    On the other side.


    The Kinsmans’ residence was brightly lit.

    When William returned home with Ezra in his arms, Lucian’s personal doctor was already waiting for


    them alongside a restless Gianna.


    Never in her wildest dreams would Gianna have imagined that William would bring back the little ba


    stard not just alive but unscathed.


    It wasn’t easy for her to find an opportunity to kill him without anyone noticing.


    She didn’t expect to fail again.


    “What went wrong?!” she wondered.


    William handed the child to the doctor, Jameson Smith. “Something strange happened to Luci. He can


    speak now. Please give him a thorough examination.”


    Everyone was shocked. Jameson’s eyes even widened as he said, “Really?”


    Lucian’s illness was a huge problem that had been guing him for five years. Even the world’s best


    medical experts couldn’t make Lucian speak. How did he recover after going missing?


    Ezra sighed helplessly. “Really!”


    He had no choice but to pretend that he had recovered from a serious illness and allowed other people


    to examine him.


    However, he had many ways to prevent these idiots from discovering that he was a fake.


    When Jameson heard that Lucian finally opening his mouth to speak, he shivered with excitement and


    immediately carried the boy upstairs.


    He needed to figure out what had happened to the boy immediately!


    Ezra allowed himself to be upstairs, but he suddenly felt a cold murderous gaze fall on him. He looked


    over vigntly and found that the gaze came from a beautiful woman with tears in her eyes.


    His first instinct was that she wasn’t a good person!


    “Who is this beautiful woman?


    “My scu mbag dad’s second wife?


    “My stepmom?” he wondered.


    In therge, ornate living room of the Kinsman’s residence, William was sitting on the couch with his


    slender legs crossed. He took off his ck coat, revealing the well-made white shirt he was wearing


    underneath. His sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, and he looked noble and


    calm.


    Gianna stood beside him, feeling uneasy.


    She never thought that the ba stard would not juste back unscathed, but even started speaking!


    That brat knew too many of her secrets.


    He might even know that she was responsible for his fall at the cemetery. She decided that she couldn’t


    just sit around and wait for that brat to expose her crime.


    So, she asked worriedly, “William, what happened to Luci? The woman who kidnapped him… Did you


    find out who she is?”


    She bit her lip and started analyzing the situation with bloodshot eyes. “What has she done to Luci?


    How did she make him speak in just a day? This is too strange. We can’t just let her go!”


    Her voice made William even more annoyed. He closed his eyes to rest his mind, saying, “I’ll deal with


    this. It’s gettingte. You should go.”


    Gianna refused to do so.


    She wouldn’t be at ease until she shifted the me to the mysterious woman, and she needed to keep


    an eye on the brat and shut him up too.


    “William, can you let me stay here tonight? I’m… I’m worried about Luci.”


    Moreover, they were getting married soon.


    But until now, she had not even touched William’s hand. His attitude toward her today had clearly


    worsened because of the ba sta rd, too. She couldn’t just leave like this.


    Unfortunately for her, William wasn’t in the mood to deal with her at all. He opened his dark eyes and


    red at her as a warning “Go back!”


    It was clear from the look in his eyes that he was about to lose his temper


    12:39 D


    Gianna didn’t dare to be presumptuous anymore. She had no choice but to leave the Kinsmans’


    residence.


    The moment she got into her car, her expression changed, and the viciousness under her delicate


    makeup came into full view. She tossed her bag on the seat and questioned her a**istant, who was


    driving the car, in a gloomy voice. “What the hell is going on? I told you to throw that brat off the


    mountain, didn’t I? How did hee back safe and sound?” she shouted.


    That brat not only returned, but even started speaking!


    He was like a ticking time bomb!


    If that brat revealed her secrets, everything she had worked for so many years would be finished.


    Damian rke, her a**istant, didn’t know what went wrong either. He said, “Don’t be upset, Miss


    rke. There’s something strange about this. I did send someone to throw young Mr. Kinsman down


    the mountain, but I heard the mysterious woman had nothing to do with his rescue!”


    “She’s not involved? Then what’s going on? Go and check it out!”


    “Yes, Miss!” There was one more thing that Damian had to report, so he said, “One more thing, Miss.”


    “What is it now?”


    “The organizer of the charity g tonight sent us a message saying that you’ve been banned from the


    event. But what’s worse is that they’ve made the news public. You’re now trending online.”


    “Shocking news! Gianna rke, the Charity Princess of Melburgh, made fraudulent donations!”


    “Gianna rke exposed!”


    “Fake phnthropist Gianna rke is apparently banned from the International Council of Nonprofits!”


    “Gianna rke has been removed from the guest list of the charity g!”


    Several headlines became instant trending topics, and their poprity was still growing.


    The headlines were even tagged with the word “HOT.”


    Gianna’s face distorted with anger as she checked the trending topics on Twitter as well as the growing


    number of rted tweets on her


    tablet.


    “Find out who’s behind this! Now!”


    Her hands were trembling nonstop from anger, but also mostly fear.


    She had gone through the news and tweets in a hurry just now. The more she read, the more flustered


    she became. That was because the


    news was true.


    In recent years, she had worked hard to be a phnthropist in old Mr. Kinsman’s name and became the


    Charity Princess in Melburgh. She had won many supporters and even the Kinsmans’ favor.


    But she knew better than anyone else that she didn’t care about other people’s suffering at all.


    To her, ordinary people deserved to struggle in this capitalist hell. Even giving them a hand made her


    feel offended.


    Never mind actually doing charity for them!


    “Rest a**ured, Miss rke. I’m already on it. We’ll find the culprit!” Damian couldn’t help butfort


    her.


    Gianna came back to her senses when she felt a sharp pain in her palm. Her eyes turned vicious as


    she said, “Contact the g organizer. I’m attending no matter the price!”


    She had made a pact with William that they would get married after she received the International


    Nonprofit Am ba**ador Award.


    She had done so many things and nned for so long before finally getting his agreement. She


    wouldn’t let anything or anyone stop her from marrying William!


    ‘Til kill anyone who gets in my way!


    “l kill them like I killed that old man and Olivia!”


    Ambrose Hospital.


    Even though Lucian hadn’t woken up yet, his condition had always been stable. Olivia, who had been


    staying beside him the entire time, was checking thetest news using herptop.


    Seeing more and more people scolding Gianna online, she leaned into the couch in a cozy,nguid


    manner.


    “It’s been five years, Gianna rke. How do you like this gift?


    “But it doesn’t matter if you don’t like it. This is just the beginning.


    12:39 T


    “I promise I’ll let you experience what it feels like to have your beloved push you to hell step by step,”


    she thought.


    Then Olivia raised her hand and instructed Gideon, “You can start the second round in an hour.”
