Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it. And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. She just disappeared from his world completely. Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man. Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window. Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony." "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him. "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever. Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?" "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words. "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly. "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice." As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway? Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage. However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other. The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper. Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment. Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law. Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed. Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection. Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married. The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna. Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically. So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway! "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request." "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money! After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about. "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger. Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all! "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..." Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter. Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs! "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!" Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!" Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently. And then... Her stockings were ripped apart... The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her! "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain! Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel. He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him! Good! Very good! She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life. "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?" He finally called her name as he was on top of her. Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years. Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!" Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered! She was... beautiful! This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes. That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick. "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!" Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess. Two months later... In a hospital. "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!" Giving up? No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children! It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right... ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna Four years later. In the intensive-care unit of a hospital. "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!" Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!" Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days. Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed. He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%. In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group. Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government. So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days. However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world! No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced. "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!" Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little. Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured. She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end. Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl. "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!" "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered. And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter. "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!" "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..." Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?" A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?" Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question. Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene! Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it. And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either. It had been four years! Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them! She just disappeared from his world completely. "Joann... Joann!" "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..." The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed! They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated! Tap, tap, tap... From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels! Creak. The door of the ward was pushed open. The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more. She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few. "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?" "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed. "Joanna!" The others all gasped. She had changed so much. Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady! What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years! "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..." For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna. "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!" "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..." With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut! Beep! The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death! "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks. She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her! "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious. He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more! "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!" Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business." Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother! By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control. Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first." "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed." ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body. Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others. "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this. Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here." The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger. Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..." "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking. Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd. "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family." Bruce did not reply. During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him. The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family. Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life. "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying. "Mom, what are you talking about?" "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore." Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight." "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be. Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car... Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?" Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most. She had it all well-designed six years ago. First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything. After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance. Yet she did not expect that it would backfire. Bruce actually slept with Joanna. And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna. Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time" "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried. Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes. The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna. Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once. "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..." Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral. It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects. Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery. After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused. "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group." "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!" "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting." Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..." A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?" Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director." "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?" "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..." While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines. A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes. "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce. Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm. There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm. He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control. Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity. The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first. "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood. After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman. "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!" "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?" As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits. The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4. And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest. ----------------------------------------------------------- Due to the word limit, it can only be updated here!

Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else?

A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?" Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question. Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene! Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it. And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either. It had been four years! Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them! She just disappeared from his world completely. "Joann... Joann!" "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..." The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed! They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated! Tap, tap, tap... From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels! Creak. The door of the ward was pushed open. The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more. She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few. "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?" "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed. "Joanna!" The others all gasped. She had changed so much. Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady! What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years! "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..." For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna. "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!" "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..." With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut! Beep! The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death! "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks. She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her! "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious. He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more! "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!" Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business." Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother! By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control. Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first." "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed." ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body. Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others. "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this. Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here." The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger. Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..." "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking. Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd. "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family." Bruce did not reply. During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him. The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family. Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life. "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying. "Mom, what are you talking about?" "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore." Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight." "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be. Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car... Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?" Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most. She had it all well-designed six years ago. First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything. After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance. Yet she did not expect that it would backfire. Bruce actually slept with Joanna. And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna. Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time" "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried. Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes. The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna. Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once. "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..." Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral. It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects. Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery. After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused. "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group." "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!" "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting." Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..." A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?" Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director." "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?" "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..." While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines. A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes. "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce. Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm. There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm. He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control. Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity. The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first. "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood. After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman. "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!" "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?" As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits. The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4. And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest. ----------------------------------------------------------- Due to the word limit, it can only be updated here!

Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it. And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. She just disappeared from his world completely. Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man. Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window. Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony." "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him. "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever. Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?" "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words. "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly. "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice." As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway? Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage. However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other. The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper. Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment. Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law. Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed. Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection. Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married. The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna. Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically. So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway! "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request." "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money! After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about. "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger. Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all! "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..." Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter. Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs! "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!" Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!" Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently. And then... Her stockings were ripped apart... The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her! "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain! Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel. He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him! Good! Very good! She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life. "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?" He finally called her name as he was on top of her. Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years. Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!" Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered! She was... beautiful! This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes. That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick. "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!" Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess. Two months later... In a hospital. "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!" Giving up? No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children! It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right... ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna Four years later. In the intensive-care unit of a hospital. "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!" Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!" Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days. Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed. He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%. In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group. Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government. So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days. However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world! No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced. "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!" Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little. Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured. She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end. Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl. "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!" "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered. And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter. "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!" "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..." Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?" A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?" Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question. Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene! Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it. And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either. It had been four years! Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them! She just disappeared from his world completely. "Joann... Joann!" "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..." The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed! They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated! Tap, tap, tap... From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels! Creak. The door of the ward was pushed open. The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more. She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few. "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?" "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed. "Joanna!" The others all gasped. She had changed so much. Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady! What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years! "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..." For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna. "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!" "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..." With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut! Beep! The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death! "Grandpa?

Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!" Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business." Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother! By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control. Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first." "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed." ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body. Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others. "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this. Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here." The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger. Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us?

Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..." A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?" Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director." "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?" "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..." While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines. A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes. "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce. Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm. There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm. He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control. Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity. The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first. "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood. After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman. "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!" "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?" As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits. The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4. And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest. ----------------------------------------------------------- Due to the word limit, it can only be updated here!

