Davon withdrew his arms lamely. Although he seemed very nonplussed on the surface, as though he couldn't care less about the kids' behavior, he felt very disappointed indeed.

Turning to the principal, he said, "I'll entrust the kids to you then."

"Of course, of course! I'll take very good care of them. Don't worry, Mr. Roman!" The principal and the other higher-ups exclaimed at once, nodding vigorously.

Davon took one last look at the kids before leaving.

As he walked away, Jason stared after him. He opened his mouth to say goodbye, but seeing as Ryan wasn't saying anything, he decided to keep quiet too.

"Goodbye, Uncle Davon!" In the end, it was Eliana who opened her mouth first. She sounded a little cautious despite her adorable voice—nonetheless, she still managed to melt Davon's heart.

He turned around to look at her, his lips curving into a smile. "Goodbye!"

"Goodbye, Uncle Davon." Jason finally summoned up the courage to wave to him.

Davon returned his wave. He then turned to look at Ryan, who had remained silent up till then.

Ryan seemed a little aloof. He looked down at the ground instead of Davon, but waved politely anyway.Feeling slightly better, Davon turned to leave at last.

At the very least, he could confirm that the children did not detest him. That meant that he had succeeded in his first step!

"Mr. Roman, I'll send you off," the principal said.

"Alright, children, we'll continue distributing the presents," the teachers called, gesturing at the students to settle down. "These are from Ryan, Jason, and Eliana. What should you say to them?"

The students look at each other, rather confused. Finally, one of them raised his hand and said, "Thank you to Ryan, Jason, and Eliana's daddy for these presents."

Davon stopped dead in his tracks. He turned around to look at the children, only to find that they were all looking at him too.

Eliana twiddled her fat little thumbs awkwardly, bowing her head to look at the floor.

Ryan opened and shut his mouth as though he wanted to say something, but chose to remain silent in the end.

However, Jason returned their smile gamely and chirped, "No problem! Hope all of you like them."

"Thank you!" The students let out another whoop of happiness before returning to their presents excitedly.

Davon smirked, feeling a sudden wave of relief wash over him. Children were rather simple creatures. If you were kind to them, they would be nice to you as well.

Meanwhile on the other side Violla was resting at home when she heard a sudden commotion of cars outside the house.

She flipped out of bed and walked over to the floor-length windows, where she saw a convoy right outside the gates. Under the watchful eyes of the bodyguards, a group of workers were delivering a bunch of items into the house.

Violla squinted and realized that most of the items were medical supplies.She felt a little confused, but she didn't ask any questions.

"Move quietly!" the head maid hissed urgently. "Miss Milan is resting upstairs."

The workers nodded immediately, afraid that they might wake Violla up if they moved too loudly.Then, there was a knock on Violla's bedroom door.

"Come in!" she called.

A maid pushed open the door and stepped into the room with a new phone in hand. "Miss Milan, this is the new phone that Mr. Roman has bought for you. The SD card has already been replaced, and your phone number is the same as before."

"Thank you." Violla took the phone from her. After the maid left, she closed the door and turned on the phone immediately.

That was her third phone in the span of two months. Something always seemed to happened to her phone—it either fell onto the ground and shattered into pieces, or went missing all of a sudden.

However, Davon always replaced her phone quietly after those incidents.

It had been a few days since she last contacted Mrs. Blake and Olympia. They were probably worried sick . As soon as she managed to turn on the phone, Violla gave Mrs. Blake a call. For some reason, however, nobody picked up.

She called Olympia instead. Thankfully, Olympia picked up the call immediately. " Violla!"

"Olympia, are you alright?" Violla asked, feeling rather guilty. "The last time you came to my house, something happened to you. When I sent you to the hospital, something bad happened again."

"Please, I'm the one who should be worried, alright?" Olympia exclaimed. "The property management office said you had gone missing. I nearly called the police!"

"Don't worry, I'm fine," Violla said comfortingly. "And what about you?"

