Suppressing her revulsion, Elsa handed over a bank card. “Don’t seek me out on your own accord anymore. If there’s anything, just call me.”
Agnes, with a gleeful smile, left with the bank card in her hand.
Before she left, she reassured Elsa, “Trust me, I’ll handle it. Just wait for the good news.”
As Agnes departed, Elsa silently clenched her fists. It isn’t my fault, really. If Colton hadn’t gradually shown his growing affection for Cynthia, I would never have ended up in this situation.
Elsa thought if there was anyone to blame, it could only be Cynthia.
Inside the banquet hall, as Colton passed by a certain corner, he suddenly heard hushed. whispers of conversation emanating from within.
“Who would have thought Francesca… Wait… No. Who would have thought Cynthia actually had two such grown–up children? Didn’t she divorce Mr. Zeller five years ago? Where did the children come from?”
“You know what? They really let loose abroad, especially since they can’t just get abortions… We’re still not sure if the two kids even have the same father.”
“That’s true. However, I can’t help but notice that those two kids bear a striking resemblance to Mr. Zeller… What if… Well, wouldn’t Elsa be infuriated?”
The conversation between the two quickly shifted to various complaints about Elsa. Suddenly, Colton appeared before them,
The two were instantly scared half to death, hastily apologizing with pale faces, “Mr. Zeller! We just spoke out of turn. We’re truly sorry! We’ll leave right away!”
Before the two could manage to escape, Colton halted them. “Stand still.”
The two of them nervously halted their steps.
As they were lost in their elaborate fantasies about how their family could go bankrupt, Colton furrowed his brows and asked, “Did you just say those two kids resemble me?”
Many details that had been present all along began to connect, gradually forming an incredible hypothesis in Colton’s mind.
The two of them exchanged glances, never expecting that Colton had stopped them just to
hear such an answer.

One of the women responded nervously, “I just thought their features and contours bore a slight resemblance to yours, Mr. Zeller…”
Colton’s face was shrouded in darkness, making it impossible to discern his expression.
Taking advantage of the situation, the two women fled.
Standing quietly in place for a moment, Colton pulled out his phone and dialed Timothy’s number. “Get in touch with Mr. Collings. I need to know all the medical information about the child who was admitted today,” he instructed.
At that moment, Cynthia was anxiously waiting outside the operating room for Lukas” surgery to conclude. Anna and Yoel also arrived, accompanied by Fergus.
Upon seeing Fergus, Luna immediately shot him a fierce glare. “Murderer!”
Anna’s brows furrowed slightly, her voice gentle as she said to Luna, “Luna, you’ve misunderstood Fergus. He said he originally intended to hold on to Lukas, but unexpectedly, Lukas fell. It was all a misunderstanding.”
“It’s not true!” Luna shouted in anger. “He was clearly the one who pushed!”
At this point, Fergus also stepped forward, appearing utterly helpless. “Luna, you’ve really misunderstood… I-
“The surgery is over.”
At that moment, Cynthia suddenly spoke up, her gaze falling on the operating room’s door.
A pale–faced Lukas was pushed out.
“His surgery was a success. It’s crucial to be extra cautious over the next two months. For now, he should stay in the hospital for observation,” the doctor advised Cynthia with a serious expression.
Cynthia gave a nod.
Just before she was about to follow Lukas into the ward, she suddenly turned her head and gave Fergus a deep look. “That corner has a surveillance camera,” she said. “We’ll soon find out exactly what’s going on.”
Upon hearing this, Anna furrowed her brows, ready to speak. However, Yoel held her back, subtly shaking his head in a barely noticeable gesture.
In the end, Fergus was just a child, and his face changed immediately.
He instinctively scanned his surroundings, but he couldn’t find the figure he was desperately

“I…” Fergus stood rooted to the spot, hesitating for a long while before he suddenly burst into tears. “I only heard that they were my father’s children! Why is it that they can be loved by everyone, but I can’t!”
His crying intensified, and in the midst of his emotional outburst, he fainted before he could. even catch his breath.
