- Chapter 591
- If she hadn’t stolen Ellie’s necklace on a whim back then and greedily claimed it belonged to her, leading Alex to mistake her for someone else, maybe none of the terrible things that followed would have happened.
- It all started with a lie and a moment of greed, and her life was ruined.
- She regretted it. If only time could go backward, she would be loyal to the Owens family, and she would love those who truly cared for her. However, it was too late.
- Tears of regret slowly streamed down Haley’s face as she gave up the struggle, closing her eyes slowly.
- “In the name of love, you’ve done unforgivable things. You asked for this.” The car began to move, and Ellie took one last look at Haley through the car window.
- Everything in this world came with consequences. The reason Ellie chose to be a good man wasn’t out of cowardice, but because she understood that she reaped what she sowed.
- No matter how hard life was, she still believed that good people would be blessed and bad ones would get what was coming to them.
- Ellie and Alex were silent as they made their way back to the hospital. When the car finally came to a stop, as Ellie was getting out, Alex grabbed her arm. “If you’re scared, you can rest on my shoulder,” he said, patting his chest.
- “I’m not scared,” Ellie glanced at Alex before getting out of the car.
- After Ellie left, Alex turned to the front passenger seat where Barry was sitting and asked, “Who is Haley?”
- “I’m sorry, Mr. Warren. I… I don’t know.” Barry quickly shook his head, clearly terrified. She knew if he said something wrong, Nancy would be the first to cut his tongue.
- Alex raised an eyebrow. “Did I know Dr. Thompson before?”
- “Well, it’s your personal matter. I don’t know!” Barry stammered. Just now, he had heard Alex ask Ellie, and Ellie had dismissed him with just a few words. He thought Alex hadn’t taken it seriously at all.
- Alex frowned, opened the car door, and stepped out.
- Around 7 p.m., Diana woke up in the ward.
- “Ellie was right. Quinlee turned out to be Haley in disguise!” Diana groaned weakly as she pounded the bed in frustration.
- “Be careful. You have an IV in your hand,” Aaron gently held Diana’s arm, preventing her from moving it too much.
- “How did you figure out Quinlee’s true identity?” Lacey, exhausted, sat in a chair, her upper body leaning on Mark, her eyes half–closed.
- “Because the second daughter of the Janssen family, who was once engaged to me, had a child.” Linda pushed Orion into the ward in a wheelchair, and the latter explained everything to the group.
- Orion continued, “Back then, her boyfriend was a rising movie star, so she kept their relationship private. We only got engaged to appease our families.
- “Later, Quinlee drowned, and her boyfriend, prioritizing his career, sent the child to his relatives in the countryside. He never made it public. If you want to know who she is, just do a DNA test, and everything will be clear.”
- “Wait, so the one who drowned back then was the real Haley? And she had a famous boyfriend and a child before she died!” Lacey stared in disbelief at Mark, who calmly tapped her on the head with his fingers, saying nothing.

- Aaron got a call from Jason, preparing to leave. “The police have caught those people. I need to head to the police station.
- “I’ll identify the body and see if the person who harmed you that night is among them. I’ll come back to you soon,” Aaron whispered in Diana’s car before leaving the room.
- Linda pushed Orion out of Diana’s ward. Ellie and Alex followed behind. Ellie headed to her office, while Alex wheeled Orion back to the room.
- As they entered, Alex said, “I think we should let Mom and Dad visit you.”
- “Not yet.” Orion replied without hesitation, “I’ll have my final facial reconstruction surgery next month. Let me recover from the scars first. I don’t want Mom and Dad worrying about me anymore.”
- Alex didn’t press the matter further. After discussing work for a while, he left the room, taking a winding path until he reached Ellie’s office. He knocked on the door, and hearing a response, he adjusted his clothes before pushing the door
- open.
- Ellie saw Alex standing in the doorway with hands in his suit pants pockets, leaning casually against the door frame like a peacock. She quickly averted her gaze, slightly irritated. “Mr. Warren, do you need anything?”
- Alex smirked. “I’m a big guy, but I’m a bit of a scaredy–cat. After seeing such a bloody scene, I’m worried I’ll have nightmares or struggle to sleep tonight. Dr. Thompson, do you have..”
- Ellie cut him off before he could finish. “Take some sleeping pills. One won’t be enough, but two should do the trick.”
- Alex was speechless.
- Chapter 592
- In the end, Alex took the box of sleeping pills that Ellie had given him and went back to the Warren Manor.
- As he entered the living room, he saw the news playing on TV, reporting that the second daughter of the Janssen family, the richest in Jinerity, had been severely bitten by hounds.
