FreeNovelParticularly after Jennifer beca married woman, she blossomed into an even more enchanting figure, her allure intensified,
utterly irresistible.
At every family gathering, her parents’ birthdays, holidays, and celebrations, her stunning beauty captured his gaze, tugging at his
heartstrings.
He had exhausted all his acting skills to control his emotions and not show them.
“What does this have to do with the Collins family???” Shirley demanded, her anger flaring.
“Back then, Lucas’ situation was similar to mine. We sympathized with each other, and Donna and Beverly also becfriends.”
That night, one of Tomas' men reported to him that George and Jennifer had returned home, apparently because Jennifer had her
period suddenly and was not feeling well.
Tomas had planned on seizing the opportunity to strike, but then his men reported that Kenneth and Louisa were at Mercy Hospital,
and Louisa had just given birth to a daughter.

He called Lucas, offering to take care of things for them once and for all, as his men were already in position at the clinic, with the
explosives all set for action.
If Kenneth and Louisa died, the family business would naturally fall into Lucas’ hands. And later, Lucas could lend his support to
Tomas in taking over the company from George.
At the time, Tomas was building his own company, which was not as large as the one his brother had inherited, and he needed
support.
By then, he was already intimate with Lucas and his wife.
“But Lucas hesitated. After all, it was his own brother, and his sister-in-law had just given birth to a daughter. He found it hard to be
ruthless, but | told him, ‘No guts, no glory.” all this while hoping he would bear in mind my support when he eventually took over
the family business.”
Everyone was shocked upon hearing the truth.
But what Tomas hadn't anticipated was that Kenneth and Louisa would escape the inferno with their baby.
When he received the news, he immediately sent his men to clear the remaining trouble, fearing any survivors could pose a threat
to him.
However, not long after his men arrived, Kenneth and Louisa’s people showed up.
He had no choice but to order his men to retreat.
He never expected that the child Kenneth and Louisa had saved wasn’t their own flesh and blood, but Serena.
Nor did he foresee that Arabella would be taken in and raised by the Murphy family.
He only learned of this many years later, but by then, he figured since the Collins and the Murphy families hadn't realized their
children had been mistakenly switched, he might as well stay out of it, feigning ignorance.

“You bastard!!” Shirley, seething with rage, slapped him, and unable to contain her fury, struck him two more times, “So this was
all your doing.”
Phillip also lashed out with a punch, “What gave you the right to decide for Lucas? That was their family business. What does it
have to do with you?”
He never imagined his eldest son could do such a thing.
George stepped forward and landed a heavy punch on his brother, “You couldn’t even spare your own brother. You've been
coveting your younger brother's wife for years.”
It was despicable, utterly despicable!
Then Jeffery stepped up, his fists clenched, and struck his father hard, “Are you even human??”
“If you felt the company should've been yours, if you thought it was unfair, why didn’t you just talk to Grandpa and have a
conversation? Uncle George never wanted the company; it was Grandpa who chose him. But you, without asking, making things up
yourself, harboring resentment against him for years, even plotting to kill him!” Luna, too, was disheartened by her father’s
actions.
