She worked desperately hard because Julia was pregnant again. Claiming to relieve Julia of so stress, she not only worked at Hua Yi but also helped Julia manage other businesses.
Julia knew that she used the heavy workload to numb herself from the entanglent with Noah Reyes.
Over the past six months, Noah Reyes had made countless phone calls, but she hadn’t answered a single one.
Each ti, it was Jimmy Horne who answered.
Every ti he picked up the phone, he would endlessly chatter with Noah Reyes.
Each ti Noah Reyes made a call, he would find a hidden spot and use a public phone, just to prevent his opponents from tracing the call to Adele Horne.
After returning to the Fla Gate, he imdiately arranged for the rescue of his mother.
Although his uncles and brothers were ruthless and had gathered considerable power, they ultimately were no match for the Fla Gate. After Noah Reyes devised a plan and rescued his mother, he began to eradicate the problem at its roots.
He didn’t want to be so cold-blooded and ruthless. However, in his position and environnt, if he wasn’t ruthless, then tomorrow would be his death.
After half a year, he had quelled the palace coup, and all the relatives with blood ties who opposed him had gone to the underworld. Through this ordeal, the Reyes Family, which had been spoiled by power, suffered significant losses in numbers. Noah’s grandfather beca ill from anger over the incident. He begged Noah to spare his remaining children and repeatedly cautioned those who hadn’t been involved to refrain from any more foolish thoughts. The rules of the Fla Gate, established for so long, were ironclad and difficult to change.
Noah’s father remained silent throughout, understanding that all this was the result of his children’s own doing. Even if he were still in the position of the leader, if soone tried to snatch his chair, he wouldn’t be indifferent either. Although those were his children too, he didn’t bla Noah. He let the mistresses weep to him without uttering a word of censure against Noah, nor did he plead for his other children.
Looking at the whole incident from the perspective of the Fla Gate, it wasn’t Noah’s fault.
Noah had never intended to eliminate all his uncles and brothers. It was their own oversized ambitions and greed, their desire to seize everything that didn’t belong to them, that led to their downfall.
After the incident, the mbers of the Reyes Family who hadn’t participated in the rebellion beca quiet. No one dared to covet the leader’s position anymore, and no one dared to break the family rules. As for Noah, they beca extrely respectful, even fearful, turning pale at the ntion of his na. Even the small factions and gangs from outside who heard Noah’s great na trembled in fear. The internal war elevated the Fla Gate’s reputation to its highest point. Its dominant position in the Asia-Pacific region beca unshakeable.
During these six months, Adele Horne once went to the Naless Manor, where she was captured by lurking assassins. Fortunately, Glades Horne was well-prepared. After a close call, the assassins were all caught.
Her near-death experience at the hands of the assassins made Adele realize the gravity of the issues Noah Reyes faced. These issues were serious enough to threaten her own life. She also understood that if she ever forgave Noah Reyes, accepted him, then her life would undergo earth-shattering changes.
Thus, she beca even more silent.
No one knew what she really thought in her heart or what attitude she held towards Noah; not even Julia could get an answer.
Jimmy Horne, Ivan Horne, and Camila Ruiz, at four and a half years old, skipped to first grade. They transferred to an elite Literary and Martial Arts School, which was different from Florence Ford’s school.
The adults thought of having the kids advance normally through school, but the little ones didn’t want to because they found it too boring.
With no other choice, after discussing with Julia, Glades allowed them to skip ahead.
Camila Ruiz was not as intelligent as her two brothers. To ensure they could all attend the sa class, she only skipped to the first grade of elentary school, aligning with her level of knowledge.
Camila Ruiz also returned to the Ruiz Family in A City with her mother, Rachel Bailey, escorted by her father. She truly beca the precious young lady of the Ruiz Family. She was polite, had an adorable appearance, and especially when she smiled, her two cute dimples would show. She was eloquent and very likable to her family mbers. They treated her as the apple of their eye, instantly making her one of the most prestigious and valuable young ladies in A City.
Mrs. Ruiz was very eager for Camila to return to A City to live so she could personally groom her into a lady of high society. However, Hansen Ruiz and Rachel Bailey did not agree. Camila was their only child, and they placed all their focus on her. They were unable to bear the thought of their daughter leaving their side.
In the eyes of her family, Camila Ruiz was a smart and sensible little lady, but whenever she t Jimmy Horne, she would still lose her ladylike image.
The little beauty Florence Ford, after sumr vacation ended, was sent to the Literary and Martial Arts School her father had enrolled her in. As it was a boarding school, she didn’t have the chance to visit Jimmy Horne over the past half-year.
Julia was six months pregnant again.
Seeing her pregnant once more, Mrs. Ruiz couldn’t help but persuade Hansen Ruiz and Rachel Bailey to have another child.
Rachel Bailey was willing to have a second child, but Hansen Ruiz was afraid.
When Rachel Bailey gave birth to Camila, she had almost died from postpartum hemorrhage, which left a deep impression on Hansen Ruiz. He would rather have only one daughter than risk having a second child.
Desperate for a grandchild, Mrs. Ruiz had no choice but to constantly work on convincing Hansen Ruiz.
When she couldn’t change Hansen Ruiz’s mind, she tried to influence Rachel Bailey. But though Rachel agreed to have another child, without Hansen’s consent, she couldn’t conceive on her own.
Mrs. Ruiz was angry, anxious, and helpless.
Eventually, Rachel Bailey saw her friend happily beco a mother again and felt that Camila was lonely. So, she secretly poked holes in condoms and successfully beca pregnant.
When Hansen Ruiz found out she was pregnant again, he beca instantly nervous. He followed her around all day, fearing sothing might happen to her. He was even sulky for a few days because she had kept her pregnancy from him.
Mrs. Ruiz was ecstatic upon learning Rachel Bailey was pregnant again. She once again moved to T City, claiming she wanted to take care of Rachel.
In fact, Rachel Bailey was only two months into her pregnancy, and everything was normal; her health was in excellent condition.
Apart from the joyous news concerning these two prestigious young mistresses, Jas Horne and Rebecca Hughes also entered the Wedding Chapel on their selected date. They completed a significant milestone in their lives.
While they were away on their honeymoon, news of Phoebe Rogers’ death reached them from the prison; she died of stomach cancer.
Before her death, Phoebe Rogers left several letters. One was for her son, Jas Horne. Another was for the man she had loved all her life—for whom she had sacrificed much of her youth and even ended up in prison. A final letter was for her love rival, Mila Anderson.
Before she passed away, she made the prison guard promise to keep her death a secret from the Horne Family during her son’s honeymoon. She didn’t want to cast a shadow over it.
Death takes everything with it. All grievances and affections dissipate like smoke in the wind.
