"Joey, Theodore already spoke with Matthew. Lottie can stay here for a little while longer. What do you think?" Willow asked again. "No need for that. I'm here to take her home," Joey insisted firmly. "Willow, you're not going to stop me, are you?" Willow was stunned momentarily. "Of course, I wouldn't do that." "Good," Joey said as her eyes focused on Lottie, who was hiding behind Jessica. "Lottie, come on. Time to go home with Mommy." With that, Joey pulled Lottie out and scooped her up in one swift motion. "Mommy!" Lottie exclaimed. She reached out toward Willow but was met with an empty space. Willow felt a pang in her heart. It felt as though she was missing something crucial. She hurried after them. "Joey, did you hurt her? Please be gentle!" Lottie struggled the entire way, but Joey showed no signs of letting go. Willow and Jessica chased them to the door. They helplessly watched as Joey shoved Lottie into the car and slammed the door shut. "Willow, thank you f

Chapter 612

After hanging up, Theodore stared at his phone for a few seconds.Clark approached from behind and said, "Mr. Bassett, you can go in now."Theodore snapped back to reality and glanced at the detention center's entrance. His cold eyes darkened. Theodore was here to see Iris.In the visitation room, Iris' eyes lit up with hope when she saw Theodore. "Theodore, you finally came! You're here to take me home, right?"Theodore took a seat with an unreadable expression. "It's not impossible for you to leave, but first, you need to answer my questions."Iris' enthusiasm dimmed a bit. "Willow sent you here, didn't she?""No one sent me. I came on my own. Where is Yasmine?"At those words, Iris snorted. "It's this question again? I told you I don't know. If I did, why wouldn't I tell you?""Are you really sure you don't know?" Theodore shifted the subject matter. "Yaron has been demanding to see you."The mention of Yaron caused Iris' brow to furrow tightly."Are you trying to threat

"You won't even lie to me, will you?" Iris yelled. Her eyes were full of resentment. "You can't even say a few nice words to humor me?"Theodore's brow furrowed slightly, and his expression was cold as he said, "Returning Yasmine to us is your only and best option right now. I don't think you want to spend the rest of your life without seeing Yaron."Theodore could use the same tactic against her.Iris' face turned pale.Yaron was her lifeline. Even though she often scolded and hit him out of frustration, he was still her flesh and blood.Over the past three years, Yaron had been the only thing that made her feel connected to Theodore; he provided a fleeting sense of being a family and was her only emotional anchor."It wasn't me." Iris' rigid expression softened. "Theodore, I had nothing to do with Yasmine's disappearance. I didn't know anything until much later. Iris tried to calm her emotions. "Do you know who was behind it? I can tell you…"Theodore's brows knitted slightl

Chapter 614

After Matthew left, Joey trembled as she opened the first aid kit. She used tweezers to pull out the pieces of broken glass from her hand, biting down on a piece of gauze as she hastily bandaged the wound.Once Joey had done a simple wrap, she rushed out the door.Joey had to find Yasmine. The way Yasmine had looked at her earlier was terrifying; there was no doubt in her mind that Yasmine knew something. She couldn't let Yasmine stick around any longerYasmine had fled the neighborhood and darted along the streets, hiding as she went.Eventually, she found a park that had a sandy play area and squeezed herself into a crawlplace, curling up into a small ball.Yasmine hadn't brought anything with her and was still wearing the princess dress that Penny had bought her. Her hairband had broken at some point, and her long hair hung messily over her shoulders like a bird's nest.She absolutely wasn't going back to that house.Joey was not her biological mother. Yasmine had overheard J

"Yasmine, is this you?" Jessica asked.Yasmine ran over while holding her stuffed bunny and stared curiously at the photograph. She shook her head and said, "I don't know. There aren't any pictures of me when I was small."Jessica was taken aback. "Not a single one?""I've never seen any."That was strange. What mother wouldn't keep photos of her child unless there was something to hide? Jessica gently held Yasmine's hand and looked closely at her forehead. There was a faint pink scar between her brows. It was barely noticeable unless someone were to look for it. The surgery plan must have been for her.Why would Joey give such a small child a procedure to remove a beauty mark? It didn't make sense."Yasmine, what did you mean earlier when you said Joey isn't your biological mom?" Jessica asked."She just isn't! I overheard her," Yasmine replied."What did you hear?""She said on the phone that she wanted to send me away."Jessica was startled, and her mind swirled with cou

