At this moment, Alice handed over the milk bottle and immediately gave a signal to Isabelle.
“It couldn’t be his child,” Glenda appeared calm, although her face turned cold.
Alice sighed quietly. She whispered to Isabelle, “When Lillie was over a year old, I thought their facial features looked alike. I mentioned it, but Glenda got angry.”
“Why?”
Glenda’s eyes turned cold as she pursed her lips.
Alice said, “I didn’t mention Marin just now. In fact, Marin was the one who wanted to help Glenda the most at the beginning. But Glenda refused and even insulted him. Marin is not an ordinary person. He is very proud. So he never looked for her again.”
“Why do you have to curse?” In Isabelle’s memory, Marin was the most level–headed and fair among those men.
“We were quite disappointed in Marin. He exposed himself in front of Warren, revealing that Glenda had taken Amy to Dracfort Hospital three years ago, leading Warren to believe that you were falsely accusing Amy of faking the kidney donation. Moreover, on the night when you and Glenda were kidnapped by Amy, the thugs sent were – Marin’s men. Glenda hates him because of this.”
Isabelle frowned. She felt that Glenda misunderstood Marin.
In the past, they used to joke that Marin and Glenda could become a

couple.
I didn’t expect that during the three years I was absent, everything has changed.
“But this child…” Isabelle looked at Lillie, who really resembled Marin, “Glenda, maybe you don’t want to remember. But three years ago that night, didn’t you have any contact with Marin?”
Glenda fainted. She recalled being pinned down and raped by a man that night. The scene was chaotic, and she felt pain.
Glenda shook her head vigorously, her eyes welling up with tears, in great distress. “I vaguely remember escaping from the room in the clubhouse, and then I have no recollection. The next day, when I woke up, I found myself back on the bed with those thugs, being held down for photographs… I truly don’t remember. I don’t know who it was!”
“But it couldn’t be Marin!”
Alice explained, “I heard that Marin also had a close call that night and was saved by a woman. But he has already found the woman who saved him. That woman happens to be Glenda’s cousin, Alyvia Weber Marin has already engaged to her. He has ended his engagement with his previous fiancée. I heard that he dotes on Alyvia.”
Isabelle was surprised. She knew that Glenda and Alyvia were archenemies!
Because Alyvia’s father, Quinton, had always been cunningly suppressing Glenda’s father, Keagan Weber.
Glenda’s family used to be prosperous and was often provoked by Alyvia’s family.
Isabelle pondered and realized that perhaps Glenda had some ambiguity towards Marin back then. Marin having a relationship with

Alyvia undoubtedly dealt another blow to Glenda.
Therefore, Isabelle grew to hate Marin even more.
Isabelle sighed in her heart. She hesitated and looked at Lillie, “Perhaps it’s just a coincidence. Regardless of who Lillie’s biological father is, she is a gift from heaven to you.”
When it comes to her daughter, Glenda is filled with love. However, her daughter’s small face only makes her feel even more burdened.
Isabelle didn’t see her expression. She held Lillie and silently said in her heart, “Maybe soon you will have a brother to play with.”
In the past three years, nobody knew about Max’s existence except for David.
Isabelle didn’t want to tell Glenda. She was afraid that if the news leaked out, her son would be taken away.
Isabelle couldn’t afford this risk, so she decided to wait for a while.
“Everything will get better, Glenda. I promise, your family will prosper. I will never let you and your daughter, as well as your parents, suffer again.”
Before leaving, Isabelle left a check with the amount of 160 thousand dollars and said this sentence.
Glenda’s eyes were filled with tears. It had been a long time since her eyes had sparkled. She wanted to speak but hesitated.
Isabelle opened the door and walked out directly, blinking her eyes.
Alice chased after him, feeling both worried and happy. “Glenda cried. You have always been her pillar of support. Now that you’re back, it’s a great encouragement for her. But you asked about our situation, yet we

