"But where's Dr. Wagner? There's only half an hour left until the surgery, but he's not here yet. How unprofessional!" Francine tutted disapprovingly as she glanced at her watch. Brain surgeon or not, how dare he neglect the heir of Hunt Enterprise?

"Let's wait a little while longer. Dr. Wagner usually arrives right on time, and besides, he only agreed to do this surgery because of his friendship with Mr. Hunt."

"Hmph! Let's see how great he is then! He'd better cure my son, or it's over for him." Francine huffed as she sat in the corridor, forcing herself to be patient.

Meanwhile, Seraphina stood in an isolated area, wiping away her tears as her gaze turned cold. She fished out her phone and called an unregistered number. "Turns out they don't care about me at all, so I don't have to hesitate. Do it—I'll bear the consequences!"

After a while, it was time for the surgery.

Anxious from the wait, Francine demanded, "What's the matter? Isn't he going to start the surgery now? He's s

    Seraphina stepped forward and hugged Francine, patting her back reassuringly. "Don't be upset, Madam Francine—this might be a good thing. Now, Stefan doesn't have to take so many risks. It's meant to be, don't you think?""I'm not sad, but I find it strange that the doctor got into an accident right before the surgery..." Francine glanced at the operating room worriedly. "Stef will be furious when he finds out, and he'll definitely look into it.""Umm..." Seraphina swallowed, her anxiety obvious. Putting both of his hands in his pockets, Elijah turned to Seraphina with a fake smile. "Didn't you want to stop the surgery earlier, Ms. Murphy? Why do you look so worried then? To be honest, I'm not sure whether you want him to have the surgery or not." "What are you trying to say, Elijah?" Seraphina glared at Elijah and snapped, "I don't care about the surgery—I just want Stefan to be safe and healthy. I'll support whatever he does as long as it helps him get better.""Really? Don't

    "Good, the surgery can proceed as planned then. Where is he?" Francine asked curiously."Oh, he..." Elijah glanced at the surgery room. "He entered the room using a staff card. I think the surgery has already started.""What? It's already started?" Francine quickly put her palms together and prayed, "God, please protect him, I beg you... As long as he's safe, I'll do my best to separate him from Renee!"Elijah frowned, looking perplexed. "Madam, why do you want to break up the couple after you agreed to the surgery? Didn't you say that you wouldn't meddle in his life anymore, and you'll let him make his own decisions?" "I did say that, but a fortune teller told me that they're incompatible, and they'll be in serious trouble if they get together. So, I've got to be the villain here to keep them safe," Francine answered honestly. Of course, it was also up to them whether or not they could overcome the obstacles in their path and be with each other forever. "Madam, when did you bec

    Owen was immediately surrounded by people."How did the surgery go, Dr. Wagner? Is my son okay?" Francine asked Owen agitatedly. "Don't worry. The surgery was very successful, and everything will be okay as long as he gets good rest for a few days." The long surgery had exhausted Owen, so he didn't speak much and quickly headed to the changing room to change his clothes. There had been a lot of weird things about Stefan's brain surgery, and he needed to talk to Stefan once he'd woken up."Great! He's finally out of danger." Francine breathed a sigh of relief. To her, the most important thing was her son's safety. Seraphina stood nearby with a complicated expression, feeling conflicted. She was relieved that Stefan was safe, but she was also worried about the aftermath of this surgery. "Are you okay, Ms. Murphy?" Elijah walked up to Seraphina and whispered, noticing Seraphina's odd reaction. "I... I'm fine !" Seraphina swallowed and averted her gaze in obvious guilt. Elijah

