These past few days, since being saved by Darwin, Fiona has been living in a surreal state. If Darwin had gone through some changes before, then in these past few days, he seemed to have completely transformed. He even gave up the alliance with the Ross family for her sake. Fiona wouldn't even dare to dream of such a thing, not even in her dreams."Fiona?" Janna Rhoads's voice sounded in her ears.Fiona snapped out of her thoughts and looked sideways at Janna. "Grandma Rhoads, what's the matter?""What are you thinking about? I said your name several times before you responded," Janna asked.Fiona felt a bit embarrassed. Fortunately, Janna didn't wait for her answer and continued, "After we arrive in Serene City, you don't have to accompany me all the time. You can go and meet your classmates and friends if you want.""That's exactly what I was going to tell you," Fiona said, pursing her lips. "I really want to meet someone, but..."Janna Rhoads noticed her hesitation. "Is it someone

Fiona had spent a long time with Janna Rhoads. She returned to her own room only after Janna had taken her medicine and fallen asleep. Taking out her phone, she replied to Darwin's message. His video call came through immediately.Fiona answered it. Darwin was still working overtime. They chatted aimlessly for a while. Fiona, on this side, gradually started to doze off. Seeing her drowsy state, Darwin found her irresistibly adorable. "Fiona," he gently called. Fiona mumbled in response, "I miss you," he said.Fiona was in a daze. Memories of the past five years had not completely faded away. Instinctively, she softly replied, "I miss you too."Darwin paused for a moment. "Be good, I'll come pick you up soon," he said, even more gently and resolutely.There was no response from Fiona's end. Her breathing became even as she fell asleep just like that. Darwin didn't end the video call. He continued working on his files, glancing at Fiona whenever he felt tired, instantly feeling reinvigo

In the serene city, there was a woman named Jane who passed away very young, leaving behind a daughter. Jane’s mother, Carla Woods, also passed away in Serene City, and she too had a daughter. Fiona, from a young age, was puzzled by why her peers had so many relatives to visit and received numerous red envelopes during festivals, while her own family lacked any relatives. If we assume that her grandparents were Jane’s biological parents, it would explain why they had distanced themselves from their family due to their special line of work. There was also their illness, which doctors initially asked if they had been in contact with any chemicals. Countless intricate threads slowly formed a clear connection in Fiona’s mind.Carla Woods was Jane! All those experiences that made Fiona itch with hatred as a bystander were her mother’s past. Her heart was torn apart by the pain, and anger burned fiercely. At that moment, her phone rang. Fiona was momentarily dazed but picked it up to find D

Darwin was about to agree when his phone rang. He glanced at it, his expression turning cold and solemn. After he finished the call, Fiona knew that he wouldn't be able to go to the snack street."Fiona, there's something I need to handle back in Bay City," Darwin apologized, patting her head. "Once everything is settled there, I'll accompany you back to Serene City for a while.""I understand," Fiona nodded, but deep inside, she wondered if that time would really come.Darwin escorted Fiona back to the hotel. Janna had already left. Fiona gave her room door a cold glance before turning back to her own room. In the evening hours, Janna returned exhausted. Stuart approached and called Fiona to join them for dinner."Still no news?" Fiona sipped her soup and asked slowly.Janna shook her head. "It's hard to say whether my granddaughter even lives in Serene City. I'm planning to find Jane first.""How will you find her?" Fiona asked."She will eventually be buried. So I'll search through

Hathaway's realization was like a cold wave washing over her, leaving her shivering with the stark truth. She had always been the golden child, the one who would bring the Ross family further prestige through an advantageous marriage. But now, she felt like a pawn discarded after a bad play, her value diminished and her future uncertain.Jones knelt beside her, her own face a mask of concern. "Miss, sometimes we must face harsh truths. You are strong and have always been. You must stand up and confront this situation head-on."Hathaway raised her head, her eyes glistening with unshed tears, yet there was a new resolve in her gaze. "Yes, you're right. I have to think about this clearly. Darwin has made his stance clear, and I cannot force him to change his mind. But I can still protect my family's interests and my own dignity."She stood up, brushing off her dress, her posture regaining some of its usual poise. "I will talk to my father. We need to reassess our strategy and perhaps fin
