Chapter 191

Marisol understood Lucian all too well.Perhaps he did have some trace of affection and attachment toward her that came from sharing a bed, but it paled in comparison to so many other people and things. His company and career, his childhood friends, his childhood sweetheart—they all came before her. She'd seen through it all with crystal clarity over the past seven years.If there were scales in Lucian's heart, she would undoubtedly be the lightest, most insignificant weight. On that point, he never failed to meet her expectations.Elizabeth didn't know the specifics of the situation. She complained angrily about her son leaving without a word, then came to comfort Marisol. Elizabeth was worried she might be upset.…The Telsons arrived around noon. It was Elizabeth's older brother, Paul Telson—Lucian's uncle—along with his wife, Viola Granger, and their son, Zachary Telson.When they arrived, Marisol went to the gate with Elizabeth to greet them.Soon, a refined middle-aged m

The greenhouse fell into dead silence. Hearing that insolent tone, everyone froze for a moment, unable to react.Even Marisol was stunned. She was certain she had never offended Zachary and had barely even met him a few times. What did this unprovoked malice mean?"You brat, apologize!" Viola was the first to react. She grabbed her son's ear while facing Marisol with a mixture of shame and embarrassment.Zachary immediately broke free, clearly displeased. "Why should I? I called her by her name! What's wrong with that?""Zachary!" Paul's low shout carried such force that his usual graceful composure nearly cracked.Seeing that his father was about to take action, the clever Zachary darted behind Elizabeth in a flash. He crouched there. "Aunt Elizabeth, save me!"Elizabeth looked at Marisol's expressionless face, then at Paul approaching with a dark expression. Then, she turned to see the overly spirited Zachary. Looking troubled, she could only manage one sentence after a long pa

Chapter 193

There was a sudden noise behind Marisol. She turned to look and saw Zachary pushing through the door. He wore only that thin blue-black denim jacket, seemingly oblivious to the cold, and flashed that brazen, roguish smile."Hello there, Marisol."…In the study, Paul let out a heavy sigh. "Ellie, we really had no choice but to come to you for help."You know how busy Viola and I have been with our careers these past years. We're constantly traveling. We haven't been strict enough with the brat."We never thought his grandparents would indulge him to this extent. No limits whatsoever. Now he's completely out of control. He actually... he actually…"He was stuck for a long while, unable to get the words out.Elizabeth and Keane exchanged worried glances. "What exactly happened?""Let me explain." Viola sighed softly and took over."Ellie, you know our family has been in the arts for generations. Each generation produces one or two artistic prodigies, and we had the same expectat

Several dozen minutes earlier, the glass greenhouse door opened. Zachary walked in with a smile, closing the door behind him with his other hand."Hello there, Marisol."Marisol turned around, leaning back against the rose trellis with an expressionless face as she watched the newcomer, wanting to see what this brat was up to.Zachary stepped closer, his fingertips lightly brushing the roses on the trellis as he smiled. "Why won't you talk to me? I've been looking forward to meeting you for so long."That was hard to believe."So what's this about? What's your grudge?" Marisol was direct."Grudge?" Zachary looked stunned."With that attitude of yours, I can only assume there's some kind of grudge," Marisol said flatly. "Might as well get it all out in the open today and settle it once and for all."Zachary was speechless for two seconds, then suddenly burst into laughter. "Marisol, you really are fascinating! It's no wonder you managed to win Lucian over."Marisol's expression

Marisol chuckled coldly. "Sorry, but I do hit men."These past few days, she'd been hitting wall after wall over the divorce, and was threatened with surveillance and coercion. She was already at her wits' end and in a terrible mood. Now this foul-mouthed little brat had to come along and walk right into the line of fire.She showed no mercy, chasing after Zachary and swatting his backside."Telling me what to do? And cursing me on top of it..."It was bad enough that this little punk was trying to boss her around. But he was also insulting her indirectly and cursing her to be married to Lucian for life. He absolutely deserved a beating!And that's how the chase led them straight into the study.…Separated by a doorway, Marisol stood outside, expressionlessly watching the group of people inside. She was still holding the garden trowel, but she did not enter.The people in the study were all stunned. None of them had ever seen Marisol like this. They'd never imagined that someo

