Florence shuddered. "The gynecology department? Win, w-what kind of illness do you have?"Jasmine cast Winter a cold, contemptuous glance. "What else could it be? I bet she caught some STDs from fooling around with some random man.""Winter, why would you even think of going to a place like that with him?" Joshua snapped, his brows furrowed tightly.Winter's face turned pale, and her eyes were bloodshot. Struggling against the pain, she tried to wrench herself free from Joshua's grip. "It's none of your business! Let go of me!" she shouted.Initially, Joshua had his doubts, but given everything, he was now nearly convinced. The anger in his eyes only deepened. With a scoff, he said, "You always find ways to catch me off guard. Do you really enjoy testing my limits?""Think whatever you want. It's none of my problem," Winter retorted. She no longer cared; her heart felt dead inside. In fact, she was searching for any excuse to sever ties with Joshua as quickly as possible.Joshua'

The moment Sheila stepped into the living room, she could feel the tension hanging in the air. Her mind raced. Something was definitely wrong."You're so hasty and thoughtless! Don't you know there are rules in this house?" Heather snapped, directing her frustration at Sheila."Sheila works for me! You have no right to scold her!" Florence retorted sharply. Clutching her chest, she glared daggers at Heather.Heather's face drained of color. She gritted her teeth, barely holding back her frustration."What's the matter, Sheila?" Despite her illness, Florence's authority remained as commanding as ever."Mrs. Stroud Senior, there's a visitor outside," Sheila replied, steadying herself."Who is it?""A gentleman in a suit. He said Iverson was his last name… I recall now, his full name is Elijah Iverson!"Everyone was completely blindsided by the unexpected visitor."Eli?" Winter gasped, her eyes widening. She could hardly believe her ears.Meanwhile, Evan couldn't help but admire

Winter's eyes widened, and a sharp pain gripped her chest."Joshua, don't listen to a word he says!" Heather burst out. "Lawyers are professional liars. They twist everything!"Joshua stepped closer, suspicion glinting in his upturned eyes. "Show me the proof."Jessica's jaw tightened, resentment boiling beneath her chest.Why did it feel to her as though Joshua still hadn't let go of Winter? Could he actually still have feelings for her?Elijah's expression darkened. "I'll show you the evidence. But first, you need to agree to divorce Win."Joshua's lips pressed into a hard line, uncertainty flickering across his face."You can clear her name," Elijah said evenly, "or you can cling to a marriage that's already fallen apart. The choice is yours.""Let's go, Eli. There's no point talking to him anymore," Winter whispered, suffocated by the tension. She tugged at Elijah's arm, but he didn't budge."Give me the evidence," Joshua finally said, his words cutting through the air lik

"I always thought that no matter how much you disliked Win, you would at least show her some basic respect. But now it's clear it was all just for my sake! You really are the model grandson of the Stroud family, aren't you?"Heather grew flustered as she watched Joshua being reprimanded in front of Elijah. "Florence, what's wrong with Joshua—""Shut up!" Florence interjected. "This isn't your place to speak!"Heather's face turned bright red. This might well be the most mortifying day of her life since marrying into the Stroud family."Joshua, I know exactly what you're thinking. You plan to use this opportunity to divorce Win and marry Ms. Lynch, don't you? I strongly advise you to abandon that idea immediately!" Florence snapped, holding Winter's frail body protectively in her arms.Her piercing eyes locked onto Joshua before drifting to Jessica's delicate features."Win rightfully deserves—and will forever retain—the honor of being called Mrs. Stroud."Ms. Lynch, no matter ho

Winter lowered her eyes and quietly walked away. Her expression was calm and distant.Downstairs, Jessica wept, confiding her sorrows to Joshua. "Josh, what did I do wrong? How could Mrs. Stroud Senior treat me like that?""Don't cry," he said gently. "Grandma was just upset and took it out on you. As she gets older, she can be set in her ways. You don't need to let it bother you."Jessica longed to bury herself against Joshua's chest. But at that moment, he nudged her shoulder gently, deliberately avoiding any direct contact. "Besides, I've always known exactly what kind of person you are. Nothing anyone else says could ever change that," he added.Under normal circumstances, Jessica would have smiled at his heartfelt words. But now, Joshua seemed distant. She froze, a flicker of frustration igniting in her teary eyes.He had never shown this side of himself. In the past, her subtle, ambiguous touches had always been welcomed. Still, it felt as if they weren't as close as before.
