A crescent moon hung in the sky, and a heavy thud echoed from the Fang family's villa. In a corner, Evelyn Bert, with two braids tied up on her head and dressed in rustic clothes, clutched a comical carrot-shaped pillow, drool hanging from her mouth as she gazed blankly at the scene before her."You fool, what are you looking at? I get even more annoyed just seeing you!" Melissa Bert, out of breath after smashing an antique vase worth half a million, was even angrier upon seeing her."Little ancestor, what are you doing? How could you just smash such an expensive vase?" Rita Clare, who had just returned home laden with shopping bags, winced at the sight of the shattered vase.Seeing her, Melissa Bert no longer dared to throw a tantrum. She rushed into her mother's arms, sobbing uncontrollably, "Mom, please talk to Dad. I don't want to marry into the Huo family. Orville Quiller is a cripple... Waaah..."Rita Clare, who had been seething with anger, suddenly calmed down. She patted h

Orville Quiller's temple veins bulged, and he could no longer bear it, pushing her away from his embrace. "Shameless."Evelyn Bert let out a startled cry and fell onto the large bed, sprawling on her back in an utterly undignified manner.Witnessing her lack of decorum, Orville Quiller's eyebrows twitched. Just as he was about to scold her, Evelyn Bert, after a moment of stunned silence, burst into tears, wailing at the top of her lungs, "Waa... There's a bad person, Aunt Clare, there's a bad person!"Tears streamed down her eyes like water from a broken faucet. She scrambled to her feet and dashed for the door, even a commoner would have noticed something was amiss.Orville Quiller, ever perceptive, caught the hem of her dress with swift precision when he heard her cries, "Stop!"His sudden pull caused Evelyn Bert, who had been charging forward, to stumble. A tearing sound was heard, and a piece of white lace from her gown was ripped off. Her petite frame was already struggling t

Orville Quiller remained silent."President, you've always had a keen eye. What's your take on this?" Dennis Walkley took a few steps forward, then retreated."You've already tested her; don't do it again," Orville Quiller said succinctly.Dennis Walkley realized that Orville Quiller also thought Evelyn Bert was a fool."I understand."Dennis Walkley nodded in agreement and decided to find a chance later to apologize to Evelyn Bert.Evelyn Bert was dragged into the bathroom and given a thorough wash. By the time she dried her hair and changed into clean clothes, Dennis Walkley was nowhere to be seen in the living room."Miss Fang, do you want to eat some fried dough sticks? If you do, I can make them for you," Aunt Lu asked, unsure if she still remembered the matter.Evelyn Bert shook her head. "I don't want fried dough sticks. I want to eat small cakes.""Alright, I'll make them for you."Aunt Lu didn't bother to question why she had changed her mind so quickly. She rolled u

Since Orville Quiller's accident, it has been Madam Quiller who single-handedly kept the Huo family afloat. Not only did she have to search far and wide for renowned doctors to treat her son's leg, but she also had to look for her husband, who had been missing for five years. On top of that, the burden of managing the Huo family's company fell entirely on her shoulders.Zhou, the butler who had always taken care of her, saw all this and, seeing the unmistakable fatigue on her face, couldn't help but advise, "Madam, you've been pushing yourself too hard recently. Since there's nothing urgent today, why don't you take some time to rest?"Hearing this, Madam Quiller looked up and covered her eyes, letting out a light laugh. "Old Zhou, do you think I still have the luxury of resting?"Zhou was at a loss for words. "Then, Madam, perhaps you could take a brief nap here. I'll wake you in half an hour."Madam Quiller gave a faint "Mm."At the Fang residence,Seeing Rita Clare return, Mel

Orville Quiller was puzzled by her gaze, put down the book, and asked in a deep voice, "What do you want to do?"He had originally thought that Evelyn Bert was just acting on a whim, but her next words instantly shattered his inner peace. "Yingying wants to go out and look at the stars. Will big brother come with me?" "Let Aunt Lu accompany you." Hearing the word 'legs', Orville Quiller's expression changed for a moment, but it quickly disappeared. Evelyn Bert, however, suddenly said crisply, "Liar! Your legs are perfectly fine; you just don't want to go with me! Hmph!" Before Orville Quiller could respond, she abruptly pulled the blanket off his legs. Her fair, slender fingers poked around his legs, and she rambled on, "See, your legs are perfectly fine, they just lack strength. You just don't want to go stargazing with me, hmph!"Those random pokes were not just pokes; as a renowned ghost doctor in the medical world, she was quickly checking the condition of Orville Quiller
