From her expression, I could tell there was a significant piece of information in her scheme.I didn't press for details and waited for her to reveal it herself."Stella's mastermind at the time wanted to influence Yare, and she had her eyes on the power of the Huffman family there. She promised that if we cooperated with her and it succeeded, she could mediate the future power in Yare and let the Huffman family lead it.""Does she have that much power?" I doubted, sneering. "Honestly, I didn't see Stella as someone capable of manipulating the non-organization forces. At best, she's just a lackey."Thinking of this, I suddenly remembered something. Atlas had always wanted to confirm if Stella was indeed Gemma. I was so busy that I forgot.Trinity shook her head, contemptuously smiling. "Indeed, she doesn't have that ability, but she serves as a bridge to the organization. Now, it seems that she's become the focus of attention for a few things.""Indeed, in the case of rescuing my
Trinity pondered for a moment, and then spoke, "As far as I know, the old lady cherished Lucille quite a bit. Back when Lucille fell in love with your father and left the family, there was a reason for it.""A reason? Wasn't it because the old lady didn’t like that my dad was a poor man with nothing?" I questioned skeptically.Trinity shook her head. "It's not that simple. Later, Lucille's passing left the old lady devastated. That year, she almost followed her daughter's footsteps. Her health hasn't been great since then.”I listened silently, recalling the plump figure of the old lady in the photo I had seen."Do you know why she still loved and cherished someone she knew was fake?"I shook my head.Trinity sighed, "It's her wishful thinking.""How did she know the girl was fake?" I asked.Trinity said, "I told her and showed her your photo."I was surprised. "Did she believe you?""Yeah," Trinity sighed, then said helplessly, "It would be better if you remembered the past.
When I heard that, I quickly glanced at Trinity. "Our little princess is here too to visit Anson.”Trinity smiled and got up to open the door. The girl with two small buns on her head peeked in, looking like a little imp. "Miss, is my mommy here?""Who's your mommy?" Trinity teased her, although she hadn't formally met my little girl.At this moment, the contrast between the two, one inside the door and the other outside, was particularly striking."My mommy's name is Chloe, and she's here to see Aunt Trinity. Who are you? Have you seen my mommy? My grandpa said this is Aunt Trinity’s room." Her voice was tender and sweet, melting everyone's heart."And who am I?" Trinity squatted down, meeting her gaze.There was a moment of silence, and I almost burst out laughing. Then I heard Ava say, "Don't you know who you are? Do you know your name? I'm Ava Murphy, what's yours?""I'm Trinity." Trinity's voice was soft and pleasant.Usually, she spoke with a deeper voice, but now it was
Trinity glanced at my belly."You really have everything going for you. So that’s why this little girl calls herself a big sister. I envy you," she sighed."Well, hurry up and find someone you love to have a baby with. It won't affect you being the head of the Huffman family," I quickly suggested to Trinity.I knew Trinity didn't have any friends. I was her first friend, and I genuinely meant what I said.A hint of shyness flashed across Trinity's face, though it vanished in an instant. But it was a genuine expression.Trinity had changed. I stared at her face, wondering what had caused such a change in her.What had she encountered in Yare? Or was this her true self? I had to admit, I didn't know her very well.Just then, a servant knocked on the door, inviting us to lunch.Trinity quickly took Ava's hand. "Let's go eat, little girl."I was a little hungry.On the way to the dining room, Ava chattered away like a little bird, amusing Trinity endlessly. I was pleasantly surpr
I was just about to doze off when my phone rang, jolting me awake. I quickly found my phone, surprised to see that it was Lauren. "Are you back?" she asked."Yes. I got back last night. Trinity called when I woke up this morning. She's back too, so I rushed over to the Huffman family’s place. I was just about to head back to Pleca Park," I explained. Then, I quickly asked, "How's Oliver doing?""He's doing fine, don’t worry. Alex is here. I thought about going to Pleca Park to visit your dad," Lauren said."You go ahead with your plans.""I'm already on my way out. I was just taking a break. They need some space," Lauren said softly. I could tell she was walking."Come over, then. I'm almost home." I looked at the street and realized I was at the intersection near our house."Alright, you get some rest. I'll be there soon." Lauren quickly hung up.Putting away the phone, I glanced at the two little beauties sleeping in the back seat.I had intended to go back and take a nap,
As the car pulled up to Pleca Park, Atlas got someone to carry the two little ones back to their rooms to continue sleeping. We thought that my father would also be in the middle of a nap right now.We sat in the living room. Atlas saw that I was silent, and he might have been afraid that I was upset, so he pulled me into his arms and whispered, "Grandpa says he wants to see you, but I'm sure Celine is involved in this. There are many things I need to clarify."After a pause, he continued, "I've changed my focus. I’ll take everything that belongs to the Pierce family back, including our house!”"Are you saying you want to reclaim the Pierce Corporation too?" I asked, looking at his serious and handsome face uncertainly. "That would mean kicking Celine out of the Pierce family. Do you think your grandpa will agree to that?""It's not up to him. No one can stop me." Atlas's tone was very firm.I didn't doubt Atlas's abilities, but just reclaiming everything from the Pierce family wo
"You're so thoughtful," I exclaimed. "It's rare for you to think about things for him like this.""He said he'll stay at my place and sell the house where we used to live together. He wants to buy a new house. He said although that place holds memories for us, those memories are unfair to me, so he insisted on selling it.""That's true. That place might be bigger, but Oliver's right. You shouldn't object to that either. Don't discourage his enthusiasm. After all, you're getting married,” I said to Lauren.Actually, as an outsider, I knew full well that although many were expecting them to get married, there would still be some opinions from the public.Once Lauren really got together with Oliver, she might receive some blessings, but it wouldn't be much. After all, Oliver, with his financial power and influence in the city, was a man women in Foswood flocked to.Whoever he married would become the enemy of the public, and most people would be jealous of them for a while.I had ch
Lauren was right.I nodded and said, "You're right. I've been careful in dealing with them, and sometimes it's quite challenging."Lauren reassured me, "You don't need to worry about this. Ivanna won't have any objections.""They’re like family, and I'm afraid any slight deviation might hurt the other." This was something I could only confide in Lauren. "I hope for a win-win solution to resolve their issues. After all, their relationship is unique.”"I understand." Lauren smiled at me. "It's tough on you. After all, they are not the same kind of people.”“We've got no reason to worry. Jared knows exactly how to balance the situation." I leaned back on the couch and added, "Jared probably already coordinated this matter.""How so?" Lauren asked eagerly.I recounted the recent events involving Anson and Jared visiting my father, followed by Jared bringing Ivanna to dinner at Pleca Park.This revelation surprised Lauren. She asked, "So, how was it resolved?""I'm also curious how