"I'm fine. I was just startled to death the other day, but I woke up from my shock soon enough. As for you…oh, by the way, your boyfriend's subordinate,Cruze, was it? Came to look for me."

"What? Why was he looking for you?" Violla asked, feeling a little startled.

"To thank me for taking care of you, apparently. He even offered me a position as your assistant, and asked if I wanted to take it." Olympia asked curiously, " Violla, are you the CEO of your own company now, or some movie starlet? Why do you need an assistant all of a sudden?"

"Huh?" Violla felt rather suspicious. "Are you very sure it was Cruze?"

"Yes, it was, I swear," Olympia said certainly. "Back at Empire Night, he accompanied your boyfriend everywhere he went. He is the weirdest and fiercest man I've ever seen,I won't forget that face."

"Oh, alright then," Violla said, feeling rather helpless. "I didn't even know about it! I'll ask Cruze about it when I see him."

"Yes, you should," Olympia said seriously. "If you really need me, Violla, I'll drop everything and get to you immediately."

"Thank you, Olympia," Violla said gratefully. "Please take good care of yourself. Call me if you need anything."

"Alright. Also, I've already returned the uniform to Miss Faith. However, she says that you can come back anytime if you need the job again."

"Didn't she put me on a ban because she was afraid that I would drag the company down?" Violla asked stiffly.

"Don't ask me, I have no idea why she changed her mind. The news got suppressed really quickly. Now, you can hardly find a trace of it on the internet. Miss Faith says that it means you won't be suffering any damage to your reputation anymore. Besides, you were always one of the best pianists, so she would like to have you back anytime."

"Got it. I've been feeling very unwell lately, so I've been in bed all day. I'll contact her again when I'm a little better." Violla was pleased.

"Take good care of your health then, Violla. I'll call you again."

"Alright." After she hung up, Violla quickly went to look at that day's news. Olympia was right,the news about Leila had completely disappeared off the internet, as though the incident had never happened at all. In addition, all the news about Franklin and Barbra had vanished, too.

Violla frowned slightly. The Blacks must have paid the media outlets a hefty sum to cover up the news.

However, Amira would stop at nothing to take revenge for her daughter. Even if the Blacks paid off the media outlets, Amira could put up a post on social media under her own account. However, there was no mention of any of those people or incidents.

'What is going on? Have the Smiths met their downfall?'

Violla felt a little unsettled. Although Amira and Leila had done so many things to harm her, they had already met their punishment. Violla couldn't help but feel sorry for what they were going through then.

There, Violla's phone started beeping with a string of text notifications. She had called Mrs. Blake and Olympia the moment she turned on her phone, so she hadn't managed to check her phone for texts yet. Now, all the texts were coming in at one shot.

She quickly went to take a look at the texts. During the time she had been away, she had received texts from Mrs. Blake, Olympia, and Faith .To her shock, Amira and Smith had texted her repeatedly to ask for help too.

One text from the Smiths read: Violla, we're your blood relatives. Can't you save us this once?

Another text: We didn't think Franklin would be so cruel. He wants to have all of us killed! Violla, please save us.

Yet another text read: Barbra is a witch! She wants to kill Leila to eliminate all the witnesses. Violla, please save Leila.

Another text read. Please help your Uncle Smith out.

Seeing those messages, Violla felt a tug in her heartstrings. She didn't want to involve herself in that matter,back then, she had only called the police out of common decency.

However, now that a person's life hung in the balance, it would be too cruel of her to ignore their pleas for help.

After hesitating for a while, Violla gave a call to Amira. However, she was unable to reach her.She tried calling Smith's number instead, but the call didn't go through either.

Violla felt a sudden feeling of dread. Had something horrible really happened to the three of them? What could she do to help them now?

If she wanted to help them, she needed Davon's help.But she still faced a glaring dilemma—should she save them or not. That was a problem.

Just as she was thinking, she heard a familiar voice from outside. "Where am I? Why did you bring me here?"