But this time, they didn't ask for money but for you." The CEO's usually composed face darkened with a mix of anger. This was the first time in his life that he had been threatened. But on the other side the three kids laughed. "Just teach him a lesson for bullying mommy!"😈😈😈 ------------------- ##Chapter 1 Do Not Touch My Children​ Bang!​ A crisp noise reverberated through the Gibson residence.​ Charles Gibson trembled and pointed at Melanie Gibson, who was standing on the side. "You horrible girl! Why did I bring such an immoral daughter like you into the world? You've humiliated the Gibson family!"​ Melanie stood aside with an indifferent expression that was neither humble nor overbearing. "I didn't. Mildred framed me. It was her..."​ Smack!​ "How dare you blame it on Milly? You are the one who did something shameful!" Before Melanie could finish her words, Charles slapped her with all his strength.​ Melanie staggered a few steps before she steadied herself.​ Looking up, Melanie glanced at Charles and asked, "Did you hit my mom like this too?"​ "Shut up! Don't mention her!" Charles replied agitatedly as his emotions riled up once more.​ Melanie held her face and smiled. "Charles Gibson, you didn't believe in my mom back then. Now, you don't believe me either. I wonder why my mom would fall in love with a jerrrrk like you."​ "How dare you talk back to me?"​ "It's a tragedy for her to fall in love with a jerrrrk like you!"​ Charles' eyes were bloodshot from fury. "Go. Bring me my whip."​ Standing on the side, Melanie's stepmom, Joanna Gibson, advised insincerely, "Don't be angry, Charles. It isn't worth getting agitated and harming your health over her."​ Mildred Gibson smiled as she added fuel to the fire. "It doesn't matter if you hit Melanie. But getting angry is harmful to your health. You have to take care of yourself."​ Then, she turned to Melanie and said, "Melanie, how can you do such a shameful thing? Apologize to Dad now."​ Charles became even more frustrated upon hearing Mildred's words. He was livid, thinking of the tension in the company that day. As a result, Charles vented all of his anger on Melanie. "Go get my whip. If anyone dares to say another word, I'll hit that person too."​ "Hubby, please don't hit her..." Joanna pretended to be hesitant.​ Charles roared indifferently, "Go!"​ Joanna brought the whip over reluctantly and pleaded with Charles pretentiously when she handed it to him.​ Charles ignored her and landed one whip after another on Melanie with all his strength.​ Soon, Melanie's clothes were ripped apart from the lashes, and spine-chilling marks appeared on her skin.​ Joanna and Mildred observed the whole process on the side with smug smiles.​ "You're a disgrace, a horrible daughter. I'll end you today!" Charles raised his whip again and hit Melanie.​ It hurt a lot.​ Even so, Melanie stood with her back straight and raised her head proudly. Her eyes were cold and ruthless. "You'd better end me today."​ Her aura was frosty, giving off a feeling as if one had plunged into an icy river.​ Joanna and Mildred looked at each other, for Melanie's behavior and words terrified them.​ Charles was even more shocked. The way Melanie carried herself proudly bore a striking resemblance to her dead mother.​ He whipped her hard again.​ The whippings left many bloody gashes on Melanie's fair skin. Even though it hurt, Melanie didn't moan or yelp even once in pain.​ Her hatred and forbearing expression made Charles shudder as he threw the whip aside.​ His anger dissipated slightly as he pointed at Melanie. "For the sake of your dead mother, I'll spare you this time. However, I will no longer acknowledge that you're my daughter! Scram!"​ The whip lashes cut deep into Melanie's flesh, and the pain made Melanie's face and lips pale.​ However, her eyes were still fierce. She struggled to get up from the ground as she coldly swept her gaze over everyone present and sneered coldly. "Fine. From today onward, I will cut ties with you, Charles Gibson. I'll never step into the Gibson residence ever again!"​ With that, she left the Gibson residence determinedly.​ Intense fury burned within Charles, causing him to slump onto the couch.​ Even Joanna and Mildred felt a little uneasy at Melanie's statements.​ The mother-daughter duo stared at each other with a mean look. They thought, "We've been waiting for this day for so long. Melanie, we will end you!"​ Melanie wrapped her arms around her shoulders, walking on the road pathetically.​ When she was ten, her mother died of a serious illness.​ On the same day, her father married his mistress and brought her home.​ Mildred was only one year younger than Melanie. Obviously, Charles had cheated on Melanie's mother when she was pregnant.​ From the moment they showed up in Melanie's life, Joanna and Mildred had pretended to be nice to her on the surface while constantly plotting against her behind her back.​ Just yesterday, Melanie received the acceptance letter from Druobridge University of Design.​ Mildred handed the greeting card written by Melanie's fiancé, Alexander Larson, to Melanie and told her that Alexander had prepared a surprise for her at Druobridge International Hotel.​ On top of that, Melanie also received a text message from Alexander.​ Hence, she didn't suspect something was amiss when she arrived at the room Mildred informed her about.​ In the end, Alexander was not present in the room—it was someone else.​ When Melanie was about to leave, she suddenly felt weak and powerless. That was when she knew she had been set up.​ Melanie laughed self-deprecatingly. Even now, she still had no idea who the man was and what he looked like.​ Melanie mused, "I feel sorry for Alexander; I've betrayed him."​ While Melanie was blaming herself, a car suddenly charged at her from behind and hit her.​ The shrill sound of screeching brakes pierced through the sky.​ "Ah! Someone has been hit by a car! Save her!"​ Ten months had passed. Melanie leaned against the hospital bed with her huge belly in a ward at Druobridge International Hospital. She looked at her pregnant belly gently, stroking it softly.​ Eight months ago, Melanie discovered that she was pregnant.​ The doctor said she was carrying quintuplets, which was very rare. Although Melanie didn't know the identity of her children's dad, she decided to take care of her babies to the best she could. The more her babies grew, the more dangerous her situation was.​ She was admitted to Druobridge International Hospital as early as the previous month to facilitate the delivery.​ Now, Melanie was waiting to deliver her babies safely.​ Melanie's smile deepened at the thought of seeing her little darlings soon.​ Just then, the door to her ward was opened suddenly.​ Melanie's eyes turned frosty when she saw Mildred. "Mildred? Who allowed you to come in? Get out of here."​ She wondered, "How did she find out I'm here?"​ Melanie had a bad feeling.​ Mildred was unbothered by Melanie's reaction. She walked over to the hospital bed arrogantly with a victorious smile. "Oh, my dear Melanie. Please don't get angry. It has been difficult to locate you, but I'm here today and have great news for you."​ Delighted by Melanie's anger, Mildred whispered to the latter mockingly, "Dad has transferred all the shares under your name to me. Now I'm the eldest daughter of the Gibson family. I get to enjoy all the wealth and power. Don't you think that's great news?"​ Then, Mildred stopped and looked at Melanie. "The circumstances are different for you, though. Not only did you spend the night with an unknown man, but you're also pregnant with his kids. Tsk! Tsk! You pitiful girl."​ Melanie's eyes were cold. Those words did not affect her mood and mentality at all. "Are you done? You can leave if you are done talking."​ "Hmph!" Mildred snorted. Then, she threatened disdainfully, "You're not the eldest daughter of the Gibson family anymore, so put that act aside. Now, I'm the one in charge! By the way, I think I should inform you about something so that you can die in peace..."​ Mildred leaned forward against Melanie's ear deliberately and said in a low voice that could only be heard by both of them, "Alexander and I planned that day's event to snatch your inheritance away from you."​ This sentence successfully broke through Melanie's psychological defense.​ Seeing Melanie's expression of disbelief, Mildred felt immensely satisfied.