Sean turned around, his expression cold as he looked at Savannah. "Where exactly do you think I'm going back to?"Savannah's expression darkened. She still remembered how Sean had left the Smith residence back then. It had been right after Liliana's incident, around the time she disappeared.On the surface, Sean had seemed unchanged, but not long after, he voluntarily moved out.At the time, Savannah thought he just needed space to cool off. He had not cut ties with the family, so she let him do as he pleased, assuming he would return when the time was right. However, she had never expected that the same son who once discarded Liliana without hesitation would now be admitting he was the one clinging to her."If you already know she doesn't love you anymore, and you're not getting any younger, then start going on dates tomorrow. The ladies I've arranged for you are from well-established families. You should at least meet them.""It seems you still don't understand me," Sean repli

Seeing how much Liliana loved children, Noelle could not help but feel a pang of sadness. Liliana should have been a mother herself. If her child had survived, they would have been around the same age as Brandon and Seth.That incident had taken her child away, but it was clear to Noelle that Liliana genuinely loved kids—not just Bobby, but also Brandon and Seth.Charles furrowed his brows slightly at Noelle's suggestion. "Let's think about it. Bobby's situation is different from Brandon's."Noelle was a little disappointed. "But Bobby is still so young. Leaving him alone in the hospital doesn't feel right, does it?"She still wanted to bring Bobby home. "He hasn't found a suitable bone marrow match yet. Right now, he's just staying in the hospital to keep his condition stable. Besides, isn't Linda here with us?"Charles glanced in Liliana's direction before nodding slightly. "I'll think about it.""Come on, stop hesitating. There are so many people here to watch over him. What a

"Hmm?" Liliana patiently waited for Bobby to respond, but he only turned red with frustration, unable to find the words."Do you have a secret, Bobby? One you can't tell me?"Bobby hesitated, nodding at first before quickly shaking his head, looking visibly troubled. "Mommy, please don't be mad. I'll go home with you."Afraid that Liliana might be upset, he quickly reached out and tugged at her sleeve. "Let's go home, Mommy.""Good boy." Liliana gently patted his small head, but suspicion lingered in her mind. Had Bobby made a new friend while she was not around?Try as she might, she could not figure it out. "Alright, let's go home first. If you miss your friend here, I'll bring you back when I have time, okay?"She assumed that, at Bobby's age, any attachment he had would be fleeting. Once he met new friends, he would likely forget the ones from the hospital."Okay," Bobby agreed reluctantly.With that, Liliana took Bobby downstairs and left the hospital. Unbeknownst to her,

"Grandma…" Yves called out."Kelly… Is she the same girl you mentioned to me four years ago?" Jeanette sighed heavily."I saw her that day. She was covered in injuries. If Simon hadn't saved her, I fear she wouldn't have survived..." She didn't dare finish the sentence."Jacob, I don't expect you to achieve great things, but listen to me—let it go. Even if you want to go against the Hoffmans, the Yorks simply don't have the strength to contend with them.""Let me think about it." Yves closed his hand over the journal Jeanette had given him. He stared at it, suddenly feeling an overwhelming emptiness inside.It was as if the string that had kept his purpose tightly bound for so long had suddenly snapped, leaving him directionless."Alright," Jeanette relented. "I'll give you time. But Jacob, the Hoffmans won't. After dealing with Charles for so long, don't you understand him yet? Once he makes a move, there's no turning back. I don't want you to be consumed by hatred.""I underst

Charles tapped his long fingers rhythmically against the desk before finally looking up at Peter. "Do you understand his strategy?"Peter furrowed his brows. "No idea what kind of game he's playing, but if this continues, his companies will be finished within three days."Charles' frown deepened. Peter's thoughts aligned exactly with his own, which only made Yves' actions even more baffling."Let's wait and see. If anything unexpected happens after three days, we'll deal with it then. Anyway, you have plenty of funds at your disposal—if he wants to play, then entertain him."Peter was not worried about whatever tricks Yves had up his sleeve. No matter how formidable Yves was, he was still just one man.Peter refused to believe that he, Charles, and Steven—backed by their combined financial power—could be outmatched by Yves alone.For three days, Yves' companies continued dumping their stocks. By the final day, the damage was irreparable. But to Charles and Peter's surprise, Yves
