too awkward to continue speaking. The two stood by the gate, waiting.To ease the awkwardness, Noelle pulled out her phone and sent Charles a crying emoji, typing: [Peter has some serious connections!]Almost as soon as Noelle sent the message, Charles gave a simple reply, indicating that he was busy. Noelle responded: [Alright, you go ahead and busy yourself, then. I'm at the airport with Peter!]Peter glanced down at her. "Reporting to Charles?"Noelle jolted as if caught red-handed. She awkwardly tugged at her lips into a smile. "I didn't mean anything by it!""M

"Peter!" Noelle had not expected things to escalate like this, nor had she anticipated that Tania had a son—an adorable little boy.Seeing the tension between Peter and Tania, Noelle quickly intervened, "Aren't we here to pick up Tania?"Peter snapped out of it, loosening his grip slightly. "Yes, we're here to pick her up."Tania frowned. Her gaze shifted to Noelle, her eyes full of scrutiny. She tightened her hold on Brandon.She had not expected that after three years apart, she would meet Peter under these circumstances—and worse, he now had someone new by his side. It was clear he treated this woman differently from others.Noelle smiled awkwardly. "You're Tania, right? Hi, I'm Noelle Shaw, I'm—""There's no need," Tania interrupted, her voice cold. "I'm not interested in knowing who you are. Besides, I didn't come back to see any of you."She set Brandon down. "Brandon, let's go meet your grandparents."Noelle had not expected such a response from Tania and could sense a b

Brandon was frightened by Peter's overwhelming presence and shrank into Tania's arms. "Mommy!""Brandon, it's okay. Don't be scared." Tania patted his back, then looked up coldly at Peter. "Mr. Lennon, if death is the only way to sever ties with you, then go ahead and die."Her eyes were completely devoid of emotion. She turned to Noelle and said, "Ms. Shaw, could you please take me to the hospital to see my parents first? Then, I'll go back to Phoenix Tree Residence.""Alright, my car is just outside. Let's go," Noelle shot Peter a glance, silently urging him not to cause trouble.She then helped Tania with her luggage and led the way. "You carry Brandon, and I'll take the luggage. My car is just out front.""Thank you, Ms. Shaw." Now that Tania knew Noelle was Charles' wife, her attitude softened considerably, though she still eyed Noelle with some suspicion.Noelle loaded Tania's luggage into the trunk and opened the backseat door for her. "I'm sorry my car is a bit small. I d

Liliana got ready. She was excited as she headed out. She had not seen Tania, who looked tanned from the sun and was full of energy, in a month.Tania waved to Liliana from far away. "Liliana, over here!"I'm going to take you to a cool place today!""Where?"Tania pulled Liliana close and whispered, "We're going to a bar!""A bar?" Liliana was curious. "What for?"Tania giggled. "A friend gave me this.” She showed off a shiny gold card. "He said it's time for me to see more of the world!"Liliana grabbed the shiny gold card, and her eyes widened in shock. "The Majestic Lounge?" She stared at Tania, puzzled. "How did you get this?"Not just anyone could get their hands on a gold card from The Majestic Lounge. Most people would not know anything about the place, but as Charles's sister, Liliana was in the know. The Majestic Lounge was one of Charles's private businesses and a secret to most outside the family. Layla had a gold card and often hung out there with her friends.Lil

Charles was unusually quiet for a moment, his finger pressed to his lips as if deep in thought. "Are you really ready to walk away from the Smith family's huge estate? You know your dad is the only one holding it up right now, and no one even knows where your fourth uncle is!""Why are you so worried about me? Don't forget I have a brother. If the Jones family won't make room for him, he can just join the Smith family!"While everyone else was trying to claim their piece of the pie, Sean was looking for a way out.Charles knew that once Sean made up his mind, he would not budge. "Alright, I'll look into it for you. Once you're sure, I'll help you seal the deal!""You take care of it," Sean said after a pause. "Aren't you going to check out the commotion downstairs?"Charles glanced down, pulling back his gaze. "Her feelings for you...""Let's not go there. I can't handle that," Sean interrupted, thinking about Layla's haughty behavior earlier and her rudeness toward Liliana. His

Liliana's brow creased slightly. She could not figure out why Layla always seemed to pick fights with her, even though she tried to stay out of Layla's way.Layla stared at Liliana with a sharp gaze. Noticing Liliana's hands were empty, she knew there was no gift for her. That was why Layla was giving Liliana a hard time.Everyone was watching Liliana, and Layla was eager to see how she would handle the situation."Is today your birthday?"Liliana felt awkward with all eyes on her. She glanced at Sean and saw he was not going to step in. She took a deep breath and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know. You never told me, so I thought your birthday was a few days away!""You..." Layla was taken aback by Liliana's response. She scowled. "Didn't you come back just today before leaving again? I thought you were getting me a birthday present!" Layla bit her lip, looking sad. "You and Sean...""It was just a coincidence. Sean said he needed to talk to Charles, and I didn't realize it was for

The cool kids from Jadebrook High School, the elegant daughters of high society, and many others were all in attendance.

