LOGIN"Stop!"The furious shout cracked through the room like a bolt of thunder, freezing everyone where they stood.Even Hazel instinctively turned around with the rest of the crowd.The man himself had not appeared yet, but his voice had already reached them.Anya finally let out a long breath. He had made it in time.From her point of view, she absolutely did not want Hazel to have a baby with Evan—because he did not deserve that.Cain had already spoken. Would Evan even dare refuse now?If the outcome was already certain, then paying such a huge price for it simply wasn't worth it.But Stefan and Cynthia had invited members of both the Golden family and the Leighton family. It would have been inappropriate for them to step in directly, so they had no choice but to let Zeke stop everything.Anya had thought he wouldn't make it, yet somehow, he arrived at the very last moment.With a loud bang, the banquet hall doors were shoved open.A figure stormed in, burning with fury."Ze
Yet Hazel was preparing to have a baby with another man.Zeke snapped.Rage nearly swallowed him whole.Although he believed Hazel was only doing this to gain better control over Evan so she could continue using him as a source of blood, the price was far too high.Zeke didn't even bother grabbing the medicine anymore. He stormed out in fury, jumped into his car, and sped off."Evan, I'm not dead yet," he muttered through clenched teeth. "You think you can climb your way up and have a child with Hazel? Did you even ask for my permission?"His face twisted with barely contained rage.He slammed the accelerator to the floor. The engine roared like a wild beast as the car shot forward, overtaking one vehicle after another.At that moment, the violent fury in Zeke's heart erupted completely.In his mind, Evan had always been nothing more than a substitute.Everything Evan had enjoyed over the past three years had originally belonged to him, and it should all be taken back.He wa
Roxanne was stunned.Hazel was just as shaken.The banquet had been arranged with such solemn grandeur that they had both assumed Evan was about to apologize.Instead, Stefan had publicly announced that Hazel and Evan were preparing to have a baby.The shock was overwhelming.What made it even more unbelievable was that Roxanne and Hazel spent time together almost every day, yet she had never heard a word about this.Hazel had never mentioned it once.Roxanne suddenly felt her throat go dry. Her head spun, and when she looked at Hazel, her vision almost seemed to blur."Hazel, this isn't true, is it? You and Evan are actually trying for a baby?"She simply couldn't believe it. She pressed the question again, even her tone turning a little sharp."I… I…"But Hazel didn't deny it right away.Instead, she looked flustered and hesitant. She even avoided Roxanne’s eyes, guilt written all over her face.That alone was enough to show that something was wrong.Hazel felt as if sh
Anya's face filled with shock as she asked in disbelief, "Really?""Really."Anya could no longer stay calm. Her whole body trembled.A few minutes later, she quickly dialed Zeke's number."Zeke, listen to me. Hazel…"While Anya was making the call, all the guests had arrived."Stefan, you invited so many of us here and made such a big fuss. What exactly is this about?" someone finally asked."Yeah. Even if it's a celebration, there should at least be a reason!"Some of the guests were already too impatient to hold back their questions.Stefan glanced at his watch."Just wait a little longer. The most important person hasn't arrived yet."That only confused everyone even more.The most important person?Hazel, who already thought she understood what was happening, started breathing faster."Is this the place?"Just as everyone was wondering, an abrupt voice came from the entrance.Moments later, they saw a familiar figure walk in.Evan."He's here."Roxanne quickly n
Even Cynthia's eyes lit up.If someone her age could be moved by this, then a younger, far more emotional person like Hazel would feel it even more.Hazel would definitely be touched."Well," Stefan said thoughtfully, "the problem with those two is that they’ve lost the feelings they used to have for each other. So we’ll help them find it again, little by little. Once that feeling comes back… nothing will be able to stop it."Both of them needed it.Both of them needed to rediscover what they once had.…At that moment, Hazel and the others were already on their way.Knowing in advance what was about to happen, the three heiresses were in excellent spirits."Hazel, how do you think Evan will apologize to you?" Anya asked dreamily.She was so excited.Hadn't everything they'd done been for this very moment?Evan would stop resisting, obey them again, and give Zeke his blood.It almost felt like a lifetime ago.Hazel thought for a moment before smiling."Based on what I kn
"What? He's already been married before?"Graham and Sadie were completely stunned.The Laurent family had always carried themselves with refinement and class. Anyone who married into Sean's family would, at the very least, be a respectable intellectual from a well-matched background with a spotless reputation.Yet the man Belinda was talking about had already been married?Sean's daughter had fallen for a man with a failed marriage?Even more shocking, Sean and Belinda actually supported it.It was nothing short of unbelievable.Graham felt as if his entire worldview had just collapsed.Sadie seemed to think of something and couldn't help asking, "For you to speak of him so highly, Mrs. Laurent, he must be someone extraordinary. A man who stands at the very peak in every way, right?""You could say that."Belinda nodded, smiling."Anyone who truly knows him says he is brilliant and extraordinary. Anyone who has ever received his help wants to marry their daughter to him. Le
'Well, would you look at that… Ms. Stanton has an incredible figure with curves in all the right places. She definitely lived up to her name of being sylph-like.'Sylvie was slender, completely different from Ivana, who embodied a mature, alluring kind of beauty.Evan had already noticed her figur
"What? You found him?!" Anya blurted in astonishment."Yes! After I posted the reward notice, someone contacted me and said he was the one who donated blood at the hospital that day!"If Evan had been there, he would've been stunned. He was the actual donor. Hence, anyone else could only be an imp
Evan hoped to find another rare treasure like the drakeblood root.Hugo truly lived up to his reputation as an obsessive collector of antiques. His entire mansion was filled to the brim with them.Hugo tried his best to curry Evan's favor, saying, "Mr. Norwood, do take your time. Just take whateve
Hugo was about to say something when a soft clink sounded behind him. Evan had finished his food.The man put his utensils down and wiped his mouth with a napkin. He was going to leave, but everyone's eyes were now on him."Hm?" Hugo turned around, momentarily caught off guard. Evan had barely reg
