Since she had been adopted, there was not a room for her, so they had set her up in a makeshift space in a small storeroom.Rosie opened the door to find Jazzy in the midst of changing.Jazzy let out a piercing scream and dove under the blankets, her face in sheer panic as she kept screaming. Madeline quickly shut the door, blocking Trevon and Daniel from entering. As Jazzy's screams filled the room, Madeline and Rosie locked eyes, each recognizing the heavy concern reflected back at them. "Jazzy."Rosie softly called out to her, trying to move closer, but Jazzy shoved her away. Madeline frowned with worry. She gently pulled Rosie aside and asked, "Jazzy, you up for some boba?" At the sound of Madeline's voice, Jazzy's crying began to subside. She cautiously poked her head out from

"How did it get to the police station?"Daniel quickly filled her in on last night's drama."You mean, someone died yesterday on Green Jubilee Road?"A shiver of fear ran through Madeline. She was lucky that Bernard was there for her, decisively whisking her away to the safety of the orphanage. If not for him, she might have been the hostage in yesterday's ordeal.The thought of someone dying for her weighed heavily on Madeline's heart."Daniel, could you find out about the girl who died? I'd like to pray for her," Madeline whispered.Daniel nodded in agreement.Madeline, troubled, sent a quick text to Bernard before sinking into her chair in silence.Trevon, noticing her distress but also her diligence in updating others, felt a twist in his gut and let out a frustrated grunt.…Edith only learned of the close call at the orphanage after Madeline's phone call.

Tracy would not take a loss lying down. If only she had a way to fight it.To her, three million dollars was nothing.However, Lydia had backed Tracy into a corner at the Silver Leaf Studio, threatening her very life. She was caught between a rock and a hard place, forced to back down."I recall events like yesterday's auction always get plenty of press. Usually, they zero in on the auction itself and miss the fashion angle."Tracy squinted thoughtfully.Madeline suggested, "How about we buy a press release? Highlight all the designer outfits from the auction, especially Lydia's gown."Tracy got the hint and smirked. "A gown that's returned right after the show? It's like they're playing dress-up with no money to back it. I'm curious how the Sanders family will show their faces after this."It was a clever trap.Once the gown was the talk of the town, Cilix and Lydia would be forced to buy it back to maintain their dignity.They could not afford the hit to their reputation. No

Madeline first thought she was hearing things, but turning to Bella, she caught her mother's gaze, wavering and unfocused.Her eyes went wide, and in an instant, she was at Bella's side. "Mom, can you hear me? You're awake!"Madeline began sobbing, but in a heartbeat, Bella's focus faded, her eyes drifting shut once more."Mom?"Madeline's voice broke, calling out again and again, but Bella remained unresponsive.Desperate, she turned to Caleb. "Caleb?"Caleb frowned with concern as he tried to soothe her. "Let's not jump to conclusions. I'll get to the doctor."He hit the call button, summoning a nurse and asking for Bella's doctor. Then, with a stethoscope in hand, he began to assess Bella's condition, which seemed unchanged from before.Bella slipped back into a deep sleep, as if the earlier whisper of Madeline's name was nothing but a shared hallucination.The verdict from the head doctor echoed Caleb's own thoughts.Madeline gripped Bella's hand, struggling to accept tha

In Lydia's hospital room, Skylar was slicing apples for her daughter when her cellphone erupted with a series of dings.She set aside the knife and apple, checked her phone, and her expression soured.Lydia, savoring her apple, caught the shift in her mother's mood and asked, "What's the matter, Mom?"Skylar gripped her phone tightly, forcing a strained smile. "Oh, it's nothing. Just that investment I made tanked, that's all."Lydia rolled her eyes. "Mom, those investment schemes are nothing but scams. They prey on folks like you who aren't in the know. If you're serious about getting your finances in shape, I could hook you up with a financial planner. You pay him a cut for commission, and he'll handle your assets. It's all the rage overseas."Skylar dismissed the idea with a wave of her hand. "Please, my savings are hardly worth the fuss of hiring some finance guys, not to mention the fees. It's just not worth it."She locked her phone and swiftly steered the conversation elsew

Daniel passed the phone back to Trevon after disconnecting. "Aren't you going to check on her? Mrs. Sanders sounded pretty worried."Without a second look, Trevon chucked the phone aside as he loosened his tie. "I'm not a doctor."He was not born yesterday.Lydia's wrist was not badly hurt.
