The person who could elevate the Lopez Corporation to new heights was bound to have more than a few tricks up their sleeve. And if they were willing to take their own mother to court, could Ronin really be blameless?
"That won't do. I can't let Everett think I'm playing him! Dad will have to take the fall this time."
Ronin was out of options. Suddenly, he turned to face the bodyguard standing nearby.
"You, you can vouch for me! It was all her acting!"
The bodyguard, stone-faced, remained silent.
Quincy chuckled, walking over and patting the bodyguard on the shoulder. "You saw everything; you know how important I am to Mr. Lopez! Keep quiet, and this won't involve you, got it?"
"…"
Seeing this, Ronin didn't wait for Everett's people to arrive and immediately turned to run. "This is how you treat your father? You're going to get what's coming to you!"
Quincy lunged forward, grabbing his shirt.
"What's coming to me? Your Caldwell family favors sons over daughters, thinking you can step on me to elevate Simeon. You're the ones who'll face karma!"
"…"
"If you're going to discriminate based on gender, why didn't you just end me when you saw I was a girl at birth?"
It would have saved her from living in constant fear! Tying her fate to a frail being, always wary of Everett's words and actions, did he think she was willing? Everyone just wants to survive!

I don't agree with not letting him in. That just seems cruel and besides wasn't the whole point of getting pregnant again was for him to experience and travel the journey of pregnancy with her?...
Sometimes Karen can be such a drama queen and immature....
For some reason I am now feeling suspicious about Kevin's new girlfriend....

Really please finish this book and upload the full story so it can end. It's been drugout for so long!...
The intimate scenes in this story or uncomfortable to read. They either come off as being forced, painful, or simply not enjoyable....
Okay I left a long while ago and came back. Looks like it's been updated but still not done lol. I'll maybe wait 6 months before coming back and it'll probably still be going on. It's like a soap opera instead of a novel...
Kenneth is confirming something I've been thinking about him for several hundred chapters ago and that is he is a future murder suicide perpetrator. And after reading chapter 1275 yeah it's just brought the thought back....
