Semua Bab Bearing Triplets After Forced Marriage: Bab 21 - Bab 30

Amanda stood where she was, lost in thought. Delphine wanted to see her—at eleven o’clock at night, no less?What kind of matter required a meeting at that hour?She analyzed the current situation: Delphine had been sent to the back courtyard, and the old master had taken the opportunity of the Mark incident to give her a warning.Everyone living in this grand villa had their own hidden agendas. The old master stayed behind the scenes, watching like an audience at a play. Who was good and who was bad—he saw it all with piercing clarity.Benjamin lay unconscious. There was no way the old master would let someone like Barry—gloomy, power-hungry—take over the management of Benjamin’s company.Although all belonged under the Schmidt Group, Benjamin’s corporation operated independently, separate from the family’s assets.And Barry had long been eyeing it greedily. He was a man known for his patience.Amanda’s sudden appearance had disrupted his plans—naturally, he wouldn’t let her off easi

Miranda only looked away when she met Amanda’s gaze.Standing beside her was her younger sister, Eudora, a girl with a sweet and innocent appearance. Her shy eyes kept darting toward Barry among the crowd.She turned to the old master, looking excited. “Old Master, it’s all thanks to my sister bringing Dr. Wang here every day to treat Benjamin. That’s why he recovered so quickly!”There was no way she would acknowledge Amanda’s so-called “lucky marriage” as the reason for Benjamin’s awakening.The credit, in her eyes, belonged to the Lowe family.As Eudora’s gaze swept past Amanda, her eyes were filled with mockery.To be honest, even Amanda didn’t buy into the whole "lucky marriage" theory either. She knew perfectly well that Benjamin had awakened because of her own advanced medical skills—she had started mixing his medicine the moment she laid eyes on him.But this woman dared to claim credit? Fine. Looking at the Schmidt family members, their faces sharp and hostile like wolves and

Mark grew angry just thinking about that woman’s words.Still staring at the ceiling, he felt genuinely happy that his father was awake again. And for once, he wanted to share his feelings with Amanda.His young, delicate voice trembled with rage.“It’s Miranda. She’s liked Dad for a long time. Every time he’s home, she comes over looking for him. I really hate her. If Dad marries her, I’ll run away from home.”“After Dad got hurt, she still kept coming by. That day… she suddenly showed up at the cottage to see me…”When he got to this part, Mark’s eyes turned red. His small body curled up tightly, a posture full of unease.Amanda quickly pulled him into her arms, gently patting his back, heart aching for him.His words sparked a light in her mind—if her son was going to run away, maybe she could take him with her when she fled.But what that woman had said must’ve been vicious—only that could’ve upset her son so much.“You don’t need to hear the rest,” Mark mumbled. “It’s ugly… reall

The surroundings were pitch black. In the faint gloom, one could just barely make out a man and a woman at the center of the crowd. The man stood tall and broad-shouldered, his powerful silhouette betraying a certain lustful tension even in the shadows.A girl crouched before him, hugging her knees, her face buried in her palms as she sobbed quietly.Someone turned on their phone flashlight, casting a beam across her features. The outline looked very much like Amanda.“All right, enough talking,” the Old Master’s voice rang out, clearly irritated. “Wait till the power comes back on. How did it just go out like that, huh?”It was late. He just wanted a peaceful night’s sleep.These kids were going to be the death of him.“Dad, that Amanda is absolutely shameless. The blackout must be her doing—just so no one could see her face. You have to kick her out, Dad!” came a shrill voice.Amanda sneered. That had to be Delphine.“Great-Grandpa,” a childish voice piped up. “I promise I won’t mes

A chill swept through Barry's heart as he looked toward Benjamin. He couldn’t understand where things had gone wrong—everything had clearly been under his control.Benjamin glanced at the mother and son coldly.“Apologize to my wife before you leave.”Amanda was momentarily stunned.He just acknowledged her as his wife—in front of everyone?Barry’s fists clenched instantly. Apologize to Amanda? She was nothing to him!But Delphine understood that if they kept escalating this tonight, the outcome would only get worse for them.She stepped forward with a forced smile and bowed slightly.“Sister-in-law, it really was a misunderstanding tonight. I’m sorry—please don’t take it to heart.”Without giving Amanda a chance to respond, she quickly grabbed her son and dragged him over, giving his hand a sharp squeeze.“Apologize to your little aunt—now!”Barry knew that this apology meant lowering himself, swallowing his pride. But he was terrified of Benjamin—everyone around him was someone not