- “What a terrible scene! Aren’t you afraid your blood pressure will spike and you won’t be able to sleep at night?” Alex picked up the remote control and turned off the TV.
- “She deserved it!” Nancy was not afraid at all. “Haley did so many b
- things. This is the fate she deserves!”
- Alex stood in the center of the living room, listening to Nancy who was cursing Haley. He walked over and asked, “Mom, Haley said that she and another woman both competed for me before. When did this happen? I don’t remember any of it.”
- Hearing Alex’s sudden question, Nancy immediately shut her mouth. She exchanged a glance with Todd, then stood up on the couch and slapped Alex in the face. “Given your lousy attitude, do you think that’s even possible?”
- Barry, seeing Alex getting slapped, quietly waited outside the living room.
- “Stop daydreaming!” Nancy raised her voice nervously. “If any woman ever fell for you, I’d crawl on my knees to beg her to join our family!”
- Nancy continued, “What would anyone want with you? You’re just a man with a criminal record and a bad temper. Honestly, I was about to sign you up on a dating app. What makes you feel so good about yourself?”
- She slapped her thigh dramatically, then plopped back down onto the couch.
- Alex rubbed his face, feeling aggrieved. “That makes sense,” he muttered and noticed Evan, the butler, bringing him a cup of tea. He stepped forward to take it. “Thanks. It’s late and you should rest.”
- Evan said with a quiet smile, “Maybe I’m getting old. I have less sleep these days.”
- Alex handed Evan the box of sleeping pills that Ellie had given him. “Take this. No side effects. If you can’t sleep, just take one. It’ll knock you out for sure.”
- “Why are you carrying sleeping pills with you, Mr. Warren?” Evan asked, taking the medicine, though he was clearly concerned.
- Alex’s parents looked alarmed. “Are you losing your mind?!” Todd’s face darkened in anger.
- Nancy quickly spoke up, trying to smooth things over. “Alex, don’t take me too seriously. I was just messing around. Take your time.”
- Alex blinked, completely taken aback.
- Meanwhile, in a patient ward in Bondie Private Hospital, Orion sat in a wheelchair, staring at the TV. Linda crouched next to him, resting on his leg.
- Although he couldn’t see it, he could hear things clearly. On the TV, the news was playing about Quinlee colluding with an international drug cartel, and how she was attacked by hounds after an internal conflict with the drug dealers.
- “That’s terrifying.” Linda felt a wave of nausea as she saw Quinlee’s severely injured body. Some parts of her injuries were even censored on screen. She quickly covered her eyes, trying to avoid the graphic images.
- “Enough,” Orion murmured, reaching for the remote and turning off the TV.
- Once the TV was off, Linda finally dared to open her eyes. She stood up and wheeled Orion over to the balcony. The
- Chapter 592
- autumn breeze was cool, and it felt nice on the skin.
- Linda draped a light jacket over Orion’s shoulders. “If I had known she wasn’t your fance, I wouldn’t have put up with her. 1 would have beaten her!” Thinking back on how Quinter bullied her, Linda couldn’t help but feel regret.
- “With your tiny figure, you wouldn’t stand a chance against her Orion said, eyes closed as he enjoyed the cool night breeze in Jaslands.
- Chapter 593
- Linda pouted, muttering under her breath, “You can’t even see. How do you know I’m tiny?”
- Orion chuckled softly, “You’re around 5.5 feet, probably weigh about 100 pounds, and… I’m sure you’re quite beautiful”
- Hearing Orion compliment her, Linda instantly perked up. She squatted down next to his wheelchair, shaking his arm gently. “And”
- Orion smirked. “That’s all.”
- Linda stared at him for a moment and decided to tease him. “Then make a guess–do I have a round face or a flat one?”
- “Come here.” Orion raised his hand slightly, signaling for her to lean in. Linda leaned forward, just enough for him to touch
- her face.
- He gently cupped her face in his rough hands, his fingers tracing from her hairline down to her forehead, then across her eyebrows, eyes, and nose. “You have a small face, big eyes, long lashes, and a delicate nose. And your lips…”
- Linda felt the warmth of Orion’s fingers as they caressed her features, his touch outlining each detail with such precision. The warmth of his hand felt like a soft breeze brushing across her skin, and it sent a wave of emotions through her chest.
- “Err… I left something in Dr. Thompson’s office. I’ll go get it,” Linda said, her voice suddenly shaky as she realized she had been distracted. She quickly pulled her hand away from Orion’s and stood up, heading for the door.
- Linda jogged quickly to the empty ward next door. Her heart was racing. She slapped her flushed cheeks a few times in an attempt to calm herself, but the fluttering in her chest wouldn’t settle.
