Davian leaned against the headboard, took the tea handed to him by the servant, and took a shallow sip.
Looking at the unfurling tea leaves in the tea, his voice sounded old and hoarse, "Two years ago, Cortez died unexpectedly, and this year, Kristian had another incident. Only you and Joselyn are left from the Rosario family. Joselyn's mind is all focused on the art exhibition."
He looked at Porter and said, "The heir of the Rosario family can only be you."
Porter's eyes were indifferent and open, "Grandfather, although I haven't been in this family for a long time, I truly consider the Rosario family as my own. When Cortez passed away, I didn't even know that I was a child of the Rosario family. It was only last year, before my mother passed away, that she revealed my true identity to me. She didn't want me to enjoy the wealth and luxury of the Rosario family, she just didn't want me to face this world alone. She hoped that I could have a warm home. I believe
When Landyn arrived at the door of the ward with Jaelyn and Madeleine, he heard Laurel crying."Look at that Madeleine, isn't she a jinx? Not only did she kill Kristian, but now she's causing abnormalities in my brain! I really hate her! I was right to oppose Kristian liking her in the first place."Davian angrily exclaimed, "Have you grown something in your brain or have you lost your brain? Do you even know what you're saying?"Laurel sobbed, "Now I am about to die, are you happy? You have always disliked me!"Davian glanced coldly, "Shut up!"He was so angry that he didn't bother to look at her anymore. He turned his head and immediately saw the person behind the small window at the door.He quickly got up from the chair and opened the door, "When did you guys come?"Landyn's eyes were indifferent, "Just happened to hear Laurel's words."Davian's temples throbbed now, "She felt herself very ill, so she spoke without thinking
Kristian's parents heard Davian say that Madeleine was pregnant with Kristian's child. They were extremely excited, as this would be the only bloodline left by Kristian in this world. Their son may have left, but his bloodline continued to be passed on.They visited and apologized in person that afternoon, and even brought many top-notch nutritional supplements that are not easily available on the market.Landyn had no objections to Kristian's parents, so he invited them in.Davis and Tabitha had also heard about this matter, so they also wanted to hear each other's thoughts.Kristian's father looked a bit fierce, so he appeared somewhat serious and solemn.Kristian's mother, on the other hand, was kind-hearted and graceful, even at the age of fifty-something. Time had favored her, leaving no traces behind.She was the kind of person who was easy to get along with, and being with Kristian's father felt like a gentle force overcoming a strong
Three days later, Jaelyn took Madeleine for a prenatal check-up.The doctor was arranged by Zoey. She dismissed other medical staff and performed an ultrasound for Madeleine.Jaelyn originally wanted to accompany Madeleine, but she was called out by Zoey's phone call."Zoey, Mom was with you while Madeleine was having an ultrasound."Zoey looked at the man on the screen and squinted her eyes. "I know, the doctor called me just now. Mom, actually, I wanted to tell you something."Jaelyn nodded, but as she continued to listen, the smile on her lips froze, and her eyes were filled with shock."How could this happen?" She took a deep breath. "Alright, I understand."After hanging up the phone, she took a deep breath, collected herself, and returned to the ultrasound room.Madeleine looked at Jaelyn approaching and reached out her hand to her, her voice filled with anticipation, "Mom, can you see the baby?"The doctor looked
Carl was extremely shocked when he saw Zoey's face."How, how could it be you?"Zoey lifted her foot and kicked the man's shoulder, grinding it harshly. The man let out a piercing scream."Do you think what you did was seamless?"Carl tried to grab her ankle, but Zoey kicked him hard, causing his arm to go numb."Broken, it broke."Zoey coldly glared at him, "Even if you died, you would still not be innocent!"Carl looked at Karter and said, "You can't just arrest me, Karter is also an accomplice!"Karter stepped forward, "Carl, I had given you a chance to change for the better, but you remained stubborn. After Kristian's passing, I heard that Madeleine was in great pain. At that time, I deeply regretted and blamed myself. Before you could harm Madeleine, I reached out to Russell. I revealed the whole story, the cause and effect of the situation. I no longer want to cover up for you, I don't want to make the same mistake again.
