Nathan led Suzanne to the dressing table and gestured for her to sit down.

Meanwhile, he settled on the bed and adopted a serious tone. "Suzanne, in situations where we don't have solid proof, it's wise to be cautious and skeptical."

Suzanne was a bit puzzled. Nathan sensed that she might not have encountered much of the real world.

Maybe she had been sheltered from it. Or it could be that amnesia protected her from the harsh realities of human nature.

"I have a hunch you could be a Nightshade spy, but without proof, it's just a suspicion," Nathan explained patiently.

"Did the informant you killed lie?" Suzanne asked.

"He wasn't the one who tried to harm you earlier. I've scrutinized the footage extensively. Their body sizes don't match.

"Also, the vice-captain, who's usually armed with a gun, wouldn't resort to a knife for an assassination attempt," Nathan responded.

Suzanne was taken aback. She hadn't expected Nathan to delve so deeply into the matter.

    "Guess what? I went to more than a dozen countries this time. It was super awesome!" exclaimed a woman in her 50s with excitement.Her chattering made it feel like she was in the midst of a lively market. Suzanne approached everyone awkwardly. Nathan noticed her and patted the space next to him on the couch, inviting her to sit.Suzanne was grateful for Nathan's thoughtful gesture. She joined Nathan on the couch and noticed a poised young woman sitting across from her. The young lady was elegant and had her eyes fixed on Suzanne.In the first few minutes of Suzanne settling down, she observed the whole family quietly enduring the constant talk of the middle-aged woman.The woman, decked out in jewelry, looked quite affluent. As she casually picked up her water from the coffee table and took a sip, she noticed Suzanne sitting next to Nathan.Her eyes widened. Without waiting for Nathan to make the introduction, she took the initiative to introduce the young lady beside her."This

    Suzanne's ears were covered by Nathan, but she could still catch snippets of Lindsey's talk. Lindsey was going on about old stories loudly with a lot of exaggeration."Back in the day, you guys were all focused on your careers, and I was the one raising your kids. Tay had a tough time at school. He got bullied and even wet himself out of fear. I was there to counsel and hug him to sleep every night."Toby went through a rough patch after a breakup. He even wanted to jump off a building! I was the one who begged him not to. "Dukie loved flaunting his stuff and had always asked me for money to buy expensive brands. I had to give him whatever he wanted because I cared about him!"And then there's Dan—always rebellious and causing trouble. He hung out with the wrong crowd, got into fights, and skipped classes. I was the one tirelessly guiding and influencing him."Lindsey pointed at Nathan and continued, "And you, Nate, you were still hooked on milk at three. Every day, after your mo

    Lindsey couldn't stop talking about how much effort she put into raising the Morrison brothers. Suddenly, a loud noise outside caught everyone's attention. Taylor, Tobias, and Duke hurried in with their wives, looking concerned.They quickly asked, "Where's Dad? How is he?"With a big smile, Lindsey replied, "Your dad is here, enjoying his lunch."Gary was confused when he saw his sons and daughters-in-law looking anxious. "What's happening?"Taylor shot Lindsey an angry look and grumbled, "Aunt Lindsey told us you had a stroke and died at home."Frustrated, Gary slammed the table and shouted, "Lin! Can't you tell a joke without making it sound like a curse? You wished a stroke and death upon me at home?"Lindsey rushed over and gripped Gary's arm. "Gary, I was just joking and no harm intended. Don't be upset. Let me ease your mind."Gary felt helpless, and an awkward atmosphere settled among everyone. They were eventually forced into sitting down for a meal together.Lindsey

    Layla was caught off guard by Nathan's protective side for his wife. She nervously apologized, "Nathan, I'm sorry for talking too much."Suzanne was surprised and grateful for Nathan standing up for her. She suddenly cared less about what others thought of her.After all, dealing with Duke and Layla's condescending attitude had become routine for Suzanne.Lindsey was in shock and blurted out, "Wait, she's my mom's nurse? Oh no! Her reputation is bad, and she's from a rough background. Nate, marrying her is embarrassing, don't you think?"Nathan's face turned red with anger as he rose to his feet. "Say that again, I dare you."Lindsey felt a rush of fear. Her legs gave way, and she sank onto the couch. Nathan's unexpected fury left her in a state of panic. It was a side of him she had never seen before.Elyse's contempt deepened on the sidelines, and her sense of superiority grew stronger. Initially lacking confidence, she now saw herself as far superior to Suzanne, who was from a