​ "Oh, I have another important thing to do today." As she spoke, she looked at Melanie's stomach in an eerie way.​ Melanie panicked as she moved forward to grab Mildred's hands firmly. "What are you doing? Don't lay your hands on my children! I won't let you go if you dare to hurt them!"​ Mildred didn't dodge. She jeered sarcastically, "Hmph! Just you? If it's you against me, I don't think you stand a chance."​ After saying that, Mildred stood up, looking at Melanie's pale face before pushing her to the ground viciously.​ Melanie felt her vision go black as she fell on the bed and passed out.​ ​ ​ ##Chapter 2 Three Kids​ Five years later, a beautiful and confident woman was browsing through a document in Starlight Group. The woman was none other than Melanie.​ Her temperament was different from that of five years ago. Besides being confident and charming, she had an otherworldly sense of calmness. It was as if she was an ethereal fairy who was removed from the hustle and bustle of the common world.​ What happened five years ago did give Melanie a big blow, but she didn't fall into despair. Instead, it pushed her toward the path of becoming a designer.​ She studied and worked in a design company for the past few years to earn money.​ Three years ago, she even founded Starlight Group with her accumulated savings.​ Starlight Group was mainly engaged in design work. After continuous growth, it had grown into a top-ranking enterprise in the design field of Druobridge with an undeniable reputation and an absolute right to speak.​ However, only Melanie knew how much she had to endure day and night when she started the company.​ Melanie took a sip of coffee while reading through the file. The mellow and bitter taste of the coffee spread in her mouth.​ "Bad news, Boss!" Sabrina Lynch, Melanie's assistant, ran into the room in a panic, completely forgetting about knocking on the door first.​ Melanie put down the document in her hand and looked at Sabrina with a lifted brow. She didn't look as anxious as Sabrina did. "What's wrong?"​ Sabrina gulped slightly before replying, "The CEO of Laeger Group is here!"​ Melanie was stunned. "Calvin Laeger? What is he doing here?"​ Calvin Laeger was the head of Laeger Group. He was cruel, arrogant, and fierce with extraordinary capabilities. Laeger Group was similarly huge and mysterious, with strong financial power.​ Melanie was confused. There was no collaboration between the two companies, so she couldn't understand why Calvin showed up.​ Sabrina shook her head. "I don't know. Calvin said he must meet you today."​ Although Melanie was astonished, she nodded. "Invite him in."​ Calvin arrived at her office with his assistant while Melanie was still feeling bewildered.​ Calvin was slender and had charming features. There was an aloof look in his eyes. He pursed his lips, making him unreadable to others while he radiated a daunting vibe.​ Melanie had known that Calvin was handsome and capable with an imposing presence, but she still couldn't help but take a deep breath when she saw him because his aura was somewhat similar to her family members.​ Calvin was stunned too when he saw Melanie.​ Melanie had an enchanting and curvy figure. She was very gorgeous with her long, flowing hair, and tanned skin that captivated others' eyes.​ However, if one looked closer, one would realize Melanie was elegant and noble. Her unique temperament hinted to others that she was not someone they could fool around with.​ What was more, the scent of roses in the office seemed somewhat familiar to Calvin.​ After a while, Calvin spoke first. "Ms. Gibson, I assume there's no bad blood between us, right?"​ "Bad blood?" Calvin's remark befuddled Melanie, but she replied politely with a faint smile, "Please be straightforward, Mr. Laeger."​ Calvin narrowed his eyes. He sized up the confused woman before him who seemed genuinely clueless. "Are you unaware of what's happening, Ms. Gibson?"​ His expression turned frosty. "Someone from your company hacked into the firewall of Laeger Group's finance department and stole 1.2 million dollars from my account. The amount of money is not worth mentioning, but this incident infuriates me."​ Calvin was indeed angry. Laeger Group was a respectable company with an authoritative presence in the business world. But now, it was ridiculous that someone had hacked their firewall without a trace. After all, the people in Laeger Group were all top-notch experts, making Calvin wonder who the excellent hacker was.​ Melanie was dumbfounded. She was sure she hadn't sent anyone to do such a thing, so she asked, "Mr. Laeger, why are you so sure that one of my people was behind it?"​ Calvin threw a stack of files onto the table. "The IP address was traced back to your place."​ Melanie felt her brain buzzing and instantly understood what was going on.​ She felt overwhelmed and frustrated. All she could think about was she was going to teach her kids a good lesson upon going home.​ But still, Melanie replied calmly, "Starlight Group and Laeger Group have never had any grudges against each other. It's my first time meeting you, Mr. Laeger. Besides, I don't care about doing such a thing! As you've said, the 1.2 million dollars is worthless—it's basically the price of a handbag to me, so I don't think it's worth mentioning either. But since someone has implicated me, I'll investigate this matter as soon as possible and provide you with an explanation."​ "Very well. Ms. Gibson, I hope you can provide me with a satisfactory explanation."​ Melanie nodded. "Of course."​ Calvin glanced at her. "One reminder, though, Ms. Gibson. It's not a good thing to attract my attention with this method."​ Melanie couldn't help but roll her eyes inwardly.​ She smiled courteously. "Don't worry. I'm not interested in a big shot like you, Mr. Laeger. As per today's discussion, I'll look into this matter as soon as possible and provide you with a satisfactory result."​ Then, Melanie gestured for Calvin to leave.​ She thought, "Show yourself out!"​ It was the first time Calvin had been treated coldly. After all, there were people at his beck and call wherever he went.​ Now, he was ordered to leave by a woman.​ He mused, "Okay. I'm going to keep this in mind."​ Calvin gave Melanie a warning stare before turning around and leaving with his assistant, Christopher Yates.​ As they walked away, he instructed Christopher, "Keep an eye on her."​ Christopher nodded. "All right."​ After Calvin left, Melanie immediately got up. "Sabrina, I'll go home first. If any problem arises, please inform me in time."​ "Okay, Boss."​ Melanie didn't want to delay for another moment. She immediately returned to her mansion in Southville.​ The three little ones were sitting on the couch when she entered the house.​ The three of them dressed up like each other and looked incredibly handsome at a young age. They were reading their books in a well-behaved manner.​ Mildred sold Melanie's five children to different human traffickers right after Melanie gave birth all those years ago.​ Melanie had no idea how she had wronged Mildred to make the latter hate her so much.​ Separating her from her children in that way was even worse than death.​ Melanie spent a lot of money buying out the nurse who worked for Mildred to obtain clues on her children's whereabouts.​ Fortunately, those who trafficked her kids were doing it for money.​ Melanie could track them down and bring back her kids if she spent the right amount of money.​ However, two of her children remained missing because she had no clue where they had gone.​ She had never stopped looking for them in the past five years, but it was all to no avail.​ The little ones surrounded Melanie immediately when they noticed she had returned. They smiled, greeting her sweetly, "Mommy!"​ Her kids looked innocent and harmless, making Melanie's anger dissipate slightly.​ However, Melanie said sternly, "You three, stand up straight. I have questions to ask, and you three better answer me honestly."​ This was the first time Melanie had spoken to her kids so sternly.​ The three little ones remained calm, answering in unison, "We will answer your questions truthfully, Mommy!"​ Melanie's eldest, Micah, asked first, "What's going on, Mommy?"​ Melanie put on a serious expression. "It's about Laeger Group..."​ "We didn't do it!" The three little ones spoke in unison.

