Chapter 166385 words
The moment Evelyn heard that voice, fury ignited in her chest.
Chapter 167393 words
"Miss Lancaster, perhaps you should remain silent if you can't speak with civility. No one will mistake you for mute if you refrain from speaking. Mr. Blackwood and I have conducted ourselves with complete propriety. Even if you distrust me, surely you trust your own fiancé?"

Chapter 280520 words
The car door swung open with a sharp click.

Chapter 367516 words
Evelyn let out a derisive laugh. "What absolute nonsense! When did I ever do any of those things to you? You're the one throwing yourself at Alexander with that face of yours. Every single accusation you're making is your own doing. So if I decide to make you suffer later, you've got no one to blame but yourself."
Chapter 368453 words
"Go ahead and tell him then." Evelyn smirked, her crimson lips curling with amusement. "Do you honestly think he'll believe you over me?"

Chapter 415632 words
"You've got sharp eyes. That's correct, I'm not Vivian at all. I'm Evelyn!"
Chapter 416514 words
"How absurd. You gave such a passionate speech about avenging your daughter, yet now you won't even acknowledge her as your own."

Chapter 421439 words
"Look over there." Eleanor pointed to a spot not far away, her eyes suddenly clouded with sorrow. "My daughter is gone, and I know I can never make up for that loss. This is the only way I can ease my regret, even if just a little."
Chapter 422479 words
Eleanor rushed over, her eyes wide with concern. "Miss Vivian, why did you suddenly dash into the street? It's so dangerous! Are you hurt?"
Chapter 423407 words
Her finger jabbed arrogantly toward Evelyn before she moved to embrace him.
Chapter 424438 words
Alexander had just ended his afternoon conference when Margaret Blackwood's call came through.
Chapter 425483 words
Henry Blackwood's voice carried quiet certainty. His piercing gaze left no doubt—he knew exactly who stood before him.

The chime of a notification broke the silence.
Chapter 437370 words

Chapter 438411 words
"I'll leave a glimmer of hope for you this winter—for Grandfather and Ethan."
Chapter 439382 words
"Enough!" Alexander's voice thundered through the dining room, sharp as shattered glass.
Chapter 440437 words
"Yet now you're shamelessly using my death to claim you love me?"
Chapter 441492 words
Margaret Blackwood finished barking her commands with an air of self-importance, plunging the conference room into stunned silence. All eyes were fixed on her and Sophia Montgomery.