    Wendy couldn't help but tease, "Oh, come on, you can't handle the idea that Suzanne might be better than you, can you? I got this painting verified by experts, and it's an authentic piece by Inkwell."Suzanne's an artist who makes millions for charity."Taylor chimed in with a nod, "Yup, it's legit."Layla's face flushed with anger, but she couldn't come up with a comeback. Suzanne felt a bit awkward about Wendy confidently stating something she wasn't entirely certain about.On the sidelines, Nathan smirked as someone in the family was finally recognizing Suzanne's talents.Lindsey huffed in annoyance, "Elyse is a trained artist, unlike some who paint casually and sell their art for millions."Wendy fired back, "Even casual paintings can make millions. I wonder if your goddaughter's artwork can sell for any money."Lindsey was left without words.Taylor chuckled as he rolled up the artwork. "Nowadays, there are so many college students, but their qualifications aren't that imp

    Suzanne felt the pressure of the moment. Wendy strolled by Nathan and shot him a reassuring glance.Taking Suzanne by the hand, Wendy said, "Come on, Suzanne, play a birthday song for her.""I can't, Wendy," Suzanne replied in a hushed tone.Wendy whispered, "Don't worry. The piano has the song recorded. Just play it, and I'll manage the rest. You got this. Don't let Lindsey think you can't do it."Suzanne got pulled toward the piano. She cast a helpless look back at Nathan, who sat on the couch and observed quietly. He had faith in Wendy.In her three years of amnesia, Suzanne sat at the piano for the first time and found that the keys felt strangely familiar.Wendy slyly triggered the birthday song on the piano and reassured Suzanne, "Relax, there won't be any sound even if you play the piano. The music will play automatically."Sensing Wendy's trickery, Layla rose from her seat and exclaimed, "Hold on."All attention shifted to Layla as she approached Suzanne.Layla pulled

    Wendy turned around and said sarcastically to Lindsey, "Aunt Lindsey, is it so difficult to admit that Suzanne is better than your darling Elyse?""I…" Lindsey was at a loss for words.Nathan slowly stood up and went to hold Suzanne's hand. "Come on. Let's head back to our room."Suzanne felt uneasy but she still let Nathan lead her away.Wendy began arguing with Lindsey again.Layla was fuming. She went over to the couch, feeling angry, and kicked Duke. "Had your fill yet? What are you waiting for? Let's go!"Duke returned to his senses and hurriedly followed Layla out.Tobias and Cheryl shared a look of disbelief. They found it hard to believe that it was Suzanne, someone they looked down on the most, who had played the piano just now. Meanwhile, Gary was quietly talking to Florence."Who knew Suzanne would be so talented, darling! My mother really has a good eye!" Gary exclaimed.Florence nodded. "She really does. I was shocked too.

    Suzanne saw how cautious Nathan was being and asked curiously, "Nathan, the previous DNA report was pretty credible too. Why did you still suspect that I'm not Suzanne York?"Awe and surprise filled Nathan's eyes. "A woman who doesn't know how to cook or do chores ends up being skilled in the arts, in playing piano, and even flower arrangements. "Not only that, but she's knowledgeable in chemical science and foreign languages. She also enjoys increasing her knowledge by reading books. "Someone like her may not necessarily be from a well-off family, but she definitely wouldn't be from a poor background."Suzanne thought Nathan's rationale was logical. She suddenly realized that his way of thinking was pretty different from others. Nathan would always look beneath the surface level.So many people had a stereotypical impression of Suzanne after hearing about her past. They thought of her as a sleazy, immoral woman. Yet Nathan had always been respectful to her. He never attacked

