“You have no idea how many years Old Madam Young has been yearning to have another great-grandson. She’s actually been hankering for one. Old Madam Young was so delighted at your pregnancy that she said a prayer of thanks to God once she got home. Up until now, she’s still rejoicing in the happiness of it all. Even after having stayed by Old Madam Young’s side for years, I’ve never seen her this happy.” Of course, Suzy was aware of how happy Old Madam Young was. She kept quiet for a while before she spoke, “Since Old Madam Young is fond of kids, why didn’t Brother Young get married earlier and give her a great-grandson?” “It’s a long story.” Mrs. Carlson sighed. “Considering that you just came, you probably don’t know what happened to Master, do you?”Suzy nodded. Mrs. Carlson then told her about Sean and Christina. It was only then she finally knew the ups and downs that Sean encountered in his love life. She had heard from Sean a bit about his fiancée earlier, but all she knew
Sophia was relieved to have dealt with Benedict and Yvonne. She was planning to hide somewhere outside with Davis for some time and snoop on the situation for fear that things would be exposed. Michael had been keeping a watchful eye on all their movements. If he found out that they were going to run off, he would immediately order Logan to take action.Mary’s beauty salon was forced to close down that day because someone reported that groups of people were engaged in prostitution in the store. The money kept in the store and bank had all been seized as the outcome of the investigation had yet to be determined.Ever since Davis and his sister’s investment failed, the beauty salon became their only source of income. Without money, they could not survive either.Sophia swiftly left the place, but Davis could not leave at this point as his sister had been sent to jail. He needed to save his sister from jail.These days, the slogan for the well-known project in the city had been so
Christina was anxious deep down. Nevertheless, she had no choice but to wait for the outcome of the emergency treatment. Christina comforted Miss Laura while holding her hand. “John will be fine!” Even so, how could Christina feel relieved? The person undergoing emergency treatment right now was her father. After all, she could not erase her relationship with him as blood was thicker than water.The door of the emergency room was finally open. When the doctor came out, Christina immediately approached him. “How’s his condition?”“He has terminal stomach cancer,” the doctor answered.“How’s that possible?” Christina stared at the doctor, thinking that she heard it wrong. “Could it be a mistake?”“No. Mayor John has long since known about his stomach cancer, but he has been hiding it from his family. He refused to undergo surgery and kept going through conservative therapy instead. Now…”The doctor sighed. “It’s high time he had surgery. Considering Mayor John’s old age, the surge
Upon gesturing for Michael to sit down, John turned his gaze to Christina. “Christina, please go out with Miss Laura first. I have something to tell Michael.”Christina stood up and walked out with Miss Laura. After the door was closed, John let out a long sigh. “I don’t have much time left.”“Just focus on getting well. You’ll recover with the treatment offered by the doctor.” Michael comforted him. “I’m well aware of my health. I called you over today to tell you something.” John sighed heavily. “I’ll soon be held in detention!”“What are you saying?” Michael was shocked. “When is this going to happen?” “I haven’t been officially informed about it, but it’s probably going to happen soon. I called you over to make arrangements for my affairs later on.” John had mixed feelings when he looked at Michael. “I’m counting on you to look after Christina. I hope you’ll treat her well.”“You can rest assured that I’ll treat her well,” Michael promised. “I don’t think your matter is tha
As Winona did not believe him, Tommy brought over two of his previous cellmates who had gotten out of jail a few months earlier than him to Winona’s house.Seeing these people who had been in jail, Winona was even more intimidated as they had committed crimes. She was worried that they would actually call the police once something happened to Tommy. In that case, she would be in big trouble.Having learned his mistakes, Tommy had become clever.He was currently more alert after knowing that it was his cousin, Sophia, and Winona who plotted against him back then. This time, he came back to take revenge. He could not let those b*tchy women trick him again. Dissatisfied, Winona could not resign herself to this situation by allowing Tommy, that villain, to boss her around. Therefore, she began to secretly contact some people who were connected to the underground scene in an attempt to make Tommy disappear without anyone knowing it.As long as she was careful enough not to leave any t
Christina’s heart sank when she realized what was going on. Did John really run into serious trouble? She stood frozen to the spot, her thoughts in a whirl. John, who then caught sight of Christina, felt that having his daughter see him getting arrested by the police was a total humiliation. He would rather die than let his daughter watch this scene.However, he could not escape from the situation at all. Deep down, he was depressed by Christina’s shocked gaze. He forced open his dry lips and uttered, “Christina”.“Dad!” Christina said while sobbing.“Christina!” John’s voice was filled with guilt and remorse. He looked at Christina, saying, “Christina, I’m sorry for embarrassing you like this!”He stumbled past Christina upon saying that. The sight of his slightly hunched body made Christina’s hot tears trickle down.Amid her tears, John’s figure was getting blurry. It took Christina a while before she came back to her senses. The moment she regained her senses, she quickly sta
Serena glanced sideways at Tommy who was of medium height with tanned skin. He was a pretty scrawny man whose creepy face made him look like an evil person.Considering that Winona had always mingled with people of high status, Serena wondered when she became acquainted with such a creepy-looking tramp. Showing no interest in Tommy, she snorted. “Uncle? Sir, don’t randomly acknowledge yourself as my relative.” “Really, I’m your uncle. Your mom is my cousin,” Tommy explained his relationship with Sophia to Serena. Having spent quite a considerable amount of time in Hoover Alley, Serena could instantly see what kind of a person Tommy was. He had to be a hooligan in Hoover Alley. She then impatiently interrupted his words, “But I’ve never heard this from my mom.”She raised her voice to call Winona. “I’m hungry, Aunty Winona. Can you hurry up?”“It’s ready.” Winona cheerfully brought the food out. As it was her first time preparing a meal for her daughter, Winona was both happy and
After having a plan in mind, Serena began to approach Tommy with an ulterior motive.“Uncle Tommy, I didn’t recognize you as I was too young to remember what happened back then. I’m sorry about that. Let me treat you to a meal, okay?”Of course, Tommy was more than happy to accept the offer as Serena sounded sincere. Moreover, she was going to bring him to a large and high-end restaurant.Having been tricked by Sophia previously, Tommy was aware of Sophia’s cruelty. Little did he realize that the innocent-looking woman in front of him was actually a cruel person as well.Very soon, Tommy had forgotten how Serena initially treated him with indifference and disdain. He began to see her as a kind woman now.Upon noticing this, Serena treated Tommy more pleasantly to make him feel flattered.Up until now, Tommy had completely dropped his guard in front of Serena. On this day, Serena deliberately took him to the place near Christina’s house and ambled around the area. Coincidentally
