โJess, youโve suffered so much! Iโm so sorry!โ Henry said affectionately. Winona almost screamed as a result. That was not how it was supposed to be? How could this happen? Matthew looked at Winona coldly. โMy mother hasnโt seen my father for so many years. They have so much to tell each other. Isnโt it inappropriate for you to remain here?โ He wanted to chase her away. Winona tried to control her anger. โWhy should I go? This is my house.โ โYouโve got it all wrong, Doctor Harris!โ Matthew sneered. โMy father used his own money to buy this house. It seems as if you have nothing to do with it, right?โ โIโฆโ Winonaโs face reddened. This house indeed belonged to Henry. She had nothing to do with it. She looked at Henry to ask for help. However, Henry would not even spare her another glance. He then went to talk with Jess in his sculpting room. โDo you want me to throw you out of here, or do you want to leave on your own?โ Matthew looked at Winona coldly. Winona was then chase

Henryโs words had left Winona with no room for rebuttal. She came to her senses after a while. โHowever, you should discuss it with me. We have been living with each other for so many yearsโฆโ โI had said it very clearly. I only took you in and allowed you to stay at my house because I was on bad terms with my family throughout these years. Shouldnโt you be aware of your position by now?โ Winona got agitated. โYou have already reconciled with Jess? Henry Henderson, did you forget that my sister died because of her? How could you betray my sister?โ โYour sister married another man, and I married another woman. We could only blame our fate for this outcome. Now, I have already reconciled with my wife. As such, I should give her my undivided attention. As an outsider, you donโt have the right to say anything.โ Henry spoke slowly as his words were ruthless. Winona hated him to death. โHenry, how could you forget about my sister and start a relationship with another woman?โ Winona

Benedict dared not to say that his mother was Judy Lovell and that she was a servant for Michaelโs house. He just gave a general explanation that his mother was against him dating Yvonne. He did not expect that his mother would drug Yvonne when he disobeyed her. Thus, Yvonne almost lost her life as she lost a lot of blood due to her miscarriage. He also said that his mother was afraid that he might know about the truth. As such, she bribed the doctors as well. If Benedict did not coincidentally hear other people discussing the issue, he would not have known about it at all. โCould it be a mistake? How could your mother harm your own child?โ Timothy was in disbelief. โMaybe someone else instigated her to do it?โ โShe has already admitted that she is the culprit.โ Benedict shook his head. โFurthermore, who else would instigate her to do it?โ โItโs hard to say. Maybe your mother looked for a friend to complain about this issue. Then, that person came up with this evil plan,โ Timot

โYou have nothing to do with this? Do you think I'm a three-year-old?โ Benedict suddenly raised his voice. โKeep your voice down. I have nothing to do with this. On that day, your mother came to look for me so that I could help her hide the truth.โ โDonโt give me that! My mom isnโt a wicked witch like you. You've hurt Heather and Michael, so you must be evil. You are the one who made my mother do it!โ Benedict refused to listen to Winona. โNow my wife is in her current state because of you. My child is also dead. I want my goddamn compensation! Otherwise, I will spread the incident for the whole world to know. Everyone shall know what kind of crap you are!โ Winona knew that Benedict was blackmailing her just by looking at him. She secretly loathed him on the inside. How did Judy raise such an impudent child? However, Winona dared not to get on Benedictโs bad side. As the saying went, a beggar can never go bankrupt. Benedict was nothing more than a rascal. He had nothing to hi
A Complicated Romanceย ย ย Chapter 628
Winona also thought about the same thing. Benedict was too big of a threat to her. She could not allow him to exist any longer. โI came here to discuss the solution to this issue with you.โ โThe wage of avarice is death. Benedict first came to blackmail me. Now, he has plans for you too. In the end, he wouldnโt even know how he died!โ Sophia said fiercely. She already had the intention to kill him. After the three of them discussed the issue, they decided to give Benedict the money that he had requested. That way, they can trick him to come out. After that, they would find an opportunity to get rid of him once and for all. Winona guaranteed that she would give him the money. As such, Benedict was exceptionally glad. Why did he need to search everywhere for a job if he knew that he could earn two hundred thousand dollars that easily in the beginning? Benedict still did not know that Winona went to look for Sophia to discuss how to get rid of him. At night, he received a phon