    Jasper became concerned as Imogen placed her hand over her heart. He asked, "Are you experiencing any chest pains? Have you consulted a doctor? I can take you for a check-up."Imogen reassured him, gently holding his arm. "Jasper, I'm fine. I'm just trying to figure out how to balance my future family and career."Jasper smiled knowingly, gently patting her head before pulling her into an embrace. He recognized her uniqueness—her drive to pursue her career and showcase her skills and talents. The thought of being a stay-at-home mother or merely a trophy wife held no appeal for her whatsoever.Holding her close, Jasper murmured, "Imogen, have you forgotten about your husband's financial prowess?"Imogen couldn't suppress a chuckle.Jasper reassured her of his commitment, "As long as you're on board, I can arrange a driver to drive you to work, an assistant to handle all your tasks, and you won't have to worry about anything.

    After returning from her journey across the globe, Imogen headed straight to the hospital. During her travels, she started noticing subtle changes in her body—nausea, fatigue, and a stronger need for rest. Her hunch was confirmed when tests revealed she was pregnant.She felt a blend of anticipation and apprehension. The idea of being pregnant raised thoughts of focusing on family life and raising children. Yet, she valued her career and was steadily demonstrating her skills. She wasn't ready to give it up just yet.When Imogen arrived home and stepped through the front door, she found Gregory and Carol were there. They had just returned from their trip as well, bringing back gifts. "Hi, Mom, Dad," Imogen greeted them.Still excited about their travels, Gregory and Carol eagerly recounted their adventures to Jasper.When Jasper heard Imogen's voice, he quickly stood and walked over to her, taking her hand. "Imogen, I woke up early and didn't see you around. Where did you go?"

    Jasper thought the idea was brilliant and agreed, "Let's plan our route and leave next week."Imogen gently pushed him back, her hands on his chest. "Sure, but let me get up first. We'll map out our journey, set a schedule, and go on a trip for our wedding."Jasper took her wrists and lifted them above the pillow. "Let's discuss this tomorrow. I have some pressing matters to attend to at the moment."Imogen was about to respond when Jasper leaned in and kissed her deeply. Their lips intertwined with passion.…A week later, Imogen received another call from Yulia's lawyer, who conveyed Yulia's apologies and expressed her desire for Imogen's forgiveness. Yulia also requested Imogen to intervene with Nathan on her behalf.Imogen decided to ignore the request. She believed in the fairness of the law. It reminded her of Zoey, who had fraudulently claimed her degree and ended up in prison at Jasper's behest.As for Yulia, she had orchestrated attacks on Gregory, caused Carol to lose

    Imogen's heart raced as she slowly hugged Jasper, her voice bashful yet resolute. "Jasper, you'll always have a place in my heart."Jasper tensed slightly, his senses on high alert. He met her eyes. A glint of anticipation sparked in his gaze as he eagerly murmured, "Say it one more time. Say it—""I love you, Jasper," Imogen said gently.Jasper's eyes immediately filled with tears as he held Imogen tightly, his body shaking. Overwhelmed by emotion, he could only whisper her name into her ear. "Imogen… Imogen…""Do you love me?" Imogen asked, her voice tinged with shyness.Jasper frowned. "I do love you. Haven't you always known?""I still want to hear it," Imogen said."I love you. I love you with all my heart," Jasper declared, gazing at her with intense passion and unwavering resolve.Feeling a bit stiff from his tight hug, Imogen gently pushed him away. "I love you, too, but I must get up and go to work.""Not today," Jasper responded, scooping and carrying her back to bed

    "If it's a gift, why not accept it?" Mila whispered.Gregory quickly took the check, looking unsure of his next move.Once his money was accepted, Oakley assumed the issue was settled. He took Yulia's hand and began to leave the ward, saying, "Well, I'll leave with Yulia for now."Still feeling resentful, Yulia glanced back and shot Imogen a glare as they departed.The ward fell silent. Feeling uneasy, Gregory and Carol exchanged anxious glances."Nate, we can't go easy on them," Mila whispered.Nathan smiled knowingly. He took Mila's hand, gently caressed it, and said quietly, "Don't worry. I'll ensure our in-laws get the justice they deserve."Mila nodded, feeling reassured. Gregory and Carol, who were listening nearby, felt deeply moved and grateful.Since Gregory was injured and confined to bed, the meeting between Jasper's and Imogen's parents ended earlier than expected. After saying goodbye to their parents, Jasper and Imogen headed home. On their way home, Jasper felt

