A bleak chill hung in the ward, the dead silence after the argument amplifying every thumping heartbeat, including Julian's. He stood motionless before Vanessa, like a silent, towering mountain, casting a long shadow over everyone. The oppressive aura emanating from him stole Vanessa's breath. Her life was already hard enough; she'd finally found some stability with Cameron, and now Julian was here to shatter it all. It was no wonder she felt like she was on the verge of collapsing.“Vanessa, I had no idea about your origins. Is it truly fair to lay all this blame on me?”Julian was trying to reason with her. It was a joke.A faint, bitter curve touched Vanessa's lips. “Even if I didn’t blame you, what difference would it make? I’m getting married. What’s the point of you clinging on like this?”Cameron was still behind her. He was already frail and still dazed from the punch. He pushed himself up and moved behind Vanessa, wanting to stand by her, but then a sudden, crushing realizati

In a misty rain, Vanessa got into a taxi, and after a long deliberation, finally made that call.For three years since she left, Julian had been staring at her number, hesitating to call her. He never imagined that one day she would call him first. When he picked up, he took a deep breath, feigning indifference, "Who is this?""It's me."Vanessa understood everything but chose to reveal nothing. She was a woman walking step by step into an abyss; she shouldn't drag Cameron down with her. "I need to talk to you about something.""But I'm busy."How many times had he sought her out, begged to see her, only to be turned away at every door? Now that he finally had a chance to gain leverage over Vanessa, he naturally wouldn't give in so easily."Then forget it."He could use tactics to control Vanessa, but Vanessa played psychological games. In that regard, Julian had to admit defeat. "I can make ten minutes for you.""You pick a place, let's meet.""What about?" Julian tried every way to

Having tracked down Lily's abduction by Cameron's subordinates, Adrian wasted no time heading to the corporation and, without knocking, strode directly into the office.Perry was inside, currently giving a report. Both Cameron and Perry were visibly taken aback by Adrian's sudden appearance.Cameron's surprise quickly morphed into anger. "What do you think you're doing? Don't you know how to knock?""Dad, where did you take Cameron's daughter?" Adrian didn't care that Perry was still present. This was urgent, no time for delay. Vanessa was dealing with Julian, Cameron was searching the world for her, and he had to do something.Cameron was his father, yet right now, he was allied with Julian.The moment Adrian's words left his mouth, Cameron's face became incredibly strained. He frowned deeply, shot a glance at Perry, and ordered, "You, out."Perry nodded, not a single additional emotion showing on his face. He brushed past Adrian and exited the office.Cameron was Vanessa's current f

Driving Vanessa to this point wasn't what Julian wanted. Seeing her bloodless face, Julian's heart truly ached. The tenderness he felt was once again forced into a cold, hard shell. "Sign it. Tomorrow, we'll get our marriage certificate. Once it's legally recognized, I'll inform Uncle Cameron and have Lily released."So it was Cameron.Vanessa remembered Cameron's heartless demeanor and the resolute way he abandoned her for profit. She couldn't help but smile bitterly. How could he even be considered her father? "Julian, you partnering with him makes me look down on you.""I don't need your respect."Julian stood up and walked over, pressing the pen into Vanessa's palm. "Sign it quickly. It's getting late. You'll rest here tonight. Anyway, we'll be living together from now on.""You want to marry me? Why should I live here? Did Stacey live here?"Her words stumped Julian. "If not here, then wherever you want to live, I can arrange it." As long as Vanessa agreed to marry, where she liv

It happened so suddenly that Vanessa didn't even have time to change her dirty clothes when she was taken into custody. A large, messy patch of blood covered her jacket, and her face was also smeared with grime.Cameron wanted to see her, but could only gaze from behind a window, far away. He couldn't touch her, couldn't reach her, and his words of concern couldn't possibly reach Vanessa's ears.Adrian arrived after Cameron, his face equally etched with worry. "Thankfully, Julian's life wasn't at risk. Otherwise, she'd truly be spending the rest of her life in prison.""Why would Vanessa suddenly try to kill Julian?" Cameron furrowed his brow, desperate to see her. But with intentional assault involved, he couldn't see Vanessa. No one could. Not unless Julian came forward and agreed to a settlement."What do you mean, 'suddenly'?" Adrian retorted. "Julian wanted Vanessa to marry him, and he had my father take Lily as leverage." Adrian regretted it, regretting why he hadn't spoken up m
