Odgen, though furious, couldn't refute Lambert. The information he received confirmed that Lambert had rescued the woman but hadn't stayed with her, merely placing her in a hotel room.This restraint was the only thing that kept Odgen somewhat satisfied; otherwise, Lambert would have faced more than just a forehead injury.Odgen's anger gradually subsided, but his attitude remained stern. Lydia was a thorn in his heart, a constant reminder of his wife's innocent death."I warn you, this better not happen again! Whatever that woman encounters is her own business and has nothing to do with our family. And you are not to use the company's resources because of her.""As long as you don't target her, I won't intervene either," Lambert insisted. He could avoid meeting Lydia and even try to give up his feelings for her, but he couldn't stand by and watch her get hurt.Odgen gritted his teeth. "Fine! I promise not to go after her intentionally, but you better keep your promise. Now, kneel bef

Lydia screamed hysterically, her expression one of pure anguish.Seeing her in such pain, Lambert felt as if his heart were being pricked by countless needles.“Let me tell you the reason!”A deep, hoarse middle-aged voice abruptly interrupted them.Upon seeing the newcomer, Lambert’s face grew even darker.His gaze fell on Bob not far away. Hadn’t he warned Bob not to let his father know that Lydia was here?Bob looked conflicted. He had indeed tried to block the news, but with so many people attending today, it was inevitable that two women discussing Lydia’s presence were overheard by Ogden, which is why he came out.Ogden's sudden appearance left Lydia momentarily stunned. She pursed her lips and called out, “Father...”“We’re not that close! Besides, Lambert was right before. Our family doesn’t welcome you. When Nydia was alive, she often criticized you, but I never expected you to be so ruthless. You murderer, how dare you show your face here?”Ogden's words ignited a flurry of

Fortunately, she wasn't impulsive.Though sympathetic to Lydia's situation, Thera understood that emotions were personal matters, not to be meddled with by others."Mr. Halsey, you should know that we're not very familiar with each other. If it weren't for Lydia, we might never have crossed paths. I don't care about the Halsey family’s issues, but I do care about Lydia. So, if this is for you or your family, I'm sorry, but I won't help.""What if it's for Lydia? You should know how much trouble the online rumors are causing her…” Lambert's worry was palpable.“Do you mean you have a solution?” Thera's interest was piqued.“As long as the real culprit is found, the rumors will naturally collapse.”“The real culprit?” Thera's interest deepened. She knew the online photos were doctored, but she wasn't aware of the details of the incident.Lydia had remained tight-lipped, and Ogden had firmly accused her.If Lambert, who was directly involved, could provide the truth, she could redirect p

Herman raised his glass and downed the drink in one gulp. "Refreshing!"Not to be outdone, Newman also tilted his head back and drank his wine.Odelia followed suit.Herman and Yves exchanged a glance and said in unison, "Great drinking!"The four of them ate and drank, conversing happily. Soon, Odelia and Newman started to feel the effects of the alcohol.At that moment, everything changed. Herman, who had been acting friendly, suddenly pulled out a small dagger and lunged at Odelia.Odelia screamed instinctively. Her scream snapped Newman out of his drunken haze. Instantly sober, he moved to shield Odelia without thinking.Yves didn't let up either; he smashed a bottle on the table and aimed the jagged glass at Odelia's face.The dagger plunged into Newman's chest, piercing deeply. Odelia's scream turned into a cry of agony.Outside, the commotion had been heard, and people were rushing toward the room.Newman f

"Two thousand? Twenty thousand? Or two hundred thousand?" Flora's face grew uglier with each word!Odelia glanced coldly at her, "It's two million! And I want it in cash! Otherwise, do you expect me to go abroad and enjoy the northwest wind? Of course, you can refuse my demands. In that case, I don't mind sending certain materials to certain departments. Trust me, it won't be something you'll enjoy!""What... what do you have in your hands?" Flora asked anxiously.Odelia chuckled, "Auntie, do you think I'm foolish enough to show it to you? Don't worry, as long as I'm safe, you and uncle will be safe too. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless. After all, I have a life to live!"At this point, Flora had no choice left. But regarding what Odelia mentioned, she also needed to retrieve it. Family knows best about their own affairs.Over the years, Mayor Zigler has secretly engaged in many self-serving activities, but as the saying goes, 'Those wh
