00:00:08don't forget supporting me by buying for me a coffee from the link in the description,

00:00:13or in the first comment, or below the video to motivate me to share all chapters of the book.

00:00:18Also, please don't forget, share the video, comment, and like.

00:00:24Who would care about the truth at this point? The teachers curled their lips disdainfully

00:00:29and said nothing. After all, they had interacted with Mia a lot in school in the past, and Hillary

00:00:36had seemed like a good mother to outsiders. Hillary hadn't dared to do anything too obvious

00:00:41all these years. At the very least, there was still Joel, who had been keeping an eye on her.

00:00:49How would she possibly dare to abuse Maya? Thus, no one had ever considered that Maya might not

00:00:55be her daughter. However, these were the wealthiest private affairs. The teachers didn't

00:01:01dare to make overly arrogant comments either. After all, Mr. Smith could easily just make them

00:01:08lose their jobs. Seeing that no one was saying anything anymore, Tanya didn't bother explaining

00:01:13anything else. After all, the fact that Mia was her daughter was a trump card that Joel was saving

00:01:20for the confrontation in court. Should they reveal it now? Carl might make other arrangements

00:01:26or even straight up send Hillary away. Since no one was saying anything anymore, both parties

00:01:32could just live in peace. In the afternoon, the principal of the kindergarten came up to them with

00:01:39a worried look on his face. He said, Ms. Turner, there are a few reporters outside. Reporters?

00:01:47Tanya narrowed her eyes. In the end, she sighed and said, forget it. I'll go on leave for the

00:01:53next few days. The principal was relieved. Okay. Will you and Mia be leaving together or separately?

00:02:01Tanya thought for a while. She couldn't rest assured, leaving her five-year-old daughter here.

00:02:08Moreover, the two had only just acknowledged each other, so it would be nice to stay at home

00:02:13together for a few days to bond with each other. Therefore, Tanya replied, I will leave with Mia.

00:02:21She entered the classroom and told Mia to come out. Then she decided to leave quietly

00:02:27from the back door to avoid attracting the attention of the reporters at the front door.

00:02:32Unexpectedly, the moment she exited the back door, another group of reporters came forward

00:02:38and surrounded her and Mia. Ms. Turner, what are your thoughts about being called a mistress on

00:02:44the internet? Ms. Turner, are you really a third wheel in someone else's relationship?

00:02:51Why are you forbidding the child's mother from visiting her? Don't you think it's too much of

00:02:56you guys to do that? Ms. Turner, a mother's relationship with her daughter is something

00:03:02you cannot stop or destroy. Mistresses can never completely take the position of a lawful wife.

00:03:08This will not end well for the two of you. Tanya frowned, impressed Mia's head against her chest

00:03:15as she hugged her tightly. In spite of that, a sharp-eyed reporter still spotted her.

00:03:20She immediately pointed the microphone at the child in Tanya's arms and even reached out and

00:03:25tapped the little girl. You must be little Mia, right? Little girl. Do you not want your mother

00:03:33anymore? Mia received a huge fright. There was a timid look in her eyes. She looked over and

00:03:39glanced at the reporter, but Tanya pressed her head back against her chest. Tanya gave the

00:03:45reporter a warning look and said, she's just a child. Don't target her. The rest of the reporters

00:03:52had moral boundaries to some extent, but that particular reporter remained aggressive. It was

00:03:57obvious at one glance that she had been bribed by Hillary. She sneered. Are you afraid that the girl

00:04:04will say that she wants her mother if we ask her questions? Is that why you're not even letting

00:04:10her speak? Ms. Turner, you're too arrogant for a mistress. Tanya wanted to speak, but Mia, who was

00:04:18in her arms, suddenly lifted her head. The little girl had always been timid and a pushover, but in

00:04:25this instant, she wanted to protect her mother. She shouted, I want daddy and mommy. Tanya, you're not

00:04:32allowed to bad mouth mommy. Tanya, a child's reaction was the most genuine. The rest of the

00:04:39reporters were stunned. However, the same reporter said, little girl, where's your conscience? Your

00:04:46mom went through so much to give birth to you after 10 months of pregnancy. Are you going to be an

00:04:53ingrate? What exactly did Tanya Turner give you for you to protect her like this? Or is it because

00:05:00you think that your father is richer and more powerful than your mother, so you want to stay

00:05:05with your father instead? How can you be so practical when you're still a child? Or perhaps

00:05:11you're being threatened by your father or Ms. Turner. Mia had never been questioned like that before.

00:05:18The reporter's questions made her dumbfounded, missed, formed in her eyes, and she cried out

00:05:24while in tears. Sob. Don't scold mommy Tanya anymore. Tanya was infuriated, seeing that the

00:05:32reporter's microphone was about to jab right into Mia's face, and that there was even a camera

00:05:37filming me. She pushed the reporter angrily. Then she grabbed the camera and smashed it onto the

00:05:43ground. Smash. The camera shattered all over the ground. At this point in the distance, the bodyguards

00:05:51and kindergarten security guards, who had sensed something wrong, rushed over and separated Tanya

00:05:57from the reporters. Tanya stared at the reporter and said, don't drag the children in the adult's

00:06:02affairs. I've already said that just now. I've already said that just now. I will compensate

00:06:09you for it. With me and her arms, Tanya strode toward the van nearby. It was only after they got

00:06:16in the car that Tanya finally put me down. The little girl was shaking. Her eyes were all red,

00:06:23and she had tears in them. She asked weakly, mommy, did I do something wrong? Why are those people

00:06:31being so fierce to me? Her words made Tanya's heartache. She thought of the situation just now,

00:06:37and she became so angry that she felt like she was about to explode. She picked up her phone and

00:06:43dialed Joel's number at once. God damn it, I'm going to sue that reporter. When Joel heard her

00:06:50swearing, he asked, what's the matter? After Tanya explained what had happened, Joel's voice was even

00:06:57colder than hers. That reporter is going to jail for life. Joel hurried home and arrived just as

00:07:04Tanya and Maya reached home. It was only when he saw that the two women were safe and sound that

00:07:10he finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, when he saw that both Tanya's and Maya's eyes were all

00:07:17red, Joel's eyes narrowed. Fortunately, the trial would be commencing the next day, so his wife and

00:07:24daughter would no longer have to suffer such grievances. He took a deep breath, took a step

00:07:30forward, and put his arms on Maya's shoulders. He didn't expect the matter to ferment further in the

00:07:36evening, though. His assistant handed his phone to Joel and showed him the news. When he looked at it,

00:07:43he found that the number one trending topic on social media right now was about that reporter.

00:07:48The reporter was crying as she looked into the camera to cameramen and photographers.

00:07:54The camera is tantamount to their life as well as their most precious partner,

00:07:58but Ms. Turner smashed my camera so arrogantly. She also said that the Smiths would compensate me

00:08:05for it, but they instead sued me after that. If it weren't for a certain someone who helped me out,

00:08:12I would probably be under investigation in the police station right now. Even so, I have received

00:08:19a lot of bloody packages in the mail. It is clear that they are threatening me. I am not afraid of

00:08:25threats, and I will fight against the power they hold to the death. I will not succumb to their

00:08:31threats, even if the power they wield is too arrogant and too fearsome. My friends, if you

00:08:38don't see me tomorrow, then it must be because I've been attacked. I don't want to die. Please help me.

00:08:45The video's comment section was full of curses. The wealthy were generally fastidious about

00:08:50handling things in a low-key fashion. Very few would kick up a huge fuss. Hillary was intending

00:08:58to fight a battle of public opinion, so that the judge would sympathize with her more. When they

00:09:03went to court, one could say that she was resorting to very unscrupulous means, just to win the

00:09:09lawsuit. To think the reporter had been released, though from the looks of it, it was Carl who had

00:09:16done something about it. Joel was rather troubled by the amount of influence that Carl had in the

00:09:21States had exceeded his expectations a little. He wasn't really bothered, though. As the head of the

00:09:28Smiths, this bit of trouble was nothing to him. He was just a little worried that Tanya would not be

00:09:34able to take it if she saw the comments. Joel put down the phone and entered the room. The moment he

00:09:40did, he heard Tanya reading out the private messages that random people had sent her.

00:09:46This person says that third wheels and relationships always end up miserable. He's right. A third will,

00:09:53like Hillary, certainly won't have any happiness left. This one says that we bullied the little

00:10:00reporter. Desk, how blind is he? Didn't he see the reporter forcing a kid to answer her questions?

00:10:08And this one. Two, he says that I don't have any class because I hit the reporter.

00:10:16He's right, compared to someone like her, who reprimands others when she doesn't even know the

00:10:22truth. I certainly don't have that much class, but I at least don't have such a high level of

00:10:28ideological consciousness that I would interfere in other people's matters. Joel, he had almost

00:10:35forgotten what kind of family Tanya had grown up in. She had already experienced several flaming

00:10:41wars a long time ago, so she didn't give two hoots about it anymore. Cherry was seated opposite her.

