Chris stood beside the towering five-meter-tall cake castle and spoke loudly, "Thank you all for attending my wife's birthday party. It is a tremendous honor for us as a couple."My wife and I have known each other since childhood. Growing up together, our bond has always been deep. After my accident left me disabled, she chose to marry me, giving up her own career to care for my daily life. In my heart, she will always be my little princess, deserving of my utmost care and protection."Turning toward Adriana, he said, "Adriana, please cut the birthday cake."Adriana took the knife but didn't immediately cut."Before we cut the cake, I'd like to say a few things to our old friends who have always cared about us."The moment she spoke, Edward suddenly appeared out of nowhere, rushing to Chris's legs and wrapping his small arms around him.Taking a deep breath, Adriana raised her voice and announced, "Yes, Chris has a son."The hall fell silent for a heartbeat, then erupted into a

"When I first met Adriana, I liked her immediately. She's generous, kind-hearted, and warm. Being able to recognize her as my goddaughter is truly my honor."As Cassandra spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.Joan felt as if the world had gone mad—this had to be a dream. She wanted to rush forward and drag Cassandra away, but her phone buzzed at that moment.Dean: [Calm down. Maintain your dignity.]Joan looked around in panic. The guests were all staring at her with strange, judgmental eyes. Even her own mother had said she caused trouble for Adriana. These people would only be more convinced she was the interloper.But why? Why would her mother do this? She was their only daughter! What good would tarnishing her reputation possibly do for them?"Recently, the Hill family business faced a crisis. Chris and Adriana generously helped us. I truly thank them," Cassandra said, dabbing at her unshed tears and bowing slightly toward Adriana. For everything Joan has done, I sincerely apol

The anger that had burned so fiercely just moments ago evaporated, leaving a bitter curve at the corner of Adriana's lips.Her emotions churned in a chaotic mix of grief and fury. She didn't wait for the elevator, vanishing instead into the stairwell, her pale face streaked with red marks.Once inside her car, she grabbed a trash bin and retched uncontrollably.Disgusting! Chris forcing himself on her—disgusting! Confessing to him that she loved Francesco—disgusting!Meanwhile, next door in the suite upstairs, Chris moved with deliberate calm, filling a kettle and steeping tea. A clear scratch marked the back of his hand."Please excuse my wife, Francesco. She can be rather willful at times. Besides indulging her, I have no other choice.""Your wife seems easy to please," Francesco replied, a smile on his lips that didn't reach his eyes, a trace of mockery in his tone.Chris ignored the dig and poured a cup of tea for him."She doesn't demand much of me. I suppose that's what m

When Alfred left, his steps were unsteady. This batch of products was crucial to the survival of the factories below—if anything went wrong, the Hill Group would be plunged into an even deeper crisis.Cassandra watched her husband's hasty retreat, suddenly clutching her chest and gasping for air."Mrs. Higgins, I… I feel so dizzy! Bring me my medicine, quickly!"…After leaving her parents' house, Joan drove aimlessly through streets lit with neon lights.Chris had not only refused to divorce Adriana but had publicly declared he would never marry her. Even her own parents had stood by Adriana's side.All her careful schemes had yielded nothing; instead, she was steadily losing ground.The frustration tightened around her heart like a constricting rope, each twist squeezing deeper.Only when the night had grown late did she drive back to the Slater residence. By now, Edward should have been asleep. Without her, the boy wouldn't settle down on his own.Sure enough, the moment sh

Alex let out a long, ragged sigh. Ever since he had confessed the truth to Adriana, this was the first time he felt genuinely unburdened."Chris still needs someone to keep an eye on him. I came in a rush—I'll go back first to grab some daily necessities and a change of clothes," Adriana said.Looking at Chris's condition, he'd have to stay in the hospital for a while. With the kidney transplant looming, Adriana wouldn't be able to leave either.She didn't love Chris—she even resented him—but she wasn't cruel enough to abandon him entirely.Alex nodded. "Don't worry. I've got it covered."No sooner had Adriana started the car than Bella called."Chris, the batch of products from the Hill Group has suffered a serious quality failure. Not only will they have to pay compensation, but they're also liable for huge breach-of-contract fees to their partners," Bella said, his voice over the line carrying a hint of schadenfreude."Any news from the raw materials suppliers?"Adriana had
