Within half a month, the news got about that Jett divorced Ruby.
Ruby was humiliated. To take revenge on Jett, she deliberately exposed a lot of dirty things he had done. In the end, the scandals forced Jett into hiding. Nobody knew where he went.
Vicente took advantage of the situation with John's guidance. Eventually, she turned into the only person on C Island who could compete with Leon.
Vicente had fulfilled her promise and put the interests of the royal family above everything else. Although C Island's turbulent political undercurrents had not calmed down, it seemed to have reached a stable balance.
There would always be another Jett. Everyone had their pursuit, and there would always be those who would do anything to attain fame and fortune.
Vicente could not let down her guard, so she was twice as busy now as before.
She had been doing a lot of interviews, both on television and for the papers, and she had been attending quite a number of banquets, attracting the attention of tens of thousands of people.
Her mother's condition had also been stable. Occasionally, she would sober up, so Vicente took her back to the castle along with her doctor.
Vicente should have been spending her days smiling and celebrating her victory over Jett. She should have laughed at the latest reports about him, but she did not.
There was an indescribable feeling in her heart, so unfathomable and complicated that she could not put a finger on it. She kept wondering why Jett, who had always fought for fame and fortune, was willing to do this for a woman.
'I wonder the same for John. I couldn't understand why a well-known figure like him would give up everything to stay by Nina's side.
I know it is love, but I still don't understand.
Perhaps Jett was right. A person like me would never understand.'
Looking at the endless night, Vicente felt that Jett was stupid for letting himself lose everything for love.
And it was because of Jett's stupidity that she got what she wanted.
On the contrary, John decided to stay on C Island not because he was stupid. When the time was right, he would go back to Lexingport City with Nina, Van, and Don. He would be king of that city again.
The fight of more than a decade between Vicente and Jett had finally come to an end. The hospital had made some progress in the study of M.C., which was almost a breakthrough in technology.
The scorching May sun nestled high above the cloudless sky.
The dazzling sunlight made people unable to fully open their eyes.
Wearing a pair of black sunglasses, Nina walked into the hospital with Don in her arms. Next to her was John with Van in his arms. They looked like a lovely family of four.
In the hospital's conference room sat the expert team, Bruce, Anne, Leon, Vicente, and Noah. Everyone looked very serious.
The experts upfront were explaining the latest research data. They were halfway done when Nina, John, and the kids arrived.
The room suddenly fell silent, and they turned their heads to the newcomers.
John and Nina should be the most eager to see the results, but they showed up late.
As soon as Bruce saw his grandsons, it was difficult for him to keep a serious look. He stood up with a smile.
"Give me the baby."
"Okay." John carefully handed over Van to Bruce.
Behind him, Nina smiled, "Dad, how about Don?"
"I also want to hold him, but I don't have four hands. Let me just hold Van for a while, and then I'll hold Don. That should be fair enough." Smiling from ear to ear, Bruce reached out his fingers, and Van grasped them tightly.
"Give me Don." Anne's face was as cold as snow, but her eyes were as gentle as moonlight on a calm river.
Nina put Don in Anne's arms and said, "Thank you, Mom."
Anne's heart ached. Nina was so casual with her father, yet she was so polite with her mother.
