No Strings Attached

After she finished speaking, she immediately embraced Heidi, tears streaming down her cheeks. Her voice choked, "Heidi, how did you end up like this? It's all my fault. I've dragged you down with me." Heidi still refused to acknowledge Leonora as her mother. She pushed her away. "Get away, you're not my mother!"

"Heidi, whether you acknowledge it or not, I'm your mother. Don't worry, from now on, I'll take care of you. I won't let you suffer."

His gaze darkened slightly. It seemed his tactic was effective. Heidi was indeed Leonora's Achilles' heel.

Leonora had always refused to tell the truth, but now she was finally ready to speak up for her daughter's sake.

lan and Anders drove to the prison together. The moment Leonora saw him, tears burst forth from her eyes. "Ian, I'll tell you everything you want to know. Please arrange a separate cell for me and Heidi. I'll take care of her. She's unable to take care of herself and has incontinence issues. Every time it happens, those women beat her.

"You knew she was related to me by blood, but you still wanted us to marry. What exactly are you planning!"

Leonora shook her head. "I didn't want to. It was that person who insisted on it. He said if you married Heidi, he could help me secure a position within the Hayes family and also keep the Campbell and York families at bay. He's a devil and does not care if you two are siblings as long as it serves his purpose."