    "I won't hold you responsible for that because I know you only did it out of love for Stefan, but I hope you can understand my intentions too," Francine said slowly.Seraphina looked up, her eyes teary. "What are you saying, Madam Francine? What do you want?" "Calm down..." Although Francine seemed to be reassuring Seraphina, she looked disapproving and solemn. "I won't force you to leave my son, but I'll respect his choices. It's his business if he picks you or someone else. However, I do have one request—that you stay away from Stef while he's recuperating.""What?" Seraphina was stunned, and protested, "Isn't that too much, Madam Francine? You know what I've suffered and sacrificed for Stefan, but now that he's got his memories back, you want to get rid of me. You're not even letting me see him! Don't you feel bad doing this to me?" Seraphina wasn't used to such treatment having been pampered and spoiled her whole life. She was once the only heiress of the Murphy family before h

    Jovan's room was full of people the next day. His parents, Eloise, and important executives from Hunt Enterprise had all gathered there since it was a special day. Jovan would be able to see again after the stitches were removed. "It's time, Mr. Hunt. Are you ready? We're going to remove the stitches for you." The doctor asked Jovan seriously."Go ahead." Jovan nodded and sat at the edge of the bed, nervously clasping his hands together. Getting his sight back was almost like being reborn, and no one could understand how agitated he was at that moment.After gaining Jovan's approval, the doctor started removing the bandages. "Your eyes might ache and swell for a while because they haven't been in contact with light for a while, but that's normal. Your vision will be blurred initially, so we'll give you glasses to block out strong lights. It'll help you with the recovery." The last layer of bandages was finally removed, and Jovan could feel a ray of light shining on his eyes. As h

    Jovan pursed his lips, not saying a word. His gentle and melancholic eyes didn't seem to match his character."Hey, I'm talking to you! Do you need new ears too?" Arthur scolded, dissatisfied with Jovan's reaction."He's just recovered; don't force him. Do you want him dead?" Sheila snapped at her husband, looking at her son tenderly. After chatting with Jovan a bit, she left with the others.Finally, the room was silent again.Eloise went to Jovan and whispered carefully, "Are you okay, Master Jovan? Can your eyes take it? If not, please close your eyes and rest for a bit." Calmly, Jovan instructed, "Give me a mirror."Eloise's heart skipped a beat. "Huh?" "I said I want a mirror," Jovan said harshly. Terrified, Eloise immediately went to him with a large mirror, and turned it towards him.Jovan's heart twisted in his chest when familiar eyes stared back at him. "These eyes..."Back then, Jovan had been bewitched by these very eyes. "Is there a problem, Master Jovan? I'

    Jovan didn't think about it too much and took the medicine from Eloise. Although his eyes were swollen, aching, and uncomfortable, he kept his gaze on Eloise as she made the call. However, his vision soon started to get blurry, and he eventually dropped to the ground, unconscious. "Bring Ms. Everheart in, Lisa!" After Eloise confirmed that Jovan had dozed off, she called Lisa on her phone. The medicine she had given Jovan was actually a sedative given by the doctor to help Jovan sleep better.Since Renee had also asked to bid Jovan goodbye before she left, Lisa quickly helped Renee into Jovan's room. "How is he? Can he see now? His body didn't reject the eyes, right?" Renee's eyes still hadn't recovered, so she looked rather aloof as she walked in wearing a pair of sunglasses. She was much more assertive than before, and no one would be able to tell that she was blind. Her persistence and stubbornness made Eloise and Lisa feel very sorry for her. "The doctor said he's recovering w

    Smiling, Renee confessed, "I grew up in Everheart Manor, so I'm very familiar with its layout. I can get around the place with my eyes closed, so don't worry." She didn't want to implicate Lisa and get her in trouble."Okay, just be careful," Lisa said finally."Will do. Get back safely!" Renee waved at Lisa. Once she heard the car drive off, she carefully walked towards the gate. After keying in the password, she brushed her hands against the things around her, making her way into the living room. She had strong perception and observation skills, so it wasn't difficult for her to move around her childhood home. "Adie! Abby!" Renee opened the door and yelled, grinning happily."Mommy!" Abby was drawing upstairs, but when she heard Renee's voice, she ran downstairs excitedly. "It's really you, Mommy! You're finally home!" Abby threw herself into Renee's arms and hugged her. Renee caressed Abby's head lovingly and smiled. "Were you good when I wasn't around?" "Of course! I final

