Chapter 22: Aunt EllaSeeing that Lilya had taken the initiative to greet me first, Ryan timidly followed behind. The boy looked at me with sparkling eyes and softly greeted me.“My name is Ryan. Nice to meet you.”Leo, standing beside them, frowned slightly but said nothing. I knew he was somewhat dissatisfied that the two children greeted me in such a “brief” manner.The reason they greeted me so bluntly was because neither of them knew how to address me.In front of Leo, both children tried to behave well and not trouble him, so they didn’t dare to address me casually.Seeing Lilya and Ryan so well-behaved like this was quite different from the mischievous image I remembered.I took out two carefully wrapped gifts from my handbag and placed them into their hands.“These are meeting gifts. Just a small token, so please don’t dislike them.”The two children held the gifts and looked at me with hesitation. At that moment, Leo crouched down beside them, gently patted their heads, and s

Chapter 24: ArroganceThe two children were sitting there eating cake when they heard Ann’s words and immediately turned to stare at her.I could clearly see the anger in their eyes.Perhaps Ann thought Lilya and Ryan were just ignorant children who couldn’t understand what she had just said. But children have their own sharp instincts, let alone Lilya and Ryan, who were both very intelligent.Just by looking at her expression and that smug smile, they already knew she was mocking them.Before I could even speak, Lilya put down the cake in her hand and fired back at Ann with a sharp gaze and tone.“My father taught me that smart people speak pleasantly, and if you want to talk to others, you should greet them properly first. Who exactly are you, ma’am, to be so rude? Or were you not raised properly by your parents?”Both Ann and I stared at Lilya in shock. Although I already knew she had a strong personality and had inherited all of Leo’s outstanding traits, including his arrogance, t

Chapter 26: Seducing Her Brother-in-LawAnn’s words just now did not only surprise me, they also left Julian stunned. Then his hand seemed as if it had been burned, and he quickly flung it away from me, his gaze fixed tightly toward the direction the voice came from.I stood beside him with my arms crossed, watching the expressions on Julian’s face grow increasingly unpleasant.What happened at the dinner party at his house last time, Ann had completely ignored Julian to approach Leo. I wondered how she had explained that situation for Julian to believe her so completely.Thinking about it, I was truly a bit curious. Everyone said the son of the Bennett family had outstanding looks, great capability, and was extremely intelligent.Yet that talented and intelligent man could not even realize that he himself was just a backup?On the contrary, I was very curious to see what expression Julian would have when he realized he had been abandoned and betrayed by Ann.Ann’s voice sounded again

Chapter 28: Lina FoxyUnlike Ann, who was the type of young lady who only knew how to rely on a bit of her family’s wealth and power to show off, Lina Foxy was a true lady with high education and a distinct personality.Lina Foxy came from the prestigious Foxy family, a family with a long history and influence no less than the Dominic family. The only difference was that while the Dominic family was an economic empire, the Foxy family was the cradle of great politicians.Most of the pure-blood members of the Foxy family were trained and nurtured to become outstanding politicians.Thanks to their close relationship, the Dominic family stood behind them, providing financial support to help the Foxy family secure important positions in the political system.Of course, financial support was only a small part. Everyone had to admit that the Foxy bloodline was truly exceptional in politics. The one who reached the highest position in the family was the one who sat in the position of Vice Pr

Chapter 30: A Love Like a Fairy TaleFinn Muller continued to look at me with a harmless smile, but his eyes seemed to be observing my every movement.I knew that if I revealed even the slightest flaw, he would immediately grasp the truth about our marriage.Finn smiled and spoke as if asking for my opinion.“I’m afraid you might feel uncomfortable with me bringing up Bianca. But I think it would be better if you knew more about her and their past. What do you think?”Lina, sitting beside me, did not voice any objection, so I remained silent, showing that I did not oppose it either.Seeing that, Finn continued telling Bianca’s story.“They met at an award ceremony sponsored by the Dominic family. Bianca and Leo fell in love at first sight. Not long after, Bianca gave up her career, decided to retire, and married into the Dominic family.”At this point, Finn glanced at me again and smiled in an unreadable way.“That truly was a romantic and admirable love story, wasn’t it?”I knew he w