"Don't be scared, Mrs. Blake. This will be your home from today onwards," Immaculate said with a smile.

"My home? This villa is as big as a small castle. How could this be my home?" Mrs. Blake sounded more panicked . "Dr. Immaculate, have you made a mistake? Please send me back to the hospital at once."

Hearing that, Violla put down her phone and ran out to greet Mrs. Blake immediately.

As she expected, Mrs. Blake was standing in the first-floor lobby, looking suspiciously around and looking like a lost sheep.

Immaculate stood beside her, trying her best to assure the older woman. "Don't worry, Mrs. Blake. Miss Milan is here too. I'll take you to see her."

"Miss?" Mrs. Blake asked, aghast.

"Mrs. Blake!" Violla flew down the stairs to greet her.

"Miss!" When she spotted Violla, Mrs. Blake ran over to her immediately. "There you are at last! Do you know how worried I've been for the past few days? Where have you been? The kids and I haven't managed to reach you by phone at all. I thought you got into an accident."

Mrs. Blake choked up with tears. She had been having such a hard time in the hospital because she kept worrying for Violla and the kids. If Immaculate hadn't been around to stop her, Mrs. Blake would have left the hospital to search for them.

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Blake." Violla looked very guilty. "Something happened to me a few days ago, and I lost contact with the outside world. I just returned here yesterday."

"What happened to you? Were you injured?" Mrs. Blake pulled Violla closer to her and inspected her up and down.

"Just a few minor injuries. It's nothing serious." Violla was deathly afraid that Mrs. Blake might notice the injury on her back. Pulling her to the sofa hastily, Violla said, "Don't worry about me now. Everything has been resolved."

"That's good, then." Mrs. Blake let out a sigh of belief. She shot a dark look at her surroundings and whispered to Violla, "Miss, let's go home. The kids are going to get off from school very soon. If no one picks them up at Uplands Estate, they're going to be frightened."

"Don't worry, someone will be there to pick them up," Violla said. She turned to Immaculate and asked, "Dr. Immaculate, what's going on? Isn't Mrs. Blake supposed to be in the hospital? Why did you bring her here instead?"

"These are Mr. Roman's orders," Immaculate said with a smile. "He was worried that you might be bored alone at home, so he got me to bring Mrs. Blake along."

"Ugh, what does he think he's doing?" Violla wrinkled her nose with distaste. "Mrs. Blake needs to undergo treatment for her condition. How could he take her out of the hospital just to keep me company?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Roman has already made arrangements." Immaculate pointed outside and said with a smile, "There's a small hut in the courtyard that has been empty for years. Mr. Roman ordered me to renovate it and turn it into a clinic."

"I've already transported all the medical equipment here . In the future, you, Mrs. Blake, and the young bosses can receive medical treatment in the comfort of your home instead of running back and forth from the hospital."

"Oh my goodness!" Violla felt rather stunned.

'No wonder the workers have been delivering medical supplies into the house Immaculate was going to set up a clinic right here.'

Davon had done so many things for her without even telling her.

"Oh, I'm so confused." Mrs. Blake's head was spinning slightly. She gazed at Violla, perplexed. "Miss, you and that guy from the Roman family…what's the relationship between the both of you?"

"It'll take me a while to explain that to you," Violla said, patting Mrs. Blake's hand. "Come upstairs to my room. I'll tell you everything there slowly."

"Okay!" Mrs. Blake nodded.

At that moment, the head maid walked into the room. "Miss Violla I've heated up the chicken broth for you. Should I send it upstairs for Mrs. Blake and yourself?"

"Yes, thank you," Violla nodded appreciatively at her. "Dr. Immaculate, thanks for your help. Please don't let us trouble you any further."

"Alright." Immaculate smiled at her before leaving the room.

Violla pulled Mrs. Blake into her room. When Mrs. Blake saw how the room was decorated, she frowned immediately. "This room belongs to a man, doesn't it? Is he that Roman guy? Miss, have you gotten together with him?"

