Chapter 221 Another Encounter

Chris asked casually, "Really?""I wasn’t thinking of using your money to find some eye candy and live the high life," Paige replied.‘Why bother with that?’ Paige thought. She could use the money to buy a house, start a small business, and live a simple life. Why waste it on young men and unnecessary luxuries?"Hmm?" Chris squinted slightly, a sly smile playing on his lips. "So, you've thought about me being killed by Shelly, and then you live carefree with my wealth?"Paige hesitated to admit it.Chris' smile was terrifying. It was reminiscent of the Joker, a master of taking lives with a casual demeanor."No!" Paige quickly denied, lifting her head defiantly, meeting Chris's gaze. "I want my husband to be healthy and live a long and happy life.""Heh," Chris chuckled lightly, clearly not believing her.Paige thought hard about how to make him believe her."It’s true." Paige said earnestly, "If I wanted you dead by Shelly, I wouldn't have warned you to be cautious.""Is tha

Chapter 222 Bob's Affair

Sierra nodded. "Okay."The mother-daughter duo sat on the couch, chatting about daily affairs. Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Wendy jumped up in surprise, looking flustered.Sierra looked at Wendy in confusion, wondering why her mom's reaction was so strong to a simple doorbell."Mom, what's wrong?" Sierra asked with concern.Wendy forced a smile. "Nothing. Someone's at the door. I'll go check who it is."Wendy reached the door. When she saw through the camera that it was the lawyer, she breathed a sigh of relief. She thought it might be him, returning after disappearing for a while.Opening the door, the lawyer walked in."Mr. Smith, what brings you here?" Wendy asked with a smile.Mr. Smith looked at Wendy and said, "There are some things I want to tell you in person."Wendy's heart skipped a beat. Mr. Smith was in charge of her divorce case, and usually, they communicated through phone calls or messages. Today, he came in person, which meant it had to be important.T

Chapter 223 The Quirks Belong to Her

Sierra's silence left Wendy feeling dissatisfied. She frowned, looking at her with irritation. "Why aren't you saying anything? Are you planning to tell your dad? Bob isn't even worthy of being your dad!"Sierra looked at Wendy and said, "Mom, can't you and Dad stay together?"Stay together?Wendy was taken aback. Then, she furrowed her brows and said angrily, "Impossible."In the past, she did not want a divorce because of her love for Bob. Now, she had found a new love, someone who had captured her heart deeply. As for Bob, she used to think he was outstanding. However, now he seemed like an old man—silent, domineering, and always putting up a front before her.Her new love was young, good-looking, and had a great physique. He knew how to sweet talk to make her happy. Not only that, the young man was energetic, bringing her joy that Bob, the soft and weak old man, could never provide.Moreover, Bob now had another woman and a son. What could she achieve by getting back toge

Chapter 224 A Hero Descends From the Sky

Sierra strolled towards the neighborhood entrance, lost in thought, when she seemed to collide with someone in a daze."Ouch..." The person she bumped into collapsed instantly, screaming, "Ouch, my back! It hurts so much."Sierra snapped out of her daze, looking at the person on the ground—a silver-haired elderly man. She could not fathom how she bumped into him, her mind preoccupied with thoughts of her father's illegitimate child. Could she really have bumped into someone?The elderly man's expression seemed too exaggerated, though.Sierra was walking at a normal speed. How could she have hit him so hard?"You owe me money," the old man said, looking at Sierra. "My back… It’s broken."Sierra was at a loss for words.Now she understood she had encountered a scam.Sierra was furious. Already in a bad mood, she had nowhere to vent her frustration. Typically, she might have given a small amount to avoid trouble, but not today! Her anger was seeking an outlet, and this scammer

Chapter 225 What Does My Sister Want?

In no time, people dispersed, leaving only Sierra and Dan."It’s okay. Everything's fine now," Dan said gently to Sierra.Sierra looked at Dan, gratitude and admiration filling her eyes. "Thank you."Dan smiled warmly. "No need to thank me. I've seen you twice before. Do you live in the second building?"Sierra laughed. "No, it's my mom who lives here."Dan nodded, suddenly realizing, "Ah, I see."It seemed his guess was correct."Hi, I'm Sierra." Sierra smiled, extending her hand to Dan."Dan." Dan shook hands with Sierra.Sierra hesitated for a moment. It might be her imagination, but it felt like Dan had exerted a little force while shaking her hand, making her feel his strength. His palm was broad. There was a slight callus tickling her smooth hand.Her heart fluttered, and she glanced deeply at Dan.Dan caught her gaze, smiling gently. "You must have been scared just now. How about a drink to calm your nerves?"Sierra looked at Dan, nodding with a smile. "Sure."Her f

