Lana's gaze on Ruth turned solemn. "Ms. Ruth, who is this 'Copper family' you're talking about? Are they related to the Watson family in any way?""The Copper family can hardly be called a family," Ruth sneered. "They are just a small, run-down household. You can't even compare them with the Eight Affluent Families in Dawsbury. They don't even come close to the rich families in smaller towns.""What's with the Copper family, then?""The Copper family?" Ruth let out another snicker. "That's Emilia's biological family. They sold off their daughter to Mr. Watson Senior. That's how they managed to escape from that poor life.""Emilia?" Something seemed to click in Lana's mind. With her eyes closed, she continued to mutter, "The Copper family … Copper … Hospital … Paternity test?"Everyone in the room suddenly came to realize after hearing Lana's words.Ruth continued to scornfully exclaim, "The Copper family, huh? Impressive. How bold of them to come up with such an extended plan to

Just as the first light of dawn broke on the horizon, a black car had already appeared at the pier.Everyone exited the car, eagerly awaiting Nadia's arrival.Liam took off his coat and draped it over Lana's shoulders, comforting her in a soft voice. "Don't worry too much. I've checked, and she's fine. She should be here soon."Even with Liam's reassurance, Lana couldn't completely relax. "Even if Nadia wasn't physically harmed, she was almost sold to Serelia. She must be terrified."When she comes down from the ship, I must be the first to hug her. I need to apologize. I shouldn't have treated her like that that day."Lana was riddled with guilt over the argument with Nadia and the subsequent incident.Meanwhile, Ruth leaned against Wade, staring straight at the calm sea. On the inside, however, she was a nervous wreck. She was about to see her child again after waiting for so many years. She couldn't contain her excitement.Feeling the emotional fluctuations in the person in

When someone knocked on her door, Ruth was sitting solemnly by the bay window. Gazing at the small commercial area in the town, she pondered what they would do if Nadia refused to acknowledge them. The Watson family hadn't been involved in her life much over the years. Hence, a sudden display of warmth might overwhelm Nadia.If Nadia truly didn't want to return to the Watson family, Ruth would divorce Wade. She'd stand alone with Nadia, compensating for the years of maternal love she had missed out on. She also considered transferring all her properties, funds, and jewelry to Nadia. That way, even if Nadia refused to acknowledge her, she could still ensure that Nadia could live freely. She wouldn't have to worry about being dependent on others as she had done in the past.Lost in her many thoughts and considerations, Ruth remained immersed in her contemplation even when someone knocked on her door. She only came to her senses when Wade's loud cry and subsequent sobbing echoed fro

Had Cynthia disguised herself as Emilia to commit murder? Upon learning the truth, Emilia nearly collapsed."If people find out what you did, what am I supposed to do?"Emilia was truly innocent this time. How can she admit to something she didn't do? On top of that, it was murder, which was a heinous crime. Once the authorities determined it was her, Emilia would undoubtedly be done for."Why are you so afraid?" Cynthia calmly observed Emilia teetering on the brink of breakdown. "Aren't you so capable? Why aren't you speaking to me with that superior attitude you had earlier?""Cynthia, you're insane!""Yes, I am!" Cynthia admitted bluntly. "It was you who drove me insane!"They were both twins from the same mother. One of them was sent to a prominent household to become an exceedingly privileged young lady. Meanwhile, the other was forced to live in the shadows, unable to show their true face, known to only a few within the family."Have you ever considered that the Cooper f

After welcoming Nadia into the family, Danny solemnly introduced Emilia to her."Deedee, although it might seem inappropriate, I still want to introduce someone to you."With that, Danny pulled Emilia out from behind him."This is your younger sister. Although you two aren't related by blood, during the years you were away, she had kept us company. So, in the future, you two should get along well, understand?"Emilia graciously stepped forward to greet Nadia."Nadia, I never thought we had this kind of relationship!"Without missing a beat, Nadia responded with a light smile, "Yes, who would have thought we had such a connection?"Danny was momentarily stunned, then smiled happily. "Ah, it's all thanks to fate! So you two already know each other."Nadia responded indifferently, "Well, fate only made us meet a few times. That's all.""That's fine!" Emilia took Nadia's arm warmly. "We didn't know before, but now that we do, I'm sure we can become close sisters."Nadia gently re
