Johan was arrogant and stubborn. He had never once taken an interest in his disobedient son. He didn't want to look at Sara as he thought that they were the family's black sheep. He even set a house rule that no one should ever mention her. Madam Moore had shed many tears over this matter. Johan was a man of his word. He refused to recognize Sara as a member of the Moore family. Some may even describe him as extremely ruthless. However, Johan's temperament had changed gradually in recent years. When he knew about Sara's tragic situation, he secretly lent Sara a hand instead of staying on the sidelines. Never in Earl's wildest dream would he imagine Sara to be Johan's granddaughter. He had strategize carefully and tried his best to hide the news from the media, so that the public would not know the truth. He thought his plan was flawless but he failed to realize that Hansen had always been in love with Jenna. Therefore, Earl's failure was bound to happen! W
"Norton, women prefer sweet-talkers and men who know how to coax them. You may have made mistakes in the past but I am sure Sabrina would forgive you if you are sincere. Don't let her go easily if you still like her." Jenna encouraged him as she stood up. Norton's eyes lit up momentarily but were soon extinguished by self-doubt. Norton had just started his career and he hadn't had much achievement yet. General Delia had high expectations. So, he didn't have the confidence to approach Sabrina yet. Jenna smiled and advised him. "Norton, no matter what you do, always keep in mind that as long as you work hard and treat people with sincerity, you will get what you give out to them. The universe never mistreats anyone. You're not young anymore. Not only do you have to accelerate your career advancement, you should also be mature and earnest when it comes to your relationship. Women are emotional beings. As long as you are genuine and patient, you might just get what you ha
"Quina, have you brought it back?" As soon as Quina came in, Madam Lilian couldn't help asking. That was the first time Quina saw Madam Lilian being so excited, and she understood her feelings very well. Quina was also happy for her. It would be a good thing if Madam Lilian could find her own daughter back. "Madam, I've brought it back," Quina replied with a smile. She produced the folder containing the documents from her hand, and with both hands, handed it to Madam Lilian. Madam Lilian's exhilaration coursed through her. Her face was flushed, and her hands were trembling as she took the file. Her heart was extremely heavy, yet she felt an indescribable excitement. In the file was the DNA test result between Madam Lilian and Sara, who was Madam Lilian's only relative in the world. After this, Madam Lilian would be able to confirm that Sara was the child she had given birth to after ten months of pregnancy, and she would be able to reunite with her. How wo
In the reception room. Madam Lilian, dressed in formal clothes, was sitting on a rattan chair, reading a newspaper. "Madam, Mr. Xanthe is here," Quina informed her in a low voice. Madam Lilian raised her head. "Hello, Madam." Yadriel immediately took a step forward, walked up to her, took a bow, and greeted her with utmost decorum. "Hello, Mr. Xanthe." Madam Lilian smiled and gestured her hand towards the reception chair next to her. "Please take a seat." "Thank you, Madam," Yadriel spoke as he bent down and bowed. He sat down carefully on one side, all smiles on his face. "Mr. Xanthe, you're really well-informed. You even caught the wind that I'm in A City." Madam Lilian elegantly set down the newspaper, half-teasing, and half-jokingly commented. Yadriel's face instantly tingled as he was caught off guard. However, there was no discomfort in his astute eyes. On the contrary, he was more respectful, with a bright smile on his face.
Jenna sat in the office in the Ink Garden, skimming through the accounting books. Maud hurried over. "Madam, someone asked me to give this to you." Maud came over with an envelope and handed it to Jenna with both hands. Jenna was taken aback. She took it over and opened it. It was a delicate invitation letter. When she opened it, it clearly wrote, "Greetings, Mrs. Richards! Madam Lilian will be coming to the Ink Garden to visit Vivian at nine o'clock tonight. Please see to the full execution of the security work and ask everyone to leave. Please ensure no word is leaked. Pay extra mind to this. Regards, Quina." Jenna was so shocked that she was at a loss at what to do. Madam Lilian was actually coming to visit Vivian at Richards Manor? Did Madam Lilian know Vivian? How would Madam Lilian think of paying a visit to Vivian? Jenna would never admit that Madam Lilian wanted to visit Vivian at Richards Manor because of her. What surprised her, even
"Nice to meet you, Madam Lilian." At the sight of Madam Lilian, Trevor, Hansen, and Jenna greeted her. Trevor was extremely flattered that Madam Lilian had dropped by to see Vivian. "Hello, all of you." Madam Lilian walked down steadily with Quina's support. With a mild smile, she greeted them and raised her head to glance around. With a sigh, she lamented, "A walk down memory lane. This feels so familiar." As soon as Madam Lilian said this, not only Hansen and Jenna felt strange, even Trevor felt a little odd. Trevor was the eldest son of the family, yet he didn't know that Madam Lilian had once visited Richards Manor. Maybe he had really seen Madam Lilian when he was at a tender age. Nonetheless, too many people had shown up at Richards Manor. How could he remember them all? What was more, he had been sent abroad by Old Master Richards when he was very young. "Madam, thank you very much for coming to visit my old mother. This way, please." On Trevor's face, a
Madam Lilian was stunned for a moment before she suddenly smiled lovingly and replied, "Well, well, since it's given to me by my granddaughter, I'll take it." Jenna smiled sweetly. Larry came over with a few bags. Jenna fetched the bag from her hand and offered with a smile. "Madam Lilian, let me help you put it in the car." Madam Lilian stared at the heavy things in her hands and smiled helplessly. "Jenna, you're such a good child. These gifts are too much. Can you tell me what gifts you've prepared for me?" Hansen noticed that the object Jenna was carrying was a little heavy. So, he quickly grabbed it from her hand and helped her carry it. "Madam Lilian, they are all specialties of A City. Though they are not very expensive, they're very special. I sure hope you won't dislike them." Jenna laughed wittily and answered in a warm and soft voice. "Why would I be unappreciative of them? However, it's not convenient for me to take so many things wi
The lush, verdant trees were entwined around the green vines, painting the outer walls of the Green Jade Garden's study with a sense of vitality. Hansen sat in the study. His charming eyes were focused. The Richards family's genealogy book was placed on the table. He carefully searched but could not find Madam Lilian. Did Vivian know Madam Lilian? Had they known each other for a long time? Why was there not a single trace of Madam Lilian's records in the past fifty years? Moreover, Madam Lilian's reputation was well-known throughout the world. Why did Vivian not mention anything about this? If Madam Lilian hadn't visited Vivian at Richard Manor, then they wouldn't know that Vivian was acquainted with Madam Lilian. Although they were aware that Vivian had always been secretive, such a thing still made Hansen feel a little confused. He vaguely felt that Madam Lilian seemed to have secrets he didn't know. His cell phone rang at just the right time. "Mr.
