Chapter 791

When Madeline returned to the room, Hector was still smoking inside.The air was thick with smoke, which only made her mood worse."Smoke, smoke, smoke. That's all you do all day. Talia still hasn't gotten the divorce, and you're not worried at all. Don't you even care?"Upon hearing that, Hector quickly stubbed the half-burned cigarette into the ashtray. He turned to her, confusion written all over his face. "What? She still hasn't divorced Christian?"Madeline sat on the edge of the bed and let out a long sigh. "She hasn't. It's been so long already. I don't know if Christian refuses to sign, or if they still haven't settled the terms. It's driving me crazy."Hector stood up and started toward the door while saying urgently, "I'll ask Talia right now."Madeline reached out and grabbed his arm. "If you go now, you'll only make things more stressful for her."Hector grew anxious. "What am I supposed to do, then?"Madeline stayed silent for a long time before finally making up h

Chapter 792

Back at the Stewart residence, Madeline had actually treated Yvonne quite well, even though the food she made always looked a little unhygienic.Seeing the two elders, Yvonne instinctively called out, "Grandpa, Grandma."Her voice was soft. There wasn't much excitement in it. Her tone was calm and steady.The moment Madeline and Hector saw her, they couldn't help but soften."Oh, Yvonne, you're back from school?"Madeline instinctively stepped forward, wanting to give Yvonne a hug.But after a moment's thought, she held herself back.When Yvonne saw Madeline walking toward her, she quietly moved behind Christian.Christian took her hand and lowered his head to speak to her. "Emma made your favorite dishes. Come on, let's go inside."Yvonne's eyes lit up immediately. "Really?"He nodded. "Yeah. Let's go."Holding her hand, he walked straight into Jubilee Manor, completely ignoring Madeline and Hector.As Yvonne passed them, she couldn't help turning around to look back. Seei

Chapter 793

Christian stood under the orange glow of the streetlight, his expression twisted and frightening.Hector and Madeline both looked at him at the same time, shock and confusion written all over their faces.If he could be this harsh to them, it was easy to imagine how much Talia must have suffered over the past few years.Even after seeing Christian's attitude, Hector still held on to the belief that doing what was best for Talia was the right thing to do. He wanted to ask when Christian would finally agree to the divorce.But before he could say anything, Christian beat him to it with a low, angry shout. "I said, take the money and get lost."The words Hector wanted to say got stuck in his throat.Madeline couldn't take it anymore. She grabbed Hector's hand and said, "Let's go. There's no point in asking anymore."But just as Christian turned around, Madeline suddenly spotted Garrett.He broke into a jog toward them, his long strides carrying a chilling intensity. His face was m

Talia glanced at the phone and noticed Madeline calling.She gestured to Paige, then answered.As soon as the call connected, Madeline's choked voice came through. "Talia… Garrett… Garrett's in trouble. He's been arrested."Talia's expression changed instantly at those words. "Mom, slow down. What happened?"Madeline replied, "Garrett hit Christian. Christian called the police, and they arrested Garrett."After hearing this, Talia froze. For a moment, it felt like her mind had stopped working.After a long pause, she finally said, "Mom, I got it. Paige and I will come right now."The moment she hung up, Paige asked, "Talia, what happened?"Talia replied, "Garrett hit Christian. He's already been arrested.""What?" Paige was shocked as well.Talia lifted the blanket to get out of bed. Paige supported her and helped her into a wheelchair.After leaving the Stewart residence, Paige drove, and the two of them headed straight for the police station.When they arrived, Talia didn

Chapter 795

Back at the Stewart residence, the family sat in the living room, but no one spoke.The heavy silence stretched on.After what felt like an eternity, Paige finally forced a smile and said, "Hector, Madeline, it's late. Why don't you go upstairs and rest?"Madeline wanted to apologize, but felt like it wouldn't change anything. So, in the end, she simply sighed. "Alright."With that, she nudged Hector and said, "Come on. Let's head upstairs."Talia sat in her wheelchair, and Paige tucked a blanket around her legs.Despite Garrett still being at the police station, Paige was looking after Talia with unwavering attention.Talia admired and respected Paige deeply, so she felt just as bad about what happened that night. However, she couldn't think of a solution at the moment.After Madeline and Hector went upstairs, Paige turned to Talia. "Talia, let me take you upstairs to rest."Talia noticed Paige's eyes were slightly red, and her heart filled with concern. "Paige, don't worry s

