Marko, the grown man, explained to Laura and William that Vivian was actually a woman who was never loved by Beckett, and it was possible that Laura, as Beckett's daughter, was not truly wanted by him either. That made Laura feel like she wasn't Beckett's biological daughter, and the only reason she had been kept around all this time was so they could benefit from her biological mother’s wealth—wealth that Laura herself should have enjoyed. Laura felt even more heartbroken, thinking that if there had been no inheritance, they would have abandoned her long ago.“If my father didn’t love my mother, then why did he marry her?” said Laura, crying in William’s arms.“If he hadn’t, then you wouldn’t be here in this world, and I wouldn’t be this happy with you,” William said, trying to comfort her.“It’s true, Laura. There’s always something good we can take from every situation. Your mother once said that feelings could grow with time. Vivian believed in that, even though she later found ou

“Why is it so difficult for them to find Marko?” Beckett said angrily. The man was worried that Marko might have met Laura and William without his knowledge. If that happened, they would surely side with Laura—something Beckett feared, especially since he had not yet fully taken control of Laura’s late mother’s company.“Is it possible that William has already met with him?” asked Shofia.“Then get ready to lose everything!” Beckett snapped, causing Shofia to click her tongue in frustration.Shofia offered her husband a suggestion on how they could avoid losing everything, even if Laura eventually found out that everything they had actually belonged to her.For Shofia, no matter what, she believed they still deserved a portion of Laura’s wealth.“In any case, if Laura ever finds out everything we've kept hidden, she has to give us part of her assets. Besides, she can’t take any of it without the power of attorney. And that’s in our hands. Without it, Laura can never claim her inherita

Shofia heard the news about Michelle being attacked in the prison cell by other inmates. As Michelle’s biological mother, she immediately went to check on her daughter’s condition. Her face was bruised, as was her body. Shofia cried when she saw Michelle's state, unable to say a word, but Michelle just gave a faint smile at her mother’s concern.“When are you going to get me out of here?” Michelle asked, eager to hear what Shofia would say—was it in line with what Laura had told her?“I’m sorry…” Shofia said softly, making Michelle smile faintly as tears fell down her cheeks. Perhaps it was true—there was no longer any chance for her to be released from prison anytime soon. Could she survive in prison? Michelle thought it was impossible.Living a glamorous, luxurious life with everything at her fingertips made it extremely difficult to imagine enduring life behind bars. But the punishment had to be served.“If you can't get me out of here soon, then you’ll be receiving my corpse inste

"Are you okay, sweetheart? Shofia didn’t hurt you, did she?" William asked worriedly, concerned about Laura after meeting Michelle’s mother."I’m fine. My mother wouldn’t dare hurt me in this house. You assigned so many guards," Laura replied, making William chuckle.Their phone conversation continued with warmth. William kept asking how his wife was doing. Laura had been home alone, accompanied only by bodyguards and assistants assigned to help her."Darling, is something bothering you?" William asked, sensing that Laura wasn’t her usual cheerful self. Was it because of her meeting with Shofia? he wondered. What did they talk about?"I don’t know, Will. I just feel scared right now. My mother—no, why should I call her that again?" Laura said bitterly."It’s okay. It’s a habit—it doesn’t change overnight. She’s been in your life all your life, hasn’t she? I know you don’t completely hate her yet," William said calmly.Laura fell silent. Maybe William was right. Did she truly hate Shof

“Mr. Beckett?” Samuel greeted.Samuel was momentarily surprised by Beckett’s sudden arrival at Anderson’s company. Fortunately, Samuel noticed him early enough to divert Beckett’s attention so he wouldn’t see Marko, who had just finished speaking with William.“I need to see William!” Beckett demanded.Beckett’s eyes followed a group of people escorting someone—someone who looked quite familiar, though he couldn’t quite place them.“That’s one of Mr. William’s business partners. He’s heavily guarded,” Samuel explained, knowing Beckett was curious. Marko was being escorted by his security team to the waiting car.Beckett nodded and followed Samuel to meet William in his office, no longer suspicious. Luckily, Beckett was easy to convince—or perhaps he didn’t realize that Marko might already know William.Beckett came to see William after hearing about Michelle’s deteriorating condition in prison. She had even attempted to take her own life. He also knew that Shofia had tried to talk to
