"Barbara, what are you doing?" Dexter strode in and helped Emily up. When he heard Emily was meeting Barbara, he was worried that another conflict would break out. Therefore, he rushed out immediately. When he arrived, he heard Emily begging Barbara to come back to his side. However, Barbara cursed him for being filthy and disgusting instead. When she said that she would never return to his side, he felt a piercing pain in his heart. Then he saw Barbara pushing Emily away viciously. At that point in time, he couldn't stand by watching them any longer. Seeing the blood on Emily's forehead, Dexter glowered at Barbara and remarked, "How can you be do vicious? She's your sister! Your sister!" "My sister? Her mother has an affair with my father!" Barbara felt a great pain in her heart when she saw how concerned Dexter was. Three years ago, he was being so ruthless to her and three years later, he had the audacity to show his concern towards Emily in front of her. Reminded of Eden who w
Everybody could see through Emily's ulterior motive for Dexter. Not to mention before their marriage, Emily would always come to flatter Raina and help her with Dexter. Then, after Barbara was married to Dexter, Emily did not even shoe signs of stopping her sundry indecorous advances. She would often come to the Lorenzo family to annoy Barbara. If Emily had even the tiniest consideration foe Barbara, she wouldn't have cooperated with Raina to begin with. "Mr Cook, are you blind? Deaf? Or is your brain dead?" Barbara stared fiercely at Steven. "If all these were done for me, those two bitches should have stayed away from me after the incident was exposed or at least stayed far from Dexter. But what did they do instead?" Barbara continued. "Barbara, it wasn't my intention to let Emily be with Dexter. After you divorced Dexter, Raina came to propose marriage but I refused firmly at that time. After that, Raina also gave up the idea and began to look for other women for Dexter. Later..
Raina had never thought that Barbara would come to her house and make such a huge fuss. However, the truth was thar Raina wasn't the one who kidnapped Barbara's child. Nonetheless, when Barbara barged into the house and started questioning her, she suddenly had an idea.At that time, Barbara was furious and convinced that Raina was the one who kidnapped Eden. All Raina needed to do was to provoke Barbara so she would do something irrational and I acceptable. Then Raina would be able to force Dexter to make a choice and get rid of Barbara once and for all.That was why Raina didn't even care to run away instead she even hit Barbara. Due to that, Barbara almost strangled Raina to death in a fit of anger.Since they had such a huge fight, needles to say, Raina would definitely not give in. However, all Dexter did was to demand Barbara to apologize. His protective action towards Barbara infuriated Raina.Therefore, Raina once again grabbed hold of Barbara, attempting to force Dexter to m

The Hayes Group in San Francisco was regarded as a high standing company. Their tenth anniversary appreciation cocktail party was definitely held in a grand manner. Dexter who would definitely be invited to the party would not miss it.The venue was Shangri la hotel, which belonged to the white family. As long as he agreed Nathan, things would fall into places. This time, Jeremy wanted Dexter to know how powerful he was.At the same time, Dexter received the Hayes Group invitation to attend the appreciation party. However, he was reluctant to attend it as Jeremy would definitely be present at that party. When he thought about Jeremy abd Barbara attending the party, he felt upset.John was not aware that Dexter was upset and asked him softly, "Mr Lorenzo, do you want me to inform Miss Cook?"Dexter did not want to show up with Emily at all,but it was not justifiable to not bring her along to such a big occasion. After all, they were engaged. He sighed heavily, "okay, call her."At seve
Jeremy was not willing to leave. He wanted to wait to execute the plan personally but he was already exhausted. David was worried about Jeremy's condition abd forced him to the hospital. When he left, David handed Barbara an access card. "This is the card for the next room. You can go to the next room and wait. Someone will update you soon. I will send Mr Black to the hospital first. Please call me if anything happens."Barbara took the card and went upstairs to the room. When Dexter went to change his suit earlier, Jeremy had told her that the wine that was given to Dexter earlier was spiked.After Dexter fainted, someone would send him into the guest room. In the guest room, a beauty woman would be waiting for him. After Dexter and the woman had intercourse, the woman would inform them about it. And then Jeremy would go to the room and collect the sperm.However, Jeremy's diarrhea was not part of the plan. Barbara was very nervous being alone. She did not not know what the situati