But this time, they didn't ask for money but for you." The CEO's usually composed face darkened with a mix of anger. This was the first time in his life that he had been threatened. But on the other side the three kids laughed. "Just teach him a lesson for bullying mommy!"😈😈😈 ------------------- ##Chapter 1 Do Not Touch My Children​ Bang!​ A crisp noise reverberated through the Gibson residence.​ Charles Gibson trembled and pointed at Melanie Gibson, who was standing on the side. "You horrible girl! Why did I bring such an immoral daughter like you into the world? You've humiliated the Gibson family!"​ Melanie stood aside with an indifferent expression that was neither humble nor overbearing. "I didn't. Mildred framed me. It was her..."​ Smack!​ "How dare you blame it on Milly? You are the one who did something shameful!" Before Melanie could finish her words, Charles slapped her with all his strength.​ Melanie staggered a few steps before she steadied herself.​ Looking up, Melanie glanced at Charles and asked, "Did you hit my mom like this too?"​ "Shut up! Don't mention her!" Charles replied agitatedly as his emotions riled up once more.​ Melanie held her face and smiled. "Charles Gibson, you didn't believe in my mom back then. Now, you don't believe me either. I wonder why my mom would fall in love with a jerrrrk like you."​ "How dare you talk back to me?"​ "It's a tragedy for her to fall in love with a jerrrrk like you!"​ Charles' eyes were bloodshot from fury. "Go. Bring me my whip."​ Standing on the side, Melanie's stepmom, Joanna Gibson, advised insincerely, "Don't be angry, Charles. It isn't worth getting agitated and harming your health over her."​ Mildred Gibson smiled as she added fuel to the fire. "It doesn't matter if you hit Melanie. But getting angry is harmful to your health. You have to take care of yourself."​ Then, she turned to Melanie and said, "Melanie, how can you do such a shameful thing? Apologize to Dad now."​ Charles became even more frustrated upon hearing Mildred's words. He was livid, thinking of the tension in the company that day. As a result, Charles vented all of his anger on Melanie. "Go get my whip. If anyone dares to say another word, I'll hit that person too."​ "Hubby, please don't hit her..." Joanna pretended to be hesitant.​ Charles roared indifferently, "Go!"​ Joanna brought the whip over reluctantly and pleaded with Charles pretentiously when she handed it to him.​ Charles ignored her and landed one whip after another on Melanie with all his strength.​ Soon, Melanie's clothes were ripped apart from the lashes, and spine-chilling marks appeared on her skin.​ Joanna and Mildred observed the whole process on the side with smug smiles.​ "You're a disgrace, a horrible daughter. I'll end you today!" Charles raised his whip again and hit Melanie.​ It hurt a lot.​ Even so, Melanie stood with her back straight and raised her head proudly. Her eyes were cold and ruthless. "You'd better end me today."​ Her aura was frosty, giving off a feeling as if one had plunged into an icy river.​ Joanna and Mildred looked at each other, for Melanie's behavior and words terrified them.​ Charles was even more shocked. The way Melanie carried herself proudly bore a striking resemblance to her dead mother.​ He whipped her hard again.​ The whippings left many bloody gashes on Melanie's fair skin. Even though it hurt, Melanie didn't moan or yelp even once in pain.​ Her hatred and forbearing expression made Charles shudder as he threw the whip aside.​ His anger dissipated slightly as he pointed at Melanie. "For the sake of your dead mother, I'll spare you this time. However, I will no longer acknowledge that you're my daughter! Scram!"​ The whip lashes cut deep into Melanie's flesh, and the pain made Melanie's face and lips pale.​ However, her eyes were still fierce. She struggled to get up from the ground as she coldly swept her gaze over everyone present and sneered coldly. "Fine. From today onward, I will cut ties with you, Charles Gibson. I'll never step into the Gibson residence ever again!"​ With that, she left the Gibson residence determinedly.​ Intense fury burned within Charles, causing him to slump onto the couch.​ Even Joanna and Mildred felt a little uneasy at Melanie's statements.​ The mother-daughter duo stared at each other with a mean look. They thought, "We've been waiting for this day for so long. Melanie, we will end you!"​ Melanie wrapped her arms around her shoulders, walking on the road pathetically.​ When she was ten, her mother died of a serious illness.​ On the same day, her father married his mistress and brought her home.​ Mildred was only one year younger than Melanie. Obviously, Charles had cheated on Melanie's mother when she was pregnant.​ From the moment they showed up in Melanie's life, Joanna and Mildred had pretended to be nice to her on the surface while constantly plotting against her behind her back.​ Just yesterday, Melanie received the acceptance letter from Druobridge University of Design.​ Mildred handed the greeting card written by Melanie's fiancé, Alexander Larson, to Melanie and told her that Alexander had prepared a surprise for her at Druobridge International Hotel.​ On top of that, Melanie also received a text message from Alexander.​ Hence, she didn't suspect something was amiss when she arrived at the room Mildred informed her about.​ In the end, Alexander was not present in the room—it was someone else.​ When Melanie was about to leave, she suddenly felt weak and powerless. That was when she knew she had been set up.​ Melanie laughed self-deprecatingly. Even now, she still had no idea who the man was and what he looked like.​ Melanie mused, "I feel sorry for Alexander; I've betrayed him."​ While Melanie was blaming herself, a car suddenly charged at her from behind and hit her.​ The shrill sound of screeching brakes pierced through the sky.​ "Ah! Someone has been hit by a car! Save her!"​ Ten months had passed. Melanie leaned against the hospital bed with her huge belly in a ward at Druobridge International Hospital. She looked at her pregnant belly gently, stroking it softly.​ Eight months ago, Melanie discovered that she was pregnant.​ The doctor said she was carrying quintuplets, which was very rare. Although Melanie didn't know the identity of her children's dad, she decided to take care of her babies to the best she could. The more her babies grew, the more dangerous her situation was.​ She was admitted to Druobridge International Hospital as early as the previous month to facilitate the delivery.​ Now, Melanie was waiting to deliver her babies safely.​ Melanie's smile deepened at the thought of seeing her little darlings soon.​ Just then, the door to her ward was opened suddenly.​ Melanie's eyes turned frosty when she saw Mildred. "Mildred? Who allowed you to come in? Get out of here."​ She wondered, "How did she find out I'm here?"​ Melanie had a bad feeling.​ Mildred was unbothered by Melanie's reaction. She walked over to the hospital bed arrogantly with a victorious smile. "Oh, my dear Melanie. Please don't get angry. It has been difficult to locate you, but I'm here today and have great news for you."​ Delighted by Melanie's anger, Mildred whispered to the latter mockingly, "Dad has transferred all the shares under your name to me. Now I'm the eldest daughter of the Gibson family. I get to enjoy all the wealth and power. Don't you think that's great news?"​ Then, Mildred stopped and looked at Melanie. "The circumstances are different for you, though. Not only did you spend the night with an unknown man, but you're also pregnant with his kids. Tsk! Tsk! You pitiful girl."​ Melanie's eyes were cold. Those words did not affect her mood and mentality at all. "Are you done? You can leave if you are done talking."​ "Hmph!" Mildred snorted. Then, she threatened disdainfully, "You're not the eldest daughter of the Gibson family anymore, so put that act aside. Now, I'm the one in charge! By the way, I think I should inform you about something so that you can die in peace..."​ Mildred leaned forward against Melanie's ear deliberately and said in a low voice that could only be heard by both of them, "Alexander and I planned that day's event to snatch your inheritance away from you."​ This sentence successfully broke through Melanie's psychological defense.​ Seeing Melanie's expression of disbelief, Mildred felt immensely satisfied.