They had fallen to such a miserable state. Before coming to Seacity, they had received the news—since no lawyer dared to take her case, John had won the lawsuit! All shares of Gray Corporation now belonged to him! And under John’s maneuvering, Raelynn had been left with absolutely nothing! As if that wasn’t bad enough, Julie had also been dismissed from Gray Corporation! Rosie and Susie’s careers had suffered consecutive blows as well. It was obvious—John and Renee were behind this, forcing Julie and Rosie to sell their last two small apartments! Now, the four of them had only one hope—Arthur! Raelynn hadn’t just brought Susie to Seacity for Arthur’s wedding. More importantly, they wanted to establish themselves in Seacity! They had even brought all their luggage with them! That cramped, narrow apartment in South City where Julie lived—they were sick of it. They couldn’t stand another day in that place! Raelynn planned to use Arthur’s engagement banquet, in front of Seacity’s most elite, to make sure everyone knew—she was Arthur’s biological mother! Susie and her sisters were Arthur’s sisters! It wasn’t just about survival. Raelynn wanted Susie to make an impression on Seacity’s wealthy young men! The upper class in Seacity was far richer than that of South City. If her daughters could marry well, Raelynn, as their mother, would naturally be able to live a comfortable life too. So she couldn’t give up. She wouldn’t give up! She had to make Arthur acknowledge them in front of everyone! As long as he recognized them, Seacity’s elite would surely treat them with respect, all because of Arthur! Raelynn pondered. With that, would survival even be a problem? The answer is obvious, of course not! Arthur’s engagement banquet had drawn such an impressive crowd, proving his immense status in Seacity! Even if they were humiliated now, if it meant securing a life of luxury in the future, what did a little embarrassment matter? As the bodyguards led her away, Raelynn suddenly turned around. Seizing an opening while the guards were distracted, she suddenly bolted toward Arthur! The crowd gasped in shock at the sudden turn of events.Raelynn ran straight to Arthur—and then, in front of everyone, she dropped to her knees and begged for mercy! This stunned the entire room! Seeing this, Julie and the others quickly turned back and ran to Raelynn’s side. The bodyguards sighed in frustration. A moment ago, they had held back, respecting the fact that these women were Arthur’s biological relatives. Since they were women, they had refrained from using force. But now, it was clear—they weren’t giving up. The moment Raelynn fell to her knees, she grabbed Arthur’s hands, crying and pleading. "Arthur, I truly know I was wrong! I was deceived by John and Zac! I was blind to their manipulation! It’s my fault, Arthur! I let you down! John has already divorced me, and we’ve lost everything! Julie lost her job, Rosie and Susie’s careers are in shambles! Arthur, you’re all we have left! If you don’t take us in, we have nowhere to go!" Arthur instinctively took a few steps back, pulling his hands away from Raelynn’s grasp. Julie saw this and hesitated. She hated the idea of begging for mercy in front of so many people—it was humiliating. But they had no other choice. It wasn’t just about her. She had her mother and her two younger sisters. Rosie and Susie were still young—she couldn’t let their youth be wasted in struggle and hardship. Pressing her lips together, she spoke softly, "Arthur, we truly realize our mistakes. I know you’re still angry, but please, let us make it up to you from now on, okay?" When the bodyguards had been dragging them out earlier, Susie had already been terrified. She had once again experienced what it meant to be powerless—to have no status, no influence, and to be treated like nothing. Even if she didn’t want to admit it, she understood now—her only option was to cling to Arthur! With Arthur’s support, they could establish themselves in Seacity with pride! But if Arthur refused to acknowledge them… Susie didn’t even dare to imagine how miserable her future would be. She had entered the entertainment industry after graduating, but her career had never really taken off. When Gray Corporation was still backing her, she had managed to land a few supporting roles and even played a lead once. But now, ever since John divorced Raelynn and kicked them out, the moment the news spread, those who had once treated her with respect instantly changed their attitudes! She couldn’t even land minor roles anymore! Thinking of this, Susie clenched her teeth. Then, swallowing her pride, she also dropped to her knees and begged, "Arthur! I was wrong before! I’m truly sorry! Please, just give us a way to survive!" The crowd watched in astonishment as Susie knelt before Arthur.