Barbara soaked herself in a warm bath and exhaled a long breath. She and Jeremy were undoubtedly the losers in the plan this evening. But looking at it another way, she did not completely fail. At least she was one step closer to her goal.Dexter wanted her to be his secret lover? She had never considered him to be such a lecherous man. To hell with the contract, ad long as she succeeded in conceiving another child of his!She would leave him as soon as she got pregnant. If Dexter thought that the contract could tie her down, he must be day dreaming!Jeremy sent Barbara home and went back to the hotel to pick up Dexter. Dexter was fiddling with the pinhole camera in his hand. He glimpsed at John before throwing the camera into the trash can and asked, "What did she say?""She asked when we started to plot against her?"Dexter closed His eyes. She was usually calm. Wasn't she? How could she have the nerve to ask such question when she was the cunning one in the beginning? Although he
When they returned to the White mansion, Britney ordered the house keeper to prepare the cash. When the kidnappers called, she would give it to them to save Barbara. When Joanne came back, she stopped Britney after getting a hold of the situation. "Grandma, don't you think this is the perfect opportunity?""Perfect opportunity for what?" Asked Britney."To get rid of Barbara " Joanne reminded her. "As long as we don't pay the ransom, the robbers will definitely get rid of her. By then, Barbara will definitely disappear. That way, you won't have to worry about Nathan anymore""What did you say?" Britney looked at Joanne in surprise as if she was a stranger. "How could you suggest something so sinister? Barbara was taken away in order to save me. Do you feel like it is the right time to discuss this?""I....I..." Joanne knew that she has misspoken. She had always acted gentle and kind. No wonder Britney was surprised when Joanne made such a suggestion.The robbers took Barbara to a hous
"Britney, of your father had an affair and then had an illegitimate daughter behind your mother's back and caused her to die, would you still acknowledge him as your father?""Of course I won't!" After Britney answered, she looked at Barbara in astonishment. "What do you mean?""If you had paid a little more attention to Steven, you would realize that Emily is the same age as me" Barbara turned to look out of the window."I see!" Britney sighed. "I have misunderstood you. I'm sorry!.""Britney, let me be frank with you. It's not that I didn't have feelings for Nathan, bur rather I understood the disparity between our worlds. I didn't have any right to like him, so I suppressed my feelings for him. Later, after you talked to me, I decided to leave. Now I don't deny that I am part of the reason why Nathan is the way he is now. I didn't choose him back then. Now, that I'm burdened with my own baggage, I can assure you that I won't hurt him. I will persuade him to find his own partner."B
Jeremy looked at Lydia in the ward in a daze and asked himself over and over again. "Jeremy, you have lived for so long. What have you done for her?" He couldn't think of anything. In his memory, it seemed that Lydia had always been the sole one sacrificing for him. He had never done anything for her! He recalled Lydia's pleading eyes that night when she said, "Joanne is a good girl. I like her very much. I hope you can like her too and get together with her!" A bitter smile appeared at the corners of Jeremy's mouth. At this moment, he finally understood what Malcom felt like back then. After all, who wouldn't feel this way when they couldn't be with the one they loved? ..... After some thoughts, Britney decided to invite Barbara out to meet at a cafe. Barbara arrived twenty minutes earlier. Meanwhile, Britney was very punctual. She arrived right on dot. This was the first time Britney was meeting Barbara again after nine years. Barbara's appearance was still the same as that of
Jeremy was smoking at the end of the corridor. The cigarette tip glowed brightly, illuminating his gloomy face. Suddenly, he heard footsteps coming from behind him. Jeremy felt a hand on his shoulder. "Jeremy, I have something to tell you" said Pedro. Jeremy modded and went to the study with him, "I know what happened yesterday. In fact, if you want to know about what happened back then, you don't have to question Lydia. you have to come to me." Jeremy didn't say anything. He just looked at Pedro quietly. "The emotional dispute between your parents and Myra was actually a tragedy caused by two rich and powerful families. Both your grandmother's were friends and they had agreed very early on that day that they wanted their children to marry each other. Later on, your grandmother was even more determined when she saw how kind and gentle your mother was. Unfortunately, she hadn't expected Malcom to fall in love with Myra in high school." Pedro paused for a while and added, "what happe
