"You shouldn't have asked, Pete. You should have just woken me up."
Suddenly, a surprised Shannon glanced at Aland who had woken up over dinner. She grabbed Aland's hand to grip it."I'm sorry for having to get up. But I think eating together will make us bond more with Junior."Suddenly, Aland's face who had just woken up turned pale. So did Pete who swallowed hard before finally clearing his throat."I guess I haven't bought mineral water and salad yet. So, I'll be back as soon as possible."Unfortunately, Shannon refused. She held Pete back from eating what she had bought rather than bothering Pete again, who was like a dad to her."We'll eat what you got, Pete. No need to buy anything else. Whatever it is, I'll eat it as long as we eat together."Pete let out a long sigh. He nodded his head slowly before sitting back down on the stool at the dining table.Aland tried to string words together. Like it or not, he had to tell Shannon the truth even t

Accompanied by Aland, Shannon has just entered the police station with a reliable lawyer. In front of the interrogation room, Shannon, Aland, and Pete were being questioned about Jill Reynolds, whose old case was now reopened after Camellia's testimony last night was revealed. "Every night, I used to hear my mum sing a song before finally going back to tell Camellia about the past that she kept repeating. At first, I just felt horrible every time I heard Mum's story. But after she found out that I had peeped at her, she no longer forgot to lock the door. Anyway, ever since both of them first came home, Mum has been busy putting Lia to bed. And it was only recently that I realised that the music was digital brainwave stimulation music that could penetrate the brainwave frequency, and then continued with the story that Jill had built up, as if that was what had actually happened. Maybe that's why Camellia had forgotten her past." Frey nodded in confirmation after c

Both of Shannon's hands were on the table, trying to welcome Lia's hand, that was no longer handcuffed to the prisoner's clothes. Shannon's head nodded slowly, convincing Lia to hold her hand even though there were many people guarding Shannon, as if Lia were someone who could no longer be trusted. Camellia hesitated. She lifted her hand slowly, then welcomed the hand of Shannon, who sat across the table. Her eyes glazed over when she saw Shannon smiling sincerely at her. "Because I know that the Camellia I know is still the kind Camellia who accompanied me at school. Who looked after me when it rained? Who played in the snow with me when mum was busy." Suddenly, Aland also looked down because he was holding a tightness in his chest. He knew he could never find another good woman out there who resembled his beloved wife. In fact, it wasn't just Aland, even Camellia herself burst into tears. She even immediately got up and moved, hugging Shanno

"What if you keep harassing her, Aland? We have to help Lia, don't we? Didn't you see her change earlier? She's even regretted all her rash actions. We could just do her a favour, get her an experienced lawyer, then make her sentence as low as possible with all her remorse."Aland shook his head slowly. He was busy preparing some materials for a meeting with some shareholders regarding the money from Lia's corruption. After all, the shareholders had full rights to the money that had been stolen over the years."If you do that, she will never learn from her mistakes. Lia even asked you not to do anything, didn't she? She's already asked you not to commute her sentence. She may have changed, but her punishment cannot be changed, Shannon. Camellia must accept her punishment. Let them walk in the destiny they have made, hun."Shannon paused, then sat down in front of Aland, who was still busy behind the desk. She looked at Aland's face, which was still serious as he stared a

"What can I find out about Arthur, Shannon? Just like with Jill. I can't trust anything of his answers. One thing is for sure, I need no more from Arthur now that everything is put back in its proper place and seeing him punished makes me so content."Shannon nodded in understanding, then lovingly straightened Aland's tie."If that makes you happy, I'll be happy too. At least we'll still be together, heading to our future world."Aland glanced at the clock on his wrist and immediately kissed Shannon lightly on the cheek."It's time, Shannon. Go lead the meeting and amaze them again with that brilliant woman of yours." Aland's hands clenched into fists, encouraging his wife with a smile.Shannon laughed even harder. She covered her mouth with her right forefinger before nodding and leaving. "Goodbye, Aland. Drive carefully and lemme know if you find out anything."Aland held both thumbs up to his chest and left Shannon's room at Reynolds Industries for the par

Aland had just arrived at JF Moulding when Henry greeted him with a beaming smile. He hugs Henry gently and heads to the upgraded design workspace. Two well-organised desks at the far end of the room, with the best lighting, allowed Henry and his new partner to work to their full potential."Is your room working well?" Aland asked curiously.Although the idea of an overhauled workspace did come from him, the arrangement and creation of appropriate furniture was the wish of Henry and his partner according to function and needs.Obviously, Henry nodded in affirmation. "We were really helped, Mr Fischer. Thank you for trusting us.""It's my pleasure, Mr Henry. If you give us your best at work, why can't we give you the best place for your best work?"Henry welcomed Aland in to demonstrate the prototype furniture, which was immediately functional. He pointed out the side of the desk that was attached to the reading cabinet."This looks like a normal desk, Mr Fisc

"Sorry, but can you say it again, Aland? Where are you going?"Shannon's question, which was filled with indecision, made Aland pause for a moment, before finally providing the information about the Duke get from Pete."Since the beginning, I've been curious about Jill's case, Hun. And see, it's evident that your mum planned everything from the beginning. About Duke, how did she get a lawyer who was willing to help with Jill's secret case, who vanished on the way to take his client to move and certify the client's new identity? And how can Jill feel so innocent when she meets Duke's brother? One thing is for sure, Shannon. Your mum has her eye on everything. From the Reynolds' lawyer, to the lawyer's family, to where they live, to how to gain their sympathy without paying. And look. She's really on top of things in just over a year. After that, what else? Your dad's death. And I'm also sure your dad's death was deliberate on Jill's part. Just like my dad's death."Hearin

"Where are you going, hun? Just leave it. I'll wash all the dishes myself. Get some rest, please. You're tired from working all day long," Aland coaxed. He had taken over all the dishes that Shannon wanted to take to the washing sink.But Shannon insisted on cleaning them herself. After all, if she didn't want to be considered missing from the household. Both of her hands took back the pile of dishes that her husband had previously held back."I haven't contributed at all to cooking dinner, Aland. At least lemme contribute by cleaning up.""No, Shannon." This time, Aland did not want to restrain himself. In front of Pete, who had given him so much advice, he was not at all shy about showing his affection for his beloved wife. "Listen, Shannon. I want to apologise in advance if you feel that I'm holding you back from standing on your own. I mean, it's not like that. You just had a miscarriage. And there are other organs that you need to take care of. At the very least, yo

"Will Smith? So early morning? Don't joke around!"Jill's eyes widened in excitement. Because the clock had not yet struck seven when Will Smith came to visit the nearby police station.Jill wasn't the only one who was surprised. Even Arthur, who was sleeping soundly, immediately woke up when he heard Smith's name mentioned by the police officer on duty.Camellia heard the same thing clearly. Although her curiosity was peaked, she suppressed her curiosity as much as possible so that she wouldn't have to talk to Jill for too long.Unfortunately, Jill was immediately bemused when the officer on duty nodded in confirmation."Did you hear that? Instead of calling and defending Arthur, who has been his client for a long time, Will Smith called me without me having to ask. He knows who to defend. That's why he came here before anyone else."From the prison on the side, a yawning Arthur was startled and got up hurriedly. "Don't be too happy, mum. I know Mr Smith lik