Benedict tried to stand up when he saw Sophia, but he realized that he was being tied up. As such, he could not move at all. He looked at Sophia vigilantly. โWhat are you trying to do?โ โAre you asking me what I am trying to do?โ Sophia laughed at Benedict sinisterly. โDonโt you feel uneasy when you see me like this?โ โHow did you end up in this state?โ Benedict asked. โYou still have the gall to ask me how I became like this? Isnโt it all thanks to you that I ended up like this?โ Sophia glanced at Benedict fiercely. โYou damn mongrel, how dare you send an anonymous letter to threaten me. I ended up in this state because of you. I must skin you alive today.โ Benedict was frightened after he saw the murderous glint in Sophiaโs eyes. โI didnโt do it. Madam Garcia, this is all a misunderstanding!โ โI will immediately get to see whether I have misunderstood you right now.โ Sophia sneered. โSoon, they will bring that lowlife, Yvonne, to this place. Iโll see how the two of you wi
A Complicated Romanceย ย ย Chapter 630
โI wrote the anonymous letter. Benedict had nothing to do with it!โ Yvonne shifted all of the blame to herself. She hoped that Sophia would let Benedict go. However, Yvonne did not know that Sophia already had the intention to kill them both. She assumed that Sophia and Winona only wanted them to suffer for a while. โI just knew that you were the one who did it, you lowlife!โ Sophia began to slap Yvonneโs face multiple times. โI am not your enemy, so why would you do this to me?โ John broke Sophiaโs legs and sent her to the asylum because of that scumbag, Yvonne. If Winona did not save Sophia, she would have to live in the asylum for the rest of her life. Sophia thought of the inhumane tortures in the asylum. She also thought of her disfigured face and her broken legs. How could Sophia not hate Yvonne? She then began to slap Yvonne even harder. Benedict felt bad as he watched from the side. โI wrote the anonymous letter. Sophia, come at me if you want to!โ โMongrel, Iโll sa
A Complicated Romanceย ย ย Chapter 631
Upon hearing the truth, Benedict and Yvonne were dumbstruck and frozen to the spot. They thought that they had found true love, but they did not expect that God would play a joke on them. Who would have guessed that their relationship was an incestuous one between an aunt and her nephew? Sophia was worried that more problems would appear the longer they kept on delaying. She urged, saying, โLetโs not wait any longer. The day will break soon, so letโs do what we need to do first!โ โAlright!โ Winona nodded. Sophia grabbed a shovel and walked toward Benedict and Yvonne. She had a fierce gaze as she said, โLook what you've done to me, you pair of dogs! Iโll let you have a taste of an experience worse than death!โ She then raised the shovel and hit the two of them with it. Sophia kept on hitting them until she ran out of strength. Both of them were tied up, so they could not evade the attacks. All they could do was scream, their yells growing louder with each hit. Davis ran in

Besides, even if the plan failed, intentionally causing a pregnant woman to miscarry was not considered homicide by the countryโs criminal law.

โJust a little while ago.โ Sean came closer. โChristina, we need to talk.โShe nodded and followed him to the garden. He helped her to get comfortable on the bench. โDo you believe in fate?โShe shook her head, unsure where this was leading. โI didnโt either as Iโm a firm believer that hard work always pays off. But now I do.โHe looked her in the eye. โIโve been lost and struggled a lot since that incident, unsure how to face you. After considering this seriously for the past few days, Iโve finally mustered enough courage to meet you again.โA sigh escaped her lips. โSorry, Sean. Itโs all my fault.โโNo! It has nothing to do with you, Christina. Itโs my fault that my love is not strong enough. I discovered that Suzy is really great after spending the past few months with her. Sheโs just like you. Sheโs gentle, kind, pure, and adorable. I realized Iโve fallen in love with her.โThis was not what he really thought.He loved Christina since the beginning of time and believed he

โThatโs old history. We think Michael is actually pretty good.โโWe? Who do you mean?โ 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 friendโs eyes. This silly girl was actually in love. She could not be happier for her.โWho else? Matthew, of course!โ Ariel glared at Christina.โI say whateverโs 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!โ โHow can I not be? I promised to marry him but Iโm now trying to convince him to marry someone else. Is this really the best thing for him? Will he be happy?โAriel questioned after a brief silence, โChristina, let me ask you this. Who do you care for more? Michael or Sean?โChristina 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

Matthew was infuriated by Serenaโs unreasonable behavior. He suggested they could shut the woman up by teaching her a lesson. Sean shook his head. โThatโs not going to solve the problem. Serena mustโve come prepared if she dares to stir up trouble. This is a lawful society. We canโt do as we wish.โโAre we actually going to pay her off then?โ Ariel asked, โI think giving her money isnโt going to put an end to this. Sheโs certainly going to keep threatening for more!โMichael scoffed. โWhy should we give her money? She can go

โI will, Dad, donโt worry. Iโll listen to Sister,โ Suzy replied.โChristina.โ John grabbed Christinaโs hand in his own. โMy greatest regret in this life is failing to take good care of you and your mother. Iโm going to meet your mother soon. I hope sheโll forgive me!โTears rolled down Christinaโs 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 Christinaโs hands closer together as he looked at them with pleading eyes. โThe both of you must live peacefully together. Suzy, listen to your sister, and Christina, you must take good care of her on my behalf.โChristina looked at Suzy before nodding quietly. Then, John shifted his glance to Michael.โIโve done many wrongs in this life. I betrayed my wife and disappointed my daughter. I hope youโll do better than me. Iโll hand over Christina to you now.