​ "Oh, I have another important thing to do today." As she spoke, she looked at Melanie's stomach in an eerie way.​ Melanie panicked as she moved forward to grab Mildred's hands firmly. "What are you doing? Don't lay your hands on my children! I won't let you go if you dare to hurt them!"​ Mildred didn't dodge. She jeered sarcastically, "Hmph! Just you? If it's you against me, I don't think you stand a chance."​ After saying that, Mildred stood up, looking at Melanie's pale face before pushing her to the ground viciously.​ Melanie felt her vision go black as she fell on the bed and passed out.​ ​ ​ ##Chapter 2 Three Kids​ Five years later, a beautiful and confident woman was browsing through a document in Starlight Group. The woman was none other than Melanie.​ Her temperament was different from that of five years ago. Besides being confident and charming, she had an otherworldly sense of calmness. It was as if she was an ethereal fairy who was removed from the hustle and bustle of the common world.​ What happened five years ago did give Melanie a big blow, but she didn't fall into despair. Instead, it pushed her toward the path of becoming a designer.​ She studied and worked in a design company for the past few years to earn money.​ Three years ago, she even founded Starlight Group with her accumulated savings.​ Starlight Group was mainly engaged in design work. After continuous growth, it had grown into a top-ranking enterprise in the design field of Druobridge with an undeniable reputation and an absolute right to speak.​ However, only Melanie knew how much she had to endure day and night when she started the company.​ Melanie took a sip of coffee while reading through the file. The mellow and bitter taste of the coffee spread in her mouth.​ "Bad news, Boss!" Sabrina Lynch, Melanie's assistant, ran into the room in a panic, completely forgetting about knocking on the door first.​ Melanie put down the document in her hand and looked at Sabrina with a lifted brow. She didn't look as anxious as Sabrina did. "What's wrong?"​ Sabrina gulped slightly before replying, "The CEO of Laeger Group is here!"​ Melanie was stunned. "Calvin Laeger? What is he doing here?"​ Calvin Laeger was the head of Laeger Group. He was cruel, arrogant, and fierce with extraordinary capabilities. Laeger Group was similarly huge and mysterious, with strong financial power.​ Melanie was confused. There was no collaboration between the two companies, so she couldn't understand why Calvin showed up.​ Sabrina shook her head. "I don't know. Calvin said he must meet you today."​ Although Melanie was astonished, she nodded. "Invite him in."​ Calvin arrived at her office with his assistant while Melanie was still feeling bewildered.​ Calvin was slender and had charming features. There was an aloof look in his eyes. He pursed his lips, making him unreadable to others while he radiated a daunting vibe.​ Melanie had known that Calvin was handsome and capable with an imposing presence, but she still couldn't help but take a deep breath when she saw him because his aura was somewhat similar to her family members.​ Calvin was stunned too when he saw Melanie.​ Melanie had an enchanting and curvy figure. She was very gorgeous with her long, flowing hair, and tanned skin that captivated others' eyes.​ However, if one looked closer, one would realize Melanie was elegant and noble. Her unique temperament hinted to others that she was not someone they could fool around with.​ What was more, the scent of roses in the office seemed somewhat familiar to Calvin.​ After a while, Calvin spoke first. "Ms. Gibson, I assume there's no bad blood between us, right?"​ "Bad blood?" Calvin's remark befuddled Melanie, but she replied politely with a faint smile, "Please be straightforward, Mr. Laeger."​ Calvin narrowed his eyes. He sized up the confused woman before him who seemed genuinely clueless. "Are you unaware of what's happening, Ms. Gibson?"​ His expression turned frosty. "Someone from your company hacked into the firewall of Laeger Group's finance department and stole 1.2 million dollars from my account. The amount of money is not worth mentioning, but this incident infuriates me."​ Calvin was indeed angry. Laeger Group was a respectable company with an authoritative presence in the business world. But now, it was ridiculous that someone had hacked their firewall without a trace. After all, the people in Laeger Group were all top-notch experts, making Calvin wonder who the excellent hacker was.​ Melanie was dumbfounded. She was sure she hadn't sent anyone to do such a thing, so she asked, "Mr. Laeger, why are you so sure that one of my people was behind it?"​ Calvin threw a stack of files onto the table. "The IP address was traced back to your place."​ Melanie felt her brain buzzing and instantly understood what was going on.​ She felt overwhelmed and frustrated. All she could think about was she was going to teach her kids a good lesson upon going home.​ But still, Melanie replied calmly, "Starlight Group and Laeger Group have never had any grudges against each other. It's my first time meeting you, Mr. Laeger. Besides, I don't care about doing such a thing! As you've said, the 1.2 million dollars is worthless—it's basically the price of a handbag to me, so I don't think it's worth mentioning either. But since someone has implicated me, I'll investigate this matter as soon as possible and provide you with an explanation."​ "Very well. Ms. Gibson, I hope you can provide me with a satisfactory explanation."​ Melanie nodded. "Of course."​ Calvin glanced at her. "One reminder, though, Ms. Gibson. It's not a good thing to attract my attention with this method."​ Melanie couldn't help but roll her eyes inwardly.​ She smiled courteously. "Don't worry. I'm not interested in a big shot like you, Mr. Laeger. As per today's discussion, I'll look into this matter as soon as possible and provide you with a satisfactory result."​ Then, Melanie gestured for Calvin to leave.​ She thought, "Show yourself out!"​ It was the first time Calvin had been treated coldly. After all, there were people at his beck and call wherever he went.​ Now, he was ordered to leave by a woman.​ He mused, "Okay. I'm going to keep this in mind."​ Calvin gave Melanie a warning stare before turning around and leaving with his assistant, Christopher Yates.​ As they walked away, he instructed Christopher, "Keep an eye on her."​ Christopher nodded. "All right."​ After Calvin left, Melanie immediately got up. "Sabrina, I'll go home first. If any problem arises, please inform me in time."​ "Okay, Boss."​ Melanie didn't want to delay for another moment. She immediately returned to her mansion in Southville.​ The three little ones were sitting on the couch when she entered the house.​ The three of them dressed up like each other and looked incredibly handsome at a young age. They were reading their books in a well-behaved manner.​ Mildred sold Melanie's five children to different human traffickers right after Melanie gave birth all those years ago.​ Melanie had no idea how she had wronged Mildred to make the latter hate her so much.​ Separating her from her children in that way was even worse than death.​ Melanie spent a lot of money buying out the nurse who worked for Mildred to obtain clues on her children's whereabouts.​ Fortunately, those who trafficked her kids were doing it for money.​ Melanie could track them down and bring back her kids if she spent the right amount of money.​ However, two of her children remained missing because she had no clue where they had gone.​ She had never stopped looking for them in the past five years, but it was all to no avail.​ The little ones surrounded Melanie immediately when they noticed she had returned. They smiled, greeting her sweetly, "Mommy!"​ Her kids looked innocent and harmless, making Melanie's anger dissipate slightly.​ However, Melanie said sternly, "You three, stand up straight. I have questions to ask, and you three better answer me honestly."​ This was the first time Melanie had spoken to her kids so sternly.​ The three little ones remained calm, answering in unison, "We will answer your questions truthfully, Mommy!"​ Melanie's eldest, Micah, asked first, "What's going on, Mommy?"​ Melanie put on a serious expression. "It's about Laeger Group..."​ "We didn't do it!" The three little ones spoke in unison.

