Chapter 271 A Truth Too Obvious to Miss

When it came to matters like this, Thaddeus held absolute authority. He recognized it at a glance."Sorry?"But Stefan and Cynthia were completely stunned. 'What energy drug? Why are they reacting like this?'They quickly composed themselves. "Is this medicine… that rare?""Rare?" Thaddeus almost scoffed, his voice rising with excitement. "It's far more than rare! For people our age, it's practically a miracle!"He went on to explain its effects—boosting vitality and improving overall condition were only the basics. Its true value lay elsewhere. Once taken, the body would become highly resistant to illness."And that's not all," he continued, his tone growing even more intense. "It can even slow down aging. Someone in their fifties could look like they're in their thirties. It's another way of extending one's life!""I…"After hearing Thaddeus explain its effects, Stefan and Cynthia were so shocked they couldn't even speak. It was their first time encountering a pill with suc

Chapter 272 The Vault of Absolute Security

Originally, they hadn't planned on taking the energy drug, but after Thaddeus' reminder, Stefan and Cynthia couldn't wait a second longer. They immediately picked them up, ready to swallow them. Even if they didn't take them themselves, Hazel would steal them sooner or later and hand them over to Zeke. They already couldn't stand the sight of him—there was no way they would let him get what he wanted.Thaddeus' body trembled slightly in response as another thought struck him—the life-saving drug. 'If the energy drug could save Zeke, then the life-saving drug could too… This time, I absolutely can't let Roxanne steal it. I need to keep a close eye on it…'Very quickly, Stefan and Cynthia swallowed the pills. The effects spread almost instantly, and Thaddeus and Wendy stared at them without blinking.Right before their eyes, the two underwent a complete transformation. Not only did they look decades younger, with their skin turning smooth and delicate, but their entire bodies seem

Chapter 273 Hope, Lost in an Instant

When it finally sank in, Hazel let out a shocked cry. "My goodness… I'm not dreaming, am I? Mom, Dad, you really got younger! Your skin's even smoother than mine, and your hair… it's all black again…"If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she never would have believed it. Her parents had truly reversed their age. Her father looked striking and refined, her mother breathtakingly beautiful. Standing beside Hazel, they looked less like parents and more like siblings. And that wasn't just an exaggeration—it was the truth. No one would have guessed they were mother and daughter.Hazel stared, completely transfixed. She needed to know why.But neither Stefan nor Cynthia seemed eager to explain. Their reactions were cold, distant. Especially when Stefan thought about how the Leightons wanted to marry Roxanne off to Evan, irritation surged in his chest. On top of that, the energy drug could cure Zeke's illness. The thought alone made him want to needle his daughter."It's nothing,

Chapter 274 Family, Shattered Beyond Repair

"And did you ever think about it? There might be people in this world who need the energy drug more than you. You can't be so selfish!" Hazel still tried to phrase it as tactfully as she could.Stefan and Cynthia burst out laughing upon hearing that.'A daughter actually said something like that to her own parents? We gave birth to you. We raised you. And now, in your eyes, we're not even worthy of taking the energy drug? What a joke. And the medicine is ours—not something you obtained yourself. Talking about how someone else needs it more… Who is that someone else you're talking about? Isn't it Zeke? Do you think we can't tell?'"Get out!" Stefan slapped her across the face in fury. "I didn't raise you to turn out like this! Now get out of my sight!"He was heartbroken. To think that, in her eyes, her own parents weren't even as important as an outsider. If Cynthia hadn't held him back, Stefan might have beaten Hazel to death on the spot.Even Cynthia looked at Hazel with nothing

Chapter 275 Cut Off From Hope

Roxanne and Anya were both deeply shaken.Zeke's condition had always been difficult for one key reason—not because it was incurable, but because the right treatment was nearly impossible to obtain.High-tier medicine, like the life-saving drug, was completely out of their reach, while ordinary medicine did nothing. It left them stuck in an unbearable middle ground. And now, there was an energy drug that could actually cure Zeke."This is a good thing, isn't it?" Roxanne said with a smile. "Hazel, why do you still look so upset?""Exactly," Anya chimed in. "Just ask your parents where they got the energy drug."In their eyes, even though Stefan and Cynthia had already taken the pills, it at least proved one thing—the energy drug existed. And more importantly, it was something people in their social circle had a chance of obtaining.That alone was enough.As long as they could trace the source, they could follow the trail.But beside them, a flicker of displeasure flashed thro

