Jonathan nodded, “I’ll make sure this gets done for you. Also, I’m transferring 5% of the Bennett Group shares to Nina. The dividends from the Bennett Group each year can ensure her a life of wealth and prosperity”
Yuliana was genuinely surprised. Five percent of the Bennett Group shares was no small amount. “You and Nina…”
Jonathan said, “I only feel guilty towards Nina, nothing else. So please be sure to make this clear to her. I don’t want her to have any false hope.
“Over the years, aside from our agreement, I have also used her identity to protect my wife. Tell her I’m sorry. After saying this, Jonathan left the hospital room.
Yuliana was truly shocked. Not only because Jonathan was willing to give Nina five percent of his shares, but also because of what he said at the end.
For years, he seemed to be protecting Nina publicly, but secretly he was just acting as a decoy for Whitney.
This explains why, for years, everyone in Betrico believed Jonathan would marry Nina. He publicly showed interest in her while secretly protecting his true love.
Yuliana was filled with anger. But then she reconsidered, realizing Jonathan was just going with the flow, and over the years, he had indeed protected Nina very well.
In the end, she sighed. Ultimately, they would still have to depend on him in the future.
Offering Nina a five percent share was already quite generous. Yuliana turned to look at Nina lying in bed.
She suddenly noticed Nina was staring at the ceiling, her expression numb, but tears kept sliding from the corners of her
eyes.
Yuliana panicked and quickly went over. She gently stroked Nina’s hair, “Nina, you’re awake, when did you wake up?” Nina didn’t speak; she just kept staring at the ceiling, letting the tears fall. Yuliana knew Nina must have heard their conversation earlier.
She was somewhat worried. Having just lost a leg. Yuliana wasn’t sure if Nina could bear such a blow,
“Nina, listen to what Mom has to say…
“Mom, so since I was twelve, he protected me like that just because you used the Sullivan family’s heirloom as a bargaining chip with him, right?”
“Yes… but…
“Not only did he take our Sullivan family’s heirloom, but he also used me as a cover for his secret relationship with Cynthia for a whole three years.”
Throughout these three years, she had no idea how many times Whitney had plotted against her. Thanks to Jonathan’s connections, she always emerged safely.
But each time, the fear and helplessness were imprinted clearly in Nina’s memory.
Yuliana knew what her daughter was thinking. “What he did was unfair, but he wa shares, which is worth half of the Sullivan family’s wealth.
you five percent of the Bennett Group
Nina’s tears flowed endlessly, blurring her vision. “So all these years, he never truly cared about me…”

Yuliana looked at her daughter, who seemed so heartbroken, and she didn’t know what to say. “Nina, it’s over now, let him
- go.
“Even if you have only one leg, with your wealth, you can still choose the best men in the world, and no one would dare to look down on you”
Nina was crying but then started laughing as her emotions began to escalate. Im going to make them all pay, Celine, Whitney, Cynthia, and Jonathan, all of you who treated me like this, I’m going to make you pay!”
Meanwhile, Cynthia received a call from Naomi at three in the afternoon.
“It’s my birthday tonight, don’t forget to come carly!” Naomi sau
Cynthia was wandering around the mall looking for a gift for Naomi. “I won’t forget, I won’t forget. This is the third time you’ve reminded me today.”
Naomi laughed. “I just worry about your poor memory. I’ll hang up now and remind the others.”
Naomi is someone who really loves the hustle and bustle. She’s only been in Roncrity for a month, and she’s already made friends with people from all walks of life.
Naomi’s Pledge hasn’t been open for long, but it’s already become the preferred spot for Roncrity’s wealthy and young party all night.
to
With a grand gesture, Naomi decided to invite everyone to celebrate her birthday at Azuregaze Mountain. Right now, she’s busy calling each person to give them the address. She finally got to Hector.
She seemed to have forgotten to invite Hector. But since Hector lives right next door, maybe she didn’t need to. She thought, “But what if he comes back really late tonight?
After hesitating for a moment, Naomi decided id call Hector anyway. When Hector received the call, he was with his parents, taking part in a family tradition, and they were on their way back.
He was driving when his phone screen lit up. He just took a quick glance and didn’t plan to respond. But because he saw the name “Kiddo” on the screen, Hector picked up the phone without hesitation.
Driving with one hand, he pushed the button to answer. Before he could say anything, a loud voice came through the phone, “Hey Hector, want to come over to my place tonight?”
Hearing the voice, Hector couldn’t help but smile, “I have some plans tonight, and we’ve got guests at home.”
Naomi replied with disappointment, “Alright then, it’s my birthday today. I’m having a birthday party at home and was hoping you’d come to make it lively.
“Plus, I wanted to introduce you to someone, some of the most renowned beauties in the city. Looks like you’re missing out, buddy. Alright, you go on with your busyness, I’m hanging up.”
With that said Naomi hung up the phone. Hector listened to the beeping silence from the other end, feeling a bit dazed.
A clear male voice came from behind him, “Who was that? Why is their voice so annoying?”
Hector glanced in the rearview mirror at the man in the backseat.
The man was dressed casually, with his legs crossed. He had a face identical to Hector’s but was meticulously groomed, with stylish hair that had a carefree handsome look.
He exuded a relaxed charm and a hint of noble indifference. He wore headphones and was busy playing a game on his phone

Hector said with a hint of sarcasm, “Oh superstar, you can listen to music, play games, and still hear my phone call?”
The man in the backseat smirked, revealing a charming smile, You’re my brother, of course, I care a little. Hector, are your seeing someone lately?”
Hector retorted, “Ethan, have you forgotten simple numbers after these years abroad? I’m the third, you’re the fourth- who’s the older brother, and who’s the younger one here?”
“Oh, come on. We’re twins. Just because the nurse pulled you out of the womb first, you’re the older brother? Maybe I was the first fertilized egg, a few days ahead of you
“I won’t argue with you As the older brother, I should let the younger one win”
Their bickering was so intense that even Keith, sitting in the passenger seat, couldn’t take it anymore. “Are you two ever going to grow up? You’ve been squabbling for twenty–five years and still haven’t had enough.”
Harvey took off his headphones and poked his head between the seats.
“Keith. I think Hector is dating someone, I saw him smiling at his phone several times last night, just like he did just now. It’s really odd. I should tell Mom and Dad Harvey said.
Hector let out a hum, “Go ahead and tell Mom and Dad. The person I’m dating is a guy”
Harvey was shocked, The person who just called you was a guy:
Hector nodded, “What did you think?”
“I thought the voice sounded kind of feminine. But then again, there aren’t many women with such a rough voice.” With that, he leaned back and continued playing his game, So boring
Hector chuckled, “Do you remember Naomi?”
When he said that, Harvey couldn’t help but put his hand on his butt, “You mean the one who always pulled at my pants when we were kids?”
