Why are you so concerned? I wouldn’t do anything to hurt you.”
Rylan couldn’t take it anymore. He abruptly stood up, glaring coldly at Lily.
“You know damn well why she can’t get pregnant, don’t you? And you’re well aware of what happened to her parents. You were the one who insisted on going abroad and breaking up with Elliot. Technically, you’re the homewrecker between her and Elliot. You’re the one who played dirty. What right do you have to talk about her like that?”
“Is this whole world, you’re the last person who should be
Seeing him about to go, Lily immediately clutched her stomac falling back on her old tricks.

Rylan couldn’t miss the malice dripping from Lily’s words. This time, Rylan cut Lily off mid–sentence.
“If your stomach hurts, you shouldn’t be coming to me. You should find the man who got you pregnant. I’m just your
husband’s brother. I’ve helped you more than enough over the
years. From now on, you and Elliot should live your own lives.” After saying this, Rylan walked straight to the door. As he
opened it, he paused for a moment and spoke again.
“Oh, and by the way, my wife had a psychological disorder seven
years ago. She wasn’t mentally ill, and she certainly wasn’t
crazy. In the future, please watch your mouth.”
Rylan didn’t spare another glance at the tear–stained Lily as he
left the hospital room without looking back.
As soon as he stepped out of the room Rylan felt increasingly
uneasy.

Given Britta’s personality, she wouldn’t have left so resolutely
just because of this morning’s conflict.
Rylan clenched his fists, a suspicion forming in his mind. He turned to his secretary and growled through gritted teeth. “Investigate!“Everything that happened on the cruise ship

“I need every single detail investigated thoroughly!”

The instant I saw my brother, the tension that had gripped me for two days suddenly released, and I broke down crying like a
child.
Only when I stopped sobbing did I hiccup through recounting the events of the past two days to my brother.
My brother’s forehead veins bulged with anger, and he was itching to fly back home and murder that pair of scumbags. I sniffled and tried to bring my brother back to his senses. “We can’t do that now. The Su Corporation has New York City in the palm of their hand. We can’t touch them.”
“Besides, too much time has passed. We need time to gather evidence. We can’t act rashly before we can deliver a fatal blow. Hearing my words, my brother regained some sense, but his
back remained tightly coiled.
“You’ve been through so much these years. Leave the rest to

“The Winters family hasn’t been idle abroad all this time. I’ve got plenty of friends back home too. Don’t worry, I’ll make them pay back everything they owe our family, every last bit.”
I couldn’t help but choke up, and the tears I had just managed to hold back started falling again.Dad and Mom’s accident

happened just as the Winters family’s overseas market was rapidly expanding, and it couldn’t spare a moment without attention, so my brother didn’t return to the country.
By the time my parents passed away and my brother rushed back, he found me in an extremely unstable mental state. Rylan had been taking excellent care of me, and even my brother couldn’t have done a better job.
Rylan urged my brother to return abroad quickly, as the foreign business truly couldn’t be left unattended. So, my brother trusted Rylan and entrusted me to his care.
Rylan repeatedly assured my brother that he would take good
care of me, and indeed, he had been doing so for the past seven
years.
However, neither my brother nor I had anticipated this.
A man’s deep affection and love can all be an act, and this
performance lasted for seven years.
While we were busy gathering evidence, Rylan, who was in the country, was on the verge of a breakdown.
He hadn’t been to work at Su Corporation for several days, staying at home instead. No one knew what he was doing.