00:10:49Do you need me to scold them for you? God, mom, I'm really good at dissing people.

00:10:55Do you know how to spell what you want to write? Asked Pete Cherry. Pete took the opportunity to

00:11:01persuade her. You should practice your spelling when you have time. We have to study hard, okay?

00:11:08At the mention of studying, Cherry pouted and said, You are not lovable anymore, Pete.

00:11:14Pete sighed. The tyrant was strict with him, but he simply spoiled Cherry too much. This led to

00:11:20Cherry not knowing how to spell a lot of words, even though she was already five. He looked down

00:11:27at his mathematical Olympiad problems that were nearly at high school level and felt that his

00:11:32sister was simply too stupid. Tanya laughed when she saw the two children bicker. The two of you

00:11:39are so. But it's true that you should practice your spellings properly. Cherry Maya can already

00:11:45spell more than 500 words. Cherry curled her lips disdainfully. If I really wanted to do it,

00:11:53I could memorize 500 spellings in a minute. I just don't want to. That's all. Besides,

00:12:01Daddy said that I'm a girl, so I don't have to tire myself out like that. Tanya. She quickly put

00:12:08her arms around Maya and said to her, Don't follow what Cherry does, okay? Maya nodded sensibly.

00:12:15Okay, Mommy. Every time she heard Maya calling her mommy, Tanya's heart would melt a little.

00:12:21She smiled and said, My little baby. Maya is so well. Behaved. Maya's cheeks flushed at once

00:12:30next to them. Cherry stuck out her tongue. You're calling her a little baby when she's already five.

00:12:37God. Mom, you are too mushy. Tanya looked up at her. No matter how old you become to your mothers,

00:12:46all of you will always be children. Cherry tilted her head but didn't refute her this time.

00:12:52At this point, Joel came in and said, Mia is also a girl, so she doesn't need to study that hard.

00:13:00Tanya glared at him. Don't be a slave to your daughter like Mr. Hunt. Besides,

00:13:06Maya is different from Cherry. Cherry was always filled with confidence.

00:13:12Although Nora hadn't said anything about it before, Tanya had nevertheless discovered that

00:13:18the little girl was very smart and could quickly master anything she was learning. As for Mia,

00:13:24perhaps because she had been brought up by Hillary, she was always lacking in confidence.

00:13:29She was always afraid that other people would dislike her or that she wouldn't perform well

00:13:34enough. A person like her would only be confident and have a better future if she became strong.

00:13:41Every child was different. Tanya had specially taken psychology classes before she joined the

00:13:46kindergarten as a teacher. Joel, who had been lectured, touched his nose. Then he said,

00:13:52don't look at the news on the internet anymore. Tanya nodded and tossed the phone aside.

00:13:58I find them very ignorant, too. I read it just now because I wanted to strengthen me

00:14:03as mental resilience. Say, why are they so childish, though? Is it actually that easy

00:14:10to make them think a certain way? Joel replied, they are just a bunch of trolls on the internet.

00:14:16Don't bother yourself with them. Tanya nodded again and said with a smile,

00:14:22there are still people who are supportive of me. For example, for example, the young and popular

00:14:29singer Clement Carter. Joel suddenly raised his eyebrows as he stared at the trending topics on

00:14:34social media on the phone before he shifted his gaze to Tanya. Tanya was taken aback.

00:14:41What's up with Clement? Joel handed her the phone. Only then did Tanya notice that the hashtag

00:14:47Clement Carter speaks up for Tanya. The third wheel was trending. Tanya. When she tapped on

00:14:55the hashtag, she found out that Clement's latest tweet was Clement Carter. Don't just follow the

00:15:00herd. To me, Miss Turner has always been an open and straightforward person. She would never do

00:15:07that sort of thing. I trust her at Tanya. Dances Tanya Clement wasn't a pop star. Rather, he was

00:15:16a singer music artist. His voice was said to hail from the heavens, and he could switch between high

00:15:22pitch and low pitch very easily. Clement enjoyed extremely high international acclaim. He had a

00:15:29rich voice and a very wide vocal range. No matter how difficult the song was, he could easily handle

00:15:36it. At the same time, he was also part of the Carters in New York. The family itself had a

00:15:42very strong artistic background and was a true family of artists. When Tanya saw the verbal abuse

00:15:49he was suffering because he had spoken up for her, she couldn't help but ask, why is he sticking his

00:15:55head out at such a time? The way she spoke sounded as if she was very close to him. Joel asked sourly,

00:16:03does your heart ache because he was scolded, Tanya? She finally noticed the jealous lover in

00:16:08front of her. Tanya burst out laughing and said, it's Clement, you know, it's not like you don't

00:16:14know him. Didn't we play a lot with one another when we were kids? Joel snorted. Tanya said when

00:16:21I left the country, he also went abroad for further studies. We once had a cross-industry

00:16:27artistic collaboration where he sang it. I danced, so we got to know each other better.

00:16:34Joel couldn't help but say, he sings while you dance. That sounds lovely. Tanya burst into loud

00:16:41laughter again. She knew that Joel was not really jealous. Rather, he was just teasing her because

00:16:47he was worried that she would be affected by the remarks on the internet. She pointed at Joel and

00:16:53asked, did someone fill you up with jealousy today? Joel was relieved to see that she was really all

00:16:59right. In the evening, the two of them watched over Mia as they lay on either side of Maya.

00:17:06Joel looked at Tanya and suddenly asked, are you nervous about going to court tomorrow?

00:17:12With Maya in between, Tanya looked back at him, fearing that she might wake Mia. Her voice was

00:17:20very low and soft as she replied, no, I'm not. Joel made a sound of acknowledgement.

00:17:28Tanya thought that he was going to sleep, so she pulled the quilt over herself and closed her eyes.

00:17:33It was summer, so the air conditioner in the room was turned very low. Tanya and Mia shared a quilt

00:17:41while Joel used another quilt when Tanya was about to fall asleep. Joel's soft voice reached

00:17:47her. Don't worry, Tanya. I will definitely make Hillary pay for what she did. Surprised, Tanya

00:17:54turned to Joel in the dark. She could see a cold look in his eyes. He didn't raise his voice, but it

00:18:02was as if there was power in his words. I won't let anyone bully the two of you anymore. Tanya pressed

00:18:08her lips together. Her eyes reddened and sorrow welled up in her. When she was young, she had

00:18:15tried her best and given her all for love, but she hadn't known how to love. She would kick up a huge

00:18:22fuss whenever she met with the slightest bit of unhappiness and often threatened to break up

00:18:27whenever they quarreled. It was as if she was fearless. It's only when one recovers what they

00:18:33have lost that they finally discover how precious the love is. She suddenly hated her past self.

00:18:40Why had she called Joel when she saw the photo? Why hadn't she gone to him with the photo and

00:18:45asked him for a clear explanation? If she had asked him for an explanation and if he hadn't

00:18:52said those hurtful words in a flash of anger, the two of them might not have let these five years

00:18:57pass them by like that. Mia probably would not have been lost either. Tanya suddenly reached over

00:19:04past Maya. She fumbled around and then held Joel's hand. This time, she would never let go.

00:19:12When they exited the bedroom after waking up the next day, they saw Justin coming out of Nora's

00:19:17bedroom. Joel subconsciously asked, last night, you? I slept in the guest room. The beauty mark

00:19:25at the corner of Justin's eye shimmered as he replied politely. I just went in to see if she

00:19:31is awake. Joel breathed a sigh of relief. Sensing that he had made a mountain out of a mole hill

00:19:38just now, he coughed and said, oh, I wasn't suspecting you of taking the opportunity to

00:19:44take advantage of her. I just wanted to ask if you slept well last night. Justin glanced at him

00:19:51but didn't expose his brother-in-law's thoughts. After all, his father-in-law still disliked him

00:19:56for some strange reason. At the moment, he needed his brother-in-law's help.

00:20:02Justin nodded. I slept pretty well. I'll come to the court with you guys later.

00:20:08Joel said, actually, you don't have to go to so much trouble. We've already prepared everything

00:20:14we need in court today. Justin coughed. I'm going for Nora, lest she gets angry when she wakes up

00:20:21and finds out that I haven't shown enough concern. Joel. The corners of his lips spasmed a little.

00:20:29He suddenly felt that his brother-in-law was getting more and more thick-skinned.

00:20:34The group of people left the house, split up, and got into a few cars. Soon, they arrived at the

00:20:41court entrance. As soon as they got out of the car, Hillary rushed out from somewhere and went

00:20:46straight up to the two of them before they even entered the court. Behind Hillary was a large

00:20:52number of reporters. Thud! Hillary knelt right in front of Tanya and Joel. Her eyes were red as she

00:20:59said, Mr. Smith, Tanya, I can give the two of you my blessing and withdraw from the relationship,

00:21:06but you can't do this to me. Please, I beg you, give my daughter back to me. Maya is everything

00:21:13to me. The reporters whipped out their cameras and started snapping away. Tanya and Joel looked

00:21:20at each other. Joel said, Miss Jones, the court has the final say today, so please get up. Hillary,

00:21:28however, was crying very badly. I was wrong. Mr. Smith, I shouldn't have pestered you.

