"If I had known this earlier, perhaps you wouldn't have encountered such a big trouble today," Bà Edith remarked. After saying that, she suddenly increased the pressure on her fingers while pinching Bianca's cheek. When she released her finger, Bianca's cheek had turned noticeably red. Although she gritted her teeth due to the pain, Bianca still endured it and continued to smile. "Well, now that Bà Edith has said that, I can be at ease," Bianca replied. Once Bà Edith had vented her anger, she became utterly cheerful. She gracefully turned around, heading towards the iron gate, with her car following behind. The gate closed, leaving only Bianca outside. The forced smile on her face disappeared instantly, replaced by weariness. What she had just said came from the depths of her heart. Compared to her family, giving up her pride to kneel before Bà Edith was truly insignificant. Her adoptive parents had once saved her life; if possible, she would risk everything to protect them. Bianc
Mrs. Edith's heart sank as Zachary questioned her with a cold and stern expression. She realized the situation was not good."Well, how was this discovered and reported in the news?" She replied, trying to maintain a somewhat composed demeanor, though her smile seemed forced.It was only then that Zachary's face cracked into a smile, but it was a smile that grew colder by the moment as if he had been doused with a bucket of ice water."Why didn't your son, Adam, inform you about this afterward?" The conversation abruptly shifted to Adam, and Mrs. Edith's face turned paler.She was no fool and could naturally hear Zachary's words' implications. "...Are you saying this information came from Adam?"Zachary neither nodded nor shook his head. Mrs. Megan and Lorena sensed something was amiss and frowned at Mrs. Edith.Mrs. Edith suddenly felt like a pack of vicious wolves surrounded her, making it difficult for her to escape. "Impossible! Adam wouldn't do this! Zachary, are you sure... are
Lorena blinked and cooed, "What's wrong with a little misunderstanding between us? I also want her to give up! Meeting her makes me hate her!"Zachary's eyes grew darker, and his words became even more indifferent. "The situation in the company has just stabilized, and I don't want any more baseless rumors."Lorena, unhappy, looked at him for a while but saw no sign of him softening his stance. Angrily, she turned and left, muttering to herself.By the time they finished dinner and returned home, it was already dark outside. There was no sign of Bianca at the gate.Lorena cheerfully said, "Ha ha, she's finally gone!"Zachary, dissatisfied, glanced at where Bianca's car had been parked earlier. That damn woman had no perseverance in seeking help when disaster loomed. This was the end of their family.Bianca didn't dare to return to the villa, fearing to face the gaze of her family, especially Mrs. Mirabel. When she returned to her small room exhausted, she felt someone was inside.Mrs.
Taking advantage of the moment when Lorena was distracted by her conversation, Bianca angrily pushed her away and finally managed to break free from her relentless grip."What's wrong with you? You're exhausted from fighting and still want to continue?"After pushing her away, Bianca was also very tired. She stood beside her car, breathing heavily, and leaned against it for support.Lorena stumbled back a few steps after being pushed but quickly regained her balance. Without hesitation, she lunged again, but this time, it wasn't at Bianca but at her car door."Come here!"Bianca realized what she was about to do, but it was too late to stop her. Lorena reached her hand through the car window, grabbed the insulated lunchbox Bianca had placed on the seat, unscrewed the lid, and poured the entire still-warm soup into Bianca's car.Bianca anxiously reached for the insulated container, but just as she did, Lorena turned back and shoved it into her. At that moment, the remaining soup and ch
Lorena, crying and pulling on Zachary's shirt, exclaimed, "Zachary! I was bullied like that, and you can't be indifferent like her!"Zachary inwardly cursed as he felt the blame directed at him. He coldly pulled his shirt sleeve away from Lorena's grip. "Do you have nothing better to do? Why are you provoking her?"Seeing Zachary's frustration and hearing his impatient tone, Lorena's tears flowed even more. "Where did I provoke her? She had malicious intent towards me, don't you understand? I wanted to help you deal with this annoyance. Don't you want to get away from her? Oh my God, I never thought you would be so heartless towards me..."Zachary, growing more distant and detached, stated, "Even if she is my problem, that doesn't mean I want others to come and solve it for me. In the future, please stay away from her. Did you hear me?"Lorena failed to perceive the warnings in his words and thought he was concerned about her. She quickly wiped her tears and, with an air of confidence
Zachary's voice was even colder than ice as he spoke, "Bianca, it seems like you want to play this little game in front of me every time."Bianca remained defiant, taking a few more steps forward and closing her eyes, seemingly unafraid of his threats."Do you think I won't do it?" Zachary's eyes were icy and stern, his grip on the gun tightening.Bianca, with her eyes still closed, appeared unfazed. This act of defiance only fueled Zachary's anger. He believed she was pretending, trying to challenge him in front of everyone. So, he had a plan in mind, a ruthless one. With a cold expression, he prepared to squeeze the trigger, fully expecting to see her cower in fear.But just as he was about to pull the trigger, Diana saw the sudden change and shouted in panic. It was too late to stop him, but she desperately reached out and bumped into Zachary's arm, hoping to shift the gun's aim.The bullets were fired rapidly from the gun's muzzle, narrowly missing Bianca's forehead and leaving a
Lorena cried out in frustration beside them. "What good does this woman have? She doesn't deserve him like this! Don't forget how she treated you before."What left her utterly dismayed was that her pleas fell on deaf ears. Zachary remained entangled with that wretched woman.Diana kept trying to intervene, and with nothing left to do, Lorena picked up a stone from the ground and viciously threw it at Zachary's back. Then she covered her face and ran towards the iron gate in tears.There was no need to say that she had probably gone to see Mrs. Megan and cried.Diana clapped her hands and decided to withdraw. The two people in front of her had nothing to worry about because, in any case, no one would die shortly.She continued to stand there, but she was watching the excitement. Her little one might not like others watching this kind of excitement.Zachary had kissed her for too long in front of a large audience, and Bianca couldn't keep her composure any longer. No matter how hard s
Mrs. Megan had listened to Lorena cry for a while, so she naturally knew what was happening.With a sigh, she said, "Quickly go change your clothes. You don't look anything like yourself."When Lorena saw the oil stain on Zachary's clothes, she remembered the kiss between him and Bianca outside, which only made her cry harder.Mrs. Megan gently patted her back. "Alright, dear, these things are not worth your tears. Don't cry anymore."Lorena understood what Mrs. Megan meant. Around Zachary, there had never been a shortage of women, and it had nothing to do with whom he slept with but purely his physical needs as an adult man. Initially, she didn't pay much attention to it, thinking it wouldn't matter after they married.But...After all these years, she had never successfully climbed into his bed, yet this woman had taken the lead! Moreover, no matter how it looked on the surface, this woman was different from the others in Zachary's eyes. How could she not feel angry?"Aunt Megan, it
