Chapter 421

“Haley, why don’t we eat out tonight?” Richard suggested, noticing the unusually quiet house. With Wilfred working late and Helen out, it was just the four of them left. Alex immediately agreed, and even Chase nodded enthusiastically. Haley decided to go along with the idea.The four of them set out together. Just as they stepped through the restaurant’s entrance, they unexpectedly ran into one of Haley’s colleagues from the art world.“Haley! What a coincidence! You’re eating here too?” The artist greeted warmly before glancing at Richard, who was standing beside her with the kids. “And who’s this?” His curious eyes lingered on the group.Not wanting any misunderstandings, Haley quickly explained, “This is my brother, the boys’ uncle.”“Oh, I see.” The man smiled and turned his attention to the twins. “Twins, huh? Haley, you’re really blessed.”For a moment, he stared at the children, feeling they looked oddly familiar, though he couldn’t quite place why. Haley forced a pol

The screen dimmed, and a sly smile tugged at Jacob’s lips. His eyes held a mix of unrestrained mischief and an unmistakable hint of desire. Emma’s body was something he couldn’t get enough of. It had been two days since the funeral, two days since he last had her, and the memory was enough to stir a longing deep within him.*At a dinner table filled with the sound of clinking glasses and strained pleasantries, Harry raised his glass to Mr. Lewis, the family lawyer. “This success is all thanks to you, Attorney Lewis. Let me toast to your outstanding efforts,” Harry declared, his tone oozing with smug satisfaction.He had already bribed Attorney Lewis to alter the will and make it official. That old man of his was so biased. He had actually intended to leave the company to Justin, that ungrateful brat.But now that Harry knew, there was no way he would sit back and let it happen.Attorney Lewis, generously compensated for his cooperation, offered a smile. “Chairman Yates, it’s

The executives aligned with Justin and the neutral shareholders initially celebrated Justin’s victory, but soon their joy turned to shock.Great-grandsons? Since when were there two great-grandsons?Everyone exchanged confused glances.Attorney Lewis continued, “Liquid assets and real estate will be divided equally between Mr. Yates Sr.’s two sons. Since the elder son, Henry Yates, has passed away, his portion will be inherited by his grandson, Justin Yates. Jewelry and other personal effects belonging to his wife, Mrs. Sophia Yates, will be divided equally between their two daughters-in-law, Mrs. Heidi Yates and Mrs. Stella Yates.“The will has now been fully read,” Attorney Lewis said, closing the file and stepping aside.What?Everyone received a share of the inheritance, but Harry’s branch of the family got the least. Even the so-called great-grandsons, who had never been heard of or seen before, received shares. Yet Harry’s son, Jacob, received nothing.The members of Har

Harry fumed silently, “Justin can’t be allowed to control all the shares! If that happens, how will my branch of the family ever rise again?”The room fell silent as every gaze turned to Attorney Lewis. Calmly, he reopened the file, scanning the will once more for confirmation. After a moment, he looked up, his expression firm. “The content is correct—it explicitly states great-grandsons.”Justin was equally baffled. What could his grandfather have meant by this?Low murmurs began to ripple through the room. “Could it be Alex? Lately, Mr. Justin Yates has been bringing that kid to the office a lot,” someone whispered.Another nodded. “That actually makes sense.”Harry’s faction also began exchanging knowing looks, all their thoughts converging on Alex. Harry, however, voiced the insinuation directly. “Only those who have formally been recognized by the Yates family elders can inherit shares,” he thundered, his implication clear: a secret love child had no legitimate claim.Ju

The phone in Haley’s apron pocket buzzed, displaying Justin’s name. She immediately rejected the call. But the phone kept vibrating, and her annoyance grew with each repeated rejection. Finally, she long-pressed the power button, ready to shut it off completely. Before she could, a text popped up: “If you don’t answer, I’ll come find you right now.”Was he threatening her?Her thumb hovered over the shutdown option, torn. Turning off the phone would stop the incessant interruptions, but knowing his recent erratic behavior, there was a chance he would actually show up. Reluctantly, she stepped into the stairwell for privacy and called him back. “Haley, I…” Justin’s voice sounded almost breathless with excitement, as if he hadn’t expected her to call. But the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something so important shouldn’t be discussed over the phone. “Can you pick me up after work today?” “Justin, don’t push your luck!” she snapped. Realizing her voice had

