"I am now more certain than ever that the fortune teller was right. Leah is our lucky star, while Charmaine will
only bring us disaster. Thank goodness we made the right choice back then!"
Willard gently patted Olympia's shoulder as she sobbed. Then, he recalled the past in a low voice.
"Do you remember? Before you gave birth, we met a fortune teller. He told us that this child had a weak fate,
that her destiny clashed with us. If we kept her in the Nelsons, it would only bring misfortune. Our family would
suffer one calamity after another, and those closest to us would face endless misfortunes because of her.
"She was the daughter we had longed for. Of course, we didn't believe him! | cursed that fortune teller on the
spot-almost got into a fight with him! It was you who stopped me."
Willard's gaze darkened, heavy with old memories. "Then cthe day of your labor. Your water broke suddenly,
and we rushed to the hospital in a panic. But you suffered complications during childbirth. And as if that wasn't
enough... the hospital lost
for an entire hour. You nearly-"

"| didn't dare to. You carried her for 10 months-I couldn't bear to let you know."
Willard sighed deeply. "Before you woke up, | went to see her in the incubator. She was sleeping soundly, her
eyes closed. But for sreason, just looking at her sent a chill down my spine. It was an indescribable feeling
as if sunseen force had tied her fate to ours, inescapable and terrifying.
"For the first tin my life, | thought... it would be better if we had never had this daughter.
"But even then, | never considered abandoning her. She was our child, our flesh and blood. Then, one day, she
suddenly recovered and your fever broke. | watched her sleep peacefully in your arms, and for the first tin
days, | felt like the sun had returned to my world. | thought maybe... maybe the heavens had softened their
hearts.
“For years, the Nelsons thrived. Our family remained safe and prosperous. The dark prophecy never ctrue.
Leah becour little princess, the joy of our home. And when it mattered most, she even saved Milo's life at
the beach! Everything pointed to one truth-our daughter wasn't a curse. She was our lucky star!"
Willard chuckled bitterly. "But who would've thought... fate was only playing a cruel joke on us. Leah isn't our
daughter. Charmaine is.
"The moment she returned, our family knew no peace. Even the company took a hit. And now, Milo ... | never
thought that fortune teller's words would be this accurate.
"But at least Leah doesn't hold grudges. Even though Milo was briefly misled and distanced himself from her, she
never blamed him. She's been doing everything she can to find him. Maybe just maybe, with her luck, Milo will
survive this, too.
"As for Charmaine we should cut ties with her for good."

Upon hearing that, Olympia's head snapped up. Her swollen, red eyes burned with fury. Her voice trembled with
restrained anger. "What do you mean? | gave that girl life, and instead of gratitude, she repaidwith betrayal.
She got my son killed! And you want to just let this go?"
Willard's eves flickered "What choice do we have? You saw it yourself-we have no solid evidence. What can

Olympia clutched her mouth, stifling her sobs. She didn't understand the business world, nor did she care

All she wanted was justice for her son.
However, Willard was right. Milo was gone. How could she bear to see their eldest son risk everything for
revenge?
Sensing her despair, Willard held her close and comforted her. "We will act as if we never had this daughter. The
Reads are already in trouble. Leah won't go back to them. We will keep her as our own. Our family will remain
whole-just as it was before."
Olympia said nothing and buried her face in his chest. Soon, her sobs grew quieter, until they faded into silence.
Willard gazed forward blankly while patting his wife's back in comfort, but deep within his eyes, something
unfathomable stirred.
The Nelsons spared no effort in searching for their son. Every possible resource, every means of communication,
was put to use. Before long, the news of Milo's disappearance had spread throughout the entire city.
