"M-Ms. Kinsey, please come this way," the maid said."Alright," Nyla replied.As they walked to the living room, the maid couldn't help but glance at Nyla from the corner of her eye, filled with disbelief and awe.Was this really the same Ms. Kinsey as before?Her face hadn't changed much, yet after the makeover, she looked as if she could pass for a celebrity on TV.The maid was certain that the moment Nyla made her entrance, she would cause quite a stir. Even the widely praised Delia would pale in comparison.Nyla, seemingly oblivious to the maid's scrutiny, followed her in silence.A few minutes later, they entered the living room.As soon as they stepped inside, the maid noticed more and more eyes turning their way. No, to be precise—all eyes were on Nyla.She walked past without sparing anyone a glance, calmly following the maid to where Emerald stood.Emerald was slightly taken aback at the sight of Nyla, a complex expression crossing her face. Though she didn't want to

Nyla nodded. "Yeah, go ahead and speak louder if you want—draw everyone's attention. Let's see if Ms. Kinsey yells at me or you.""You!" Delia's face turned red with anger. She knew all too well that if she ruined tonight's banquet, Emerald would definitely not let her off easy.Her expression darkened as she realized that and said coldly, "Just wait for it."With that, she turned and walked away.A cold glint flickered in Nyla's eyes while watching her leave.Emerald favored this daughter of hers too much. Otherwise, how could she be so foolish as to think she could threaten Nyla's position?Nyla picked up a drink and sat down, hoping for a moment of peace. However, she had barely settled in before a man approached, striking up a conversation.Not in the mood for his obvious flattery, Nyla responded coldly and quickly sent him on his way.As soon as one man left, another took his place, buzzing around her like a fly.The relentless attention only made her more annoyed.It se

Darcy had been with Edward for many years and had always supported him. Secretly, he had grown close to Edward's illegitimate son, hoping to help him become the next head of the Nixons. This had made him and Emerald like water and fire.If the person behind Nyla was Darcy, he certainly had the ability to cover her tracks.However, there was always a flaw in every plan.The dress was the biggest mistake.Darcy noticed Emerald's gaze and turned toward her.When he saw the coldness in her eyes, he smiled and walked over. "Emerald, why are you staring at me like that? Do you have something against me?"Emerald sneered. "Darcy, don't you have anything against me?"Darcy chuckled. "It's your daughter's banquet today. I'm a guest here. Let's put aside our past grudges and enjoy a wonderful evening together."Emerald was about to reply when Darcy's phone suddenly rang.His expression changed when he saw the number on the screen. He glanced at Emerald, then stepped aside to answer, del

As soon as Darcy finished speaking, dozens of men in black suddenly surrounded Emerald and her people, cutting off any escape.Emerald's expression darkened, her eyes burning with anger and frustration as she glared at Darcy. "Darcy, do you have to go against me at every turn?"Darcy sneered. "Emerald, you and I have always been on opposite sides. If you want to take Edward, fine—just as long as the people you brought can defeat mine."His tone dripped with contempt, his confidence unmistakable—he had no doubt that Emerald's men were no match for his own.The standoff stretched on until Emerald clenched her teeth and said coldly, "Darcy, you're going to regret this."Darcy smirked. "Instead of wasting time threatening me, you should focus on keeping your position as the head of the Nixons. Once Edward recovers, you won't have a say in the family's affairs anymore."With that, he turned and left with Mary and Edward.As their car merged into traffic, the men in black swiftly disp

Nyla wasn't sure of Andre's connection to Emerald and the others, so she remained cautious."I prefer quiet places," she answered.Andre nodded. "Same here. The banquet is a bit too lively for me. I don't quite fit in."Nyla observed him discreetly. Anyone with an invitation to the estate had to be part of Emerald's social circle, which meant Andre was either incredibly wealthy or influential.Still, she had no intention of getting to know him further. She stood up. "Mr. Quinnett, I have something to do. Excuse me."Andre chuckled. "Alright, Ms. Kinsey. I have a feeling we'll meet again."Nyla didn't take his words seriously and left.When she returned to the main hall, the banquet was still in full swing.The room was packed with high-profile business figures she had only seen in news reports, as well as internationally renowned musicians and actors.Emerald's social standing was exceptional—otherwise, such an elite crowd wouldn't have attended.None of it interested Nyla, n

Filipe Gable, the butler, hesitated before speaking. "Madam, isn't this a little inappropriate?"After all, Nyla was still Emerald's daughter and, technically, one of the masters of the estate. It wasn't proper for a service staff to unlock the door to Nyla's room with a spare key.Emerald hadn't originally intended to take things this far, but Nyla was being uncooperative—so she only had herself to blame."Just do as I say!" Filipe let out a quiet sigh before nodding. "Understood."Filipe left the hall, taking a few staff members with him. He stopped outside Nyla's bedroom and knocked lightly before speaking through the door. "Ms. Kinsey, please come out. If you refuse, I will have no choice but to unlock the door with the spare key. Please don't make things difficult for me."Behind him, one of the maids frowned in confusion. "Why are you treating her with so much respect? It's obvious Madam doesn't care about her at all. Anyone can see that she despises her."Filipe shot the

