The three kids on the stairs: “…”Mommy, lying through your teeth with your eyes wide open like that… aren’t you afraid you’ll teach us bad habits?One kid per step, all sneaky like little thieves—how could you possibly call that “one”?Benjamin’s gaze lingered on her, amused and sharp all at once. She was hiding something, covering it up clumsily. Was she… afraid? Afraid he might snatch the kids away? Or something else?Amanda, your escape plan has just collapsed.The smile on Benjamin’s lips deepened, turning dark and cunning.“Amanda, you’re closer than I am. Why don’t you count them yourself? How many do you see?”Amanda: “…”“One,” she said, with absolute conviction.Benjamin: “…”Carrying a bag of oranges, he walked inside, his eyes sweeping over the three boys

Robin let out a cold laugh. “Lydia, I didn’t accuse you of anything. Why are you getting so worked up?”Wasn’t Lydia supposed to be the gentle and kind type? Did he strike a nerve?Lydia pressed her lips together and stopped talking. The more she spoke, the more likely she was to slip up.In Benjamin’s eyes, Robin was practically family—almost like a brother. The last thing she could afford was open friction with him.“Robin, I apologize,” she said softly. “I was just worried about the president and madam. My tone was too harsh. Please don’t take it to heart.”Robin’s frown only deepened. Worried about Madam? Yet you’re questioning her like that?Still, he wasn’t interested in a workplace quarrel. Offices already had too many people playing petty games. At the police station, in the interrogation room.Benjamin and Amanda sat side

Mary saw Amanda’s expression change drastically and grew nervous. She had finally seen a glimmer of hope for her daughter’s survival—she couldn’t let that hope be crushed. Otherwise, Sheila’s life would be worse than death.“Amanda, what’s wrong? Can Sheila still be saved?” Mary anxiously searched her face for an answer.Amanda snapped, “This medicine isn’t what I gave you. The pills I prescribed aren’t this shade. Yes, they’re off-white too, but that’s the natural color of the herbs, not this chalky whiteness from added starch. Even the scent is different. When you gave Sheila her pills this morning, didn’t you notice?”“Ah—” Mary froze in shock. After a pause she admitted, “This morning when I gave them to her, I did hesitate for a second. But when I saw they were all white pills, I thought nothing of it and fed them to her. Who would have guessed… it would end like this?”Her body trembled; she collapsed weakly to the floor, sobbing. “What do we do? How could the medicine have been

Mary looked at her daughter and said, “I’m exhausted. My children are proud and stubborn, my temperamental husband is violent, and he spends his days indulging outside. All these years, I’ve been barely holding this family together.”Tears welled in her eyes as she continued, “Since the day I married, I’ve never once done what I truly wanted. Every day has been about raising children and keeping house, dealing with everything here. Twenty-five years have passed. For the rest of my life, I want to live for myself. I don’t owe any of you anymore.”Stacey: “…”Amanda could understand Mary’s feelings. After all, she had been sacrificing for her children all along, and none of them were ever easy to deal with. That kind of exhaustion… it really could break someone.“Amanda.”A man walked in through the doorway. Handsome, refined, dressed in a white shirt, white casual pants, and white sneakers—elegant and otherworldly, as though he had stepped down from the heavens by mistake.“Hehe…” Aman

Howard: [I don’t even know anymore. Benjamin’s got a woman… is he actually showing off to us, brothers?]In the back courtyard, Robin was speechless. He stepped forward to glance toward the front yard. He was only supposed to investigate what had happened lately, but clearly, things had changed.Benjamin: [Anyway, I’ve got no time. My wife just went to bathe.]Howard: [Benjamin, you’ve fallen!]Benjamin sneered. Fallen? What did that even mean? Did they think he was some kind of monk?Fine, so he had lived twenty years without a woman. In Howard’s eyes—someone who lived like a libertine—it must have looked like he was indifferent to women.But now that he had tasted it, he realized—his wife was even more intoxicating than he had ever imagined.Benjamin: [Not chatting anymore. Time to eat with my wife.]Howard: […Someone tell me, is this really Benjamin? He’d never say something like that.]Robin: [I’m starting to doubt too.]Jacob: [I always thought he was useless!]Benjamin, just abo
