After William's departure, Michelle became even more uncontrollable, the woman scolded Shofia for not always reminding Laura of her position.

"She's just my replacement, why is she so brave to play wife! Don't you remind Laura, Mum? William, that man won't let Laura go, even though I've given proof that the child can't be William's biological child."

"Patience, darling... Laura, I'm sure there's no place for her to be Mrs Anderson, it's all yours, I'll find a way," said Shofia to win Michelle over.

"Ways? The only way is to get rid of him!" growled Michelle.

Meanwhile, Laura had already decided to get away from the city, with Mark's help.

"What's wrong with you, Laura? Can I know your problem, maybe I can help you? I'm really confused, because right now you're alone, even your mum, sorry it's like she doesn't care about you? I know from a long time ago, your mum wasn't very nice to you, is that your family problem? So you decided to leave this city?" Mark asked successively.

    “You! You are a heartless, ungrateful child for putting us in prison!” Beckett hissed, annoyed by Laura's words. “We raised you, even allowing you to marry William — Michelle's lover — but you made him yours! And now you want to put me in prison?’Laura snorted angrily at her biological father's words. She could no longer contain her frustration; it was as if she were always to blame for everything.'Raised? I grew up with the Browns, not because of you, but because of the nurse who has looked after me since I was a child. Unfortunately, you fired her when I was in middle school, so I had to live on my own after that. I never felt your love, and neither did the woman who is your wife now — the one I once considered my mother. But it turns out…? I’m happy with the facts as they are. All this time, you've only cared about Michelle, and Michelle alone. I'm just another person in this house. So don't pretend you're a good father to me! You raised me as a parent!” Laura retorted.Beckett a

    "That's true, but there's also another will that you know about. If you cause Laura to suffer or even die before the specified age, all assets will be given to a charitable foundation. And what you are doing now is already causing Laura to suffer, because of your daughter Michelle's selfishness. Now, consider handing everything over to Laura, or we will make the public aware of what you have done to Laura. You yourselves started exposing family issues in the media, so we will end this through the media as well. However, if you choose to surrender and grant Laura full rights, we will not publish this in the media. You know yourselves how it will end, with every decision you make," explained Marko.Beckett couldn’t accept everything Marko had said. How could he possibly hand everything over to Laura, since he’d have nothing left afterward? The wealth they’d accumulated would vanish. However, Beckett remained calm in the face of Marko, Laura, and William. It seemed he already had a plan

    Currently, William and Laura are at the Brown family residence, followed by Marko walking behind them, having just arrived by car. From inside the house, Shofia is surprised to learn that Laura and William have arrived, along with Marko, whom they have been searching for. Beckett, who has also just received news of his son and daughter-in-law's arrival, immediately descends from the upper floor, from his office with Nolan.Laura smiled at their surprise, confidently looking at her father, who was still glaring at her disapprovingly.“Father… don’t you miss me? Your expression is really hurting me,” Laura said, then walked into the living room without permission, sitting on the sofa there. William and Marko followed her.“Mr. Marko? Why didn’t you come to see me?” Beckett asked, more interested in Marko’s presence.“So you could bribe me?” Marko exclaimed, causing Beckett to fall silent. “From the start, I’ve never shared your goals, because I’ve always been on Vivian’s side,” Marko co

    ‘Mother is doing better now; she just needs to recover. How about you, the company?’ asked William. Laura was already by his side, returning to the Anderson residence."Thank goodness, I'm glad to hear that Mother is doing well. The company, just as I suspected, Kendrick would rather have my father in that position. Will, honestly, I don’t mind if someone else leads the Ashdorf company, but Grandfather asked me to do it. I always thought this issue would never be resolved, especially since the two companies he wanted were actually mine?”“Your father is reaping what he sowed. Whatever you experienced while with them, they will feel the same. So don’t feel guilty or sinful about what you’re currently fighting for. Mr. Dominic has placed great hope in you, and so has Mrs. Vivian, because I’m sure they feel guilty for letting you stay with someone who doesn’t love you, who only uses you,” said William, trying to make Laura stronger to face all the problems she’s currently facing and will

    Kendrick left Laura’s room, his irritation at her words plain to see. More than that, what he had hoped for—that Laura would fall into depression or feel crushed by everything that had been done to her—had not happened as he had expected. The man was frustrated and angry, yet he had to control himself and be patient, for if he didn’t, everything he had done would completely fail, and he would be unable to help Mr Beckett secure the highest position in the Ashdorf Legacy.Meanwhile, Laura let out a deep sigh, leaning back as she considered what steps she should take next. Facing those who disliked her, she wasn’t certain she would be able to manage it.“Mr Marko?” Laura murmured, remembering him. To this day, he had yet to take action to reclaim what was rightfully hers. She thought that perhaps both matters could be dealt with at once, since her opponent in both cases was the same—her own father.“What is Mr Marko waiting for?” Laura said afterwards. Now, she was simply waiting for Mr