"Yes," Violla said, nodding her head. Truthfully, she continued, "Sorry, Mrs. Blake. I should've told you earlier."

Mrs. Blake sighed deeply. "Everyone makes their own choices in life, especially when it comes to romantic relationships. If you like him, you should be with him. I can have no opinion on that. I hope he'll be good to you and the kids. However…"

Mrs Blake paused, looking rather uncertain.

"Mrs. Blake, what are you trying to say?" Violla asked.

"Miss, I'm just worried that an important family like the Roman family might not be able to accept your children," Mrs. Blake said, frowning. "Doesn't your boyfriend worry about that?"

"Of course not…" Violla said, completely sure of herself, "because the children are his."

"What?" Mrs. Blake looked at her, stunned silly. "Are you kidding me? You are, aren't you? Isn't the father of the triplets that,that escort from Empire Night."

"Yes, that's him," Violla couldn't believe those words were coming out of her mouth, but she told Mrs. Blake the truth anyway. "Four years ago, I got set up by Leila, but things turned out like this…"

After she finished telling the whole story to Mrs. Blake, Violla continued, "Actually, I knew who he was from the start. But I thought he was irresponsible and unfit to be a father. In addition, I was scared of the Roman family's power.what if they took my children and drove me away? That's why I never told him that he was the father of the triplets."

"However, when I got into the incident, he conducted a DNA test using Ryan tissues. When he found out the truth, he did so many things for the children. I felt very touched."

"I see," Mrs. Blake replied, sighing in disappointment. "No wonder our family keeps having all sorts of dealings with the Roman family. For a period of time, I wondered if they were flies that wouldn't go away! So the Roman guy had arranged for all of this to happen."

"Truth be told, I had lots of worries in the past," Violla said, smiling bitterly. "I even wanted to uproot the family from this City after you and Jason recovered. We could've found a new place to leave. However, so many things happened…perhaps this is meant to be."

"Well, since both of you have already settled this matter, don't think too much about it anymore," Mrs. Blake said reassuringly. "The children didn't like him much before, right? What about now?"

"They've been getting along splendidly. There's been a huge improvement, I believe." Violla felt extremely happy whenever she thought about that. "I didn't think he would be so patient with the kids. He put in a lot of effort to get close to them, you know."

"That's good, then," Mrs. Blake nodded approvingly. "Look how he set up a clinic for us at home. He even brought me here from the hospital! I can tell he's very caring towards you and the kids."

"I overheard the medical staff talking about the clinic on my way here. Apparently, the medical equipment itself already costs more than one hundred million. Because they needed it to be ready-made, they brought the equipment straight from the hospital. Dr. Immaculate will get customized ones from abroad later on."

"He didn't tell me about any of this at all," Violla said, feeling guilty again. "He must have told Cruze to look for Olympia to keep me company here as well."

"You did well to find a man as thoughtful as him," Mrs. Blake said, smiling. Then, her face clouded over again. "But will his parents agree to your marriage? Clans like the Roman family tend to have complicated rules."

Violla thought of D'barl Roman . She felt a little unsettled. D'barl had disliked her from the moment he lay eyes on her, and he might not come to accept her in the future either.

"It's alright, let's take things one step at a time." Mrs. Blake patted Violla's hand cheerfully. "I've been lying in the hospital for two months! My bones are completely frozen! Now that I'm finally out, leave the kitchen to me. I'll make all of you something nice to eat."

Mrs Blake rolled up her sleeves and turned to leave the room. Violla stopped her immediately. "Mrs. Blake, you just got out of the hospital. You should be resting now."

"Miss, you know me. I get all antsy and uncomfortable when I rest. I need to work if I want my energy back. Besides, the kids like my cooking. I haven't made anything for them in such a long time! Please grant my wish today." Pleaded Mrs Blake.

"Oh, alright then." Violla conceded.