00:21:36And I should have withdrawn from the relationship myself. But you can't just drive me out of the

00:21:42country. Maya was once part of my body. You can't just separate me from my daughter like this.

00:21:50I believe that Mia wouldn't be willing to leave her mother either. Where's Mia? Mia? She looked

00:21:56behind the two of them. Some of the reporters also looked behind them. They immediately asked,

00:22:03where's the child? Yeah, Mr. Smith, the court instructed you to bring Miss Smith with you

00:22:09because they may ask the child some questions. Did you not bring the child with you? You're too

00:22:15much. Hillary cried even harder. I haven't seen Maya for a week, Mr. Smith. I just want to see

00:22:22the girl. Just a look would do. Joel and Tanya exchanged a look. Tanya lowered her gaze when

00:22:29she thought of all the pain she had suffered during those five years and how reserved and

00:22:34timid Mia was every time she mentioned her mother. A wave of anger surged up in her, how she wished

00:22:42she could rip Hillary's face apart and cut her into shreds to think she still had the cheek to

00:22:47mention the child. Tanya slowly said, Hillary, you'll never see the child ever again for the

00:22:54rest of your life. After saying that, she held Joel's arm and the two of them walked straight

00:23:00into the court. Hillary's tragic and miserable sobs rang out outside. Tanya, how can you do this

00:23:07to me? How can you do this to me? How can you, my daughter? I just want my daughter. The reporters

00:23:15around them did not dare to approach Tanya and Joel. After all, they were outside the court.

00:23:20Thus, they surrounded Hillary. Miss Jones, how confident of winning the lawsuit are you, Miss

00:23:26Jones? Did you file a lawsuit for money or for your daughter? Hillary got up. She wiped the

00:23:35tears from her eyes and wept as she said to the camera, I don't want money. I don't want anything

00:23:41except my daughter. With a sad and pitiful look in her eyes, she said, I know I'm unemployed at

00:23:47the moment, but the Joneses are also rich. I received dividends from the Joneses company.

00:23:56I'm also willing to work for my daughter's sake. My daughter is everything to me. I can withdraw

00:24:02from the love triangle, but my daughter is innocent. She burst into tears. Please, everyone

00:24:09help me. Help me get my daughter back. She wept fiercely. Her tears made the audience watching

00:24:16the live broadcast full of pity and heartache for her. For a time, public opinion completely

00:24:23took her side. Everyone was cursing Tanya and Joel in the comments of the live stream.

00:24:29What makes Tanya think she can take such an aggressive attitude against Hillary?

00:24:34She's so shameless. Ah, that site pisses me off so much. Hillary must win this lawsuit.

00:24:42Otherwise, none of us will accept the outcome. Yes, the judiciary should not outweigh feelings.

00:24:49We will fight alongside you in this lawsuit. Hillary cried so badly that she had to be

00:24:55helped into the court in the end. Outsiders were not allowed to enter the lounge at the back.

00:25:01As soon as Hillary entered, she ran head on into Tanya. She cast her eyes down and said sadly,

00:25:09Tanya, I can give you Joel, but not me. I will definitely win the lawsuit because she already

00:25:15had the upper hand in public opinion. Tanya stared at Hillary. Never would she have ever expected

00:25:22that the woman who had merely bullied and humiliated her a little five years ago would

00:25:28actually go as far as to steal her child. She had only been slightly under 20 years old at that time.

00:25:35Hillary resembled Jill a lot, but she and Tanya didn't really look alike. Her temper and personality

00:25:43were also similar to Jill's. This must be one of the reasons why Jill had preferred Hillary and

00:25:49disliked Tanya ever since they were kids, right? With that in mind, Tanya sneer, we won't know

00:25:56until we reach the end. Hillary's eyes flickered at this moment. Jill, who had entered a moment

00:26:03later than Hillary, spotted the two of them. She immediately charged over, stretched out her arm,

00:26:09and slapped Tanya across her cheek. You little bitch, who told you you could come back to the

00:26:16States? It's all your fault that things have come to this point. Tanya took a step back.

00:26:24She was no longer the little girl from the past who couldn't fight back. She sneered,

00:26:29We're at the court. Mrs. Jones, please show some respect or else I will see you.

00:26:35Jill was furious. Who are you calling Mrs. Jones? I am your mother. Tanya gave her a mocking smile.

00:26:43Really? But didn't you already tell me a long time ago that you've severed ties with me?

00:26:49She took out her cell phone and played an audio recording. It was from five years ago when she

00:26:55was pregnant overseas. It was hard for her to find a job at that time. So she had bitten the

00:27:02bullet and approached Jill to ask for a bit of money for living expenses. Jill's voice was very

00:27:08calm in the recording. Three thousand. What are you thinking? I can buy a handbag with that money.

00:27:15Besides, you are already an adult, so I am not obligated to pay for your tuition fees.

00:27:22Think of a solution yourself. Didn't you work part-time during college for your tuition fees?

00:27:28Didn't you say that you will never use even a cent of my money when you were a kid?

00:27:33From now on, I will take it that I have never had a daughter like you. While you have never had me

00:27:39as a mother, I hope we will never see each other ever again. Those few lines of hers had severed

00:27:46the mother-daughter relationship between Tanya and her. This was also why Tanya had never been

00:27:52to the Joneses, despite so much time passing since her return to the States. When Jill heard the

00:27:57recording, she sneered. Huh. What an ingrate you are to think you remember those things I said so

00:28:04clearly. Never mind if you don't want to bear the responsibility of supporting me in old age,

00:28:10because I have never once counted on you to do that either. But how could you turn around and

00:28:15bully us so maliciously? Tanya looked at her and Hillary. She couldn't help but retort,

00:28:21who exactly is bullying whom here? Her simple one-liner made Hillary and Jill exchange a look.

00:28:27Jill then yelled angrily, doesn't matter who. The one bullying the other is you are the one

00:28:33who's targeting the Joneses. Now you'd best agree to settle in private while the trial has yet to

00:28:39start. Otherwise, I will make you pay. No one knew what gave her the confidence to say something

00:28:47like that. When Tanya wanted to reply, Joel asked, how do you intend to make her pay? His words made

00:28:55Jill choke. Joel came over, put his arm around Tanya's shoulder and looked at Jill. Mrs. Jones,

00:29:02may I ask, what are you planning to do to my fiancé? Jill was shocked. When did the two of

00:29:09you get engaged? Joel cast his eyes down. You don't have to bother yourself with that, Mrs. Jones.

00:29:16I think the two of you should use this time to discuss the case with each other,

00:29:20instead of glaring at and saying mean things to my fiancé. When Jill wanted to reply,

00:29:28Mr. Jones strode over and grabbed both Jill and Hillary. He smiled and said to Joel, look at how

00:29:34big a fuss this has become. Mr. Smith, it's all because the kids are so insensible. Please forgive

00:29:41us. Joel did not say any more. He dragged Tanya back to the lounge. After the two of them went in,

00:29:50Mr. Jones flew into a rage as he stared at Jill and Hillary. Can the two of you stop creating so

00:29:56much trouble? We are already about to go to court, so stop provoking them and making trouble in

00:30:03private. Hillary curled her lips disdainfully. Dad, all you know is to blame me whenever we

00:30:10run into trouble. They are obviously the ones in the wrong. You're just afraid of Mr. Smith's power,

00:30:16right? But you don't have to be anymore. Jill raised her chin slightly at Hillary's words,

00:30:22and she also said impatiently to Mr. Jones. All right, that's enough. Carl has already agreed to

00:30:30intervene, so nothing will go wrong. Mr. Jones stared at the two women and pointed at them

00:30:36angrily. Carl will eventually leave. Once he leaves, the Smiths have ten-o-one ways to make

00:30:44us pay. The two of you have created so much trouble for the Joneses. However, Jill and Hillary

00:30:51completely ignored him and even curled their lips disdainfully. Jill even said if worse comes to

00:30:58worst, the whole family can just migrate to Switzerland. Carl has both power and authority

00:31:04over there so he can protect us. Mr. Jones, he stared at Jill and shouted angrily, migrate to

00:31:11Switzerland. The way I see it, it's more like you and him are still in love, isn't it? Afraid that

00:31:18others would overhear what he had said, Mr. Jones turned and left angrily. Hillary stared at him

00:31:25from the back and pursed her lips. She said, look at him, mom. Why do I have such a pushover of a

00:31:33father? He doesn't even have the courage to stand up for his daughter. If only Carl was my father.

00:31:40Jill's eyes flickered the moment she said that she patted Hillary and said, don't talk nonsense,

00:31:45don't talk nonsense. Then she and Hillary entered the lounge. Soon it was time for the trial.

