Hellen received a call from the director of the detective agency. Tomas mistress, as well as the home he’d set up, had all been found out. She immediately went to the agency.
Just then, Imelda came out of her room and saw her mother. “Where are you going, Mom?”
Hellen replied as she grabbed her car keys, “The agency called. Your dad’s matters have been uncovered. I’m going over.”
Hellen said as she headed out, “I’m curious which little vixen is so shameless!”
It did not occur to Hellen that she was also a shameless vixen back then.
Imelda got interested too, saying, “I’m going with you, Mom.”
“What are you going over for?”
“You’re so easily riled up. I’ll have to be there to stop you!”
Imelda walked over. “Even if you really want to exact revenge on that vixen, we have to plan it well and not be impulsive! I&r
This had nothing to do with her status as the official wife, nor anything to do with loving Tomas. It’s purely because she hadn’t completely shifted all of Tomas assets to her name. How much she stood to lose if they divorced!Hellen was both sulky and furious, feeling the weight of both emotions. And worse, she got yelled at by Imelda, so the thought that Imelda also reckoned Tomas wanted to divorce her to marry that vixenInstantly, she burst into tears with a loud wail. “I’m angry and I’m scared, and you still wish me dead?” she cried.“Mom, don’t be unreasonable! How could I want you dead?” Resigned, Imelda parked the car by the curbside.“It’s because your actions just now were too dangerous. I know you’re angry, but you can’t treat both our lives carelessly! It’s that vixen and Dad who’s wrong, yet you’re the one who’s going to be hurt first? What&r
Early on a Monday morning, Hellen woke at 6 AM. She and Imelda usually slept until 10 in the morning.Now that Imelda up as well, both headed towards Claire parents’ home. When they reached the building, it was only 7AM.Because they were early enough, the roads were not jammed. But the residents were all up and about by this time. The youths did not appear much, as they need not wake so early to go to work.But the aged all came out for their activities, from exercising. They were everywhere.Hence, Hellen couldn’t see them at this timing. The cold of the dawn brings the lively air of the masses. The beauty of commonness overflows in this ordinary residential area.It’s just that Imelda and her mom couldn’t feel this beauty at all. They looked at these people busying about in disdain, feeling that they were darting about and working hard for life, waking early in the morning to bargain with the vendors. They were really ext
“This is our child. If there’s anything, we can always talk it out and teach her,” Mrs. Johnson said. “The child is already grown up; we can’t hit her anymore.”“We can’t teach her anymore! You heard what she said just now too! She won’t listen to us teaching her at all!” Mr. Johnson said furiously. “When a child is grown up, we can’t discipline her anymore!“But I can’t let her disgrace the name of my family! I’ve lived here for decades, and I’ve never been so ashamed!” Mr. Johnson said furiously. “I didn’t teach them well. She’s grown up now, but she doesn’t rely on her own work to live decently and actually went to become someone else’s mistress! And she’s still so indignant about being a mistress, thinking that that woman downstairs is no big deal. She thinks she’s not in the wrong?” Mr. Johnson raised t
“Why don’t you release her? You can discuss calmly. It might be a misunderstanding,” someone said.Claire appeared extremely pitiful.“What misunderstanding? There’s no misunderstanding!” Hellen was shrill. “I’ve already done a background check on her! Do you need me to release her intimate pictures before believing me!”“Slap!”One hand grabbing Claire’s hair, Hellen gave one tight slap with her free hand.“Such an innocent, pretty face, yet you use this innocent face to commit all those immoral things!” her free hand then pinched Claire’s cheeks forcefully.“Who knows, she might have already seduced your men! Such women are just shameless sl*ts. She doesn’t care about wealth; she’s just born to seduce other men!”“Enough! You’re going overboard!” Mrs. Johnson shouted upon hearing Hellen’s wo
And the woman couldn’t even remember her name.“You’ve got to be careful,” the auntie said. “You should look at your mom as a lesson to be learned. Your mom used to be young and pretty, and that’s why your dad abandoned his original spouse. The wife who was laboring over household chores turned into a haggard woman, and that’s why he came to hate her.“And now look, he hates your mom for becoming old and ugly, so he went for a younger one.“You’ve got to learn from her!” The auntie was either truly cautioning Imelda or further aggravating her. “Isn’t your fiancé stolen from your sister too? I remember now. Your fiancé didn’t like that your sister was unloved by your dad. He thought being with her was disadvantageous, and that’s why he moved on to you, wasn’t it?” The auntie was rather up-to-date.“So you’ve got to beware too. You
“Miss Johnson,” Anna greeted.“Thanks for the person you sent. Things proceeded smoothly,” she said. Anna sighed in relief upon hearing that.At first, Claire had approached her and asked her about Tomas taste in women. Anna had thought she was greedy and was after Tomas money.She’d assumed that Claire thought, since Anna and Hellen were at odds with each other, Anna would help her for sure in seducing Tomas and upsetting Hellen.Hence, Anna hadn’t planned to tell Claire anything much. She could seduce Tomas all she wanted, but Anna wouldn’t help her at all.Unexpectedly, Claire said, “I want revenge, and I want to gather evidence. To give my brother the justice he deserves and for Tomas to be punished!”Anna then decided to continue hearing Claire out. “What exactly is the matter?”Claire recounted how her brother went to jail because of accepting bribes. In reality,
Claire had been beaten by Hellen until her face was swollen. She did not dare to laugh at this moment. Even lifting her lips slightly felt painful.She wanted to chuckle a little at first, but she could not even laugh now. She carefully moved the corners of her lips as she said, “I purposely didn’t retaliate and just let her hit me. Only in this way would Tomas feel even more heartache for me and hate her even more.”After all, right now, she had the advantage of having a pretty face. Hellen was long past the peak of her prime. She was old now and her looks had also deteriorated.Just based on looks, even Tomas would know whom to feel bad for.At this stage, there was not much for Anna to persuade her about. She knew her plans, so she ended the call.Claire ended the call and zoned out for a moment. After a long pause, she then gave a call to the manager in the secretarial office, saying that she wanted to take leave today and wou
He took big strides over and yanked Hellen over at once. “What are you causing a ruckus for!”“What am I causing a ruckus for?” Hellen yanked her elbow out and shook off his hand. “Can you possibly not know what I’m causing a ruckus for? I didn’t expect that out of all the women you could find, you actually chose one that was right by your side!”On the other end of the corridor, an employee sputtered out in a hushed giggle and said in a low voice, “What’s there not to expect? Wasn’t she the woman who could not be any closer to him back then? She was his younger sister-in-law.”“You only know how to talk!” The colleague beside her was so entertained by her.“Don’t spout rubbish here and ruin a young lady’s reputation!” Tomas shouted sternly.“Yo! tomas, when did you become a gentleman? You can even spare a thought for other people&rsquo
