“Eh. Corbyn, you are here.” Valencia paused arranging her things into her bag and straightened her back; her eyes flashed with bewilderment. She didn’t expect that Corbyn would also come to pick her up today… Talking of picking up, ever since Maverick and Tatiana left earlier, they didn’t return! The couples are truly dramatic and overreacting. Let’s say Tatiana was indeed pushed by Valencia. It’s just a simple push without any bruising or anything serious; is that worthy enough for her to go to the hospital? So dramatic! That’s why they are perfectly made for each other… “What’s wrong with your hand?” Corbyn suddenly grabbed Valencia’s hand and asked in concern, his voice very cold and his expression cold and solemn. Upon seeing Corbyn like this, a trail of shivers coursed down Valencia’s spine. She tried to wave her hand with a nonchalant smile and responded with a lie, “It’s nothing serious. The doctor dramatically wrapped…” Before Valencia could complete her
Valencia’s brows furrowed, completely stunned by how everything ensued. Corbyn came here to make Tatiana show up, didn’t he? Then why did the mention of that person make the whole ambiance change? And why did Corbyn mention that they should leave? Who is that person? The more Valencia thinks like this, the more curious she becomes. “Big brother Corbyn. Who? Who is that person? What’s going on?” Valencia asked Corbyn in curiosity as soon as they entered the car. Suddenly, Valencia’s heart skipped a beat. Is Maverick in danger? Did that person pose a threat to Maverick and Corbyn? or else why did they become solemn? The more Valencia thinks, the more worry that courses through her. Corbyn’s eyes flickered, but in the next second, his eyes regained their calm, giving one the illusion that it was just one thinking. His glazed eyes fell on the woman. “Valencia.” Upon seeing Corbyn’s meaningful expression, Valencia realized a thing. There’s a high likelihood that this matter
“Mom, what are you cooking?” Hudson's eyes widened curiously, and his cheeks bulged with every bite of the chocolate in his hands. He kept trying to tiptoe and stretch his neck to see what was cooking, but due to his small frame, he failed woefully. Upon seeing the chocolate in Hudson's hand, Valencia's expression changed and slowly turned stern. It’s early in the morning, yet her little baby is already eating chocolate. Not to mention that they snack-binged last night. Immediately, Valencia placed her hands on her waist and pointed at Hudson… “Mom. I already drank a bitter herbal drink. Mom, shouldn't worry about my teeth. Quadruplet is smart, and quadruplet won't make Mom worry at all.” Hudson confessed confidently, interjecting Valencia's words as if he already knew what Valencia planned to say. Upon hearing Hudson's words, Valencia smacked her lips together. She extended her hands and pulled his cheeks playfully. “Smart mouth.” He already gave answers to her questions bef
Aviva bit her lower lip and blinked her eyes anxiously. She grabbed Valencia by the hand and parted her lips, “Um…” “Um, nothing.” Valencia quickly interjected, raised her hands, and used them to cover Aviva’s lips before Aviva could let out her words. Valencia quickly pulled Aviva to the side, placed her hands on her hips, and gave Aviva a stern gaze. She whispered next to her ear. “It’s not known whether I’m carrying a baby or not. I haven’t felt anything since that time. Why are you so anxious? Being like this will rat us out? We can’t let anyone know yet.” She expressed sternly and seriously in a breath. Upon hearing Valencia’s stem word, Aviva blinked her eyes, and her back unconsciously straightened. She puckered her lips and stared at Valencia in grievance. "I understand, but I’m just worried about little...” Before Aviva could complete her words, Valencia facepalmed herself and stared at the sky as if she were done. Ever since Valencia retched in Aviva’s presence,
Roman suddenly raised the box of lunch in his hands, his lips pressed together in a thin line. His eyes fell on Valencia, and he spoke, “Even with that wounded hand, you made this box… Thanks.” Valencia made a face and puckered her lips in unhappiness. Who wanted to make this for him? If he didn’t threaten her, she wouldn't. “It’s not for you…” Roman calmly interrupted, his eyes not falling on Valencia even for once. “Yes, I know. It’s to buy back yourself, isn’t it?” He retorted. Valencia suddenly stopped and turned to Roman calmly. Sue emitted in a serious voice, “I can’t do this anymore. Mr. Roman should think of what you want as payback.” Valencia expressed, and without waiting for Roman to complete his words, she turned to leave. If she discovered that she was pregnant, she would have to stop this because her baby’s health would be her utmost priority. Not to mention that she is very wary of Roman, and she finds him very suspicious! He can even notice Corbyn and Valencia
“Valencia, I already got it. I already bought it.” Aviva grabbed Valencia's hand as soon as Valencia stepped out of the car and enthusiastically spoke in a hushed voice that couldn't be heard by anyone except for the both of them. Upon seeing the two women acting unusually again, Corbyn simply arched his brows and strode into the mansion while making a call. Upon hearing Tatiana's words, Valencia's calm façade broke, and her body unconsciously straightened; her body became tense. The result of the pregnancy test will spell her fate. Soon, she'll discover if she had gotten pregnant for Maverick or not. Valencia's hand fell on her stomach. What if Valencia already got pregnant? What will she do this time? Immediately, the recollection of Maverick accompanying Tatiana early in the morning flashed through her mind. Valencia's mood immediately became calm, and she hissed, her lips puckering to form a sulk. Yet she obediently followed Aviva into the room. Upon seeing Vale
