“What brought you all the way here, Mother?” Chairman Lionel asked cautiously.“If I hadn’t come, my grandson would’ve been killed by that venomous snake! You call yourself a father, yet you can’t even protect your own child. You may be good at business, but your judgment when it comes to women is absolutely terrible.” Camellia harshly scolded the chairman.The chairman frowned and turned toward Sarah. Instantly, guilt flashed across her face. She avoided her husband’s gaze and shrank back. Then she glanced toward her trusted butler and subtly signaled for him to hide Lionel Rick away.“Mother, I don’t understand what you mean. If you’re talking about Rick, then I’m afraid you’ve misunderstood me.” Sarah immediately began defending herself.“Oh? Misunderstood you?” Camellia shot her a contemptuous look.Sarah carefully stepped forward and began spinning lies. Acting was what she did best. Within seconds, tears were already streaming down her face.“I’ve always treated Rick like my own

20 years ago.Madam Nancy, the first wife of Chairman Lionel, suddenly passed away. Less than a month after her funeral, the chairman hastily remarried. In the eyes of the aristocracy, Chairman Lionel had been cheating behind his wife’s back for a very long time. Rumors spread that because of her husband’s affair, Nancy suffered from depression for years. Whenever she was lucid, the two of them would constantly argue, and in the end, she died miserably in her sickbed. His mother’s death was the reason Lionel Rick hated his father and became withdrawn ever since.As for Sarah, she was the most beautiful woman in the entertainment industry at the time, with an endless dating history before marrying Chairman Lionel. Any man only needed to look at her once to become captivated by her unreal beauty and seductive figure. Sarah knew she was beautiful, so her standard for choosing a husband had to be the most outstanding and wealthy man possible.Sarah’s lavish wedding, reeking of money, beca

One week later.The billionaire’s mansion unexpectedly welcomed an uninvited guest. It was Lionel Rick’s stepmother, Sarah. She came together with the twin sisters currently famous among high society, Kendall Lily and Kendall Olivia.From the perspective of the press and the aristocratic circles, this was likely the first step in an alliance between two renowned families. The Kendall family owned the country’s largest petroleum corporation and had many close ties with political elites. Their two daughters had just returned from studying abroad in Switzerland and were at the perfect age to marry the two sons of the Lionel family.Although Lionel Rick was the heir to the family, unless something major happened, he almost never interacted with the rest of the Lionels.If the Kendall twins wanted to meet their future fiancé in person, they had to do so through Sarah’s name. After all, she was Lionel’s legal mother, as well as the woman with the most authority in the family.Between the tw

“The receipts have your fingerprints and signature on them... and I also have the surveillance footage from that day. If I hand all the evidence over to the police, this won’t end with just paying back the debt. You’ll also be charged with theft. You’ll spend at least a few years in prison.”“P... prison?”The moment Mrs. Oliver heard that, she nearly had a heart attack. Her eyes rolled back until only the whites showed. Frank Tino shouted, “Mom!” and everyone rushed over to help her up. They tried using the excuse of taking her to the hospital to avoid Danielle, but unfortunately, Danielle stepped in front of them first.“Stop pretending, Mrs. Oliver! Even if you get hospitalized, you still have to pay me back.”Frank Tino could no longer hold himself back. Pointing a finger at Danielle’s face, he lashed out angrily.“Danielle, you’re vicious. The past is already over, yet you still insist on digging it all back up. My mother was your former mother-in-law no matter what. She’s old al

After arguing for a while, Danielle turned her face away and burst into aggrieved tears. A woman’s tears truly were the deadliest weapon. The billionaire quickly softened and lowered his voice. “Don’t cry! I won’t make things difficult for you anymore… get up and change. Don’t you need to handle your parents’ funeral arrangements today?” The billionaire let go of Danielle. He sat up, dressed himself neatly, and prepared to leave her room. Before leaving, he placed a condolence card on the bed, one he had prepared in advance. Inside was some money to help cover the funeral expenses. He knew Danielle was struggling, and she wouldn’t refuse it. Danielle watched Lionel’s retreating figure with mixed emotions, feeling a little sad as well. Even though they had argued fiercely earlier, in the end, he had been the one to compromise first. He had even prepared money for her… the truth was, she owed the billionaire yet another favor. --- Assistant Mark arrived at the mansion early in the

A cold drizzle lingered throughout the entire day, damp and miserable, enough to drive even the stubborn crows into hiding. The scene looked painfully similar to the day Danielle had been cast aside by her husband’s family.“Click!” The car door opened.A taxi stopped in front of the mansion gates. It was already late, past eleven at night, the hour when everyone should’ve been asleep. The housekeeper’s face lit up the moment she saw Danielle. She hurried over with an umbrella and spoke eagerly.“Oh, Danielle, you’ve finally come back! The billionaire has been waiting for you! I already prepared a new nightgown for you! No need to thank me!”“Mrs. Nancy, whatever it is can wait until tomorrow... I’m exhausted right now.” Danielle held a hand against her chest as she brushed past the woman, her heart still aching from the sudden death of her parents.The smile on the housekeeper’s lips twisted unpleasantly. Her expression darkened in irritation as she grabbed Danielle’s wrist and spoke
