Chapter 1
In the corridor of a maternity hospital.
“My babies, your dad is a jerk. He did something bad and ran away. But don’t worry. When you’re born,
Mommy will take you to a better place and find you a handsome dad. You gotta stay strong, okay?”
As soon as Alice Doyle finished talking, she caressed her belly and anxiously looked toward the
elevator.
The babies in her belly were already eight months old, but the doctor said their condition was not good.
She had to sign the form to carry out a cesarean immediately.
The conception of the babies was highly unexpected.
Something happened to her on the night she reached the legal age of adulthood. A man forcefully took
advantage of her.
That night was truly like a nightmare. She was weak. She could not even remember the face of that
man.
Unable to find the father of her children, now she could only turn to her biological parents for help…
As Alice was thinking, the elevator door opened. Hurried footsteps could be heard coming toward her.
Just as she was about to speak, a loud slap landed on her face. The searing pain made her almost
lose her balance,
“You wretch! Didn’t I tell you to get rid of the babies? How dare you keep them! You’re bringing shame
upon the Doyle family!” The person who approached her roared in uncontrollable anger.
The look in that person’s eyes was as if he was looking at a filthy piece of garbage.
Alice wiped away a trace of blood from the corner of her mouth, took a deep breath, and stared
motionlessly at the man
before her.
This was the head of the Doyle family and Alice’s biological father, Preston Doyle.
Behind Preston stood her mother, Eliza Doyle, who also regarded her as a shameful disgrace. “We
won’t sign to let you give birth to ba stards!” she said.
The people before her were her closest kin. However, ever since she was violated and became
pregnant, there had not been a single word of comfort from them. Instead, they cursed at her and
reproached her whenever they saw her.
Alice wanted to argue and explain to them, but at this moment, she was trembling with discomfort. She
could only look at them resentfully.
“You shameless wretch!” Eliza said. “How dare you look at us with such resentful eyes!” Just as Eliza
was about to erupt in anger, a nurse approached from the side.
As Eliza looked at the surgical consent form handed over by the nurse, she appeared to have gone
mad. She sna tched it and tore it into pieces. She then shouted angrily at Alice.
“What are you waiting for, you wretch?” Eliza said. “Ask them to get the consent form for induced
abortion.”
Alice’s face had turned somewhat cold. She defiantly looked at them and said, “They are already eight
months old. According to international law, they have human rights. You can’t induce abortion as you
please!”

Preston angrily pointed at Alice’s nose and said, “You dare to talk about human rights? Alice, are you
hell-bent on destroying the Doyle family’s reputation?”
Alice thought, “Humph, in their eyes, the reputation of the Doyle family will always be more important.”
Alice chuckled coldly and said, “If you find me disgraceful, you can just disown me.”
Preston stomped his foot forcefully and said, “You wretch, don’t challenge me! If you listen to us and
undergo induced labor now, we can still consider you as a daughter of the Doyle family and arrange a
suitable marriage partner for you. But if you disobey us and choose to be disowned, then just wait and
see…”
“For the sake of my children, I choose to be disowned!” Alice said. Upon sneering coldly, she supported Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
her waist and walked toward the office of the head of the obstetrics and gynecology department with
difficulty.
Eliza roared angrily from behind her. She said, “Alice, we won’t take care of you! We won’t contribute a
single cent for your surgery expenses.”
Preston was also infuriated. He said, “I will disown
you tomorrow.”
After Alice entered the office of the head of the obstetrics and gynecology department, she immediately
fainted.
Three hours later, Alice was in the ward.
“I’m sorry, Miss Doyle,” a nurse said apologetically. “We couldn’t save your three babies.”
Alice’s face instantly turned pale. She raised her hand. Her hand was trembling as she gripped the
nurse’s arm. Her voice choked with tears as she cried.

“Your overall health is good,” the nurse said. “With another year of rest, you can still conceive. Actually,
you don’t have to…
The nurse said a lot, but Alice did not listen to a single word. Bits and pieces of the things that had
happened in the past few months flashed through her mind intermittently.
Tears kept streaming down her face.
She thought, “Babies, Mommy doesn’t want to lose you….
“Babies, Mommy wants to hold you and watch you grow up…
“Babies…”
Five years later, outside the gates of Studio City in Lonrid, Alice had just finished removing her
makeup.
She was getting ready to go home and rest. Unexpectedly, the company’s vice president, Travis
Richards, rushed out and grabbed hold of her car door with one hand.
