On their way to the conference room, Sheldon quickly briefed Yaslyn on the distribution of Warren Group's shares. Xoan held the most with 30 percent, Yaslyn owned 25 percent, and the remaining 45 percent was split among other stakeholders of Warren Group. Yaslyn nodded, indicating her understanding."I'll handle matters here. You go with Xylon to the hospital for the DNA test. Don't worry; everything will be alright," Yaslyn assured Sheldon.Sheldon was worried but gave a curt nod before departing.As Yaslyn approached the boardroom, she took a deep breath and steeled herself before pushing open the doors. Inside, a handful of shareholders—most with disdainful looks—were seated. She took a step forward, and the room was filled with a few condescending chuckles."Has the Warren family run out of suitable representatives that they've sent this young lady?" one mocked."Isn't that Yaslyn, Xoan's fiancee? Poor thing. With Xoan in a coma, she's practically a widow without ever being a

Even the typically composed Zion struggled to mask his disappointment. "But you're my child. Shouldn't you carry my name?"The thought of his son bearing a different last name weighed heavily on him, and he hoped Sheldon might consider changing it in the future."The Warrens raised me, and I owe them greatly. I won't abandon their name so readily." Sheldon's gaze was steadfast, but there was a hint of remorse in his eyes.Yaslyn exhaled deeply, empathizing with his sentiments. She herself had been reluctant to reconnect with the Carden family due to similar reasons. "He's demonstrating loyalty, Godfather. It proves he's a decent young man, filled with gratitude."Zion's expression shifted from anger to resignation. "Fine. If you're set on this, I won't intervene."He took solace in the fact that he still had Xylon, ensuring the continuation of the Chapman name. "However, you'll officially be reintegrated into the Chapman family. I'm planning to host a banquet in Jefferson City in

Yaslyn turned pale as though she was hit with a harsh shock.Seeing her vulnerable state, Sadie maliciously intensified the sting. She wrapped her arms around Xoan's neck and whimpered, "Xoan... I'm so afraid..."Xoan did not reject Sadie, but his gaze remained unflinchingly on Yaslyn who seemed visibly shattered. For some reason, seeing another man embrace Yaslyn so intimately made Xoan deeply uneasy. It was perplexing. If he truly had no feelings, why did he feel so conflicted?Before he could reflect on his emotions, Sadie's restless movements drew his attention. He whispered something to her, something that Yaslyn could not catch. However, despite her vision blurred by her tears, she could see a gentle softness in Xoan's actions.The painful truth settled in—Xoan no longer loved her. The depth of that pain was indescribable. The mere possibility that he might harbor feelings for someone else rendered Yaslyn utterly defeated.Yaslyn took a moment, inhaling deeply to steady hers

To the untrained eye, the vibrant display might seem purely ornamental. For someone like Yaslyn who was deeply versed in medicinal herbs, it was clear that these plants were meticulously selected for their dual purpose: therapeutic value and disguise.Bending down, Yaslyn picked a white flower and brought it close to her nose. A mild herbal scent wafted through the air. "This has to be Firethorn, known for treating cardiopulmonary issues."Quinn raised an eyebrow. "Sherman truly taught you a lot, didn't he?""Enough of that. Let's go inside. After a full round of the area, this seems the most suspicious spot."Quinn nodded. "Let's go."With great caution, the pair stealthily climbed the walls to access the inner courtyard, staying close to the walls to evade hidden traps. However, shortly after, Quinn let out a sharp hiss of pain.A vividly colored snake retreated, leaving behind unmistakable bite marks on his leg.Instinctively, Yaslyn swatted the snake away. Noticing the alarm

Xoan had always been a very rational man.Sadie, striving to calm the storm inside her, looked at him tearfully. "I'll make you fall for me again!" With that declaration, she suppressed her rising jealousy and ran away, leaving Xoan behind.A glimmer of light flashed in Xoan's eyes, but his mind was not on Sadie's words. Instead, he pondered on a familiar yet distant figure.What was Yaslyn doing in the capital? With that man by her side, what might they be up to? A wave of discomfort washed over him.Picking up his phone, Xoan said, "Book me a ticket to the capital for today."…As night came, Yaslyn was preparing to infiltrate the Carden family estate once again. As expected, Quinn was there to accompany her.As they stood atop the wall, peering at the estate's interior, something clicked."Doesn't it seem like the security measures tonight are different from before?"Yaslyn quipped, "Obviously! After the ruckus we caused last night, if the Carden family didn't upgrade their
