Late at night, Orlander summoned Freddy to the study, where Minnie was present as well."What? Calling off the engagement?" Minnie exclaimed in dismay. "Orlander Hodgson, are you joking? The engagement news is made public now. The wives of the local officials have been buttering me up and showering me with gifts when they learned about the engagement!"We're so close to the marriage, and now you're telling me the engagement is canceled? How could I show my face in front of my friends?""Dad, what happened? Why are we calling off the engagement?" The memory of the humiliating night made Freddy seethe. "Lauren humiliated me enough by taking Cyrus' hand to my face and dancing with him. Now, they're calling off the engagement? It's a disgrace!"Didn't Zoe claim that Lauren was a fool? Lauren was anything but that—she had flirted with another man under her fiancé's watch.Freddy thought, "I should have married that slut and tortured her daily for cheating on me!""Your feelings are no

"That's true. But Cyrus Taylor is way better than Freddy Hodgson." Rory scoffed. "How dare Freddy Hodgson complain to you in your face? I wonder if he's lost his mind."The scowl on Javier's face deepened when Rory breached the topic. Rory added, "Mr. Javier, I think Cyrus is serious about Ms. Lauren. Why don't you call off the engagement to Freddy Hodgson? Marrying Ms. Lauren off to the Taylors is more advantageous for you. I'm sure Mr. Newton would be glad—""Firstly, my son wanted to marry Alyssa; now, my daughter wants to marry Cyrus. Are there no other suitors for my children other than the Taylors?" Javier furiously slammed his hand on the armrest.Rory quickly shut up. Javier looked out of the window indignantly. Objectively speaking, Mandy's son was much better than Freddy or even Landon. Javier was aware of Freddy's lack of affection for Lauren—the young man merely went along with his family's arrangements. In comparison, Javier could tell that Cyrus genuinely loved L

Upon hearing that, Zoe glared at Freddy. She examined his face which was colored with anger, all because of Lauren.She had a feeling that Freddy's feelings for Lauren had changed. In the past, he displayed nothing but scorn toward Lauren. However, he seemed to be green in envy over Lauren now."No way… I can't let this slide!" His temples throbbed in fury. "Our families agreed on the marriage. Lauren Beckett shall be mine, and no one can take her from me!"As he was speaking, Zoe straddled him naked without warning and slapped him twice in the face. He looked confounded. "Zoe, w-what are you doing?""Freddy Hodgson, that's too much! Didn't you vow only to love me in this life? You said you only have me in your heart!" She glowered at him as she tightened her grip on his neck as if she wanted to suffocate him to death. "All your reactions show that you're catching feelings for that idiot. Tell me. Have you fallen for Lauren Beckett?""N-No, Zoe, I didn't! I'm marrying her to aveng

Zoe calmed down and said to Betty, "I have an important call to take. Wait for me. I'll make the arrangements and call you back."Then, she hung up on Betty and picked up Penelope's call with a sweet tone, "Hello, Mom…"Penelope sighed. She began hesitantly, "Zoe, come with me to visit Uncle Preston in the hospital. Your grandpa will be there as well.""Is Uncle Preston… hospitalized?""Landon beat him up badly. He suffered from serious injuries—he lost his arm, to be exact, and he's forever crippled. He drifts in and out of sleep all day. I hesitated to tell you about it because I'm worried that his bad condition would give you a scare.""What? Did Landon…" Stunned, Zoe cared less about Preston's misfortune than her own fate. She feared for herself now that Landon had dealt with Preston.Landon seemed to be getting serious. Based on Zoe's understanding of his character, she knew that this was just the start. He wouldn't go easy on Preston, and that was the price one had to pay f

"What?""Is that true?"Jasper and Alyssa exclaimed at the same time—one looking astonished, and the other agitated.Sean gulped. He was parched from rushing all the way here. "It's true! To prevent anyone from tampering with the result, I made Dr. Lovelace perform the DNA test in Mosgravia. The DNA test in Solana City was carried out in one of the Taylor family's hospitals. I even monitored the entire process!"Jasper's lashes cast a shadow under his eyes. He repeatedly read the outrageous and wicked results printed on the report. It clearly said that Betty was not related to Javier.Alyssa soon calmed down after all the agitation. The report had confirmed her longtime skepticism. She had started questioning Betty's bloodline from Betty's personality, character, and looks. Now, the truth had finally been revealed."Sean, did Julien say anything to you when you requested the DNA test?""Oh, he did." Sean looked amused. "He asked me if any one of Mr. Winston's wives was pregnant and if

"Why can't you even handle a minor task? Do you not want your bonus?" Jasper scowled.Alyssa kept her composure. "Xavier, calm down. Take your time.""After Betty left the hospital, my men had been tailing her. They saw her dragged into a white Bentley, and she stayed in that car for quite a while."Alyssa felt her heart sank at that information. She was plagued by unease.Jasper demanded. "Where did she go in that car?""She didn't go anywhere. After a while, they sent her back to her rental. She did not step out of the house for three days after that—not even taking out the trash."By then, our men realized something was off. They broke into her place and found her missing. She didn't even pack her bags."Alyssa questioned, "How about her passport and identity card?""She didn't take them with her at all. She literally vanished into thin air!" Xavier grew emotional and worried. "I had people stationed at the airport to monitor her movements. She had no money and no identifica

Preston quivered in anger. His face turned white. "Dad, how could you say so? Preston is your son too! I don't know how he'll live out the rest of his life after what Landon did to him!"You didn't offer him words of comfort or even hold Landon responsible. Instead, you're pinning the blame on him. Do you want him dead?" Sylvia widened her eyes in disbelief and raged."How am I supposed to hold Landon responsible? He's the second largest stockholder of Harper Group and the company president. All the directors on the board pledged their loyalty to him. Laying a finger on him would mean hurting the company. "As the family patriarch, shouldn't I look at the big picture?"Preston clutched his bedsheet tightly. Anger festered in him. What Cornelius did wasn't "looking at the big picture", but sacrificing his second son.Cornelius knitted his brows and sank into a short silence. Then, he said resolutely, "Preston, I bought the flight tickets for you. Take a few days' rest before you emigra

Preston stared at her with a fake smile and a spiteful stare. "I'm now disabled thanks to your genius idea! It's pretty unfair that I'm struggling while you get away with it.""Uncle Preston, what else can you do now?" Zoe immediately distanced herself from the situation. "You were the one who released Lauren's mental health diagnosis on the board of directors' meeting. You arranged for Lauren to be put away. I wasn't part of it at all."No one would believe in empty accusations anyway. Do you have evidence to prove that I gave you the diagnosis? I'm afraid you can't drag me down with you.""Is that so?" Preston let out a loud cackle, which gave her the goosebumps. "Dear Zoe, do you really think that your actions were secret? Do you remember ganging up and bullying Lauren when you were in school?"Her heart felt like a jackhammer in her chest. Turning pale, she stammered, "W-What are you talking about? No one bullied her!""Well, I'm 30 years your senior. I'm more shrewd and exper
