Michael answered truthfully, "After our investigation, we found out that Rachel likely had an affair with the owner of Nimbus Lounge, Hugo Shaw. Jasper is his son.""Hugo Shaw?" Maxwell hadn't realized Rachel had been connected to Nimbus Lounge for so long. How could he have let himself be played like that?However, the last name "Shaw" was unfamiliar to him. He had never heard anyone in Haven City's elite circles mention it. Who exactly was this man?"Do you know anything about his background?" Maxwell demanded.Michael frowned and replied, "The Shaws seem to have their stronghold in the border region. Most of their operations are there. I'm not sure why they chose to open a club in Haven City."Maxwell pondered for a moment before saying, "If that's the case, they must have plenty of secrets. Gather evidence to see if there's anything that could put Hugo in a tough spot. If you find something, just hand it over to the police. Let's not dirty our hands."Michael nodded. "There

Maxwell looked at Jennifer with concern. "Be honest with me. What are your thoughts on all this? Since Hugo's your brother, what about your biological parents? Did he ever tell you how you ended up in Haven City?"Jennifer shook her head. "I don't want to know anymore. Sure, he's my brother, but the guy's clearly no saint. He's done some awful things. I don't need someone like him in my life. "And from what I overheard earlier when you were talking to Michael, his family isn't exactly upstanding either. So, why would I want to acknowledge them?"All she wanted was to live a simple, honest life.Initially, Maxwell had planned to shut down Nimbus Lounge entirely. Yet, with Jennifer suddenly revealing that Hugo was her biological brother, he hesitated. Could he really go after his own brother-in-law?He turned to Jennifer again and asked, "So, what are you saying? If Hugo really did something illegal and I had him thrown in prison, would you resent me for it?"Jennifer hesitated. R

Shaun hesitated before speaking. "Um… Do you think Ms. Yale will actually come with us? She doesn't seem all that fond of us.""Not fond?" Hugo scoffed. "Then just bring her here! If she refuses to listen, we'll have to take a more aggressive approach. I can't believe she's really trying to deny her roots."Shaun figured that a calm approach wouldn't work with Jennifer. After all, she had made it clear she wanted nothing to do with such a complicated family.So, to save time, he decided to jump straight to plan B.…As Jennifer was dragged in, her body stuffed into a sack, Hugo roared, "Shaun Rocks, have you lost your mind? You actually kidnapped her?"It dawned on Shaun that Hugo's outburst was fueled by frustration. At the end of the day, this was his biological sister.Hugo quickly crouched to untie the sack. Jennifer glared at him, signaling for him to remove the cloth that was muffling her."Fine, I'll untie you, but you'd better behave!" he warned. With that, he finally

Hugo clicked his tongue, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "You're really loyal, aren't you? If Rachel had even half of that loyalty, I wouldn't have had to put a bullet in her."Jennifer sighed. "Please, I'm begging you. Just let me borrow your phone for a minute. I need to make a call."Assuming she planned to call Maxwell for help, Hugo replied disdainfully, "You can let him know you're alive once we reach our destination!"With no other option, Jennifer followed him and his men onto the private jet.The plane was spacious, and she made sure to position herself as far from Hugo as possible, sulking at the back.Every now and then, Hugo would glance over his shoulder and silently observe his sister.In the end, Jennifer was still his sister. Sure, her taste in men was questionable—she fell for someone like Maxwell—and her temper even worse, but blood was blood. In the future, she would be the only family Hugo had.With that thought, Hugo decided to break the ice. He had someone

Hugo could hardly believe it; every other word out of Jennifer's mouth seemed to revolve around Maxwell. He reluctantly pulled out his phone, but Jennnifer quickly snatched it from his hands.Without a second thought, she dialed Maxwell's number. The moment the call connected, his anxious voice cut through the air. "Jennifer, where have you been? Why was your phone off? I was about to call the police!""Maxwell, calm down, okay? Just listen for a second." Jennifer then explained her visit to the Shaw residence near the border region. But to avoid stirring up more conflict between him and Hugo, she purposefully left out the part where she had been kidnapped.Despite her reassurances, Maxwell's anger flared. "Are you sure they didn't give you a hard time or hurt you? Are you safe? Send me your location. I'm coming to get you right now!"Hearing the urgency in his voice, a warmth spread through Jennifer. She replied calmly, "Don't worry. I'm fine, really. He's my biological brother,

"I refused to believe Camila would ever do something like that. She spent her entire life without children and cared for me without a single complaint. She's not that kind of person! After I'm gone, please don't cause trouble for her. She's a fragile soul who can't withstand your torment."Nicholas gasped for breath, each word a struggle.Hugo clenched his fist. He couldn't believe that his father's thoughts remained fixated on that woman even in these final moments.If it weren't for Nicholas' condition, Hugo would have exposed Camila Tate's true colors right then and there. He wanted his father to see the real side of the woman he had devoted his life to, the one he had trusted so completely.Hugo closed his eyes, his voice trembling with emotion. "You've said so much, but it's all been about her. Now, as you lie here dying, I have to ask—do you even remember what my mother looked like?"A fleeting look of nostalgia crossed Nicholas' face, but the severe failure of his heart and