The doctor bowed to Valencia and the Cirillo family as soon as he completed his report. The Cirillo family already expected the doctor's report because it was just like during the quadruplet's pregnancy. Valencia's health always turns frail whenever she's pregnant. Due to that, she will always have a meal and nutrition timetable curved for her; she'll have to lessen her work and take more rest, etc. and it was just as the doctor said after checking Valencia up “This means Valencia has to stop visiting that damn filming location.” Aviva immediately expressed as soon as the doctor left. Aviva parted her chest and smiled sweetly. “I really didn't want Valencia to hang around that...” damn Maverick… Before Aviva could complete her words, she immediately recalled the presence of the smartass quadruplet, which put a stop to her words. Aviva was afraid that if she wasn't careful, she might mistakenly let out some words to the quadruplet. And since the quadruplet are very smart. T
“Brother three.” Burke stroked his chin and stared at Maverick intently as if he wanted to know what was going through Maverick's mind. At the realization of what's about to happen, Burke can't help finding the feeling very exhilarating. He has been standing on tiptoes all this while, suddenly not standing on it. Feels really great. Burke stared at Maverick, a Cheshire grin on his face. “Quit drinking. There are several different fish in the ocean; when you lose a woman, you'll find…” Before Burke could complete his statement, a fierce and piercing glare from Maverick landed on Burke. However, Burke, who's in an extremely good mood, didn't hesitate to ignore it. Farell shook his head slightly before turning to Maverick, who was downing alcohol after alcohol. He eyed him before seriously asking, “Are you in love with Valencia…” Before he could complete his words, a dark glare landed on him. Farell immediately switched the question even though he already had a thought in hi
“Mom, do you like Daddy? Mom, did Daddy fight you because of that aunty? Is that the reason Mom was alone all these years…”As soon as the mom and her quadruplets entered the room, the smart and curious children were immediately unable to control their curiosity and began to pester Valencia with endless questions.Valencia patiently listened to the quadruplets' questions with a smile on her face, and when they fell silent, she let them place their heads on her lap and gently patted their backs.Valencia pretended to fall into thought before taking a glance at their cute faces. She mischievously expressed, “My little quadruplets, you are still babies and not adults. How do you want to understand adult issues?” she joked.Valencia sighed and poked their cheeks before continuing. “Anyway, Mom and Dad only have a misunderstanding. Babies shouldn’t fight with Daddy because of that, okay? Daddy is a good person,” she expressed gently and calmly.Immediately, the quadruplets pursed their lip
Cora and Gerz Vandenberg felt their breath hitch and several emotions surge through them.They had a grandchild? It wasn’t only a grandchild—it was even a quadruplet, which meant grandchildren!It turns out that Valencia and Corbyn were never a couple like everyone thought, and instead, Valencia had been loyal to their son. A woman like Valencia was very rare and special.Valencia calmly continued to play with the quadruplet, indifferent to their reactions. It was as if she didn’t notice the presence of the Vandenberg family a few steps away.“Valencia,” Maverick called out in a raspy voice and approached her.When Valencia asked if Maverick would let her go if she didn’t see any other man, including Corbyn, he should have noticed the sign.The woman had been so persistent and wouldn't let go regardless of how cold and indifferent he acted. What made him think that she'd simply go to another man?Maverick realized that he still didn't understand the woman no matter how much he thought
“Miss Valencia and the baby’s condition are fine. Miss Valencia has just undergone a psychological shock and is currently experiencing restlessness, tension, anxiety, and fear due to her phobia.Right now, the most important thing is to stabilize Miss Valencia’s emotional and physical state—for her health and the baby’s. I’d recommend complete rest, no stressful stimuli, and constant emotional support.If the panic or fear continues, we might consider involving a trauma therapist or prescribing...” the doctor professionally reported after diagnosing Valencia’s health.After the doctor was done and given permission, he packed up his things and left the Cirillo mansion.Orson put down his tablet, hurried toward Valencia, and leaned against her, albeit very carefully, as if not to add more to what she was going through. He blinked his eyes and asked, “Is Mom feeling unwell?”Valencia feigned a carefree smile. She gently picked Orson up and let him sit on her lap. She shook her head and c
