LOGINThe dining room, which was usually quiet, had somehow become unusually lively.Aria and Alex sat side by side, arguing passionately over who had received the bigger pancake, while Adin sat between them with a helpless expression on his little face, trying his best to act like the mature one among the three."Mummy, Brother Alex stole mine!" Aria complained with puffed cheeks, pointing accusingly at the culprit beside her.Alex immediately widened his eyes in disbelief."No, I didn't! Grandma Cassy gave me this one!""You're lying!""I'm not!"Seeing another war about to break out over breakfast, Sarah shook her head helplessly and was about to intervene when a deep voice cut through the noise."Eat properly."Nathan's tone wasn't loud, yet the effect was immediate.Alex obediently lowered his head and resumed eating, while even Aria blinked her large eyes and quietly picked up her fork again as though nothing had happened.Adin stared at Nathan with admiration written all over his lit
Sarah froze.Standing outside her villa, one big and one small, were Nathan and Alex.Before she could even react, Alex broke free from his father's side and threw himself into her arms happily."Mummy!"Sarah almost lost her balance before she steadied herself and hugged the little boy."Alex." She smiled helplessly and pinched his cheek lightly. "Didn't I tell you not to call me that?""But you're Mummy." Alex blinked innocently. "Aria and Adin call you Mummy too."Sarah could only laugh helplessly.Only then did she lift her eyes and meet Nathan's gaze.Nathan stood quietly beside them, dressed in a black suit. His face was as expressionless as ever, but the moment he heard his son call Sarah "Mummy," the corners of his lips twitched slightly.No matter how many times he heard it, he still found it absurd. Yet strangely, he no longer felt the urge to correct him.Instead, his eyes unconsciously fell on Sarah's tired face. Her eyes looked sleepy, and there were faint dark circles be
The next morning when Sarah woke up to her ringing tone, she sluggishly picked up the phone, and it was Sophie, her best friend.Sarah, are you still sleeping? She asked her playfully. So are you ready for tomorrow? Sophie asked. Because I can't wait to see their faces turn sour.Sarah also laughed, Oh yes since they like drama let's give them whatever they want.So has Nathan said anything from it? She asked carefully. āYes, yesterday he helped me and asked why I'm so quiet after what's buzzing online?ā She replied knowing that Sophie wouldn't stop asking so she tried changing the topic.Does Mrs Reed still come to the office? To make noise? She asked carefully.And Sophie burst out laughing? Oh that woman is really a fire. I know all this is your Stepsisters doing, Sarah they are trying everything possible to see you behind bars.Of course Emma would do anything she wants and likes to make sure I spend the rest of my life there and I am more than welcome to see her face tomorrow th
Sarah immediately became alert, her eyes fixed on Harry Luke as she said, "Mr. Nathan my house is a bit messy, and it's not convenient for guests. It's getting late, so you should probably head back."Nathan chuckled, no it's not a problem I just want to say hi to the kids."Sarah's expression didn't change but she knew that with madam Cassy and the kids at home, Nathan wouldnāt try anything, even if he had any mischievous intentions. Still, something about Nathan's earlier words in the car made her feel he wasn't entirely trustworthy.She quietly opened the door, and sure enough, the kids were already playing together. Hearing the noise at the door, the two children ran over, clinging to Sarah's pants.Aria was hugging her leg and sweetly calling, "Mommy." He looked like a little puppy, just missing a wagging tail.Hey you all should say hi to uncle Nathan, Hi uncle, both of them greeted him.He scorched their height. Hi, how are you both doing? He asked, smiling wildly.āUncle, wher
Sarah felt extremely uncomfortable with Nathan words. She paused, her expression distant, and said, "Brother-in-law, you really know how to joke. Are you trying to stage a scandal? Sorry, I'm not into that kind of drama!"Hearing Sarah call him brother-in-law, Nathan face darkened slightly. Wondering if she hated him that much. He clasped his hands together, his fingers twitching a bit. After a moment, he asked with a serious expression, "The court date is in a couple of days, and the evidence is almost conclusive. Ms. Irish, do you have a plan to get out of this unscathed?"Sarah settled back into her seat. Despite sitting on opposite sides of the cramped car, the space felt tight. She raised her eyes and asked, "I gave Mrs. Reed a plagiarized script. With that alone, Mr. Nathan shouldn't be on my side, right?""At the press conference, Ms. Ives clearly stated her intention to collaborate with the Reeds Group. Now that this has happened, do you think Mr. Nathan can just stand by and
Chapter Thirty sixBy morning, Emma had already set everything in motion.A private legal consultant sat across from her in the dim-lit study, carefully reviewing the documents she had prepared. The room was quiet except for the faint rustle of paper.āIf this goes through,ā the man said slowly, adjusting his glasses, āit will be treated as official authorization from the original designer.āEmmaās lips curled slightly. āGood. Then proceed. I want it filed before noon.āHer mother stood behind her, arms folded, watching with quiet satisfaction.This time, Sarah would have nowhere to turn.Meanwhile, across the city, Sarah set her teacup down slowly on the glass table of her balcony.Her phone lit up with a messageāand she didnāt even need to open it to know what it was about.A faint smile appeared on her face.āSo⦠they really went for it,ā she murmured.Adin, who had been standing nearby, frowned. āDonāt tell me you expected this.āSarah leaned back slightly, completely relaxed, as

Chapter ThirteenSarah's phone buzzed against the conference table.She had been mid-sentence when she felt it. She held up a finger, glanced at the screen and every other thought left her head.Mom, could you come to the school? Someone is following us.She knew her son. Adin did not send messages
Chapter TwelveSarah was walking out of the building when her phone rang.She glanced at the screen-Sophie. She almost let it ring out. It had been a long day and all she wanted was to get to the school before the pickup rush, collect her kids, and just breathe. But Sophie didn't call unless it mat
Chapter Seven: Illegitimate SonNathan froze when he opened his phone and saw the photograph on the screen.Number one trending.Alex, his son, smiling as if the world was still the same as always, standing right beside Sarahās child. The resemblance was so brutal it hurt to look at. Almost twins.