"You were still just a kid back then, and our father left you in her care. Then, one day, enemies came seeking revenge, and a shootout broke out. By the time our father returned from the battle, that woman claimed you had been taken by our enemies."As soon as Hugo finished speaking, Jennifer stared at him in shock. "Are you saying the Yales are your enemies and they took me away?" she asked, incredulous."No!" Hugo stressed each word carefully as he continued, "At first, I believed her story too. But one day, I snuck into her room while playing hide-and-seek with the housekeepers. "That's when I overheard her on the phone, telling someone to sell you off. On top of that, I was her next target. Furious, I shot out from under the bed. She never expected to find me there, and I saw the panic in her eyes. She was afraid I'd tell our father."Jennifer listened, her heart racing. With a trembling voice, she asked, "W-What happened next?""What happened next?" Hugo smiled self-deprecat

Jennifer hadn't expected Hugo to be so blunt. After thinking it over, she answered, "If Maxwell wasn't responsible for my father's death, oh… I mean Zion, I'd forgive him for the sake of my kids."Hugo pressed his lips together, considering her words in silence. Even though she claimed it was all for Caleb and Cassidy, he could see the truth.Deep down, Jennifer couldn't let go of Maxwell. Even without the children, she would've forgiven him. After a brief pause, Hugo asked, "What if… Maxwell really dies? What will you do then?"All he needed to know was how much did Maxwell mean to Jennifer. Only then could he figure out his next move. After all, Camila had torn their family apart for years, forcing his sister to grow up away from them.Thankfully, Jennifer had been adopted by a kind, loving couple. If someone cruel had taken her in, Hugo couldn't even bear to think what she might have gone through.Since Camila had dared to harm Jennifer, Hugo wanted her to watch as he destroy

After visiting Harry, Simon left the prison with a heavy heart.He drove along a mountain road, letting the cool air blow against his face. He smoked a few cigarettes to clear his mind before finally heading home.It was late when he got back. Laura was in the kitchen trying to make something to eat. Simon sighed and walked over. "Go rest. I'll handle this."He took the ladle from her and began cooking.Laura didn't leave. Instead, she stood to the side, lost in thought. When had Simon started becoming this gentle? He used to be so distant and untouchable.She had been with him for five years, yet she had never known he could cook.Deep down, Laura wished he stayed the same cold and unreachable figure. At least then, she could keep her feelings in check.Simon asked, "Why aren't you resting?""I… I've been lying down all day. I just wanted to stand for a bit." She came up with an excuse. After a brief pause, she hesitantly asked, "Did you smoke?"Simon only then noticed the

Harry finally realized Simon had orchestrated everything. He had believed the Jensens were the mastermind behind this.Suddenly, thoughts of his daughter flooded his mind. He tried to stand up and confront Simon, but the handcuffs and shackles restrained him, forcing him to remain seated.Harry glared at Simon. "What have you done to my daughter? Tell me! What exactly have you done to her?"Simon smirked. "Nothing much. I simply taught her how to serve me, please me, and keep me happy."Harry's heart dropped. The thought of his daughter, whom he had lovingly raised and cherished, reduced to Simon's plaything after his imprisonment, tore his heart to pieces.It was a fate worse than death. "You! What happened to your father back then was my fault! I take full responsibility!" Harry's voice trembled, "But Laura is innocent. I beg you, let her go. Don't hurt her! You can kill me if you want. I'm begging you. Please, let Laura go!" Simon gazed at the desperate man before him. Ye

It was as if Simon blamed Laura for always asking stubborn questions.Their relationship was far from normal. He didn't understand why she insisted on getting to the bottom of everything.Laura's heart dropped. She returned to the bedroom, feeling utterly lost. Her heart ached. Simon was the most ruthless, selfish, and self-serving man she had ever met.Everything she had endured last night seemed insignificant to him. What mattered to him was that his mother hadn't caused her death, sparing him from any trouble.Around noon, Simon entered the bedroom.Laura was sitting on the rocking chair by the window, staring outside. The once-proud Laura now carried a sense of melancholy.Simon's heart tightened seeing her pale face. Unfortunately, apologizing wasn't his strong suit. He was too prideful for that.Still, he walked over to her and stroked her hair. "Don't take what I said to my mother earlier to heart. It wasn't aimed at you. Laura, you've been with me for five years. I thoug

