Nathan strolled up to Suzanne with a darkened gaze and suddenly leaned down.

Suzanne instinctively leaned back and landed on the bed. She could feel her heart racing out of her chest.

Nathan knelt on the bed and placed his hands beside her as he peered down at her.

His masculine scent flooded over Suzanne and her breaths turned erratic. She was both nervous and confused.

Nathan teased playfully, "Madam, do you prefer to top or bottom for me?"

"That's not what I meant." Suzanne paled. Why did she sense some seriousness behind his playful words?

"You… you seem unhappy—ever since I exited the lab; and you refuse to talk to me." Suzanne swallowed hard.

Nathan smirked and muttered, "The successful extraction of pure Azurium not only saved me a chunk of money but also pushed our technology forward. Of course, I'm happy."

"Are you doubting my identity again, then? Is that why you're acting like this?" Suzanne asked.

"I have never stopped doubting your identity." Nathan hummed.

    Suzanne shot Sally a cold look. "What do you want?"Sally shrugged. "Nothing. I just wanted to ask when are you planning to divorce Nate?"Suzanne brushed past her. "We don't plan on getting a divorce."Sally snorted and hurriedly blocked Suzanne's path. "Do you seriously think you're worthy to be by his side? Who do you think you are? You'll only embarrass Nate if he's seen with you. The person Nate likes is me. You're the third wheel in our relationship."Suzanne quelled her anger and explained calmly, "Three years ago, Grandma told Nathan to marry me. But he decided to wait for your return and rejected Grandma's decision."Sally was surprised by this.Suzanne continued, "A year had passed between your return and the day Nathan and I got married, right? If he liked you, why didn't he marry you? Why did he choose to marry me instead?""That's..." Sally was at a loss for words.Suzanne added, "That's because he had no intention of marrying you."Sally stomped her foot in frust

    The next moment, Sally appeared in front of Suzanne. She grabbed the latter's wrist and faked being pushed down the stairs."Stop!" Sally screamed as she rolled herself down the stairs. She eventually collided with the stone statue beneath the stairs.Blood instantly poured from Sally's forehead."Murder…" Sally cried and crawled toward the soldiers with a terrified look. "Help me! Suzanne wants to kill me!"The soldiers quickly helped Sally up and gaped at Suzanne in bewilderment.Suzanne was dumbfounded. Was Sally falsely accusing her again? Suzanne was familiar with Sally's tricks. But the latter was going to more extreme lengths each time!Sally held her bleeding forehead and trembled behind the soldiers. She cried out pitifully, "Quick, call the cops! Suzanne is trying to kill me."At this point, more onlookers gathered around them.Everyone knew who Suzanne was. They didn't dare to scold her or call the cops on her.…On the highway, Lucas, who was in the passenger se

    Everyone turned toward the sound.Nathan strode forward angrily. Behind him were his left and right-hand men—Cole and Lucas."General Morrison." The soldiers quickly saluted him. With Nathan around, their morale soared.Suzanne who was behind the soldiers had remained calm throughout the ordeal. However, her eyes instantly watered when she saw Nathan. Right now, her heart was a mess.She wasn't afraid of false accusations nor was she concerned about others' opinions. But she didn't want Nathan to misunderstand or hate her.Nathan had always been a man among men. The fact became even clearer as he stood in front of Morgan. His figure demanded respect, and Morgan found his anger dissipating at Nathan's presence. He lowered his voice. "General Morrison, there's been a violation of the law. I'm only here to apprehend the criminal. Please tell your men to lower their weapons and hand her over. Don't make this difficult for me."Nathan cast a cold glance at Sally who was standing

    Nathan hummed. "Give Madam the seat."Lucas nodded. "Of course."Morgan blinked at them awkwardly.Sally was flabbergasted as she watched Lucas bring the chair up to Suzanne. He even helped her into the seat. Suzanne herself was surprised by this.Sally stomped her foot in frustration. "Nate, I'm the one who got hurt! Do you not have a heart?"Nathan completely ignored her.Soon, a team of IT personnel arrived with their tools. They swiftly set up their computer and connected a projector before starting the recovery of the surveillance footage.Cole approached Morgan with his head held high. "Our base has the best team of IT personnel in Norvania. They could even decode the most intricate computer codes, let alone retrieve some surveillance footage.Right now, anxiousness was finally catching up to Sally. She covered her forehead and leaned against a soldier weakly. She pleaded softly, "Nate, I can't take it anymore. My head hurts. Could you please take me to the hospital?"Na

