As his short black hair fluttered in the air, it only made him look even more noble and striking, as if he had descended with the moonlight itself.Despite suffering from years of illness, aside from his cold, pale complexion, there was no sign of weakness in the way he landed so effortlessly.Especially since he landed on one knee, his gloved hand steady.The gold-rimmed glasses on his nose made him look less like an ordinary man and more like the youngest godfather of the medieval era.As soon as he touched the ground—Figures emerged from the mist, one after another.Not just ordinary vehicles, but heavily modified off-road vehicles, each marked with a striking red insignia.Seven or eight of them, engines roaring like thunder.“Mayor Morton! What the hell is going on!?”Panic set in.The villagers had never seen anything like this before.Even Frank hadn’t.This level of mobilization—it only happened in cross-border operations on TV!Mayor Morton’s eye twitched, unease creeping in
Mayor Morton had completely collapsed.The other side knew too much—so much that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t clear his name.The elderly villagers had no idea who this young man was.They didn’t even dare to guess.But as they stared at the small military aircrafts and the off-road vehicles parked not far away, their hands trembled.To be able to mobilize such forces—Just what level of power was this?!And this kind of person… was that girl’s boyfriend?!The Morton family had even tried to abduct her?!The villagers were terrified.And the Morton family—they were regretting everything.Especially Jessica.Her mind was buzzing, unable to process what she had just witnessed—her own brother being taken away.She had thought that girl was just some naïve, small-town student, easy to manipulate.A little money, a little coaxing, some force if necessary—and she’d break her in.That’s what Grace had told her too—Said the girl was nothing like Mia.That Mia was now a wealthy yo
Hearing this, Amelia paused, her fingers lightly twirling the purple jade pendant.At the same time, Edgar turned to look at her, his mouth slightly open.If that was the case… then his second sister…Amelia didn’t need to guess what her elder brother was thinking.She frowned slightly and said, “I was switched at birth, not trafficked.”According to that couple, that was the truth.But their words were obviously unreliable.Amelia didn’t bother explaining further.She had no feelings toward the girl the Cromwell family had been raising.Her brother had once said it was because the girl looked too much like Miss Amelia.Cromwell when she was younger.So, the Cromwell family showered her with love.To Amelia, this felt like nothing more than a substitute story.Not being able to find a lost child was understandable.Back then, the internet wasn’t widespread, facial recognition technology was nonexistent, DNA sampling wasn’t common, and even the household registration system was lax, esp
Amelia’s memory was astonishingly sharp. It was as if she still had the layout of Yellow Mountain Village mapped out in her mind.“That family was heavily poisoned by me. They shouldn’t be in the village anymore—they’re probably heading somewhere for treatment. I suggest splitting into two teams and checking the county hospital.”Carl listened quietly, never interrupting.Amelia looked at him seriously. “Bring that couple to me. I have questions for them.”Carl rolled his prayer beads between his fingers, wasting no words. “Alright.”This was exactly why Amelia liked dealing with him.He was always calm and easy to be around.Never asking unnecessary questions—just helping her.Edgar wanted to say something but didn’t know where to start.Was his second sister really switched at birth?He still remembered the first time he met her.Back then, he truly believed she was Miss Amelia Cromwell.If she hadn’t denied it herself…And if that couple hadn’t provided some extra clues…Edgar migh
Amelia was also thinking about her own origins.She couldn’t remember anything.She had little memory to begin with.Trying to recall her childhood only left her with a blank slate.But things couldn’t be that dramatic, could they?Could she really be the seventh miss of the Cromwell family?Heh.Probably not. She didn’t look like the adopted daughter of the Cromwell family.Either way, she would wait for Grace to explain everything properly…In the distance, Carl watched the scene unfold, his gaze deepening.It might not be an appropriate comparison, but he couldn’t help but think—if he had been the one she rescued from that cellar, how different would things be?If they had escaped that desolate village together, their bond would surely be different.Perhaps even she hadn’t realized it herself—there was something indescribable in her feelings toward Benjamin.Carl stood against the wind, his Adam’s apple shifting slightly, the coldness around him growing heavier.James dared not ste
The county hospital doctor made it clear—they couldn’t cure this poison.Mr. Cromwell wailed beside them, crying and shouting, “You people just look down on us villagers! You refuse to treat us!”His shameless display, with his head still wrapped in gauze, showed he had no intention of reasoning.Many villagers had come along, all standing on his side.With the way things were escalating, the doctors were genuinely afraid someone might get hurt.“I don’t care! You must detoxify my eldest grandson!”Mr. Cromwell’s eyes were bloodshot as he lunged to grab a young nurse!The nurse’s face turned pale with fear.Luckily, at that moment, several plainclothes officers entered through the main doors and immediately tackled him to the ground!Mr. Cromwell continued to struggle, shouting, “What are you doing? Let me go!”The surrounding villagers saw this and rushed forward to help.That’s when Frank finally stepped in.“I’d like to see who dares to move!”“Mr. Anderson?!”Mr. Cromwell’s arroga
