“What nonsense are you saying?!” Tomas said angrily. “Didn’t you know how I treated Grace and Anna back then because of you and this brat? Have I kicked both of you out of the house now?”
Hellen was not scared of Tomas now. Anyway, the money was going to be in Imelda’s pocket soon. Tomas still did not know that yet.
“But you never ever hit Imelda in the past. You never hit her before!” Hellen shouted.
Imelda very timely slumped on the floor and cried, “Dad, I know I did wrong. I didn’t expect people to hear it. I was in Mike’s office then.
Tomas was angry. He blamed Imelda for not being discerning of the location and for even daring to agree to do it at that kind of place. It was fine if the office was soundproof. However, the office was not soundproof at all.
That recording was simply recorded too clearly.
He hated Mike even more. So Imelda was not discerning, but how could h
One year later:Grace had given birth to a baby boy and today the entire family gathered to celebrate little Chang’s (Cory Chang) birthday.It was going to be held at Valenski hotel. This day Anna had a surprise for everyone that include George.Everyone was already arrived as it was simply a family affair. Not many people attend and even reporters were not there.Meanwhile, at the William residence.Hellen’s face turned pale. “Your dad isn’t coming home again tonight! Did he even come home once during this week?”Imelda could not help but agree. “Mom, say, could he really have found someone outside?”Tomas of late as he was already tired with the two shrews at home, he had found himself a young sensible woman and bought a villa some place for her to stay in.Hellen suddenly stood up at once. After going back to her room for a while, she had already put on her coat and was carrying her
Hellen just felt that it was really quite possible that it was Grace. When Grace got together with Tomas, she’d worked hard without complaint or resentment. Even when Tomas met some troubles at work and his career did not take a turn for the better, Grace still did not rush him, and she’d even helped him tide over some difficult times.All along, she had been unwavering in times of favor or humiliation. But what Grace fell short on was that even though she was gentle and considerate, she did not depend on Tomas. And Tomas success could actually be credited to many of Grace’s suggestions. When they started their own business, Tomas did think that this was quite good.But when their career took off, Tomas felt that Grace was being a little too nosy. He was not that bad either, or else how could he have managed such a big business?He was arrogant and conceited. He felt that women should just be confined to their role in the household, take his mo
There was one more line which Imelda did not say.If that mother and daughter pair were that stupid, would she and Hellen end up in this state now?Hellen had been convinced by Imelda’s words. She nodded her head solemnly and said, “You are right. Let’s go over right now!”When Hellen and Imelda arrived, Grace was chatting casually with others at the dining table. She and Anna still did not know that Hellen and Imelda were coming to annoy them.Hellen parked the car and got off with Imelda. Her forte was being a shrew, so she had no fear at all.As Martin did not want to make the birthday party a high-profile event, Valenski operated as usual. If customers came, they would be allowed to enter. They could not possibly not allow people to come in.Hence, the duo did not meet any obstructions and entered Valenski. They were smart too and did not look for the manager.There would surely be someone who would recogni
Right after that, she heard Hellen say, “I know, you might not have any feelings for him, you hate him to the core, let alone have any feelings for him. But to take revenge on me, you can resort to do anything!”“But I’m not you.” Grace was really disgusted to the core. “Anyway, given your family’s current circumstances, do I even need to do anything to take revenge?”Grace laughed mockingly. “All that’s left is an empty shell. Why would anyone else need to do anything?”Hellen was shocked. Her heart started thumping, feeling a little anxious.Did Grace know something?She really did wrong Grace now.The William family was a far cry from how it was in the past. Anyone who paid scant attention would know that. There was no need to dig deeper for any inside information.Grace was simply referring to this as well. It was Hellen who had a guilty conscience; that was why she
George raised his eyebrow, as if he heard a joke. “You made it sound as if we are scared of you coming to find trouble. Tell me, how else can you both come and find trouble? You dare to provoke us? You completely don’t want to stay on in the entertainment industry anymore? Or do you think you have something you can threaten us with? Like the slander attempt today?” George said sarcastically as he tapped his fingers.Today, if he purposely did not let people stop them, this mother and daughter pair would not even have come close to entering this place. Why did he not stop them?Ha!If he stopped them, where would they go to learn of Tomas affair?“I already gave you the hints.” George chuckled and said, “Today, you guys came here to cause trouble and ruin my younger brother-in-law’s birthday banquet. I didn’t settle scores with you and even gave you both hints. This shows that I have a good temp
Even Imelda appeared in the video. At that time, Imelda had not worn her mask in time, so in the photos and the videos, her face could be seen clearly.It was just that, at the very start, the netizens all focused their attention on Hellen. Most of the people were just there for the drama. And some professional entertainment accounts and those reporters who did not manage to get any news that day started to scrutinize the video over and over again.They vowed to pick out any unusual clues from within the short few minutes of the video. This was how Imelda was found out.In the mess of the scene, Imelda was hiding behind the crowd, so she was inconspicuous. The moment she got identified, there was no question about Hellen’s identity.“Why is it this mother-and-daughter pair again? It’s been a while, yet they came out to do evil again.”“It’s really unbelievable. In the past, when Imelda was at the peak of he
Imelda finally turned to look at her. She felt a pang of guilt being stared at like this by Hellen. “Mom, what’s wrong? Why are you looking at me like this?”It was oddly creepy. Hellen just stared at her silently like that for quite a while before she said, “Imelda William.” Imelda’s heart suddenly dropped.Hellen had always called her warmly, she suddenly called her by her full name, and her tone also sounded so cold.Imelda forced a smile and asked, “Mom, what’s with you?”“Are you really doing this for me? Or are you just instigating me, using me like a dagger?” she had calmed down now. She now knew that Tomas was having an affair.But before the investigation results came out, she could not do anything. After her anger had dissipated, her sense of reason returned. The things that happened previously played out scene by scene in reverse motion in her mind.From the time wh
Who knew, Imelda could actually say it herself. If Anna was here, she would even clap for her. Her self-awareness was quite on point.“We’re the type that acts innocent and pitiful to make men feel heartache for us,” she said. “Every one of us is roughly the same type, and we are very accurate in our judgment of other people who are of the same type. That Claire is precisely like this. I can tell with just one look.”Not only do opposite forces repel each other, but similar types repel each other too.“And seeing her methods, I’m afraid she’s one notch higher above us,” Imelda said. Above Hellen, whose persona had long fallen apart. And even if it did not fall apart, Hellen was old now, and she could not pretend to be an innocent little white lotus even if she wanted to.Imelda laughed coldly. “After I saw her, I instantly went to ask around. I learned that at that time, she had indeed just enter