"Alinta Gardner?"Nevaeh was surprised. Wasn't that Marisol's best friend?"Yes."Charles frowned slightly. "Recently, my people have been secretly splitting up and competing for client sources connected to the Lowell family, as well as major project resources, but they've faced significant obstacles."After investigating, we discovered that this Alinta lady is leading a group of agents to interfere. Several big projects have already slipped away.""Why would she do this?" Nevaeh was puzzled.Since Lucian had paid attention to this woman before, and she was connected to Marisol, Nevaeh had specifically had her investigated.Her family owned Helio Corporation, and she was the Gardner family's only daughter.From what she understood, while the Gardner family was wealthy, they didn't have any significant power backing them. Plus, their industry had little overlap with the Lowell family's business.Now that the Lowell family's head had disappeared under suspicious circumstances, p

"We should have noticed something was wrong much earlier."Nevaeh's expression was ice-cold. "Ronan isn't dead, and he's been staying hidden while letting the Lowell family weather the storm. He's probably been sitting back and enjoying the show from behind the scenes. How close is the Lowell family to collapsing?"Charles frowned, thought for a moment, then shook his head. "Not close enough.""Exactly. But if we keep going like this, we'll be discovered first."Nevaeh lowered her eyes and said coolly, "What we've gained so far is already substantial. We should pull back and secure what we have. As for the Lowell family, there will be other opportunities, won't there?"Charles thought it over and smiled. "You're right. Ronan still has one fatal weakness—his brother, who's always been infatuated with you. Use that properly, and we can still destroy the Lowell family."It's just a matter of time. You've been in contact with him recently, haven't you?""Yes."Nevaeh closed her eye

Chapter 198

After her failed divorce attempt, Marisol had been under constant surveillance. The reasons she couldn't escape included the Gardner family situation and the tight monitoring, but there was another very important factor.Her proof of residency, ID card, passport, and other documents had all been confiscated.Now that Lucian was at the hospital with Nevaeh and probably wouldn't be back anytime soon, couldn't she take this opportunity to go to Crimson Oaks Estate and look for where these documents were being kept?Otherwise, even if Alinta and Ronan worked together to extract the Gardner family from this predicament and remove the threats holding her hostage, she'd still be unable to move freely without these documents.Once this thought occurred to her, Marisol's mind began racing. Next, she just needed to figure out how to find an excuse to leave the Muller family residence without arousing suspicion.But before she could come up with a plan, the Telson family visitors started pre

"They're deluding themselves! What's that got to do with me?" Zachary defended himself."You're always like this! If Lucian does something wrong, it's fake or it's a rumor. Why don't you ever believe anything I say?"Paul raised his voice too. "If you didn't give them the wrong idea, why would they misunderstand? And it's not just one misunderstanding—it's over ten!""Can I control what others are deluding themselves about?"The father and son continued to go back and forth in this manner, with Viola occasionally trying to mediate. They argued all the way home.Back at their own villa, Zachary stormed upstairs with a dark expression. The sound of his door slamming echoed down to the first floor.…Zachary lay on his bed, still fuming. He strode over to his computer desk and opened his Instagram page, skillfully clicking on his only special follow.It was the Instagram account of a comic artist called "Dreamy". This comic artist had created a personal account just a few years ag

Chapter 200

The car slowly drove through the villa gates of Crimson Oaks Estate that evening. The two bodyguards waited downstairs while Marisol went upstairs to the bedroom to find Andre.As soon as Andre saw her, he rushed over. "Mom!""Mmm..."Marisol had things on her mind. She hugged the child and spoke to him gently for a bit, then told him she needed to pack some things so they could go to the Muller family residence for a few days. She asked him to play by himself while she got ready.Andre didn't want to be alone at home, so he agreed.After getting Andre to play on his own, Marisol pretended to pack while actually searching for places where documents might be hidden. She went through almost the entire second floor except for the study, even glancing through the child's room.But there was nothing—she found absolutely nothing."Mom, what are you looking for?" Andre was fiddling with a game on his tablet and looked up curiously."Oh, I'm thinking about what toys to bring for you to