When questioning the couple, Edgar did not enter the room.Grace already knew him.If he were present, she might become even more defiant and never tell the truth.Indeed, Grace was cunning. When Benjamin mentioned the word “trafficking,” she quickly shifted her stance.“We were just middlemen,” she said, eyes darting. “Some people want children, some have too many and want to sell. We just made the connections, never stole anyone’s child.”Benjamin’s eyes turned ice-cold.“So your son’s life isn’t worth much either, then?”With that, he glanced to the side.“Mr. Anderson, it seems you’re not very useful either.”Frank broke into a cold sweat.He yanked Nathan by the arm.“The Morton family is finished! And your wife is still refusing to tell the truth? Do you want your entire family to be locked up for life?!”Nathan trembled violently.With a loud slap, he struck Grace across the face.“Tell the truth!”He couldn’t believe he had married such a foolish woman—still playing games at a
He suppressed the excitement surging in his heart.Cross-referencing their lies with their true motives, and observing their deliberate concealment now—An answer emerged.One that seemed impossible yet made perfect sense!He suddenly pushed open the door and spoke the guess weighing on his heart:“You didn’t accidentally switch babies with the Milton family. You deliberately exchanged the trafficked child because you didn’t like her! You never had a daughter at all!”Grace’s face changed drastically the moment she saw him.Wasn’t this the family of that cursed girl?!They knew each other?!Edgar didn’t waste time beating around the bush.“You deliberately misled me, making me question the Milton family. But how could the Milton family possibly know that you never gave birth? They would only assume my second sister was the daughter of some rural couple who stole their daughter’s life. They would never tell me the truth, which meant—no matter what—I would get the wrong answer!”“The se
But what she hated even more was herself, as she had no ability to know who the other person was!Amelia's eyes were pale: "No rush, easy to find.""Solving a case sometimes relied on modern tools."Amelia said, raising her hand to check the time, "It's eight ten. Once we have checked the guests who arrived around this time, we will be able to identify the culprit.""How do I check?" The twins, although mature, are still children after all.Amelia laughed and said, "Infiltrating the surveillance system was easy."However, her handsome fiancé had to return Elijah to her first.With this thought in mind, Amelia had just planned to take a stroll and walk past.Zane said, "Carl, you misunderstood. Abby is someone I grew up with. She just really likes you, but she has never been clingy. What you said in front of so many people was too much."Zane claimed to be Carl's father-in-law, and he had already built the steps. No matter what, the other party had to give him face and let the matter p
They couldn't help it and even tore apart the green tea with their hands!Looking back now, the Cromwell family saw the child that had been brought back, just holding pastries and looking at the scene with thin lips slightly curved.It was really too heavy to hold my breath!She was truly Ruby's daughter!Some people were also puzzled, like Trista. She didn't understand why, even though she knew these truths, she still wanted to speak up for Abby in that moment.She pinched her own hand to suppress the strange feeling.Even Sebastian was somewhat affected, if it weren't for Carl speaking up, he would have almost been entangled by Abby.This has also been puzzling to him, as he clearly knew that he disliked Abby, but whenever he encountered her, he would feel sorry for her, as if she had some serious illness.Sebastian furrowed his brow and planned to turn around and have a good talk with Amelia about this matter.What he didn't know was that someone had already informed Amelia about t
Since Carl had made a move, there was no way he would give her any room to maneuver.Tea or not tea, he didn't care, and it had nothing to do with him.But when it came to someone, he definitely carried the teapot and tea together.Someone just said that the most important thing for a woman is propriety, righteousness, integrity, and honor.Carl glanced, and his gaze fell on an inconspicuous wealthy lady in the crowd. "I want to ask Mr. Savigny, why is it that these two individuals openly express their admiration for me without any hesitation? Don't you think there's a problem with that? On the other hand, the person who is engaged to me, why do you criticize and condemn her for the same thing?""And yet, you felt nothing when it came to these two individuals?"Norma Savigny opened her mouth and said, "That's different, Abby has been... for so many years.""It is indeed different," Carl interrupted her softly. "Amelia is my fiancée, as for these two... I have privately rejected them m
