Aveline was particularly excited. Her parents had given her a special responsibility that evening, and she had been looking forward to carrying it out.Few days ago, Nadia had gone to the hospital to take a pregnancy test to confirm if she was truly pregnant. The result had come back positive, and it was confirmed that she was five weeks pregnant.Now, she and Adrian were ready to share the news. Throughout dinner, Aveline kept glancing at her parents, waiting for the right moment. Adrian eventually gave her a subtle nod.The little girl immediately straightened in her chair."Everyone." she called.The conversations gradually died down as all eyes turned towards her. Aveline beamed, clearly enjoying the attention."I have something to tell yo
Nadia stared down at the diary they had discovered in the locked room of the Laurent mansion. She had read the first few pages several times, yet the words still stirred something deep within her. They were written by Celeste, revealing a part of her past that Nadia had never known existed.According to the diary, Celeste had met a pregnant woman in another country years ago. The woman’s identity and the country’s name had been carefully omitted, but one thing was clear was how desperate the woman was to protect her child.She had pleaded with Celeste to take the baby and raise her somewhere safe. That baby was Nadia. Celeste had written about the strange connection she felt the moment she met the woman. Although she had not given birth to Nadia, she had grown attached to the unborn child and eventually agreed to take her away.After returning to Country D, Celeste had told her husband everything and he had accepted the situation without hesitation. Together, they welcomed the little
A few days later, Nadia and Adrian returned to the ruined Laurent mansion. They were there for answers.Noah and Jade had also come with them to help search the abandoned mansion. They divided the rooms between themselves, going through old cabinets, drawers, wardrobes, shelves, and piles of documents that had been left behind after the Laurent family's downfall.For hours, they searched and found nothing. Nadia's hope slowly began to disappear.She stood in the middle of one of the bedrooms, staring at the dusty floor."Maybe she was lying."Adrian looked at her."Nadia.""She was dying, Adrian."Her voice was tired."She knew I would never forgive her. Maybe she simply wanted to hurt me one last time."She looked around the ruined mansion."Maybe there was never anything to find."Adrian stepped toward her."We haven't searched everywhere.""We've searched almost the entire house."Before Adrian could respond, Jade's voice suddenly rang through the mansion."Guys!"Everyone immediat
Genevieve lay motionless in the hospital bed, surrounded by machines that seemed to be keeping her alive. Returning to the Laurent mansion was no longer an option.After Vincent and Evelyn's arrests, the once-bustling estate had become almost completely abandoned. Daphne was still nowhere to be found, and the servants who had once filled the mansion had gradually disappeared.Genevieve had lost her home, her family and now, she was watching her empire collapse from a hospital bed.The television mounted on the wall showed the latest news.LAURENT EMPIRE IN CRISIS AS INVESTORS PULL OUT.Genevieve's eyes remained fixed on the screen."Major investors have withdrawn their funds from Laurent Empire following the explosive allegations against Genevieve Laurent. Several smaller investors have followed suit, with the company's shares experiencing a dramatic decline..."Genevieve grabbed the remote and switched off the television.Her hand trembled."All of them..."Her breathing became heavi
Nadia immediately stopped the merger between Laurent Empire and Aveline & Co. There was no way she could continue with it after everything she had learned about her grandmother. She had spent years believing that Laurent Empire represented her family's legacy.Now she saw it for what it truly was. It was a legacy built on lies, greed, and blood.Nadia turned to Faye."Organize a press conference."Faye stared at her."Are you sure about this, Mrs?""I've never been more certain."With Bryan's help, Nadia obtained the video recording from the day Genevieve had come to her office. She watched the footage again.The fact that Genevieve had known about Vincent's plan and had deliberately allowed it to happen. This time, Nadia wasn't going to keep the truth within the family. She was going to expose Genevieve in front of the public.She also instructed Jade to sell every share she held under Laurent Empire. By the time the press conference began, the room was packed. Reporters filled the s
"Everything you did," Nadia whispered. "Every lie. Every sacrifice. Every person you allowed to suffer. You think it was worth it?"Genevieve didn't hesitate."Look around you."She spread her arms."This empire is worth billions. It will outlive us both. People will remember the Laurent name long after we're gone.""And my mother?"Genevieve said nothing."My father?"Still nothing."What about the daughter you murdered without ever laying a hand on her?"For the first time, something dangerous flickered in Genevieve's eyes."Enough."Nadia laughed through her tears."No. You don't get to silence me anymore."She wiped her face with trembling fingers."You spent my entire life deciding what I deserved. You decided who my mother should marry. You decided who should inherit your empire. You decided that my parents' lives meant nothing."She stepped closer."But you don't get to decide who I become."Genevieve watched her in silence.Nadia's voice dropped."I will never be you."The wor
