"I initially chose Allure Designs because Ruth happened to mention this brand to me ..."Embarrassed, Felton smiled. "I've loved drawing since I was a child. Later on, I learned a bit of design from an elder. My mother passed away due to complications during labor when she had me, so I've never even seen her."When I was a child, my grandfather told me that my father also passed away early. My parents never had a proper wedding. They secretly got married out of love and had me afterward."The Keanes didn't have many descendants in the past few generations. My grandfather went to great lengths to conceal their relationship and my existence to protect my parents and me, but ..."Felton took a deep breath and continued softly, "My mother was drugged even before she got pregnant with me. She was continuously exposed to poisoning during her pregnancy and by the time they discovered it, it was already too late."My mother survived long enough for me to be born, and then she passed away.

Faye drove slowly through the busy streets of Jorn City. She soon arrived at a small town in the suburbs located near the city.Although it was just a small town, the place was bustling. It was filled with tourist attractions. It had become a nationally renowned tourist spot.Avery's parents were also Jeorgians, citizens of Jeorgia City. However, they moved to Jorn City a long time ago to start their business. They've currently settled down in this bustling small town where they operate a specialty store.Faye had visited the shop a couple of times in the past. Apart from local delicacies, their store also offered all sorts of souvenirs and local specialties. The last time she was here, she had even bought some local specialties for her friends abroad. Her friends were absolutely thrilled to receive the gifts. As this town was a popular tourist spot, there was a constant influx of tourists. Thus, the business was doing very well.Faye parked her car in the outdoor parking lot.

When Faye arrived at the Shaw residence, Solomon was already in a state of panic.Upon spotting her, he rushed forward and urgently asked, "Dr. Connor, didn't you say that my father is fine and would soon wake up? Why did he suddenly …"Solomon was seriously panicking. He had waited so long for this day. As soon as Frederic woke up, he would be able to set his plans into motion.Just when he thought Frederic would awaken tonight, this unexpected turn of events happened.Solomon was at a loss. When he saw Faye, he looked like he had just seen his savior."Calm down, Mr. Shaw. Allow me to check on Mr. Shaw Senior before making inferences." With that, Faye hastily walked inside.Solomon strode after her. Leaning close, he whispered, "Dr. Connor, is it possible that someone took the opportunity to harm my father?"There was a deep meaning behind his words.After all, Taylor had vigilantly stood by Frederick's side throughout that time. The security in the Shaw residence was enhance

Faced with the siblings' insistent claims, Frederic had a confused look in his eyes.Then, his pleading gaze fell upon Faye.Faye smiled faintly. She expressed that she was only an outsider, and she had no intention of helping Frederic.She even gave Taylor a look, preparing to make her escape.Taylor seethed with anger at the unfolding situation. But following his anger came the heavy realization of his helplessness.This was a problem within the Shaw family. He couldn't meddle in their affairs.His role within the Shaw family was strictly that of a family doctor. His sole responsibility was to provide regular checkups for Frederic to ensure his well-being.Over the past year or so, Taylor had even endured mistreatment from the Shaw family simply because he was Cedric's friend.Fortunately, he still had some skills and capabilities. He would not have been able to stay here otherwise, all things considered."Connor, come here." Seeing that Faye was about to escape, Frederic ca

The Pembrook Security Team was a specialized unit dispatched by the country to safeguard the borders situated at the mouth of Pembrook.Cedric had heard a lot of rumors about the security team. The team leader was said to be impartial, decisive, and ruthless. The many people who tried to cause trouble here were deterred by the mere mention of his name.For those who remained skeptical of the rumors and dared to challenge the leader's authority, their outcomes all ended terrible—and there were no exceptions.Cedric's men often had to traverse the region near the mouth of Pembrook. But because Cedric was always careful and never allowed room for weakness or error, he had never gotten in trouble with the notorious security team.Thus, no matter how powerful his opponents were, they had never caused him trouble.This was his first time dealing with the security team.When Cedric's car arrived at their base, it was already past midnight.It was eerily silent. Typically, this was th
