An hour later, Zac arrived at Violet Grove. The butler, upon seeing him, greeted him with a smile and ushered him inside. "Mr. Zac, you're here? Please come in," he said. Zac remained aloof, nodding curtly in acknowledgment of the butler's greeting. Knowing his reclusive nature, the butler paid no mind to his cold demeanor and led him upstairs. As they walked, he remarked, "I heard a few days ago that Mr. Ford was poisoned and you helped remedy the situation. We're truly grateful to you." "It's my duty," Zac replied with just a few words. The butler continued, "It's one's duty to help, but it's a kindness to offer assistance. Mr. Ford is fortunate to have a friend like you." Zac gave a slight tug at the corner of his lips, attempting to smile, but his expression remained stiff from years of emotional detachment. Under the corridor's lights, he seemed enigmatic. The butler could not shake off a shiver that ran down his spine and hastened his steps. When they reached the

Over half an hour later, after completing his examination, Zac neatly stowed away his tools in the medical kit. His movements were precise and practiced, methodical in every way, and the medical kit was soon arranged meticulously.This routine was nothing new for Shane, who walked over to the bedside and inquired, "How is she?"Zac gave him a cool glance, withholding an immediate response. Shane's heart raced with anxiety, his brows furrowing tightly. "Is there a problem? Did the Carter family mistreat her in the past?"Sensing Shane's escalating concerns, Zac hastened to reassure him, "There's nothing major, she's just exhausted and fell asleep."Hearing this, Shane finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank god! As long as she's okay..."Observing Shane's shifting expressions, Zac could not help but find it amusing. "You don't need to be so tense. Although she's a bit frail, overall, she's quite healthy. However..."He paused for a moment, causing Shane's heart to lurch in ant

Chapter 283

Upon hearing Shane's words, Haley's cheeks flushed red. She glared at him coquettishly, which made Shane burst into hearty laughter. After indulging in each other's company on the bed for a while, the butler knocked on the door: "Mr. Ford, dinner is ready. Would you like to come out and eat?"Shane looked at Haley. "Are you hungry? Shall we go eat something?"Haley opened her arms towards him. "Carry me to the bathroom. I need to freshen up."Shane lifted her horizontally, heading towards the bathroom.Haley quickly finished washing up and then asked Shane to take off her shoes so she could walk down herself. Shane looked worried. "Can you walk on your own? Maybe I should carry you down. It's only a few steps.""No, I'm fine now!" Being seen embracing in broad daylight would be so embarrassing! She definitely did not want that!Unable to persuade her, Shane had to put her down on the bed and let her change into slippers. His hands remained loosely around her waist, fearing

Mrs. Ford Sr. frowned, her voice stern as she reprimanded, "Even if they're helpers, they're helpers of the Ford family, not yours to dictate to."Xena suddenly chuckled, her eyes filled with mockery. "If I'm not part of the Ford family, what about Haley? Mrs. Ford Sr., your favoritism couldn't be more obvious, could it?""My friendship with Haley's mother goes way back, and I've watched her grow up. Even if I'm biased, what can you do about it?"Mrs. Ford Sr. had never encountered such audacity before. To marry into the family and disrespect the elders was one thing, but to accuse her of favoritism was another. She lacked even the basic manners!But Xena had no intention of letting it go. She sneered, "Even if you favor Haley, so what? Won’t you still rely on me to carry on the family line in the future? Mrs. Ford Sr., I warn you, stay out of my business in the future. Otherwise, once I take over the Ford family, you'll be the first one I kick out!"For Xena, marrying into the Fo

Chapter 285

If Shane had a child, naturally, they would have the capability to inherit. Even if they lacked capability, Mrs. Ford Sr. would not mistreat them. She would give them a portion of shares, ensuring their retirement without any issues.But James, he lacked the acumen for business just the same. A few summers ago, Evelyn asked her to let James intern at the company to gain experience, and she agreed. But what happened? On his first day, he filled in the contract amount incorrectly, causing the company to lose millions. The next day, he printed the meeting materials wrong, almost jeopardizing a partnership. Such incidents were numerous.Since then, she had never mentioned letting James inherit the company again. But she never expected that coming from Xena, it would turn into favoritism! Suddenly, she lost interest in arguing, because some people simply would not listen to these so-called explanations. They would only believe what they wanted to believe.But Xena thought Mrs. Ford S

