Chapter 0549 [Valeria, Present Day] "Laura, let's try something. I'll knock on Maximus's door maybe hearing a different voice will make him open it." "Alright..." Serenity knocked on Maximus's door, but there was no response. Thinking for a moment, she said: "Laura, Maximus's room is on the first floor. His room has windows, right?" "Yes!" "Exactly! We can get in that way. Follow me...” The two young women reached the window, but they'd have to climb over a small wall to get there. Given Laura's current condition, that would be too risky. Serenity sent Laura back into the mansion, planning to climb in and unlock the door from the inside.
After scaling the wall, Serenity jumped into the room. Inside, she found a meticulously clean and well-decorated space. Maximus was sprawled out on the bed, an empty bottle of alcohol on the floor. He was clearly drunk and had passed out.
Serenity went to open the door for Laura. When Laura entered and saw him in such a pitiful state, her heart broke.

It was already nighttime, and Laura insisted Serenity stay over rather than drive. They decided to sleep in the sroom. As Serenity watched her sister, she couldn't believe that this girl, with such a childlike face, would soon be a mother.
"Hey, Serenity!" A soft voice broke Serenity's thoughts.
"Hey!" she said, turning to look at her sister.
"Did you sleep well?" "Yeah, and you?" "Good... I still can't believe it!" "Are you excited?" "Very! Can you imagine what my baby will look like?" "Do you love the baby's father?" "Yes! He's amazing! I hope you can meet him in person soon, but look, here he is." Laura took out her phone and showed Serenity a photo of herself with a young man.
Serenity saw an attractive young guy, but something in his eyes unsettled her. Her father's words echoed in her mind. Now, seeing things from a more mature perspective, she understood. But she kept her thoughts to herself.
"He's wonderful! I'm sure he'll be happy when you tell him.' "Let's hope so! Have you thought about what you'd do if he doesn't accept the baby?" "No way! I'm 100% sure he'll be thrilled." 1/3 +25 BONUS Chapter 0549 "Laura..." "I'll tell you more later..." "I hope you'll have good news to share.” "I will!" "Hey... Can I ask you something?" "Of course, what is it?" "What was it like?" "What was what like?" "Your first time!" "Oh, stop..." "No, seriously, I haven't done anything. I've been so focused on other things that by the tI looked up, the guys I was interested in were already with someone else." "But you're beautiful! I didn't think you..." "Yeah, I haven't done anything. I've barely dated, and the boyfriend I had was just a teenage fling." "Oh, I see. Adrian's my first boyfriend... It was all so... well, so... special!" While the sisters chatted about love and life, in Maximus's room, he struggled to wake up. Fumbling, he grabbed his ringing phone and finally managed to answer.
"Peter better have a good reason for this," he grumbled, his voice serious.
"Mr. Palmer, this is Frederick Sanders, Marcus Bartz's assistant." A "Oh, damn it. What do you want? I'm not with the company anymore-letsleep." "Sir, I'm sorry to bother you, but I wouldn't if it wasn't necessary. I have information regarding an investigation into your family, and you need to hear it." "Frederick, today's not a good day. I'm not feeling great and won't be fully attentive to whatever you need to tell me." "It's best you cin, or at least let us know when we can meet with you." "I don't have a choice, do I?" "Not this time, sir." "Damn it, my head..." "Let Mr. Bartz know I'll be there in an hour and a half." "Understood, sir. We'll be waiting."
