LOGINDanielle fell silent for a moment before saying, "Matthew can just continue standing outside if he wants to. He's a grown man, so he needs to take responsibility for his own choices."Stefan knocked lightly and walked into the study, carrying a glass of warm milk. He then said gently, "You've worked hard. You should have some milk and then get some sleep soon, Danielle."Danielle accepted the glass of warm milk. Their cozy bedside chat created a sanctuary of warmth that drowned out the sound of the storm battering the window.…It was the following morning when one of the household staff rushed in to report. "It's an emergency, Mrs. Weaver. That man has passed out!"Danielle got dressed and went outside to check, only to find that Matthew had actually waited through the night. He was burning with fever and lay unconscious on the ground, so she arranged for him to be transported to the hospital.Matthew grabbed her hand as soon as he regained consciousness, his voice sounding incr
Upon discovering Taylor's disability, Meghan immediately began looking for prosthetics that would suit him. However, prosthetics weren't just something one would pick up at a grocery store; it was a long-term commitment. She knew she had to be meticulous in her choice since the market was flooded with countless models.She knew that the only viable option was the new products from Olivia Technology, but since these smart bionic prosthetics required custom fitting, she hit a dead end. She and Taylor had long since been blacklisted by Olivia Technology, making it impossible for her to make a purchase.Those cheaper prosthetics required a long period of adjustment. Taylor, who was a spoiled child, would let out piercing cries daily and simply refused to cooperate.Meghan cursed Danielle incessantly because of this.She ultimately took a gamble and broke into the warehouse that belonged to Gardner Group to steal the old inventory. She seemed to have forgotten, however, that she herse
Meghan's remark was like a heavy bombshell that stunned everyone in the room. Before long, Matthew was summoned to the police station to confirm the circumstances."That's impossible! How could you be pregnant? I made sure to use protection every time!" Matthew exclaimed after hurrying into the police station. He then realized with a shock that Meghan must have schemed against him.Meghan shielded her stomach and looked at Matthew faintly. "I'm really carrying your baby, Matthew. If you don't believe it, you can do a paternity test; at four months, we can already do an amniotic fluid test. "In any case, Danielle has already taken your daughter away. If this baby is a son, let me give birth to him."Matthew stared at Meghan in terror, feeling as though the strength had been sucked out of his entire body. He had no idea how he could ever face Danielle again if Meghan was really pregnant with his child.They arrived at the hospital and did a DNA test, with the results expedited. The
Tiana froze, humiliation washing over her face. "I-I had no idea since Matthew never told me any of this. I was under the impression that—"Danielle snorted dismissively. "Meghan's use of substandard materials harmed countless people and dragged the reputation of this technology through the mud. "However, my father had a contingency in place; the core technology of this patent has been undergoing further R&D with his overseas team all along. Thus, the smart bionic prosthetics Gardner Group was manufacturing were already outdated."Tiana, previously full of confidence, now looked deathly pale with shame. "You should have protected Matthew's reputation! You're his partner. How can you live with yourself, publicly sabotaging his business like this, Danielle?"Danielle burst into laughter. "You should remember that Matthew has nothing to do with me since he and I never officially registered our marriage, Mrs. Gardner. He married Meghan instead—the housekeeper who was dismissed a while
Matthew stared at her in disbelief. "What do you mean, Danielle? How could you let Olivia take his last name? Do you not know that Stefan and I are rivals?"With his arm around Danielle, Stefan already ushered her away. The door shut behind them, cutting off Matthew's frantic shouting.…Danielle threw herself into her work following that day. She established a new company with Stefan's support and named it Olivia Technology, in honor of her daughter.She revived the smart bionic prosthetics project, a patented technology that had always been her father's creation. Meghan had previously taken charge of the project, but she had merely been coasting on existing work; the proprietary core technology remained under Danielle's exclusive control.Upon hearing that Danielle had established a new company, the press moved in quickly. She had barely stepped out of the company building before a swarm of reporters met her, thrusting microphones in her face."You've once worked at Gardner Gro
"Who said we don't have feelings for each other?" Stefan's low baritone cut through the air as he appeared from behind the door. He stood beside Danielle. When they looked at each other and smiled, they actually appeared incredibly well-matched.Matthew grabbed Stefan by the collar and bellowed, "Why is it always you, Stefan? You've been taking what's mine since we were kids! Haven't you had enough?"Stefan easily shook him off and said with a sneer, "Danielle is a human being, not something you can own. You also know exactly how dishonorable your methods were; originally, the one Danielle liked should have been me, Matthew."Matthew's expression shifted instantly.Danielle caught the change in his expression. A chill ran down her spine. "You mean…"Stefan nodded before staring Matthew down. "I was the one who rescued Danielle at the masquerade ball held by the tycoon in Khester eight years ago. You just stepped in and claimed the credit for yourself, Matthew."Danielle immedia
