“I know.” Mike patted and comforted her, then pulled her into his arms to console her. Before completely getting Hellen to help them, he still had to treat Imelda well.
“Imelda, what kind of person do you take me for? I know you gave a lot to me, and you lost much more. How can I not love you? I won’t be able to find a woman who is as willing to give so much for me. Don’t worry, your worries won’t happen. I won’t abandon you.”
He smiled and said, “Look, aren’t we going to collect our marriage certificates now? If not for your worries, we would probably be reaching the Civil Affairs Bureau by now.”
Imelda then smiled as her tears continued to fall. Mike wiped her tears away and then set off.
The two of them were very quick. After collecting their marriage certificates, they instantly came back to show Hellen.
“Good. I will take this into account and can feel more assured.”
When Anna learned that Hellen had been sentenced to six years, she also got a shock.“So Imelda and Mike got away scot-free?” Anna asked George. Of course, this matter was told by George to Anna over dinner, after he got off work and came home.Anna did not know about the details and did not deliberately ask about it. Tomas suing the three of them at the same time was news that had spread long ago.Everyone did not know whether to be shocked that Tomas actually went all out to ruin his kin, even suing his own daughter, or to be shocked that Tomas wife and daughter actually colluded with outsiders to harm Tomas. They heard many stories of husband and wife falling out, where the husband sued the wife and the wife sued the husband. Such incidents were fairly common. But not even letting off their children, such cases were fairly uncommon.Normally, even if the child made a serious mistake, the parents would still tolerate it and cover up for them
Imelda had a tiny bit of conscience, after all. She knew that her mom’s life inside was not good at all, and she did not want her to be upset because of this.Anyway, even if Hellen found out about it, it would be of no use when she’s in jail. Not like she could come out and help her.So, Imelda did not say anything. But she really did not know what kind of a life she was living now.Before Hellen had completely admitted to all the charges, Mike still treated her pretty well and would even pacify her. After Hellen really went in, when Mike and even the whole Cobby family was safe, Mike could not even be bothered to act for one day more. That change was like an instant downward spiral, making one unable to react.The previous second, he was still deeply obsessed with her and was so accepting of everything about her as he called her “baby, sweetheart.”When the matter was finally resolved, the next second, he became aloof and
Imelda’s strength was nothing compared to his. When Mike slapped her, his face was twisted in an ugly scowl, as if he was hoping he could slap her dead.Otherwise, Imelda wouldn’t be so scared. Even with Mike holding her, the force of his hand caused her to stagger backward. It went to show how much strength Mike had employed.Half of Imelda’s face was numb, feeling absolutely nothing. She thought she’d heard a dislocation sound. Perhaps her jaw got dislocated. Because half her face was numb, she couldn’t really move it. But soon after, she realized her jaw was indeed dislocated, because she discovered she could not utter a single word. Any movement triggered immense pain in her jaw bone.Imelda was crying uglily in pain, tears and snot all streaming down her face. Mike shoved her away with a look of disgust. Imelda desperately wanted to ask, how dare he hit her when he’s a man!But she could not speak nor close her mou
Mike sighed. “Because of the William family incident, Imelda doesn’t have the energy to spare for relationships. I don’t want to force her. We had a peaceful breakup.”Everyone found it weird hearing his words. Many were certain he had married Imelda, or did they divorce already?Or was it a secret marriage?But the ones who knew the truth were only a minority within the circle. But most curious netizens did not know this, and they really believed that the two didn’t marry. But they certainly did not believe his words either.Most universally agreed, saying Imelda was doomed with no more familial support. Feeling she’s worthless, the Cobby family naturally discarded her. Though both had never been good people, Mike was still labeled a jerk.The ones within the circle who knew the truth wouldn’t have loose lips, and the most they’d do was to talk among themselves. The Cobby family was still actively se
One year later…Imelda had started her mission and her investigation was going well as the Cobby family had let their guard down as they saw her as no threat to them, she would communicate with the partner through encrypted text.Anna had given birth to a baby boy who was now almost approaching one year, though George wanted a baby girl, he still loved his baby boy well.Today, Anna and George attended a fashion gala in London, felt that this fashion Gala was actually just a large-scale costume party. And she had never actually seen George wear such an outfit. He looked like a graceful gentleman from ancient times, like frost under the moon.The two of them set off for the gala. On the way there, Anna asked, “Where’s Big Brother?”“Zara wants to go together with Big Brother, so he’s just waiting there directly for her to finish work,” George explained.The guests invited to the fash
They took turns speaking, and with a few short sentences, they managed to make Denise into someone who takes advantage whenever she could, meaning she was standing here on purpose to let others misunderstand the situation.Upset, Denise wanted to say something to defend herself. To make them stop belittling her. But before she could, the other diners in this table all arrived.All of them greeted Liam and George. Then they were introduced to Anna and Zara.When they were all introduced to each other, the guests then looked towards Emma and Denise. “These two are…”They clearly assumed the Emma, Denise and the Wolf brothers were acquainted.George looked mockingly at Emma and Denise, as if saying, “See? Others misunderstand, don’t they?”He then said, “We don’t know them at all. They probably felt happy seeing us here and came over to say hi.” George might have put it this way, but the gu
“I will send someone to investigate this together with you,” Liam said coldly.The principal’s expression changed. “You don’t trust us?”“This concerns my Younger Sister-in-law. As her family, we have the right to be involved,” Liam said coldly. “And why would this row of lights drop for no reason? Your school is responsible for this. I naturally wouldn’t trust you.”Very soon, the ambulance arrived and the paramedics hurried over. They first did emergency inspection and treatment for Anna. They found out that she had internal bleeding at the back of her head, but luckily, the wound was not big.George went with Anna to the hospital in the ambulance. The others drove over on their own.Liam stayed behind. Anna had just been brought away when the men that Liam had called over arrived.The principal was about to send someone to investigate, but he was stopped by Liam. “Wai
George immediately stood up. “Dad, you both head to the police station first. You can tell me in detail about the matter on the way there. I will send someone to investigate together with you.”Martin nodded and brought Grace to leave. At this moment, even if she was left behind here, she would not feel assured either.He might as well bring her along so that she would be able to know the situation first hand. Was Martin not anxious then?He was very anxious too. But he had to stay calm. He could not look weak or helpless at all.Or else Grace would have no one to lean on for support. Grace sobbed silently all the way.She did not want to cry. She knew that at this moment, crying would not solve anything, but knowing was one thing, and doing was a different thing altogether. How could she not be worried?Cory had been kidnapped by someone. Who knows what those people want to do, what their background was, and why they snatched th
