Sylvia didn't know that Franklin had learned about her virus, so she hadno idea that he was trying to detoxicate her.

Afraid the virus would take effect, Franklin decided to detoxicate herregularly, even if she struggled or disgusted him.

Logan had told him the regular patterns of her virus.

In the past four years, the virus had attacked her irregularly. After theydivorced, the virus took effect more often.

It implied that Sylvia's body needed him.

Franklin wished she could recover, but privately, he felt delighted afterrealizing Sylvia couldn't leave him.

Moreover, he even felt lucky that Sylvia had married him instead ofanother man in the past.

Thinking some other men also had the RH negative blood type,Franklin would easily blow up.

He decided to kill any man who wanted to steal Sylvia from him. Noman could take her away.

After Tammy was kicked out of the hospital, she rushed back home.Once she entered the living room, she saw Skyla standing before thefish tank to feed the fishes. Tammy burst into tears immediately."Mom!"

"What's wrong?" Her whine shocked Skyla, who dropped all the fishfood into the tank.

The fishes had a feast.

Skyla pulled Tammy to sit on the sofa. "What happened, Tammy? Aren'tyou supposed to be at work? Why did you come back so suddenly?""Mom! Sylvia, that bitch, set me up!" Tammy cursed in jealousy andhatred.

Then she told Skyla what had happened in the hospital in detail.

Her words made Skyla tremble in anger. Her well-cared face was sotwisted that she looked like another ugly woman. "Damn it! How darethat bitch do those things to you! Who does she think she is?"

"What should I do, Mom?" Tammy shed tears, sniffing.

She suddenly lost the job she had tried hard to obtain, wondering whatto do.

"After your dad come home, let's tell him. We shall make a long-termplan. You can go to work in your dad's company. It'll belong to yousooner or later, anyway," Skyla consoled her, patting her hands.Suddenly, their doorbell rang.

A maid scooted to open the door.

Surprisingly, several policemen in uniforms entered.

"Does Otto Andrews stay here?"

Skyla was startled and she had a bad hunch.

“Yes. This is Andrews Residence. What can I do for you, Officer?"

The policeman in the lead pulled out a piece of paper and showed it toSkyla. “This is a warrant of arrest. We've been to Andrews Constructionbut failed to replace Otto Andrews. Is he home?"

Blood drained from Skyla's face. Her lips trembled. "Arrest? Why doyou want to arrest him? What has he done?"

"We received an anonymous report and investigated to confirm OttoAndrews had evaded the tax payment. We also have solid evidence.Now, we'll arrest him," the police replied professionally. "Please contacthim immediately. Or, we'll issue an online warrant of arrest and list himas wanted throughout the country.”

Skyla's legs went weak. She staggered, almost fainting.

Fortunately, Tammy helped her to keep her balance. "Mom... Mom, bestrong.”

"I-I don't know where to replace him. He went to work in the morning andstill didn't return home," Skyla sobbed and yelled.

She wondered what she and Tammy should do after Otto went to jail.She wouldn't be able to lead a wealthy life. Besides, Tammy had alsolost her job.

Skyla felt her world had collapsed.

Suddenly, there were some noises from the door.

The next second, Otto rushed in with sweat all over his forehead. Heroared, "Skyla, pack my suitcase. Hurry! I need to go..."

He suddenly broke off when seeing the policemen standing in the livingroom. He couldn't finish his words as he hadn't expected the policemento react so quickly and wait for him in his house.

Otto paled. He escaped from the company after his assistant told himthe policemen were looking for him.

Otto had planned to take a suitcase and run away. However, thepolicemen had been waiting for him already.

He gaped in disbelief, watching a policeman walk to him and puthandcuffs on his wrist.

The coldness from them brought him back to his senses. "I'm wronged,Officer. I didn't evade the tax."

“You can reserve your rights and talk to the judge in court.” Thepoliceman in the lead looked at him coldly and ordered, "Take himaway!"

Skyla rushed to hug Otto. "Please don't take my husband away. Hehasn't done anything wrong. If you want to take him away, I'll killmyself.”

Otto didn't expect her to defend him. Feeling touched, he said, "Honey,let go. Take good care of yourself and Tammy. Wait for me."

"We cannot live without you, Honey. What should Tammy and I do afteryou're gone?" Skyla wailed. She was worried about the income.Usually, she liked playing bridge with her friends. In the future, shewould lack money. Her husband's company had been closed down.Skyla didn't think she would have the courage to keep in touch withthem.

Tammy also dragged Otto's arm. "Dad! I was fired by the hospitalearlier.”

"What?" Otto appalled. "How could they do that?"

“It's a long story, Dad. You cannot leave us alone. We really cannot livewithout you.” Tammy started sobbing.

Otto looked at Skyla, feeling sorry and worried. However, in silence, hewas taken away by the policemen.

Skyla followed them, watching the police car roar away. She wasfuming.

"What's wrong, Mom?" Tammy asked curiously after seeing herexpression change.

Her mother was worried about her father, shedding tears.

However, Skyla suddenly changed her expression.

“Your father still hasn't fully trusted me,” Skyla remarked, her facetwisted. "Humph! He has a safe inside which is his own savings. Ithought he would tell me the password, but he left without sayinganything. Son of bitch!"

It seemed she couldn't rely on Otto anymore, so she started to plan forher future.

Andrews Construction was closed down due to evading the tax.

After its property was confiscated, it still couldn't pay its owed tax.There was a considerable gap. Andrews Construction had sufferedfrom losses every year. Although Clark invested in the company, it onlyresolved some urgent problems.

Now, it had been closed down.

The news riled up Clark, who smashed all the files to the floor.

"Otto Andrews, you just cannot do anything right!"

"Mr. Wilson, Sylvia has agreed to do the operation. Isn't it good news?"Winter squatted down to pick up the files carefully and put them beforeClark.

He gazed at the files without a blink, boiling over with anger. After awhile, he said, "You can leave."

"All right.” Winter instantly pushed the door open and walked out.However, she felt sickened and her stomach turning.

She feared, thinking about the causes. Blood drained from her face,and her heart kept sinking.

Winter didn't dare stay there. She rushed into the ladies’ room andretched.

After a long time, the sickness stopped, and she left the ladies’ roomwhile patting her chest.

She was 36, not a teenager, so she knew what it meant.

Clark didn't like to use any birth control measurements, and she tookmorning-after pills.

Winter had never planned to be a mother in her life. After all, herhusband was disabled and impotent.

If she was pregnant, her baby would be an illegitimate child. After all,she was Clark's aunt.

She was unwilling to let her child live in disgrace.

Winter could hardly imagine it, returning to her office absentmindedly."Mrs. Wilson? Excuse me, Mrs. Wilson?"

After Rosie called her several times, Winter finally returned to hersenses. "Yes? What's up?”

“This is the donation list for this quarter.” Rosie presented a copy of theWilson Philanthropic Foundation's report to her. Looking at her, worried,Rosie asked, "Are you all right, Mrs. Wilson? You look pale."

“I'm fine, Rosie. I'm just too exhausted.” Winter forced a smile andstarted to read the report.