00:31:52Both parties entered the courtroom and sat opposite each other. Carl had found a very

00:31:57famous lawyer for Hillary. After both parties took their seats, the judge asked the plaintiff

00:32:03to speak. The attorney immediately stood up and said reproachfully, Mr. Smith, where is Miss

00:32:11Maya Smith? The court had instructed you to bring her here so that she can be asked whether she

00:32:17wants to stay with her father or her mother. Why didn't you bring her? He looked at the judge and

00:32:23went on. Or is it because you have no respect for the court at all and think you can do whatever

00:32:29you want because of the Smith's power? It has been very long since my client last saw her daughter.

00:32:36By separating mother and daughter from each other and showing no respect for the court,

00:32:41your actions are simply atrocious, as Hillary had made a huge fuss and blown up the lawsuit

00:32:47before the trial. Everyone was afraid that the Smiths would bribe the judge,

00:32:53so they had vehemently demanded a live stream of the court proceedings.

00:32:58After giving it some thought, the court had agreed to the public's request.

00:33:02Therefore, the trial was currently being broadcast live. People were commenting fiercely in the live

00:33:09stream. Isn't he showing too little respect to the law? He's so arrogant, but with so many of

00:33:16us watching, the court won't cover up for the Smiths. Amid the discussion, the judge frowned.

00:33:22After all, the fact that Joel had not brought me along had gone against their wishes.

00:33:29His actions were indeed rather disrespectful of the court. He frowned. At this point,

00:33:35the defendant's attorney stood up. When the people watching the live stream saw the lawyer stand,

00:33:42all of them started ranting in the comments that lawyer has no conscience. How can he help the

00:33:47Smiths in this lawsuit? Who knows how much money the Smiths have given him? I heard that lawyer has

00:33:54never lost any of his cases. He's definitely going to lose the one today, right? Mr. Lawyer,

00:34:01can you have a bit of a conscience? How can you help the Smiths bully a weak and helpless woman?

00:34:08I'm so disappointed in you. I hope the lawyer dies together with his whole family.

00:34:14Hillary and her attorney next to her were also paying attention to the happenings online.

00:34:20In addition, there were also people constantly keeping the judge up to date about the people's

00:34:25opinions. After all, he had to take the people's opinions into consideration to the judge's side

00:34:32when he heard that everyone was taking the plaintiff's side. It would probably be very

00:34:37difficult for the defendant to win the case. This time, while he was thinking about it,

00:34:43the defendant's attorney said, Your Honor, members of the jury, first of all, I would

00:34:49like to explain the relationship between my client and the plaintiff. He walked out from

00:34:55behind the desk, looked at Hillary and said, according to my investigations, Mr. Joel Smith

00:35:02and Miss Tanya Turner have been in love since they were in junior high, and their relationship

00:35:07continued even after they entered college. They are recognized by everyone as a model couple.

00:35:14Mr. Smith and Miss Turner's classmates can testify to this. The plaintiff will not deny this right.

00:35:21Hillary narrowed her eyes. Her attorney stood up and said, That has nothing to do with the case.

00:35:28After all, a lot of people's first relationships do not last. Does every spouse have to give way

00:35:35to their partner's first love just because they have returned? Be it true love or his inability

00:35:41to forget his previous lover, it is no reason or excuse for Mr. Smith to cheat on and betray Miss

00:35:48Jones. His answer was very well-worded. A whole row of thumbs-ups appeared in the comments.

00:35:55That lawyer said it. No matter what, they have already broken up back then.

00:36:01To put it bluntly, even if Jones was the third wheel in Turner and Smith's relationship back

00:36:07then, the two of them have already had a child together. Tanya Turner shouldn't have come back.

00:36:14I've just imagined a big story about Turner coming back for revenge. Don't say any more.

00:36:20Let's listen to them instead. What if the reason for Turner and Smith's breakup back then wasn't

00:36:26Jones? Almost at the same time, the comment appeared, the defendant's attorney said,

00:36:33Of course. My client requested that I make this clear in the courtroom, in front of the judge and

00:36:39everyone in the country, because he doesn't want Miss Turner to be called a third wheel.

00:36:44The plaintiff's lawyer couldn't help but laugh when he heard what he said. He looked straight

00:36:49at the judge and said, Objection. Your Honor, that has nothing to do with the case. What we

00:36:56are here to talk about is Miss Maya Smith's custody and not who the real third wheel of

00:37:01their relationship is. Tanya, who was seated in the defendant's dock, was surprised. She turned

00:37:09and looked at Joel. The two of them had agreed that they would immediately lay out sufficient

00:37:14evidence at the beginning of the trial and change her status from the defendant to the plaintiff.

00:37:19She hadn't expected her attorney to actually walk out and say something like that.

00:37:24Was Joel trying to clear her name? The plaintiff's attorney looked at the defendant's attorney,

00:37:29as well as Joel and Tanya, who were seated in the dock. He said, Even if my client had been

00:37:35the third wheel in your relationship back then, she did not break the law. Moreover,

00:37:40she even gave birth to a daughter for Mr. Smith. As a mother, she has the right and duty to raise

00:37:47her child. The defendant's attorney looked straight at the judge. Your Honor, I mention

00:37:53the past because this case can no longer be looked at normally. Humans are creatures of emotion.

00:38:00When everyone is censoring my client, I have the right to defend them. I asked the court for

00:38:07permission to explain things clearly to everyone. The judge looked at Hillary and then at Tanya

00:38:13and Joel. At last, he nodded. Permission granted. The defendant's attorney looked straight at

00:38:19Hillary. You were the third wheel and Mr. Smith and Ms. Turner's relationship back then.

00:38:26Do you admit to this? Hillary curled her lips disdainfully. They were just dating back then.

00:38:33It's not like they were married. So you can't say that I was the third wheel at all. Mr. Smith

00:38:39and I were also really in love back then. Is that so? The defendant's attorney couldn't help but

00:38:46smile. But as far as I know, even though you claim that you have given birth to a daughter for Mr.

00:38:53Smith, the two of you did not become engaged or hold a wedding. Moreover, Mr. Smith also signed

00:39:00an agreement with you back then. The agreement says that once Miss Smith is five years old,

00:39:06Mr. Smith will terminate his marriage agreement with you, and the two of you will regain your

00:39:11respective freedom. Accordingly, the Smiths will take care of the Joneses' business during those

00:39:17five years. Once the agreement is terminated, Miss Maya Smith's custody is to go to Mr. Smith.

00:39:25Therefore, can I interpret this as a transaction? Except that Miss Jones intends to go back on her

00:39:32word. Hillary was rendered speechless. The people in support of Hillary in the comments were also

00:39:39stunned. For a while, they didn't quite know what to say. In that case, it seems that the Smiths

00:39:47aren't in the wrong. But isn't it too much to prevent the mother from seeing her daughter?

00:39:52The plaintiff's attorney stood up. The relationship between a mother and her daughter cannot be

00:39:58described as a transaction. Miss Jones is not a surrogate mother. That agreement was illegal from

00:40:05the start. Besides, as Miss Smith's mother, Miss Jones has visitation rights. He glanced at Hillary.

00:40:13Hillary immediately got the hint before they came here. The two of them had already discussed how

00:40:18they should deal with the agreement. Hillary immediately started to weep. Yes, that's why I

00:40:24want to ask the court for help in mediation. It was my first time being a mother back then.

00:40:30The Smiths are too powerful, so I had no other choice. But during the last five years where my

00:40:36daughter and I were dependent on each other, we have already developed strong feelings for each

00:40:41other. How can one control their own emotions? Your Honor, what kind of agreement can stop a

00:40:48mother from seeing her own children? She then started to cry bitterly. Please, Mr. Smith, give

00:40:55me a way out. I've already fallen into depression because I can't see my daughter. The plaintiff's

00:41:01lawyer immediately produced a diagnostic report for depression. This is my client's diagnostic

00:41:07report. She misses her daughter too much. I hope the court can be considerate toward her difficulties.

00:41:15At the site, everyone in the Commons suddenly started to sympathize with Hillary again.

00:41:21The Smiths are simply too cold-blooded. The richer people are, the more domineering they become.

00:41:28They don't care for people's feelings at all. How can they let the child grow up in a family like

00:41:33that? Exactly. It is not right to stop a mother from meeting her daughter. How can they do that?

00:41:41The Smiths are too much. The child's mother is already depressed. She's so pitiful. She just

00:41:48wants to see her child. What's so wrong about that? Who knows? Maybe the Smiths had threatened

00:41:55her into signing the agreement back then. My God, look at where the defendants are.

00:42:01Turner and Smith are completely expressionless, even when they saw Jones crying so badly.

00:42:07They are so heartless. Capitalists are the worst. Yes, they are too inhumane.

00:42:14The child may not understand anything right now, but she will hate them once she grows up and

00:42:20realizes the truth. Everyone's words and the stances they took were conveyed to the judge.

00:42:26The judge glanced at the defendants. They had completely lost the public support.

