Fortunate to Have You This Lifetime

Jade Carlson’s complexion drastically changed; her composure completely shattered as she immediately gripped her purse tightly!

Amidst their tugging, everything in the bag spilled onto the ground, with a palm-sized, exquisitely designed bottle of liquor particularly eye-catching.

Yolanda was quick to pick up the bottle and, after a glance, scoffed, “Jade Carlson, what are you doing with realgar wine? Who doesn’t know that snakes are most afraid of realgar? Could it be that you had a premonition and knew beforehand that a boa constrictor would snatch Mrs. Farrell’s child?”

Yolanda’s words were like cold arrows, nailing Jade Carlson to the spot, immobilizing her!

Mrs. Farrell’s breathing turned ragged; she couldn’t take it anymore, her fury blazing intensely, almost consuming all her rationality! She lunged at Jade Carlson, pinning her to the ground without any grace, and viciously choked her—

“You harmed my daughter!!!” Mrs. Farrell screamed madly.

“Ah!” Jade Carlson’s hair was yanked, causing her to cry out in pain.

Nathaniel Summers intervened, forcibly separating the two women, “Mrs. Farrell! Please calm down. Right now, the priority is to save your child!”

Jade Carlson, having been slapped, fell to the ground in a sorry state, with one side of her face severely swollen, even her gums throbbing with pain.

She cried, “Madam, you can’t believe their words! I brought the realgar wine just in case. I knew the Summers Family kept a boa constrictor, and for the banquet, I prepared realgar wine in advance solely for the baby’s safety! Madam, think about it, why would I harm your child? I have absolutely no motive for such an act! There’s no reason for me to do it!”

“Isn’t it easy to find a reason?” Jane McCain couldn’t hold back any more, “Maybe it’s jealousy, maybe you wanted revenge on Purple Summers, your heart is so filthy, who knows what you are thinking?! That necklace around your neck is a limited edition released by Lanvi Fashion this year, the governor’s secretary bought one, and if he bought that necklace, why is it on your neck? What is your relationship with the governor’s secretary?! I think you’ve been up to no good around Mrs. Farrell!”

A series of accusations caused another huge wave among the crowd.

Jade Carlson was stupefied by this wave, her face completely drained of color!

Her seamless deceit, under the successive revelations by Purple Summers, Yolanda Summers, and Jane McCain, was riddled with holes!

It even exposed her affair with the governor’s secretary!

Mrs. Farrell no longer wanted to hear any arguments; she clung tightly to Nathaniel Summers’ arm, her tears nearly dried up, “Save my child, you must find a way to save her, save her!…”

Save the child!

To pursue responsibility can be done later; what is urgent now is the child!

“The rescue team will arrive any minute!” Dylan Summers shouted, raising his phone, “The rescue team will send a helicopter right away!”

Dylan Summers, always considering appearances, finally acted wisely, calling for help in time.

Everyone breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Once the rescue team arrived, there’d be hope for the child.

But just as the crowd was beginning to settle, someone suddenly exclaimed, “Ah! The ice is cracking!”

All eyes turned—

The lake’s ice was a vast expanse of whiteness, even minor cracks were hard to discern, but the ice floe carrying the baby was starting to tilt ever so slightly…

The ice was about to break!

But when would the rescue team arrive? Could the ice floe hold out until then?!

Mrs. Farrell ignored everything else and rushed toward the man-made lake, her high heels trampling the brittle ice and snow. She hadn’t run far when the sound of the ice cracking beneath her feet echoed.

“Danger!” Nathaniel Summers was quick to act, pulling her back with a swift grab!

Among the crowd, Purple Summers quietly moved her feet, whispering something into Zara Jameson’s ear.
