Now that Madam Parker had verified what happened back then, the truth was finally out. Christina was the daughter of the wife who had been driven to her death and was even chased out of her home!Heather sat on the sofa, baffled by what she had just learned. Her chest felt so tight that she found it hard to breathe.Back then, Heather’s father had an affair with another woman and this caused her mother to die out of sadness. Heather’s fate was better than her mother’s as she married into the Larson family and had a husband who loved her deeply.She went through so much because of that mistress and now that she thought about it, Christina was actually going through the same thing. They were both victims of a ruined family. Christina was even more pitiful than she was. She was in love with her son, yet Heather was such an evil mother-in-law who tore both of them apart.Moreover, she was also prepared to let Christina’s sworn enemy, Serena, be wedded into the Larson family. At this
“You also said that Wendy has a bad reputation. Perhaps she was just defaming Serena on purpose in return for money?”“What’s wrong with you today, Heather? Why do you keep siding with the mistress?” Madam Parker wondered. “What’s Serena’s identity? She’s the mayor’s daughter! Even if Wendy had balls of steel, she would never defame a mayor’s daughter! This means that it’s true!“I’m pretty sure you don’t know about the clip that has been circulating online since yesterday. In the short video, Serena could be seen screaming at a nurse in the hospital. Her language was filled with vulgarities and she didn’t even care about her reputation!”Heather felt her heart sink. She had seen the clip, and if Madam Parker knew about it, that meant a lot more people must have already seen it as well.However much she wanted to believe otherwise, she knew that flies were only attracted to rotten meat. Serena was not as simple-minded as she looked.Heather thought about how nice and trusting she
Wendy was not happy about the fact that she had been abandoned, so she stalked Serena every day. Eventually, having had enough of it, Serena started to threaten Wendy and her family members. She was determined to get Wendy off her back.Wendy felt very uncomfortable as she thought of all the things she had done and troubles she had gotten into for Serena over the years, and the idea of revenge popped up in her head.Just when she was at the lowest point of her life, a beautiful lady found her and paid her a handsome sum in return for her to expose what Serena had done. Wendy was initially afraid that Serena might take her revenge back on her and hence did not have the guts to do so. However, when she saw how much money she was offered, she changed her mind.Without Serena, Wendy could always find another rich family and leech off their riches. She could still be as respectable as she had been in the past.After Wendy had accepted the money, she followed this missus around and att
John let out a snort. “What menopause? You must’ve done something to offend her. Didn’t I tell you to watch what you’re saying when you socialize with the wives? Director Hitchcock is getting a promotion soon and we can’t afford to offend people like them now.”Sophia felt wronged when John reproached her but she did not dare to stand up for herself either. Sophia held in her anger until they got home, trying to find out why the wives had been ignoring her but she could not come up with an explanation.Heather felt like she was losing her mind at home for the past few days. Had she been living her life in nothing but lies and deception?Truth be told, she did not have a good first impression of Serena but changed her mind when her friend Winona praised how kind and beautiful Serena was. As the praises increased, Heather was soon indoctrinated by it and started to have a liking towards Serena.Although she liked Serena, Heather had never wanted her to end up with her son. That was u
Of course, Heather did not know the woman’s part in this incident. Treating Winona as her best friend, Heather was under the impression that they were both deceived by Serena, so she showed Winona the video she had just received“Look, I even received this before Madam Parker told me all this stuff.”Winona was taken aback by the video as she thought who on earth would plan to trick Serena? Despite feeling surprised, she did not betray it. Instead, she tried to explain the matter to Heather to keep her from doubting it.“Serena’s been feeling down after Christina hit her. According to the doctor, she might have been traumatized. Sophia also said that Serena has been acting out of character these days, often throwing a tantrum like a maniac. When Serena returned to normal, Sophia asked her what happened and Serena’s answer seemed like she was having hallucinations which are likely to happen only when she feels out of control.” ‘Hallucination and mania? Aren’t these characteristics
“Someone must have exposed it. Think of a solution to this issue now. If Heather finds out about other stuff, we’ll be in danger.”Sophia’s expression was frighteningly grim.Since someone had secretly exposed the dirt on Serena and even other affairs associated with her this time, immediate action was needed to solve this issue. “What’s the matter, Mom?” Serena was shocked to discover Sophia’s grim look.“Madam Parker visited Heather and said a lot of unpleasant remarks about us,” Sophia briefly explained the matter.Serena did not step out of the house all this while. She simply stayed at home to take care of the baby in her belly. All she hoped for was to gain power through her son so that she could successfully turn from a peasant into a princess.Upon receiving such news out of the blue, Serena panicked. “Mom, what should I do? You told me that everything would be alright as long as I please Heather, but she’s starting to hate me now. What should I do?” “Don’t panic. You’
Growing up in Hoover Alley, Sophia had close ties with the hooligans there. It was highly probable that the accomplice came from Hoover Alley.Therefore, Logan began to conduct an investigation into those hooligans who were close to Sophia, and he came across a serendipitous discovery on Hoover Alley. He had unexpectedly found Bill, the one who attended the matchmaking TV show and tried to kill Christina.Bill had committed quite a lot of crimes in the past, but none of those had prompted the police to keep such a close watch on him. Similar to an outcast, he had been hiding around without peace for a long time.The hooligan, who ordered Bill to settle the affair, had already gone abroad. With little money left, Bill thought that the best place to hide was in plain sight. So, he secretly returned to Hoover Alley with the plan to lurk there for some time until he managed to sort himself out.However, luck was not on his side when Logan spotted and recognized him despite his ragged a
Michael initially did not plan to tell Heather what had happened, but seeing that Heather had lost her senses, he flew into a rage. He then tossed the recorder, which consisted of Wendy’s remarks about Serena, to her.With a sneer, Michael told Heather that someone resented Wendy for telling the truth and consequently crippled her legs. He also added that Sophia had developed close ties with some hooligans in Hoover Alley before she married John, so he believed that Sophia had evil intentions. Heather was shocked to hear the recording, and only then did she understand that someone was trying to take revenge on Wendy. If Wendy’s words were false, Sophia and Serena could have sued Wendy to defend themselves, rather than plot against her. By the look of things, what Wendy said was indeed true. Not only were Sophia and Serene evil, but they also had connections with both good and evil sides. At this point, Heather hated Serena to the core.Loving someone did not require a reason, and
