LOGINAlexander opened his eyes and looked at Francine. His eyes showed mixed emotions."Maybe you're right. In the past, I too thought my feelings for you were nothing but responsibility and obligation. I thought I needed to play the role of a husband who loved his wife and the role of a great father. But today, when I realized I might lose you, I finally understood that you had already become an inseparable part of my life!"Francine froze. Her tears kept falling. "Alexander.""I won't let you face this alone." Alexander walked over and hugged her. "For all the mistakes we made, we'll pay for them together. No matter what the outcome is, I'll stay by your side."Francine broke down crying in his arms."I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I only truly realized now that I was wrong. I was really wrong. My jealousy and narrow-mindedness hurt you, Stefan, and the two children even more."Her words were not an attempt to gain sympathy. She truly realized from the bottom of her heart how horribly wrong
"Take it this far?"Renee looked at Quinton in disbelief. It was as if she had just heard something absurd. "Quinton, what are you thinking? She did something so horrible to you! I haven't even used violence against her. I've already shown enough mercy. How can that be called taking it too far?""But…"Quinton looked at Stefan. Thinking about how deeply Renee had once loved this man, how much she had sacrificed for him, and how they had now been forced into becoming enemies, his heart hurt."But the past is already the past. I don't want the pain from years ago to affect your life now and make you suffer even more. I only want you to be happy."Quinton treasured his current life, especially after reuniting with Renee. Having a nephew and a niece, and getting along well with Joanna, he had slowly let go of the pain he carried. In fact, he had almost forgotten the suffering of the past.But if Renee really sent Francine to prison, then she and Stefan would truly be over. The chil
Francine looked up. The moment she met Stefan's eyes, she completely broke down. "Stefan, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry…""I'm not the one you should be apologizing to!" Stefan's voice trembled as he pointed at Renee and Quinton. "You owe them an apology. Compared to everything they've been through, your apology means nothing!""I… I…"Francine stood frozen in place. The woman who had once been so proud and untouchable now looked like a child abandoned by the entire world. She was fragile and helpless.Alexander watched Francine silently. He had never seen her look so vulnerable before, and his heart was filled with mixed emotions.He took a deep breath and walked up to Quinton before bowing deeply to him. "Child, I'm sorry. I failed to keep my wife at bay. Because of that, you suffered so much…""Your apology means nothing," Renee spoke coldly. "My brother and I don't want an apology. We want justice."Alexander froze. The Renee standing before him felt like a completely different pe
"Every year after that, I regularly gave that fisherman money. The amount of money meant nothing to a wealthy family, but to an ordinary household, it was enough for them to live comfortably for the rest of their lives," Francine said calmly.Francine had always been strong-willed. Even now, she still didn't truly believe she had done something wrong."Hah. Do you think giving money makes it right? Do you actually think you did something good?"Renee's anger had already turned into disbelief. More than anything, she thought Francine was shameless. "How could someone as shameless as you exist in this world?""Shameless?"Francine's expression turned cold. She clenched her fists. "If I truly wanted to be cruel, he would have died long ago!""You think leaving me alive was some act of kindness?" Quinton roared. "Sometimes living is worse than dying! That's called being alive but wishing you weren't!"Quinton stepped forward. His eyes were filled with hatred."Do you know what ki
"That's because…"Francine's tears fell as her expression slowly turned fierce. Her eyes became filled with resentment and cruelty as she clenched her jaw. "Because I hated her. I hated that woman. Only by doing something like this could I truly get revenge on her without losing anything myself!""Why?" Alexander grabbed Francine's shoulder angrily. "Why did you hate her?"Francine looked up at her husband. Her eyes were filled with hatred. "You tell me. Why do you think I hated her? Who else in this world knows better than you why I hated her?""I-I don't know…"Under Francine's questioning, Alexander's eyes held both confusion and guilt. He slowly let go of her shoulders and stepped back."Exactly. Why is that? I want to know too." Renee's voice trembled. She stared at Alexander, who had lowered his head. "Mr. Hunt, do you really dare say that you knew nothing?""I-I'm not lying to you. I truly didn't know anything. I only found out about this today. I never thought she woul
Seeing Francine's obvious panic, Renee's cold smile widened. "What's wrong, Madam Francine? Do you know my brother?""I… I…"Francine avoided Renee's gaze. Her voice was so soft it was almost inaudible.In Renee's memory, this former mother-in-law of hers, who was known as 'The First Lady of Beach City,' had always carried herself with her chin raised. She acted as if she was above everyone else. She had never once shown such a guilty demeanor. This only proved one thing. The suffering her brother had endured wasn't his paranoid imagination. Everything really was connected to the Hunt family."Brother?" Alexander, who stood to the side, looked Quinton up and down. His brows furrowed deeper. "You were married to Stef for so many years. How come I never knew you had a brother? Is he a distant relative of yours?""I'm not a distant relative. I'm her twin brother." Quinton's voice was firm and clear. It carried undeniable authority."W-What? Twin brother? I've never heard of this b
They continued to gossip and argue. The topic originated from a batch of photos posted by a famous entertainment industry paparazzi on a certain forum.The photos showed Renee splashing coffee and wine on Stefan Hunt's face.The caption was: "Hunt Enterprise's CEO rekindled his relationship with his e
“Well...”Aiden rubbed his chin and seemed to be in a dilemma. "Q has his strong points, but Bad Daddy has his values too. It's such a difficult choice.”“I know!”Abigail raised her hands high and said with sparkling eyes, "Since Daddy Q and Bad Daddy are both pretty good, why not just accept both of
The male anatomy was the body's most vulnerable area, and the effects of being injured there were awful.Stefan would make her life difficult if he became impotent because of her. She didn't want to be responsible for that, so she couldn't be careless.Stefan's expression clouded, and he grabbed her w
The current Renee was no longer someone he could control. She had no intention of joining the Hunt family. This made him very frustrated.“I'm asking who the children's mother is. Why won't you answer the question?”Francine started speculating, "Let me guess which family she's from. She must be from
