Eudora and the others left after dinner.

Kesha was once again lectured by Felicia at home.

"Didn't you say that you and Steven are getting along well? When are you two getting married then?"

Kesha was annoyed and she frowned impatiently, "Mom, why are you urging us? We'll get married when the time is right!"

"What do you mean by when the time is right? You two aren't that young anymore. You should get married as soon as possible. At least, I'll still be able to take care of your child when the time comes. Didn't you see how cute Eudora's child is! Your father adores Juju very much. If you bear his grandchild, he would definitely be delighted!"

Kesha's brain was buzzing, "Mom, that's enough. You are getting more and more fond of Eudora now, aren't you? Don't forget that I'm your biological daughter, not her!"

After that, she turned out and left in a huff.

Felicia sighed as she watched her leave.

Steven had already left when Kesha came out of the room.

Fie must have noticed that both Amos and Eudora did not seem to be affected at all. Fie was infuriated that they were plotting against him secretly instead. At the thought of this, Kesha scrambled out and rushed to the hospital at once.

She inquired about the situation once she found that particular doctor, and she was certain that Amos had already known that the baby in Eudora's belly wasn't his. After all, the doctor had lied about the date of conception as per Kesha's request. She was relieved.

She called Steven, but he didn't even pick up the call. It was obvious that he was still angry at her.

Kesha was also annoyed by the thought that Steven seemed to be a complete loser compared to Amos.

She had always regarded Steven as a capable man before she got to know him better. However, at this moment, he was just a fool who benefitted from the help of his woman. After all those years of studying abroad, was this all he was truly capable of?

Kesha felt more and more envious when she thought of just how well Amos was treating Eudora.

She couldn't help but compare the two men together. As a result, she felt that Steven's achievements and personality could not even match a third of Amos'!

However, what else could she do? Things had already developed to this point, she ought to finish the race even if she had to crawl to the end!

Kesha canceled the call and drove to the amusement park.

She was certain that Steven had nowhere else to go other than the amusement park.

It turned out that she was right. As soon as Kesha reached the amusement park, she saw Steven lying on the office couch, dispirited. When he saw Kesha that had arrived, he turned his head away from her and threw a tantrum like a child.

Kesha breathed a sigh of relief and went forward to hold his hand.

"Steven, listen to me."

Steven shook her hand off, "What else is there to say? Are you here for a good laugh? I have nothing left, and everything is going to be taken away by Amos. Why don't you go over to Amos' side as well? As you could see, he treats your sister really well. Perhaps, he will treat you the same way."

Kesha sneered in her heart. She would if she could.

Did he really believe that she wanted to stay with a good-for-nothing like him? She just wasn't as lucky as Eudora was! There was nothing else she could do!

For the first half of her life, she had been outshined by Eudora in every possible aspect. A few years down the road, her glory days soon came after Eudora had been married off, yet she was still the family's pride.

However, Eudora wasn't that capable and Felix was never fond of her. Hence, she enticed him to prove otherwise.

She successfully enticed Felix, but Amos appeared in Eudora's life, Kesha immediately dumped Felix without even batting an eye. Since then, she had spent many years looking for the right man, just so she could be the pride of her family.

However, before she could hold her head high once again, Eudora had come back to haunt her again.

After leaving for five years, she obtained fame and success, and she even gave birth to a child. Although she was away for so long, she was still so doted on by Amos.

What did Eudora do to deserve such a great life? Why couldn't she get the same luck?

The more she thought about it, the more her heart flared up.

She snorted, "Steven, if you are going to behave like this, then I have nothing more to say. There is a limit to my patience! I've told you that I could help you. But if you are not willing to stand up for yourself, then don't expect to count on others! Don't you want to avenge your parents anymore? Just stay here and rot then. I'm leaving!"

She then stomped her way out of the office.

Just like the first time she met Steven, she was counting the beats in her heart with every step she took.

One, two, three...

She was gambling, like the first time.

Without a doubt, her bet was right. Steven soon caught up with her and held her hand.

"Kesha, it's my fault. Could you please tell me what's going on?"

Seeing that Kesha was reluctant to give in, Steven pulled her into his embrace. After hugging her for a while, he said, "It's really my fault. I shouldn't be like this. I'm just upset about what has been going on lately." At this moment, Steven finally looked like he was in love with Kesha.

Kesha looked at Steven and remembered what Felicia had said earlier. Hence, she spoke up subconsciously, "Steven, when are we getting married?"

Steven was flustered and he let go of Kesha's hand instantly.

"Why are we talking about this all of a sudden? Aren't we doing just fine right now?"

However, he knew that he had misspoken this time. Hence, he tried to redeem himself by saying, "Now is not the right time for us to get married. I want to marry you in style and bring pride to your family. I don' want you to be mistreated."

At the end of the day, no woman could resist a man's sweet words. Even Kesha, a woman with much romance experience, wasn't an exception. She felt much better after listening to Steven's words. Steven immediately urged, "Anyway, what were you saying just now? Have you made some arrangements?"

Kesha nodded her head and took out her cell phone to share an audio recording. A while ago, she went to the doctor not only to prove that Amos had been deceived but also to prove to Steven what she was capable of doing.

The recorded dialogue started playing.

The doctor had personally said that she had forged the test results under Kesha's arrangement. According to this logic, Amos must have already known that the child in Eudora's belly was not his! Steven was in disbelief. He asked, "How could that be? Amos knows that the child is not his, yet he still treats Eudora that well. Doesn't it bother him?"

The only feeling that Kesha had for Eudora in the past was resentment. However, it was at this moment that she actually felt a little envious of her.

She envied Eudora for having a man who truly loved her even to this day, regardless of the circumstances.

Amos protected Eudora in his hands like a rare treasure. He was even willing to place her under hypnosis just so that she would not suffer anymore even though she would end up losing her memory. He even treated her child as his own.

However, after the envy, only a fit of strong jealousy remained when she compared herself with them.

Kesha chuckled, "Amos is willing to deceive himself. However, would Eudora accept it once she knows about it?"
