Chapter 177

Penulis: Lightmoon
Marisol couldn't bear to let Emilia worry any more than she already had.

At Emilia's age, emotional strain could be dangerous. Marisol genuinely feared that the agitation might take a toll on her health.

"I should've known! That bastard was always unhinged! The entire Muller family must be insane to unleash a menace like him on the world!" Emilia's voice crackled through the line, raw with fury.

"Great-aunt Emilia, please don't—"

"What?"

"Nothing." Marisol bit back her suggestion about avoiding sweeping accusations, wisely shifting to soothing words as Emilia's temper threatened to combust.

A few more fiery curses followed before Emilia fell abruptly silent. Marisol's heart skipped.

"Great-aunt Emilia?"

"Don't worry, Ms. Speight. I'm with her," came a calm, gentle voice. It was Silvia, Emilia's secretary.

Relief washed over Marisol as she inquired, "Is she alright?"

The clinking of medicine bottles and sipping sounds preceded Emilia's calmer voice. "I'm fine. So what'

    "Mari? Mari?"The sudden calls in Marisol's ear pulled her back to reality. "Yeah, I'm listening."Marisol forced down the churning thoughts in her mind and chatted with Alinta about more details of the partnership before finally asking softly, "Is there anything you need me to do on my end?""Just keep yourself safe!" Alinta assured her. "I'll make this as quick as possible!"After hanging up, Marisol couldn't snap out of it for a long time.Nimbus... that name.…Years ago, Marisol sat in front of the computer in the lab, staring at the dense lines of raw code on the screen that held nothing back from her. Her eyes were full of amazement."This is incredible! Nick, you're absolutely brilliant!"Once this model is finished, you'll definitely make waves in the entire AI world! You'll be a leader in this industry for sure!"The young man beside her stood tall and straight. Hearing her words, his smile was bright and full of energy, and his voice was gentle yet strong when he s

    Marisol had no idea that Nevaeh had come here and was now in the study. Even if she knew, she wouldn't care.As soon as Lucian left, she called Alinta."Mari?" On the other end, Alinta's voice carried a hint of sleepiness. It sounded like she'd just woken up."How did it go? Did Ronan make things difficult for you?"Marisol was worried. Having Alinta deal with such a dangerous person had been a last resort, and her heart had been on edge ever since."Not exactly."Though she'd been pretty shaken up, Alinta didn't mention being held at gunpoint. She splashed some water on her face to perk up a bit."Mari, I'm thinking about working with Ronan. What do you think?""Working with Ronan?"Marisol's heart jumped, and her voice rose slightly. "What are you thinking? The Lowells are in deep trouble right now, and that's dangerous. If you get mixed up in this...""But it's the only way, and the fastest." Alinta cut her off."Besides, Mari, you said it yourself that from the moment I

    Marisol had already told Lucian she didn't want the shares. She didn't need a single penny from the Mullers, and there was no compensation whatsoever. Why wouldn't he just let her go?…The bedroom was dead silent. Lucian gripped her hand. His eyes were downcast as his black hair fell messily to hide whatever emotions might be in his eyes. But his voice was calm and steady."I made that robot myself."Marisol was fuming. "So what? Why would I want some piece of junk that's there to humiliate me every day?"It was just a humiliating robot that only knew how to say "I don't love you"! All it did was remind her how stupid she'd been for the past seven years.That thing represented Lucian's true feelings, his unwavering determination never to love her! Now, she'd stopped caring whether he loved her or not."Lucian," she said, keeping her tone controlled and calm."What's the point of dragging this out? You know you can't keep me locked up forever, and I'm definitely getting this di

    Before Marisol could turn around, her phone was snatched away. On the balcony, Lucian stood behind her chair, his thumb sliding across the phone screen.The call had already been disconnected. He didn't seem to care and casually dialed back.The phone just kept ringing. No one answered, but no one hung up either; it just went to automatic disconnect. He tried calling back several times, but it was the same thing every time."How incredibly rude." Lucian let out a mocking laugh and tossed the phone aside."What the hell are you doing?" Marisol had already gotten up from her chair. Her eyes were blazing with fury as she glared at the man who had absolutely no sense of boundaries."I'm just worried my wife might get deceived by someone else again. Thought I'd screen your calls for you."Lucian completely ignored her anger and strode closer, forcing Marisol to step back until her back was nearly against the glass window. Then he wrapped one arm around her slender waist, forcibly pu

    Perhaps it had been too long since he'd last seen Marisol because Andre clung to her all evening after dinner. He insisted she help him with homework, stay close while he bathed, and sleep beside him. His whirlwind of affection left Marisol with no time to contact her legal team. She would have to wait until morning. With her injured hand, she couldn't help him bathe, so she simply kept him company with conversation. She didn't refuse when it came to sharing the bed with Andre. Lucian didn't return that night. Zayne stood guard outside the bedroom door until dawn. …The next morning, Andre stood by the car with a small backpack on his shoulders and a pout on his face. "Mom, can't you take me to school?" he asked. Marisol was finally back, yet she wasn't sending him to school. Lucian had disappeared too, and neither parent would see him off. "Mrs. Muller's injuries make it difficult for her to go out. She'll send you next time," Zayne explained. Despite staying up all n

    Marisol was sitting in the master bedroom of Crimson Oaks Estate when Andre burst in. He darted across the room and threw himself into her arms. "Mom! Dad said you've been busy and not at home, and I shouldn't bother you, but I missed you so much!" Holding his small and warm body, Marisol's emotions stirred. The sheer closeness of their bond tugged at something deep within her. But after a brief pause, she collected herself, and her thoughts settled. She remembered the day before her court hearing, Andre had walked hand-in-hand with Nevaeh and Lucian to his favorite candy shop. The three of them were united like a happy family. She couldn't tell how much of Andre's affection had been genuine. Still, he was her son. Marisol gently nudged him to sit beside her, softening her voice as she asked about school and his recent adventures. But Andre resisted the distance. It had been a while since he'd felt close to his mother. When Marisol was away, he spent most of his time with
