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

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

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

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

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
