The doctor scowled and said, Under normal circumstances, it’s true that it’s not easy for a woman your age to get pregnant. But if you have frequent sexual intercourse over a long period, the chance of conception isn’t that low. Women of advanced maternal age like you are quite common in the obstetrics department of our hospital—we’ve even had patients in their fifties who got pregnant and delivered naturally.Nora couldn’t bear to let the medical worker go on. She flew into a rage and shouted, Shut up, you quack! If you say another word, I’ll call the police and have you arrested! I’ll say it again—I’m not pregnant, and there’s no way I could be!The doctor was livid. He pulled out the report and said each word slowly and distinctly, Do you think your words can override our test results? The report clearly states—you, Nora—are pregnant! I was only kind enough to remind you that you can’t take a high dosage of medication for your own good. How could you repay kindness with ingratitude

At this point, the assistant paused for a breath, then went on, After the whole family was rushed to the hospital, the doctors ran blood tests on them. Unexpectedly, they found out that Nora was pregnant. Judging by her gestational age, she must have conceived the baby while she was trapped in the illegal coal mine. Jared and Old Mrs. Mill thought Nora had disgraced the family’s dignity, so they got into a violent fight with her...Sanderson was utterly dumbfounded.His two younger brothers, along with the younger family members at the meeting, could not hold back their laughter when they heard this.Just a moment ago, Sanderson had said he wondered what absurd things these lowlifes would stir up. Never in his wildest dreams did he expect them to pull off something this ridiculous so soon. How ironic it all was...Sanderson’s expression at that moment was uglier than if he had swallowed a mouthful of filth.He had ordered this bunch to go annoy Alan, but it seemed these bastards were

Daffodils? Mia asked in shock. Where did the daffodils come from? How could they have eaten them?Alan smiled and said, That patch of plants I grew by the foot of the wall, the ones that look exactly like chives—they’re actually daffodils.Oh my god! Mia blurted out. I thought those were chives!They look like chives, Alan smiled, but they are not chives.I remember reading in my biology textbook that daffodils are poisonous, right? Mia said.Alan nodded and smiled. My smart wife knows her stuff. Daffodils are indeed toxic. They contain lycorine, and eating a large amount will cause poisoning.Ivy’s eyes widened, and she gasped in astonishment. Alan! Did you do this on purpose? No wonder you asked me what vegetables that old lady likes to eat. When I told you she loves chives, you planted all these daffodils—you set them up on purpose!Alan looked solemn and said, Mom, you can’t say that. I never intended to trick anyone. I merely planted daffodils in our yard. As for who stole them a

The Hand family’s reputation had already been completely ruined by their own actions, yet they had actually invested in the Mill family.Enoch went to find his elder brother Sanderson and said, Brother, this family you’ve joined forces with is utterly vile. They’ve brought total disgrace to the Hand family. If it were up to me, we should cast them out, and announce as soon as possible that we have no connection with them whatsoever.Sanderson shook his head gently and said, It would be meaningless. What's done is done. Even if the Hand family announced an immediate withdrawal of investment right now, nothing would improve. After all, people are only laughing at the Mill family, a bunch of contemptible clowns, but our great Hand family is the one truly being ridiculed by the whole nation.With that, Sanderson sighed and added, You know how the incident with the Beggar Gang has devastated our Hand family. By comparison, these petty scandals of the Mill family are not even a mosquito bit

The men who had arrested them were the underlings of Moggs, and their leader in the Changbai Mountain region—Damon.Damon’s face was dark with fury as he stared at the petrified father and son, his voice cold and sharp. Did you really think you could escape?Webster whimpered, Brother Damon, we never meant to run away! These men dragged us away with no explanation at all!Damon roared coldly, Cut the crap with me! I know exactly what you were thinking. Let me tell you this—so long as I Damon draw breath, neither you nor your son will ever set foot out of Changbai Mountain!Webster nodded frantically, his tone servile. Brother Damon, we truly have no desire to leave Changbai Mountain. Over these days, my son and I have grown deeply attached to this place. I’ve even decided to spend my remaining years here in retirement.Baldwin quickly nodded in agreement beside him. That’s right, Brother Damon. Father is right. Both of us have fallen in love with this land.Damon lunged forward withou