    Amber took a deep breath, her eyes teary. She had long pondered over those words, but was too timid to say them aloud.She wanted to thank Liam for repeatedly insisting that she try to understand herself and reminding her not to take her marriage so callously. After some contemplation, Amber decided to not marry anyone."I won't marry you or Liam. I just want to marry someone I love and who loves me back. Only people who love each other can get married," she said firmly, looking dead serious. Both Mateo and Liam were stunned. Liam stopped acting weak; he held Amber's shoulders and stared at her carefully. "Is that what you truly think?""Yes!" Amber was shocked by the sudden change in Liam and subconsciously leaned backward."That's great! I didn't say those things for nothing. You're finally enlightened!" Liam nodded with gratification. "All I want is for you to understand yourself. There are many messy things and troubles in a marriage. If it isn't supported by love, you'll

    Amber helped Liam to sit down before serving him water and rubbing his neck. She was full of anxiety.Mateo angrily gulped down a glass of wine, but the wine was so strong that he began coughing vigorously. It suffocated him. After helping Liam to settle down, Amber turned and glanced at Mateo, who was full of tears."Matt, why…are you crying? You strangled him, but you act like you're wronged!" "I…" Mateo pointed at his throat and the glass; he needed some water. Amber frowned and said solemnly, "You can't do that. You've repeatedly attacked Liam. You were over the line! Don't you know he thinks of you as his brother and values his friendship with you?"Mateo was flabbergasted to hear it. He knew nothing about that—it seemed Liam was even better at acting than him. While complaining about Mateo, Amber smoothed Liam's chest to make the latter feel better. "Liam always lets you have your way, but you target him. If I came late today, you might strangle and kill him."Mateo

    Mateo swallowed. "Yes, I'm aware of that. The Stuart family has been investing in a lot of entertainment properties in Southeast Aeos in the recent few years. They're controlling more than half of the TV stations. Their power and influence are incomparable.""Looks like you keep up with the current events. Are you involved in the entertainment field too?" Liam asked.He had easily gained the result he wanted with just a few words. He faked a smile and looked at Mateo, who was panicking.Mateo glanced at him and said grumpily, "All that Master ever asks us to do is indecent. If we don't have any people in the media, we're doomed."The Triangle was never governed by the law, but public opinion was a dangerous weapon. If they went over the line and got reported by the media, international law would get involved. Naturally, it would affect their business.The Stuarts did decent business like the Osbornes and might appear easy to control. However, they couldn't be offended casually—a

    Because of Liam's declaration, he and Mateo failed to reach a consensus.Mateo's gaze grew colder and more sinister, and he glared fiercely at Liam. "Fine. There's nothing to talk about between us.""No, you're wrong." Liam calmly swayed the wine glass. "You can get down on your knees and say sorry. Maybe I'll let you off by then!""How dare you!" Mateo could no longer take it—he pushed all the cutleries on the table to the floor and pointed angrily at Liam. "You refused my kindness. I won't go easy on you!""Just come at me. I'll wait," Liam shot back provocatively. He knew Mateo well—the man was wicked and cautious, but also cowardly. Under these circumstances, he wouldn't act recklessly. Hence, Liam wasn't afraid to infuriate him. Renee was right. Mateo had done so many things to control Liam. As long as Liam remained calm, Mateo couldn't do anything to Renee and Leia. "You think I won't do that?" Mateo clenched his fists and snarled fiercely, "I'll break one of their fing

    Liam casually twirled the wine glass in his hand and asked Mateo coldly, "So, you won't stop until you marry Gem?""Not just that." Mateo tore off a drumstick and bit into it, then cracked a cunning sneer. "Marrying Amber is always in my plans. I'll marry her even if you're not involved. Tonight, I want to talk to you about the few territories in your hands.""The territories in my hands?" Liam frowned. Initially, he was confused—then, he understood it and chuckled. "What territories? I just work for Mr. Jenkins. The territories we took in belong to him. You'd better ask them from him instead of me. That's more straightforward."When Liam and Amber decided to fake their marriage, Benjamin focused on training Liam. In the process, he gave Liam a lot of power and authority.Liam didn't fail Benjamin. He did a great job even with his limited power. In half a year, he took three territories, namely the East River, West River, and South River. The three territories came with an importan

