Chapter 501 Neither Winona nor Yves was surprised by Julian’s arrival. They had sent him an invitation, and when he didn’t show up, they assumed it was because he was too ashamed. It was better that way. They never expected him to crash their wedding at a moment like this.
Chapter 500 Day after day, she cried and wailed, muttering deliriously, “Julian, we have two sons and two daughters! We have the perfect family, a blessing upon a blessing! I’m your lucky charm, Julian. Come back to me. Don’t pay any attention to a woman like Winona. She’s just cheap,
Chapter 499 “Our children… yours and mine Felicity’s voice trembled uncontrollably. “Our children,” Julian began, his voice devoid of anger, replaced by a hollow exhaustion, “are not only intellectually disabled, but also paralyzed. And not just paralyzed—their bodies are wracked with constant spasms. It’s some kind of genetic mutation, something
Chapter 498 Bathed in the warm glow of applause, Winona struck Julian then as a vision of breathtaking beauty. She was poised, dignified, and radiated an unshakeable strength and vibrant femininity.

Chapter 497 Julian stood motionless, the invitation a dead weight in his grasp. Everything up to this point had felt like body blows, but this… this was the finishing strike that crushed it completely. Winona and Yves were already in their car, heading to the construction site. After a long
Chapter 496 “A real man wouldn’t say things like that, Julian!” Yves retorted, his gaze cold and unyielding as he faced Julian. “You’re right, Winona and I have nothing on paper. We’re not married yet. But you? You had a six-year marriage, but you were the one who shamelessly cheated
Chapter 495 Inside the office, Yves Prescott sat at one end of a sofa, intently reviewing a stack of documents. Winona was lying down, her head resting comfortably in his lap. His left hand gently cradled her cheek while his right moved across the papers with a pen. Yves looked
Chapter 494 “I told you so many times!” Old Mr. Nicholson continued, his voice trembling with age and sorrow. “Even though Julian didn’t love Winona, you had to treat her with kindness. Treat her well! I told you again and again that she saved Julian’s life with her own body.
Chapter 493 Winona walked out of the hospital without a backward glance. She took no part in Teague’s funeral arrangements and had no intention of ever visiting his grave. She didn’t know or care what would become of Jason and the old Shepherds. All she knew was that Henrietta was
Chapter 492 “Dad, Winona won’t acknowledge us,” Jason said, his voice breaking. “Not only that, she called the police on Mom. She gave them evidence of Mom abusing Tiana, and… and she refuses to be a donor for you p> At that moment, Jason was consumed by regret. Why had
Chapter 491 The Shepherds never imagined that seeking out Winona would not only fail to improve their situation but plunge them into an even more desperate one.

Chapter 490 Henrietta’s face went pale. “So… she deliberately told me Winona wasn’t my daughter p> Yves nodded. “Afterward, Jillian was consumed with guilt. She was terrified of losing her job and going to jail. She was planning to retract her statement and claim it was a mistake. But then,
Chapter 489 Jason looked from his grandmother to his mother, confused. “What… what did you do p> Yves answered for them. “Your father… Mr. Teague… had a girlfriend in college who got pregnant. Your grandmother, Old Mrs. Shepherd, disapproved of the girl because her family was poor and not from
Chapter 488 “Yves Prescott, what… what do you want?” Felicity’s voice was filled with terror. “Winona is right. You can choose to kill yourself. If you don’t, your only other option is prison. And once you’re inside, things will be out of your control,” Yves replied, his tone as light
Chapter 487 “Felicity!” Jason’s voice was laced with venom the moment he heard her. “Felicity, you are not a Shepherd! And you’ve known it all along, haven’t you? Answer me p> Winona, who had been about to walk out, froze in her tracks. She also wanted to know if Felicity

Chapter 485 Winona took the Shepherds to a restaurant with a private room. She ordered food for the four of them but instructed the owner to hold off on serving it. Inside the spacious room, Winona, Mia, Grandma, Yves Prescott, Tiana, and Zane sat on one side of a large
Chapter 484 Jason and Henrietta fell silent. “Mommy,” Tiana said, looking up at her mother, “that evil woman pulled my hair p> Winona felt a fresh wave of agony. She bit down hard on her lip to keep from trembling, her nails digging so deep into her palms that they
Chapter 483 Winona scoffed. “What the hell are you talking about? You find out I inherited Ms. Chase’s fortune and suddenly you want to claim me as family? Have you no shame p> Her eyes, filled with disgust, swept over the four of them. Old Mr. Shepherd wept openly. Old
