2024-07-27 10:30:21"Mrs. Lysander, where have you been? I've been trying to reach you repeatedly, but you didn't answer my calls. Are you still using that old phone?" said Jordan Franklin, who understood Amora's situation.
The middle-aged man often had trouble reaching Amora because of her phone's condition.
Amora reached into her bag and found that her cell phone was dead. The device often shuts down suddenly due to its age.
It was time for Amora to replace her phone. However, her money was very limited. Amora prioritized Rayden's needs, their home, and daily expenses, so she thought of keeping her phone until it couldn't be used anymore.
"Sorry, Mr. Franklin, my phone died again," said Amora, showing him the screen, which was completely dead.
Regis, who was nearby, glanced at Amora's phone. In his view, the phone was indeed unusable, but he said nothing out of respect for her.

"I just took Mrs. Adams to the hospital. She had a heart attack," Jordan said with a sad expression.Unbeknownst to Amora, Jordan felt quite guilty about this. They had a heated argument about the house sale, and Emma suddenly had a heart attack, prompting Jordan to rush her to the nearest hospital."What?"Amora's eyes widened. She had already been feeling strange about not seeing Emma amid the commotion.Usually, Emma would always be there by her side to face problems together. Now, Amora had an answer to her confusion, and it was completely unexpected!"Who is Mrs. Adams?" Regis asked Mark, who was now standing beside him.Seeing the worry on Amora's face, Regis thought the name mentioned was important to her."She's Miss Lysander's neighbor and also her son's caretaker," Mark replied.Regis paused for a moment, th

Amora headed to the parking lot with Rayden. She put a helmet on his head. Just as she was about to start her motorcycle, Amora realized that the key wasn't in the ignition.She remembered that she had jumped off the bike in her panic over Rayden without taking out the key. Amora searched her pockets and bag but couldn't find it. "Damn it, why did it have to go missing now?" she muttered in frustration."What's wrong, Mom?" Rayden asked, seeing his mother bending down and looking under the motorcycle."The motorcycle key is missing, Ray," Amora replied.Rayden sighed softly. He took off his helmet and started helping his mom search.Suddenly, Mark approached them."Miss Lysander, are you heading to the hospital?" Regis’s assistant asked.Amora glanced at him and nodded before continuing her search."How about yo

Amora had just arrived at the hospital. She immediately headed to the emergency room with Rayden to check on Emma. They searched each cubicle for the older woman but couldn’t find her.Amora then asked a nurse in the emergency room and found out that Emma had already been treated and moved to a private room.With this information, Amora quickly made her way to the room the nurse had indicated, with Rayden by her side.Meanwhile, Regis was still outside the hospital lobby, finishing an important phone call with his father.After ending the call, Regis told Mark, who was waiting by the car, "Mark, take Alicia home now.""Aren’t you coming?" Alicia asked, frowning from inside the car. She had taken off her hat and sunglasses since Amora had gotten out of the car."No. You should go home. It's too late for you to be out," Regis replied.

Mark smiled, then turned his face back to the front. “Sorry, it was an accident. I was just surprised by what you said.”“Surprised about what? You should listen to me before jumping to conclusions,” Alicia pouted.“So ... how many people have seen your post, Miss?” Mark asked worriedly. He started thinking quickly about how to fix the situation.“Do you think I'm that dumb, Mr. Carter? I only sent the video to Aunt Liliana. I bet she won't have to look for another woman for my brother now,” Alicia said proudly.Alicia had a better relationship with her stepmother than Regis did. Liliana Ritter had been her foster mother since she was born.Liliana had a good relationship with their biological mother, so after Viviane Rosendale died giving birth to Alicia, Diego Lorenzo trusted Liliana to take care of his children.

"Yes, you're right. It's none of my business. But, I didn't expect you to end up like this. Turns out the wheel has brought you to this point and stopped."Amora's jaw tightened at Hilde's jab, but she tried to ignore it.On the other hand, Rayden noticed his mother's clenched fist. He guessed she was trying to hold back her anger. Reflexively, Rayden shot a sharp glance at the woman who had angered his mother.Amora forced a smile. "It's not over yet, Hilde. Don't rush to die," she replied, making Hilde's face darken.Amora didn't know where Hilde had heard about her problems. Although curious, she didn't want to prolong the issue in front of Rayden.Her son was listening to their conversation with a curious look on his face. Her past was part of her life. She didn't want her son's pure life to be implicated in it. Besides, it wasn't the right time for Rayden to know.The corner of Hilde's lips lifted slightly. She glanced at the boy who stayed close to Amora and seemed to hate her.