“Maverick.” Farrell's eyes turned sharp, and he reproached upon seeing Maverick blatantly sit up from the bed as if to get out of it.Maverick had just been shot twice, for heaven's sake. It’s only heaven that knows how he didn’t black out after receiving two shots to his chest.Right now, all Maverick was supposed to do was cooperate and receive treatment, but NO. Maverick was very impatient to leave the ward and hospital altogether!Maverick had been forced and locked down before he could be taken to the hospital and before the doctor removed the bullet.Now that he was supposed to receive full treatment, Maverick stood up from the bed to leave—everything all on his own. It was as if he couldn’t even feel the pain of the gunshot. Did Maverick think he had a thousand lives? How could he be so careless and reckless?Maverick indifferently picked up his suit, indifferent to Farrell’s disapproval.Maverick’s hand pressed on his chest to apply pressure to the wound, the pain also alertin
A few decades ago, in a gambling center, Butler Leo met a competitor.This competitor was a wealthy man who didn’t know how to gamble, and as a result, he lost a lot of money to Butler Leo. However, the most interesting thing was that this person wasn’t annoyed at all and instead chose to be Butler Leo’s friend.Soon, they became such close friends that Butler Leo started helping him deliver some work—and soon he had already joined the illegal organization.The organization paid him a huge sum and gave him a spy mission: to take over the Vandenberg family and make everything belong to him.At that time, Blauch Vandenberg had just married his beautiful wife. The couple had been in love and wanted to have their baby. Unfortunately, one year, two, three, four, and five years passed—they couldn’t get a child regardless of how much they went to the hospital.While both of them thought that this was just an ordinary thing, or they hadn’t tried their best, what they didn’t know was that Butl
Immediately the gunshot rang, blood spurted from Butler Leo and the guard who had just handed the gun to Maverick.Maverick had just shot both of them!Upon seeing them collapse on the floor, Zan's expression changed, and he sprang up.Zan pointed at Maverick and growled, his voice filled with rage, “Maverick, what do you think you are doing?”Zan was in control. How dare Maverick go against his wish? Did Maverick think Zan couldn’t end him with a move? How dare he?For the first time, Zan's eyes showed a slight trace of anxiousness. “Call the doctor to treat Butler Leo,” he declared and immediately directed a piercing glare at Maverick.When the Vandenberg family had dumped him, the only one to support and boost his morale was Butler Leo. He'd never forgive himself if Butler Leo was in danger because of him.Maverick’s lips slowly curved up, and a faint smile appeared on his face. The solemnness on his face had already disappeared. He retorted calmly with one word, “Guess!”Before Za
Immediately, Tatiana was lowered so much that with just a little stretch, her feet would sink into the acid completely.Tatiana's face was as pale as a sheet, and she tried to fold her legs. Tears were now streaming past her eyes rapidly, and her whole elegant and innocent image was tossed into the wind. She kept screaming for Maverick to save her.Zan indifferently leaned against the chair and propped his chin. “Let me tell you a story. One day, a sick boy met a sick girl in the hospital, and since then, they have become close friends. So close that they even rolled the sheets. That boy was me, and that girl was your lovely and innocent Tatiana,” he revealed, a wicked and tyrant-like smile on his face.Upon hearing this, the crowd's quietness immediately broke, and they mumbled to each other, their eyes now filled with disdain as they fell on Tatiana.Upon hearing Zan's words, Tatiana's heart skipped a beat, and it began to thump against her chest.Zan folded his hands behind his hea
"Young Master Maverick, Grandfather Blauch Vandenberg, dear aunt and uncle, it’s been a long time; have you missed me?" The dark chuckle of the person with an altered voice suddenly reverberated in the mansion.Seeing the stunned reaction on their faces, a faint disparaging chuckle filled with anger spilt past his lips."It’s Zan," the person from the other end declared, the alteration in his voice already eliminated, revealing a familiar voice. Interesting.They already made themselves all about the Vandenberg family and didn’t care about the one they killed.Upon hearing this, the crowd's petrified expression changed to one filled with disbelief.Zan? Young Master Zan Vandenberg is alive?A hushed mumble filled with shock began to pervade the hall.Zan Vandenberg? Who is Zan Vandenberg?Although most of the new generation did not recognize this name, it wasn’t the same for the old generation.There was a history whose mention was forbidden in the Vandenberg family, and as a result,
‘Ahhhh, help me. Save me. Maverick, please save me. I don’t want to die…’The sudden cry of Tatiana and the video of a pale Tatiana and Valencia hanging above a dangerous pit suddenly took over the screen.Valencia. Maverick’s expression changed, and his hands balled into fists.Even though Maverick wanted to pronounce that name so badly, he didn't.“Valencia," Aneira and Aviva cried out and sprang up in shock, their hands flying to their mouths.Corbyn and the Cirillos’ expressions turned cold, and they immediately swept a cold glare filled with killing intent at Maverick and the Vandenberg family.It was clear that they were saying that if anything dared to happen to Valencia because of the Vandenberg family, then they would never let go of the Vandenberg family in this lifetime.The two families would be nothing but enemies from then on, and they'd do everything to see that the Vandenberg family was destroyed.The sudden ringing of Maverick's phone broke the tense atmosphere in the
