Bryce got up when they were done with dinner, with Jacob and Andy following suit. Max and the others walked them back to the hotel. Their hotel was right upstairs.With his keen observation skills, Tobin had figured out the reason Bryce had been eying Mariposa's wrist. After all, he had prior experience from buying countless dolls and toys on behalf of Bryce recently.Once Bryce went into his room, Tobin called Mariposa. "May I ask where you bought the bracelet you were wearing tonight? What brand was it from?"Mariposa replied, "I bought it from Gwenzel. It's a Cartier bracelet."Tobin replied, "Alright. Thank you."It was merely an innocent question, yet it made Mariposa start speculating once again. She assumed that Bryce had prompted Tobin to give her a hint.Coincidentally, Max brought a set of documents over to her. "Send these documents to Mr. Gabelman's room, Ms. Perez. Whether tomorrow's deal can be closed depends on you now."They were well aware of the unspoken rule

Moses fell silent. He whispered, "I'll think about it. Thank you."Bryce smiled and replied, "You're welcome."After he ended the call, Holly asked curiously, "What illness did Moses have when he was younger? Why would it even affect his fertility?"Bryce casually tossed his phone onto the coffee table. He replied, "He had acute lymphoblastic leukemia."Holly's heart skipped a beat. "It was something as serious as leukemia?"Bryce said, "Yes. He was only three years old when he was diagnosed, and he needed a bone marrow transplant. There wasn't a suitable match in the marrow registry back then. It would take a long time for them to wait for a donor."Aunt Queenie couldn't wait that long, so she got pregnant with a second child and used the second child's cord blood to treat him. Fortunately, his sister's cord blood matched perfectly with Moses."He continued, "He stayed in the sterile room for over a month after the hematopoietic stem cell transplant. When he came out, everythin

Moses drove Nina home after the dinner.Nina was a cheerful and carefree person. She carried a sense of innocence as she was the youngest in her family and was well protected by the Gabelmans from the harshness of society.She talked nonstop along the way, animatedly recounting interesting stories. Moses listened with a smile on his face, occasionally replying to her.This was their dynamic since they were young—one would talk while the other would listen, and one was lively while the other smiled along.…Soon, they arrived at the Gabelman residence. Moses got out of his car to walk Nina back.It was a cold night. Even the moon hid behind the clouds. There were few pedestrians on the road other than the occasional laughing children and people out for a stroll.Moses and Nina walked side by side together. After a while, he asked, "Why haven't you had a boyfriend yet?"Nina grinned wide with a glint in her eyes. "Mom told me that it's better to be careful and not settle for an

Moses smirked and said, "I remember her. Her father went to jail because of corruption. Since you think highly of her, why don't you get together with her instead? I wish you both the best."He then went into his room. Samantha was about to follow him in when he slammed the door shut.She then went downstairs with a sharp rebuff. She then complained incessantly to Quirina.Quirina's expression turned somber after hearing what Samantha said. "If Moses marries Nina in the future, Arthur will definitely hand the company over to Bryce. Levi's prospect would be bleak then!"Samantha randomly quipped, "It wouldn't be bad for Bryce to take over, actually."Quirina reached out to poke her forehead. "Don't be stupid! You're Levi's fiancée now. Bryce is your enemy! It's a matter of survival of the fittest in families like ours. The consequences of losing would be brutal!"Samantha frowned and asked, "What should we do, then?"Quirina said, "Arthur used to favor Levi. Things started to c

Michelle stared at Holly before breaking into a weak smile. "I never thought… I'd be alive… to see both of you again."She couldn't catch her breath after speaking.Holly wanted to help ease Michelle's breathing by patting her chest. Yet she was so weak that Holly dared not even touch her.She hurriedly said, "Please don't tire yourself from speaking anymore, Granny Michelle."Michelle coughed and said breathlessly, "Don't call me that anymore. Just call me 'Granny,' like Abel does."Holly hesitated before calling gently, "Granny."Michelle let out a heavy sigh. A strange gleam flickered in her cloudy eyes.The door was opened. A tall man dressed in black casual clothes walked in. He was handsome and sported a crew cut. It was Abelin.He paused momentarily when he saw Holly. Surprise surged within him, compelling him to say something cheerful. Yet he hesitated—it was rather inappropriate, after all.Abelin contained his surprise and asked casually, "Why are you guys here?"
