“What a fool you are,” Lydia said helplessly. “All right. I won’t force you. But once you arrive in Zentiscape and found Charlie, think about it carefully. I actually think you and Charlie are truly a good match. Both of you are good children.”

Kelly was irritated and said, “Mom, I’m leaving.” Although she was leaving, she was not alone. The Jones family had arranged many bodyguards to keep her safe openly and secretly. No matter what, Kelly was the sole heir of the Jones family. No one could afford it if someone took advantage of the situation and killed her. Soon, Kelly left.

Meanwhile, the Jones family used their relationship with Hoggard Technologies and sent a message to the latter, informing Hayden that Kelly was going to Zentiscape to find Charlie and imploring Hayden to protect her. Hayden, who was at work, was startled after reading the email from Jones Group. But soon, he realized Jones Group’s motive and thought he would never help them.

The reason why Hoggard Technologies could get to where it was at present and gain the trust of all nations was because it never favored anyone. Otherwise, no one would trust Hoggard Technologies in the future. No matter how advanced the products Hoggard Technologies developed were, nobody would dare to use them. After all, high–tech products were weapons. If Hoggard Technologies sided with their enemy and bought the products of Hoggard Technologies, those robots might turn against them, and they would be doomed eventually

Hayden refused Jones Group’s request directly through e–mail. In Yowhayton, Ronan and Ryker, who had laid out a plan, were surprised when they saw the email.

Meanwhile, the other two prominent plutocratic families in Yowhayton also paid close attention to Kelly’s trip. They even arranged for someone to follow Kelly to Zentiscape secretly. Needless to say, they were truly worried about Hoggard Technologies favoring the Jones family. Little did they expect that something big would happen to the Jones family three days later.

Ryker and Ronan, as well as Ronan’s wife, Lydia, were all dead. Three of them died in the mansion. Joshua noticed something was wrong and reported it to the police. The police went over to investigate it and found that the murderer was Lydia. The incident immediately became international news.

Although Kelly listened to Lydia and went to Zentiscape, she didn’t look for Charlie. She only wanted to walk around and get some fresh air before going back. When Kelly saw the news, she was stunned. She couldn’t believe it and wanted to go back immediately. She wanted to know what had happened and wondered why Lydia killed Ronan and Ryker. Her sanity told her that such a thing would never happen. She couldn’t control her emotions and collapsed, though.

The bodyguard following her stopped her and handed her a letter, saying it was from Lydia. It wasn’t until Claire took the letter and saw Lydia’s handwriting that she believed it was Lydia’s decision. It turned out that Lydia never loved Ronan.

Over 30 years ago, Lydia had an older sister, Leilani Sullivan, who was also Claire’s aunt. Leilani had been very smart since she was a child and was a genius praised by many people. She had skipped grades and attended university earlier. After graduating from university, she went abroad to study. The country she went to was Yowhayton.

Back then, everyone thought Leilani would have a promising future and looked forward to the day she returned from studying abroad, earning a lot of money and making a name for herself. Little did they expect that they would receive the news of Leilani’s death from Yowhayton one year later. Everyone felt sorry for that, but Lydia thought otherwise.

When Leilani was studying abroad, she had sent a message to Lydia. Thus, Lydia knew Leilani had a boyfriend in Yowhayton, and that person was the president of the terrifying Jones Group, Ronan Jones. Before the accident happened, Leilani had sent a message to Lydia, saying Ronan wanted to kill her and asking Lydia to save her. However, Lydia couldn’t afford to go abroad to save Leilani at that time. She didn’t even know the formalities of going overseas. After such a delay, she received the news of Leilani’s death in the end.

Lydia went to confront Ronan, but it was of no use. Later, Ronan had a crush on her and forced her to be his lover. During the period he imprisoned her, she thought of many ways to murder Ronan but failed in the end. She was tortured by Ronan in return and lived a life worse than death.

The Jones family’s personal physician was very skillful. Every time after Ronan had tortured Lydia viciously, the physician

would save her life and let him continue to torture her. At that time, Lydia even thought she was going to die at Ronan’s hands, just like Leilani. Fortunately, someone plotted against the Jones family, and she seized the chance to escape.

In truth, she didn’t escape by herself. When she fled, the people of the Zentiscape embassy saw her and saved her secretly. After all, she had stayed with Ronan for some time and knew some of his secrets, which she handed over to the government, who later sent her back to Zentiscape. After she had returned to Zentiscape, she found that she was pregnant.

Lydia had thought of all kinds of ways to get rid of the baby in her womb but failed. Later, when she felt fetal movements, she slowly accepted the baby, which was Claire. She thought Claire was only a child and different from Ronan. Little did she expect their peaceful life to be disturbed again over 20 years later. The reason was still because of Claire, as she was the only surviving lineage of the Jones family, and Ronan needed her back as an heiress.

Lydia knew Ronan very well and was aware of his tricks. Although she could lodge a report and seek help from the motherland, there was no way the latter would arrange for someone to protect her and Claire every day.

Lydia understood the importance of being the only heir to the Jones family and knew that she and Claire couldn’t escape this time. It would only make her fall out with Ryan if she resisted stubbornly. She and Claire might be forcibly separated and not have a chance to see each other in the future. In the end, Lydia pretended to be in love with Ronan, took the initiative to approach him, and returned to the Jones family with Claire.

Lydia had been very cautious for the next few years and finally realized that Claire couldn’t fit in the Jones family. In the past few years, Glaire resolutely refused to get married and give birth to an heir. Lydia was both gratified and distressed. She was glad that Claire was different from those scumbags of the Jones family. At the same time, she was distressed as to why Claire would have to get involved with those scumbags.