Lottie hesitated slightly. At Joey's prompting glance, she finally turned to Willow. "Ms. Jett, thank you."Willow's heart ached when she heard Lottie call her "Ms. Jett"."You shouldn't call me Ms. Jett, Yasmine."Matthew was stunned as he wasn't sure what was going on. Joey furrowed her brows. She was caught off guard, yet she seemed to convince herself as she explained, "Willow, I know you might be used to Lottie calling you Mommy. Since we're quite close, it wouldn't be an issue for you to be her godmother. "But Lottie's frightened now, so please don't scare her, okay?""Godmother?" Willow's expression darkened. "Joey, why are you doing this to me?"Joey paused, confusion flickering in her eyes.Willow pointed a trembling finger at her and was unable to utter a word for a long moment. "You stole my daughter. Why are you doing this?""What are you talking about?""Iris already told us everything. The person who arranged for the nanny to come into my home and bribed her t

Hearing the word "Mommy", Willow immediately turned to Yasmine, thinking she was calling for her. But Yasmine clung to Joey's neck, her expression filled with unease. "Mommy."Joey soothingly patted her back. "Lottie, it's okay. We're going home now." After saying that, she shot a deep glance at Willow. "I understand that after losing your daughter, you've placed all your past regrets onto Lottie. I appreciate how you've cared for my daughter during this time, but that doesn't mean I'm going to give her to you. I think you should see a psychiatrist."With that, Joey turned and walked away.Willow tried to chase after her but was stopped by Matthew. "Willow, I understand how you feel, but you've made a mistake.""Do you think I'm the one lying?""No, I believe what you're saying. Iris told you all this, but have you considered how credible her words are? You should trust us instead."Matthew continued, "I delivered the samples for the paternity test today. Joey had no idea t

At that moment, Theodore felt a wave of regret. He shouldn't have shared these unverified statements with Willow, causing her emotions to swing dramatically.By the time they returned home, it was already quite late."You're finally back! You found Yasmine, right?" Penny had been waiting at home, anxious that Yasmine might come home and find no one around.Theodore gently wrapped an arm around Willow and nodded to her. "She's back, so don't worry.""That's good. Jessica isn't answering my calls either. I wonder where she's gone. I'll message her to let her know and to come back early.""Okay.""What's wrong with Willow?" Penny noticed that Theodore was holding Willow, who looked pale and weak as if she had suffered some great shock."She's just tired," Theodore replied casually.He instructed Kathy to heat a cup of milk, then accompanied Willow upstairs to rest.Once in the room, the curtains were drawn, and a warm yellow lamp illuminated the space, making it feel much cozier.

The next morning, Willow woke up later than usual. In fact, she hadn't slept well all night.Kathy had prepared breakfast, but Willow had little appetite and stood by the coffee machine. She hoped a cup of coffee would help her feel more awake."Don't drink coffee," Theodore said as he took the cup from her hands and handed her a glass of milk. "Drink this instead.""I can't. I'm a bit tired," she replied."If you're tired, then go back to sleep."Willow shook her head. She couldn't fall asleep."This isn't good!" A startled voice came from the guest room on the second floor.Willow and Theodore both looked up at the same time to see Penny rush out of Jessica's room as half her body peeked over the railing. "Jessica didn't come back last night!"Willow froze for a moment. "Are you sure?""The blanket in her room hasn't even been moved. I called and messaged her, but there's been no response," Penny explained as she rushed down the stairs. "Even though she can be a bit self-c

Joey leisurely took a sip of her coffee. "No problem. Would you like something to drink?""No, I need to head back shortly.""Busy with work?" Joey pulled a thick stack of cash from her bag and pushed it toward the man. "Here's 30 thousand dollars. Count it?"The man only peeled back a corner of one of the bundles. Upon the green bills inside, he relaxed and stowed the cash in his briefcase, which bulged noticeably."No need to count it, thanks.""I should be thanking you." Joey smiled slightly, but her smile was tinged with darkness. "Just remember what I asked you to do—keep your mouth shut.""Don't worry, I'll be leaving Emperia tonight. Not a word will escape my lips.""Great."Joey finished the last sip of her coffee as she watched the man leave, Half a month ago, after learning that Matthew was planning to do a paternity test, she had managed to contact the doctor who would be handling it. She had gathered some leverage over him to coerce and entice him into compliance.