00:42:31However, at the defendant's dock, Tanya was still glaring at Hillary furiously while Joel

00:42:37was expressionless. Even their attorney looked completely calm, as if he was not moved by

00:42:43Hillary's cries at all. He lowered his gaze and asked the defendants, what else do you have to

00:42:49say? Joel and Tanya exchanged a look. Tanya had a firm look in her eyes, but her eyes were gradually

00:42:56turning red. Joel turned to the attorney and nodded at him. Following the nod, the defendant's

00:43:03attorney suddenly walked out from behind the desk and looked at the judge. Your Honor, I have a

00:43:09piece of evidence I'd like to submit. The judge nodded. The defendant's lawyer handed over two

00:43:15documents. The judge was shocked when he saw the documents and his expression changed drastically.

00:43:22He glanced at Tanya with a complicated look in his eyes and then looked at Hillary with a frown.

00:43:29Disgust flashed across his eyes in the comments. Everyone was speculating, what evidence is that?

00:43:36It actually made the judge's expression totally change. Oh no, the way he's looking at Smith and

00:43:43Turner isn't that cold anymore. Could it be that they didn't submit evidence but a check just now?

00:43:50How can they bribe the judge so openly? They are too much. They are too much. Hillary glanced at

00:43:58the comments out of the corner of her eye when she saw that all the comments were siding with her.

00:44:03The corners of her lips curled up slightly. However, it was at this moment that the defendant's

00:44:10attorney slowly said, Your Honor, members of the jury, on behalf of my client, Ms. Tanya Turner,

00:44:17I shall now file a lawsuit against Ms. Hillary Jones for maliciously stealing Ms. Turner's child

00:44:23five years ago. This led to my client being separated from her daughter for as long as

00:44:29five years. May the law impose the most severe sanction on Ms. Jones. I demand that Ms. Jones

00:44:36compensate my client for emotional damages as well as damages for material losses incurred while

00:44:42searching for her daughter for the last five years. His words caused a furor to go through

00:44:47everyone. Hillary got up abruptly and looked at them in disbelief. What did they say just now?

00:44:55How could this be? How did she know? She understood Tony very well because she loved

00:45:02Joel too much. She would never tell him that she had lost her child. After all, who wouldn't be

00:45:09miserable about losing their child? But if it wasn't her who had brought it up, Joel would never

00:45:15imagine that Mia might be Tanya's daughter. So how did they realize the truth? Terribly shocked,

00:45:22she stared in front of her in astonishment. At the same time, countless question marks also flashed

00:45:29across the comments. The plaintiff's attorney was dumbfounded while the comments were being

00:45:34filled with question marks. He asked, what nonsense are you saying? The defendants know

00:45:40the defendant had already turned into the plaintiff. At this point, the attorney looked straight at

00:45:46Hillary as a lawyer. He had always been calm when handling cases, but when he realized the truth,

00:45:54even he couldn't help but subconsciously become angry. When he looked at the woman, he spoke

00:46:00loudly and forcefully. The evidence in the judge's and the jury's hands can prove whether

00:46:05I'm talking nonsense or not. The evidence consists of two reports. One is a DNA test report conducted

00:46:13for Ms. Turner and Ms. Mia Smith, and the other is proof that Ms. Jones had stolen the baby on the

00:46:19day that Ms. Turner gave birth. Ms. Jones had booked a return ticket from Switzerland, even

00:46:26though she went there by herself. She had returned with a baby. His words made Hillary's

00:46:33attorney dumbfounded. Before the trial, attorneys would typically probe into their client's private

00:46:39affairs in order to prevent the other party from producing surprise evidence that they weren't

00:46:44prepared for. Therefore, Hillary had even told her attorney the truth about her being the third wheel

00:46:51in Joel and Tanya's relationship beforehand. That was why the attorney hadn't even once accused

00:46:56Tanya of being the third wheel in Hillary's family, for fear that the other party would

00:47:01take advantage of it to counter-attack. Never would he have ever expected such an

00:47:06unbelievable plot twist. The plot twist was simply too big. The lawsuit between Hillary

00:47:13and Joel had turned straight into one about Hillary's crime. They had evidence that she

00:47:18had stolen their child. He didn't doubt the authenticity of the evidence because the judge

00:47:24and the others would undoubtedly verify it. He was just staring at Hillary in shock,

00:47:30astonishment, and disbelief. In this instant, he could even feel his career as an attorney ending.

00:47:38Seeing that her attorney wasn't saying anything but just staring at her, Hillary panicked. She

00:47:44suddenly stood up. I didn't do anything like that. That's total nonsense. Tanya's eyes narrowed as

00:47:51she looked at her. The evidence can prove whether or not I am talking nonsense. The DNA test shows

00:47:58that Mia and I have a 99 DNA match. These numbers could never lie. Hillary swallowed and looked at

00:48:06the gallery. Carl and Jill were seated in the gallery. A somewhat incredulous Jill stood up

00:48:12abruptly when the plot twist came. She subconsciously looked at Carl. Carl, who also

00:48:18seemed stunned by the plot twist, looked at Jill with a puzzled look. Jill swallowed. She was about

00:48:26to say something when Justin, who was sitting behind Carl, suddenly said, Mr. Moore, I'm sure

00:48:33you must know the truth of the matter by now. Wouldn't it be rather unreasonable if you continue

00:48:38to help Hillary Jones fight for the child's custody? Carl choked. He had only helped Jill

00:48:44and stood up for her on account of their past relationship. After all, if Hillary was Mia's

00:48:51mother, the Smiths' actions would indeed be going too far. But now, if he continued to help Hillary

00:48:59fight for the child, then wouldn't he just be making trouble for no reason? He coughed and

00:49:05replied, of course the assassin organization is not unreasonable. Justin nodded. Then he

00:49:12immediately looked at Mr. Jones, who was seated nearby. Jill, the astonishment in his eyes didn't

00:49:20seem to be fake, and he looked like he wasn't aware of his daughter's actions at all. He slowly said,

00:49:26Mr. Jones, are the Joneses still supportive of Hillary's fight for the child's custody,

00:49:33given how even Carl wasn't going to help anymore? There was no way Mr. Jones would have the guts to

00:49:40step forward either. He shook his head and stammered, and Mr. Hunt, I really didn't know

00:49:46about what Hillary did. She did it all by herself. It has nothing to do with the Joneses. Jill looked

00:49:54at Mr. Jones furiously. How can you say that? She's your daughter. Is that how you should be

00:50:00treating Hillary? And annoyed, Mr. Jones retorted, even if she's my daughter, I still didn't expect

00:50:07her to actually do something like that. She stole someone else's child. How can she do that?

00:50:14The furious Jill panicked. Even so, you can't just ignore her. Surely you can't just watch

00:50:20as she goes to jail. Justin didn't say anything else. Instead, he looked at the stand. From the

00:50:27looks of it, it seemed that neither Carl nor Mr. Jones were intending to help anymore. In that case,

00:50:34Jill and Hillary would no longer be able to make any more trouble on the judge's bench.

00:50:40The judge and the jury were already looking at one another. The judge then looked at Hillary.

00:50:47There is substantial evidence in my hands, and there are both witnesses and physical evidence

00:50:52against you. What else do you have to say? Hillary knew that what's done is done at this point,

00:50:58and that there was nothing she could do anymore to save herself. She looked straight at Tanya.

00:51:04In the end, she yelled shamelessly, I didn't steal the child. I did go abroad, and I did go to

00:51:10Switzerland. But I found the child somewhere. It was. It was Tanya who abandoned her child.

00:51:18Yes, that's it. Your honor, you can't convict me. I saved that child's life. In fact, you should be

00:51:26holding Tanya responsible for abandoning her newborn baby. Everyone was stunned. They hadn't

00:51:33expected that Hillary would still say such things at this point. Even her attorney had shut up and

00:51:39was unwilling to defend her anymore. The judge looked at Tanya and Joel. Tanya's eyes were red

00:51:45and she did not speak. Joel's jaw was clenched tightly, and he had lost the usual smile on his

00:51:51face. Their attorney stood where he was ensnared. Ms. Jones, I didn't expect you to be so stubborn.

00:51:59It seems like you're someone who holds out hope until faced with the grim reality.

00:52:04Your honor, I have a few pieces of evidence here that will prove that she had indeed stolen the

00:52:09baby that day. She went to the hospital where Ms. Turner had given birth and bribed two nurses

00:52:16in the hospital. That was how she had successfully stolen the baby from the hospital. Also, your honor,

00:52:24these are financial accounts detailing how much money and effort my client, Ms. Tanya Turner,

00:52:30spent in order to search for her child over the years. Your honor, as you can see,

00:52:37Ms. Jones shows no sign of taking the initiative to plead guilty. Even now, I implore you to punish

00:52:44her severely in accordance with the law. The more Hillary refused to plead guilty in the case where

00:52:49evidence was conclusive, the less likely she would receive mercy in court. Her stubbornness was,

00:52:56on the contrary, a positive for Tanya. The judge frowned, and the way he looked at Hillary changed.

00:53:03Hillary's legs went limp, and she fell onto the chair. She hadn't expected them to still be able

00:53:09to find evidence of her bribing the nurses when two years had already gone by. On top of that,

00:53:16they even managed to get the two nurses to testify as witnesses. It was all over. Everything was over.