Xena widened her eyes in disbelief. "James, are you blaming me for being unreasonable?"James furrowed his brows. "That's not what I mean. I just want to get to the bottom of things. Grandma wouldn't just get angry with you for no reason.""So you still doubt me?" Xena turned away, looking aggrieved, and started to sob."So this is what you think of me? I see now. I'll go apologize to those helpers. Even if I'm looked down upon, insulted, or mistreated, it's my own fault!"Seeing her getting emotional, James quickly reached out to her. "What are you saying? Mistreated? Did those helpers mistreat you?"Xena remained silent, quietly wiping away her tears, which only confirmed James's suspicions even more.He was furious, ready to call the butler over, but then remembered that the butler had already left. After a moment of silence, he said to Xena, "Since the helpers are already asleep, let's discuss this tomorrow."Xena stomped her foot in frustration but dared not be openly defia

This was also the aspect of the Ford family that Xena detested the most! Meeting Shane's cold and profound gaze, Xena involuntarily shrank her shoulders. She suddenly recalled Mrs. Ford Sr.'s words from last night. There was nothing wrong with Shane's body. He had no hidden illnesses and was perfectly capable of having children. In other words, her previous plans might fall apart, and Haley could get pregnant and give birth to the Ford family's heir. This realization filled Xena with an unprecedented sense of crisis. Because of this, she had not slept well all night. No, Haley must not get pregnant. She had to figure out a solution!Suppressing the fear in her heart, Xena pretended to be calm and said, "I really don't know anything, Uncle Shane. Please don't accuse me. I know Haley doesn't like me, and she might say bad things about me, but it's okay. I won't hold it against her. After all, she's my sister."Shane sneered, "Quit pointing fingers at Haley. She's never brough

"I-I didn't do it, James. Please, please don't listen to their nonsense!" Seeing James beginning to doubt her, Xena quickly reached out to hold his hand. James furrowed his brows and asked Shane, "Uncle, could there be a mistake? Xena isn't that kind of person." Shane did not say anything. Instead, the butler took out his phone and played a surveillance video. "Mr. James, perhaps you should watch this video before drawing conclusions." The surveillance at the Ford residence was always operational, nearly 24 hours a day. Only someone like Xena, who had recently arrived at the Ford residence, would overlook these details. Xena's eyes widened in disbelief, and her heart skipped a beat. Surveillance? The surveillance was actually on? Did that mean that everything that happened yesterday was captured on video? She quickly stepped forward, reaching out to knock the phone out of the butler's hand. "What video? You're just a helper, stop trying to sow discord between me and Jam

Chapter 289

Even though Xena was now married to James, her position in the Ford family was still not secure. She had to endure it for now. With this in mind, Xena slowly approached Mrs. Ford Sr. and moistened her eyes, saying, "Grandmother, it's all my fault. I was impulsive and accidentally pushed you. Can you forgive me?" Mrs. Ford Sr. gave her a faint glance and asked, "Accidentally? Are you sure?" She knew better than anyone the intense malice in Xena's eyes when she pushed her. She had warned that Xena was not a good person, but James refused to listen. Thinking of her troublesome grandson, she shook her head slowly, feeling even more disappointed. Xena gritted her teeth inwardly but managed to force a smile, coaxing, "Grandmother, I really know I was wrong. Please forgive me. I promise there won't be a next time!" Shane, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke up, "Let's divide the family estate." With these words, everyone present was shocked. Mrs. Ford Sr. and the b

Chapter 290

Xena shrank back, too scared to speak. She rolled her eyes inwardly, feeling nothing but disdain. She thought to herself, "What’s the old witch so proud about? In the end, wasn't she going to rely on me and James to take care of her in her old age? "Mrs. Ford Sr. looked towards Steven, who had been silent the whole time, and asked, "Steven, what do you think?"Steven, when addressed, looked up and gently shook his head. "Mom, I have no objections. I heard about yesterday's incident when I came back. I'll make sure to discipline James and Xena properly when I get back, and they won't cause you any more trouble."Mrs. Ford Sr. nodded lightly, somewhat satisfied with his attitude. "That's not what I'm asking about. I'm talking about splitting up the family estate. What do you think?"Steven wiped his face and asked, "Mom, does the family really have to split up?"Mrs. Ford Sr. nodded. "It's inevitable."Steven fell silent. He knew he did not have much ability. Over the years, if it
