"It''s not their fault. It''s all mine. I got them involved," April choked out.


    "Don''t me yourself. No one wanted this oue," Vincent said, sitting down next to her on the bed. His face was grim, his eyes cold.


    "We really underestimated Bet. He was shot from behind, yet he managed to avoid a fatal wound. After waking up, he remembered everyone''s position and pinpointed your cousin with perfect uracy."


    "I told you before, a man like Bet is best kept as an ally. Making an enemy of him is asking for trouble."


    April sighed.


    "What could I do? It''s not like Ynda could hold his interest," Vincent said, patting her shoulder with a hint of impatience.


    Ynda''s poor health since childhood had consumed a great deal of his energy.


    If Ynda hadn''t needed a kidney transnt, Vincent never would have resorted to illegal means, starting him down this path of no return.


    When Ynda''s condition worsened so suddenly the second time, he couldn''t find a suitable donor. He had secretly kidnapped Flora Moore-the heiress of the Moore family and Bet''s cousin which was an enormous risk.


    At the time, both the Moore and Thompson families were investigating the matter, and Vincent had almost been exposed.


    Ynda had been nothing but trouble for him his entire life, yet she was utterly useless. She couldn''t secure Bet back then, and her rtionship with Eden now wasn''t much better.


    If Ynda weren''t his only daughter, Vincent would have given up on her long ago. But thankfully, April hade through for him and was about to give him a son.


    "Your cousin is so careful and resourceful, yet even he couldn''t get rid of Bet. It''ll be even harder for us to eliminate him in the future. Everyone knows Frank Thompson dotes on Bet. As long as Bet is around, Eden will never take over. Your n to have Ynda marry him was a waste."


    April said worriedly.


    "We''ll take it one step at a time. Don''t you worry about it; I''ll handle everything," Vincent reassured her, his gaze softening as it fell on her pregnant belly.


    "The most important thing for you right now is to give birth to our son safely." "I will,” April smiled, resting her head on his shoulder with a look of pure adoration.


    After leaving the wedding reception, Bet and Yvonne went to get some sushi.


    As Yvonne was taking a bite of her roll, Bet''s phone, which was on the table, buzzed.


    Bet picked it up, unlocked the screen, and stared intently at the video ying. "What are you watching so seriously?" Yvonne asked.


    "Some gossip. Want to see?" Bet smiled, holding the phone out to her.


    Yvonne leaned in to look at the screen.


    It was security footage from the hotel where Eden and Ynda had their wedding.


    In the hallway, Cynthia and Noah ran into each other.


    There


    hear no sound, so she couldn''t


    me


    hear what they were saying, but looked like a normal encounter just. old friends exchanging pleasantries.


    But as they were parting ways, Cynthia suddenly stumbled, and Noah instinctively caught her. Then,


    Karina rushed into the frame and


    the three of them began to argue.


    From the looks of it, Karina clearly didn''te out on top. They all left on bad terms.


    "How did you get the hotel''s security footage?" Yvonne asked after watching.


    "It''s a Thompson family hotel, and it


    was Eden and Ynda''s wedding


    Of course, I had people monitoring was just acunexpected


    things. This


    bonus."