Amanda has been influenced by the scent of medicine for a long time, and now she has become a bit delusional. However, she is completely unaware of it and continues to act recklessly.Paula wanted to pull her, "Amanda, are you crazy!"Her daughter could not have been so stupid normally!Didn't you see Carl's actions? He specifically came here to support Amelia!Amanda, on the other hand, seemed to have lost her sanity: "Mom, listen to me, he couldn't possibly fall for a village girl, what did he even talk about with that village girl? He's such a sophisticated person!"Paula wished she could have slapped Amanda again.Amanda's strength was surprisingly strong, and no matter how hard she tried to stop her, she couldn't.Amanda saw others looking at her like she was crazy, and her heart grew cold. She immediately went to Abby and grabbed her hand, saying, "Abby, you know best. We have been watching him all these years. He has rejected you countless times, even. It's impossible for him t
The New York boss, the New York prince, were never fake.Thinking about what he used to do when his body wasn't so bad, he would just uproot the entire Jenkins family if they made him unhappy.They all saw what he was like when dealing with people. Who would dare to cross the line? Isn't that asking for trouble?The chilling momentum made some other bosses quickly say, "Mr. Jenkins, your fiancée, what kind of circles is she involved in? She herself is a circle!"Carl nodded towards the person speaking and said, "Mr. Carter was right. I also wished that my fiancée would not be bothered or manipulated by anyone in the future.""So, I also arrived a little late."Amanda listened to the words in her ears and shook her head continuously, saying, "No, I don't believe it! How could you possibly like her!""She was beautiful and kind, with a pure and simple heart. Why wouldn't I be able to like her?" Carl's eyes were pale.Are people beautiful and kind-hearted?Simple-minded?The crowd looked
The shareholders did indeed start to hesitate, and the business partners were also discussing.Ruby protected Amelia and said confidently, "Amelia is not the kind of person who would do these things, there is a misunderstanding here.""Aunt Ruby, how do you explain Scarface's words then? This video was really filmed!" Amanda shouted, unchanging in her stubbornness.Paula, who originally wanted to pull her along, did not stop her at this moment.Ruby's daughter embarrassing herself was the most enjoyable thing for her.All the pressure came to the Cromwell family at once."Scarface, it was indeed difficult to explain."Most likely, this is the rumor spread by Amelia from the Cromwell family, probably out of fear that Mr. Jenkins would want to break off the engagement again."The Jenkins family must have looked down on someone from a small place, otherwise there wouldn't have been no one coming.""Who said it wasn't, and Scarface has been around for so many years. Only listen to Sir Cro
People did not know who the person in the picture was.The video only captured the marble floor on the ground.The photographer intentionally took it this way.At that moment, everyone's gaze focused on the screen."Mr. Jenkins, who had previously rejected the Cromwell family's proposal, would never actively pursue her.""How did you know it was her spreading the rumors?"The voices of the two girls were clearly processed, making it impossible to tell who they were."I caught the person spreading rumors."One of the girls aimed her phone at the screen.Wearing a long coat and carrying a birdcage, Scarface was talking to someone, saying, "You guys have only seen one side of the Cromwell family's matter, Mr. Jenkins was the one chasing after people.""You see, the way he talks, it's as if he has seen it with his own eyes." The voice in the scene says, "Who doesn't know that he is one of Hamza's people, it is clear who spread this rumor."I was also drunk. Only shameless people would spr
Amelia naturally associated him with Zane, especially since Zane trusted him so much.The Wraith Infant and her sisters all told her that she was not...Amelia got lost in her thoughts.The only voice found in the dream banquet was Paula's.Another question, until now, she has not found the answer.Wasn't it big enough?Amelia pressed her fingertips against the evil-warding coin and calmly looked around in all directions.Zane was still struggling, and Abby stood beside him, looking pitiful, calling out, "Dad, don't be like this.""What problems does she have? Can you tell?" Amelia casually raised her hand and took a glass of wine.The vengeful spirits jumped twice on her shoulder and said, "I didn't see anything else, it's just that people listened to her too much, Master. I know there is a kind of dark magic underground that can influence people's thoughts.""Dark magic?" Amelia said absentmindedly, "Are you referring to what is recorded in the Indian scriptures?"The vengeful spiri
So Zane hated, and of course he could not chase the past again, he also had his dignity!Abby became anxious and said, "Dad, you should go and say something nice to Mom. Mom won't really divorce you.""She wanted to leave, so she left!" Zane tugged at his tie, veins popping on his forehead, and sweat pouring down.Abby couldn't believe that her usually astute father couldn't see through the current situation.The divorce became a settled matter in such a situation.What did she do after today?The information that Ruby had come too late.Otherwise, she wouldn't have made up her mind to divorce Zane today.The smartest thing about this approach was that it put an end to Abby relying on Zane and herself, and constantly seeking the support of the Cromwell family and the Molson family!Even Sebastian was wondering, "Mom, how did you suddenly have a change of heart?"He and his brothers all thought that the divorce, no matter how it was said, would take some time, until their mother really
