Old Madam Young nodded. “I guess that’s the only way now. Send her away and let’s see how she could harm anyone anymore!” Then, Old Madam Young suddenly thought of Suzy’s pregnancy. “Oh, I almost forgot! Suzy is pregnant!” “What?!” Sean was shocked. Suzy actually got pregnant during such a sensitive timing. It was obvious that getting pregnant was also part of her plan. Sean was too careless and now Suzy had the upper hand. Old Madam Young regretted her previous actions. “I knew it. Why would she agree to give birth to your child without having a title? That was her plan all along! We can’t just let her off like this! We must make her drop the baby and then send her away.” “Okay. Let’s go with it.” Old Madam Young was very furious. She treated Suzy with care and love for so long only to realize that Suzy was lying to her. All the love and sympathy she had for Suzy disappeared in an instant. It has been a while since Suzy saw Sean too, so she was happy when she found out t
“Suzy is an important witness. Winona didn’t get to her last time, so I suspect that woman is on to Suzy again. Keep an eye on her, don’t let anything happen to her.” Sean was shocked. He immediately hung up the phone and went looking for Suzy but Suzy was not in her room. He then asked the servants who failed to give him an answer as well. Eventually, the guard told him that Suzy ran out of the manor while covering her face. Sean quickly ordered everyone to look for her, but Suzy was nowhere to be found. He told the guard to show him the security footage and found out that Suzy was abducted. Sean told the police the number plate of the abductor’s car so that the police could start searching for her. Ninth Brother drove off after he knocked Suzy out. He originally wanted to kill Suzy but he could not bear to do so now that he had knocked her unconscious. Seeing how beautiful Suzy looked while she was unconscious aroused the desire in Ninth Brother. Killing such a beautiful wo
Serena made a lot of enemies in the past, and one of them was her old lackey, Wendy. Back then, Wendy did everything Serena said just to earn a little more and at the same time, used Serena’s reputation to boost herself. However, as Serena’s actions got worse, not only did Serena use Wendy as a scapegoat, but Serena even failed to deliver her promises. Wendy was locked up because of Serena. Since she was not compensated at all, she started to leak information about Serena’s dark history, slandering her old boss. With Serena delivering two black babies in the hospital this time, whose lineage was questionable, Wendy ought to seize the chance to further her attack. It was part of human nature to hit a man at his lowest. Rumor had it that Sophia died in an accident and since John had not shown himself in public for a while now, something must have happened. At this point, Serena had lost all her backup. She had lost her prestigious position and it was the best time for Wendy t
Davis was shocked. He quickly slammed the door shut, ran back into the house, and said to Sophia, “This is not good. It’s Tommy!” Sophia did not believe it at first. “He’s in jail, how is he here? Did you recognize wrongly?” “No!” Davis was sure. “He said he’s here for his cousin, Sophia.” “But how did he find out that I’m living here?” Sophia and Davis hid well enough as not even John knew where they were, yet Tommy, someone who had just gotten out of jail and was unfamiliar with the city, found her easily. “Only Winona knows that we are here. Could it be that she sent Tommy over?” Davis speculated. “Maybe Winona was his contact back then” Knock knock knock. The knockings happened again. Now was not the time for chit-chats. “Let’s just open the door, we improvise,” Sophia said. “Okay.” Davis brought Tommy into the house. “I’m sorry, I thought you were some salesman trying to trick us. I didn’t think it was really you. When did you come out?” Tommy sat down after be
“Serena gave birth? Why didn’t Winona inform me?” Sophia was confused. Serena’s delivery was such an important matter, Winona should have called her to notify her. She still did not know that Winona had been busy all night and had no time to rest all, let alone call her. “What about the babies? Are they safe?” “They are safe,” Tommy said. “Thank goodness. It’s good that they are safe.” Sophia sighed a breath of relief before she added, “How’s Serena?” “Didn’t you see the news?” Tommy sighed. “Serena is not good. She’s at her worse to be exact. Sophia, I think it’s better for you to visit her.” “Not good? What do you mean?” A mother and daughter shared a special connection. Sophia’s heart skipped a beat when she heard Tommy telling her Serena was having a difficult time. “It was a premature delivery but the babies are safe. However, the babies turned out to be of foreign descent and Serena lost a lot of blood during delivery.” Sophia was stunned. ‘What does he mean by fo