Had Emerald actually kidnapped Harrison and brought him here?!Emerald's smile deepened. "Don't look so horrified. He's not in great health, so I simply brought him here to recuperate. Don't worry—so long as you behave, he'll be just fine."A buzzing filled Nyla's mind. She hadn't expected Emerald to be so utterly ruthless.She wanted to explode right then and there and rip off Emerald's mask before everyone—but she couldn't.The only reason Emerald hadn't harmed Harrison yet was that Nyla hadn't made a scene. If she exposed everything now, she would lose her value as a pawn, and Harrison would become disposable.At this point, Emerald didn't even see her as her own daughter anymore. Why would she spare an ex-husband she'd divorced years ago?Not only could Nyla not fight back, but she had to suppress her disgust and play along with Emerald's act of motherly love.She clenched and loosened her fists at her sides. After a few seconds, she forced a smile. "If anything happens to m

Nyla had a good impression of Filipe.Filipe quickly waved his hand. "It's just my duty, Ms. Kinsey. You should go now."Nyla said nothing more and turned toward the estate's entrance.Filipe sighed quietly as he watched her disappear into the distance.They were all Emerald's children, yet while Brian and Delia could act spoiled and willful around their mother, Nyla was met with nothing but disdain, forced into things she never wanted.The contrast was striking, and Filipe couldn't help but feel a twinge of sympathy for her.…More than half an hour later, the car pulled up in front of a private nursing home.Because prior arrangements had already been made, someone was waiting the moment Nyla stepped out, ready to lead her to Harrison's ward.When she pushed open the door and saw him lying in bed, she subconsciously tightened her grip on the doorknob.She had wanted to believe Emerald was lying. But seeing Harrison here, weak and confined, she could no longer deceive hersel

"That's more like it," Valarie chirped.Nyla couldn't help but say, "Valarie, stop bullying Brandon all the time."Brandon turned to her and sighed dramatically. "Aunt Nyla, since you mentioned it, I have to say something. You have no idea what I've been through these past six months, I— Ouch!"Before he could finish, Valarie pinched his waist. "What was that? Tell me, Brandon. Have you been unhappy these past six months?""N-No... I've been very happy..." Brandon winced."Have I bullied you then?" Valarie pressed."No..." Brandon murmured.Valarie huffed. "If not, then keep your mouth shut, or Nyla will really think I mistreat you." Brandon gave her a pitiful look, lowering his head like a scolded puppy.Before they married, Valarie had been gentle and beautiful in his eyes. But after marriage, he realized how wrong he had been.Gentle and beautiful? All an illusion.If he stayed out drinking and came home late, he'd have to choose between sleeping on the couch or outside.

Taking Mia to work was exhausting, but every time she smiled at Damon, it made everything worth it."She'll be fine. Didn't you just say she loves us both equally? She'll cry for a bit, but if you stop taking her to the office, she'll get used to being at home," Nyla reasoned.Seeing Nyla's determination, Damon finally relented. "Alright, we'll try it tomorrow. But if she cries too much, you'll have to take her to the office.""Deal!" Nyla said....After getting ready for work the next morning, Damon kissed Mia on the cheek and headed for the door.As soon as he changed his shoes at the entrance, she reached her little arms toward him, asking to be held. She had grown so accustomed to going to the office with him every day that it had become a reflex.Damon glanced at Nyla. "Nyla, maybe today we should—"Nyla interrupted, "Nope. You go to work. And if you're free for lunch, don't bother coming home. If you need to work late, no rush to come back either."Damon chuckled. "You'

"Brandon, from now on, I'm entrusting Valarie to you," Jonathan said. "She's been spoiled by us and can be a little willful at times. I hope you'll be patient with her in your marriage, and I wish you both a lifetime of happiness together."Brandon held Valarie's hand tightly, his expression solemn. "Dad, don't worry. I'll cherish her with all my heart."Jonathan nodded, stepping down from the stage. He discreetly wiped away his tears.After exchanging vows and rings, Valarie and Brandon sealed their love with a kiss, surrounded by cheers and applause.…On the way home from the wedding, Nyla glanced at Damon. "I saw Mr. Weir wipe his tears so many times today. When Bunny gets married, you'll definitely be just like him, sneaking off somewhere to cry."Damon's grip on the steering wheel tightened slightly, his gaze sharpening. "No one will ever be good enough for my daughter. If she never gets married, we'll take care of her for the rest of our lives."Nyla raised an eyebrow and