know nothing about the hardships you’ve endured all these years. Why do you have so much money?”
“Of course, it was earned.”
Isabelle worked as a doctor for three years and also worked as a jewelry designer, earning a lot of money. What made her speechless was that Max often used the computer to supplement the household expenses. She didn’t know what he was doing.
Thinking of Max, Isabelle smiled. But thinking of Lillie, she felt guilty, “I will definitely give Lillie a stable childhood.”
“Don’t take all of Glenda’s problems upon yourself… Alyvia targeted Glenda. This was one of the reasons that led to Glenda’s miserable life.”
“Alyvia came to Glenda recently and told her that Marin’s brother, Cornelius Hubbard, might be Lillie’s father. It was said that three years ago that night, Cornelius was also at the club. Cornelius was a bad man, not only liking women but also engaging in sexual activities with men. Glenda was terrified and moved here to hide.”
“We were afraid that Cornelius would see Lillie one day and get involved with Glenda. It would be terrible if the Hubbard family tried to take the child.”
So that’s why Glenda refused to tell Isabelle the address.
Isabelle suddenly asked, “And Marin? Has he seen Lillie?”
Alice shook her head, “Ever since Marin and Alyvia got engaged, -Glenda and him haven’t been in touch. Actually, I wonder how Marin reacted when he saw Lillie. But now we suspect that Cornelius might be Lillie’s father, and that would explain the resemblance.”
“Alyvia definitely buttered up Amy. She was like a lapdog to Amy,

suppressing Glenda.”
Talking and talking, Amy still doesn’t let go of Glenda!
Isabelle’s breathing grew heavier, and the things she needed to do became increasingly clear in her mind.
Isabelle returned to her apartment exhausted and feeling heavy- hearted. She didn’t want Max to notice, so she sent a text message to Enya. Just then, David sent her the details of Wesley’s murder case in prison, and Isabelle began to study it carefully.

Warren had the driver take the children back to Yvlan Villa.
He drove to the cemetery and visited the grave of his other son. He sat there for a while in silence.
Only when Warren sat here did he suddenly realize that the mood he had seen the woman in the morning had vanished.
“Felix, I went back. I’ll come see you next time.”
Warren stood up straight and flicked away his cigarette butt.
Felix and Joyce were the nicknames given by Warren to his twin sons.
This is a forbidden place, he had never brought Joyce here. Joyce didn’t know that he had once had a younger brother.
Warren took a deep breath and drove back to the villa.
As soon as Amy entered the door, a faint fragrance wafted over. “You’re back,” she said.
Amy was wearing a white dress, sexy yet pure, with spaghetti straps

revealing her collarbone and shoulders. As she slightly bent over to hand him the shoes, her chest caught attention, making it hard for men to resist.
Warren just glanced and calmly moved away.
He glanced at the living room and furrowed his brows slightly, “Amy, where is Joyce?”
Amy looked helpless and said, “I don’t know what’s on this child’s mind lately. He came back and ignored me, and went straight to his grandmother’s villa.”
Warren wanted to find Joyce.
Could Amy waste this rare opportunity to be alone with Warren? She immediately wrapped her arms around Warren’s waist and asked, “Warren, how did the treatment go today?”
Her eyes were filled with anticipation. “The returned medical records stated that all your indicators were normal. I knew this traditional doctor was extraordinary! After just one consultation, you showed improvement. Finally, your condition took a turn for the better. Tonight, while Joyce is not here, let’s give it another try…”
Amy didn’t know that the doctor was Isabelle!
Warren avoided the topic, looking tired. “Amy, I promised my son that I would accompany him to sleep starting from tonight.”
“But isn’t Joyce still at his grandmother’s? We still have some time before bed. Let’s have dinner first, I have prepared a candlelit dinner!”
Amy kissed Warren on the chin and then turned around to the kitchen to serve the steak.
Warren watched her figure as she walked away, her white dress

fluttering.
For some reason, he suddenly had an image in his mind of a woman wearing a white coat, looking both cold and enchanting.
Wearing the same white clothes, Isabelle looked very charming. In the morning, he couldn’t take his eyes off her.
Damn it… Warren frowned in frustration as he realized what he had been thinking.
He threw the lighter on the table!
“What’s wrong?” Amy walked back, puzzled.
