A Complicated Romance Chapter 586
Benedict went to his mother and told her what he learned from Third Brother. “Mom, you said that Sophia wouldn’t trick us but look, she got her money back and left us to suffer this poor fate alone!”Judy was furious to learn about this but was aware of Sophia’s power and influence in the city. For fear that her son would go challenge the woman, she tried convincing him. “Sophia did me a favor in the past and I’ve been helping her out all these years. She wouldn’t do this to me. You shouldn’t believe those rumors.”“Mom, this has got to be the truth. Third Brother said many people already know about this. Sophia is heartless. She should’ve shared half of the six million dollars she acquired. Yet she kept everything for herself!”“Stop talking nonsense!” Judy glanced around to ensure no one was watching before reminding her son. “We can’t make wild guesses without proof. Let’s take a step back. We can’t demand money from her even if she really got it back. Her keeping quiet about it

Yvonne joined in opposition to the same adversary. “Exactly! Sophia is pushing it. No matter what, she has to share part of the money instead of keeping everything for herself!”Due to her new relationship with Benedict, it would probably benefit her too if he was given part of the money.“But too bad as I’m just a nobody. I can’t fight her.” He let out a sigh.She smirked. “If we can’t reason with her openly, then we can plot against her secretly in the dark. We might have a chance at winning this.”Yvonne learned recently that the infamous Mayoress Sophia was Nightingale from Hoover Alley. She grew up in the same place, hence the name was not unfamiliar to her.When she was younger, every man in Hoover Alley liked the woman named Nightingale. Crudely put, all of them wanted to sleep with her.Yvonne was envious of Nightingale back then. It did not matter what you did as long as you had the men’s attention. This was how one could live an easy life in those kinds of dodgy places.

The letter was directed to Sophia. John figured something was not right when only her name and nothing else was written on the envelope. He opened the letter.He almost coughed up blood after reading its content.At the same time, another letter was delivered. This time, the recipient’s name was not even written.He opened the envelope with a sullen face. Finally, he coughed up a significant amount of blood after reading the second letter and passed out.John came to in the end after being rushed to the hospital.He lay on the bed, stiff like a corpse. The man could not believe his eyes. Sophia was actually involved in Molly’s death. She was the one who took her life.John clenched his teeth in rage. He could not wait to rush home and rip Sophia apart to emancipate the hatred in his heart!However, he could not afford to act recklessly. His position as the mayor meant that every move he made would be scrutinized by many people. If an outsider learned that his first wife’s death

“Of course, I do,” Serena replied matter-of-factly. “She has only left for America for a few months. How did you get to know her?”Rachel made up a lie instead of revealing Suzy’s memory loss. “I accidentally bumped into her in the library last time. After a brief chat, I came to know that her name’s Suzy and she’s also from Perth.”Serena did not suspect anything. It was not impossible for Rachel to bump into Suzy. It was a small world after all.“So why did you send me a photo of her?” Serena questioned.“This… Um…” At a loss of what to say, Rachel cracked her head for an excuse. “It suddenly occurred to me that she looks a lot like Christina, so I sent the photo over to you.”“Ah, I see.” Serena believed her words. “Suzy does resemble Christina a lot. If I didn’t know them both to begin with, I would’ve suspected that they’re sisters.”Rachel played along. “That was my first thought too. I didn’t expect two non-related people would look so much like each other.”“It’s exactly

“What if Suzy decides to pursue Michael relentlessly? That’ll certainly affect my relationship with him. Besides, he has already fallen out with Christina, so there’s no need to create more issues.”Rachel tried hard to stop herself from shouting at the treacherous Serena. She spent all day trying to convince the latter but it was to no avail. Feeling impatient, she spoke more rudely.“Miss Garcia, I want to use Suzy to destroy Christina and Michael, not steal him away from you. What are you worried about? His love for Christina is unusually deep, hence it’s highly likely for the ashes of their passion to burn once more. Besides, what if Heather comes out of the coma? You’re too naive.”Serena was shocked upon hearing that. Indeed, she was also worried that Heather might regain consciousness. When that happened, Michael would learn that the devil was not Christina but Winona and Sophia.When that happened, he would not blame Christina anymore and instead be incensed at Serena. This