00:53:23Tanya's attorney was still speaking. He said, your honor, my client is a dancer with a sizable

00:53:30income, but every year, she pays most of her money to private detectives to engage them in

00:53:36search for her child. The millions of dollars she spends on the search each year are nearly the

00:53:41entirety of her income. If she had really abandoned the child, why would she spend that much money

00:53:47searching for her child? Ms. Jones is still slandering my client, even at this point. Not

00:53:54only that, but she even bribed reporters to create public pressure on my client in an attempt

00:54:00to reverse the lawsuit's outcome. I implore the judge to take serious action against her.

00:54:06As the attorney's loud and powerful words rang out, the courtroom fell silent. After discussion,

00:54:12the judge finally announced, given the severity of Ms. Hillary Jones' crime in stealing the child

00:54:19and the fact that she shows no intention of pleading guilty, let alone any sign of remorse,

00:54:24we will submit the case to the judiciary and have the attorney general's office bring

00:54:29charges against her so that they may give her the maximum sentence possible.

00:54:35Upon hearing that, Hillary slumped onto the chair. The maximum sentence was thirty years

00:54:41of imprisonment. Thirty years by the time she came out of prison, thirty years later,

00:54:47she would be old. No, she didn't want to go to jail. The court had its own procedures.

00:54:54The court hearing today was for Joel and Hillary's fight for the custody of their daughter.

00:55:01Therefore, the case was closed without even the need for a full trial. Hillary was arrested on

00:55:06the spot. She would be under the judiciary's supervision while she waited for her next

00:55:12court hearing. The comments in the livestream had undergone a complete reversal. Everyone was

00:55:18censoring Hillary. My God. That's so disgusting. She's so wicked. Let me give everyone a summary

00:55:27of what happened. Not only was Jones the third wheel in their relationship, but she even stole

00:55:33their baby and claimed that she had given birth to her, and now she is actually fighting them

00:55:39for custody of the girl. She's so wicked. That woman is beyond salvation. The fact that Turner

00:55:46has been searching for her daughter for so many years has suddenly moved me so much. I apologize

00:55:53for the derogatory remarks I made against Turner when I wasn't aware of the truth. I also apologize.

00:56:01A woman like Hillary Jones should be sentenced to death. Yes, not only did she steal a child,

00:56:07but she even thinks that she's right. In doing so, she shows no signs of repentance at all.

00:56:14If she isn't sentenced to the death penalty, then she should at least be sentenced to life in prison.

00:56:21People like her should spend the rest of their life in jail. I agree with a life imprisonment

00:56:26sentence. Thirty years is too little. I agree with a life imprisonment sentence. I agree with

00:56:34the previous comment, plus one, plus, plus my cell phone number, plus my ID number. The public

00:56:41opinion reversed in an instant, and the people took Tanya's side. When the handcuffed Hillary

00:56:46was being led away, Jill rushed over and hugged her. Let go of my daughter. Let go of her.

00:56:54The sobbing Hillary yelled, Mom, save me. Save me. I don't want to go to jail. Sob, Dad.

00:57:01Save me. However, even after the two of them cried their eyes out, none of the police officers

00:57:07were moved. They dragged Hillary out. Jill was stunned to the spot. The next moment, she grabbed

00:57:15Hillary's attorney and shouted furiously, Why didn't you say anything just now? We paid money

00:57:20to hire you. Why didn't you defend my daughter? The attorney said with a sense of resignation,

00:57:28Mrs. Jones, it was stated clearly in our contract that the client is not to conceal

00:57:34any information related to the case. Are you actually demanding an explanation for me when

00:57:40your daughter had such an important matter for me? He was also rather angry. Besides,

00:57:47if I had known that the child was stolen from someone else, I would never have taken up the

00:57:51case. I have children, too. People like her should go to jail. Jill retorted furiously.

00:57:58You're the one who should go to jail. You trash lawyer. The attorney sighed and said, All right,

00:58:05I'm not going to argue with you anymore. I just want to tell you this now. You and Hillary were

00:58:10the ones who directed public opinion on the case right now. She shall have to undergo the backlash.

00:58:17Jill was taken aback. What do you mean? Previously, the two of you created a buzz to make

00:58:23people take your side in order to put pressure on the court. But all of those people are furious

00:58:29now. They are now strongly demanding that your daughter be sentenced to death. Under such

00:58:35circumstances, I'm afraid your daughter will be sentenced to life imprisonment, at the least for

00:58:42her malicious actions. Life imprisonment. Jill stared straight ahead of her blankly.

00:58:49When she heard those two words, she stared at the lawyer incredulously. She just stole a child.

00:58:56That's all. What kind of nonsense are you spouting? Seeing that she was being so unreasonable,

00:59:02the attorney didn't want to talk to her anymore. He merely shook his head and turned to leave.

00:59:08At the site, Jill grabbed his arm and said, Don't go. Tell me how I can save my daughter.

00:59:14Tell me. The attorney sneered. Is there even any hope of salvation left for someone like your

00:59:20daughter? What's the point of saving her and bringing her out of prison? So that she can

00:59:26steal other people's children? Even if you offer three times the remuneration, no one will take

00:59:33up your case anymore, let alone me, unless they don't wish to work in this line of business

00:59:38anymore and wish to be attacked instead. Jill didn't dare to lose her temper anymore.

00:59:43She held on to the attorney and said, Do. Don't go. I won't lose my temper with you anymore.

00:59:50I won't ask for a refund on the legal fees either. Just tell me what I should do now.

00:59:56I can't just watch as my daughter is sentenced to life imprisonment. Seeing that she had taken a

01:00:02step back and thinking of how he needn't return the exorbitant legal fees anymore.

01:00:07The attorney looked around. He lowered his voice and said, There is only one way to lighten your

01:00:13daughter's sentence. What is it? Beg for the victim's forgiveness. If the victim can forgive

01:00:20her, she may still have a chance of a reduced sentence. The victim's forgiveness. Jill's head

01:00:27turned abruptly to Tanya, who was about to leave with Joel. He was right. Tanya was the plaintiff

01:00:34of the case now, which meant that she was the victim. Jill let go of the attorney and went

01:00:40straight to Tanya. When she came up to her, she grabbed Tanya's arm and said, Tanya, my daughter.

01:00:48Don't go help mom out. You're the only one who can help mom. Now go to the judge and tell him

01:00:54that you've forgiven Hillary. Tell him that you don't hold it against her anymore. Go and tell

01:01:00him now. Immediately, right away, her words made Tanya sneer. All she could feel at the moment

01:01:08was just incredulity. Tanya stared at Jill. Little by little, she pulled her arm out of

01:01:16Jill's grasp. She looked at Jill coldly and slowly said, Did you know I've always wanted

01:01:22to ask you something? Ever since I was a child, Jill was taken aback. What? Am I really your

01:01:30daughter? Tanya's eyes were a little red. How is it that you can do so much and go so far for Hillary,

01:01:38yet be so cruel to me? Jill was stunned. But immediately after that, she said angrily,

01:01:45What did I do to you? Did I bring you up and keep you alive so that you can bully me later in life?

01:01:51You are too much. You have to go to the judge right away and tell him that you've forgiven

01:01:56Hillary. What else? Or else what? What will you do? Tanya stared at her, but there was no

01:02:04fluctuation of emotions in her voice at all. Jill was shocked by her reaction. For a moment,

01:02:10she couldn't say anything. Or else you won't acknowledge me as your daughter anymore.

01:02:16Didn't you already sever ties with me a long time ago? Or perhaps you won't pay for my tuition fees

01:02:22anymore. But have you ever given me any money? Or perhaps you won't give me any food. That worked

01:02:29very well when I was young. I was indeed scared when you locked me up in that dark room and didn't

01:02:36give me any food or water. But I'm no longer the four year old kid anymore. Jill, you can't control

01:02:44me anymore. The more Tanya spoke, the colder her voice became. As for Hillary, suddenly she bent

01:02:51down, lowered her head, and leaned into Jill's ear. Why do you think the Smiths didn't bother

01:02:57with damage control and allowed public opinion to get to the state? It's precisely so that she

01:03:02could have a taste of her own medicine. Jill was dumbfounded when the lawyer mentioned it.

01:03:09She had thought that it was just a coincidence, but from the way it sounded now, it was actually

01:03:14a conspiracy by Tanya and Joel. The fiercer the people scolded them, the guiltier they would feel

01:03:21once the truth was revealed. No wonder they hadn't explained anything the whole time,

01:03:26and even assaulted the reporter. Jill's eyes widened as she stared at the daughter,

01:03:32who seemed so foreign to her now. Tanya straightened her back, and with an extremely

01:03:38cold look in her eyes, said, she stole my daughter and my boyfriend, and even abused my daughter for

01:03:45as long as five years. Jill, even if you kneel here for the rest of your life, I will never

01:03:51forgive her. You want me to write a letter of forgiveness over my dead body. She turned,

01:03:58took Joel's hand, and got ready to leave. However, the furious Jill suddenly rushed towards her

01:04:05and grabbed her. Why did I give birth to a bastard like you? You're a bane to the world.

