After William’s confidant spoke to the media—firmly denying Michelle’s claims—news about Michelle and William vanished almost instantly from social media. Out of fear of William Anderson’s legal team, companies quickly took down every story, terrified their platforms would be destroyed.

Now, the only stories left were about Michelle’s lies. William allowed them to remain, because they reflected the truth.

“Michelle Brown, a beautiful and famous model, was once William Anderson’s lover. The model still hoped to rekindle their relationship, which drove her to speak openly to the media. Michelle even went so far as to upload their memories together, hoping to win William back.

But William refused to give the model even the slightest chance. What could be the reason behind his rejection? And why did their relationship fall apart?”

Headlines like this circulated widely. Even though the official news of Michelle and William’s relationship had been taken down, speculation filled the air.

    “Your plans will never succeed! Don’t you realize you’re all alone? No one supports you—everyone around you only wants your money!” Cassandra snapped, furious at Michelle.“I am alone. That’s precisely why I’ll make Laura feel what I’ve felt. If not… then Laura will die with me—along with you? Maybe that’s a good idea,” Michelle replied, a cruel grin on her face.“You’re evil, Michelle!” Cassandra hissed. William’s sister prayed her brother would come to their rescue.“Evil? Am I not the evil one? Is that what you’ve always thought—that I’m the villain you all hate? You never wanted me with William! But when it comes to Laura, you accepted her. Even after everything you’ve been through, Mrs. Anderson, you still support her!” Michelle spat.The beautiful woman glared at the mother and daughter in front of her, making it clear she truly despised them both. “I only did what you expected: you hated me, and I hate you both even more!”Michelle left Elara and Cassandra in the dark room, whe

    “Cassandra… sweetheart, are you alright?” Elara’s voice trembled the moment she arrived at the place where Cassandra was being held captive.A mother seeing her daughter weak and helpless, with bruises marking her face, brought Elara to tears. But Cassandra, though still shaken at first to see her mother standing before her with bound hands, managed to smile.“I’m fine, but why did you come here, Mother?” Cassandra asked as tears streamed down her cheeks.“I was worried. I couldn’t stay calm just sitting at home,” Elara replied.Michelle, watching the emotional reunion, grew irritated. To her, the scene was sickening. “Enough. I’ve had enough of this pathetic display. But aren’t you happy? You finally get to be together again.”“Michelle, let my mother go! Isn’t it enough that you have me? Don’t involve her!” Cassandra shouted angrily at Michelle, furious that her mother had been dragged into this trap meant for Laura.“What is it that you truly want, Michelle? Your parents have alrea

    “Do you know what you’ve done to my sister?” William demanded as he confronted Serena.Serena acted indifferent, as if she felt no guilt for facilitating Cassandra’s meeting with Michelle.“What did I do wrong? I didn’t do anything — Cassandra asked to meet Michelle herself!” Serena snapped at William. She clearly did not want to be involved.But her hopes were in vain. Her wrongdoing was serious: by hiding Michelle’s whereabouts she had broken the law and aided a fugitive.“Not wrong? You think hiding Michelle’s location isn’t wrong? You handed my sister over to a fugitive! Serena, if you don’t reveal where Michelle is, I will report you — you won’t get off lightly!” William warned.Hearing this, Serena could do nothing. William was right: at first she hadn’t known that her actions to provoke Cassandra to hate Laura would be directly connected to Michelle. When she discovered Michelle’s involvement, Serena begged to stay out of it—she didn’t want legal trouble. Michelle had offered h

    Meanwhile, Serena thought she was safe, that she had escaped all the trouble—especially Michelle and, of course, the Anderson family. But she was wrong. At the airport, Serena was intercepted by several men sent by William and was immediately taken into custody.Serena looked terrified and tried to run, but she couldn’t.“Miss, please come with us, or we’ll embarrass you right here,” one of William’s men said, giving Serena a chance to cooperate so it wouldn’t look like she was being arrested in a sudden public chase.“Why are you taking me?” Serena asked, trying to resist. Of course she didn’t want to be drawn deeper into Michelle’s affairs.“You know the answer—about Miss Cassandra!” the man replied.Serena’s heart pounded with fear. Could Michelle have done something unforgivable? Serena was furious that Michelle hadn’t protected her. She didn’t want to be arrested.Still, she could not fight them. Serena had no choice but to go with them, hoping she would not be implicated legally

    "How did you get into the car?” Elara was shocked to find a man and a woman inside her vehicle.“Are you surprised, Madam? The security at the Anderson residence may be strict, but we’re no strangers to the dark world. Sneaking in was quite easy for us,” said the man, who had been brought in by Ivana to assist in Michelle’s wicked plan.“Keep driving. I’ll tell you where you need to go,” Ivana said with a smile.With trembling hands and fear in her chest, Elara tried to stay focused on driving. William’s biological mother regretted her decision to leave the house alone without protection, especially after William had insisted she stay home.“You… are you Michelle’s friends?” Elara asked again, trying to confirm whether they truly were Michelle’s people.“Do you have any other doubts?” Ivana retorted, making Elara fall silent for a moment—indeed, it was clear they were Michelle’s accomplices.“What have you done to Cassandra?” Elara asked again. Though frightened, her greater fear was

    Laura was shocked; her emotions were in turmoil — afraid, sad, and guilty because once again she had to risk the lives of those around her, the people who loved her, and those loved by William Anderson’s wife.It all began because Laura wanted to hold on to her marriage with William. Laura believed marriage is for a lifetime; if it could be preserved, she must endure and strive to win William’s love.But that conviction and life principle became the root of many problems, because of Michelle’s unwillingness.