Liliana tensed up immediately. "Sean... I can walk on my own!" She pulled her hand away from Sean's grasp.Sean paused, a thought seeming to cross his mind, and a slight smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. "Let's go!" Once they were in the car, Liliana tried to make herself as small as possible. Sean was driving, and she kept her head down, either fiddling with her phone or twiddling her fingers, avoiding conversation.Sean noticed Liliana's preoccupation with her phone and teased, "What's up? Is your phone more interesting than me?"Liliana looked up instinctively and met Sean's gaze. She froze, her eyes locked on his. At that moment, her heart felt like it was about to burst. The sensation was completely overwhelming.She just stared at Sean, unable to move.Sean caught her gaze and felt an odd sensation in his chest. He raised an eyebrow. "What's the matter? Are you amazed? Have you finally figured out I'm more handsome than your phone?""Uh…" Liliana stuttered with a n

Sean nodded, his gaze falling on Liliana.He had not gotten a good look at her clothes from afar. Seeing her now in blue jeans and a white shirt, he realized how simple yet stunning she looked.He could not believe how tall and pretty she had gotten at such a young age.Sean looked away. "Time to get up?""Oh!" Liliana nodded. However, maybe because she had been squatting too long, her legs were all tingly and she lost her balance when she tried to stand, falling backward.Quick as a flash, Sean caught her hand and yanked her toward him, and she ended up crashing right into his arms.The sudden jolt left Liliana dazed. Her head was against Sean's chest, and she could hear his heartbeat while her own heart started to beat wildly.Her face was pressed against him, so Sean could not see how red her cheeks had become.She was frozen, too scared to move. At that moment, she understood something very clearly... She probably liked the guy in front of her. The boy who had saved her the

"Alright. Have fun with your friends, and don't come home too late," Sean said before hanging up. Liliana's heart started to beat faster for some reason, and she could still hear Sean's voice in her ears, as if he were right there with her.She kept staring at Sean, who was still standing there. It looked like a girl had walked up to him.Liliana could not see very clearly, but she could see a girl in a pink dress with long hair standing next to Sean. She did not catch what they were saying, but Sean looked really happy.Suddenly, Liliana felt a soft pain, a sharp twinge in her heart.It was so quick and elusive that she could not figure out what she was feeling."What's wrong?" Tania asked, noticing Liliana seemed upset after her phone call. She kept staring into space. Tania looked around but saw nothing. She waved her hand in front of Liliana's face. "Liliana?"Liliana came back to the present with a forced smile. "Tania, didn't you say you'd take me out for a big birthday din

Tania's face went pale when she heard that. "No way!"Tania was still young and did not really get all that lovey-dovey stuff. She just thought Brian was nicer to her than her other friends. With a puzzled look, Tania scratched her head. "Maybe he just thinks I'm... cute?"Liliana shook her head. "Don’t you know? Him giving you a watch means he likes you.""Really?" Tania jumped. "Liliana, you're not joking, right? I'm just a kid, and I've always seen him as a big brother." Suddenly, the watch felt like a hot potato in Tania's hands, and she quickly snapped it shut. "What should I do now?"Liliana threw up her hands. "I have no idea!"She had never been in this kind of situation before and did not know what to do."So..."Tania did not get to finish because Liliana's phone started ringing. She stopped, pulled out her phone, and looked at the caller ID with a surprised face. With Tania watching, she answered, "Hello?"Sean was on the line, frowning. He asked, "Are you at the Wor

"Brian? You're back?" Tania paused, smiling at Brian. "What brings you home today?"If Tania was not mistaken, was Brian not supposed to be at college in another town?Brian's heart raced as Tania spoke, and his cheeks flushed a light pink. He looked at her and said, "Um... I actually got back a few days ago.""Oh, was it something urgent?" Tania asked, nodding without suspicion.Brian felt his pulse quicken. "Um... I heard today's your birthday?"Tania paused, then cocked her head and smiled at Brian. "Yes. I'm surprised you remembered my birthday!""Happy Birthday!" Brian blurted out. He pulled out a box from behind and handed it to her. "For you."Tania took the box, a little unsure at first, but quickly smiled. "Thanks so much, Brian!"Seeing Tania's sweet smile, Brian's heart skipped a beat, his rhythm all over the place. "No problem!""I've got to go now, Brian." Tania waved, tucked Brian's gift into her bag, and hopped away with a spring in her step.Liliana had arrang