Back then, Winona told Sophia the reason she sent Suzy abroad was to prevent the latter from exposing their evil plan of setting up Michael and Serena.Sophia would not have figured out that Winona thought Serena was her birth daughter and Suzy Sophia’s. Winona only had the motive to murder Suzy for fear of the fact that she exchanged the babies at birth all those years ago would be discovered. Serena replied, “I didn’t expect that too but it’s not necessarily a bad thing. Rachel’s also planning to bring down Christina. It would save us some troubles with her over there influencing Suzy to continue helping us.”A frown formed between Sophia’s brows. “Can we trust Rachel? I can’t help but be worried as she’s Sean’s sister after all. What if she tells him about this and he passes it on to Christina?”“Mom, don’t worry about that. Rachel’s Matthew fiancée, you wouldn’t know how much she hates Christina.”Sophia agreed after a brief consideration. “You’ve got a point. Indeed, we need

The driver led Sophia into the villa, and only upon seeing Miss Laura standing in the living room was she relieved.The latter greeted her. “Madam, Mayor is in the study room.”Sophia nodded before heading upstairs to the study. John was sitting by the desk, staring right in the direction of the door with a stern expression.She tried to calm down before stepping forward. “Johnny, you should have a lie down if you’re not feeling well. Let me help you to the bedroom.”“No, I can’t rest well either way.”“Is something troubling you? Has something gone wrong at work?” She came over to rub his shoulders.He suddenly turned around to look at her face. “Sophia, how long have we known each other?”She did not know what he was getting at. “Probably over twenty years.”He nodded, looking as if he was deep in thoughts. “Yes, it’s been over twenty years since I impulsively got into your bed. I’ve always been a disciplined man but why would I lose control on that particular night?”The wo

John was terrorized at that time because he was afraid that he could not hold his position as the mayor, and thus, he chose to keep it to himself.John had kept the murderer of his wife beside him for decades, and he even mistook Sophia as a good wife and mother. How ridiculous.He then took out a letter from the drawer and read it thoroughly. After that, he lifted his head and asked, “Molly has passed away for so many years. Have you ever felt sorry for her?”“Of course, I do.” Sophia’s heart trembled, but she quickly concealed her emotions. “I know the things that happened between us had let Molly down. I’ve felt guilty all these years, but we cannot save what has already happened. John, we need to look forward and live our life.”“Your only guilt is that you had sex with me back then?” His gaze was sharp. “Don’t tell me there are no other things that you feel guilty of?”Sophia realized something had gone wrong. “John, you… I don’t get your point?”“You don’t get me?

Besides, even if the plan failed, intentionally causing a pregnant woman to miscarry was not considered homicide by the country’s criminal law. The punishment was less serious as the behavior would be categorized as an assault occasioning bodily harm.Assault and criminal homicide were two completely different crimes.Rachel agreed to the suggestion. Scarface was indeed a ruthless man. He came up with this vicious revenge that would put Christina in pain forever.Upon agreeing on the details of the plan, Scarface and his friends from the streets proceeded to kidnap Christina. Rachel and Serena were told to sit tight and wait for the good news.Scarface had a well-thought-out plan and got his hands on Christina before long. Her head was covered with a black cloth as they forcefully pushed her into the van.Serena and Rachel were already at the agreed-upon location when Scarface instructed Christina to step out of the vehicle.

Serena lost everything. She had no choice but to work as a bargirl to survive.Scarface was the person in charge of the bar she worked at. The ruthless man had pretty much slept with every woman who worked at his place. Naturally, Serena could not escape from that fate either.Serena was different from other bargirls. She came from a prestigious family and was highly educated. Even in dire straits, she still maintained a certain grace that made her stand out from the crowd.Scarface spotted her on her first day at the bar. He ordered his men to drag her into the private room and tortured her the entire night.She resisted in the beginning.

Every night, he would ask for her instead of other women.Serena, who could not escape from him, gave in eventually. She even ended up becoming his lover.By doing so, she found someone t

“Just a little while ago.” Sean came closer. “Christina, we need to talk.”She nodded and followed him to the garden. He helped her to get comfortable on the bench. “Do you believe in fate?”She shook her head, unsure where this was leading. “I didn’t either as I’m a firm believer that hard work always pays off. But now I do.”He looked her in the eye. “I’ve been lost and struggled a lot since that incident, unsure how to face you. After considering this seriously for the past few days, I’ve finally mustered enough courage to meet you again.”A sigh escaped her lips. “Sorry, Sean. It’s all my fault.”“No! It has nothing to do with you, Christina. It’s my fault that my love is not strong enough. I discovered that Suzy is really great after spending the past few months with her. She’s just like you. She’s gentle, kind, pure, and adorable. I realized I’ve fallen in love with her.”This was not what he really thought.He loved Christina since the beginning of time and believed he

