it can be said that they were a match made in heaven, enviable to all. After their marriage, their relationship was good and they bar their fast crabi Giovan Todd, in the first year Unfortunately, Giovani passed away at the age of twee due to illness and isabelle’s health detenorated from then on. However, Kal’s career continued to flourish and he even got involved with his leader’s daughter Thatta Spence. At this time, Isabella became pregéart
ngaim
When she was eight months pregnant, she found out that her husband had kept another woman, Thalia, who even dropped in to show off her pregnancy isabella was so angry that she gave birth prematurely and died of excessive bleeding.
The child in her womb was Master Iker who grew up without a mother and had a withdrawn nature.
The Wood family did not want to give up on the Todd family as relatives, so they thought about finding another girl from their family to marry her off to
Kal.
Who knew that Kai got drunk one night and slept with his sister–in–law Poppy Wood.
Poppy was Isabella’s biological sister, also Kai’s third wife now.
Being threatened by the Wood family, and given the fact that Iker had just lost his mother and needed someone to take care of him as well as Thalia was pregnant, Kai married both Thalia and Poppy at the same time.
Thalia gave birth to Davon Todd.
Two years later, Poppy gave birth to her daughter named Sophie Todd.
Poppy was a top student, studying finance and management at Harvard University.
Just when everyone thought that was all for Kal’s love affairs, he brought back a six–year–old girl named Erica and adopted her as his own daughter. Everyone respected Erica as the lady of the Todd family. But three years ago, on Erica’s eighteenth birthday party, she suddenly became Kal’s fourth wife.
The announcement of their marriage attracted countless media attention. Just when his son had just had an accident and before long he was celebrating his new marriage.
At that time, Kai was already in his fifties while Erica was only eighteen… everyone secretly laughed about it.
Kai loved his young wife very much. Not only did he buy a house for her parents‘ family but also helped pay off billions of gambling debts for Erica’s younger brother.
Last year, Erica gave birth to twins which made Kai ecstatic with joy. The whole family held this fourth wife in high regard.
Poppy, who didn’t have a son, relied on Madam Thalia, calling her “sis” affectionately. It could be imagined that Madam Thalia was the one with the most resentment in her heart.
She had finally managed to get rid of Kai’s original wife, Isabella, and thought she could have him all to herself. But then the Wood family sent in Poppy, who married into the Todd family on the same day as her.
The Spence family didn’t have much influence in business but they were still a well–known household. There were countless suitors pursuing her but she only had eyes for Kai and didn’t mind that he already had a wife and a child. She was willing to be with him even when she was ridiculed by outsiders. When she finally managed to get rid of her dilemma, another love rival appeared.
A few years ago, Thalia and Poppy couldn’t stand each other’s presence. But ever since Erica entered the picture, they united forces like sisters in arms. It wasn’t surprising because compared to them, Erica was much younger and more beautiful. They were both women in their forties who had no choice but to compete with a cheap woman who could’ve been their daughter for their husband.
It was shameful but also heart–wrenching. Erica was shameless indeed. Even in public places with outsiders present, she sat on her husband’s lap coquettishly.
But Kai just gently patted her beautiful back while smiling indulgently at her before asking softly, “Why did you come here?”
Kai feared that his three wives would fight at any moment if they stayed together, so he bought this huge villa instead.
Normally, his three wives did not live together. Erica was the most favored and lived in the main house with him. Thalia lived with her own son in the largest and most luxurious clock tower. Poppy lived alone in a villa located in the far northwest corner.
Occasionally, Kai would visit his other two wives, accompanying them for meals or staying overnight. However, he mostly enjoyed spending time with his younger wife.
Master Iker was reclusive and moody after breaking his legs. He rarely left his villa located fifteen minutes away by car.
Cheyenne was surprised by Kai’s lavish lifestyle. Rich and powerful, he could sleep with any of his wives.
Erica directly kissed Kai on the face while raising her fair–skinned hand, giggling softly as she explained, “I was bored just now, and Thalia invited me over for a game of poker, but I ended up losing quite a bit.”
Upon hearing this news, Kai laughed and pinched Erica’s face affectionately. “How much did they take from you? I’ll make up for your losses.”
“I know, darling, you are the best person for me. I lost 20 million.” Kai signaled to the butler who quickly brought a check and handed it over to Erica with both hands. She smiled and stuffed it into her pocket.
She turned to Cheyenne and old Mr. Edwards, but when she looked at Cheyenne, her expression visibly changed.
In a jealous tone, she asked, “Who is this, darling? She’s even more beautiful than the stars on TV.”
Kai patted her curvy butt in a flirtatious manner. “Don’t be jealous, sweetie. This is Miss Lawrence, old Mr. Edwards‘ granddaughter. They came today to help cure Iker’s illness.”
Upon hearing this, Erica felt much better.

Chapter 45. The Todd Family’s Past
Looking at Cheyenne apologetically, she said, “I’m sorry, Miss Lawrence, for misunderstanding you.”
Cheyenne remained calm and replied with a smile, “It’s okay, Madam Erica, as you didn’t know my identity?
Thalia took advantage of the situation and made a snide comment towards Erica, “Erica is young and ignorant. Don’t mind her, Miss Lawrence” Erica was displeased by this remark as her smile became colder. This is between me and Miss Lawrence. Thalia, I don’t need your input” Cheyenne remained silent while Layne was getting impatient. He was here to treat Master Iker, not to sit and watch these women argue with one another.
