"We should get ready," Mom said, already moving toward her room. "Whatever Robert's found, it sounds important."
The journey to Robert's office in Midtown was slowed by unusually heavy traffic. By the time we arrived, my back was aching from sitting in the taxi, and my anxiety had reached a fever pitch.
Robert's assistant showed us immediately into his corner office, where he waited with a stack of documents spread across his desk. He looked up as we entered, his expression both triumphant and troubled.
"Thank you for coming," he said, rising to greet us. "Please, sit down. This might take some time to explain."
Once we were settled, Robert pulled out a folder and placed it in front of us. "We've been tracking the money that's been funding Taylor's defense—the bail payment, Whitfield's retainer, everything. It's been carefully concealed, routed through multiple shell companies and offshore accounts."

The Unwanted Wife and Her Secret Twins Chapter 300 Had something happened to Catherine?
Mia's POVAlexander's small body felt cooler against my chest as I carried him back to the car. The fever medication had started working, bringing his temperature down .I secured both boys in their car seats, adjusting Alexander's seatbelt carefully around his limp form. His breathing was deeper now, more peaceful. The flush had faded from his cheeks, leaving him looking pale but no longer burning up.Ethan immediately reached across the space between their seats, his small fingers finding Alexander's hand. Even in sleep, Alexander's fingers curled around his brother's, their hands clasping together.I sat behind the steering wheel for a long moment, not starting the engine.The hospital parking garage was dimly lit, filled with the echo of footsteps and the distant sound of ambulances arriving at the emergency entrance. Through the concrete walls, I could hear the muffled chaos of the hospital continuing its never-ending work of healing and loss.The nurse's words kept replaying in

Mia‘s POV"Alexander?Sweetheart, what are you doing out here?""I had a nightmare, Mama," he said in a small voice. "It was really scary, and I called for you, but you didn't come."I must have been in the shower and didn't hear him."I went to wake up Ethan, but he was sleeping like a log," Alexander continued, "He didn't even move when I poked him. So I had to come find you myself.""Oh, baby," I said, sitting on the sofa and pulling him onto my lap. "I'm so sorry I didn't hear you. Tell me about the nightmare."He snuggled against my chest. "There were these bad people, and they were trying to take you away from us. And Ethan and me were calling and calling, but you couldn't hear us.""That does sound scary," I said, stroking his hair. "But dreams aren't real, sweetheart. They're just our brains making up stories while we sleep. I would never, ever let anyone take me away from you and Ethan.""Promise?" His voice was muffled against my pajama top."I promise with all my heart."His
The Unwanted Wife and Her Secret Twins Chapter 298 What Gentlemen do
Mia's POV"Get in the car," I said to my sons."Can we get Gas first?" Alexander bounced on his toes. "He's probably lonely at home.""And dogs need fresh air too," Ethan added. "It's important for their mental health."Despite everything, I found myself smiling at Ethan's concern for our dog's psychological well-being. "Fine. We'll get Gas.""Maybe we could drive to the ocean!" Alexander exclaimed. "I want to see if the water really goes on forever like in the pictures.""It doesn't go on forever," Ethan corrected with four-year-old authority. "It goes around the whole world and then comes back to where it started. That's called the water cycle.""But how do you know it comes back?" Alexander challenged. "What if it just keeps going and going until it falls off the edge?""There is no edge, Alexander. The Earth is round.""Prove it."I listened to their debate with half my attention while navigating through Manhattan traffic.Gas greeted us at the apartment door with his usual enthus
The Unwanted Wife and Her Secret Twins Chapter 297 Mum, are you alcohol poisoned?
Mia's POVI woke up with the distinct feeling that something was watching me.My head felt like it had been stuffed with cotton and then hammered by a construction crew. Every muscle in my body ached, and my mouth tasted like I'd been chewing on gym socks.When I finally managed to pry my eyes open, I found Ethan and Alexander staring at me from the head of my bed.Both boys had their little brows furrowed. They were sitting cross-legged on my comforter.Ethan leaned closer to me, his dark eyes studying my face with the intensity of a tiny doctor. "Mum, are you alcohol poisoned?"Alexander clearly agreed with his brother's assessment, nodding solemnly. "You smell funny. Like the bottles grandma hides in the back of the cabinet."Their four little hands were gripping mine tightly, their small fingers warm and slightly sticky in that way children's hands always seemed to be. Even Gas was there, panting nervously at the foot of the bed, apparently disliking the whiskey smell wafting from
The Unwanted Wife and Her Secret Twins Chapter 296 Did you say yes?
Mia's POVScarlett stared at me as if I had grown a second head, "Mia, what just happened there?" she asked."They were planning to drug us," I said briefly, keeping my voice low. "Date rape drugs. In our drinks. They gave the bartender five thousand dollars to put the drugs in our cocktails, and then they planned to have a few men from the neighboring hotel come over to accompany us.""Are you serious?" she screamed, her voice carrying across the bar and drawing fresh stares from nearby patrons."Very serious. I heard them discussing it in the bathroom. They didn't even check if there was anyone else in the bathroom."Scarlett's laugh was infectious, building from a giggle to full-blown hysteria. "It's fate! Jesus Christ, Mia. Do you realize what could have happened if you hadn't overheard them?"Waking up in some hotel room, disoriented and violated, with no memory of how I'd gotten there..."Let's go, Scarlett," I said.We made our way through the crowd, ignoring the curious stares
The Unwanted Wife and Her Secret Twins Chapter 295 Taylor, you will regret this
Mia's POV"Don't worry," I said calmly, turning toward Taylor. "You're next."Taylor's eyes widened, but she wasn't fast enough to escape. I picked up Scarlett's martini glass and slowly, deliberately, poured the drugged alcohol over Taylor's head.The gin cascaded down her perfectly styled blonde hair in slow motion, each drop catching the amber light of the bar's expensive fixtures. The liquid soaked through the expensive strands. Ice cubes tumbled from the glass, bouncing off her shoulders and scattering across the polished marble floor with sharp, crystalline sounds."How is it?" I asked. "How does this special cocktail taste?""What the hell is wrong with you?!" Taylor screamed, violently pushing the table away from herself. The force of her movement sent chairs crashing to the floor with a thunderous clatter that seemed to reverberate through the entire establishment.The entire bar fell silent. All conversation ceased as if someone had pressed a cosmic mute button.The entire ba
