LOGINThe Ford family's old mansion was ablaze with light, its courtyard overflowing with joyful chatter and laughter.Under a sprawling vine trellis, Sebastian, Regan, and a few other young people chatted casually, while Nicole bustled, warmly entertaining Alison and her husband, along with the other esteemed guests."It's almost time to eat, isn't it?" Caroline glanced at her watch, a slight frown on her face. "How come Sheila and Brother Killian still aren't back?"No sooner had the words left her lips than Killian arrived, Ben trailing just behind him.A wave of greetings rose as everyone converged. Regan, ever the joker, laughed. "You're just getting home? We were starting to think this whole birthday banquet was just wishful thinking on our part, and you and your wife had secretly eloped for some private time!"Killian offered a faint smile, his gaze, however, involuntarily sweeping deeper into the mansion.Caroline craned her neck, peering
"Kane, are you going to talk about how Killian stole my father's corneas again?" Sheila snapped, her voice laced with fury. "Get lost!!"After hanging up, Kane sent another message. Sheila initially intended to ignore it, but as her car stopped at the next traffic light, she couldn't resist tapping it open.Kane: "Stop running. Don't you really want to know the truth about this?"Below it was the address of a club he'd sent.Half an hour later, Sheila pushed open the private room door. Only Kane was inside.Sheila sat down. He wasted no words, placing several documents one by one in front of her.The first document detailed the entire process of Antony's kidnapping, provided by a man named Otis Fox, who was a key participant in the abduction.Seeing Sheila's apprehension, Kane made a call, and Otis was led in. The man's face was covered in stubble, bruised and swollen, and his body was riddled with injuries, clearly showing signs of c
After the hospital room door gently clicked shut, as Henry tidied the fruit basket, he unexpectedly found that Sheila had placed the check he'd given her yesterday, untouched, beneath the fruit.Marshall noticed the change in his grandson's expression and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"Henry gave a helpless chuckle, "She returned the check."A flicker of admiration crossed the old man's eyes. "That girl is truly something else." He then shot his grandson a meaningful glance, "I just wonder if she's married."Henry looked embarrassed. "Grandpa, don't play matchmaker.""Heh," Marshall scoffed. "I know what you're thinking when your tail starts wagging. You're not getting any younger, and your sister is already married. Hurry up!""Here, have some sweet soup, Grandpa!" Henry handed him the lotus seed paste, expertly changing the subject. "Oh, by the way, my sister gave birth the night before last. It's a boy.""Gave birth?" Marshall
In the hospital room.Gloria approached the bed from behind, holding the baby. "Jocelyn, look at the baby."Jocelyn looked at the newborn, still a bit wrinkled, her eyes strikingly similar to Kane's.But remembering what had happened before delivery, her heart felt instantly ripped apart.This was the little life she had carried for ten months, a life she had almost sacrificed her own to bring into the world.Yet, it was the child of Kane, that demon.Jocelyn’s fingertips, as they grazed the baby's cheek, trembled involuntarily, and tears streamed down her face.Gloria comforted her, "Oh, why are you crying?"Hogan added, "You shouldn't cry during your confinement month."Both assumed she was crying tears of joy, moved by the sight of her child.Only Kane understood the resentment contained within her tears. He immediately stepped forward and clasped her hand. "You've worked hard, wife."A shiver of r
Lying in the operating room, Jocelyn stared at the white light above, feeling hazy. As the clinking of instruments faded, her consciousness began to drift.The metallic clatter transformed into the clang of shackles, the sterile white operating table morphing into a mold-ridden mattress in a dark cabin. Eighteen-year-old her was curled up in the bottom hold of a freighter.Suddenly, grotesque, unfamiliar faces appeared before her eyes. Instinctive fear seized her, and she screamed unconsciously, "Let me go... Let me go... I want to go home!""Dad, Mom, help me..."But those people clung to her like devils, giving her no chance to survive.The surging sea rushed in, engulfing her in waves. The icy water made her whole body tremble. She looked up, but it was pitch black, not a glimmer of hope visible.Suddenly, the seawater receded. A pair of warm hands dragged her ashore.Those hands then offered a steaming bowl of seafood porridge, sp
“Mrs. Maxwell.”Victoria’s face was ashen as she looked at Jocelyn.Jocelyn’s face, pale as paper, held an even greater shock.Her gaze fell upon Victoria, clad only in a silk camisole, her fair skin covered in the lingering marks of passion. Behind her, on the floor, lay a torn black stocking, a piece of erotic lingerie, glowing bunny ears…When she finally understood what had truly happened, Jocelyn’s heart was seized by an intense, violent pain. The world immediately spun around her, and she felt too weak to even stand upright.She gripped the doorframe, biting her lip, wanting to cry but unable to make a sound.The next second, Victoria looked at Jocelyn’s feet, her face draining of color. “Maxwell Madam, you’re bleeding.”“Are you… going into labor?”“Help! Oh my god, what do we do?”Victoria rushed to help Jocelyn inside, then dialed Kane’s number. “Kane, Maxwell Madam is bleeding, she… she’s at the villa…”
The sky had gone dark. Ben and Sheila, along with a few others, had scoured the entire venue and all the surrounding surveillance footage, but they still hadn’t found a trace of the keycard.According to the surveillance footage, Sheila handed the keycard to Justin and then never left his side.He
Kelsey and Peter simultaneously looked at Kane, whose face was darker than dark, trying their best not to laugh.Peter teased, "Told you not to pretend to be poor when you're not. If you'd just taken a fancy to Sheila, you could've just kept her."Kane glared at him. "What do you know? If I'd told
The girl saw Sheila in the back seat and was equally stunned."This is …" Ben glanced at Killian, "Killian's secretary, Sheila."Marina's gaze swept over the shopping bag Sheila was holding behind her, a slight awkward smile on her face."Hello, I'm Marina Stone, classmates with Ben and Killian fro
Having taken over the new project, Sheila and Mandy worked overtime at the company until after 10 PM.After doing a final check, both of them were so tired they stretched and yawned.Mandy looked at her and asked, "Want to grab a midnight snack?"Sheila: "Aren't you on a diet and avoiding late-nigh
