Harvey stumbled into the room, reeking of alcohol and unpleasant odors. The atmosphere grew tense as everyone's gaze fixated on him, filled with disgust. Margaret, seething with anger, had meticulously planned her 50th birthday party for a whole year, only for her disrespectful son-in-law to ruin it.Whispers filled the room, "Quick, get your husband out of here!" commanded George to his daughter.She approached Harvey, intending to calm him down, but he snapped at her, "Don't touch me! I'm sorry for being late, but I didn't even receive an invitation. Can you believe it? I, the son-in-law, excluded from my mother-in-law's birthday celebration!"Margaret's eyes scanned the room, disappointment etched on the faces of the distinguished guests. "You ungrateful fool," she declared, her voice dripping with authority. "Leave this place immediately, or you'll regret it.""Listen up, Harvey. If you dare bring any more shame upon my daughter and our family, your marriage will come crashing dow

Harvey woke up, disoriented, on a moving train bound for a distant county. He frantically searched his pockets and discovered a passport and personal documents, but with a different name and his own face.He had always known Margaret had a vendetta against him, but now she was stealing his very identity. As he turned to assess his surroundings, he noticed the unsettling gazes of unfamiliar faces fixed upon him. In that moment, he realized he must proceed with caution, for they were there to ensure he never returned to the city.Harvey had to find a way to escape. As soon as they reached the train station, he quickly hopped into a taxi, not knowing where to go, but desperate to get away. He couldn't contact anyone since his number had been changed, erasing all his contacts.Harvey tried to stay composed, but then he received a call. Hesitant at first, he suspected it was Margaret, he answered, only to hear a strange voice on the other end. It turned out to be someone claiming to be his

"Dad, can you recall how you ended up here?" Halle asked with concern, visiting George Crawford in the hospital.He had driven out of the house but became disoriented, unable to find his way back. Witnesses claimed he started uttering nonsensical statements, prompting the hospital to summon the entire family. However, Margaret and Serena were nowhere to be found.George Crawford was a man who allowed his wife to manipulate and exploit him. He was just a young boy when he fell deeply in love with Margaret, but she saw him as a means to climb the social ladder.After they exchanged vows, everything changed. He lost his sanity, trapped in a loveless marriage. Divorce was out of the question, as it would result in losing a significant portion of his wealth. Margaret, not wanting to be a divorced woman with two daughters, ensured he remained a mere pawn in her game.For the most part of their marriage, Margaret called the shots. Halle stood there, gazing at her father, once full of life, n

Jessica was assigned to accompany him back to the city, and she provided a detailed report to the elite Club about everything that had transpired.With the deeds transferring Patrick Mann's shares to Harvey in his possession, he felt a surge of confidence as he prepared to return to the city. However, he was uncertain about his initial course of action. He couldn't help but ponder how Lana, with her resourcefulness, would have effortlessly navigated the situation.Doubts lingered in his mind regarding Jessica's trustworthiness. While she seldom deviated from matters strictly related to business, he couldn't shake the feeling that her loyalty lay primarily with the elite Club. Lana, on the other hand, was an enigma.In less than an hour, their arrival in the city was imminent. Contemplating his next move, he weighed the options of visiting the Darby family or the Crawford family first. Anticipation coursed through his veins as he imagined the shock on their faces. News would undoubtedl

So, she did what had to be done. She took the child and left him in the last place anyone would think to look - the Crawford house.Yes, Monica's son found refuge with the Crawfords, living under the name Eric Crawford. Halle, against her mother's wishes, bravely adopted him. She even disappeared for a while, allowing people to assume she was simply ashamed and hiding a pregnancy.She chose to endure the judgment and speculation rather than let anyone doubt her role as Eric's true mother. The aristocratic class branded her a disgrace for having a child out of wedlock, forcing her to raise him as a single mother. But none of that mattered to her. She knew his true identity and considered it the least she could do to repay every ounce of pain her family had inflicted upon Monica.The lady slid Monica's journal over to Harvey, and it tore him apart inside. The magnitude of her ordeal was unimaginable, and he couldn't help but frown, clenching his fist tightly as the urge to punch someth
