"Octavia, you don't have to worry too much. I understand your thoughts. I've thought about it these days. Everything is not important. My current goal is the Ocean Heart. As long as I get this treasure, I will immediately send your mother and brother to Sovento, and then I will give you a large sum of money to let your family live happily. How about that?" Zoella also noticed the despair in Octavia's eyes, thought about it, and comforted her in this way. The Ocean Heart? Octavia started to feel depressed. The Ocean Heart was just a rumored treasure. Since the auction many years ago, no one had seen it again. Moreover, no one could tell whether such treasure existed in the Richards Group. Wasn't this request impossible? Zoella was really terrible! She was too greedy! If Zoella was willing to let go of her mother and brother, then Octavia would oblige her wholeheartedly. However, how could she delay curing their illnesses? She couldn't count on such a vicious and unusual woma
"Miss Moore, thank you for gracing Richards Manor with your presence. It is my honor to welcome you here. Well, let's go and visit Grandma first. This way, please." Jenna smiled and made a gesture. Soon, Jenna accompanied Jaqueline towards the Ink Garden as they talked and laughed along the way. After taking Jaqueline to visit Vivian, Jenna took her to the reception room. "It's nice to meet you, Aunt Marissa!" Jaqueline called out warmly as soon as she stepped into the reception room. "Jaqueline, you're here." Marissa immediately stood up and smiled when she saw Jaqueline. Then, she took her hand and seated her next to her. Marissa exclaimed with admiration, "Our Jaqueline is really getting more and more beautiful. I wonder which lucky man will take your hand in marriage." Marissa did not hesitate to praise Jaqueline. On the one hand, she sincerely liked her. On the other hand, Jaqueline was representing Johan. At this time, Marissa hid all her worries abo
Liya woke up in the morning and was listless. She felt nauseous and sick when brushing her teeth. She frowned. She wanted to go out and have some fun, but she was tired. After brushing her teeth, she climbed back to bed and went back to sleep. Liya only got up at noon. The moment she reached the corridor, she heard a voice. Liya stopped in her tracks and hid behind the walls of the corridor. Then, she stretched her neck and peeped outside, only to see Trevor and Marissa accompanying a beautiful woman as they walked towards the dining hall of the Ink Garden. Only then did she find out that Ink Garden had a guest again. Richards Manor was indeed wealthy. Every guest here was nobler and more beautiful than the last. Liya hid in the corner of the wall and secretly admired them. It was almost lunchtime. Liya didn't plan to dine at Richards Manor anymore. Hence, she returned to the guest room to get a bag and walked out. Liya went to a high-end restaurant and or
At Wendell Plaza, Liya was sitting in a daze. She held a test sheet in her hand with a dull look in her eyes. Liya would've never guessed that she was pregnant! That day, Liya didn't have much appetite, and she kept vomiting. She thought that she had a cold. So, she went to the hospital to get a prescription. However, after the doctor listened to her words, he asked about her symptoms and gave her a test sheet. The result stunned her. She was pregnant! She thought about it for a long time. In the end, she finally concluded that the vile child in her womb was Oscar's! What should she do? Her morning sickness was extremely severe right now. If Liya continued to stay in Richards Manor, then she would soon be exposed. The situation was urgent. She couldn't care less about her discomfort and didn't dare to return to Richards Manor. Liya sat on the chair outside of the plaza in a daze, trying to come up with a countermeasure. If Liya could marr
Meanwhile, in the five-star hotel. With an evasive smile, Hansen walked to the couch and sat down. "Jaqueline, did Grandpa Johan call you here, or did you come by yourself?" After he sat down, Hansen asked her straightforwardly. Jaqueline's face was a little bitter. She was a famous young lady in Capital City, and many people wanted to have dinner with her. Yet, Hansen didn't seem to appreciate it. Of course, she didn't care. That year, at the ball held by Johan, all the celebrities in Capital City gathered. Johan took her to meet a lot of political leaders. Jaqueline was adored, and everyone's attention was on her. Everyone was complimenting her. Johan laughed heartily as Jaqueline followed behind him. Her smile was bright and charming. Jaqueline stood on the stage and looked down. She immediately noticed Hansen standing leisurely with a smile on his face among all the young handsome men. Like the other men who would turn to look at her with admirat
When Liya was about to leave with the pickled vegetables in her hand, Letty stopped her in time. She lowered her voice and whispered mysteriously, "Mrs. Richards, today is a good opportunity. Today, Marissa is staying in Old Madam's room. Meroy has asked for leave to take a night off because she is sick. So, there is no one else in Old Madam's room. Since Old Madam is dying, everyone has let down their guard. So, now is a great opportunity. Don't miss it." Letty's words were clear and logical, which warmed up Liya's refreshed mind. Her dull eyes were full of vitality. The Ocean Heart? If she could get her hands on this valuable treasure, then she could do anything to her heart's content. Moreover, she could also get rid of Oscar and Zoella. She didn't have to be bothered about Oscar anymore, and she could be free. With these thoughts in mind, Liya nodded and said, "Letty, thank you for your reminder." "There's no need to thank me, Mrs. Richards." Letty smiled as
Marissa was asleep in the lounge, but she was still alert. As soon as she heard the sound of Vivian's gulps and rapid breathing, she woke up, hurriedly got up to get dressed, and ran to Vivian's bedroom. Vivian had been in critical condition for such a long time. Everyone knew what she was most worried about at this time. Marissa dared not to be sloppy. The lighting of Vivian's bedroom was good. It was a little higher than the lounge. Hence, there was a small flight of stairs between Vivian's bedroom and the lounge. Marissa hurried up the stairs. Just as she opened the curtain, a blow struck her. "Ah!" Marissa screamed, and her whole body was pushed to the back by a hand. She was caught off guard, and it was deep into the night. As she was not young anymore, Marissa fell down the stairs with such a push. She only felt great pain from her leg. Then, the back of her head hit the ground, and she immediately fainted. Liya was rummaging through the room for tre
"Jenna, what are you doing? Do you miss me?" After the phone was connected, a crisp female voice rang. Jenna was stunned for a while before she exclaimed, "Hannah, is that you?" It had been a long time since she last saw Hannah. Jenna almost forgot her old best friend. She only knew that she had gone to Europe with Rayan and her Gently Cafeteria had closed down. "Oh, my..." "God, have you forgotten me?" Hannah protested impatiently on the other side of the line. Her voice was light and clear, with a European accent. It had been a few months since they last met, but her tone was obviously different. It was not only sweet and feminine but also more European. Jenna laughed out loud. "Hey, you heartless friend. You just followed a man and eloped without telling me. You're such a disloyal friend. Yet, you're saying that I'm the one who has forgotten about you. Do you still have any kindness in your heart? I now strongly condemn you for your immoral behavi
