    can''t defeat them in two years, I willpletely lose the opportunity when the high officials who plotted that ident are promoted once again."


    Hendrix''s tone was calm but convincing. If he did not proceed, he might regret it for the rest of his life. Sometimes, opportunities could not withstand


    the trial of time.

    had expected that I wouldn''t let go, and had decided to go with the legal procedures


    Anne immediately went over and huggedn. "Unclen!"


    lan smiled and rubbed her head. Thewyer next to him announced, "Miss Reid, I''m here on behalf of Mr.n to talk about the child''s custody.”


    I frowned and walked over while holding my belly. “Don''t discuss this in front of the kid.”


    I turned around and ordered Minnie, who was in the kitchen, to bring Anne upstairs. Then we sat down in the living room.


    an sat opposite me with his hands


    in his pockets. He didn''t even nce


    me, but hig-Tawyer spoke with

    that your focus on your family''s


    happiness will affect the‘growth of

    the initiative to give up on the
