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
Christina had no idea why Heather’s attitude had changed all of a sudden. Even so, she could not possibly accept her request just like that.“Old Madam Larson, I’ll take good care of my child. As for reconciliation, it depends on fate, and Michael and I are no longer fated to be together.”Christina’s rejection made Heather feel worse for all she had done back then. “Michael can’t stop thinking about you, Christina. It’s my fault that I ruined your relationship. I’m begging you to forgive Michael.” To Christina’s great surprise, Heather actually humbled herself to beg her. After all, Heather was Christina’s senior, yet she still unexpectedly lowered her head willingly and apologized to Christina. “Let bygones be bygones, Old Madam Larson. I made mistakes too since I used to hit you in the past. I hope that you can forgive me too.”Christina spoke in an impersonal manner the entire time to give Heather no chance to get closer. Plainly, Christina was very alert to her. Heather
Michael left the house cheerfully. Looking at the smile on her son’s face, Heather suddenly realized that it was the first time in a few years that she saw such a cheery smile on his face. She sighed, wondering why she was so narrow-minded back then. If she had come around earlier, her son would not have lived in misery for so many years.Heather and Michael were in high spirits, while Judy began to feel nervous as Heather had become less reliant on her. Today, Heather went out without bringing her along, and as such, Judy did not know why she went out. Judy then wanted to find out the reason when Heather came back, but Michael happened to come back at that time too. She hid at one corner and eavesdropped on his conversation with Heather. Upon hearing that Heather had begged Christina to reconcile with Michael, Judy was worried for Serena. Judy was well aware of her purpose in staying at the Larson family’s house. She felt the need to inform Sophia about the issue so that she co
“But isn’t she pregnant with Michael’s child?” Winona reminded.“Speaking of the child, I have something to tell you. As you know, Michael has always disliked Serena. Whether or not she’s pregnant, he just isn’t fond of her. This time, Michael is determined to make her abort the child. It was very silly of me to warn him off earlier because now he’s afraid to do it.“Come to think of it now, the child will be an albatross. I already have two grandsons now, and what’s more, Christina can still get pregnant in the future so there’s still a possibility that I’ll get another grandson. Why would I need a vicious woman to give birth?“Serena has to abort the child in her belly as it would affect Michael and Christina’s relationship.”Winona did not expect such a drastic change in Heather’s attitude. She had run out of ideas at that instant. “But Serena isn’t well at this moment. She can’t abort the child, or she won’t be able to get pregnant again.” “That’s the thing.” Heather sighed.
Bill had been arrested and sent to the police station. Since it was John who personally inquired about the case earlier, the police sent him greetings on the phone and subsequently informed him about the arrest of the suspect. John met with Bill in the police station and listened to him during the interrogation. His brow furrowed as soon as he learned that the person who instructed Bill to kill Christina was Ninth Brother, a hooligan from Hoover Alley.Christina had never been to Hoover Alley, so there was no bad feeling between her and the people there. Why would Ninth Brother want to hurt her? Evidently, Ninth Brother had acted on someone’s instructions. The mastermind behind this incident had yet to be exposed.Since Michael was the one who had arrested Bill, John personally paid him a visit to get a better understanding of the situation. In the end, Michael casually answered, “Didn’t Bill already confess everything? It’s Ninth Brother.”“But there’s no bad feeling between Ni
Fortunately, Michael did not voice his assumption just now, or John would have become vigilant.After John left Michael’s office, he chewed over the matter along the way. He felt the need to investigate the issue as soon as possible to avoid the danger first. He had to keep the issue from being disclosed. Once he arrived home, he looked at Sophia with suspicion. His expression was filled with hostility. Throughout these years, Sophia was most capable of observing one’s expression. From John’s gaze, she could sense that danger was near. Sophia then asked the chauffeur, Benny, about John’s itinerary only to find out that Bill had been arrested and that John had personally interrogated Bill in the police station.Sophia instantly panicked. If Bill confessed everything, she would be dead.She felt uneasy as she recalled the way John looked at her. Could John be suspecting her already?Luckily she never had direct contact with Bill. Now that Ninth Brother had gone abroad, she was
“Do I need to discuss with you if I’ve managed to persuade her? I wonder which b*stard exposed all your doings back then. Heather hates mistresses most for interfering with other people’s marriage. She got even more furious after knowing that you were friends with Molly. She said outright that she won’t accept the daughter of a mistress into the family.”What fuelled Winona’s anger was that Heather even began to suspect her when she spoke up for Serena. After that, she was afraid to comment further. “Heather has always longed for a grandson. Now that Serena is pregnant with two children, how can she afford to give up on them? This is strange!”“I initially thought so too, but Heather said that Christina has already provided her a grandson and there’s another one in Christina’s belly. Two is enough for her, and what’s more, Christina can still get pregnant in the future.”The more Winona described, the more furious she became. “Anyway, Heather has taken to Christina now, and she’s
