“God, this is so good,” Evelyn murmured after tasting a bite of the stir-fried shrimp that had just been served. She picked one up and placed it on Sebastian’s plate. “You should try it.”Sebastian glanced at her briefly, then calmly ate the shrimp she’d given him. “You’re right, it’s good,” he said evenly, his tone flat, but not cold. “If you like it, eat as much as you want.”The sight made Mrs. Reed and Victoria, seated across from them, go completely silent. Everyone in the Reed family knew Sebastian never ate food that had already been touched by someone else. Even during family dinners, he refused to use the same serving spoon as others. He was obsessive about hygiene and food. Yet now, right in front of everyone, he ate something Evelyn had placed on his plate, without the slightest hesitation.Evelyn felt the curious stares around the table and instinctively touched her cheek. “What? Do I have something on my face?”Mrs. Reed quickly regained her composure. “No, dear. Go ahead

Evelyn sat calmly across from Mrs. Reed, the family matriarch, who occupied the main seat in the living room with the poise of someone used to being obeyed. The air was thick, heavy with unspoken tension, like the quiet before a storm.“Mrs. Reed,” Evelyn began quietly, “you mentioned something about the money I took from the Callahans after my divorce?”Mrs. Reed straightened her back. “Isn’t that a fact?”“It is,” Evelyn replied, her voice steady. “That was what I was entitled to.”Mrs. Reed’s eyes narrowed, her tone cold and sharp. “Entitled? Legally, maybe. But let’s be honest, after tasting luxury, women like you start thinking marrying rich and divorcing well is the fastest way to multiply your fortune. You use your looks like an investment, profit guaranteed, no loss.”Evelyn met her gaze without flinching. “You talk as if marriage itself is just a business deal.”Victoria, who was standing beside Mrs. Reed, cut in sharply. “Watch your tone, Evelyn! Do you realize who you’re ta

On the other side of the city, at the Reed family estate, the morning moved in quiet rhythm. Mrs. Reed stood in the glass conservatory, watering the blooming roses.“Mom,” Victoria’s voice came softly. “Sebastian said he’s bringing her here tonight. Should we ask what kind of food she likes, so the kitchen can prepare?”Mrs. Reed glanced over her shoulder. “No need. Just make sure the dishes are decent.”“Alright. But… this is just dinner, right? No need to overdo it. Just enough to keep Sebastian’s reputation intact.”Mrs. Reed smiled faintly. “Exactly. Just dinner. But it’s still a good chance to see for myself what kind of woman she really is. What people say might not be true. I want to understand what Sebastian sees in her.”Victoria narrowed her eyes. “I still don’t get what he sees in someone like that… other than her manipulative charm, maybe?”Mrs. Reed’s face hardened. She stopped what she was doing and turned sharply toward her daughter-in-law.“Victoria,” she said flatly.

Sebastian stared out the window, his expression calm but his gaze sharp and unreadable. “Some people just don’t know how to stay still,” he said flatly.Daniel, sitting across from him, looked surprised. “What do you mean?”“It’s time to speed things up,” Sebastian replied quietly, not bothering to look at him.Night had fallen over Boston. On the outskirts of the city, a restaurant called Space was about to close. The lights were dim, the music soft. Near the window, a woman sat alone. Her dress caught the glow of the lamps, giving her an air of quiet elegance and intelligence. She looked composed, though her eyes kept drifting toward the clock and occasionally to her phone.A waiter approached with a polite smile. “Excuse me, miss. We’re about to close soon. Is your guest still coming?”The woman smiled faintly, showing no trace of annoyance. “He might be running late. Please, just bring the food first. I’ll wait a little longer.”“Of course,” the waiter said kindly.After he left,

“I said it’s none of your business, Mr. Reed. You don’t get that, do you?”“You hurt her.”The words hit Harry like a slap. He suddenly realized what had just happened. His gaze dropped to Evelyn’s wrist, still trapped in his grip, where faint red marks were starting to show. His expression stiffened, and he quickly let go. “I’m sorry, Evelyn. I didn’t mean to.”“It’s okay.”Evelyn forced a small smile, then stepped closer to Sebastian and deliberately looped her arm through his. “Harry, I already promised Sebastian I’d have dinner with him. Is there something important you want to talk about? If not, how about you join us? Sebastian’s not a stranger.”The name Sebastian seemed to echo in Harry’s head, and his face instantly went pale.“Harry? What’s wrong?” Evelyn’s voice broke through his daze.Harry blinked, as if snapping out of a trance. “No, it’s nothing. We’ll talk another time.” He glanced at Sebastian briefly, then turned and got into his car. The engine roared to life, and a

The night around the area had slowly quieted down.Harry stared at his phone screen, scrolling through the group chat that had gone silent an hour ago. He took a deep breath, muttering under his breath, “I’ve got plans to go shopping with Delilah tomorrow. Maybe I’ll ask her to have dinner too.”He took one last drag from his cigarette before crushing it on the ground. Then he dialed a number.“It’s me. Harry.”The woman on the other end sounded surprised, and a little too pleased. “You? Calling me this late? I thought you said we shouldn’t talk in private anymore.”“Are you free tomorrow?”There was a pause before she answered softly, “Yeah. Why?”“Dinner. Private restaurant, a friend’s place. Around six or seven. Come early.”“Do we have to go that far? I know a good private spot near my office. No one would see us. If...”“If you don’t want to, forget it.”“That’s not what I meant,” she said quickly. “Alright. I’ll come.”“Good. It’s late. Get some rest.”“You too,” she murmured b

