Chapter 71: An Unexpected Invitation

The car showroom was bright, polished, and overly quiet.Rows of expensive vehicles stood under soft lighting, each one shining as if it was waiting to be chosen.Kelsey stood with her arms folded, staring at two cars in front of her.Ruby stood beside her, already excited."This one," Ruby said immediately, pointing at a sleek, eye-catching black car. "This is the one."Kelsey shook her head without hesitation."No."Ruby frowned. "What do you mean no? Look at it. It screams success.""It also screams money," Kelsey replied calmly.Ruby rolled her eyes. "Yes. That's the point."Kelsey turned slightly toward the other car. It was simpler, elegant, and less flashy."I prefer this one," she said. "It's enough. No need for excess."Ruby blinked at her."Enough? Kelsey, you're not a student anymore. You run a plantation, you have contracts, you are literally building your own empire, and you want to drive something 'enough'?"Kelsey sighed softly. "I don't like wasting money.""It's not w

Chapter 72: A Surprise She Never Expected

The car slowly rolled to a stop in front of a large residence.Kelsey looked out through the window. Her brows furrowed even more in confusion. The place didn't look like a company. It wasn't a restaurant either.The property was quiet and elegant, surrounded by neatly trimmed hedges and tall trees."Why are we here?" she asked Dimitri, making no attempt to leave the car.Dimitri unfastened his seatbelt."You'll find out soon."Kelsey didn't like the answer. Throughout the ride, Dimitri had been quiet, which wasn't how she knew him to be. They used to make a little small talk, but today he was giving off a cold vibe."What do you mean?"Dimitri smiled faintly. "It means exactly what I said."Kelsey's eyes narrowed. She could tell the smile was forced, which made her heart feel uneasy. She wondered what could be wrong."You're being suspicious," she said as she unfastened her own seatbelt.They both got out of the car.Kelsey felt no fear as she followed him. She had a strong feeling t

Chapter 73: A shoulder to Lean On

The ocean stretched endlessly before them.The waves rolled toward the shore one after another, their rhythmic sound filling the silence between them.Kelsey sat quietly on the wooden bench. Her hands rested on her lap.Beside her, Dimitri sat unusually still.The sea breeze brushed against Kelsey's face.She lowered her eyes.Ever since they left Doctor Harrison's residence, her emotions had been a mess.She kept replaying everything in her head. The possibility that her father might finally receive treatment from someone who actually understood his condition and was known for it made her chest ache.A tear escaped before she could stop it, and she quickly wiped it away, pretending that nothing had happened.A few seconds later, another followed.She lowered her head even more and wiped it away.She didn't want Dimitri to notice.But Dimitri had already noticed.Of course he had.His eyes shifted toward her."You know," he finally said. His voice was quieter than usual. "I didn't bri

Chapter 74: The Return

Some hours later...Before Kelsey realized it, it was already evening, and they were ready to leave for the family mansion.She reluctantly left the room only to see Ramon waiting for her right outside."I was wondering what was keeping you," Ramon said softly.His eyes moved from her face to her dress and then to her shoes. His gaze dimmed slightly."You aren't wearing the one I picked out for you."Didn't she see it? he asked himself.But the answer came immediately.He was sure she had seen it. He had left the box on the table where he used to keep things for her in the past.So it could only mean one thing.She simply didn't want to wear it.His chest tightened for a second.He had specifically picked a dress for her from one of their latest fashion releases. He had been certain it would look good on her.Not that the one she was wearing didn't suit her."You look beautiful," he said, brushing aside his disappointment.But he got no reaction from her.Instead, Kelsey stretched out

Chapter 75: The Storm Begins

As they walked toward the entrance, Kelsey could hear faint voices coming from inside.She took a deep breath and smiled at Kendrick, who was tugging on her hand excitedly.The moment they entered the living room, the voices stopped instantly.All eyes turned toward her.Kelsey's gaze moved across their faces.She saw the different expressions flashing in their eyes.Wanda's eyes widened in shock.Venus looked disgusted.Collins shifted uncomfortably in his seat, probably still embarrassed by what Kelsey had said to him about her father the last time.As for Doris, her expression was complicated."Grandma!" Kendrick's voice broke the tense atmosphere. He slipped his hand from Kelsey's and ran toward Doris. "Daddy told me you were sick, but you're well now.""My little Ken."Doris immediately opened her arms for him."Be careful. Mum isn't that strong yet." Wanda's worried voice rang out, but she didn't dare touch Kendrick.Kelsey rolled her eyes inwardly.She couldn't stand Wanda's fak

