However, there were many ways for others to manipulate the paternity test that Violet had ordered, reflecting on the entire situation."Ruby deceived me! I won't let her get away with this!" Violet's face turned red with anger."Enough!" Anthony grabbed her hand and sternly rebuked her, "That's not the most important thing now." He turned his gaze toward Kevan and continued, "Even though Bethany isn't your biological daughter, she's still a human life. Not to mention we have formed a bond with her through the time we spent together. We just can't stand there and do nothing, especially considering the fact that she was kidnapped because of you.""I'll take care of this matter. You both don't need to worry," Kevan assured them.His father had always trusted him. Besides, he couldn't control his adult son anymore. "Alright then, we won't have much to worry about."Anthony turned and glanced at his wife, who was still in a state of shock and anger. He removed his glasses from the bridge of

"Oh." Lewis nodded subtly.Rena quickly changed the subject, asking, "Larissa, are you thinking of letting me handle the marketing strategies for your hotel?"Larissa shook her head in response. "It's a bit complicated. I'll explain in detail when we reach the hotel."Rena didn't press further.When they got out of the car, Lewis asked Rena for her business card, providing a valid reason. "I'll reach out to you in case our company requires any marketing assistance."…Larissa personally covered the expenses for a luxurious suite for Rena and ordered a variety of dishes for her. After a satisfying meal, Rena slumped onto the couch, rubbing her belly."Tell me what you want me to do. I'll make it happen if it's within my capabilities." She waved her hand confidently.Larissa smiled faintly. "I have a big scoop for you."Half an hour later, Rena's eyes widened, her mouth agape as she stared in disbelief."A-Are you sure you want me to break this news?" She looked at Larissa with a complic

"You will pay for this!" she muttered angrily as she passed by Larissa.Larissa smirked in amusement. "Ms. Xander, your payback hasn't arrived yet. So, I'm afraid you'll have to wait a little longer for mine." Yvette was left speechless and unable to respond.…As soon as Yvette left, Larissa's assistant hurriedly rushed in. "Ms. Seymour, are you okay?" He looked at her with concern, scanning her up and down."Yeah, I'm fine. Have the security guards escort Yvette out directly when she shows up next time," she ordered with a slight smile.He nodded in response. "Sure, I'll take care of it."…Meantime, Yvette seethed with frustration after being humiliated by Larissa. She could only vent her anger by pressing the hotel elevator's buttons vigorously."Slut! She's just as worthless as the useless wimp! I should have never given birth to her!" she muttered under her breath. As she cursed, the elevator reached the top floor. The doors slowly opened with a ding.She entered the elevator wi

Should she let him in? Larissa questioned herself as well. She didn't want to see him—or rather, she didn't want to see anyone. All she wanted was some peace and solitude. However, she couldn't turn Gary away. Among his various roles, the one that mattered to her the most was his status as a valued guest at the Winston Hotel."Sure." She nodded.After her assistant left, she picked up the mouse from the ground. The battery, along with the cover, had been knocked off, and there was even a crack on its surface. Frustrated, she muttered under her breath and threw everything she was holding into the trash bin.The door was opened once again. Gary and Lewis entered her office, one after another. She wasn't prepared mentally when she caught sight of Gary. So, her body froze, and her heartbeat involuntarily quickened. She lowered her head intentionally, avoiding eye contact with Gary. After taking a deep breath, she mustered a faint smile and asked, "Is there anything I can help you with, Mr.

Larissa walked with her back facing the car. So, by the time she heard the sound of the engine and turned to look, it was already too late.A sharp pain struck her lower back, and both her feet left the ground. After a brief half-minute, she fell to the ground in a prone position. The pain was so intense that her limbs became numb, and it felt as if her internal organs had shifted.Screams echoed in her eyes, and she could feel a warm liquid sliding down her cheek. Her vision darkened, and she lost consciousness completely.She didn't know how long she had been unconscious, but when she woke up, everything around her was pitch black without a trace of light. For a moment, she thought she lost her sight.Luckily, her eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness, and she could vaguely make out the outline of the ceiling above her. The strong scent of disinfectant filled her nostrils, reminding her that she was still in the hospital. She tried to move her neck to look at her surroundin
