He was outside his house, in the car, waiting for the call with the last details.Simon had quickly analyzed the negative impact all this could have on the Leclercs. What part of the importance of those dates did the Taylors not understand?If he looked at it emotionally, his heart shrank thinking that those parents didn't know where their baby was or didn't have the certainty that he was alive.His worry was that Robert Graham already knew, he had no proof, but he knew.The first thing Simon did since Robert left his office that afternoon was to call Henry, but he didn’t answer. He tried a bit more, but the matter was very urgent because Robert Graham was a ticking time bomb.Why had Henry Taylor brought him into the company?! Why had he brought that huge problem to him?!Without getting any answers and seeing the danger Robert posed, Simon Leclerc began to act on his own, he couldn’t wait for it to be too late when Henry Taylor decided to fix things.It was his duty to prevent disas

They were alone, he and his wife, Alice had gone to Jared's house, she didn't want to talk or see anyone. Her mother was very worried because she had been deeply shocked at that place, Robert's lies, and all the pain it revived.“I don’t want to see Alice sad again, Simon. Do you remember when... I had a miscarriage threat with our first pregnancy? Thinking about losing it filled me with uncontrollable sadness and that was just the possibility, Alice’s pain has been so great that now Robert wants to make her believe he might be alive. How can he be so heartless? He’s a child he didn’t even know. Doing this to Alice just shows how deranged he is. She held him in her arms and I can swear I’ve never seen that look in her eyes before, and I think I'll never see it again. Working with him was very rash on dad’s part. A colossal mistake.”“And that’s just after two days, I can’t imagine what might happen later.”“I want you to be the one to talk to dad. He always listens to what you say. Te

I felt that for seconds my heart was beating so slowly that I was going to faint, and then its beats fiercely pounded my chest, and in that room, alone, the two of us, the space around Alice became so small that she felt her sister breathing in front of her.Was it a joke? She didn't want it to be a joke, but she was afraid it might be.Did it make sense?What were all those words? Sofia had laid everything out very clearly over and over, but now she didn't know if she had to take that as truth.So... was Robert telling the truth? Had he always spoken the truth when he said there was no grave or that the report was fake?She blinked several times and finally closed her eyes, unable to bear the burning in them."It was for the good of both of you, Alice. Dad wanted to fix what he did, you know that marriage was a total mistake," she approached her little sister and took her cold hands, pressing them to her face. "Alice... listen to me. It has hurt you a lot, but it's time for you to be

The lady who had been taking care of Ethan welcomed them, pointing the desperate Alice to where her son was. She ran to the room where they said her son was sleeping, and in the middle of that space was a huge crib, and inside… Inside was her son. She had promised herself not to cry, she cried for months, she cried on the way there, but seeing Ethan... she smiled. She broke into a huge, wide smile that lit up the entire place because it was filled with happiness and relief. She walked silently towards the crib and leaned her arms on it, bending down next to her son. Her hand trembled as she reached out to touch him, and he stirred when he felt that trembling hand, letting out a whimper from being woken up. Alice marveled at hearing that sound from her son. The lady who was taking care of him was about to approach, but Mary didn't allow it and took her out of the room, leaving Alice alone with her son. She saw him as a newborn, and the baby in front of her was already about

Mr. Taylor was well-versed in Charisse Sinclair's history, having studied it thoroughly, understanding her condition, the duration of her state, and, crucially for his purposes, the offer he would make to Jared Sinclair. It was an irresistible proposition, fair and involving an exchange.Simon Leclerc had shared his concerns about Robert Graham's apparent new ally, Bethany Walton, indicating that Robert was not going to give up easily. With strong winds brewing on the horizon, it was a relief to Mr. Taylor that Alice had already adopted Harvey Taylor and was staying in the United States.Now, in front of him, still the "boyfriend" of his daughter and the current president of Graham Group, was Jared. Behind the closed doors of his office, it was just the two of them, alone."Mr. Taylor…""Wait, don't jump ahead without hearing what I have to say, Jared," he warned, noting Jared's very serious expression, which was understandable."I can't go with Alice to the United States," Jared sai