“That’s old history. We think Michael is actually pretty good.”“We? Who do you mean?” Christina teased.Ariel and Matthew had been spending a lot of time together lately. Christina went through that herself and understood the passion in her friend’s eyes. This silly girl was actually in love. She could not be happier for her.“Who else? Matthew, of course!” Ariel glared at Christina.“I say whatever’s on my mind, unlike you, who always keep everything to yourself and get stuck in dilemmas. Every good opportunity slips past you because of your indecisiveness!” “How can I not be? I promised to marry him but I’m now trying to convince him to marry someone else. Is this really the best thing for him? Will he be happy?”Ariel questioned after a brief silence, “Christina, let me ask you this. Who do you care for more? Michael or Sean?”Christina asked herself the same question too. She naturally cared more about Michael in the past, but she also started to develop a strong feeling f

The following morning, Serena hurried to the police station to file a report.The police treated this with high importance and warned her to be careful of Darren Cain as he was a vicious gang member who had served over a decade in prison.She became more frightened after hearing that. Immediately, she moved out of that house and rented a place somewhere quiet. As she was terrified, she stayed indoors for the next few days.Much of Christina’s stress was relieved without having to deal with Serena’s pestering.“Christina, John was at the last stage of cancer. It was lucky enough that he lasted until he did. This is his fate, so try not to get too upset.” Francis comforted the dispirited woman. It did not make any difference even though he was not the real Francis. He had long adapted to the identity after assuming it for so many years. Most importantly, Christina was still willing to treat him like a real uncle even after finding out the truth.“Don’t worry, Uncle, I’m fine.”

The harassment continued after the funeral. Serena went around spreading accusations and threatened Christina to give her money. Otherwise, she would report John to the Australian Securities and Investments Commission for private corruption.If reported, the antique art collection would be seized and no one could get it!Christina became more frustrated after hearing that.She never expected John’s leniency toward Serena would cause her such a big problem. Matthew was infuriated by Serena’s unreasonable behavior. He suggested they could shut the woman up by teaching her a lesson. Sean shook his head. “That’s not going to solve the problem. Serena must’ve come prepared if she dares to stir up trouble. This is a lawful society. We can’t do as we wish.”“Are we actually going to pay her off then?” Ariel asked, “I think giving her money isn’t going to put an end to this. She’s certainly going to keep threatening for more!”Michael scoffed. “Why should we give her money? She can go

“I will, Dad, don’t worry. I’ll listen to Sister,” Suzy replied.“Christina.” John grabbed Christina’s hand in his own. “My greatest regret in this life is failing to take good care of you and your mother. I’m going to meet your mother soon. I hope she’ll forgive me!”Tears rolled down Christina’s cheeks. Men would speak kindly in the presence of death. She was unsure if Molly would forgive him, but she had long forgiven her father.He strained to pull Suzy and Christina’s hands closer together as he looked at them with pleading eyes. “The both of you must live peacefully together. Suzy, listen to your sister, and Christina, you must take good care of her on my behalf.”Christina looked at Suzy before nodding quietly. Then, John shifted his glance to Michael.“I’ve done many wrongs in this life. I betrayed my wife and disappointed my daughter. I hope you’ll do better than me. I’ll hand over Christina to you now. I’ll come back to haunt you as a stubborn ghost if you dare to wr

Suzy felt guilt-ridden and knew she was not in the position to demand anything from Christina. However, her mother had gone mad. She did not wish to see Christina continuing the fight with her mother.At a loss for what to do, she cried her heart out while in Christina’s arms.Sean felt a heavy feeling in his chest. He knew Christina too well after all the years they spent together. She was a soft-hearted person behind her stubborn facade. Seeing others in sorrow was her greatest weakness.There was no doubt she would choose to forgive Suzy and accept her as her sister.If that was the case, then the marriage between them was destined to fail. Christina would reject him for the sake of the child in her sister’s belly.At this moment, he was thinking of how everything was falling apart at this moment even after he had consistently pursued her all these years. He stood there in a daze for a long time before finally heaving a sigh.Perhaps this was their destiny. Suzy cried for a