    Yulia was renowned for her boldness and strong-willed nature. Aware of Oakley's wealth, influence, and dual reputation in legal and illicit circles, she feared no one and held a contemptuous attitude toward others, including senior military figures."You need to apologize to Ms. Imogen immediately," Oakley whispered urgently.Pointing at Imogen, Yulia muttered irritably, "Her? Oh, please! If anyone owes an apology, it's her to me."Oakley wiped his forehead nervously, trembling with anxiety. Everyone's expressions around them darkened visibly. Jasper suppressed his anger; his hands clenched into fists.Before he could speak, Yulia grumbled, "Jay, you blocked me before understanding everything, and then you terminated our contract. That's just too much."Mila couldn't shake her worry for Jasper. If he couldn't manage his relationship with Yulia appropriately, it could severely impact his marriage. Concerned that he might not handle it well, Mila intervened. "Ms. Gibson, please resp

    Carol no longer believed the portrayal of wealthy women on television.Jasper took Imogen's hand, and they sat down on the couch together, feeling anxious. It was their parents' first meeting, and the hospital setting added to the tension. If things went wrong and their relationship soured, their future would look bleak.Imogen was particularly anxious. Her palms were growing clammy. Jasper pulled out a tissue and gently wiped her palms before reassuringly saying, "There's no need to be nervous. My parents are easygoing."Offering an awkward smile, Imogen teased him, whispering, "You seem more nervous than I am, don't you think?"Jasper chuckled but offered no reply. Dealing with Gregory and Carol was sure to be a bit daunting.Typically reserved around strangers, Nathan found it difficult to start a conversation at that moment. Meanwhile, Gregory and Carol felt apprehensive and cautious, worried that any misstep could upset the Morrisons and cause problems for Imogen.Sensing th

    Mila approached them with a bouquet, smiling. "Yes, we're in the right place. We've come to visit you, our in-laws."The term "in-laws" caught Gregory off guard as he lay in the bed. Despite his injuries, he quickly propped himself up, struggling to sit upright. Carol, equally surprised, cautiously accepted the gift from Nathan's outstretched hands.Jasper and Imogen took the next elevator, so they hadn't reached the ward yet.Nathan quickly set his things down and hurried over, gently placing a reassuring hand on Gregory's shoulder. "You're injured. Don't get up. Just lie down and rest.""General Morrison, I…" Gregory's voice faltered in distress.Carol's hands trembled uncontrollably as she glanced nervously at Mila, worried that Mila and Nathan had overheard her argument with Gregory.Nathan spoke in a gentle tone, "Please, don't call me General Morrison. It sounds too formal. You both are older than me. Just call me Nathan, and I'll call you two by name in return."Mila came

    In the hospital ward, Gregory had been asleep for over an hour when the nurse woke him to change his medication.After the change, Carol peeled an orange for him to eat. They shared the segments, chatting idly."Imogen really picked a good husband. Even these oranges he bought are unusually sweet," Carol said, marveling at the oranges. Gregory glanced at the orange and said, "They must be expensive.""Yes, they're sold by the piece in big supermarkets. Also, they're more expensive than beef and lamb," Carol said before eating another sweet segment.Gregory pondered for a moment. Then he curiously asked, "Someone ruined our house's floor. Do you think Jasper would help us repair it?"Carol shot him a look and replied, "Listen, don't burden Imogen with this. Don't even bring it up.""Why would it burden Imogen? With Jasper's wealth, this is nothing.""Enough," Carol snapped. "That's his business. No matter how poor we are, we shouldn't ask for what isn't ours." "You're too stu