6 months later...At the time, Jovanka's family didn't dare tell Leona that she was Jovanka's twin sister, as they feared it would affect the development of the fetus.Now Leona was 9 months pregnant and she was ready to give birth.That's when they dared to tell Leona who she really was.When Leona found out, she was speechless for a few days.She was a little stressed out and it caused her to have contractions.Archie rushed her to the hospital.* * * Archie and Leona were separated by a door.The nurses and doctors worked together to give Leona the drugs to induce labor.Everyone was busy, constantly monitoring various devices and closely observing the changes in every organ in Leona's body.Leona lay on the bed. Within minutes of the injection being inserted into her body, she felt an excruciating pain in her abdomen.Leona screamed in pain in the ward. This drug speeds up the labor process and shortens the duration of labor pains.The mother's normal contractions gradually becam

The next day, Leona invited Dona to accompany her to meet Jovanka's family.Leona wore a more formal light blue dress with her hair in a bun.The jewelry she chose was very elegant.Dona couldn't help but admire her, "Leona, you're very suitable to wear such an elegant outfit, it's beautiful! The design of this dress is so good, if you didn't look closely, you wouldn't know you were pregnant."Leona smiled and replied, "Yes, I like this skirt too."Dona took the initiative to wear Leona's bracelet.A small bracelet, not very eye-catching, but this simple little look was very pretty.Xavier called, "Have you had breakfast? I'll be waiting at the door."Dona made a face as if it was true and said, "No wonder others say that most women who meet Xavier fall in love with him. Such a warm and caring man, you can't even think of not liking him!""Alright, we'll be right out." Leona didn't listen to what Dona said and hung up the phone quickly, saying to Dona, "You! If you like him, he's your

After accompanying her mother shopping and driving her home, Leona sat on the sofa and wanted to take a nap.The phone rang softly.Leona looked at it and it was Xavier.Leona picked up the phone, "Hello?"Xavier's voice was heard on the phone, "Leona, I'm really sorry! Jovanka's family would like to invite you to be their guest, what do you think?"To be the guest of the Jovanka family?Leona was stunned.Isn't that too serious?Leona hesitated a little.Then Xavier said on the phone, "You don't need to make up your mind now. There will be a party for three days here. So you can take some time to think about it."After hanging up the phone, there was no drowsiness at all.Leona was a little confused about what Jovanka's family meant.After hanging up from Leona, Xavier immediately called Jovanka's family.Knowing that Leona did not accept the invitation from Jovanka's family, Jovanka's father and mother became worried and immediately looked for an excuse to go home to discuss the cou

"Mother, didn't I tell you? I don't care who I am at all. It's enough that I only have you as my mother! Ever since I was little, you worked hard to raise me by yourself, I don't need anyone else to protect me, I just want my mother to be happy." Leona interrupted Rose's words and said, "After all these years, ordinary days come and go, there's nothing wrong with that! I'm very happy."Rose smiled bitterly, "Actually, I found you that night, abandoned on the grass by the roadside with a bloodstained placenta, obviously just born. But that little blanket wrapped around you that I've always kept, maybe it's the proof you need to find your family!"Leona's body trembled.Sensing Leona's resistance, Rose stopped and said nothing. "Alright, I won't say anything if you don't want to hear it. I'm sorry I lied to you because I was afraid of losing you."Leona didn't answer, she lowered her head and closed her eyes.No matter what her true identity was, she also didn't want to know who her bio

"Find some people to serve her." Archie's slender fingers crossed over the gun in his hand, "Tell those bums that if they stay inside this place for more than ten minutes, give them ten thousand dollars."Hearing Archie's words, another group of bums rushed towards Rick's body.As for Rick and the small group of gangsters that Oriana found, they had long since been subdued and were kneeling on the side waiting to be disposed of.Rose was also saved.Archie frowned slightly, "Send her to the hospital for examination."Worried about Leona, Rose nodded at Archie and left immediately.At that moment, someone stood carefully in front of Archie.Owen explained in a low voice, "He's the one who secretly changed Miss's drink."The corner of Archie's mouth slowly raised as the gun in his hand pointed at the person's chest.The person was so frightened that he immediately knelt in front of Archie, trembling and shouting, "I did what you said! Please forgive me! I didn't know that the person Ric

As soon as Rose heard that Leona wanted to exchange her for her, she shook her head desperately, "Leona, don't! Leona, you can't do that for me! Leona, you're actually..."Rose said a sentence that implied a secret.But right now no one was interested in hearing this secret from her.Rose's words were immediately cut off by Oriana. "Enough! I'm tired of seeing mother and daughter love! Leona, neither you nor your mother will leave here today!"Of course Leona couldn't leave.Because she and Rick had been sedated.After the drug took effect, Rick would sleep with Leona.At that time Oriana would take a picture of her...Hahaha...Leona, you made me do this!Wait, why does my whole body feel hot...The face of Rick, who was standing beside her, suddenly changed drastically as well!He immediately turned his head and subconsciously looked at Oriana."You... drugged her?" Rick stared at Oriana in disbelief.Leona was instantly taken aback by the two people's change in attitude and immedia
