Tobias followed the address Fiona had sent, arrived at the restaurant, and went to private room 888. When he entered, he noticed a man beside Fiona.Tobias quietly sized him up as he quirked his eyebrow. He remembered how he'd accidentally bumped into Samson in the hospital. He'd thought it was a brief encounter and had never expected he'd meet the latter again. "You're here, Tobias!" Fiona appeared exceptionally nervous. "I wasn't sure what you liked, so please order.""Okay." Tobias walked over and flipped the menu.Fiona was so anxious that her heart was about to jump out of her chest. Samson poured her a glass of warm water, smiling at her gently. Fiona drank the water, but she still felt anxious.Tobias saw their interaction from the corner of his eye. He had a rough idea of what Fiona was about to say.""Tobias." Fiona mustered the courage and said, "This is Samson Saint-Laurent from Faldoria. He is half-Faldorian and half-Clusian. Samson, this is my son, Tobias Ripley."

Maya was recuperating at the hospital. Her brother, Luther, came to visit her. The bodyguards outside her ward were instructed not to let Maya out. They looked at each other and let Luther in to see her.Maya's face immediately fell when she saw him. "What are you doing here?"Luther flippantly said, "Maya, you seem to be living comfortably with Brett now. You're even staying in a high-class VIP hospital ward!"Maya frowned. She impatiently said, "What do you want?"Luther arrogantly said, "Give me 500 thousand dollars."Maya said, "I don't have that kind of money!"Luther said, "I don't care. If you don't give me 500 thousand, the gambling house will have my hand chopped off. I have such a rich future brother-in-law. You even slept with him and gave him a baby. Just ask him for the money."Maya looked displeased but knew Luther would never take no for an answer. She said, "Brett will never give me the money. If you don't believe me, I'll call him now."Then, Maya took Luther's

Faced with Tobias' relentless pressure, Cedric held his ground and responded with a question of his own. "What proof do you have? Don't hurl false accusations at me."Tobias scoffed. "You won't give up until you've hit a dead end, huh?""I know everything you did to win over a dozen old-time shareholders and employees." Tobias said disappointedly, "I know Joaquin is Klaus and that you partnered with him to take over Ripley Group."Cedric's eyes flickered. He thought for a while and exclaimed, "Avery betrayed me!"Tobias didn't answer him and continued to press in. "Cedric, our family has never mistreated you. Why did you do it?"He had an answer in mind, but he wanted to hear Cedric say it.Cedric's eyes dimmed as he said, "Because I hate all of you! You're all to blame for what happened to my dad!"Confusion flickered in Tobias' eyes. "We're all to blame for what happened to your dad?"Cedric's anger hit the roof as he said, "To be exact, your dad caused my dad's death. My dad

"What? Did you get into an accident? Are you okay, darling?"Lucy became anxious when she heard Tobias had been in an accident. She felt like her heart was stuck in her throat.Tobias said, "Don't worry, darling. I only have minor injuries. This accident happened because of my confrontation with Cedric. I never thought he would come for my life!""Cedric wants to kill you?" Lucy was in utter disbelief. "I never thought he would be this vicious."They were miles apart on the phone, but the atmosphere felt tense. They had heavy looks on their faces; both of them were worried.Lucy asked, "Does he want to take over everything?"Tobias said, "From what he said, he's seeking justice for his dad's death. I'm not sure who fed him lies, but he thought my dad killed Uncle Zeke. Heh, he really thinks my dad is capable of that!"Tobias looked down on Zayne, but it was the truth. Zayne was good-for-nothing who only knew how to cling to fleeting love affairs.He didn't have what it took to

Lucy suddenly shrieked, making Tobias anxious. "What's the matter, babe? Did something happen?"Lucy caressed her belly and said happily, "Darling, I-I can feel our babies moving!"Tobias was overjoyed. "Really?"A blissful smile spread across Lucy's face. She caressed her belly as her eyes turned into a gentle gaze. "Without us knowing, our babies have already become over two months old. They're even moving now."When Tobias heard that, he was upset. "It's a pity that I'm not with you now. I really want to feel them. Babe, how does it feel? Does it hurt?"Lucy recalled the feeling and said, "The feeling was interesting. It felt like someone punched me in the stomach.""These two rascals are bullying you before they're even born!" Tobias snorted and said, "I'll make them pay once they enter the world. I'll avenge you."Lucy covered her mouth and snickered. "You're overreacting. The punch wasn't that hard. I didn't feel a thing. It just came so suddenly that I was caught off guar