- Aaron adjusted the bed so Diana could sit up slightly. He sat beside her, patiently feeding her while watching the news on TV.
- “Well done, dogs!” Diana was looking much better, and her energy was returning.
- When Diana saw the news about Haley getting attacked by the hounds, she gritted her teeth and chewed on the mushroom as if it was Haley’s bone.
- “Learn your lesson–next time something like this happens, don’t act impulsively, got it?” Aaron couldn’t help but shudder at the thought of that night in the bar alley. He still felt a chill.
- whether I can beat him or not, I’ll just run for my life first.” Diana had been taken move from a pro and had learned her lesson the hard way.
- “Got it.
- time I run into a bad
- out
- by
- “Open your mouth.” Aaron fed her another spoonful of food.
- Diana took it reluctantly but immediately spit it out. “I don’t like pecans.”
- Diana kept spitting it out, but Aaron gently stopped her. “Pecans are good for your health. Just think of it as medicine.”
- Diana shook her head stubbornly.
- “Try swallowing it. I’ve tasted it, and it’s not that bad,” Aaron patiently encouraged Diana, trying to get her to eat without being picky. The next second, however, Diana yanked on his collar, forcing him to bend. She kissed him and fed him the
- pecan.
- “If it’s not that bad for you, eat it yourself!” Diana insisted, staring at Aaron, daring him to eat the pecan she fed him.
- Chapter 593
- They locked eyes, and Aaron elegantly chewed down the pecan she had put in his mouth. Once finished, he picked up the bowl. “I ate it. Now, it’s your turn.”
- Diana smirked. “Feed me with your mouth, and I’ll eat it.”
- “You haven’t recovered yet. Stop messing around,” Aaron said, blushing.
- “I’m just asking you to feed me with your mouth, not asking for some intense physical activity. What does that have to do with my injuries?” Diana teased.
- The more Aaron blushed, the more Diana flirted. Eventually, to get her to eat those pecans, Aaron, with red ears, fed her from his mouth.
- “Well, looks like we came at the wrong time,” Steven and Liam walked in, catching the intimate scene.
- Aaron immediately jumped up in a reflex, swallowing the pecan he hadn’t yet fed to Diana.
- Chapter 594
- At 10 a.m., at the Thompson residence, West Suburb No. 7, Nalani arrived with Jared Mosley.
- “I saw the news last night, and I just couldn’t sleep all night. Haley really hid things well!” Nalani said, clearly satisfied at the thought of how Haley ended.
- Ellie was sitting with them, chatting on the couch, while the kids were in front of the floor–to–ceiling windows, building with Legos.
- “She brought it on herself,” Ellie said calmly. “No sympathy for her.” Haley’s downfall was her own doing, and Ellie didn’t feel bad about it.
- “Let’s stop talking about that woman,” Whitney quickly cut in and changed the subject. “Since Ellie is free, how about we have dinner together tonight? Nalani, call Layton and let him join us.”
- “I’m not calling him,” Nalani said, her face darkening at the mention of Layton.
- Whitney’s expression turned serious. “Did you two fight?”
- Nalani glanced at Ellie, hesitating before speaking. “Ever since Alex came back, Layton hasn’t had a peaceful day. He’s always going out in the middle of the night, sometimes not coming back until morning.”
- Ellie exchanged looks with Whitney and Joanna.
- Whitney sighed. “Layton and Alex have been close since they were kids, always sticking together. If they want to go out for drinks, you should just let it go.”
- Nalani wasn’t done, though. “You don’t get it. A few days ago, when I wasn’t home, Layton took the twins to see Alex. Alex’s cat scratched the younger girl on the leg. She was so scared she cried for a week straight–day and night.
- “Seeing her pitiful look, the older girl cried too. It drove me crazy!”
- The more Nalani spoke, the angrier she got. “He actually took two babies to meet Alex! Sometimes I wonder if I’m his partner or if Alex is. If he keeps doing this, I’ll just divorce him and take the kids back to my family!”
- Whitney and Ellie were both speechless.
- “How about this,” Whitney said, sighing as she tried to calm her niece down, “Invite Layton for dinner tonight, and I’ll talk to him.”
- The bond between Layton and Alex was strong, and everyone knew they were close. Considering Alex had just gotten out of prison after five years, their connection made sense to Whitney.
- However, Nalani didn’t want to trouble anyone. “Don’t bother. Let’s bring the kids and go to the Earl Hotel for dinner tonight. I’ll have everything set up ahead of time, and we can just go there in the evening.”

- Meanwhile, in the CEO’s office at the Warren Group, Alex had just finished a high–level meeting.
