Haley stood on tiptoe and suddenly kissed Shane on the lips. "So, do you want me more, or do you want a daughter more?"Shane didn't hesitate. "Of course, I want you more."Even though he loved the idea of having a daughter, it couldn't compare to his love for Haley. Hearing his answer, Haley smiled with satisfaction. "That's more like it. Good answer."If he had dared to say a daughter was more important than her, she would have gone straight to her father to complain! She had someone to back her up now!Up ahead, Charles hadn't heard any noise from behind for a while and slowed down, turning to look back. When he saw his daughter kissing Shane in public, he couldn't help but frown.He clenched his fist and cleared his throat. "What are you doing? Hurry up and catch up.""Coming!" Haley and Shane exchanged a smile and quickened their pace, hand in hand....Charles originally wanted to take Haley back to Zac's villa, not wanting her to get involved in these matters, but Hale

Charles looked at Stanley and asked, "Why did you do it?""Why else? Dad always favored you. You can't understand why I'd do this!" Stanley started laughing, a sound laced with madness.From childhood, Charles had always been the favored one, receiving the most attention and affection. Stanley and Eason lacked the talent for managing the company and didn’t have likable personalities, so they were always overshadowed by Charles. When Stanley learned that their father didn’t have much time left but still planned to leave everything to Charles, he decided to take matters into his own hands.People would look out for themselves, even if it meant going against everything. Stanley knew his actions were morally wrong, but he believed the potential reward of a huge inheritance was worth the risk. If he failed, he would lose it all. But if he succeeded, he would gain everything. He hadn't anticipated his plan being thwarted and their father surviving.Charles took a deep breath, his ton

As evening approached, Haley noticed the tiredness on Mr. Fisher Sr.'s face and quickly stood up. "Gentlemen, you must be exhausted after such a long chat. Why don't you stay for dinner?"Mr. Fisher Sr.’s friends waved their hands and declined with smiles. "No, no, we'll come by another time. You take good care of your grandfather."Haley personally saw the guests off. When she returned, she found her grandfather already dozing off. She smiled helplessly and walked over to him. "Grandpa, don't sleep here. Let's get you to bed. Come, I'll help you up."Mr. Fisher Sr. slowly opened his eyes and nodded, letting Haley assist him.After getting him settled in his room, Haley went downstairs to get a glass of water before returning to her room. Shane was sitting on the couch, working on his laptop. When he heard the door, he looked up immediately.Seeing Haley enter, he closed his laptop and set it aside, opening his arms to her. Haley's heart softened, and she smiled as she sat on his

Sometimes there was no need for force as people naturally sought benefits and avoided harm. Often, once the pros and cons were weighed, the choice became easy.After this conflict was resolved, the dining table fell silent again. Mr. Fisher Sr. remained stoic, and everyone else fell into their own thoughts. The meal ended in this heavy silence.After dinner, Mr. Fisher Sr. went upstairs to rest with the help of a helper. As soon as he was gone, the anger Haley had been holding back erupted. She marched straight over to Ken.Ken was deep in thought when a shadow fell over him. He looked up slowly, meeting Haley's cold gaze. "What do you want?" he asked."Apologize," Haley demanded curtly.Ken thought he had misheard. "What?""Apologize," Haley repeated. "To me and my father. Didn’t I warn you not to provoke me? I won't let it slide."Ken laughed bitterly. "I’ll apologize to Uncle, but why should I apologize to you?""I might be an outsider, but I'm also their daughter. I underst

Just this morning, he had been smiling at her, teaching her how to play chess, and talking about naming her baby...How could he suddenly be lying there so still?"Grandpa, please wake up... it's Haley..."No matter how much she called, Mr. Fisher Sr. lay peacefully on the bed, unresponsive.She instinctively reached out to hold his hand, only to find it cold. Tears welled up in her eyes, blurring her vision. Immersed in her grief, Haley rubbed his hand desperately, hoping to warm it up.But it was no use.No matter how hard she tried, her grandfather's hand remained cold, growing even colder.Unable to contain her emotions any longer, she collapsed by the bed, sobbing uncontrollably.Others in the room, too, had tears in their eyes, struggling to look away.Only Ken watched coldly, a mocking thought in his mind. A granddaughter who just came back, how much feeling could she possibly have?What an act.But if it was for the inheritance, it made sense.No wonder his mother a