    "Just forget about it?" Luneth fell into a daze when she heard Amber's words. She glanced at Amber darkly before letting out a twisted laugh. Then, she shook her head."No, I can't let it go just like that! Grady was hurt. How can I call myself a mother if I let it go like that? I must make the two people who hurt Grady pay dearly!"Luneth's expression shocked Amber. She subconsciously swallowed and asked, "Well, how will you handle it?" "I told Mateo to lock them up. When Grady's condition stabilizes, I'll make them pay!" Luneth's eyes shone with fury and vengeance, and she gnashed her teeth. "They hurt Grady, so I'll give them a taste of their medicine! I won't break their limbs or cut off their tongues. I'll just cut their foreheads and tear off their scalps! What do you think?""You want to…tear off their scalps?" Terror gripped Amber when she heard Luneth's plan. An awkward laughter escaped her. "Isn't that too ruthless? If they didn't do it on purpose, I don't think you sh

    Amber grabbed some tissues beside her and carefully covered the scratch between her brows. She kept calm in hopes that she could make Luneth let down her guard. She knew very well that Liam, Renee, and Leia would be doomed if she didn't stop Luneth from telling Benjamin and Macsen about this incident. Although her face hurt badly from the teacup, it was nothing compared to their safety. "I'm sorry, Gem… I didn't do it on purpose. I was too angry and scared!" Luneth realized how aggressive she had been, and apologized to Amber in sobs. At the same time, she complained piteously, "You know how hard it was for me to get a child. Grady is very dear to Macsen and me. We don't even speak loudly to him or beat him up. But today, someone pressed him to the ground and beat him up. There's such a large hole in his head! The doctors told me that we needed to take good care of his wound. If it gets infected or he gets tetanus, the bacteria or virus might invade his brain and turn him mentall

    Luneth was staying in the southeast of the fort. Her house was a uniquely styled traditional cottage. Upon arriving, Amber could hear a woman crying from afar. Many servants, doctors, and women were standing in front of Luneth's room. Amber walked toward Luneth's servant Jayna Bowie, and asked carefully, "Hello, is Aunt Luneth around?" "Ms. Jenkins, come another day. Mrs. Klein is crying sadly now. She's furious. I'm afraid you might be harmed if you go in," Jayna advised kindly.Those standing in a row at the door were trying to comfort Luneth. However, they were quickly rebuked and became too timid to approach her."It's fine." Amber was aware of her aunt's temper. Smiling, she kept moving forward. "I heard Grady got hurt. As his cousin, I need to see him. Plus, Aunt Luneth always treats me nicely. She won't be angry at me.""Ms. Jenkins, you don't know how serious this is. There's a big hole in the boy's head. The doctor said it might affect his intelligence. Mrs. Klein beca

    After that, Amber looked at Liam, who kept silent the whole time. She tried to make Liam say something nice. "See, Liam? I told you, Matt's a great guy. He was just joking with us in the orchard to scare us. I'm sure he'll take our sides and protect us. Don't worry.""Is that so?" Liam glanced at Mateo and faked a smile. "Well, I should thank him properly."The air between them grew awkward, but Liam didn't care. He wanted to make Mateo uneasy and force the latter to expose his true self.Amber was simple, but Liam was no fool. Mateo's acting was smooth, but he couldn't trick Liam.Moreover, Mateo was the one who came up with that scheme. He wouldn't let anyone expose it—he wanted to be the one to do it."Okay, aren't we going to get a drink? Let's go. I'll make the chef cook us something nice." Mateo enthusiastically held Liam's shoulders and dragged him forward. At that moment, he turned icy. "If you're a man, stop involving Gem if you want to fight against me. Stop showing of
