Lincoln looked up at Elaine and their daughters beside her. He was momentarily caught off guard when he saw that even his second daughter, Celine, had returned from abroad.Elaine took a deep breath and approached Lincoln, one step at a time. "Darling, Gideon is your own flesh and blood, your only son, and the rightful head of the Prescott Group."Ever since he took over as CEO, he's worked himself to exhaustion and devoted so much to this company. As his father, how can you bear to force him to step down at the most difficult moment of his life?"You're not just breaking your son's heart. You're breaking the hearts of all four of us, his mother and sisters!"And let me make one thing clear. I will never agree to divorce you. If you keep pushing Gideon and me, I'll hold a press conference and let the public judge for themselves!"With her three daughters and son at her side, Elaine finally found the courage to stand up to Lincoln."You... All of you!" Lincoln pointed at Elaine, h

"Right, funding is the biggest problem right now, but—"Before Gideon could finish, Celine, who had stood quietly beside Elaine until now, suddenly spoke up. "As for the funding problem, I can ask my husband about it. Just a few days ago, I heard that his boss was looking for a suitable domestic project to invest in. I can have Leonardo look into it."Elaine's eyes lit up. "Really? If Leonardo can secure an investment for Giddy, that would be wonderful!"Celine, hurry! Call Leonardo right away! See if there's anything to this!"Your father has clearly had a change of heart. At a time like this, you all need to help Gideon. No matter what, we cannot let that vixen get her way! Otherwise, we're all finished!"Celine nodded, took out her phone, and stepped aside to call her husband.…In a private room at a high-end hospital, Walter lay unconscious in bed, his face pale.The accident had left him seriously injured. He had suffered three broken ribs, a broken right leg, and some in

Lucille blinked, then she smiled teasingly. "You're the second-best brother in the whole world!"William's voice came through, steady but laced with humor. "Otto's been trying so hard for so long, and he's still just a 'brother'?"Something about that remark made Lucille's heart skip a beat. A flicker of embarrassment swept over her. "If not brother, then what?"Otto smiled without answering. He shrugged at the camera and replied with a meaningful look, "A good soup needs to simmer slowly over low heat. The longer it takes, the better it tastes. No rush."William laughed on the other end. "Just don't let it simmer too long. Overcook it, and it'll turn to mush."Lucille caught the double meaning behind their words, and her heartbeat quickened. "What are you two even talking about? I can't follow any of it.""I'm just reminding a certain someone to pick up the pace before the cooked duck flies away and leaves him with nothing but regret."Otto pressed his lips together. "Understoo

If someone was willing to drag so many innocent people into their quest for revenge, they had to be truly vicious and ruthless.Otto was about to comfort Lucille with a pat on the shoulder when her phone rang. It was Sven."Lucy, I looked into the driver who caused the accident. He's not a local. He's a drifter with no fixed address, no steady job, and nothing we can use to trace him. He bought the truck from a secondhand dealer just days ago. The vehicle was practically ready for the scrapyard," he reported.Lucille's voice sharpened. "So he bought that truck specifically to cause this accident?""Exactly!" Sven answered with certainty. "There's no doubt this accident was deliberate, not a coincidence. But we don't have enough evidence to prove it, and the police have already ruled it an accident."Lucille's expression darkened. "Can you find out if this man has any connection to Rayne or Michelle?""No, I couldn't find any connection. But I did uncover another lead...""What i

Sure enough, talking to someone sharp was never a struggle.Every time, Otto knew exactly what Lucille wanted to say or ask before she could even get the words out.Lucille felt a flush of embarrassment. "Yeah. How did you know?"Otto smirked. "Pregnancy is a serious matter, and whether anything actually happened between two people is something only they can know for certain. It's only natural that you'd have that question."Back then, I'd just returned home on leave from a work assignment. She made me dinner and slipped something into the food."I ate it without suspecting a thing. When I woke up, we were lying together... I knew right away she'd schemed against me again. I was furious, and at first, I had no intention of forgiving her. But not long afterward, she told me she was pregnant."The child was innocent in all this. I was shocked by the news, but strangely enough, I was also glad, since it was something my parents had long hoped for."That was when I began to wonder w

By now, Lucille no longer held anything back in front of Otto. She spoke her mind freely and openly. "If Rayne really did summon some drug lord from Southeast Bevia to help her, then we'll find a way to turn this opportunity to our advantage and help our country root out this cancer once and for all!"Those who commit enough evil will eventually bring about their own downfall. I believe that, in the end, the light of this world belongs to the righteous."She practically shouted those words, full of fierce energy, her small fists clenched and raised high, her bright eyes ablaze. She looked like a fearless heroine from legend, a woman who would never let any man outdo her.Otto watched her with obvious delight. He couldn't resist reaching out to give her an affectionate pat on the head. "Lucy, do you know what I admire most about you?"Lucille blinked in puzzlement. "What's that?"Otto spoke with genuine sincerity, his eyes bright with admiration. "Your resilience. You're like wild