Sophia sat beside her sleeping daughter. Looking at Serena’s pale face broke her heart. “How long has she been asleep? When will she wake up?” “She woke up in the morning but she’s still very unstable. She has been crying and making a fuss, so I had her sedated. She’ll wake up soon enough.” Sophia was relieved to learn that her daughter was fine for the time being. Then, she recalled what Tommy said earlier. “Winona, where are the babies? Are they fine?” Sophia barely believed Tommy but how could Serena possibly give birth to two foreign babies? “The babies are safe but…” Winona sounded hesitant. She did not know how to break it to Sophia. Throughout her career as a doctor, she had never seen something this bizarre before. Both the father and mother were handsome and beautiful white people, so how could they give birth to such strange children? Even if it was some kind of genetic mutation, it should not have altered the descent like this. She could not wrap her head aroun
“Serena Garcia is really a shameless woman. She hooked up with a black man yet still wanted to frame another man. Shameless! She gets all the fun while someone else takes the responsibilities!” “That Michael Larson is not an idiot as well. Even if Serena Garcia did not give birth to a pair of black monsters, he would probably take a DNA test! It’s not that easy trying to find a man that stupid to be the father!” Sophia was enraged when she heard the comments. Those gossipers had no right to defame her daughter, she ought to reason with them but Winona pulled her back. “What are you doing? Are you trying to make things worse? Don’t forget who you are now!” Sophia stopped in her steps. She was practically a dead person and a dead person in the hospital would surely attract attention. It was people’s right to say whatever they wanted, so she could not and had no right to stop them either. She glared at the few men viciously before she returned to Serena’s ward with Winona. “Wh
Winona then thought about it and realized that Serena’s doctor was assigned by her at the very last minute. On top of that, she was waiting outside the operating room the entire time, so the chances of swapping out the babies were slim. “Let’s just perform a DNA test for the babies. If they aren’t Serena’s babies, we’ll go to Michael.” Both Sophia and Serena agreed and Winona was in charge of the DNA test. Since Sophia could not stay for long, she talked to her daughter for a little longer before she left. Sophia hailed a cab and on the way home, she heard the radio talking about Serena. The newscaster seemed to be ridiculing Serena for giving birth to two black babies. “What a coincidence that Mayor Garcia is being detained and his daughter gave birth to black twins. Like father, like daughter I’d say.” “With such a dishonest father, it is bound to lead his daughter to a troubled private life. Not only did she hook up with a foreigner, but she even tried to make someone else
In fact, Matthew was the one who planned this entire thing. He had been keeping a close eye on Rachel since she returned.He could let bygones be bygones if she was willing to settle down. However, the woman did not learn from past mistakes and once again partnered up with Serena to plot against Christina.Matthew went along with their plan. He even found someone to set this up to lure them into the trap.Christina’s due date was approaching after Rachel and Serena were taken care of. Michael began making preparations for Travis’ transplant operation.He hired the best hematologist and gynecologist before arranging for both Christina and Travis’ operation to take place in the same hospital.The delivery went smoothly. Christina gave birth to a baby girl, and Heather was over the moon.Everything had gone well, and it was about time to start on Travis’ operation. Christina was accompanied by Matthew and Rachel whereas Heather stayed close by the baby’s side. Michael comforted Chri
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. The latter’s belly was round, and both of her hands were
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. However, without anyone to depend on, she had no choice but to give into Scarface’s tyrannical abuse.Several times later, he found himself attracted to her. 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
