Usually, Danny would quickly try to calm Emilia down whenever she got upset. However, he didn't do that today. Instead, Danny remained in his seat with a pensive look in his eyes. It was as if he did not hear what Emilia just said. Danny didn't try to console Emilia even though she sounded extremely sad and disappointed. Alex grinned. "What are you getting so worked up for? I never said that you were behind it. Or was it really your doing?" Emilia thought her heart might jump out of her chest. She could not help but wonder if Alex had found some sort of evidence. Otherwise, why would he sound so confident? "Alex, that's just baseless accusations!" Alex found the anxious look on Emilia's face rather amusing. Still, he had decided to act cautiously before he could secure solid proof to remove Emilia once and for all. "It's fine if you have nothing to do with it. What are you yelling at me for, then?" Alex smiled mischievously. Emilia was supposed to be the one who was w

Emilia was lost in thought for the rest of the evening. Gripped by malicious intent, she was considering different ways to get rid of Nadia for good. Therefore, she didn't notice when the Watsons and Nadia slowly approached her table after greeting the other guests. "Emilia, what's wrong?" Danny came over to Emilia and asked anxiously, "You look so pale, and you're sweating so much. Are you sick?" Emilia snapped out of her reverie. She wiped the sweat off her forehead. "Grandpa, I've been feeling a bit dizzy since this afternoon. I think I've probably caught a cold." "You should hurry and get some rest if you're not feeling well. I can handle things here." Emilia couldn't wait to leave. She was not interested in staying and watching how close and joyful the Watsons were. The only reason she stayed for so long was to make sure no one would start any strange rumors about her. Upon hearing Danny's words, Emilia got to her feet. "In that case, I'll get some rest in my room then

In response, Ruth issued a command, "Bring Emilia down!"Concerned for his beloved granddaughter, Danny acted promptly, instructing someone to rouse the already sleeping Emilia.Before Emilia appeared, Wade and Ruth had already brought Nadia before Danny.As Danny beheld his beloved granddaughter with red, teary eyes and disheveled marks, a pang of concern gripped his heart. A daring suspicion lingered, but lacking confirmation from the involved party, Danny hesitated to acknowledge it.Shortly afterward, Emilia descended.On this particular day, she genuinely felt unwell. The recent stressful events had taken a toll on her, causing her to become sick when she rarely fell ill. After taking medication and returning to sleep, she was abruptly awakened by the maid.Despite the early hour, the guests had already left. In the expansive living room, only Wade, Ruth, Danny, and Nadia remained, with no trace of Alex."Why did everyone leave?" Normally, the Watson family dinners exte

The compassion in Alex's gaze was unmistakable, yet Nadia met it with a self-assured smile."Alex, there's no need for pity. I don't deserve it."Despite being aware of Nadia's troubled history, Alex opted not to share the specifics with his parents. He feared that, like him, they would be overcome with sorrow."You do deserve it!"Alex didn't adhere to outdated beliefs. In cases of sexual assault against girls, he avoided attributing blame to provocative dressing or late-night activities.He recognized that perpetrators could find various ways to carry out their misdeeds, and he considered holding victims accountable to be a flawed mindset.Nadia's expression remained stoic. Even if her secret were exposed, she wondered, what difference would it make?After all, it was a chapter of her life she had come to terms with."So, you're aware of everything?"Alex affirmed with a nod. "Howard brought it up earlier."Nadia couldn't help but respond with a sneer. It appeared that Howa

"Mr. Chris, stop putting on a show for Mr. Liam. We all know you've recorded plenty of this kind of stuff too," someone remarked."Yeah, no matter how you play the good guy, Mr. Liam surely won't buy it."While many assumed Chris was merely maintaining a façade for Liam, little did they realize that Liam had already detected unsettling nuances in Chris's gaze.Chris casually threw the water-damaged phone back to the hostess, declaring, "I'll make it up to you with two brand-new ones tomorrow."Approaching Chris swiftly, the hostess declared, "Mr. Chris, I'm not interested in a phone."Intrigued, he sat upright and asked, "Well then, what do you want?"With a flirtatious touch, the hostess playfully responded, "I want you!"On an average day, Chris might have been inclined to go along with such things, acknowledging that he wasn't necessarily a saint and merely wanted to have a good time.However, today was different. He had pressing matters to discuss with Liam. Thus, he pushed
