Both vehicles were neck to neck, neither was able to pass the other. At that moment, the sound of spinning blades could be heard above his head. Hansen looked up and saw a helicopter hovering above. From the Hummer, he could vaguely see numerous intimidating faces. It seemed that the helicopter, which would be taking them out of the country, had arrived! "Stop them. We can't let them board it." Seeing the helicopter hovering above their heads and the ladder being let down, Hansen started becoming anxious. At that moment, the gangsters were also starting to worry. If it weren't for Hansen and the others chasing after them, then they would have already begun to escape from this piece of land. Therefore, they began to concentrate on shooting Hansen and his partners. The gunfight became more intense. Hansen's Grand Eagles went after them and began to surround and intercept the culprits. At that time, the sky was dark, and with the helicopter hoveri
"Jenna, my child, are you alright?" Sara finally heard Jenna's voice and asked excitedly. "Don't worry, Mom. I'm fine. I'm alright." Jenna shook her head repeatedly and put her hand on her chest. She held back her grief with a sad yet beautiful smile on her face. Sara could finally recall some events, but Jenna was more worried that the excitement would be bad for her health condition. This was what she didn't want to see. "Then, that's alright. It's good that you're fine." Sara's eyes lit up as she muttered to herself. All of a sudden, she seemed to have thought of something and asked nervously, "How about Hansen? Is he fine?" "Mom, he's doing well. Right now, he's at Grandma's funeral at Richards Manor." Jenna wiped away the tears on her face and answered softly. "Oh." Sara heaved a sigh of relief, feeling completely relaxed. She muttered to herself, "Now that Vivian has passed away, I should be mourning for her. Jenna, take me to Vivian's memorial servi
"My child, you're wrong. Others may think that I'm high and mighty, but that's just an illusion. My life is much sadder than yours, but I've always lived with a positive and optimistic attitude. I've always been working hard until my efforts are recognised and approved. Now, my life is giving me back what I deserve. That's why I'm telling you, you can't give up easily. You have to strive in life, actively and optimistically. What's worse in our existence is not the suffering from illness or the pain of losing one's family, but overcoming the hurdles in your heart. You have to believe in yourself." Madam Lilian sat in front of the bed and held Sara's hand while explaining to her patiently and carefully. Sara's weak consciousness for survival and her aloofness in dealing with worldly affairs did not belong to a positive and optimistic person. In fact, she had shown that she had given up on life, was dissatisfied with her current situation, and just going through her life without ca
"Are you sure? Madam Garver." With Jenna's affirmation, Madam Lilian was extremely happy. She looked at Sara, who was lying on the bed with a hopeful look in her eyes, and asked eagerly. Sara was in a daze for a moment, staring blankly at Madam Lilian. Her intuition was very strange, and she didn't know how to answer at the moment. However, when Madam Lilian looked at her, her eyes were bright and full of anticipation. If she didn't answer the question, then it would be too cruel and impolite. After a while, she nodded and smiled. "Madam, I think your daughter will accept you. As long as you are sincere enough, she has no reason to abandon her own mother." Madam Lilian's eyes brightened when she heard that. The expression on her face was clear as she said, "Of course I'm sincere. I dreamt of taking my daughter back and spending the rest of my life with her. If she is willing to have me in and not hate me, then I'll smile even in my dreams." When Madam Lilian hea
"Aren't you going to listen to me?" General Delia frowned and asked in a serious tone. From her observation, Jenna roughly understood how General Delia felt at that moment, seeing that Sabrina did not leave as she was obviously afraid that General Delia would hurt Norton. Hence, Jenna stepped forward and took Sabrina's hand while smiling. "Sabrina, let's go downstairs and wait for your father. Grandma's memorial service is about to begin. This is the last day of the funeral, and since we have to care for her dignity, we can't miss the time. I'll arrange a nurse to take care of Norton." As she spoke, she winked at Sabrina, motioning her to come out with her. Sabrina was guided out by Jenna, but she was still a little anxious. Her father didn't really like Norton and was afraid that he would make things difficult for him because of personal feelings. "Silly girl, what are you thinking about?" Jenna poked Sabrina with her hand and asked with a warm smile. The
When General Delia walked out of the hospital, he saw Sabrina pacing back and forth downstairs. She looked worried and her eyes were fixed at the floor above from time to time. Without looking, he knew what she was doing and thinking. Alas, a grown woman wouldn't stay at home. This was really an eternal truth. He shook his head. If he hadn't seen Norton pounce on Sabrina recklessly to block the bullet for her the day before, then he wouldn't have agreed to let her marry Norton no matter what. After all, he had played around too much in the past. However, that time round, based on his observation these days, he discovered that Norton had really changed. He had become more mature and steady. At the same time, he had also seen his infatuation for Sabrina. It was only then that he started to inquire about Carmella Newton's background. After learning about it, he felt more at ease and went to the hospital to visit Norton, while having the opportunity to clear things
