When Stephanie took the call, Jonathan's hoarse voice rang out. "I saw the news, Ms. Ford."Stephanie raised a brow. "And? Are you calling to plead on Kiara's behalf?"That was the first thought that came to mind. After all, Kiara had once been involved with Jonathan."Why would I?" Jonathan exclaimed at once. "I just wanted to ask something… Was she really the one who orchestrated that car accident back then?""What do you think?" Stephanie shot back. "I'm not going to fabricate evidence just to frame her."Jonathan's breathing grew noticeably heavier."If that's all you had to ask, I've given you my answer. I'm ending this call now," Stephanie said."Wait, Ms. Ford!" Jonathan called out urgently. "I…""What else do you want?""I want to tell you… that I'm sorry."Jonathan felt like he had a thousand needles stabbing him in the heart.Kiara was the mastermind behind that car accident! She was the one who nearly killed Stephanie, the one who left her right leg crippled, unab

Afraid that Jonathan might lose control again, his subordinate quickly ushered him out. But even as he pulled Jonathan away, Jonathan's eyes remained locked on Kiara. His gaze was filled with anger and hatred.The intensity of those emotions made Kiara's heart pound in fear and ache terribly at the same time. After all, they'd been in a casual relationship before, and he could very well be the father of the child she'd lost.Yet he treated her like this because of Stephanie! Even when she'd already ended up in this state, he came to the detention center to try to choke her to death!Was Stephanie that important to Jonathan?Jonathan had clearly felt guilty toward her before, but now, he'd just done this to her!Kiara broke down completely, collapsing to the floor as she sobbed her heart out.At that moment, she suddenly thought of Norman. Among all the men in her life, he'd been the only one who genuinely loved her.But back then, she had insisted on divorcing him. She even lied

Once Stephanie agreed to dinner, Diane happily went home to start cooking.Stephanie and Adrian exchanged a smile.Once inside the house, Stephanie looked around at the familiar furnishings, and a wave of longing swept through her heart.The cleaners only made sure the house was tidy. They didn't move anything. Everything was in the same spot it had been back then.She remembered the smiling Daphne telling her, "When I was a little girl, I loved practicing my dancing in this part of the house. This is where I did my schoolwork, and when I was feeling lazy, I liked to hide in this corner and play with my toys…"Even after all these years, she could vividly recall Daphne's voice and expressions when she said those words.Suddenly, Stephanie found herself enveloped in a wide, warm embrace. She knew Adrian had noticed her sadness and was holding her to comfort her."It's okay. I'm fine," Stephanie said softly as she rubbed her eyes. "You know, at times like this, it's natural to fee

Bosco didn't dare raise his eyes, but he could feel it. Somehow, he sensed an icy gaze resting on him, sending chills down his spine.Diane went on, "After that, I gave Bosco a proper scolding for thinking about marriage at such a young age. Did he even ask if the girl wanted to marry him? Well, that finally shut him up!"Oh, by the way, he got married a couple of years ago. I even have a grandson now! But unfortunately, my daughter-in-law brought him back to her parents' place today, so you won't get to see him."Once Diane said that, Bosco felt the icy gaze seemingly disappear. He secretly exhaled in relief. This entire meal had been a nerve-wracking experience for him.Under the table, Stephanie couldn't help but give Adrian a soft kick. What was up with him, getting jealous over an insignificant remark that was made years ago?She could see how terrified Bosco got because of him.Adrian pretended not to notice and quietly served her another chicken wing.After the meal, Step

The cold headstone couldn't answer Stephanie's questions. She felt the familiar sting in her nose again, but she forced herself to hold her tears back."I can't cry anymore. I brought your future son-in-law to see you today. I wanted to have a proper talk with you, so I can't keep crying like this. Don't laugh at me for being such a crybaby."After dabbing her eyes with a tissue from Adrian, she continued, "Grandma and Dad are both in great health, so don't worry. They miss you a lot. And the company is doing really well. It's growing steadily. As for me…"She paused, feeling a bit shy. "I'm doing well too. I'm happy with Adrian. You don't need to worry about me, Mom."Adrian glanced at Stephanie with a smile before saying earnestly to Daphne's headstone, "Rest assured, Mrs. Ford. I will definitely stay by Stephanie's side and take good care of her. I'll cherish her and protect her for the rest of our lives."A soft breeze rustled through the cemetery again. Though it was always b