"The doctor said... for now, Mom needs plenty of rest. This week, he will examine her heart condition in more detail. Fortunately, Mr. Franklin brought her to the hospital quickly, so they could take immediate action."Henry explained his mother's condition to Amora.Emma Adams was conscious, but she couldn't talk much. Her face still looked very pale. She was still under the care of nurses and doctors.Amora's eyes gazed at Emma's weary face lying on the stretcher. Her heart ached to see the elderly woman with an oxygen mask to aid her breathing.Several tubes were attached to Emma's chest, connected to medical devices Amora didn't understand.Rayden approached Emma. He carefully held the elderly woman's fingers. His small eyes looked at Emma sorrowfully."Grandma, get well soon. Ray promises not to be naughty and make you upset. You can watch your favorite

Amora's eyes widened. She looked at Hilde with confusion."What do you mean, Hilde? Don't talk nonsense! When did I ever do that?" Amora retorted, equally fiercely.She was starting to get angry, thinking Hilde was making up statements to tarnish her reputation.Hilde's lips curled into a sneer. "Why? Do you forget falling down the stairs and I was accused of being the perpetrator?"Amora gasped. She recalled the incident that happened many years ago.Amora had indeed fallen down the school stairs, resulting in a broken ankle and needing hospital treatment.For almost a week, Amora didn't attend school, and when she returned, she only heard that Hilde had transferred to another school. However, she never suspected that the reason Hilde transferred was related to her small accident!"Why would you say that? What's the connection between my

“I'm sorry, Hilde. I really had no idea you went through something so tough back then,” said Amora with deep sympathy.She sincerely apologized from the bottom of her heart for the events Hilde had experienced several years ago.Even though Amora knew her apology was very late, she felt it was necessary.Hilde cleared her throat softly. She felt a bit awkward because she didn't expect Amora to acknowledge the mistake she had denied some time ago.“Do you think apologizing will make any difference?” Hilde said nervously. She found Amora's sudden friendliness strange.Amora smiled softly. “I know it won't change anything, but I hope you can accept it. And if you really want to do something, I guess you now have the upper hand since you have everything. Isn't that right, Hilde Maven?”“Don't call me by that family name a

"Hey, Kid. We came here to celebrate your arrival. Could you at least appreciate me a little?" Gino quipped at Xavier, who was still engrossed in his laptop.The moment Gino called him "Kid," Xavier shot him a sharp glare. Even though he was much younger than the other two men, he refused to be underestimated. Not wanting to engage in an argument, Xavier simply ignored him.Gino let out a heavy sigh. Hearing about Xavier’s arrival from Regis yesterday, he’d been so excited. He caught the latest flight, even traveling from another continent, just to meet him. But now that he was here, he was being ignored."Why am I even friends with people like you two?" Gino grumbled, his face set in a look of exaggerated annoyance. Of course, he wasn’t serious. It was just his way of expressing frustration.Since the incident that had involved them in a case of theft and auction fraud, Gino had grown to admire both Regis and Xavier. When he found out Xavier was in London, he didn’t think twice about

Laughter echoed in the soundproof room, filling the space with an almost contagious energy. A man with ombre blue hair, reminiscent of ocean waves, held a wine glass in his hand as he strolled over to Regis.“If I hadn’t done that, I’m not sure I’d ever have the chance to meet someone as honorable as you, Your Highness,” he teased, a smirk playing on his lips.“Should I buy a lottery ticket today? I must be lucky if someone as busy as you managed to attend my invitation,” the man continued, slinging an arm around Regis’s shoulder as he guided him toward the plush seating area.Regis, however, brushed off the gesture and glared sharply at him. “I didn’t realize someone as carefree as you even existed. Maybe I should switch careers and become a gemstone tycoon instead of a mafia boss, Young Master Moonstone,” Regis shot back coldly.The stylish man from head to toe was none other than Gino Moonstone, heir to a renowned gemstone empire.One of the ten largest precious gemstone mines in t

Regis raked his hair in frustration. He quickly typed out a reply to his wife, his fingers moving fast across his phone screen.[Sorry, Amora. It’s not that I didn’t want to reply to your messages. The last one didn’t send. I’m doing fine now.]The message was sent in seconds, but waiting for her reply felt like an eternity. Growing impatient, Regis decided to call her.Unfortunately, Amora didn’t pick up.“Where could she be?” Regis muttered anxiously.He called again, and still no answer. Running out of options, Regis decided to call his son. Within moments, his son’s cheerful face popped up on the screen.“Hi, Dad!” Rayden waved with a big smile.Regis smiled back but skipped the pleasantries. “Ray, where’s your mom?”“Mom?” Rayden paused for a moment, his eyes darting around before he turned back to the camera.“I think she’s in the bedroom, Dad. Maybe she’s taking a shower,” Rayden said matter-of-factly.“Ah, I see.” Regis let out a relieved sigh. He’d thought she was mad at him

Mark was stunned. He shared the same thoughts as his boss, then said, “There’s information suggesting that Levent has recently been involved in human organ trafficking.”“Oh, really?” Regis raised an eyebrow, clearly intrigued.“Apparently, Altan Demir himself is handling the transactions, and because of this, he’s been clashing with Murat Demir. It seems Murat doesn’t approve of Altan engaging in such dealings,” Mark added.Regis smirked cynically. He found Murat Demir’s anger justified, as Altan was straying far from the vision and mission Levent had upheld under the Demir family.Levent had always focused on providing illegal services rather than dealing with tangible goods like Altan did now.Regis was certain that Murat disliked Altan’s actions because Murat had always chosen to work behind the scenes. He could only imagine Murat’s frustration upon discovering Altan’s endeavors.“Is the operation still ongoing?” Regis asked with keen interest.“It seems so, Sir. Our informants ha