"Of course! When's the wedding?" Nyla asked.Valarie shook her head. "We haven't decided yet. He'll come to my house in a few days to discuss it with my parents."Nyla raised an eyebrow. "You're about to get really busy. Planning a wedding alone will take a lot of work.""Yeah, I'm already getting a headache just thinking about it," Valarie replied....For the next few months, Valarie was completely consumed by wedding preparations and work, barely having time to catch her breath.The wedding was set for August 8th, leaving them with less than six months to finalize everything.Valarie even traveled abroad several times to meet with designers and ensure her wedding dress was exactly what she wanted.Beyond the dress, she and Brandon spent hours discussing every detail—from the venue to the wedding favors and bouquet choices....After months of nonstop planning, the big day finally arrived.Valarie was already up, getting her hair and makeup done at 2:00 a.m.By the time N

Valarie looked up and saw the approaching glow.When the figure finally stopped in front of her, she realized it was Brandon.Frowning, she asked, "Where did you go? I waited so long for you. And what are you hiding behind your back?"Brandon flipped his phone face-down on the table, revealing the flowers he had hidden. Then he dropped to one knee."Valarie, I had planned a perfect proposal for you, but when you asked earlier about the meaning of wearing a wedding dress, I knew I couldn't wait any longer."Before I met you, my life revolved solely around work. I never paused for anyone—I never cared whether the sun was rising or setting, or if the moon was full or waning. But everything changed after I met you."I began cherishing the thought of greeting you every morning, sharing meals with you, and standing by your side for life."Valarie, I want every morning to begin with us waking up together, and every night to end with us holding each other as we fall asleep."Finally, B

Of course, every time they visited Valarie's home, Phoebe would subtly—or sometimes not so subtly—hint that they should get married.Brandon had always assumed Valarie wasn't interested in marriage since she never responded to those hints. He hadn't considered proposing.But today, seeing her so excited about picking out baby clothes made him start to imagine a future with her—building a family, raising a child.That thought filled his heart with warmth.After more than three hours of shopping, they finally left the mall, their arms full of bags.Once they loaded everything into the car, Valarie turned to Brandon. "I'm starving. Let's grab something to eat."Brandon nodded. "Sure. What are you in the mood for?""I'm not picky. Is there anything good around here? I don't feel like going too far," she replied.Brandon paused, then said, "There's a place with ethnic cuisine nearby. I went there once for a business meeting—it was pretty authentic. Want to give it a try?""Sounds g

Nyla was silent for a moment before nodding. "Alright. If you ever need Damon to help figure out Brandon's thoughts, just let me know.""I will. Don't worry about us, though. You just gave birth. Your main priority should be resting," Valarie said."Okay," Nyla replied.Valarie lingered in the bedroom for a while, but when she saw Nyla looking tired, she stood up and left.Downstairs, only Brandon was in the living room.Valarie walked over to him and asked, "Where's Damon?""He had something to take care of for work, so he went to the study. How's Aunt Nyla?" Brandon asked."She seems to be doing well, and the baby is adorable. Oh, right, I forgot to ask what the baby's name is. I only know her nickname is Bunny," Valarie said.Just thinking about Mia Sumner's cute little face made Valarie smile. She was already looking forward to the day the baby would call her godmother.A flicker of something crossed Brandon's eyes. "You really like kids, huh?""Of course! I've said befor

Once they were in the car, Nyla suddenly recalled Damon's phone call earlier. "By the way, what did Alexander want?"After a brief pause, Damon glanced at her. "He said Ms. Kinsey left you an inheritance and asked when we'd be able to go to Meristate to take care of it."Nyla pressed her lips together before replying, "Call him later and tell him to donate it or keep it for himself. I don't want it.""Alright," Damon replied.When they arrived home, Damon helped Nyla settle onto the couch, placing a pillow behind her back for support. Then, he said seriously, "Nyla, you've been through enough. Let's not have any more kids after this."During her first pregnancy with Mason, Damon hadn't been around, so he hadn't realized how difficult it was for her.Now, experiencing this pregnancy with her, every checkup and blood draw made his heart ache.Once Nyla gave birth, he planned to get a vasectomy. Two kids were enough for them.Nyla shot him a look. "This wasn't exactly planned, was

More than half an hour later, Nyla finally stirred from her nap.When she opened her eyes, she found Damon sitting by her bed, watching her. She froze for a moment, caught off guard.Rubbing her eyes, she realized he was still there and confirmed she wasn't dreaming.She slowly sat up, her voice still heavy with sleep. "Why are you here? Shouldn't you be in your study working?""I missed you, so I came to see you," Damon replied.Nyla narrowed her eyes. "You definitely have something to say if you're here all of a sudden."Damon chuckled, a little helpless. "I guess I can't fool you.""Of course not. I know you too well. Ever since I got pregnant, you've never come to see me like this in the afternoon," Nyla said."Alright. Go freshen up first, and I'll wait for you downstairs," Damon suggested."Okay," Nyla replied.After washing up, she went downstairs and sat beside Damon. "Alright, tell me. What's going on? You're acting all mysterious."Damon hesitated for a moment befo
