Steffany's heart nearly stopped at her husband's biting remark. It made her feel like a failure as a woman. But Cedric wasn’t born disabled — someone had done this to him!Twenty years ago, when Cedric was just ten years old, someone secretly placed a venomous snake in his bedroom. The snake bit his leg while he was inside, and by the time he received medical attention, it was too late. The venom had spread rapidly, leaving his legs completely paralyzed.Steffany never saw it as her responsibility — it was Alejandro’s. He had countless enemies, and because of that, their son became a target. Cedric's current condition shattered the bright future he once had.Since that day, Alejandro always looked down on Cedric and favored Kenneth Volker, their eldest son. It was a stark contrast to how he once treated Cedric, back when he adored him for his brilliance — a trait that surpassed Kenneth's.“My dear … actually ….”Steffany was about to say something to Alejandro, but Cedric cut her off.

A long sigh escaped Alejandro's lips. "I don't know either, Hank. I really don’t know if bringing her back is the best decision for her and this family or not," he murmured.There was a time when Alejandro thought he would never see his daughter again. He had decided to cut all ties with her so she wouldn't get caught up in danger.But now, he realized she was already deeply entangled in a dangerous world, and he could no longer pretend not to see it. Yet, a lingering worry gnawed at his mind."I think it's good to bring the young miss back because Diego Lorenzo certainly won't sit quietly and let his son stay with her," Hank expressed his thoughts."But I doubt my daughter will acknowledge me as her father, Hank," Alejandro murmured with a bitter smile.After abandoning her since birth, suddenly appearing and claiming to be her father seemed more likely to make her hate him."Why not meet her and talk to her first, Boss? If you never try, you'll never know the answer," Hank suggested

"Regis, how about we look for a temporary rental home first? It would cost less than staying in a hotel like this. I still have a bit of money, and maybe we can find a smaller but decent place to live," Amora suggested to her husband."I've been thinking the same about renting a house, but I don't want to use your money," Regis replied, making Amora's face fall.Amora wanted to help ease Regis's burden, but it turned out he didn't want her to bear the weight."Don't you still have your business partnership with Mrs. Moonstone? Your money is the capital for your business, Amora. You guys just started, and you'll need quite a lot of funds going forward," Regis reminded his wife.Amora bit her lip. She fully understood her husband's concern. "But ....""I know you want to help me, but I still have some savings. I'm not broke just because I left Royal Dragon, my love," Regis chuckled softly before continuing, "I have enough for the rent. No need to worry."Amora could only sigh in resigna

"I'm truly sorry, Young Master. If there's anything I can do, just tell me," Mark expressed with genuine remorse.If it weren't for Diego's threats, Mark would never have become a traitor. He felt awful and didn't know how he could face Regis later."What could you possibly do, Mark? If I asked you to unfreeze my accounts, could you do it?" Regis quipped with a chuckle.Of course, that request was impossible. Mark's weakness was firmly in Diego's grasp, leaving him powerless to act recklessly."Young Master, I—""It's fine, Mark. I know where you stand. You had no choice; you did it to keep your job and to protect your sister," Regis interrupted with a long sigh."Don't worry about it. I still have some savings to get by," Regis added confidently.In reality, he wasn't sure how long that money would last if he didn't find another source of income soon."Thank you for understanding me, Young Master," Mark murmured."Is that all you wanted to tell me, Mark?" Regis probed. He had a feeli

"Forgive my insolence, Madam," Pablo reflexively lowered his head in front of Winny Silverlake.Finally, Pablo Varon stepped aside to let the old woman pass.Winny curled her lips lazily and hissed with disdain, "It seems my son needs to reevaluate his employees' attitudes. I can't believe you don't understand your place."Pablo knew she was merely bluffing. The Old Madam Lorenzo had no authority to fire him, and Diego Lorenzo wouldn't comply with her whims just because Pablo was doing his job.After all, Diego himself had instructed Pablo not to let anyone into the room. Still, the old woman's threat made him uneasy."I deserve any punishment, Madam," Pablo replied, keeping his head bowed.As expected, the old woman ignored him and proceeded inside once Rebecca was instructed to open the grand door before them. As the doors swung open, all eyes turned to them."Madam Lorenzo," everyone in the room greeted her, except for Diego Lorenzo.Winny ignored the greetings. Her sharp eyes focu