"Jenna, Madam Lilian is a guest of honor. Quickly, welcome her and let her get on the electric vehicle." Trevor ordered as he saw that it seemed to be rude for Jenna to follow Madam Lilian this way. Madam Lilian could tell from the way Trevor spoke that he was reprimanding Jenna for being insensible. She frowned slightly and immediately said, "Jenna is my little granddaughter. It's my honor to be with her. It's my fault for not knowing what's proper and insisting on pestering her. I'm afraid I'm disturbing her and I am worried." When Trevor heard that Madam Lilian was so affectionate with his daughter-in-law, he was also very happy. After all, treating his daughter-in-law well was also for the sake of the Richards family. "Madam, the funeral is about to begin. Please come in." He immediately led Madam Lilian and the rest towards the electric vehicle. Richards Manor had gates in four directions, east, south, west and north. The east gate was now wide open and peo
"Madam, this way please." As soon as they arrived on the island, the emcee greeted them and led them forward. At that moment, people stood solemnly by the side and waited for the imminent memorial service. Fortunately, Central Island was large enough to accommodate many people. When Trevor and the rest escorted Madam Lilian over, everyone's eyes were on them. The camera lenses of the mass media outlets were also focused on them. Their eyes were all focused on the world's most well-known woman, Madam Lilian. Such a woman was usually only heard of. They did not expect that she would appear up close at Vivian's funeral. At the same time, they also saw the special love and care of Madam Lilian for Jenna. She held Jenna's hand, with a doting face and extremely intimate words and deeds. The mourning hall was silent. Kimmel and another guard wearing a pair of glasses stood by Madam Lilian's side. The emcee led Madam Lilian and the rest towards t
Santiago went home once more to retrieve Jepherson's sperm from the sperm bank. After that, Raeleigh got pregnant through medical procedures. However, when Raeleigh was only three days pregnant, the doctor made a major discovery. He informed her that he made progress with Shaney's illness , and that he might have misdiagnosed her condition. At that time, Raeleigh had been so overjoyed that Shaney was fine, and she only remembered that she was pregnant after half a month since learning about Shaney. By the time she remembered that she was with child, she wanted to stop her pregnancy. However, Santiago persuaded her to give the baby to him. Raeleigh pondered about it for a long time before finally agreeing. ...... Time passed in a blink of an eye, and Raeleigh had never expected for things to turn out the way it did. She gave birth to her second child, and Shaney had made a full recovery. Santiago had told her that the baby was the will of God, and he
When Raeleigh got out of the car, she began staring at the Richards family's courtyard. Although the Richards family had already buried Marissa's body, Raeleigh was still unwilling to go back. However, as she gazed at Carsten's precious little face that was looking at her expectantly, she had no choice but to follow Jepherson inside. At that moment, Santigo and the other children were in the yard. When Santiago saw Raeleigh and Jepherson, he smiled and gestured at Jepherson. "What are you doing?" Raeleigh asked when she saw Santiago. "Nothing." Though Raeleigh did not believe Jepherson, she decided not to ask further. When Carsten saw Forden and Shaney, he immediately tried to break away from Jepherson's arms, wanting to get to them. The children were all gathered in the Richards family manor that day. Coupled with the four other children of the Whalen family, there were ten children altogether, and they almost occupied the entire courtyard. Ra
Raeleigh said nothing as Carsten continued sinking his teeth into Jepherson's neck. She stared in shock as blood seeped out of his wound. Jepherson raised his hand and patted Carsten gently, then walked to the bed and sat down. After a while, Carsten finally fell asleep. He closed his eyes as he dozed off in Jepherson's arms. Meanwhile, Raeleigh had rushed out of the room to ask the hotel staff to prepare disinfectants before going back into the room to help Jepherson clean his wound. Jepherson leaned against the wall, still holding Carsten in his arms and unwilling to let go. Raeleigh frowned. "What should we do?" Jepherson's voice was a little hoarse. He had been busy for the past two days entertaining guests. "He got scared because of the crowd. He thought that you didn't want him anymore since he couldn't find you, and probably thinks that I'm the one who forced him to stay there." After bandaging Jepherson's wound, Raeleigh helped wipe Carsten's mouth. Sudd
After Raeleigh and the others left, Santiago walked to Zorion's car and stopped him. Zorion casted a glance outside. "Rossie, you should go first. He won't show any mercy once I get off." "You knew he wouldn't show you mercy, so why didn't you think of that before you caused trouble?" "I was just kidding! Who knew he'd have such a bad temper? I didn't expect him to take it seriously." Rossie sighed and gave in. Glancing at Zorion, she finally understood that he was only using her as an excuse to escape whenever he got into trouble. She got out of the car and looked at Santiago who stood opposite her. "Long time no see." "Where's Zorion?" "He's so afraid of you that he doesn't even dare to come out," said Rossie. "It's too late to be scared." He walked up to Zorion's car with the rod in his hand, then raised the stick and smashed it against the car until it was completely wrecked. When he was done, he tossed the stick aside, turned to pick
After leaving the kindergarten, Raeleigh followed Santiago to the Richards family manor. It had been four years since she returned, so she was no longer familiar with the place. Santiago went in, put Carsten down and asked the children to keep themselves entertained. He then looked at Raeleigh and said, "I came back this time because Mrs. Richards is dying. She has been unconscious for a while now. I came back to see her for the last time." Raeleigh asked, "Mrs. Richards?" "Yes. Jepherson hasn't been home these couple of days because he has gone to visit her. He didn't tell you about it because Mrs. Richards doesn't want to see you. While she was still herself, she did say that she would never let you into the family, and that she didn't want to see you ever again. Jepherson went to take care of her but was worried about you. So, he asked me to come home to take a look and it was only then did I find out that Carsten is autistic. This is on your plate now."