- Chris said as he placed a cup of coffee on the desk, “Mr. Warren, several vice presidents are playing both sides, working together to prevent you from regaining full control.”
- “Chris,” Alex asked with a cold smile, “What do you think a young widow wants?”
- Chris adjusted his glasses, unsure how to respond. “Mr. Warren, I think we’ve gotten off track here,” he politely reminded, keeping things professional.

- “She has a job, kids, and is pretty–she shouldn’t be lacking in suitors. What do you think a woman like that really wants?” Alex paused, imagining Ellie’s indifferent expression paired with her hot figure, and couldn’t help but let out a low whistle.
- “Mr. Warren, I don’t know much about widows, Chris stammered, standing awkwardly in front of Alex’s desk. He wondered, Is he interested in one of them?
- Alex leaned on the edge of the desk and slowly stood up, patting Chris on the shoulder. “I wasn’t asking you to approach them. I’m just asking–what kind of man do you think a widow would prefer? Do I still have a shot?”
- Before Chris could respond, a purse suddenly flew through the air and hit Alex in the head. “What the hell are you talking
- about?
- Chapter 595
- Seeing Nancy storm into the office, Chris immediately stepped back and hid behind Alex. “Mom, what are you doing here?” Alex caught the purse and turned to hide behind the couch.
- Nancy was fuming, patting her chest as she pointed at Alex. “No wonder you won’t go on blind dates when I tell you to. So it’s true–you’ve got your eye on a widow.
- “Tell me, who are you hooking up with? Take me there right now. I want to see which bitch is stealing your heart!”
- Nancy was so angry that her head was buzzing, and she demanded that Alex take her to find that widow.
- Alex kept a safe distance from Nancy, and before he knew it, he had circled to the back of the couch. With a couch set between them, Nancy was fuming and cursing, “You little brat! You can run, but you can’t hide forever!
- “If you don’t take me to find that bitch now, I’ll follow you everywhere you go.”
- Seeing Nancy going all out, Alex, in a panic, pointed to Chris in the distance. “Mom, you misunderstood. It’s Chris! He has a thing for a widow and asked me to help him. I was just trying to talk some sense into him.”
- Chris opened his mouth, looking bewildered at Alex. However, catching the warning look from Alex, he dared not say a word.
- Nancy looked at Chris doubtfully. “Is that true?”
- Chris nodded reluctantly, and Nancy sighed. “I know you’ve had it tough at the Warren Group while Alex was away, Chris.”
- Nancy walked over, grabbing Chris‘ hand. “You graduated from a top foreign university, and your parents used to be high- level executives. You should be able to find someone better than a single mom with kids.
- “How about this, I’m setting up blind dates for Alex, and I’ll also help you find a few good matches. After work tonight, you and he can both go on a blind date together.”
- Chris was horrified at the thought of Nancy setting him up on blind dates. He quickly shook his head. “No need, Mrs.
- Warren.”
- Nancy wasn’t having it. “It’s settled then!”
- Alex, sensing Nancy was getting serious about the blind date thing, stepped in. “Mom, we still have work to do. You should go home, and we’ll talk about it later.”
- Nancy turned to Alex, pointing a finger. “What? You really want to bring a widow home as your wife, right?”
- “No! I told you, it was Chris,” Alex quickly corrected, pointing to Chris, who lowered his head in embarrassment.
- “I don’t care who it is. Starting tonight, you two will both go on blind dates after work. I’ll set everything up. Do you have any problem with that” Nancy glared fiercely at Alex, not backing down.
- Alex, feeling completely cornered by Nancy, had no choice but to agree. “Fine, I’ll go.”
- Nancy turned to Chris. “What about you?”
- “Mrs. Warren, I… I’ll go,” Chris reluctantly agreed.
- Once both of them had agreed, Nancy finally left, satisfied. As soon as she was gone, Barry walked in.
- Alex raised an eyebrow. “Where have you been?”
- “Sorry, Mr. Warren, I… I just went to the bathroom,” Barry said, his head lowered in case Alex figured out his true thoughts. He knew if he had walked in earlier, he would have got involved. There was no way he was risking that.
- Before they got off work, Alex got a text from Nancy with the address. It was at the Earl Hotel. Taking a deep breath, Alex turned to Chris. “Do you want some time to go home and get dressed up?”
- Chris’s normally cool face twisted into a grimace. “Mr. Warren, if my girlfriend finds out, I’ll be in deep trouble!”
- “Only once. How often does something like this happen?” Alex said nonchalantly, “We’ll meet at the hotel entrance. I have to go ‘get ready‘, and I’ll bring my cat along.”