Chapter 796

Normally, Christian was either busy with business dinners, drinking with Julian and William, or working in his study. But that night, for the first time in ages, he was sitting there, watching TV.Having lived at Jubilee Manor for so many years, Talia knew perfectly well that from where Christian sat, he only had to turn his head to see the entire garden outside.It was clear that he had seen her struggling with the wheelchair outside, but he acted as though he hadn't noticed.Even so, Talia didn't feel anything anymore. After all these years, she should have long figured out what kind of person Christian really was.Once she entered the living room, she said, "Christian, we need to talk."Christian didn't even bother to turn around, only asking, "What do you want to talk about?""You know what it is," she replied.Only then did he turn toward her. His expression dripped with disdain. "Oh? Then say it. Let me hear what you have to say."Knowing he was deliberately making things

Chapter 797

After Emma pushed Talia out of the gates of Jubilee Manor, she released her grip on the wheelchair."Mrs. Lane, I'll leave you here. I need to head back," Emma said.Her gaze was filled with reluctance and guilt, but there was nothing more she could do. With a heavy heart, she turned and started walking back.Once back at Jubilee Manor, she slowly reached out to close the gate.Talia glanced back at Emma and saw the helpless expression on her face. The latter said in a hoarse voice, "Mrs. Lane, this is Mr. Lane's decision. There's nothing I can do."Talia understood that Emma was just doing her duty, and she didn't want to make things harder for her. She gave her a faint smile, then said in a low voice, "Emma, please pass along a message for me."Emma didn't fully close the gate. She watched Talia in her wheelchair, the orange glow washing over her face.At that moment, her figure appeared so desolate and lonely.Emma's heart ached, but all she could do was stand by helplessly.

Chapter 798

Dressed in a sleek black overcoat, Quentin stood by the side of the road, his coat draped casually over his arm. His tall frame and striking features gave him such a commanding presence that it was impossible to look away.Talia looked at him, and he looked at her.They watched each other in silence, neither of them speaking.But as time passed, Talia started to feel self-conscious under Quentin's gaze. Her face flushed with embarrassment. In an attempt to hide her discomfort, she turned her head away.But no matter how she tried to conceal it, Quentin could see right through her.Finally, Quentin walked over to her and draped his coat over her shoulders. Looking down at her, his unfathomable eyes locked onto hers. "Are you happy now? Seeing yourself reduced to this?"Talia didn't dare meet his gaze, yet his words somehow made her heart ache even more. Tears began to fall, but she stubbornly fought to stifle the sound of her sobs.Seeing her so upset, Quentin couldn't bring hims

Chapter 799

Christian had no idea how he had fallen asleep. When he opened his eyes, the world outside his window was still shrouded in darkness.Memories from before he drifted off flooded his mind, and he wondered about Talia. Was she still outside?He picked up his phone and glanced at the time. It was already past 1:00 am.He sat up in bed and made his way to the floor-to-ceiling window. As his eyes scanned the street below, he saw no sign of Talia.Christian stood there, staring blankly for a long while. A sense of unease began to stir in his chest, though what weighed on him more was the frustration.He continued to scan the area outside the window, searching for her. When he realized that she had left, he lit a cigarette. It wasn't until the floor was littered with a few cigarette butts that he couldn't stay in the room any longer.Once downstairs, he shouted for Emma, completely indifferent to whether she was already asleep. "Emma!"After a few calls, Emma woke up with a start. She

Chapter 800

Talia felt deeply guilty. She lowered her head, struggling to find the right words.The longer she stayed silent, the angrier Paige became. "You know Christian's not a good man, yet you still went to see him. What was the point? He's still not willing to let Garrett go. Honestly, I'd rather Garrett be detained than see you begging and pleading with Christian!"Paige's face was dark with anger.Madeline, with red-rimmed eyes, spoke softly. "Talia, Paige is right. Christian is no good. Begging him only makes him feel empowered.""Yeah. Why risk going to him alone? What if something had happened? What are we supposed to do then?" Hector also chimed in.Talia understood that they were worried for her, but she also couldn't shake the overwhelming guilt.It was because of her that Garrett was in this mess. Her tears fell without her permission. "I'm sorry."Seeing her cry, Paige choked back the scolding that was on the tip of her tongue.She wrapped her arms around Talia and softly s
