Her father’s death, her mother’s insanity, and her family’s hospital being taken over — how could she let go of such a grudge?It was she who seduced him, approached him with all kinds of schemes to make him love her, all because he was the fiancé of the person who caused her family’s misfortune. And he, he loved her so much that he would do anything for her. His strength, intelligence, and resolve seemed to vanish completely before her.Perhaps the only thing he was lucky for in this life was being of value to her.

　　Ricard smiled slightly, responding with tact. "I'll contribute what I can. But what's important is that we're all working toward a common goal—helping the children. I believe this event will be a great success, and we'll do everything to achieve that."

　　After returning from the hospital, Emma immediately started preparing for tonight's auction.