Simon's words comforted Laura.After finishing the soup, she burrowed back under the covers. She peeked out to gaze at Simon, who was working on the couch. She could never get enough of him no matter how long she looked.Even though she knew she was being pathetic, she couldn't help herself. She was charmed by Simon. Every move he made exuded the poise and charisma of a mature man. Especially when he was focused on his work, it always stirred a sense of admiration in her.Eventually, drowsiness took over, and she drifted off to sleep again. She wasn't sure how long she slept. But later, she groggily heard Simon's voice as he spoke on the phone.Simon was on the balcony, talking to Fiona. Fiona feigned innocence. "How would I know she was on the balcony? I just noticed it was about to rain and wanted to close the balcony door for you."Simon's tone sharpened. "Mom, there's no point in making these excuses. We're mother and son. I can see right through you. If you pull another st

Laura understood Simon was technically still single since he wasn't married yet. She could still deceive herself and live in denial. But he would become someone else's husband once he married. Would she want to be his mistress?If it came to that, even she would despise herself.Simon hummed. "You can decide for yourself when that time comes. You can leave if you don't want to stay with me. But my promise will be void. You'd better believe me when I say, only I can save your father."Looking at Simon's emotionless face, Laura suddenly realized how cruel and cold-hearted he truly was. The feelings she thought they shared, the love and devotion she had poured her heart and youth into, were but a transaction in his eyes.Laura nodded. "Then let's set a deadline. I'll give you one year. If, after one year, my father's case remains unchanged, then we'll… cut ties."Simon replied calmly, "Fine, as you wish. Now get some rest."Only then did Laura close her eyes and stop resisting his t

Simon didn't give Laura any chance to react. He took a sip and then lowered his head before capturing her lips.Laura's eyes widened as Simon forced her to swallow the soup. She pounded on his shoulders before Simon let her go.He demanded, "I'll have no choice but to feed you like this if you don't drink the soup and take your medicine."Laura glared at him, her face flushed with both anger and embarrassment. She grabbed the bowl and downed the soup in one go. Then, she took the cold medicine he handed her.Simon finally relaxed and tucked her in. "Sleep."But how could Laura possibly fall asleep? Especially when Simon lay down beside her, pulling her into his embrace. She gritted her teeth. "Can you not touch me? I'm begging you. Don't touch me!"Simon didn't respond. He held her tightly, his warmth radiating through the thin fabric of her pajamas.Later, he noticed Laura was trembling and thought she was cold.When he turned her to face him, he realized her eyes were red, an

A sharp pain pierced Simon's chest. In the next instant, he held Laura tightly, as though trying to shield her from the cold. But still, she trembled uncontrollably. Without hesitation, he rushed to fill the bathtub with warm water and slowly placed her into it.Simon stroked Laura's pale face, then gently instructed, "Stay in the bath for a while. I'll make you some peppermint tea. If you start running a fever later, we might need to go to the hospital."Having said that, he turned to leave the bathroom. But as soon as he closed the door, he heard her crying.Simon froze in his tracks, then turned and rushed back in. He quickly undressed and stepped into the tub before pulling her into his arms. "I'm sorry, Laurie. I'm so sorry I came home so late," he apologized in a hoarse voice. "I-I didn't know they would—""Go away! Don't touch me!"Laura shoved him away with all her strength. Her voice broke as she screamed, "While you were happily spending time with your family, I was

As soon as Simon finished speaking, he froze. He had repeated what Laura had told him that day, almost exactly.He was a lawyer. Yet, his response was far from professional. Laura's words and actions had crept into his thoughts without him even realizing it. The realization unsettled him, leaving him feeling irritated.Meanwhile, William avoided Simon's gaze, guilt written all over his face. "Why are you bringing this up again? I've already told you. Those people came from some poor countryside. They don't deserve one million dollars."Besides, who in the right mind would complain about having too much money? If I can settle this with 200 thousand dollars, why should I pay a million? Didn't you say you found evidence to clear Brooks Group of most of the responsibility?"Simon had indeed found such evidence. That crucial piece meant Nick's family couldn't demand much compensation. Yet, a tightness gripped his chest, as if something unseen was pressing down on him. For some reaso

Fiona fixed her gaze on Simon, then replied, "Tell me honestly. Do you really only see Laura as the daughter of our enemy? If so, why do you keep putting off your engagement to Hailey?"Is there something else on your mind? Let me warn you. If you've developed any sympathy for that bitch, I'll end my life right in front of you!"Simon's heart sank as he heard that. He could clearly see the unwavering determination in her eyes. He would never doubt Fiona's words. After all, it was Harry who had caused Anthony's death, and that had shattered her life completely.The humiliation and torment Fiona had once endured flooded Simon's mind. He clenched his fists, unwilling to dwell on it any longer.He knew that Fiona would never accept Laura. The incident was something Fiona could never get over. Suddenly, she became agitated and grabbed Simon's arm tightly. Her voice was desperate as she demanded, "Tell me now. Do you have feelings for that bitch? Answer me!""Mom, calm down. I promi