Chapter 226 Appeasing the Girl Again

Sierra said, "...No."Now that her parents' divorce was inevitable, how could she stop it? Even if her dad did not want to divorce, her mom was determined to."So, what do you want me to do?" Paige asked.Sierra looked at Paige and moved her lips, wanting to say something but unsure how to start.Paige looked back at Sierra, understanding her sister's thoughts. Sierra had already talked to her about it the last time. What Sierra wanted was Quirks Enterprise.Before, Sierra had always seen Quirk Enterprise as their family's treasure. Since the Quirks only had two daughters, with Paige being less favored, Sierra always assumed the Quirks would naturally be hers. However, Bob now had a son with another woman, and it was not just any son. It was a grandson their grandparents had long awaited to carry on the Quirks’ legacy."Sierra, Quirk Enterprise was built up by Grandpa and Grandma and handed down to Dad... It's the effort of two generations, and we haven't contributed anything

Chapter 227 You’re Sweet and Naive

"Nothing." Paige pouted.Well, if he was going to give her that attitude, she would not tell him.Chris raised an eyebrow, realizing the girl was throwing a tantrum, not wanting to spill the beans. In that case, he would not press her. After all, coercing people was not his style.He decided to ignore Paige and went about his business.Paige stared at Chris turning around. Was he just going to leave it at that? Was he not going to ask more questions? His concern for her seemed perfunctory. Had he grown tired of her and lost his patience? All he did was throw a question out there, and whether she answered or not, he would move on?What a jerk!Paige felt stifled. She actually wanted someone to talk to. Even if they could not help, just someone to listen would do. However, she could not find anyone except Chris. Apart from Chris, there was no one else to talk to.Well, she could talk to her two besties, but they were overseas. Hence, she could only spill her feelings to them onl

Chapter 228 The Truth to Ann’s Suspicions

Paige nodded. "Okay."Chris looked at the obedient Paige and chuckled. She was really a sweet and naive girl."Why are you laughing?" Paige asked.What was so funny?"I laugh because you're a sweet and naive girl," Chris said with delight.Paige pouted. "But don't you like sweet naive?"In fact, being called sweet and naive nowadays was not a compliment. Most of the time, it was an insult."Yeah." Chris nodded with a faint smile. "I like sweet and naive."Paige blushed again and looked at Chris with twinkling eyes.Chris remained silent, smiling faintly at Paige. He kept staring until Paige could not maintain eye contact.He smirked as he looked at the blushing and shy Paige. He knew she wanted to ask him that question, but... she was a bit timid, a bit shy, and could not bring herself to say it."What are you avoiding?" Chris asked with a smile.Paige blushed even more, stammering, "I-I'm not avoiding anything."Seeing Chris approaching her, Paige's face got even redder,

Chapter 229 Having Children

She thought Ann would surely give her a good talk before letting her go, but she was left so easily.Was Ann not going to pressure her into having children? Was Ann not going to push her anymore?Or maybe Ann realized she could not make decisions for her and thought pressuring her was useless?… When Paige returned to the room, Chris was sitting on the couch, scrolling through his phone. He looked up when he heard movement, not surprised to see Paige empty-handed."Did Mom prepare any gifts for you?" Chris asked knowingly."No," Paige replied.Chris raised an eyebrow at her answer."Then, why did she call you over?""Nothing much. We just had a casual chat," Paige said.It was indeed like a casual chat. Even though Ann wanted to pressure her into having children, Ann did not seem to insist much.Chris chuckled and looked at Paige. "When did your relationship with my mom become good enough for casual chats?"Paige had no words to refute. Indeed, her relationship with Ann wa

Chapter 230 It Takes Two

Take Tina, for instance. Ever since giving birth to Mia, she had been under constant pressure from the folks at Liam’s side of the family to produce a son. Now that she was finally pregnant again, everyone hoped for a boy. However, if she happened to have another girl...Girls get married and move into their husbands' homes, facing the challenge of dealing with difficult mothers-in-law. Those were just stories of other women's experiences that he observed but did not feel much for. However, if those scenarios played out in his own daughter's life, he could not stand it.Paige stayed silent, contemplating the hardships girls endure compared to boys. "But what if I have a daughter?" She wondered aloud. After all, the gender of the child was not something she could control.Chris looked at Paige, his eyes determined. "Even though girls might face tougher challenges, my daughter, Chris’s daughter, won't suffer. I'll make sure she becomes the happiest princess in the world."Paige c
