Zach made a comfortable posture and found some fairy tales on his phone. As he half–leaned on the bed, she immediately leaned over and hugged his waist, rubbing her face against his waist and looking up at him, indicating that he could begin.
Zach reached out and touched her soft hair. Then, his magnetic and deep voice sounded, “There was a little girl in the past. Her name was…”
After he finished the first story, the woman in his arms was alreally asleep. He put down the phone, turned off the light, and lay down carefully. Elvira moved slightly and hugged him tighter Zach enveloped her in his arms and kissed her forehead gently.
Thinking of what Rowena had done today, his face darkened. Ever since he had Elvira, he had become much more soft- hearted, which perhaps made those assholes misunderstand that he was vulnerable. He thought, ‘It’s time to give the Miles family a lesson.
In three days, half of the partners of Liam’s company had terminated their cooperation and some of them would rather pay a penalty. The Miles family’s business suffered heavy losses. No matter how stupid he was, Liam couldn’t be unaware that someone was deliberately messing with him behind. He must have offended some big shot.
When he went to ask his old partners why, those people all kept their mouths shut and refused to leak a reason. In the end, a business partner who had worked with him for years hinted that it was related to his family.
Liam felt a blow as if he had been hit by a bolt from the blue. Realizing what was going on, he felt light–headed and weak all over. He had clearly warned Rowena and Sandy not to act recklessly, but they still listened to no persuasion and made stupid big mistakes.
It had only been three days, but so many partners had already terminated their cooperation. Things would probably be even more horrible soon. The career he had worked hard for his entire life was about to be ruined. At the thought of this, Liam felt a dull pain in his chest. Then he angrily told the driver to go home immediately.
Rowena and Sandy were both at home now. Rowena had been dizzy and uncomfortable for the past few days. Sandy was in a bad mood because their plan failed this time. She couldn’t find the hope of being with Zach, so she confined herself at home all day long.
When Liam came back, he asked the servants to call out Rowena and Sandy, who were still wearing their pajamas listlessly, confused that Liam suddenly returned. Sandy asked, “Dad, aren’t you busy? Why do you have time to come home during the day?”
As a workaholic, Liam almost spent one–third of the year on business trips and two–thirds of the time on work. The night was the only chance for him to see his family. Rowena had always been the one to deal with the family matters and made him satisfied.
“Liam, you look pale. Are you feeling unwell?” Rowena asked worriedly.
“What did you do? We have become the enemy of everyone. The company is about to go bankrupt!” Liam angrily slapped the table with a grumpy expression.
Rowena frowned and asked, “Liam, tell me. What happened? Bankrupt? What happened? You’ve been working so hard.”
“Did the two of you offend Zach Gilbert?” Liam asked with a dark expression. Only the Gilbert Group had the ability to get him deprived of all his partners.
They both felt panicked and unnatural. Rowena denied it. “No, we didn’t offend him. I just… I just want my daughter to leave him.”

“Dad, we can’t even see Zach! How could we offend him? Sandy felt very resentful that there was no hope for her to be Zach anymore.
“You’re just foolish! Zach and Elvira are a couple, and you guys are bent on breaking them up. Stop messing around. Now that the company is collapsing, your good life is about to end. Are you satisfied now? Liam was furious that the two stupid women were unaware of their mistakes and even shamelessly looked so self–righteous.
“Liam, calm down. What’s going on? Tell me. What does it have to do with the company? Rowena asked in confusion
“Why don’t you just understand? It’s your good daughter who incited Zach to deal with us. Our family is going to be ruined” Sandy already understood what was going on. But instead of reflecting on herself, she pushed the blame on Rowena as the one who got the family implicated.
“Is that so, Liam? Did Elvira really do that?” Rowena seemed to be in disbelief.
“Which one of you can tell me now what exactly did you do to offend Zach?” Liam only felt a headache coming on. Until now, these two idiots had yet to realize how serious the situation was.
“Dad, don’t blame Mom. She did that for me. She just wanted to fulfill my wish.” Sandy suddenly stood up and spoke for
Rowena.
Touched by her girl’s protection, Rowena waved her hands. “No, Liam, it’s not Sandy’s fault. It was all my idea. I was the one who tricked Elvira. I did it.”
“So what’s going on? Say it!” Liam was extremely frustrated. Even now, those two idiots were still beating around the bush. Seeing that Rowena had shouldered responsibility, Sandy sat down on the sofa and stopped talking. Anyway, it had nothing to do with her anymore.
Rowena told Liam everything she had done and even added, “My plan didn’t succeed. Those two men were crippled and thrown into the police station. Elvira didn’t lose anything! How could she complain and let Zach deal with you?”
Liam was so shocked by her words into silence. “You… think that Elvira shouldn’t be angry just because you didn’t make it? So Zach shouldn’t take revenge on you, right?”
“Of course. I’m her biological mother. And I didn’t even hurt her this time. How could she do that?” Rowena blinked her innocent eyes in confusion.
Liam felt a wave of dizziness. Back then, he felt lucky that he found a stupid and obedient woman who had abandoned her two children and treated his kid as her own. Only now did he realize that Rowena was just purely abnormal. His stupid decision started to backlash.
