"If you could harm your grandson, why didn't you do the same to your daughter back then?" Shelly asked with frustration.Wendy remained silent.Could Paige and the baby inside her be considered the same?Paige was a living, breathing person, while the child in her womb was just an undeveloped embryo. In Wendy's eyes, an embryo did not equate to a life, so it was not against her conscience to plot against it."You're a useless woman," Shelly remarked. If Wendy had been a little more useful, Paige might not be alive and kicking right now.Infuriated, Wendy looked at Shelly and replied with contempt, "Useless? If I'm useless, what does that make you? You couldn't outshine Sierra back then, and now, Paige. You helplessly watched as Chris and Sierra got engaged and Paige married Chris. You even witnessed them in love, and now, you're witnessing Paige carrying Chris's child. If I'm useless, you're even more so. If you had any value, you could’ve done something yourself instead of forcin

Chris looked at Rory and shook his head lightly.Rory was shocked.If five million dollars was not enough, how much would it take to sway Chris? Chris said, "Even if you hand over the entire Shepard Group to me today, I won't withdraw the lawsuit. Shelly must go to jail."He stared at the Shepards, his eyes devoid of emotion. Rory was astonished at Chris’s devotion to Paige. He could not understand why Chris remained unmoved even in the face of such benefits. As a businessman, he prioritized profit the most. If he had to swap roles with Chris today, where his wife was harmed and the other party was willing to compensate with five million dollars or even more, he would definitely accept and forgive the other party.Although Paige was harmed, it was just a false alarm.Was a false alarm, in exchange for five million dollars, not worth it?Shelly glared at Chris with resentment. She knew she could not provoke him because provoking him would be highly unfavorable to her curre

"Once Shelly and Wendy's cases are settled, make a public statement to severe ties with Wendy," Chris suggested to Paige."Can I?" Paige asked hesitantly.Chris nodded. "Yeah, you can."Concerned, Paige asked, "Won't it have a negative impact on you and the company?"Chris reassured her, "Nope.""Oh.”Chris observed Paige’s expression and raised an eyebrow. "What's up? You don’t want to?"Paige shook her head. "No... It's just..."After all, Wendy was her biological mother, and now that she was about to cut ties with her, she felt conflicted.Chris remained silent. He understood that, despite Wendy's mistreatment, she could not easily sever the ties with her own mother. After all, a natural bond existed between one and one’s mother.Although Paige disliked Wendy, especially after Wendy plotted against her own child, the thought of cutting ties with Wendy and becoming complete strangers weighed heavily on her emotions.Her feelings were complex.There was a bit of joy, hap

Justin nodded with tears streaming down his face. "Grandaunt Mildred, I get it… I know, Grandaunt Mildred. I'm sorry..."In reality, Justin knew he could not avoid gambling. He believed he would eventually win. After losing so much money, he thought it was about time for luck to turn in his favor. Moreover, it was not just any gambling den; it was a high-stakes casino where he had seen people win millions in a single night.It was just a streak of bad luck.However, can someone be unlucky forever?People had their moments of good fortune.Seeing Justin in such distress, Mildred softened. She opened her safe, retrieved the property ownership papers, and handed them to Justin, saying, "Jay, these are all I have…”Taking the certificates, Justin looked at Mildred. "Grandaunt Mildred, I'm sorry… I'm so sorry..."At that point, Bob could not listen any longer. When he learned that Justin was involved in business, he suspected it was his mom who provided the capital. Concerned, he

Mildred was deeply moved.Bob sneered at Justin. Anyone could say such sweet words. In fact, Justin was just saying it to please his mother, hoping for a divorce so that he could grab some cash."Mom, think about it." Bob looked straight at Mildred. "What have the Lawsons done for you over the years? Have they sacrificed anything for you? On your birthdays, have they ever given you thoughtful gifts? Did they visit you during the holidays? Yes, they say they love and respect you, but what about actions? What have they done for you?"Mildred fell into silence. She had not paid attention to those details before. Considering the Quirks' conditions were much better than the Lawsons', she did not need anything from them; she could buy whatever she wanted.Thinking it over, she realized the Lawsons had never really given her anything substantial. Sure, there were the occasional small gifts, but they were no valuable presents. Despite their decent conditions with her help, they had n