Yes 2024-11-05 00:43 active 1684 0 Her groom ran away from wedding to pursue his first love. Heartbroken, she randomly found a disabled man who was also abandoned to get married. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a billionaire! ===== Chapter 1 How About We Get Married? "Today is our wedding day! What am I supposed to do if you leave?" At the wedding, Elyse Lloyd was in a panic as she grabbed Theo Ward's wrist to stop him from leaving, her eyes filling with pleading. "Kaelyn knows about our wedding, and now she's threatening to jump off a building. You are aware of her depression, aren't you? I have to go save her." Theo explained impatiently and pushed Elyse aside. The venue was filled with the family and friends of both parties, all seated and waiting. The officiant had posed the question to Theo about his willingness to marry Elyse. Instead of replying, he ignored the officiant, answered his phone, and then abruptly attempted to leave. "Kaelyn Bennett totally stabbed you in the back before. She's caused you so much pain--why the heck must you go see her right now?" "You're not in a position to judge what happened between me and Kaelyn. No matter her wrongs or the pain she caused, you don't measure up to her." A pain struck Elyse's heart. "You're more concerned with your wedding than a living person's life. You're so heartless. Let's reschedule the wedding." Without a glance at her pale face, he strode away from the ornate altar, oblivious to the puzzled looks of gathered guests. Elyse cried out, sitting pitifully on the floor. She trembled, tears ruining her carefully applied makeup. The man she had loved for three years, disregarding her dignity, had chosen another woman without a second thought on their big day. He was consumed with thoughts of Kaelyn's distress but seemed indifferent to how lost and humiliated she felt, left alone at the altar. All around her, countless eyes watched, some mocking, some pitying, and others even gloating. Elyse had never felt such torment! Her father, Lanny Lloyd, approached. She hoped for comfort, but instead, he scolded her sharply, "You can't even keep a man. How useless!" After berating her, he left with his wife, Glenda Lloyd, without a backward glance. Her sister, Mabel Lloyd, emerged from the crowd with a smirk. "Well, that's embarrassing, Elyse. Your groom ran off, and now you're a laughingstock. I'm embarrassed for you. Imagine how Mom and Dad feel." After saying that, she turned and left. One by one, all of Elyse's family members departed, leaving her completely alone. Initially, Theo's parents felt guilty, but upon witnessing her family's reaction, all traces of guilt dissipated. "Even her own parents didn't support her. It seems this isn't entirely Theo's fault." "Yes, if she were a good partner, why would her fiancé leave her?" "Did she cheat on him? What else would make a groom leave like that?" The murmurs of criticism from the surrounding guests grew louder and harsher. Suddenly, there were noises nearby. Turning around, Elyse spotted a man in a suit sitting alone in a wheelchair. The officiant, looking flustered, asked, "Where is your bride?" Wiping away her tears, she halted a passing staff member and inquired, "That man is a groom, right? Where is his bride?" The staff member glanced at her and responded, "She didn't show up. I heard it was because she couldn't deal with her husband's disability." "And he's been waiting here all this time?" The staff member nodded. The wheelchair-bound groom was facing away from Elyse, and they were a fair distance apart. She couldn't see his expression, but she understood the pain of being left alone. They were both unfortunate souls, abandoned. After a moment of reflection, a determined look settled in Elyse's eyes. She had loved Theo for three years, but he had betrayed her. Why should she remain loyal to him? She realized she didn't need to be with him at all. As she suddenly stood up, the guests who had been whispering and mocking her fell silent. All eyes instinctively focused on her as she lifted the hem of her dress and confidently walked toward the man in the wheelchair. The sight of a bride in a white wedding dress approaching left the man's guests equally stunned. Hearing the rustle of her dress, the man in the wheelchair turned around slowly. Elyse halted and gazed at the handsome man before her, a spark of surprise in her eyes. She then extended her hand and said, "Hello, I heard you're in need of a bride. My groom just left me. How about we get married?" Chapter 2 What Was She Up To? "My name is Elyse Lloyd. If it's all right with you, we can get married today," she proposed confidently. Her bold proposal left the crowd in shock, prompting several to capture the moment with their phones. "Miss Lloyd, are you certain about this decision? Given my disability, I may not be able to provide the future you envision," the man replied openly, without hiding his condition, and gently urged her to think it over. "I've made up my mind," Elyse responded with determination. "I'm Jayden," he introduced himself. Seeing her resolve, Jayden Owen grasped her hand and shared his concern, "I fear you might regret this choice later on." Elyse chose not to respond. She was sure of her decision. She had once been solely focused on marrying Theo, who never truly reciprocated her love. Now, who she married seemed inconsequential. After efficiently wrapping up the wedding formalities at City Hall, Elyse and Jayden were now bound by matrimony, officially united as husband and wife. With the marriage certificate in hand, Elyse experienced a profound sense of relief. Theo had broken her heart, and she was resolute in never returning to him. Regarding her father, since she would not be marrying into the Ward family, he had another daughter to think about. She understood her little sister Mabel too well. As someone driven by greed, how could Mabel resist the temptation to become Theo's wife and a member of the Ward family? Thus, marrying Jayden was Elyse's perfect escape from her family's clutches. She had no intention of going back home again. While she gazed thoughtfully at the marriage certificate, Jayden asked, "What's on your mind? Regretting your decision to marry a disabled man?" Elyse shook her head, took hold of the wheelchair, and replied, "I think it was a good decision." Jayden smiled slightly, though his eyes betrayed a hint of skepticism and mistrust. How could any woman genuinely want to marry a disabled man? He figured she was just putting on an act--an act that couldn't last forever. He needed a bride momentarily to distract his family while he pursued his own goals. Well, he decided, he might as well see what she was up to. Elyse helped Jayden into the car, and they drove to his house. Jayden's home was opulent, complete with a garden and a swimming pool, and staffed with a butler in a tuxedo and uniformed maids. As Elyse stepped onto the plush wool carpet, she truly realized that her new husband was far from ordinary. The butler, Driscoll Lee, approached them respectfully and inquired, "Mr. Owen, is this your bride?" Surveying the opulent house and recollecting her newlywed husband's full name, a sudden realization dawned on Elyse. The Owens were the most influential family in town, and Jayden Owen was particularly notable among his