Serena never planned to go abroad. Sophia already thought it through and came up with a plan for her to stay in the country.Besides, with today’s advanced technology, as long as she delivered the children, she could leak the news to Christina no matter where she was.That would diminish every possibility between Christina and Michael, given her stubborn personality.“Serena, I’m only agreeing to keep the children upon considering your health. You’d better not be scheming against Michael again!”“Dad, don’t worry. I know what to do. I won’t pester him again.”“Besides, your pregnancy should remain an absolute secret from Christina. I won’t be kind if the two of you dare to leak it out!”He finally felt reassured after both the mother and daughter swore to secrecy.Miss Laura had already finished preparing dinner. The three of them had dinner in silence. Even Miss Laura felt a strange tension amidst the quiet atmosphere in the living room.After dinner, Serena excused herself to
Several moments later, the commotion downstairs only got louder. A frown formed between Michael’s brows. His mother seemed to be getting annoyed at Judy more often lately.Michael walked out of the study and looked down from the second floor. He saw Heather shouting from the couch. Judy was kneeling on the ground whilst cleaning the floor. He was about to say something when a furious expression flashed across Judy’s face.He was rather surprised to see the normally good-tempered Judy pulling an angry face at his mother behind their back.He deliberately came down the stairs loudly.The rage on Judy’s face vanished instantly the second she heard the noise and was replaced with deference. This astonished Michael. He even suspected if he was mistaken earlier.“Mom, what is it this time?”“I asked for some crystal sugar collagen but she made it overly sweet. Does she want me to get diabetes?” Heather huffed.“Aren’t you overreacting a little?” He frowned.“This is such a simple tas
Heather was incensed. “That’s not the reason I’m friends with Winona. Gratitude is the best attitude. She’s been kind to me in the past, so it’s natural that I repay her with kindness. As for Serena, she’s a good person by nature who has never done any bloody atrocities that cry to heaven. Her mother’s a homewrecker, but she can’t be blamed for that.”It was true that a person did not need any reason to love or hate someone. Michael already expected she would protect Serena like that.He did not intend to change his mother’s view of Serena in a short time. He was not ready to expose his intentions this early.Serena was a great actress who had even deceived himself, not to mention his mother. He would gradually tear down that woman’s pretense one by one.After advising his mother to take an early rest, he returned to his own room as well. Logan rang as he walked out of the shower. “President Larson, John brought Serena and Sophia to a hospital in C Town today.”“So far away?”“Th
After coming up with this idea, Serena rang Rachel immediately and subtly told her about her pregnancy.Rachel was delighted to learn about the news. Things were getting interesting now that Serena was expecting Michael’s children too. She could use this to crush Christina.Over on the other side, Michael made up his mind and met up with John to express his stance.“Uncle John, I only have eyes for Christina and I’ve never had feelings for Serena. Christina is worried every day because of Travis’ condition. I want to focus on taking care of both of them. The last thing I want is unnecessary trouble.”He was implicitly hinting John to stop Serena from showing up at his house or within his sight.John appeared uneasy throughout their meet-up. He knew Michael was showing respect for not bringing up Serena’s pregnancy. Although Serena had explained herself before, he still thought it was her intention to scheme against Michael. He tried hard to hold back the rage.Sending Serena abro
John thought that Michael was being merciless. The two of them, both feeling suffocated with rage, parted on bad terms.Michael thought Serena was pregnant after raping him on that night. He did not know she only used the sperm he had stored in the cryobank years ago.He felt sullen. He had not heard of a woman raping a man before, but it actually happened to himself.Disgrace!Extraordinary shame and humiliation!He did not have the cheek to beg for Christina’s forgiveness now that he had slept with another woman. Serena had destroyed his future with Christina.The man was incensed. He would not allow others to have a good life if his chance was taken away!Serena could forget about delivering the babies. She only had herself to blame if she could not have any more children in the future.Just as Michael was drowning in despair, Rachel came knocking on Christina’s door. “You poor thing, trying your best to raise and save Michael’s son when he’s busy having a good time with you
Michael felt incensed and devastated after parting ways with John. He was in a rage because of Serena’s shamelessness and feeling sorrowful because all his hopes of getting back with Christina were destroyed. He had been waiting in the past because he had not cheated on her. He figured he would receive Christina’s forgiveness one day. However, there was no way she would forgive him now.He braced himself to come here after considering the situation for a long time. He intended to tell the whole truth to Christina. “Serena’s pregnant.”Michael told her everything that happened without holding back any details. He did not know what to expect. He did not expect he would be forgiven, but he wished she would not stop him from seeing the children.“You mean she partnered up with Suzy to drug you so that she could get pregnant?”Christina looked at him in astonishment. She did not expect him to come clean to her. She figured he would try to cover this up the best he could instead of tel
Francis returned home from grocery shopping. Both Christina and Ariel were sitting on the couch.Christina told them how Serena and Heather had set up Michael to get Serena pregnant. Francis and Ariel were stunned into silence.“How could there be such a shameless woman in the world?” It was an eye-opener for Ariel as this was the first time she heard that a woman could be so mean to this extent.Francis scoffed. “She’s just as cheap as her mother! Back in the days, Sophia set John up and caused your mother’s death. Her daughter is following in her footsteps now.”“Exactly!” Ariel was incensed. “It runs in the blood. The old b*tch gave birth to a young b*tch. This is too infuriating!”On the other hand, Christina appeared calmer in comparison. She knew Serena and Sophia well, hence their actions did not surprise her as much.“Poor Michael, having to get involved with someone like Serena. It’s worse luck than stepping into a pile of dog turd!” Ariel took pity on the man. “Michael’
“No rush. We should wait and see how things go. I’ve sent my people to watch Sophia and her daughter. I’ll be notified as soon as there’s news.”Matthew could teach them a lesson as soon as he acquired any leverage.Ariel then hung up the call. She did not manage to drive far before someone got in her way. She recognized the person instantly from what she had heard previously from Matthew and Christina. “Miss Young, how can I help?”Matthew was not bothered about this fiancée of his. Ariel did not have a good impression of her as well.“I want to have a chat with you, of course.” Rachel looked at Ariel arrogantly, her gaze filled with disdain.She received news that Christina was not the only one staying in Matthew’s house. This woman named Ariel also spent a lot of time there too.She needed to ensure Ariel knew she could not afford to offend her. “Miss Young, we don’t know each other at all and there’s nothing much we can talk about. Please move out of my way. I’m on the wa
