"Now, what's the use of making these assumptions?" The man squatted down and roughly grasped Lyla's chin, his grip strong and devoid of any mercy.Lyla's chin ached from the pressure, but she remained silent and unflinchingly met the man's gaze. She didn't believe she had done anything wrong in this matter."You were promised to marry him while he was alive. So, even after his death, you should see it through!" the man said as his eyes narrowed slightly.A chill spread across Lyla's body. "What are you planning to do?" she asked.She had been captured and brought here several days ago. But it was only today that she met this man. Later, she learned that he was the one who had kidnapped her, and he'd done so because of that incident from years ago.The days she had been held captive were full of despair and torment, and she found herself longing for Sheldon.She wondered if he would search the world for her if he knew about her predicament. Or would he even worry about her?Lyla

The waiter gave the man an instinctive once-over.The man's attire was far from ordinary and even bordered on being shabby. Thus, the waiter seemed reluctant to pay him much attention and instead, he directed an inquiring gaze toward Harry.The man understood the waiter's disdain. So, before Harry could respond, he spoke up first and said, "Surely you won't begrudge the cost of a meal for our first meeting, right?"Not wanting to waste time on such worthlessness, Harry said, "Do as he says."Upon hearing this, the waiter nodded. "Alright, Mr. Harry. I'll have the kitchen arrange it right away.""Okay." With that, Harry made his way to a dining area nearby. Then, they found an empty table and sat down.The man leaned back lazily in his chair with a look of contentment. "The chairs at Zenith Diner are different from those in ordinary restaurants. They're exceptionally comfortable," he said."Can we get to the main point now?" Harry was already running out of patience."What's t

"You're still pregnant, right? Then, from now on… try not to tire yourself out running around. I'm in my 50s, can't I take care of myself?" Yvonne spoke gently."I came today not just to bring you some things, but actually… there's something else," Natalie said with a smile."What is it?"Natalie smiled again and then pulled something out of her pocket."An invitation?" Yvonne looked confused. Natalie explained with a beaming smile, "Yes, it's the invitation to my and Henry's wedding."Natalie was genuinely happy that she had found Yvonne at such a time. Now, she was able to have a family member attend her wedding and witness her happy moments together.Yvonne's reaction was a mixture of joy and surprise. "Really? You're having a wedding ceremony?""Yes, I never really expected him to make such a decision." A blissful smile curved Natalie's lips.Many things in life couldn't simply be obtained by asking. And the things that came without asking were always special.After all,

Natalie suddenly realized that in her haste, she had let slip something that she hadn't intended to disclose.Natalie brushed her nose regretfully, wishing she could take back her words.But words, once spoken, were like spilled water—they couldn't be taken back.So, Natalie had no choice but to honestly explain the situation to Yvonne."No wonder you came rushing to me when I was injured last time. I thought Jackson was kind enough to inform you. It turned out… He had simply received a favor," Yvonne said, visibly annoyed.But she also felt a bit guilty. If her family had caused trouble in Natalie's life, it would weigh heavily on her conscience.Afraid that Yvonne might feel burdened by this, Natalie quickly reassured her, "Mom, since the money has been given, let's not dwell on it, okay? "Your safety is far more important to me than money. Besides, money can be earned again, but family is irreplaceable."Yvonne didn't want Natalie to worry either, so she nodded obediently

"Maybe… I was never truly a part of your family. I didn't inherit that intelligence, and all my abilities and accomplishments were built through time and effort," Harry said.Throughout the conversation, Henry remained silent. But his gaze was deep and thoughtful as he listened to Harry.This was the first time Harry had spoken so much to him, and Henry knew these were the true feelings that Harry had suppressed for years.Harry continued, "All these years, I've been seeking others' approval. I didn't want to live in the shadows nor under someone else's spotlight!""Don't talk to me about this. I just want to ask you one thing—can you release Cliff?" Henry's gaze was unwavering as he looked at Harry. Now, the tone he used to talk to Harry lacked the courtesy of the past."I didn't expect that that project recently was a trap you set for me," Harry said with a bitter smile.The project was proposed to the Opulent Group under the guise of foreign investors and involved building an
