A momentter, a housekeeper bled /bCharlie and Nancy into the living bhall /b

    Nancy was visibly displeased.

    Back in their youth, Heather had been no match for Nancy in any regard. But now, Nancy found herself needing to beg that wretched woman for something-

    Charlie kept his tone gentle, trying to smooth things over.

    Nancy sneered, “Why are you trying to y the good guy? Back then, you were never bas /btalented as her. If it weren’t for my father’s favoritism, you never would’ve won that prestigious award

    “It would have gone in that wretch instead.

    Charlie hesitated for a moment before saying, “Stop it. Let’s not talk about the bpast/b.”

    bNancy /bscoffed again. “Sometimes, I actually pity her for mistaking you bfor /ba decent man.”

    As the two continued bickering, they stepped inside the Chapman residence.

    The Chapman residence was the most bluxurious /bmansion in Yarrowmere. Even from the foyer, the decorations were overwhelming. The living room alone spanned Over 1,000 square feet.

    iThe /i

    dining hall was shaped like a domeb, /bwith natural lighting from all bangles/b. It even had an automated lift system.

    bCharlie /band Nancy were momentarily stunned by the grandeur

    bWhat /bsurprised them even more was bthat /bthe Zieglers were her before them. No wonder so many ck luxury sedans were parked outside–all with Brindley license tes.

    The moment Charlie’s bgaze /bnded on Willowb, /bba /bwave of fatherly affection rose in him

    In Chadle’s mind, a family like the Chapmans would surely be reasonable.

    With that belief, he respectfully talked to Laura, apologize for the intrusion btoday/b. I’vee to fulfill a long–held wish to reunite with my long–lost daughter.”

    Laura Ignored him for ba /bmoment band /bbsipped /bbon /bher btea/bb. /bAfter a while, she raised her gaze and said, “A reunion? What a bcoincidence/b. Timothy and bHeather /bhad just reunited with their daughter, Willow.

    “She’s such a wonderful child. I adore her,”

    bCharlie /bwas visibly agitated. “She’s my bbiological /bbdaughter/b.”

    Laura braised /ban eyebrow. b“/bYour bbiological /bdaughter? Isn’t she bserving /btime in prison? Who in this house is your biological daughter?

    “Let me ask you this. Have you ever cared for her? Have byou /bever evented her ba /bsingle meal? Have you ever bpersonally /btaken ber to school, even once?b” /b

    A hint of guilt shed across Charlie’s face. b“/bNob, /bbI /bbhaven’t /b

    Still, he desperately wanted to reunite with his daughter. With tears in his eyes, he tumed to Willow. “I’ll make it up bto /byou.”

    bLaura /btook a sip of the tea and said, “Make it up to her? Did you even bring anything for her? Or did you just show bup /bemptyb–/bhanded?”

    Charlie’s bface /bbflushed /bbred /bwith embarrassment.

    bMeanwhile/b, the Zieglers, who were standing aside, were enjoying the show, especially Tyler and Karen The Burkes had tricked them before, bso /bthey were more

    than happy if Laura humiliated them further.

    Just thenb, /bthere was a

    bs /bba /bmotion in the courtyard. It sounded like the rumbling of car engines.

    Laura stood up and smiled. “Let’s go take a look, shall we?”

    Charlie let out a bsigh /bbof /brelief when he was let off the hook

    Everyone stepped outside, just to be met with bfour /bluxury cars lined up at the entrance of the Chapman residence.

    There was a pink Rolls–Royce, a ck Rolls–Royce Gillinap, and two supercars worth ba /btotal of 50 million dors. Altogether, the cars were valued at over 100 milion dors

    The cars were gleaming, radiating wealth and prestige.

    Laurafeigned ignorance and tumed to Timothy. “Timothy, was this your doing?”

    Timothy wrapped an arm around Heather’s shoulders and chuckled. “I just picked up a few new toys for Willow. It she likes the newer models, we’ll gai her.”

    Laura praised Timothy. “bYou /bbdid /ba good job on this. bThat’s /bbhow /bbyou /bshould love your children.”

    After saying thatb, /bher sharp gaze swung back to Charle

    Charlie besitated once again. Despite his fame, in reality, he was barely scraping by. There was no way he could afford soch

    he just kept quiet.

    Laura let out a chuckle. “I thought

    ght you were here to take Willow back to a better life. Turns out, your pockets are empty,

    “How dare youe here, trying to take away bour /bchild for free? I get it now. You’re getting old, so you’re worried you won’t have someone to care for you.

    “That’s the reason why you came here to reunite with Willow,”
