Chapter 667 Jessica gently patted Aurelia’s hand. "You and Leopold have been through the wringer, my dear. It must be a test from the heavens. After every storm comes a calm." Aurelia wasn't sure if she and Leopold could withstand the test. After all, those who can stay true through thick and thin are as rare as hen's teeth.
When times are tough, everyone looks after their own self-interest.
In difficult times, a poor couple can only share their struggles; the dream of sharing sweet success feels unattainable. For a middle-aged man, his ultimate wish is to climb up the social ladder, strike gold, and if luck permits, maybe even trade his old wife for a younger model.
As for the wealthy, they can share the prosperity, but they shirk from adversity. When the first hint of trouble arises, they abandon ship and scatter like dust in the wind.

Jessica sighed. She knew all too well how much her son cared for Aurelia. He couldn't bear to be apart from her.
Three years ago, when Aurelia left, he tortured himself to the brink, spending days in the hospital.
"A child needs to be with their birth parents to thrive." That's what Aurelia believed too. In the world of the elite, stepmothers were notorious for favoring their own blood. Everyone wants their own child to inherit the empire.
"Mr. Leopold is swamped with work, and | can't cto see Kane often, so I'm entrusting him to you" “Don't worry, my dear. I'll keep our little Kane safe,’ Jessica whispered.
After Aurelia stepped out, she headed to Kane's room.
Leopold was busy tweaking a robot for Kane.
It was a small robot about half a person's height, and it looked incredibly cute. When it saw Aurelia, it glided over. "Hello, I'm Mars, the smartest artificial intelligence robot in the world? it said.
“Wow, Aurelia's eyes widened in surprise, "This robot greets people on its own?" “Yeah, Kane nodded, "Mom, Mars is super smart. It can do a lot of cool stuff." Aurelia gave a thumbs up, "Kane, you're amazing, almost like a little Einstein. If William could see this awesrobot, he'd be over the moon." Kane smiled, "Next twe go to Blossom Villa, | can bring Mars to play with William." Aurelia longed to take Kane on vacation, feeling a pang of guilt every tshe went out without him.
"My baby.” She held Kane in her arms, "Kane, I'm sorry for not visiting these past days. | promise I'll cby more often." Kane shook his head, “It's okay, Mom. | know you and Dad have important things to take care of. Once we defeat the bad guys, we can be together every day.” Such a sweet, understanding child, shouldering burdens no child should bear.

“As long as you are happy and healthy, I'll do anything for you.” She kissed his cheek, feeling a twinge of pain in her heart.
If anyone dared to harm Kane, she would fight to the death, no mercy shown.
Mars wheeled over to the coffee table, its mechanical arm deftly grabbing a juice box and handing it to Aurelia, "Madam, please enjoy your juice.” "Thank you," Aurelia smiled.
“You're welcome,” Mars responded politely.
Unscrewing the cap, Aurelia took a sip and laughed, "| used to daydream about having a robot like R2-D2 when | watched Star Wars as a kid. Looks like my son is making that dream ctrue." Kane's smile was enchanting, "Mars can even play chess withnow, but it still needs upgrades and improvements to get smarter." "Keep it up, sweetheart. Mommy's so proud of you,’ Aurelia beamed, overjoyed to have such bright and thoughtful sons.