01:04:12I should have killed you when you were a child. I should have starved you to death. Neither Tanya

01:04:17nor Joel had expected her to actually jump up and attack them in the courtroom. She caught Tanya by

01:04:23her hair. She reached out and tried to scratch Tanya's cheek, but Joel already had her wrist in

01:04:30a tight grip. He pushed her away with great force, making her fall onto the floor behind her. Joel

01:04:37looked down at her from above and said, please treat my fiancé with courtesy, Mrs. Jones.

01:04:43After speaking, he glanced at Mr. Jones, who was in the gallery. Mr. Jones immediately got the hint.

01:04:50He came over hastily and held Jill back. Only then did Tanya and Joel leave the courtroom as

01:04:57soon as they exited. They ran into Justin in the car park. As the three looked at one another,

01:05:03Joel asked, how did it go? One of the reasons Justin had to be present today was so that he

01:05:10could convince Carl not to take any further action in the gallery. Justin replied, no big issues.

01:05:17Carl is an underworld figure and has a very strong aura of one from the underworld around him.

01:05:24With the truth publicly exposed and Hillary Jones arrested, there's nothing he can say anymore.

01:05:31Besides, the assassin organization probably doesn't want to offend the Smiths and the Hunts

01:05:36either. His voice turned cold as he added, otherwise I wouldn't have given him a chance

01:05:42to leave the country. Joel nodded. He has already done enough to pay back the favor.

01:05:49He owes his old lover, unless Hillary is his daughter. That guy probably won't do anything

01:05:55for them anymore. His daughter. The moment he said that, both Justin and Joel suddenly

01:06:02thought of something and they both abruptly turned to Tanya. The two clan leaders' gazes

01:06:08made Tanya a little uncomfortable. She glanced down at herself and asked, what's the matter?

01:06:14Is there something wrong with my clothes? Nothing was wrong with them though. Her clothes were very

01:06:21suitable for the occasion and nothing was dirty. While she was wondering about it,

01:06:27Joel suddenly asked Tanya, have you ever wondered who your father is? Tanya. She sighed and replied,

01:06:36of course I have, but every time I asked Jill about it, she would always say that he's a scumbag

01:06:42and a hooligan who deceived her and made her pregnant. A hooligan. The word made Justin and

01:06:49Joel suddenly glance at each other. A short while later, Joel suddenly said, don't you find that

01:06:57Carl Moore actually has a bit of a hooligan-like air around him? Tanya, in the courtroom. Even

01:07:04after everyone else had left, Jill was still laying on the floor and making a scene. I'm not

01:07:10going to get up if you don't save my daughter. You're a good for nothing. What's the use of a

01:07:16father like you? Mr. Jones was standing next to her. At last he said, stay on the floor,

01:07:24if that's what you want. Who cares? He left right away. Carl, who was still in the gallery,

01:07:31looked at Jill, who was on the floor. He scratched his head. His subordinate behind him couldn't help

01:07:37but ask, boss, what did you see in her in your younger days? Carl also felt a little embarrassed.

01:07:46He coughed. Maybe I was blind back then. The subordinate was speechless. He got up and walked

01:07:53toward Jill. Just as he was about to say something, Jill got up by herself and patted the dust off

01:07:59herself. There was none of the shrewish behavior she had just exhibited around her anymore.

01:08:04Instead, she looked at Carl calmly. Carl coughed. Are you okay? I'm fine. Jill stared at Carl and

01:08:14said, you have to help me save my daughter. Carl cast his eyes down. You're not in the right with

01:08:20regard to this matter. Neither can I bring myself to do something like that. Wouldn't he be thoroughly

01:08:27embarrassed if outsiders were to learn of it unexpectedly? As soon as he said that, Jill

01:08:33immediately asked, do you know why I chose to beg you instead of Hillary's father for help? Carl shook

01:08:40his head. Jill said solemnly, because Hillary is not his daughter but yours. Carl, he was astounded.

01:08:49What did you say? Jill stretched out her fingers. There were two strands of hair gripped tightly

01:08:55between them. I plucked Hillary's hair off her when I made contact with her. Just now, you can do

01:09:02a DNA test for you and her. Carl was dumbfounded. He stared at Jill incredulously. His gaze landed

01:09:10on the strands of hair she was holding, and he swallowed hard, feeling that his ears must be

01:09:15playing tricks on him. What did you say? Jill sighed. You can put the timeline together yourself.

01:09:23When I married into the Joneses, I was already four months pregnant. Think about it. Isn't the

01:09:30child yours? If I was already four months pregnant at that time, cause fallout. But Hillary Jones'

01:09:38birth date doesn't match. Jill sighed. That's because I delayed registering her birth for four

01:09:44months. After all, I couldn't bring shame to the Joneses. You can look into it. I gave birth to my

01:09:51daughter in a private clinic, so they may still have records. Also, no matter what, you should

01:09:58have a DNA test done first. Jill handed the strands of hair to Carl. Only hair with the follicles

01:10:04intact can be used in a DNA test. Be careful not to damage them. By the way, my daughter doesn't

01:10:12know that she's not my husband's child. Jill said that because she was afraid that Carl would send

01:10:17someone to the prison to sound Hillary out. After saying that, she started to head toward the exit.

01:10:24Before she left, she added, no matter what, you should still make sure that your daughter stays

01:10:29alive, right? Carl looked at her and narrowed his eyes. Don't worry if she really is my daughter.

01:10:37No one will be able to take her life. Jill breathed a sigh of relief. She lowered her head

01:10:44and said, I won't ask for that child from the Smiths anymore. All I ask for now is just for you

01:10:50to rescue my daughter, get her out of prison, and take her abroad. I hope you can treat her well for

01:10:56the rest of her life after that. Carl hesitated for a moment. Then he asked tentatively, if she

01:11:03is my daughter, why didn't you tell me that from the start? Jill starkled. After a long silence,

01:11:11she finally heaved a deep sigh and said, I only wanted to borrow your authority in the beginning.

01:11:17I don't wish for anything beyond that anymore. Besides, my daughter wasn't having any problems

01:11:23at that time, and you are also willing to help me. So it didn't matter whether or not I told you the

01:11:30truth. But now that I know that you don't want to offend the Smiths and the Hunts, I can only tell

01:11:36the truth. Carl kept quiet for a long while. Suddenly, he broke into a grin and said, Jill,

01:11:44you should know that I am an outlaw. You know it won't end well for people who lie to me, right?

01:11:51Jill was so frightened by the way he spoke that she shuddered. However, she then said resolutely,

01:11:57go and have a DNA test done. Condit, after Jill left his subordinate behind him,

01:12:03asked Boss, surely not right? Is that child stealing woman really your daughter? Carl,

01:12:10however, frowned and said nothing. In the end, he suddenly sighed and instructed,

01:12:16send someone to the prison and protect Hillary Jones for now. Understood. He turned, exited,

01:12:23and walked toward the car. The subordinate asked, Boss, where are you going? Carl replied,

01:12:30a DNA testing lab. Find me a reliable one. Yes, sir. Justin, Joel and Tanya returned to

01:12:40the Smiths' manor. As soon as they entered the manor, someone came forward and whispered

01:12:44something to Joel. Joel frowned. The sensitive Tanya asked, what's wrong? Joel didn't hide

01:12:52anything from her. After letting five years pass them by, both of them cherished each other very

01:12:58much. Now, when he heard her question, he replied, I sent someone to the jail to teach Hillary a

01:13:06lesson, but I just received news that someone has interfered on her behalf. Tanya immediately asked,

01:13:13who did it? Joel replied calmly. Tanya frowned at the name. Ever since Joel and Justin voiced

01:13:20their guess, Tanya had been feeling a little uncomfortable. Surely Carl wasn't really her

01:13:26father, right? She frowned and did some calculations of the timeline around her birth

01:13:32date. However, she didn't think it matched. It seemed like her date of birth was half a year

01:13:38too early. Besides, it was impossible for her date of birth to be wrong because Hillary was born a

01:13:45year later than her. It couldn't possibly be that Jill became pregnant with Hillary when she was

01:13:51pregnant with her, right? The age difference between the two of them was only one year.

01:13:56Anyway, while she was thinking about it just and said, it doesn't make sense. Joel nodded.

01:14:03If it's just because of an old lover, more is unlikely to help Hillary further. After all,

01:14:09the Smiths and the Hunts can control almost the entire United States. Carl's assassins may be

01:14:15powerful, but he may not necessarily be willing to offend two big families at the same time.

01:14:21This was also why Justin had the confidence to threaten Carl when they were in the courtroom.