Zoey felt that Madeleine was truly special and not easy to come by. Even though the two of them liked each other, they couldn't be together because of a misunderstanding.Fortunately, the final outcome was good.Yes, Kristian was still alive.If there had been no surveillance on Karter and Carl at that time, the consequences can be imagined, and this outcome would have been destined to be a tragedy.Behind the feigned death, there was a desire to uncover another mastermind.Russell and Zoey kept it a secret from everyone and set up a scheme, getting everyone involved.Including Madeleine, she didn't know that she was actually not pregnant.Jaelyn was the first among them to know about this, because she needed to cooperate with Zoey to act out a play, exposing all the plans that Carl wanted to implement in the end, and capturing him in one fell swoop. This is catching the thief with the stolen goods.Otherwise, trying to catch h
Kristian held her hand and kissed it, "Madeleine, actually you were not pregnant."Madeleine was shocked to hear this, "What? What did you say?"She didn't know where she got the strength from, but she pushed the man aside.She sat up and looked at him incredulously, "What do you mean I'm not pregnant, explain!"Kristian placed both hands on her shoulders and said, "Actually, this was also part of the plan. There was another person involved in designing my death.""Another person?""Keaton's illegitimate child, Porter."How much did Madeleine know about the Rosario family? "Did he harm you? For the Rosario family's wealth?"Kristian nodded noncommittally, "Yes."Madeleine was puzzled, "You have already entered the entertainment industry and never thought about inheriting the Rosario family's business. Why would he want to harm you? Is it because you were favored in the Rosario family and he was afraid that you would chan
After Carl was caught, he did not admit to his crimes.However, faced with solid evidence, it was of no use even if he didn't admit it.The trial of this case will be held in one week for a public hearing.This week was calm and peaceful, but it was very likely the calm before the storm.A week later, Carl's case was publicly tried, and many media reporters came.Tiffany's mother and Theodore's mother both came, although Tiffany and Theodore were not good people, as mothers, they couldn't bear to see their own children meet a tragic end. They rushed forward wanting to fight Carl, but were stopped.Carl still said in a very cruel manner that they deserved to die, and he described in great detail the state of Tiffany's death and the process of Theodore's torture.Theodore died in a particularly brutal manner, he was tortured and killed.Carl came from a family of chefs, and he was skilled in knife techniques.Watching Theo
Porter promised everyone that the matter would be resolved soon and then returned to the office.Keaton followed and saw Porter sitting on the leather armchair, with his hands resting on the table, asking, "You said you would solve this matter soon, how do you plan to solve it?"Porter's cold gaze lifted, and he suddenly asked, "Have you ever liked my mom a little bit?"Keaton was taken aback. "Why are you asking about this? Honestly, she was just my secretary, I didn't have any other intentions towards her. That night was really a mistake under the influence of alcohol. I wanted to make it up to her, but I didn't expect her to resign and leave the next day.""If you had known that she was pregnant, you would definitely have asked her to have an abortion."Keaton remained silent, which was considered as an agreement.The thing he felt most guilty about in his life was this, and even now his wife still holds a grudge against him, even though
Nancy fidgeted with her fingers uneasily, not because she was nervous about her wedding today, but because she had a constant feeling that something was about to happen.Susie seemed to give up her rights easily, even though she was not the type of person who easily gives up.Nancy raised her hand and placed it on her small abdomen. The baby was almost fourteen weeks old, having gone through a fire and being kidnapped, facing numerous hardships and challenges.She hoped to have a peaceful day today.Leanna, noticing Nancy's serious expression, walked over and leaned against the dressing table. "What's wrong, Nancy? Do you have something on your mind?"Nancy pursed her lips and raised her gaze, saying, "It was just an inexplicable feeling of unease."Leanna bent down and took her hand, "Don't be too nervous, Dalton has everything arranged. It's not a big deal if the flowers are a little wilted, Zoey is taking care of it."Just now, Zoe
After Nancy left, Leanna started urging Zoey to go to the hospital.Zoey said to modify Nancy's wedding dress before going, but Leanna couldn't wait and directly messaged Russell, saying that Zoey was feeling a bit unwell in the stomach and asked him to come pick her up.Leanna didn't joke about this kind of thing, Russell didn't even hold a meeting, he drove directly to come.Zoey was unaware of this, and was momentarily surprised when she saw Russell standing at the office door.However, she quickly realized that it must have been Leanna who sent him.Russell asked concernedly, "Why was your stomach feeling uncomfortable? Did you eat something cold or spicy? I was going to take you to the hospital, why were you still toughing it out? If Leanna hadn't messaged me, would you have kept enduring it?"Zoey had not answered the man's question yet, but Russell packed up her bag and was about to take her to the hospital.Zoey pursed her lip
The evidence of Susie's kidnapping and attempted murder is solid, so the Thatcher family came to demand justice, and the highest prosecutor's office in Lochcliff did not release the person.They resorted to threats and temptations, but it was in vain. Susie remained steadfast in her position.Susie's younger brother, Emmett Thatcher, went to see her. The man looked at her disheveled appearance and sneered, "Betrayed by your own people, how does it feel?"Susie looked at the madman in front of her and snorted, "If you came to see me as a joke, then get lost!""Tsk, you may look gentle, but your personality is really terrible. No wonder Randall didn't want you."Susie stared at him and suddenly got up to leave.Emmett laughed and said, "They were fighting for custody of Nacy, not to mention that the people from Lochcliff were quite powerful."Susie got excited and said, "That was my daughter, why did they take her away! Did Randall ask
