hung up the phone. 

“Hurry up. My dad will be out soon, and you won’t be able to see him… Andy shouted loudly and then hung up 

Molly was frustrated. His words had an inexplicable hint of ambiguity. 

Thus, Molly was hurriedly coaxed by five–year–old Andy to Roberts Villa. The Roberts family, known for their scholarly background, had a more inviting estate compared to the Wellington family. It was located in the western suburbs of Havencrest. The area was serene and elegant. Their villa was classically designed. She stood hesitantly in front of the vintage gate and knocked. 

It was said that Scott’s grandfather had been a tenured professor at Princeton. During a time of national turmoil, he abandoned lucrative offeri abroad to return home and contribute significantly to the then–underdeveloped scientific research. Scott’s parents were also professors at a renowned university in the country. 

n to vivid. 

Standing of 

outside the traditional Roberts Villa, Molly imagined a stern maid would answer the door, but reality proved her imagination too 

She stood there knocking furiously, but no one answered, 

Finally, she noticed a communication button above and to the right of the door. Feeling helpless, she pressed the doorbell. It turned out that this vintage villa kept up with the times and used electronic technology 

She finally heard approaching footsteps, and then the heavy door creaked open. She was startled to see the man before her. 

Molly’s mind went blank. She forgot to greet him, just staring at him dumbfounded. 

“Are you lost?” Scott asked, finding her presence barling 

Scott had met Molly before. He knew she was a good friend of Stephanic’s and had participated in projects with the Innovate Group, which he had been involved with. Once, during a meeting, when he had a stomach ache, she had even secretly bought him stomach medicine and placed it on 

desk. 

his 

Despite this, they weren’t close. 

“Ms. Snuggleton, what brings you to my humble place?” Scott: 

ott asked directly, his tone a bit distant 

Molly felt awkward and silently complained, ‘If your place is humble, then mine must be a pigsty. She just didn’t expect Scott to personally–open the door for her. 

Despite his gentlemanly appearance, Scott was very cunning, something she knew well. 

“How is Dominick now? Molly got straight to the point 

“He’s in Serenburg. Scott replied plainly and didn’t try to hide it from her. 

“I know he’s in Serenburg. I mean, when will Dominick be back? Is his illness really that serious…” 

Scott interrupted her, his tone colder. “Ms. Snuggleton, knowing Dominick isn’t an ordinary person, you should also know that talking about his illness carelessly can significantly affect the group’s stock prices” 

Feeling chastised, Molly looked down, feeling guilty. 

If Dominick were indeed seriously ill, it would significantly impact the Innovate Group. Such things couldn’t be discussed. 

“Ms. Snuggleton, turn left, and you’ll be on the highway. If you get lost, use your navigation system. Goodbye, Scott said coldly, not wanting to engage further, and closed the door. 

Molly noticed his reluctance to chat more, watched him close the heavy door, and suddenly felt angry. She felt these upper–class people always had a demeanor of superiority. 

“Stephanic lost her babies,” she shouted i 

in frustration. 

On the other side of the door, Scott froze at her words. 

He didn’t respond immediately, his brow furrowing with weariness. He had just returned from Serenburg and had only just learned about this. Stepluanic had log her twins 

His mood was heavy. It was almost unbelievable, but the cruel reality of the situation was u 

was undeniable. 

Seeing no response from him, Molly grew more agitated. “Stephanie has been through so much, and you all act like you don’t know. It’s been almost half a month, and no one from the Wellington family has checked in. Where is Dominick! If you can contact him, please tell him that Stephanie really wants to see him.” 

Molly’s eyes reddened with urgency as she faced Scott

mburg and can’t come back for now.” 

He rubbed the bridge of his nose wearily and said calmly, “I can’t help with this. Dominick is still in Serenburg 

“When will he be back? Do we really have to wait three months? What if he never comes back? Even if Dominick is busy, he could at least make a phone call, send a text, or video chat on WhatsApp…” Molly’s anger grew, and she shouted, “They’re his wife and children! How can he be so 

heartless?” 

Listening to her accusations, Scott felt increasingly irritated. He coldly dismissed her. “Ms. Snuggleton, you have no right to interfere in these matters. Please leave immediately” 

“Scott, don’t act so superior. I may come from a lower background than you, but I’m not stupid. Molly was furious at his heartless words, tears brunnung in her eyes as she glared at him. “I don’t believe Dominick is critically ill. A man like him, who stands at the pinnacle overseeing the filth and ugliness of power, knows how to strategize better than anyone. He wouldn’t be unprepared. You can’t fool me into thinking he can’t come back. He just doesn’t want to.” 

Scott was stunned, not expecting such words from this seemingly gentle woman. 

Molly’s face was stern. She felt deeply disappointed. She resolved not to seek them out again or ask about Dominick. Time would heal Stephanie, and eventually she would cut ties with him complicly. 

She turned to leave without looking back at Scott. 

Scout watched and was shocked by her anger as she stormed off, feeling like he should say something. He opened his mouth hesitantly. 

Suddenly, a kid ran out of the house and grabbed Molly’s pants, preventing her from leaving. 

Mally stopped and looked down expressionlessly at Andy 

Andy ignored her. kept holding onto her, and then shouted toward the door, “Dad, this is the nanny I found. She can cook for us 

Molly thought, “Nanny! Who wants 

ants to be your nanny? 

She looked at Scott, her expression growing more furious, but Scott seemed to seriously consider his son’s suggestion. 

Knowing his father’s temperament well. Andy continued to persuade, “Grandpa and Grandma are abroad as guest professors. No one is here to cook for us. We might as well hire her for now.” 

He added. “She’s p 

pititul and doesn’t have a job 

“Andy. I really thank you for that” Molly looked down and said through gritted teeth, glaring at Andy. She realized none of them were kind–hearted. 

She put on a fake smile and said to Scott. “Thanks for Andy’s appreciation, but I don’t think I’m up to the task. Goodbye: She emphasized the final word strongly. 

She thought, No, it should be goodbye forever. I have my pride! 

Unfortunately, Molly’s pride only lasted a minute…. 

Scott’s phone suddenly rang. He answered, “Dominick just woke up and hung up after a few brief words. Molly couldn’t hear the conversation clearly but knew Scott had been talking to George from the Wellington Emily. 

She thought to herself, Dominick just woke up‘ Does that mean he’ll be back soon?
