The commotion at the front door woke Yvonne from her sleep, and she quickly put on her slippers to check what was going on. Seeing that her brother was punching Benedict furiously, she rushed forwards to stop him. “Stop hitting him, Darren!”

Darren unclenched his fists when he saw his younger sister. “Who’s this p*nk?”

“He’s my boyfriend!” Yvonne felt her heart ripped apart when she saw the bruises on Benedict’s face. As she ran forward to help him get up, she started to tell her brother off. “Why didn’t you ask before you hit him?”

Seeing that Yvonne obviously cared more about the sugar baby, Darren became rather annoyed. However, it was his first time meeting his sister after so many years, so he held back the complaints he had.

By now, Benedict was so bashed up that his face had started to swell. Yvonne was so focused on bandaging him up that she had totally forgotten about her brother’s return and ignored his presence.

This was his first time meeting his sister after being in

    How bewitched Yvonne was for her to be twirling around that sugar baby’s finger?Since he could not persuade his sister to leave him, Darren placed all the blame on Benedict instead, that bastard sugar baby. Darren was desperate to do whatever it took for his sister to forget that man.Just as Darren brainstormed on a plan to kill Benedict, Earl put his thoughts to a halt by telling him about Judy’s whereabouts. Word had it that Judy was a caretaker for the Larson family, and Darren’s eyes glinted when he heard the news.As the Larsons were no average family, Judy definitely would have earned a lot from that job. With that in mind, Darren had to force Judy to empty her savings before he demanded information about his son’s whereabouts from her.After much consideration, Darren headed to the Larson family and waited outside the gates. He had been expecting to see the driver and Judy but not Benedict.Benedict was too scared to go out after Darren had beaten him up, so he spent a fe

    “I’m going to starve to death if you refuse, Mom. Wasn’t it bad enough for you to abandon me when I was a kid? Why did you give birth to me if you want to watch me suffer?”Frustrated, Judy did not want to argue with her son anymore, so she placed all her money on the table. “These are all I have.”“That little?” Benedict was obviously not happy about it. By now, Judy was furious and annoyed. “I’ve only got a few hundred dollars on me. Take it or leave it.”After picking up the money, Benedict left. Judy then stood up too and headed out only to be stopped by a man at the door.Judy jumped in shock when she took a closer look at the man. “You… you got out?”Darren gave her the death glare. “Were you hoping for me to stay locked up for the rest of my life?”“Why would I?” Judy was so scared that she took a few steps back in fear. She knew how vicious Darren was, and he would never let her off the hook after she divorced him in secret and put their son up on adoption. The most d

    “Stop lying. I saw everything!” Darren Cain snorted.“You wretch. Look at yourself! Why would you look for such a young sugar baby anyway? Aren’t you afraid that God will punish you for doing this? Just give me my money, or I’ll break your legs today!”Although Judy was put in a tough spot, she knew that she could no longer hide the truth. “That isn’t my sugar baby. It’s your son, Benedict...”Judy eventually gave in and told Darren the truth about Benedict.Darren stood rooted to the ground when he realized that his sister’s sugar baby was his son.He did not believe his ears and asked Judy once again. On the other hand, Judy had no clue that Darren had already learned of Benedict’s relationship with Yvonne and repeated what she had said in confidence. Darren was completely shocked to his core. Not only did his son live with his sister, but Benedict had also gotten her pregnant! Even though it was bad, Darren thanked his lucky stars that Yvonne had that miscarriage because he c

    “You must be incredibly unlucky to get randomly bashed up then.” Mr. Wesley sighed.“I’ve already told President Larson about this, and he asked you to take care of yourself. He guaranteed to track down the man who had beaten you up and had already notified the cops about this. I’m pretty sure that the cops would find a lead so you shouldn’t worry too much about it.”Judy loathed Darren so much that she wanted to skin the b*stard alive. As much as she wanted to take her revenge, she knew that the timing to do so was not right.She still had no idea how to explain her relationship with Darren and did not want Michael to get involved yet. She already had enough on her plate, and things would be way worse if Michael found out about the truth.That was why she decided to let Darren off the hook. She had all the time in the world and could always take her revenge on him when she recovered.“I think that the person who attacked me was a psycho. Otherwise, why would a stranger hit me out

