Amid sharp, screeching curses, they swung whatever they held and hurled it toward Isolde.The extremists moved with alarming speed.Isolde frowned and prepared to dodge at once.In that instant, someone rushed in from the side even faster. He pulled her hard into his arms and turned his back to her, shielding her from everything thrown their way.A series of dull impacts rang out. The stench of raw eggs mixed with the metallic scent of blood.Isolde looked up in shock. She saw Alan's face, pale and strained, with a fresh streak of blood sliding down his cheek.Pain tightened his brows, and his already sickly complexion looked even more drawn. Still, he lowered his head to check on her, eyes full of anxious concern. "Isolde, are you alright? Did it scare you?"What an "affectionate" scene it must have appeared to be. For her sake, he had not even cared about his own safety. He looked deeply concerned, almost devoted, yet this was the same man capable of hurting her to the bone.

"If you end up ruined and disgraced, your grandfather will probably never consider letting you inherit anything. From that point on, the entire family legacy will belong to Bruce, 100%."Bruce did not just marry Isolde. Now he is about to take the entire family as well. He gained everything with ease, while you stand to lose everything. Are you truly willing to accept that?"You have fought him openly and in secret for more than ten years, only to hand him the victory today?"The words struck Alan's deepest, most sensitive wound with ruthless precision.For over a decade, he had competed with Bruce, pouring his effort into expanding the Princeton Group and strengthening its influence. His ultimate goal had always been to win the family's succession battle.At this final step, the price had become unbearably heavy, but…"I promised Isolde that I would handle this properly. I will not let her suffer even a little more." He shrugged on his coat, his gaze firm, and strode out."Sin…

"This became a knot in Isolde's heart, one she could never untie. Sandra was pregnant, and she truly felt both envy and sincere blessings. She took care of her as best she could. But in the end, she was still human."Day after day, facing someone else's child, in the quiet of the night she could not help feeling sad and lost. I have seen her more than once, awake in the middle of the night, quietly wiping away her tears."I could not bear to watch her live in that struggle and pain forever. I wanted to give my fiancee complete happiness and joy, not endless sorrow. So I made Sandra leave."I know that by doing this, I am betraying my deceased brother and betraying my nephew. But for Isolde, I am willing to be the sinner."It's my cross to bear. All the blame should fall on me. I do not regret it. If you are angry, direct it at me. Do not let innocent Isolde suffer more. She has already endured enough."The reporters were stunned into silence by Alan's words. No one had expected th

"I'll find a way to calm this storm as soon as possible. When it's over… I'll arrange for someone to send you back to Southbridge," Alan said.A flicker of disappointment crossed Sandra's pale face, but she nodded with resolve. "Alright."He added, "But since I'm living here now, Isolde might misunderstand. You should explain it to her. Once the rumors are cleared, she'll understand where your heart truly lies. Maybe she'll forgive you."With every word, Alan's guilt deepened, and his urge to protect her grew stronger. "If you need anything, just tell me. As long as it's within my power, I'll take care of you and the baby."Before leaving to look for Isolde, Alan inspected the villa's security once more to ensure nothing had been overlooked.After his car vanished from sight, the softness on Sandra's face dissolved. Cold, venomous malice took its place.She cast a brief glance at Helen, who stood nearby with her hands at her sides, and silently mouthed, "Do it."Helen understood

Just then, the doorbell rang.Bruce was not home. Isolde was alone and too lazy to cook, so she had ordered takeout.She assumed the delivery had arrived. She hurried over and opened the door, only to find Alan standing there.He held an elegant food container. "Isolde, takeout isn't healthy. I swapped it for a five-star hotel meal. All your favorites. Cajun chicken, BBQ ribs…"He talked as he forced his way inside and laid the dishes out neatly on the dining table.Disgust surged through Isolde. "You're not welcome here. Get out.""Isolde…" Alan looked at her with deep, patient affection. "You watched the press conference, right? Can't you feel my sincerity?"Isolde sneered. "Oh? Then tell me. Has anything been cleared up? Are people done cursing me online?"Alan had already seen Helen's news on the way over. He lowered his voice. "Don't worry. I'll handle Helen. I'll go ask her about it right away."As he spoke, his gaze fell on the documents on the table.He skimmed the fi
