He never understood some of her actions, just as she never understood why he couldn't let go of someone who had been gone for so many years.

"Have you grown bold and defiant, that you no longer respect me?"

Danna's expression was one of hurt, tears nearly spilling over.

Absolon was truly helpless.

At this moment, the police arrived.

"Officer, sir, this old lady came here to insult my mom. My mom hasn't fully recovered from her injuries, and I have a heart condition. I was nearly scared into an episode. This old lady is no good.Please take her away!" Lillie spoke quickly, afraid the old lady would flee.

Absolon looked at Joselyn with a pained expression, pleading silently.

He felt utterly defeated. His daughter refused to acknowledge him, and now his wife wanted to have his mother arrested.

Joselyn spoke calmly, "Mr. Absolon, I can show some mercy, but first, you must promise that neither your mother nor you will ever appear before me again."

Absolon's face turned ashen.

The next day, the Harris family's company celebration was a grand affair as usual.

Lilah invited Miranda, Briseis, Effie, and Hadley, along with the two elder pranksters, Cyrus and Kyler, to join the event.

Lillie also wanted to come, and there was no reason to refuse because Lillie could bring Joselyn along.

Both she and Miranda were eager to spend more time with their biological mother.

Lillie was dressed beautifully today in a silver gown, looking like a fairy-tale princess. Joselyn wore a cyan cheongsam, a traditional Chinese dress, her hair elegantly pinned up, giving her a gentle and captivating appearance.

"Wow, who is that lady? She's so beautiful, like a movie star,"

Hadley exclaimed, eyes wide as she watched Joselyn approach from afar.

Lilah smiled without responding.

Hadley continued, "The children of this lady must have a special charm, just like you, Lilah. Why do I feel like you resemble her a bit?"

Lilah was slightly taken aback by this comment.

"Alright, alright, can you give your mouth a rest for a bit?

You still have to dance the opening number later," she said helplessly.

Hadley immediately beamed and hugged Lilah's arm affectionately, saying, "Lilah, you're like a sister to me. I love you to bits!

Ever since I met you, my life has been on a winning streak. You wouldn't believe it, but once I was asked to dance at a company's opening ceremony, and someone touched my leg and mocked me publicly. It was awful. But now I'm so happy and I love you all...