    Darren initially had no idea where he should run off to. Upon hearing Earl’s words, he might as well stay and watch how things developed. He planned to act only if Judy, that b*tch, called the police. “Stay home and don’t go anywhere in the next few days, Brother Cain. I’ll get the brothers to sniff around.”Left in dire straits, Darren did not expect that Earl would continue to stay by his side. “I’ll remember your generosity, Earl. I’ll return the favor in the future!”“Don’t mention it, Brother. As brothers, we’re supposed to help each other! Who knows I may commit a crime someday and need a favor from you?”Judy did not give Benedict a call over the past few days. She did not want him to know about her situation and more importantly, Darren’s presence.However, she could not endure the torture day after day. Ultimately, she allowed Benedict to visit her in the hospital.Benedict took a taxi to the hospital immediately upon knowing that his mother was injured and hospitalized

    “What are you bullsh*tting?” Judy was shocked, wondering how her son knew about it.“It was you who bribed the doctor, right? You’d better tell me the truth. Otherwise, I’m going to the Department of Women and Children to ask Winona and make a fuss about it.” “Are you out of your mind? Is it worth doing it for the sake of an old lady?” Judy panicked at the sight of her son’s behavior. “Son, if the woman was someone else, I wouldn’t have treated her this way. But Yvonne and you… just can’t be together!”“Yes, I’m out of my mind. Why would I have such a vicious mom?” Benedict raged at Judy.“After all, the child had a life. How could you be so cruel? I finally met a woman I was truly in love with, only to get such terrible treatment from you. Are you hoping that I won’t have any descendants?”“Son, I was left with no choice. You can’t have a relationship with Yvonne!” Judy restated. “Why can’t I have a relationship with Yvonne?” Benedict asked.Judy was not bold enough to tell h

    Feeling uneasy, Matthew called Sean to ask him why he was not back yet. Sean sighed and spoke hesitantly on the phone. “Matthew, I’m afraid I… I can’t return for the time being!”“Why?” Matthew was stunned. It really surprised him to see Sean, who had always been a gentleman, stammer all of a sudden.“Something happened, ugh! I feel too ashamed to see Christina again!”Sean’s words stunned Matthew even more. “What had actually happened?”“I’m too ashamed to say it!” Sean sighed. “Anyway, it’s not something great.”“We’ve been friends for years. Just tell me, and I’ll give you advice!”“Ugh!” Sean sighed heavily. “Matthew, I… I slept with another woman.”“Ah!”Matthew doubted if he heard it wrong, considering that Sean had always preserved his moral integrity and was never caught up in a scandal over the years. Since Sean had broached the subject, he did not plan to hide it anymore. What happened that night was absolutely incredible to him. At this point, he was still in a daz

    “What? You actually slept with a woman who’s unknown to you?” Matthew was shocked.Matthew knew that Sean always took relationships lightly, but little did he think that Sean’s affair was even more exciting than what he did. Well, never judge a man by his appearance!“Stop mocking me. Really, it was an accident!” Sean laughed bitterly, not knowing how he should face Christina anymore.Matthew thought the matter over and found it strange. “Sean, could it be a trick?”“I don’t think so. I was just in my own house. Who could’ve tricked me?”“You mentioned that you went downstairs to fetch some water in the middle of the night and that Jade happened to be in the living room. This situation itself is strange. Who would be awake in the middle of the night waiting for someone in the living room?” Since Matthew mentioned it, Sean felt that there was something fishy about the incident.Having said that, Jade was pure and innocent, and she could not possibly do such a thing. Perhaps it w

    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.

    “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

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.