Chapter 276 A Choice Between Blood and Love

"They must've done it on purpose—telling you about the energy drug, then deliberately taking it themselves. They already knew it could cure Zeke!""That's just cruel! Your divorce had nothing to do with Zeke, so why take it out on an innocent person?"Roxanne and Anya were both furious.Hazel stood there in shock, unable to accept it. Had her own parents really just stabbed her in the back?Those words hit Zeke even harder.His eyes narrowed, and the instability already lurking in his expression deepened. Veins stood out on his forehead as a murderous aura began to seep from him. Earlier, he had only considered acting against Hazel's parents. Now, he was ready to follow through.It was infuriating.They were pushing him toward death, so they couldn't blame him for what came next. A cornered man was capable of anything. He had already decided how he would deal with Stefan and Cynthia.'At this rate, Hazel… you might not have parents much longer. So, it really was deliberate. T

Chapter 277 Luring Roxanne into the Test

"What is it, Grandpa?""You'll find out when you get here," answered Thaddeus, a smile playing on his lips. Just as Stefan and Cynthia had tested Hazel, he intended to test Roxanne as well.Indeed, the three of them were very much alike in terms of personality, temperament, or way of dealing with people.Hazel had immediately thought of giving the energy drug to Zeke the moment she learned the Solbergs had it. So, what about Roxanne?The Leightons were curious to know how she would react if she knew they possessed the life-saving drug, which was even rarer and more precious.Would she think of stealing one, just like three years ago, especially after knowing that there were two?In truth, they all already knew the answer. As the saying went, old habits died hard. They were certain she would try again.At this point, they simply wanted to watch the most interesting part—Roxanne's reaction.The Leightons still harbored resentment toward Roxanne from back then, and this was thei

Chapter 278 She Intends to Steal Again

Roxanne looked surprised.With this in mind, the possibility of Evan's involvement was decreasing. Moreover, she was certain that her grandfather couldn't possibly lie to her.In other words, the Leightons really had the life-saving drug again.For a brief instant, shock, excitement, joy, and confusion surged through her all at once.Yet, she merely stared blankly ahead like she was in a daze.It was what happened when emotions reached their limit. Whether the news was good or bad, once it became overwhelming, the mind shut down into silence.As for the Leightons, they were extremely satisfied with Roxanne's reaction.Then, Thaddeus smiled and added, "And it's not one, but two.""What?"Roxanne was on the verge of losing her mind when she learned that there were two life-saving drugs. Her body even almost collapsed to the ground out of shock.'Two life-saving drugs? Do you know what that means?' she exclaimed inwardly. 'One alone is enough to elevate our family into the ranks

Chapter 279 Evan's Actual Birthday

In the end, Roxanne was still nothing more than a tool.If she hadn't already signed a marriage agreement with Evan, she would never have been given such a golden opportunity.Sadie even thought of having Wendy pursue Evan before finding out his identity. After all, she had always believed Wendy was better than Roxanne.But after learning how extraordinary Evan was, she knew Wendy stood no chance.As the Leightons knew that Wendy was definitely no match for other heiresses if they did it the normal way, they eventually concluded the safest way to tie Evan down was to have Roxanne marry him."Lucky her!" Wendy said bitterly."Next, it's up to Stefan to talk to Evan."Still not fully reassured, Thaddeus called Stefan again and asked him to pass along the message that Evan should come and marry Roxanne in three days."Yeah, yeah. We'll pass it on!"Stefan hung up the phone in irritation. However, he didn't call Evan to talk about the matter, for he and his wife knew Evan wouldn't

Chapter 280 Triple Assurance

"Alright. You two can handle my birthday however you like," Evan said with a smile.In the past, he had always gone out of his way to plan birthdays for Hazel, Roxanne, and Anya, racking his brain to make them happy in every possible way.Now, it was his turn to enjoy.Delighted, Evan screamed inwardly, 'Hell, yeah! I'll be celebrating my birthday on September 3rd, not April 28th! To hell with you, Zeke!'Sylvie and Estelle's eyes lit up with joy when they sensed his excitement. "Great! Leave it to us!"What they hadn't told Evan was that all the major forces in the city were already paying close attention to his birthday.Their plan was simple. Even if their daughters couldn't marry Evan, they still had to get close to him. And a birthday celebration was the most natural, formal occasion to do so.Setting aside whether their gift suited Evan's taste, at least they had made their attitude clear.Rumors had it that many families had started making preparations.Soon, word sprea