    Sally paled and a look of bewilderment etched across her face. When the crowd realized that Suzanne had been wrongly accused and framed, they grew agitated and turned to Sally with fierce gazes.Sally rushed to Nathan and clutched his arm. She wiped away her tears pitifully. "Nate, please let me explain."Nathan angrily shook her off. "Go explain it to Officer Chadwell.""I didn't do it on purpose, Nate." Sally sobbed."Cole, escort her away," Nathan hissed and turned away coldly.Suzanne slowly stood up and shot a look of gratitude and longing at Nathan's retreating figure.He left as quickly as he came. Suzanne didn't even get to thank him.Cole approached Morgan and said firmly, "Officer Chadwell, please have your men apprehend the criminal who falsely accused Madam and leave the base."Sally ran up to Cole and pleaded through tears, "Cole, can you tell Nate to give me a chance to explain myself?"Cole frowned. "Ms. Hoffis, General Morrison had given you the chance to dro

    Suzanne's gentle call was enough to send shivers down Nathan's spine.He didn't meet her eyes, afraid he wouldn't be able to resist the urge to embrace her. "Yes, I just got back." Nathan hummed softly as he continued to bandage her hand. "There's some blood around the wound. Have you applied the medicine?"Suzanne lay motionless and glanced at her injured hand from the corner of her eyes. "Emily came over to help me with it earlier.""What did Sally say to you?" Nathan's voice deepened.Suzanne stiffened and her face turned pale.Nathan furrowed his brows. "Can't you tell me?"Suzanne slowly turned to him as tears welled up in her eyes. "I don't want to talk about it."Sally's words were too much for Suzanne. Suzanne didn't know how to face her past. She couldn't believe she was once depraved, heartless, and willing to commit such inhumane acts. Sally claimed Suzanne had killed a child by aborting it when it was seven months old. Suzanne was a murderer, an evil witch.Na

    At 4:00 am, it was dead silent outside the police station. Sally walked out of the station with Oliver and got into a luxury car. Sally fastened the seatbelt with an annoyed expression. "Why are you so late?"Oliver sneered. "It takes time to fly here.""Did Grandpa find out?" Sally rolled her eyes."He did." Oliver let out a sigh."Ignore him. Take me to the base." Sally huffed.Oliver gripped the steering wheel tightly until the veins on his neck bulged. "This is your last warning. Don't fucking touch her."Sally glared at Oliver. "It's all because you didn't kill her back then that I'm in so much trouble right now."Oliver snorted sarcastically. "As expected, you can't conceal your disparities any longer."Sally gritted her teeth. "What the fuck do you mean by that, Oliver?""You can't hold a candle to her anymore after just two years. She used to be a crybaby and always acted coquettishly around Nathan. But that was because she was still young back then. Now that she's

    Sally broke into a fit of coughs after she was released. Gasping, she took in deep breaths. Panic washed over her and she didn't dare to anger Oliver again.Oliver continued driving as if nothing happened. He muttered calmly, "You're not allowed on base anymore. Dad wants me to take you home. Also, she must never appear in front of my parents.""Why?" Sally asked timidly.Oliver huffed. "Older folks usually rely on instincts to judge people. And Vera Cross is a prime example of this. They don't care about evidence or scientific proof. They wouldn't even believe you if you presented them with a DNA report."Sally rolled her eyes. "That old witch is just confused because of dementia."Oliver glanced coldly at Sally. He felt uneasy. Some people were born exceptional and were as bright as a diamond no matter the circumstances. But some could never hide their stench—no matter how much they tried to cover it.…The sky gradually brightened.Suzanne felt an unbearable itch on her

    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. When you return home, there will be maids and me to ens

    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
