It turned out that Briley had planted two poisonous plants in the small garden of Anna's mother. One was called Ghost Nightshade , whose fruit resembled small tomatoes, and the other was a plant commonly known as Drunken Heart Flower, which was highly toxic—its scent alone could cause hallucinations.Years ago, Briley had visited her pregnant sister, Tiffany, and intentionally picked some Ghost Nightshade fruits, mixing them into a bowl of small tomatoes to trick her sister into eating them. Just two of those fruits were enough to kill a child, as their toxicity was immense.How much her mother had consumed, Anna didn’t know. But one thing was certain: after eating the Ghost Nightshade, combined with the long-term exposure to the toxic flower's scent, her mother went into premature labor. The calming effects of both the Ghost Nightshade and Drunken Heart Flower made her mother’s contractions weak, eventually leading to a difficult labor and causing her death.Briley wanted to kill her

The one speaking was none other than Kendrick's best man, Seamus.Accompanying Seamus was his wife, Zara Xavier.When they arrived, Anna quickly stood up from Kendrick’s lap and sat beside him, her face slightly flushed from being caught.Kendrick held her hand, gently squeezing it as if to comfort her, then said to Seamus, "It’s us who should learn from you two. You've known each other for over ten years, right? Your kids are already a few years old, and yet you’re still as sweet as when you were dating!"Seamus sighed, "Yeah, we've known each other for twelve years, broke up for a few years, and the time we spent together was short."As he spoke, Seamus helped Zara pull out a chair, and they both sat down.Zara used the opportunity to greet both Kendrick and Anna briefly.Zara was very slim, with an air of cool elegance, but her demeanor was poised and straightforward. She seemed like the kind of person who was candid and unpretentious.Anna had heard from Kendrick that Zara graduat

Kamila froze, staring at him in surprise.He glanced back at her: “Do you feel like you don’t recognize me anymore?”Kamila opened her mouth but didn’t say anything.It finally dawned on her that the man in front of her was no longer the same young man she had known.He chuckled bitterly: “Don’t say that. I hardly recognize myself either.”“Is it because of work pressure?” she asked.Gauge looked at her deeply and replied, “No.”“Then… what is it?”Before she could finish speaking, Gauge was already standing in front of her.Kamila tilted her head up, gazing at the man in front of her, confused. What had happened? Did it have something to do with Anya?Kamila had heard some gossip about Gauge and Anya’s engagement. She knew Gauge hadn’t been willing, but after everything that had happened, he had no choice but to take

Gauge told Kamila everything that happened a month ago, everything Anya had said to him in the bar.Honestly, he hadn’t planned to explain it in such detail, especially not now, when he just wanted to be with Kamila. He had spent years in torment, finally making up his mind to come to her. Then, he had that incident with Anya, and after breaking off the engagement with her, he had planned to come to Kamila. But because of a business trip, he had to wait for over a month.Now, finally seeing her, Gauge actually didn’t want to say a word. He just wanted to hold her tight—of course, it wasn’t just holding her...But Kamila insisted on him explaining.If he didn’t tell her everything, she wouldn’t believe him, so he had no choice but to recount it all.As Gauge spoke to Kamila, his thoughts drifted back to the night Anya had proposed breaking up with him.At the time, he had planned to suggest breaking off the

After Mrs. Zamora’s funeral, Julissa returned the bracelet that Mrs. Zamora had given her to Liam.Once all the guests had been seen off, Liam took out the bracelet, thinking of his mother’s image, and could not hold back his tears again.At this moment, Maya suddenly appeared, snatched the bracelet, and told Liam that if he wanted it back, he’d have to come find her.The bracelet was Mrs. Zamora’s memento, and Liam cared deeply about it, so he went to see Maya. Of course, asking for the memento was just an excuse. The real reason was that he wanted to see her.To use Liam’s own words, Maya was like an addiction—it was hard to quit once you got hooked.When he said this, Maya winked at him, signaling for him not to be so blunt.But Julissa didn’t mind at all. She no longer had any feelings for Liam, so nothing he said could offend her. She even felt no awkwardness at all. It was like she was just lis