Susie watched as Zoey and her group looked at her with indifference, and in an instant, she realized that they thought she was setting a trap for Nancy, when in fact, she was the one being lured into a trap.She boasted of her superior intelligence, but now she has fallen into someone else's trap, naturally feeling dissatisfied.She despised Randall, "I treated you well, and yet you sided with them! Why did you treat me like this?"Randall's eyes were cold and indifferent. "It was you who taught others how to treat you! Susie, you see me as a dog, but in my eyes, aren't you just a female dog?"Susie had never been subjected to verbal attacks, and she hated him so much that she suddenly pulled out a silver firearm from the waist of her bodyguard.Before she could pull the trigger, a syringe was shot into the back of her hand.In an instant, her entire arm became numb, and then half of her body followed suit. She couldn't hold herself up and k
Nancy was put on a black hood, and her heart was pounding.To be honest, she was very afraid of death now, because she still had a child in her womb.If she were alone, she would never become a burden or a weakness to anyone.As long as there was a glimmer of hope, she would try to survive.The car drove for a long time before stopping. Nancy was taken out of the car and was unsteadily pushed towards the inside.Not knowing what she tripped over, she fell to her knees on the ground.She felt a sharp pain, as her arms were supported by two people and she continued to walk forward.It seemed like she had taken a few turns before she was finally put down by someone.Nancy's knee was hurting terribly, but she still stood up straight.Because the eyes couldn't see, the ears seemed to be particularly useful at this time.She heard a woman's voice, to be precise, Susie's voice.She had only met Susie twice, but th
Dalton's heart tightened suddenly as Russell fell silent.He subconsciously disagreed in his heart, after all, if Nancy were to encounter any problems, it would be a matter of life and death. He dared not take this risk.If not done so, Susie was like a time bomb, ready to explode at any moment.Susie relied on the Thatcher family. The Thatcher family had their hands in both legal and illegal activities, secretly training assassins and having people specifically assigned to clean up crime scenes for the assassins. Therefore, she felt invincible.Russell came up with this idea because if Susie were to attack again at Lochcliff, he would have a way to detain her.However, the Thatcher family needed someone, and Russell had a way to incriminate her.Dalton remained silent for a long time, "You made me think about it."Russell did not persuade him anymore, because he knew Dalton would consider what consequences would develop if things con
This was the first time the two of them had a peaceful conversation, and it was surprising to see how harmoniously the rivals could get along.Randall chuckled lightly and said, "No need, I couldn't trouble you and Nancy."Dalton didn't like to drink coffee, but today he ordered an iced Americano, which was rare for him. The bitterness made him frown."I don't know how you could drink it."Randall caressed the walls of the coffee cup, "I suppose it was because my heart was too bitter, but after drinking this, it didn't feel as bitter anymore."Dalton looked at the man, who had been disheveled for several days, and without the initial hostility, he unexpectedly felt some sympathy.Randall laughed and said, "Don't look at me like that, I didn't need sympathy.""Sorry," Dalton looked at him, "Nancy told me about your past. To be honest, if it weren't for those obstacles, you would have built a cozy little home together. I'm quite envious
After they received the certificate, Dalton moved Nancy's luggage from the apartment to his home.When she came back, Nancy had a feeling of things having changed.Although it was still in black and white, the cold tones didn't seem as cold anymore.Indeed, what affects one's emotions is not the environment but rather one's mood.Dalton saw her standing at the entrance and asked, "Why aren't you going in? Is it because you don't like this style of decoration? I was thinking that since you're pregnant, you shouldn't stay on the villa side anymore. Even if the newly renovated one is environmentally friendly, it may still have some odor. I'm worried that your morning sickness will be severe."Nancy couldn't smell pungent odors these past few days, such as garlic, chives, and onions.Dalton felt that this place was closer to his hospital, so if there was an emergency, it would be more convenient for him to rush back. Otherwise, staying at Nancy'
During Nancy's hospitalization, both Eugene and Chelsea came to visit.At that time, they still didn't know about her pregnancy.Chelsea cooked Manhattan clam chowder for her.She sat by the sickbed and fed Nancy.Nancy was very embarrassed, after all, her own mother had never treated her like this."I could do it myself."Chelsea shook her head and said with regret, "I have always hoped to have a daughter, but after giving birth to Dalton, my ovarian function deteriorated and I can no longer have children. When I first saw you, I liked you. You have a dignified and elegant appearance, although you can be a bit cold, but you don't give off an arrogant vibe. I was especially happy when you and Dalton got engaged. I know you both had reservations about the arranged marriage, but I believe you can make it work. Things were going as we expected, Dalton was in a good mood for a while, and he even called us without impatience. I knew your relation