When the time came, Raeleigh enrolled Carsten into a kindergarten. On the first day of school, Carsten was bullied. Raeleigh felt sorry for him as she gently touched his swollen face. He had been beaten because he could not speak. She wanted to confront the bully, but Jepherson stopped her. He told her that Carsten should resolve this matter by himself. That year, Raeleigh could not sleep well at night. Hair loss became an issue, and she was exhausted all the time. But after half a month, the children stopped bullying Carsten. Instead, their parents came to Raeleigh's home. "Just take a look at your child..." The parents pointed to their child, and Raeleigh was confused when she saw a boy about the same height as Carsten. The boy seemed to have taken a serious beating, but when Carsten had gotten beaten up like this, Raeleigh hadn't gone to look for trouble with the bully's parents, did she? Raeleigh retorted, "And? It's normal for
The snow was falling heavily. Jepherson put away the phone and took Raeleigh back into the house. The two stood inside and watched the snow. Meanwhile, Hadrian and Scarlette were busy in the kitchen, not daring to make a sound. The Richards family manor remained quiet when winter was approaching. None of the family members returned even on New Year's Day. Raeleigh went to the yard and waited for them in advance, but no one came back. After New Year's Day, Raeleigh returned to her home with Jepherson. Her family members were all surprised to see her pregnant when she got home. They did not expect Raeleigh to be pregnant after being missing for several months. Moreover, she was almost due. Everyone in the Osteen family knew that Raeleigh stayed because of the baby inside her belly. Undoubtedly, the baby was Jepherson's. However, they wondered where Santiago went. Since Raeleigh said nothing, no one dared to ask about it. They all ignored the incident and sil
Raeleigh was stopped by Jepherson's men at the entrance of the village. 'I knew it wouldn't be easy for me to run away.' "Madam Raeleigh, Mr. Richards is waiting for you." Raeleigh had no choice but to go back with them. At the same time, Jepherson sat on his wheelchair outside the village with a blanket on his lap and upon seeing Raeleigh, he breathed a sigh of relief. Raeleigh walked up to him, "Don't be complacent. I'll leave one day." Shifting his gaze to Raeleigh's belly, Jepherson stretched out his hand and pulled her to him. Despite being too weak to walk, he had a firm grip. Raeleigh lost her balance and fell onto his lap. She tried to escape, but he said immediately, "Don't move." Although his voice sounded terrifying to others, he was trying to negotiate. Everyone turned around to look at them, and Raeleigh blushed. Jepherson covered her body with the blanket, then placed his hand onto her belly. Raeleigh tensed up immediately. She ra
Raeleigh had been depressed for a while after Santiago's departure. After a few days, she finally calmed down a little. Jepherson's health had not improved during this period of time. Whenever he was free, he would stare at Shaney's photo in a daze. Deanna and Jacky had helped take care of Jepherson when Raeleigh fell ill. After Raeleigh recovered, she returned to taking care of him herself. However, Jepherson had been in such poor health that he couldn't even go downstairs. It took Raeleigh a lot of effort to help him get down, especially when he was unwilling to go downstairs. "Autumn is coming. I don't want to go down." He was saying that it was cold downstairs. Raeleigh replied, "I can't take care of you all the time. Are you going to exhaust me to death? Your parents left you alone and ignored you. Santiago abandoned you too. What do you want me to do? I have to work. I also have to take care of you..." "Then stop working. Take care of me." Rael