peers for his business acumen and exceptional talent. He was one of the wealthiest men around. However, after a car accident a year ago that cost him his legs, Jayden had faded from the public eye and his prior achievements were largely forgotten. So, she had married the legendary Jayden Owen? Elyse recalled hearing rumors about his engagement to a girl from the Foster family. The bride who had disappeared on her wedding day was supposed to be that Foster girl. Upon hearing Jayden's full name at City Hall, Elyse hadn't dwelled on it much. If she had known his background sooner, she wouldn't have had the courage to broach the topic of marriage with him. Jayden noticed the shock and panic on her face but remained silent. He still doubted that she truly hadn't recognized him. After all, his disability was well known. "This is Elyse Lloyd, my wife. From now on, she will be the hostess here," Jayden introduced her firmly. "Joanna Foster escaped on our wedding day because she didn't want to marry a disabled man," he added bluntly. "Joanna Foster disappeared on the wedding day?" Driscoll expressed his surprise. The Foster family had been eager to forge a union with the Owen family through marriage, pushing for Jayden to marry Joanna. On the wedding day, however, the bride had disappeared. Wasn't this a deliberate humiliation of Jayden? Driscoll felt sympathy for him and offered some consolation, "Sir, perhaps it's for the best that she left. It seems you might have found the right person after all." Elyse had shown no concern for Jayden's disability and was willing to marry him. That indeed counted for something. Chapter 3 He Could Walk Fluidly Looking at Jayden's legs, Elyse felt a wave of sympathy for him. Jayden had once been at the pinnacle of success, and now he seemed so vulnerable. Just because he was disabled, his bride had callously abandoned him at the altar, showing him no respect whatsoever. He must have felt even more devastated than she did during the wedding. Approaching Jayden, Elyse took his hand and said earnestly, "Don't worry. We are husband and wife now. I will take care of you for the rest of our lives." Jayden's expression turned rigid. Could she really mean it, promising to take care of him for a lifetime? He doubted her sincerity, thinking she was just putting on an act of compassion. Without a word, Jayden maneuvered his wheelchair into the study on the first floor. "I'm sorry," Driscoll said apologetically. "Since his accident, he's been a bit more temperamental." "It's fine. I understand," Elyse replied, dismissing it with a wave of her hand. Anyone in his situation might change. She then followed Driscoll upstairs to a room on the second floor. -- "Sir." In the study stood a bald man named Vinny Bailey, clad in a tight black shirt that accentuated his prominent tendons. Respectfully, Vinny ignited a lighter and lit a cigar for Jayden. "Joanna has gone abroad. The Foster family is desperately trying to come up with a solution." "They've taken thirty million and five major projects from me. Is this their way of repaying me?" Jayden let out a puff of smoke and remarked casually, "If I don't teach them a lesson, others will see me as a pushover. The Fosters need to learn a few things." "Do you want us to bring Joanna back?" Vinny inquired, nodding. "And as for your new wife, should we make some introductions with our men?" "No need." Jayden, cigar clenched between his teeth, lifted a document from the desk and strolled over to the window. The wheelchair was tucked away in a corner of the room, ignored, as he moved fluidly across the floor. This document detailed Elyse's entire life, from her childhood through to her college life, even including her romance with Theo. He casually flipped through the pages and drawled, "An ordinary woman. She married me just for my money." Back then, the Owens had declared their search for a wife for Jayden, aiming simply to secure an heir. Upon the announcement, no wealthy family was eager to marry their daughter to him, except for the Fosters, who had enriched themselves through their daughters' marriage. The Fosters' motive was straightforward--to exchange their daughter for resources and money. Vinny saw no other reason for Elyse to marry Jayden but for financial gain. Yet, there was another twist. "She was originally going to marry Theo Ward." "Ward? The Ward family that's well-known?" Jayden lifted an eyebrow. "Yes. But apparently, the groom ran off to reunite with his ex-girlfriend after receiving a phone call." Vinny paused, then speculated, "Maybe she married you just to spite Theo Ward." Jayden ceased perusing the documents and glanced up at Vinny with a hint of annoyance. "You're looking at it too simplistically. By marrying me, she stands to gain more. That's the real reason she married me, despite my disability." In Jayden's eyes, Elyse hadn't yet revealed her true intentions. But he didn't mind her interest in his money. He needed a wife to appease his family. If she married him for gain, it would make a future divorce simpler for him. -- Perched on the edge of the bed, Elysee scrolled through her phone and noticed the trending topics. #Bridegroom Ran Away For His Ex #Bride Marries Stranger To Anger Her Ranaway Groom She casually scrolled through the comments. The public deemed the entire situation unbelievable and both parties' actions as unreasonable. Nevertheless, discussions had thrust Elyse's name into circulation because of it. Some even discovered she was a violinist in an orchestra and stumbled upon a video of her past performance. Unable to resist, Elyse was watching these videos when Theo called. "Where are you, Elyse? Let's meet and talk." Chapter 4 Who Were You Married To? As Elyse descended the stairs to the villa's entrance, Driscoll approached her with concern. "It's quite late. Where are you off to? Shall I arrange a car for you?" "No, thanks. I'll be back soon." Driscoll watched her depart before heading to the study. Elyse, having agreed to meet Theo, called a taxi and was soon en route. Fifteen minutes later, she entered a coffee shop and instantly noticed Theo, who was in high spirits, busy texting on his phone. A flicker of sarcasm crossed her eyes as she approached and sat across from him. Theo looked up, his expression souring. "Why are you so late? Do you have any idea how long I've been waiting?" Staring back at him, Elyse felt a chill. They had been together for a long time, yet he was always domineering toward her, a stark contrast to his demeanor with Kaelyn. She had once loved him, believing she could endure anything. Only today had she realized how foolish that was. If she didn't love herself, how could she expect anyone else to love her? "If you don't want to wait, you can leave," Elyse retorted icily. Theo, taken aback by her response, grew visibly more upset. "You're holding a grudge about what happened at the wedding, aren't you? I get why you're upset, but you can't be more understanding and reasonable? I left because Kaelyn was in dire straits--she was depressed and contemplating suicide." "You can go to anyone you want. You don't need to explain anything to me--I don't care anymore." Elyse found humor in his words. Theo couldn't believe she was indifferent. They had been together for three years, and everyone knew how deeply she loved him. He thought