One night, a fleet of police cars mobilized, surrounding the Steven family’s private clinic.
The next day, news of Oliver Steven, Olivia’s father, organizing illegal organ trafficking, selling corpses, and auctioning babies made headlines in the city.
Olivia, as an intermediary, was also arrested.
Seeing Olivia in handcuffs, with disheveled hair on the news, I was speechless with shock.
Although the Steven family’s influence was not what it used to be, they were still a well–known old enterprise in the city. To think they were profiting through such means behind the scenes.
All of the Steven family’s assets were seized by the court, including Lucas’s racing club.

What awaited them was likely life imprisonment.
Looking at the rescued babies, I felt a pang of sadness in my heart.
Lily jumped into my arms, her chubby little hands waving in front of my face:
“Mommy, what’s wrong?”
I held her on my lap, hugging her tightly:
“Mommy’s fine. I just feel so lucky to have you, Lily”
Adrian pouted nearby, pretending to be jealous. He stood up, about to sit on my other leg.
His nearly six–foot–three frame loomed over me like a wall.
I laughed and pushed him away:
“You’re getting more childish with age, competing with your daughter for attention.”
Hearing this, Adrian looked even more pitiful, complaining with a pout:
“Honey, you’ve forgotten about your husband since you had a daughter.”
“Am I not making you happy?”
I gave him a light kiss on the forehead.
Adrian was delighted, but now Lily was unhappy.
“Mommy, I want one too! I want two!”
“Alright, alright.”
“Honey, then I want three!”
“…Okay”
“Mommy! I want four!”

“Ring ring ring”
An unknown number called, saving me from this chaotic situation.
This was my private number, and I had saved all my regular contacts.
After hesitating for a moment, I pressed the answer button.
Lucas’s voice came through the receiver:
“Evelyn, it’s me.”
“What do you want?”
“Evelyn, the Steven family has been arrested. Did you see? I was the one who called the police.”
I frowned, not understanding why he suddenly came to tell me this.
“And?”
