Anson let out a bitter smile and sighed. "To be precise, he became part of the Huffman family when he was only eight."They were from out of town. We didn't even know where their hometown was. I rescued him from a car accident, which was truly horrific."I was surprised. "A car accident?"Anson nodded. "Yes. The other party was in a car, and they were a family of three on a motorcycle. The force of the collision caused the child to fall into the river below the bridge.“I quickly had my men jump in and rescue him. His parents, however, died on the spot. The scene was simply unbearable."As Anson spoke, he sighed weakly."If he hadn't been rescued in time, his life might not have been spared. After he woke up, he couldn't remember anything and just cried incessantly."He was terrified, seriously ill, and stayed in the hospital for a long time. He didn't like to talk, either. When he saw me, he suddenly grabbed my hand and wouldn't let go, looking like he wanted to cry. It was hea

It had been a while since I'd properly worked, so I arrived at the office early the next day.To my surprise, Carol was already there, tidying up my office. When I entered, she exclaimed, "Chloe, you're back? I missed you so much!""Yeah, I'm back." I stepped in with a refreshing smile, feeling a weight lifted off my shoulders."Did everything go smoothly?" she asked, then chuckled. "I guess that's a redundant question. I can tell from your expression that things went well.""You're sharp. Bring me the proposal for old Bourdamun that Ryan prepared. I'm back to work properly this time."As soon as I said that, I realized it might be too early for me to be sure of that."Oh..." I coughed awkwardly, trying to cover up, "Um... I'll have to leave again on Wednesday."Carol looked at me with a knowing smile. "Do you have to go to Gerby again?""How do you know everything?" I glanced at her and nodded. "Yes, I have to go again. Good things must be seen through to the end."Carol gave

“The police are pretty certain she’s still in the country and hasn't surfaced yet,” Atticus said when I inquired about Liora.“But didn’t they say someone else took her? Could they still be in Foswood? Why haven't they been caught after all this time?” I asked skeptically.“Her follow-up case hasn't been closed yet, and they're still investigating. It's tough.” Atticus gestured to the food. “Let's talk while we eat.”I picked up the cutlery and asked, “You mean the prison situation?”“The kid belongs to Felix. How could he run away with his brother? Franklin has been in court for many years, and Liora has given him plenty of opportunities. Their relationship has become an important chain, so how could they escape?” Atticus scoffed. “I'll make sure my people find something on them. Besides, they have a deep bond, so there’s definitely something fishy going on between them.”“Have you done your research?” I asked.He smirked. “I won’t let anyone who offended me off the hook.”I ga

I nestled in his arms, pouting. "I don't want to burden you too much.""But this is a special time for us. Our little one is on the way. That makes my responsibility even heavier. I won't shy away from it. Plus, I’ll support whatever decision you make."When Atlas said that, he was serious, leaving no room for doubt."We've been handling the Chandler family business from start to finish, so we can't miss this final trial. It's not just about supporting Beatrice. We also need to wrap up our affairs properly. That's how we can achieve a perfect ending to this chapter."His words moved me deeply. He spoke not only to relieve my burden but also to ensure I knew about his unwavering support. "And there's a third reason too. I've already confirmed the grand opening ceremony for Arkadia Plaza in Gerby on Saturday. We can't miss it, no matter what." His reasons were undeniably compelling.I was overjoyed and threw myself into his arms. "I knew it. You'd never blame me. You're the best h

Theo walked over with a smile. "We're all Beatrice’s classmates, so we wanted to be here for her at a moment like this. We need to show her that she’s not alone and we’re here to back her up."If Ivanna hadn't told us about this, we might have missed it. Everyone I could call is here."Ivanna looked at me proudly and said, "We missed out on rescuing her, but we can't miss out on supporting her now."As I was about to say something about Jared, Ivanna interrupted me."Are you only going to let your husband take the high ground?" she protested disdainfully. "We have to step up too."Everyone looked at the two of us. They knew that our marriages weren't completely public, but at the last reunion, everyone had met Atlas and knew he was my husband. But even though they knew Ivanna was pregnant, nobody knew who her husband was.Ivanna didn't care, and she had no plans to make her relationship public, but she couldn’t escape scrutiny this time.Sure enough, as we were talking, Jared st