"How... How is he?" Lydia's eyes lit up."He's fine" Jeremy hesitated for a moment and asked, "Mom, do you know Myra?"Lydia's face suddenly changed. After a while, she mumbled, "Yes""How did she die?""What did Malcom say to you?" Lydia retorted with another question."He told me a bit about what happened between the two of you. He said that Myra was killed by you!""Did he say that?" Lydia's face suddenly turned ashen, her body shaking like a leaf."Mom, is what Malcom said true?" Jeremy insisted on an answer."Since he had said so, it must be true!" Lydia's face was as white as a ghost; there was a bitterness brewing in her heart.Jeremy did not expect Lydia would admit to it. He felt an unspeakable disappointment in his heart. How he wished Lydia would deny it without any hesitation and tell him that it was all Malcom's nonsense. But she didn't.The image of his kind mother who had always been humiliated by Malcom had changed in his mind. Anyone in his position would feel the sam
Malcom pushed Jeremy's hand away from his collar and roared, "Just like how you have no feelings for Joanne, I never intended to marry Lady Klein. I told her very clearly that I wouldn't marry her. I loved Myra but what did she do to me? She promised me she would let go of Mr. But behind my back, she plotted against me and set me up so that Myra would see her in my bed. Because of that, Myra broke up with me. Your mother has never been blameless in this tragedy! I became like this because of her! Do you understand?" "Bullshit!" Jeremy did not believe that his gentle mother would pull such a plot. "You can go ask Lydia whether this is all bullshit or not. After that night, she got pregnant with you, and her mother forced me to marry her. I was in so much pain after losing Myra, so I lost all rationality. I agreed to marry Lydia, but we were never in a real relationship." Malcom smiled bitterly and added, "we could have just lived peacefully like this, but she just had to push Myra ev
"How can I not be worried?" Barbara picked Eden up and went inside. She was his mother and they shared an unbreakable bond. After all, Eden was her flesh and blood. At such a young age he had to endure the torment of such an illness. How could she not stay put and sit idly? She even hoped to be the one who was ill instead of Eden. Barbara's arrival made Eden very happy. The room was echoing with laugher. Barbara had forgotten all her fatigue. She played building blocks with Eden. Nathan joined as well. The three of them sat on the carpet and had a whale of a time. Suddenly, Nathan's phone rang. He picked it up and heard Joanne's voice. "Nathan, grandma asked you to come home for dinner" "I'm not free" Nathan answered while he reached out to place the blocks. Joanne turned on the loudspeaker mode on her phone. Britney heard Nathan's answer and gestured for Joanne to continue to persuade him. Suddenly, Britney and Joanne heard a childish voice from from the receivers end. "Nathan, thi
Dexter did not reply to John. His engagement with Emily was unrelated to the quarrel between Barbara and Raina but was because Barbara had said that she would never go back to him again. She said she despised him. Besides, Emily could not conceive and with that in mind, he found her together with Barbara, he ended up making this decision. Dexter's eyes darkened. "Have you found out the identity of the person who abducted the child?" "No, the hospital's surveillance video was blurry and the man wore a mask, therefore his face was not apparent at all," John replied. That was a premeditated act! Except for Raina who wanted Barbara to disappear, who else would want her gone? "It's definitely not madam Raina's order. I checked her call records and could not find any clues that she was linked to the incident." Added John. Dexter believed that it was not Raina who took Eden away from the hospital. Although Raina could be quiet unreasonable and snobbish she would not do such a vicious thi
Dexter planned to search for the disobedient woman. He had informed her very clearly that the contract the previous night would take effect immediately. Since she was now bound to him and was his secret lover, she must act like one!Dexter drove the car to Jeremy's company and called Barbara again. The phone line was still busy. Dexter hung it up, and after a few minutes he called again. The result was still the same. At that time, Dexter felt that something was wrong. Did she blacklist him?If Barbara had blacklisted him, there was no way he could reach her by phone. Yet, he couldn't enter Jeremy's company to catch her. He was so furious that he punched the steering wheel..the anger in his heart dissipated a little. He lit a cigarette and forced himself to calm down. He knew how stubborn Barbara was. It was reasonable that she did not cooperate with him as she was humiliated by him the previous night.Well then, he had to think of a way to make her give in to him.After Barbara left