01:14:26Justin said, how strange, something we are unaware of must have happened. He took out

01:14:33his cell phone and sent messages to both Seen and Lawrence. Investigate why Carl Moore helped

01:14:39Hillary Jones in prison. Joel also said, I'll get my men to investigate too, with the leaders of the

01:14:46two big families simultaneously investigating the same thing. They would surely get results very

01:14:52soon. After sending the messages, Justin glanced at Tanya again and suddenly said, I still find you

01:15:00and Carl Moore somewhat similar. Joel also stared at Tanya for a while. Why don't we do a DNA test

01:15:07after all? It's safer. That way. The two men's gazes made Tanya's lip corner spasm a little,

01:15:15and she became a little hesitant. She had originally been very resistant to the idea.

01:15:21After all, Carl had helped Jill to bully her. However, given how the two men were staring at her,

01:15:28it seemed like she had no choice but to do the DNA test after all. In the end, she could only nod.

01:15:35Lily walked down from upstairs at this point. At the sight of Lily, Justin got a shock.

01:15:42He hurriedly asked, what's the matter with Nora? Joel also looked over with concern.

01:15:48Lily hurriedly replied, relax, Mr. Hunt. Mr. Smith's boss is fine. She has been sleeping the last

01:15:56two days, so I was afraid that she would have low blood sugar. I just gave her some nutritional

01:16:03fluids. The two men relaxed upon hearing her explanation. Lily then said boss is sleeping

01:16:09really soundly. Don't worry. Justin nodded. Lily then started to walk back upstairs.

01:16:17She stretched and said, the last few days have been so exhausting. On top of that,

01:16:22I even have to take care of that handsome thief. Oh, I mean boss cousin in the hospital. I can

01:16:29finally have a good night's sleep now. I am going to sleep through everything until I naturally wake

01:16:35up. She had only just said that when Justin suddenly said air, Lily looked behind her.

01:16:41Justin said, it seems like Nora trusts you very much. So can you help us do a DNA test? Lily,

01:16:49all Lily wished for at the moment was just to return to Switzerland when Lily was still in

01:16:54Switzerland. Every time her boss wanted her help, all she had done was just to get someone to send

01:17:00her some DNA samples. Three hours were the most she needed to produce the test results,

01:17:06but after she came back to the States first, she had to help her boss take care of her father.

01:17:13Next, she had to take care of her boss cousin. Now that her boss had fallen into a deep sleep

01:17:18and couldn't assign her tasks anymore, she finally felt as if she could take a breather.

01:17:24Yet in the end, her boss-in-law was assigning her a task. This was so goddamn, did they have

01:17:31any intention of letting her rest or not? Even though Lily was cursing deep down on the surface,

01:17:37she nevertheless smiled and asked, very professionally, sure. May I know where the DNA

01:17:44samples are? Justin? Joel? Both of them looked at each other and then the corners of their lips

01:17:51spasm at the same time. All they had thought of was having a DNA test done. But who the hell

01:17:57could retrieve Carl's DNA sample? It wasn't like they could go up to him and say, bro,

01:18:04I suspect that Tanya is your daughter. Can I borrow a DNA sample from you as the leader of

01:18:09a group of assassins? If there were people who could pluck Carl's hair without him knowing,

01:18:15then he might as well retire from the underworld for good. Neither of them expected that retrieving

01:18:20Carl's DNA samples would instead become the most difficult task. Elsewhere, Carl went to a DNA

01:18:27testing lab after they extracted a blood sample from his fingertip. He returned to the hotel. All

01:18:34the places he went were heavily guarded, although he hadn't brought a lot of men with him during his

01:18:39return to the States. This time, all of them were skilled fighters. It could be said that even a fly

01:18:45wouldn't be able to get near Carl, let alone a human. Three hours later, his subordinates sent

01:18:52him the DNA test report. Carl took a look. The report indicated a 99 probability that the test

01:19:00subjects were indeed father and daughter. At the same time, the person whom he had sent to

01:19:05investigate the private clinic also returned. When Jill was telling him all those things,

01:19:11she had also given him the clinic's information. When they went to investigate, they found that

01:19:17Jill had indeed given birth to a child during that period of time. The child was also indeed Hillary.

01:19:24The nurse they had talked to during the investigation had said that the girl whom

01:19:29Jill had given birth to had a mole on her ear, and Hillary did indeed have one on her ear.

01:19:35The records in the clinic were dated five years ago, so there was no way they could have falsified

01:19:40them. Carl narrowed his eyes and suddenly asked, does that girl named Tanya Turner have a mole

01:19:47on her ear? His subordinate was surprised. Why are you asking about her? She doesn't seem to

01:19:55have one, though. They were assassins, so they were very observant. Although they had only met

01:20:01Joel and Tanya once in court, they remembered everything about their looks. Carl pressed his

01:20:07lips together, because I keep feeling like something isn't quite right. If Hillary really is,

01:20:14my daughter Jill could have just approached me directly after Hillary was taken away.

01:20:19I would have been able to protect my daughter for sure. There wasn't any need for her to go to that

01:20:25young missy and beg her for help. I was originally suspecting that the hair she gave me was that young

01:20:32missus. But unexpectedly, the child that Jill had given birth to back then was indeed Hillary.

01:20:39The clinic had kept pictures of the newborn baby. The mole on her ear was very obvious.

01:20:45Therefore, Jill had indeed given birth to Hillary for months earlier. In other words, Hillary was

01:20:52indeed his daughter. Carl abruptly stood up and started to pace back and forth excitedly.

01:20:58Over twenty years ago, he had gone to Switzerland all by himself to build his career.

01:21:04People in the underworld inevitably got injured sometime or another, and the same went for him

01:21:10during a certain incident he had injured his genitals. Therefore, he would never have any

01:21:16children for the rest of his life. Originally, he had held regrets about this. Although he'd had

01:21:23many women in his life all these years, he didn't have any children. Little did he expect that he

01:21:29would suddenly find his daughter during his return to the States when he was here to look for Black

01:21:34Cat instead. He rubbed his hands excitedly and paced back and forth in the hotel. It was at this

01:21:40point that he received a call from jail. He picked up the call. Jill asked, Have you seen the DNA

01:21:48test report candidate? Yes. Hillary is indeed your daughter. You'll save her now, right? Surely you

01:21:55can't just watch as your daughter dies. The Smiths and the Hunts are very powerful. If she continues

01:22:02to stay in prison, something will happen to her sooner or later. You have to find a way to get

01:22:07her out of there. Carl narrowed his eyes. You don't have to worry about that. I know what I'm doing.

01:22:15To think I actually have a daughter just based on this alone. I now owe you one. Jill.

01:22:23After hanging up, he paced back and forth in the room. Even his subordinates couldn't help

01:22:28but be happy for him. Boss was still suspecting this and that just now. But look at how happy

01:22:35he is now. Of course, Boss has an heir now. He finally has someone who can inherit all the money

01:22:42he earned over the years. It's just that his daughter's character is not that great.

01:22:49She could even bring herself to do something like stealing someone else's child.

01:22:54But it's not like we are some kind of angelic organization anyway. Forget it. Carl scratched

01:23:00his head excitedly with a silly grin on his face as he listened to their conversation. As he

01:23:06continued grinning, someone said, By the way, you told us to protect your daughter, right?

01:23:12As expected, the Smiths and the Hunts tried to do something to her in the prison,

01:23:17but we managed to stop them. Boss, what are your plans? She's in a prison in the USA,

01:23:24after all. We can't guarantee that nothing will go wrong if we break her out of prison.

01:23:30Carl, however, didn't speak. A brief moment later, he suddenly said,

01:23:35I still feel like something isn't quite right. How about this? Get a DNA sample of that young

01:23:42missy named Tonya Turner and have another test done. As soon as he said that, everyone else said,

01:23:48Boss, aren't you making things difficult for us? By telling us to do that? Stealing a DNA sample

01:23:55from someone living in the Smiths' manor. You sure think really highly of us. Exactly.

01:24:02Also, why do you still want her DNA sample? Carl clutched his chest and said,

01:24:09My mind can't rest at peace if I don't have it checked. By the way, isn't Black Cat in the States?

01:24:16Look for Black Cat. Everyone nodded. Yeah, that's right. If it's Black Cat, there definitely won't

01:24:25be any problem, but Black Cat is completely ignoring us. Black Cat would occasionally

01:24:30still reply to the emails and messages we sent some time back, but he's been completely ignoring

01:24:37us these last couple of days. It's as if he's vanished into thin air. Carl took out his cell

01:24:44phone. Maybe he's busy. It's okay. Just ensure that Hillary isn't bullied in prison for now.

01:24:52I will contact Black Cat and wait for news from him. Black Cat was his top assassin. The two have

01:24:59worked together for many years and they shared a very good relationship with each other. Carl had

01:25:05never considered the possibility that Black Cat might refuse to help. He drafted a message and

01:25:11sent it to Black Cat. I have something to ask of you. Black Cat, can you help me steal a person's

01:25:18DNA sample at the Smiths? Justin, Pete, and Cherry were currently in Nora's room.

01:25:25Suddenly, they sensed movement from the bed. The three of them looked over at once. Nora very,

01:25:31very slowly opened her eyes. Then she shifted and stretched. Thank you for watching.