Justin shook his head firmly. “No, I don’t want it.”“How about the chicken head?” Haley asked.Another shake.“Then what are you even here for if you’re not going to eat?” Haley snapped, her patience wearing thin.Sensing her irritation, Justin quickly changed his tune. “I’ll eat it! I just… I’m not used to this kind of food yet. But don’t worry, I’ll make it one of my favorites.”Haley shot him a skeptical glance but decided not to press further. Turning to the waiter, she ordered, “Five skewers of each.”After adding a couple of drinks to the order, she handed back the menu, feeling it was enough. As the waiter left, Haley unlocked her phone to send a quick message to Richard, letting him know she wouldn’t be home for dinner.When she glanced up, she found Justin wiping the table with a napkin. After finishing the table, he moved on to the chairs, his meticulousness contrasting starkly with the casual vibe of the barbecue joint. The table wasn’t dirty—just the usual grease

Justin didn’t dare provoke Haley further, nor did he mention the inheritance left by Mr. Yates Sr. for the great-grandchildren. Once he avoided sensitive topics, their conversation settled into a surprisingly civil exchange. Justin took every opportunity to steer the dialogue, tossing out casual questions, though only a few earned responses. Still, those sparse moments were enough to make him inwardly delighted.“How’s the art exhibition coming along? I heard it opens tomorrow,” he asked, trying to sound genuinely interested.When Justin discovered that she was the renowned artist “Haley,” he was both astonished and thrilled. He marveled at her talent and accomplishments but was equally surprised by her hidden identity. No wonder she had been inexplicably drawn to the artist “Haley” when she lost his memory. Somehow, everything seemed to connect as if guided by fate.“I’ll be attending tomorrow,” he added, watching her reaction.“You don’t even like art. There’s no reason for y

Haley would never be foolish enough to share her travel plans with him. What should have been a quick meal stretched on endlessly as Justin intentionally dragged things out, savoring every extra moment he could spend with her. When they finally made it to the car, Justin hurried to open the passenger door for her. “Let me drive you home,” he offered smoothly. “You just ate—take a break and relax.“Why don’t we stop by the park for a quick walk? You ate quite a bit. Don’t you feel full?” Haley glanced at him, unimpressed. She had eaten a bit more than usual. After all, it had been five years since her last visit to this barbecue spot. With so many restaurants to explore since her return, this place hadn’t yet made it onto the list for her and Helen to revisit together. Still, his suggestion irritated her. “Walking with you? Forget it. Having dinner together was already my limit. And you driving my car to take me home? Don’t you think that’s a bit ridiculous?” “I’ll dro

“Haley, don’t be too upset. Wilfred hurt you, but you still have me. Don’t worry about him trying to trap you. You can count on me to protect you and help you leave him,” Justin declared with unwavering confidence. He knew Haley well. She wasn’t the type to tolerate betrayal or injustice, and being as vulnerable as she was, leaving Wilfred on her own would be nearly impossible. But he was determined to be the one to help her.“And your daughter? I’ll treat her as my own. I won’t let either of you suffer,” he vowed, his voice full of sincerity, hoping to show her he was someone she could rely on forever.“Get out of the car right now!” Haley snapped, her anger boiling over as she unlocked the car door.Justin, still rambling from the passenger seat, made no move to leave. Haley, furious, unbuckled her seatbelt, stormed out of the car, and yanked open the passenger door. She forcefully pulled Justin out of the seat, practically dragging him onto the street.“If you’re upset, you

“Ahhh—” Alex wailed dramatically.“Where’s Helen? I haven’t seen her around,” Haley asked.“Don’t even mention her!” Richard jumped at the chance to complain. “Ever since she went public with Zac, she’s been shamelessly skipping out on coming home. Sis, you need to set her straight.”She’s got a man now and has completely forgotten about her family, leaving the kids for him to look after.Haley started walking Chase and Alex upstairs. “You should hurry up and find a girlfriend yourself. Then you’ll understand why she doesn’t want to come home.”*At Harry’s villa, Stella’s loud voice echoed through the living room as she flew into a rage.“That old man! Even on his deathbed, he played favorites with the eldest son’s family. Didn’t you already bribe Attorney Lewis to alter the will? How did the shares we were supposed to get still slip through our fingers?”She was furious. Everything had been carefully planned, so how had it all fallen apart in the end? Sure, her mother-in-la
