“My adoptive mother hasn’t been well lately, and she needs my care. I’ve been thinking of moving back, but I owe her for raising me. It’s not right to be u
Charlic stared at Melanie with skepticism. Has she really turned better?
Herbert walked over and said coldly, “You’re just putting on an act.”
This little sh*t! Melanie felt an urge to slap him but calmly explained, “Herbert, what happened before was a misunderstanding. Everyone has moments o
Although Charlie was young, he wasn’t easily fooled. “Once again, you’re trying to subtly influence us to suspect my sister. You want us to dislike her.”
“No matter how you’ve deceived my mother, if you upset her, I’ll make you pay dearly,” Charlie threatened, his eyes narrowing.
Herbert spoke in a cold voice. “If you dare to mention Aurelia again, I’ll beat you to death.”
Staring at the two individuals hostile toward her, Melanie clung tightly to her bag. Fine! Let’s see how they’ll try to appease me in the future and then apo
“Is that Mel? Why are you standing outside? Come on in.” Phyllis spotted her two sons at the entrance and spoke as she approached.
“Yes, Mom, I’m coming.” Melanie promptly responded obediently.
Charlie and Herbert exchanged a glance, then stepped aside for her to enter.
Upon entering the room, Melanie was taken aback by the sight before her. This place is so decrepit!
The furniture appeared to be many years old. Although not broken, it was visibly worn, exuding a sense of cheapness.
However, it wasn’t dirty and was well– cleaned. Otherwise, Melanie wouldn’t even want to step inside. Charlie and Herbert noticed the disdain in Melanie’s eyes. I knew it! It was an act all alon
Meanwhile, at the Hoffman residence, Aurelia saw Nancy, who looked somewhat worn out. “Insomnia?”
“Last night, I heard about my cousin’s situation from my mom, and then I stayed up half the night chatting with my cousin,” Nancy said, yawning.
Her eyes were red and swollen, à clear indication that she had spent the previous night in tears. “Your cousin?” Aurelia seemed to recall Nancy mentioning her cousin before. I think her cousin was pregnant before marriage two years ago dnd tied the knot during pregnancy, becoming a housewife

“Yes. She had a daughter last year and wanted to chase her dreams again this year, but her in– laws stopped her. They said they couldn’t take care of the child and didn’t trust a nanny. In fact, they insisted she should stay at home full– time to take care of the child and them. My cousin–in–law also thought my cousin was being too selfish for wanting to not stay at home when their child was still so young.” Nancy’s eyes reddened as she spoke.
With a serious expression, Aurelia guided Nancy to sit on the couch.
After sitting down, Nancy continued. “My cousin was quite heartbroken, but with her family’s disapproval, she had no choice but to obey their wishes. Just a couple of days ago, while she was scrolling through her phone, she stumbled upon a live– streaming channel. The channel focused specifically on filming attractive men and women on the street. In the live stream, she saw her husband enterin baby body, even saying that she looked unattractive while giving birth. an image he couldn’t forget.”
Nancy was afraid after learning of her cousin’s fate and suddenly didn’t want a child anymore.
Her fear was that Justin would despise her and that she would lose her sense of self.
She wanted to work, and since she had only recently graduated from university, she didn’t want to be in a rush to have a child.
“What has your cousin decided now?” Aurelia asked.
“She had already spoken to her family and is preparing to divorce her husband. Right now, she’s in the process of gathering evidence of his infidelity. Sh
Aurelia gently consoled, “Your cousin is very strong. What happened has happened. The fact that she could swiftly arrange her own future and plan her
“Indeed, my cousin is truly resilient. If I were in her shoes, I fear I would have been unable to get back on my feet. It’s hard for me to imagine what I woul strong on the outside but vulnerable underneath. I may seem nonchalant about everything, but in reality, I’m actually quite scared.” Nancy sighed.
Through her cousin’s incident, she conducted a deep self–analysis.
Aurelia’s eyes flickered for a moment as she recalled someone saying “Mr. Hoffman” in that hot spring resort. Could it really be such coincidences in the
Nancy noticed Aurelia was lost in thought. “Are you thinking about yourself? Curtis is also a b*stard and won’t end up well. If my cousin can start anew, s pack abs, is on his way. He’s seen your photo and says it’s love at first sight.”
Aurelia was shocked. “Your cousin is coming over?”
“Yeah, didn’t I mention it to you two days ago? I wanted to introduce you to my cousin. Rest assured, my cousin is a detective and can definitely protect

“Moreover, my cousin has never been in a relationship. He prefers to go withour than to settle for something inferior. That’s how he is!”

Aurelia was at a loss for words, feeling quite helpless. “I’m married already, though. I’m really married.
“Yeah, married to the air” Nancy gave Aurelia a pat on the shoulder. “Trust me. My cousin can eliminate one thousand Curtis in a second!”
Just as she finished speaking, the man in question arrived.
A gentleman, standing tall at one point nine meters, walked in. “Nancy.”
Nancy turned to Uriah Xenos. “Uriah, come. Aurelia has already beaten you here. Didn’t you say you were going to come half an hour early?”
“There was a bit of a situation at the station just now, so I had to swing by,” Uriah said, striding over.
Upon seeing Aurelia, he was slightly taken aback. Thankfully, due to his frequent dealings with suspects, he managed to remain composed. She’s even
“Hello, Ms. Shaw, I’m Nancy’s cousin, Uriah.” Uriah extended his hand toward Aurelia.
Aurelia courteously shook his hand. “I’m Aurelia, a friend of Nancy.”
Nancy revealed a contented smile. They look just like the perfect match standing together!
“Aurelia, could I borrow your cell phone for a moment?” Nancy asked Aurelia.
Aurelia unlocked her phone and handed it to Nancy, asking. “What do you need to do?”
“I’m taking a picture of you two.”
Then, she posted the picture on Instagram to p*ss off Curtis.
