When Winona went to work, she realized that the doctors and nurses looked at her differently but she was not overly bothered. She continued her daily routine of making soup that could help with Serena’s postpartum healing and brought it to Serena’s ward. “Serena, drink it while it’s hot.” She poured the soup out of the container for Serena who took a sip, but her curiosity got the best of her. She did not believe the woman in the video was Winona. She rather believed someone had Deepfaked Winona’s face into the video. “Aunt Winona, did you make someone angry? Why are people doing this to you?” “What do you mean?” Winona asked. “Look at this.” Serena passed her phone to Winona. “Those shameless bastards. They used Deepfake your face into the video, you better sue them.” Winona was terrified when she saw the video. Other people may not know but she knew everything that happened in the video was real. Her hands shook as she deleted the video from Serena’s phone. This was obv
Winona was still worried despite that, so she quickly checked her online banking account. To her surprise, there was nothing left in the account. After looking through the transaction history did she find out that the money was actually transferred from her computer at home.Incensed, she reported it to the police so that they could help her get her money back, but they reacted indifferently to her complaint. Instead, she was told to wait patiently for more updates.Meanwhile, Logan instructed someone to deliver the audio recording of Winona and Sophia's argument to Darren. Both Darren and Judy were so enraged upon hearing its content and they swore to avenge the ones who were wronged. They planned to get rid of Sophia and Davis for good.At the same time, Sophia and Davis too received the obscene video clip of Winona. They were laughing happily when the doorbell rang. Sophia rose to her feet and walked to the door.She saw an unfamiliar man through the peephole. Instead of openi
Sophia was still trying to shift the blame despite the given situation. Judy was so furious that she went forward to kick the woman forcefully. “Sophia, you’re indeed heartless to kill my son after all I’ve done for you these years. You’re vicious!”No matter what, Judy would not let Sophia off the hook today. Her only son was unjustly murdered and ended with him was the family bloodline. Sophia the mean woman must accompany him to the afterworld too!“How dare you try to argue even in the face of death? Both you and Winona will not run free from this, not forgetting Davis. I must avenge my son.”Sophia, who was tied up, screamed hysterically in pain at Judy’s beating.However, no amount of beating could remove the hatred in Judy’s heart. She then snatched the bat from Darren’s hands to break Sophia’s other leg. The woman was covered in blood from head to toe.Davis was not treated differently either. Back in the days, Darren was already the gang leader in Hoover Alley when he w
“You’re Winona?” Darren glared at her murderously as if he intended to tear her apart into million pieces.Winona was terrified by the sudden attack. “We’re in public during the day. What are you two going to do?”“Avenge for my son, of course!” Judy revealed a fruit knife and shoved it into the woman’s stomach. “You heartless woman should accompany my son to the afterworld!”This knife was originally meant for killing Sophia, but it came in handy to get rid of Winona too.A pedestrian caught sight of this bloody exchange and immediately rang the police in fright. The security guards by the gate heard the commotion and hurried over right away.Unsatisfied, Judy stabbed the woman two more times.The security guards came up and got hold of both Darren and Judy. Winona, who was lying in a pool of blood, was already at her last gasp.She was rushed to the hospital urgently and she had managed to keep her life.However, the two people in the house were not blessed with the same luck
Winona gradually regained her strength after several days in the hospital. She tried to ring Serena, but the calls were never returned.Serena had no time to entertain the woman. The poor woman could hardly look after herself. The only thought that occupied her mind was to acquire money so she could return to living lavishly like before.She used to spend a lot of time drinking and fooling around in the past. Her love for ease and comfort and hatred for work also turned her into a person without ambition. Naturally, she would not look for a job to sustain herself.After contemplating for a long time, she decided to turn to John.Although all of John’s wealth was confiscated, she believed the man must have secretly stashed a pile of wealth somewhere.John was supposed to serve time in prison but was released for medical treatment due to his deteriorating health. Serena was able to visit him as she was his daughter.She cried and choked with tears as she told him her current situat
“Christina, you’ve gotten back with Michael now and the Larson family has an immense amount of wealth. Give your sister a hand so she wouldn’t be at the end of her rope, will you?”“She’s not my sister!” Christina was incensed. Where was everyone when she was in a tight spot? Serena was only getting what she deserved from all the bad things she did, yet Christina was supposed to help her out? Why should she?If she had the money, she would rather donate it to the beggars on the street than share it with Serena!Besides, she did not have any money to spare. She was still living in Matthew’s small villa with her uncle. They did not even have a place to call their own.Michael was filthy rich, but his wealth did not belong to her. She did not have the right to his money.The discussion ended terribly. Without bothering to show respect to John, she left the hospital with a sullen face.Ariel was exasperated to hear the story and immediately erupted in anger. “John is really shameless
Christina’s eyes welled up at the sound of that. She addressed Heather as ‘mother’ during all the years married to Michael, but she knew the woman had not accepted it herself even for a second. Upon seeing the excitement on her face, and the earnest tone of her words, Christina knew Heather was genuine about making amends. However, at a time like this, all she could do was express her gratitude.When she refused the suggestion, Heather left the place looking dejected.Later that night, the latter mentioned this exchange to her son. “You have to try harder so Christina will not end up with Sean.”“Don’t worry, Mom, I’m confident that Christina will give me another chance.” He sounded optimistic. He had been spending a lot of effort on pleasing Travis and Christina lately, not forgetting Ariel. Christina’s attitude to him remained the same, but his relationship with Travis and Ariel improved tremendously.Ariel stopped speaking eccentrically with him, and Travis even started call
“Get out! You bastard daughter of that evil woman!” John was shaking visibly.Michael scoffed on the side. “Miss Garcia, take a look at this!”Serena looked through the paternity test report. “Whose report is this?”“Yours and Mayor Garcia. Do you still think that you’re his daughter?”“This is impossible?!” She was baffled. She always thought that she was John’s daughter. Never would she have expected that they were not related by blood at all.“Why not? Your mother Sophia was once the famous socialite of Hoover Alley. It remains a mystery as to who your birth father is. Of course, you can ask your Uncle Tommy. I bet he knows which hooligan is your real father!”Dejected and embarrassed, she left with her cheeks burned red. Winona’s health was recovering steadily. Heather went to visit her at the hospital upon learning that. Winona thought she was dreaming when the woman showed up. Her eyes widened in disbelief. She thought Heather was in a deep coma. Why would she show up i
