“You’re asking me what I’m trying to do? Why don’t you ask your mother what she did?” Christina showed a baleful glare as if she was going to eat someone up.“Mom, what did you do?” Michael shifted his gaze to his mother.“I didn’t do anything. This b*tch barged into our house and hit me without getting her facts straight. Ah, my head hurts very badly!”“Stop pretending! You must be the one who kidnapped my son! Heather, God is watching everything you do. Karma is going to come for you!” “I didn’t kidnap her son. Trust me, Michael. I really didn’t kidnap her son!”“You’re still trying to pretend, huh? You got someone to take my son away in the mall last time, and I’m sure it’s also you who did it this time. Heather, if anything happens to my son, I’m going to make you pay back with your life.”Amid the bustle in the house, Ariel’s phone rang. She picked up the call, and her face glowed with surprise. “Travis has been found? Alright, we’re coming back now.” Everyone heard Ariel
As Christina was worried about Travis’ safety, she wanted to leave with Ariel right away. However, Heather dashed toward them and blocked their way. “No way. I can’t accept being humiliated in such a terrible way. She has to compensate me for the humiliation I suffered today!”While holding Heather, Serena said, “Mrs. Larson, just forgive her this time.”Of course, Heather would not let Christina go. Now that her son had returned, she was more confident. She did not mind another fight!Heather took off her high heels and threw them at Christina. After that, she even went forward to pull Christina’s hair. Christina subconsciously defended herself, and a slap landed on Heather’s face. Heather happened to come forward, but Christina did not mean to slap her face. Christina did not plan to retreat since she had already slapped Heather in the face. She believed that Heather deserved it! The crisp sound of the slap was heard. Covering her face, Heather staggered back and nearly fell.
“Are you blaming me? I’m doing this for your own good.” Heather did not think she was wrong. “All you think about is that cheap woman. When will you give me a grandson?!”“Mom, I know you have my best interests in heart but I’m not your puppet. I have my own way of thinking so stop trying to force your ways on me, please?”“Alright, I’ll stop forcing my ways on you but this is not going to end here. Imagine how embarrassed I’d be if the public knew someone attacked me in my own house without reason? I’ll not let Christina off the hook. I’ll make her pay!”“What will you do?” Michael could not think straight. He figured there must be something else behind this. Perhaps his mother provoked Christina first? However, her rushing into their house to attack his mother still upset him nonetheless.Heather was still his mother even if she did something wrong. Did Christina think of him at all when she hit his mother?“Call the police and send her to jail. I will not free her of this!” Hea
Heather had no idea about Travis’s disappearance thus she was genuinely surprised when Christina barged through the door. An idea suddenly popped into her mind during the argument. She thought that if she could provoke Christina, Michael would finally open his eyes to see the woman’s true colors.Therefore, instead of trying to explain herself, she started to argue fiercely with Christina, all with the intention of forcing her to do something irrational. Her goal would then be achieved when her son returned. Heather started the fight and cursed Christina’s son. As expected, anger got into the other woman’s head and she almost strangled Heather to death.There was no return for Heather at this point, so the fight only became more intense.When Michael refused to say anything, she knew all of these were for nothing, that he was still siding Christina. She was filled with extreme anger and hatred.Heather could tell from the worry in her son’s eyes that he still cared about his moth
Heather must be the person who orchestrated this. She wanted Christina to leave Michael and move her family out of Jade City. That explained why she reacted overly agitated at Christina’s arrival — it was to provoke her further.If anything bad shall happen to Travis, then she would make sure Heather the old witch would pay for it!Travis woke up for a short while before passing out again which put Christina on the edge of her seat. Serena called the next morning. “Sister, I’d like to meet you.”The impatience was evident in Christina’s voice. “For what?”“Something important, of course!”As Christina was not in the mood to entertain, she was about to end the call.“It’s about your child. I’m at the coffee shop near the hospital entrance. It’s up to you to show up or not.” Serena ended the call after that.Upon hearing that this involved Travis, Christina immediately had Francis look after the boy while she left the hospital for the coffee shop.Serena stood up at Christina’s
Christina was fully aware that Serena had been eyeing Michael since the beginning. She kept pestering him even before Christina married the man. “Do you think I don’t know that you fancy Michael? You said your actions were for my interests but in fact, you’re no different from your disgraceful and shameless mother. Both of you are homewreckers who steal another woman’s husband!”“Sister, I understand that you’re angry at me but you shouldn’t insult Mom like that. She really would sacrifice me for your benefit!”Serena argued, “I know you’re the one whom Michael loves, so I’ve been keeping my feelings to myself. I’m willing to have a child with him and I will do anything just for him. But I have never thought of destroying your marriage. I’m not as mean as you think.”Her words suddenly made it seem like Christina was the petty one between the two. In spite of that, she still refused to believe a single word Serena said.“I only believe what I saw with my own eyes and I don’t have
Christina felt especially upset to see Michael caring for Serena. Three years ago, he ignored her safety and rushed out of the house while carrying the latter in his arms. Nothing had changed three years later. He still showed such gentle consideration for Serena by instinct.Christina clenched her teeth in anger upon remembering that Travis was still hospitalized because of Heather. “Michael, tell Heather I’ll take her unworthy life myself if something bad happens to my boy!”“Christina!” Michael was furious too. “Don’t go over the limit!”He had tolerated it when she barged into his house to attack his mother. Being called unfilial because of that had already upset him, yet she still insulted his mother right now. He could not endure it any longer.“You can demand from me the suffering I caused you but that doesn’t mean you can humiliate my mother without scruple!”“I humiliate her? Hahaha!” Christina suddenly laughed aloud. “Michael, I’ll make you regret. I swear that I’ll make
Learning about Serena’s infertility stupefied Michael!He did not expect that the accident from three years ago would traumatize her body! Serena was an innocent party from the beginning yet she had to suffer this terrible consequence. Her life was ruined!A person as kind as her should not have to bear such pain. It was all his fault. It was his mother who wanted Serena to be the surrogate and because of this, he must make it up to the latter.Reconciliation seemed impossible between Heather and Christina. His mother kept threatening to throw Christina in jail from her hospital bed. Not only did Christina not understand his difficult position, but she even insulted him and assaulted Serena.Michael could not stop thinking about the words she said, calling him a piece of discarded garbage that she would never pick up again. She even claimed that she was not interested in a man like him who had been used by others!‘Christina, I didn’t think you could be this cruel! You assumed t
