Marriage was but a means to deplete her in-laws' resources for the benefit of her maiden family. Mildred had been indoctrinated with the idea that only her maiden family truly mattered, as a husband could be divorced, but parents were forever. The concept that a woman was a burden and should sacrifice for her family was deeply ingrained in Mildred's mind from her upbringing.Her parents taught her that girls were burdens and should play the role of a sacrificial lamb for the family. Her brother, growing up in such an environment, shared the same belief. He thought that his sister should sacrifice herself for his benefit, and any money she earned should ultimately be his.Despite encountering different perspectives as she grew older, Mildred couldn't break free from the mindset she had been raised in. She understood that these beliefs were wrong. But after years of being a sacrificial lamb, it was hard to change. Nevertheless, with the Quirks' standing behind her, Mildred felt c

Shelly calmly replied, "Let’s see." She stood up and told Tanya, "I have things to attend to. If you don't mind, I'll leave now."Tanya nodded, saying with a smile, "Sure, go ahead. I'll stay a bit longer."As Shelly left, Tanya stirred her coffee with a spoon. Nina was coming back.…In the morning, when Paige woke up, Chris was no longer in bed. However, Paige knew that Chris had spent the night at the hospital with her.The hospital bed was a bit short for a tall man like Chris, and sharing a small bed was cramped. Although Chris could have gone home to sleep comfortably in a larger bed, he chose to stay and squeeze onto the hospital bed with her.Feeling warm inside, Paige blushed slightly when the nurse entered, saying, "You're awake? Mr. Ji asked us to tell you that he went to the company and will come back to the hospital in the afternoon.""Ah," Paige responded, her face turning a bit red. Why did Chris have to tell the nurse all that? He could have just told her direc

Paige stared at Chris. What was he saying?Chris looked at the phone, and Paige anxiously glanced at the screen, which showed the other party was typing. Soon, a message arrived.Lisa: [Actually, it's not necessary to have a maid.]Paige: [Huh? What do you mean?]Lisa: [Paige, if you trust me, I'm willing.]Paige: [Willing for what?]Lisa: [I'm willing to help you... take care of Chris.]Paige was left dumbfounded, unable to comprehend Lisa's shocking words. How could Lisa say something like this? Chris observed Paige's reaction. She finally understood that those girls from the dorm did not have pure intentions toward him.Paige was shocked by Lisa's words. She couldn't understand how Lisa could express such shameless intentions. Was Lisa out of her mind? Or had Lisa completely lost her sense of decency?Lisa wasn't insane. She understood that expressing such shameless intentions might be unacceptable to most people. In the past, Lisa wouldn’t have accepted such behavior a

But why does he feel... like his life was so bleak?Yesterday afternoon, he borrowed a few million with the property deed he had just mortgaged. In just one night, he lost it all. He doesn't know how he lost, only that... he lost, and everything was gone.That house in an upscale neighborhood was purchased after selling off the old family house. It was a wedding house prepared by his grandparents. Yet just like that, he lost it.In just one short night, Justin lost several million.He looked at the bustling streets in a daze.…Justin returned home. The Lawsons saw Justin and asked worriedly, "Justin, where were you last night? Why didn't you answer your phone?"Looking at his grandparents who were filled with concern, Justin replied, "Grandpa, Grandma, I was out drinking with friends last night… I got drunk and slept at the hotel.""Oh... Justin, Grandpa knows you're feeling troubled now. It's okay... Grandpa will talk to your grandaunt later. I'll get her to find you a new

Chris asked, "Why won't it be effective?"Paige hesitated and then replied, "It's not that. Seeking blessings and amulets depends on sincere intentions."Chris raised an eyebrow, "Are you suggesting that I'm not sincerely praying for you?"Paige pondered and said, "Well, it's not like that."Paige remained silent. Was that not the case? Did he think that seeking an amulet was a trivial matter? If he prayed for so many amulets, wouldn't the gods perceive that as insincere? Chris squinted at Paige and continued, "So? Do you believe that my mom sincerely prays for you while I'm insincere? Just because she has been nice to you for a few days, you think she treats you better than I do?" What a heartless little thing. Despite everything he's done for her, it couldn't compare to an amulet. Sigh."No," Paige quickly shook her head, saying, "You're the best to me.""The best?" Chris raised an eyebrow."Yeah," Paige nodded, "The absolute best."Chris smiled. So she does know that he
