    "Mom, Dad, don't let Nina fool you!" Harold continued to shout hoarsely, still unwilling to face reality. "She's teaming up with outsiders to hollow out our family! Reinstate my position as CEO right now! I'm going to drive her out of Lane Co.!"Diana waved her hand impatiently. "Don't just stand there. Get him out of my sight!"Ian stepped out of his car just as Harold was thrown outside. The moment their eyes met, Harold broke free from the guards and charged at him, trying to throw a punch. Sadly for him, Ian was stronger as he countered with a single blow that sent Harold crashing to the ground.Harold lay there in a miserable heap, groaning in pain. However, not a single person spared him another glance.Fortunately, the brief disruption did nothing to ruin the family dinner that followed.Derek and Diana were already familiar with Ian, the son of Ardenfall's wealthiest family.

I named her Elena Sawyer, hoping she would grow up to have a bright and beautiful future.

The two of them had been looking forward to this for a long time and had already renovated the third floor of the family home into a private space just for my daughter and me.Derek and Diana were tied up with company matters on the day we were supposed to return together. So, I took a cab back to the family home with Elena.The moment we got into the car, I heard a familiar voice call out to me. "Where to?"I looked up and met Harold's gaze in the rearview mirror. He recognized me almost instantly. "Nina!"I didn't respond, but the

    As 10 days passed without incident, Diana personally accompanied me to Allemagne and only reluctantly returned home after ensuring that everything was just how I liked it.Life in Allemagne was unexpectedly peaceful. Aside from rehabilitation training, I usually spent my time watching shows and listening to Diana relay gossip about Harold and Leila.One day, Diana called me. She was practically bubbling with excitement as she said, "Nina, I've got huge news! Harold and Leila broke up. It's all over the entertainment headlines back home! You should check it out!"I swiftly checked the social media. Sure enough, their names were trending at the very top.When I tapped on the first headline, it showed me a post consisting of a six-page-long statement written by Leila. The entire post was basically her accusing Harold of using her and then discarding her.She even accused him of domestic abuse during their marriage and of extorting her. There were also several photos showing injurie

    Harold struggled, but Derek kicked him hard from the side. "You bastard, how dare you bully my daughter?""Who are you calling your daughter? Since when is Nina your daughter?" Harold tore himself free from the two restraining him upon hearing those words, his eyes bloodshot as he lunged forward to demand an explanation.Derek and Diana instantly reacted when they saw him charging ahead like a madman. One of them swiftly shielded me while the other pulled me into her arms protectively."Nina became our daughter the day you were busy defending Leila by using the company official account to warn netizens to watch their words. She became our daughter the day you turned a blind eye when they called her names! We've always liked Nina. "We foolishly thought that we'd be able to become her family once you married her. Yet, you ruined it all for Leila. We weren't about to miss out on such a good girl because of you, so we made her our daughter!"Diana had brought up the idea of adopting

    Harold thought he was hallucinating when he read the message.Frantic, he called the office and was told the decision was made by his own father.Not only had he been removed as CEO, but the company's shareholder structure had also changed.When he hurriedly checked the latest shareholder report, he found my name listed above his. I now owned 15% of the company's shares.Enraged, he called Derek, demanding to know why.Derek scoffed. "Didn't you tell us to just disown you if we trust Nina? Well, this is your formal notice that we certainly trust her more than you, so we don't want you as our son anymore! From now on, you're out of the board of directors. Nina will take over your position.""On what grounds?" Harold gripped his phone tightly and barked, "Dad, I'm your son! What spell did Nina cast on you? Why are you defending her again and again? You even gave her so many shares. You're handing power to a future threat!"Derek flew into a fit of rage upon hearing that."Harold,

    "Who approved your resignation without my permission?" Harold roared.I replied calmly, "You did. It was the evening you were celebrating your marriage to Mrs. Lane."Silence fell. Just as I was about to hang up, he said irritably, "I thought those were work documents for approval. I've canceled it. Come to work now, and I won't penalize you for being absent."His so-called generosity was almost laughable.As I couldn't be bothered to argue with him, I simply hung up to signal my refusal.On the other end, Leila was weeping after hearing what happened. "Harold, Nina must still be mad at me. I'll apologize to her now."Touched by her initiative, Harold replied, "I was way too lenient with her before. I'm so sorry you have to deal with this.""As long as you love me, I'm not afraid of whatever Nina will do to me."Her answer made his heart ache, and he soothed her gently. "Don't be scared. I'll be by your side."…At the entrance of the Lane family's hospital, I was about to le