her claim of indifference was merely a result of anger. But he was confident he could easily resolve this. Just a few sweet words and she'd come back to him. "It's not a big deal. I came back to you after handling everything, didn't I? I'll visit your parents soon, and we can start planning the wedding again," Theo said. "No need for that." "What?" "There won't be a wedding." Elyse's face was devoid of emotion. "We're done." "Why are you still upset? I left at the wedding, but I came back for you. Can't you forgive me?" Theo frowned. "Forgive you? Forgive you for abandoning me for another woman?" Elyse slammed her hand on the table. "Do you have any idea what I've been through since you left? Your family has been calling me names, even though you were the one who left me at the altar--just for another woman!" "Elyse Lloyd!" Theo shouted her name furiously. "What others say is their issue. Isn't our three-year relationship strong enough for you to trust me?" "Three years, and yet you never forgot your ex," Elyse countered, her face marked by disappointment. "I believed we'd be together forever, but it seems three years was our limit. We're done, Theo. It's clear we're not suited for each other." While speaking, she retrieved a ring from her bag and set it down on the table--the same ring he had used to propose. She recalled the joy she felt that day, now overshadowed by her current despair. Elyse gave Theo one last look, mentally closing the chapter on their three years together. She grabbed her bag and departed without a backward glance. Theo was stunned. Was Elyse dumping him? He always saw her as a simp, her family reliant on his. How could she just walk away? Humiliated, he chased after her, grabbed her shoulder, and said forcefully, "You have no right to break things off! Remember, your father's business relies on me. Without me, your family has nothing. Come back, and we'll marry in a few days to make up for today!" "Let me go!" Elyse fought back fiercely and yelled with defiance and frustration, "I'm married. Stop bothering me!" "So what if you are married! You will always belong to me." After blurting that out, he froze and asked incredulously, "What did you say? You're married? Who to?" While he was momentarily dazed, Elyse wriggled free from his grip. She hadn't anticipated turning around to find Jayden sitting in a wheelchair quietly a few meters behind her. "Jayden!" she exclaimed. Chapter 5 You Can Stand? "Didn't I make it clear? I'm married. We're over. This is my husband," Elyse said as she quickly moved to Jayden's side, gripping his arm. Theo stared at Jayden, failing to recognize him. With a sneer, he said, "To get back at me, you married a disabled man?" He then extended his hand, commanding in a domineering tone, "Elyse, come here! I'll make it up to you when we get back." But Elyse looked at him as if he were a stranger. "Did you hear me? Come here!" Theo grew frustrated. Elyse reflected on how she would have responded in the past--she would definitely walk over to his side. She had loved him deeply for three years. Her feelings had been genuine. Yet, the depth of her affection made the betrayal harder to bear. On her first birthday after they got together, she wanted to celebrate it by the sea. To make her happy, Theo bought a camera, promising to capture beautiful photos of her. As they were about to board the plane for their trip to the seaside, Kaelyn was injured on a film set and called Theo. Without any hesitation, Theo left her stranded at the airport. It was the most disappointing birthday Elyse had ever experienced. Theo had once vowed to attend her debut performance with her orchestra, yet she ended up not seeing him there. She lingered in the hall all night, only to learn the next day that he had missed the performance because Kaelyn had become drunk at a dinner party while trying to land a role. He stayed because he was worried she might be taken advantage of. For three years, he had been Kaelyn's protector, but he had never offered Elyse the same safeguard. This accumulation of disappointments came to a head at the wedding. She knew she deserved love and respect, not neglect. "I am Jayden's wife now. I owe my loyalty to him," declared Elyse with a chill in her voice. "Elyse Lloyd!" Theo roared, enraged. He thought Elyse was merely being spiteful and fabricating things due to the day's incidents. As he tried to seize her hand, Jayden intervened, blocking him swiftly. Theo struggled to free his hand, but was unable to. He couldn't overpower a disabled man? The realization pissedhim off. "Release me!" Theo exploded with anger. "She has no desire to leave with you. Can't you understand?" Jayden pressed slowly, his force causing Theo's features to twist in distress. Jayden held on until Theo cried out in pain before releasing him. "Remember this day, Elyse. You'll regret it in the future!" With a hint of embarrassment, Theo glared at Elyse and stormed off after his declaration. Watching him leave, Elyse felt a bitter smile form within her. She knew Theo would not easily let go of being humiliated, but there was no turning back for them now. "Let's go home, Elyse." "Okay." After helping Jayden into the car, they both sat silently, gazing out the window and avoiding any mention of Theo. "How did you know I was out here?" Elyse asked, her curiosity piqued. Without turning to face her, Jayden replied, "Driscoll mentioned it wasn't safe for you to be alone at this hour, so I came to pick you up." In truth, he had suspected she was up to something secretive, but it turned out she was merely meeting her ex. This revelation left him slightly disappointed. "Since you've married me, you should sever ties with your ex. My family members are strict, and I can't cover for you if they find out you're still seeing another man." "I won't see him again. I met him just to return a ring," Elyse responded, nodding. Jayden said nothing more. As long as Elyse respected his boundaries, she was free to make her own choices. When they arrived home, Elyse noticed Jayden heading straight for the study again. Curious, she asked Driscoll, "Why is he always in the study?" "The study is not only his workplace, but it has also become a sanctuary for his soul," Driscoll explained. "And why doesn't he return to his room?" "He does sometimes, but we rarely know when. He prefers that we don't fuss over him too much." With that, Driscoll departed. After freshening up in her room, Elyse was preparing for bed, but her thoughts lingered on the day's events with Jayden. She realized that despite his reserved nature, he was genuinely concerned for her safety. Feeling grateful and wanting to express her thanks, she left her room and walked towards the study. As she approached, she noticed the door was slightly ajar, casting a sliver of light into the hallway. Elyse pushed the door open and to her surprise, saw Jayden standing. She gasped and asked, "Jayden, you can stand?" ==== "You need a bride, I need a groom. Why don't we get married?" Both abandoned at the altar, Elyse decided to tie the knot with the disabled stranger from the venue next door. Pitying his state, she vowed to spoil him once they were married. Little did she know that he was actually a powerful and healthy tycoon. Was Jayden's fake disability revealed just like that? What happens next?