Chapter 76: Crippled Wings

"At least I'm not a mistress to a married man."The words entered Venus's ears like a bolt of lightning.Her entire body froze.The anger on her face disappeared instantly. Her pupils contracted.For a long moment, she simply stared at Kelsey.Unable to move, speak or even breathe.The living room fell strangely silent.Doris and Wanda frowned in confusion.Neither of them had heard what Kelsey said. All they saw was Venus suddenly freeze in place.Kelsey watched her calmly. A faint smile tugged at the corner of her lips.So she was right.Venus had never expected her secret to be discovered."What's wrong?" Kelsey asked softly. Only Venus could hear her. "Surprised?"Venus's lips parted slightly, but no words came out. Her face had already gone pale.Kelsey took another step closer.The smile on her face widened."Who would have thought?" she whispered. "The almighty Venus Holloway."Kelsey's eyes slowly traveled over her."The woman who always looked down on me and called me shamel

Chapter 77: Cracks in the Wall

"Nothing?"Venus's quick answer made Ramon's brows furrow even deeper.He looked at her tightly clenched hands at her sides before turning to his mother."We did nothing to her," Doris said, clearly displeased by her son's suspicion of them.Ramon remained quiet for a few seconds."I really hope it's nothing." His voice dropped slightly. "Remember what I told you, Mum."After saying that, he turned around and walked away toward where Kelsey had gone.Silence filled the room.Wanda, who had been quiet the entire time, suddenly stood up.She hurried toward Venus."What did she say to you?" She asked through clenched teeth.Kelsey's presence had shaken her badly. She had thought Kelsey was gone for good.But here she was again.And even worse, she might ruin the plan she had carefully prepared.Her father and she had planned everything for today. Knowing Ramon would be at the family mansion, they had arranged everything in advance.But now Kelsey was here.Wanda shook her head.She didn'

Chapter 78: The Glass of Wine

Soon, it was time for dinner. The servants quickly arranged the dishes on the long dining table. One after another, everyone took their seats. The atmosphere was strangely quiet. No one spoke much. Only the sound of plates and cutlery could be heard. Kelsey sat beside Kendrick. It was the same chair Wanda used to sit in, helping Kendrick with his meal while Kelsey sat at the far end of the table. Ramon didn't usually have dinner with the family, but tonight, he naturally took the seat beside Kelsey. At the head of the table sat Collins, while Doris sat beside him. Across from them sat Venus, Wanda, and Andrew. The table was filled with expensive dishes. Normally, Wanda would have tried her best to liven up the atmosphere. But tonight, she couldn't. Her eyes kept moving between Ramon and Kelsey. The two of them weren't talking. Yet somehow, their silence irritated her even more. Kelsey picked up some vegetables and placed them on Kendrick's plate. "Eat

Chapter 79: The Glass of Truth

The moment Ramon finished speaking, the dining room became even quieter.The maid stood beside him, gripping the tray with trembling hands."W-What do you mean?" Wanda stammered as she quietly wiped her sweaty palms against her dress beneath the table.Andrew slowly put down his fork."Is the wine different?" he asked with a puzzled smile. "Why do you want Wanda to drink yours?"He chuckled lightly before adding,"You really like taking care of Wanda if you're willing to let her drink from your glass." He adjusted his eyeglasses immediately. "But you shouldn't. Your wife is here, and she might think otherwise."He laughed as though he had made a harmless joke.No one else laughed.Instead, the atmosphere became even heavier."My wife wouldn't think otherwise because there is nothing between me and your daughter." Ramon answered without the slightest hesitation.His voice was calm, but every word carried weight."I only want her to drink it because there is something in the wine."His

Chapter 80: Wanda's True Face

The moment the police officers stepped into the dining room, the atmosphere changed completely.Collins, Doris, Venus, and Kelsey immediately stood up, realizing that this wasn't as simple as they had thought.Andrew, who was still sitting, adjusted his glasses in confusion."Who are they?""You called the police?" Wanda burst out, standing up so suddenly that her chair scraped loudly against the floor. She had never expected Ramon to involve the police. "What did I do to you?""What?" Andrew stood up as well, his face full of shock. "The police?"Ramon didn't answer either of them.He simply looked at the officers and said calmly,"Take them away."The maid's face instantly turned as white as paper.She trembled violently on the floor."Ramon..." Collins frowned deeply. "You can't do this without telling us what's going on."Ramon remained calm."I already reported what I suspected before coming back to the dining room." His eyes fell on the maid. "I wanted to give you a chance to te