Royal Dragon Office Building“This is the report just sent by Manager Sunny, Sir.”Monica Grant handed over a document she had just received from the finance division to Regis. The woman, dressed in a pink blazer and matching pencil skirt, stood in front of Regis Lorenzo's desk with a nervous expression.Her gaze lingered on Regis cautiously, worried about making a mistake, though her boss had said nothing for several minutes.“Just leave it,” Regis replied indifferently.Monica obeyed and placed the document on his desk. Her eyes darted to a neatly arranged lunch box that remained untouched.She had ordered the exact meal Regis requested earlier that afternoon, yet he hadn’t eaten any of it. Her thoughts were interrupted when Regis suddenly looked up.“What is it?” Regis probed.“N-no, Sir. I was just worried you haven’t eaten anything all day,” Monica stammered nervously.Regis’s sharp eyes narrowed. He glanced briefly at the meal and muttered, “I’m not in the mood.”“But you should

“You’re not even seven yet. I don’t want you carrying such heavy burdens on your little shoulders, sweetheart. I don’t want you to regret the time you’ve missed out on, Ray,” Amora said earnestly.“I know, Mom. I’m only doing this to fill my free time,” Rayden replied. “But, can I continue the programming class later tonight, Mom?” he asked, looking for reassurance.Earlier, he had to ask the instructor for a break, interrupting the lesson. Now, he hoped his mom would allow him to resume the session later.Amora considered refusing, but when she saw the eagerness shining in her son’s eyes, she relented. “Alright, but just for an hour, okay?” she said.A wide smile spread across Rayden’s face. He hugged his mom tightly and gave her a kiss on the cheek.“Thank you, Mom. You’re the best in the world!” he exclaimed joyfully.Amora chuckled softly, her face lighting up with her son’s happiness. Memories of the past suddenly came rushing back—when she first discovered she was pregnant.She

“What’s this, Ray?”Amora pointed at a series of sentences she couldn’t understand. To her, they looked like some sort of cryptic code.Rayden sighed long and took his tablet back from his mom’s hands. “It’s not a dangerous website, Mom. And those aren’t random weird texts. It’s called Python, Mom,” he explained.“P-Python? You mean … like the snake?” Amora asked, her surprise growing.Rayden chuckled, amused by her reaction.“No, Mom. It’s a programming language. I just signed up for a free online class yesterday to learn it,” Rayden said, pointing to the site name on the screen.His explanation left Amora stunned. She rubbed her temples, taking a moment to calm herself before turning back to her son.“Ray, do you even understand this stuff?” Amora asked, still trying to process her son’s genius.Rayden sighed again. “Mom, I’ll understand it with time and practice. Don’t you trust me?”“It’s not that, Ray,” Amora replied quickly. “I’m just confused. Why choose something this complica

"A-a heart attack?"Amora was utterly shocked by her son's words. "Are you sure you heard that ... that Ben's mom had a heart attack?" she asked, seeking confirmation.Rayden nodded and briefly recounted what he had overheard earlier.Amora was silent for a moment. She didn't know what to say because what happened to Lisa was completely beyond her prediction. She just wanted to teach Lisa a valuable lesson by making her feel as bad and suffer the loss as she had in the past.Amora wanted Lisa to feel a deterrent for insulting her repeatedly and being arrogant in front of her so she was forced to look for Lisa's weaknesses and finally reported the John Brown embezzlement case.She didn't expect Lisa to experience another unfortunate thing.A pang of guilt crossed Amora's heart, but recalling Lisa's past behavior, she thought perhaps this was divine justice for all her wrongdoings.“Maybe this is a reprimand for her bad behavior,” Amora murmured.Rayden nodded. "Yeah, maybe. Bad people

After lunch, Albert Parker drove Amora and Rayden back to their penthouse. He parked the car in the building's parking lot and quickly opened the car door for them.Albert also helped Amora carry the shopping bags. Earlier, they had stopped by a supermarket to pick up a few essentials she needed.He halted his steps when Amora said, “You can leave us here, Mr. Parker. We can go up by ourselves.”They were now standing in front of the elevator leading to the penthouse. However, Albert insisted on accompanying them into the elevator.“I need to ensure your safety until you’re inside the penthouse, Ma’am. This is a direct order from the young master. Please cooperate,” Albert explained, requesting her understanding of his duty.Reluctantly, Amora allowed him to accompany them. As promised, Albert only escorted them to the penthouse door and placed the shopping bags on the terrace.“Thank you for driving us, Mr. Parker,” Amora said as Albert prepared to leave.“Should you need anything, d
