Chapter 29Bang!Before Alfred could finish his sentence, Burgess delivered a heavy punch to him.Sue was startled and about to intervene when she saw Burgess, like a madman, grabbing Alfred's collar and repeatedly hitting him with his fists.On the other hand, Alfred never expected to provoke such a furious reaction from Burgess. He was caught off guard and beaten up, blood splattering everywhere, and the scene quickly turned chaotic.Burgess was aware if Oprah was not that kind of woman, like Alfred and Sue said. Those bad words about her must be the part of their deal and the best part of the plan was to make this damn Alfred intentionally trying to provoke him.Burgess clenched his fists tightly, his eyes cold and fierce, “Once you dare to open your rotten mouth again, I will cut your tongue and throw it to a dog!”The clash between them ended with Alfred was taken to the hospital by Burgess's assistant.Sue on the other side looked at Burgess, who was brooding and considered persu
Chapter 30"Get out! Get out of here," Burgess roared like a raging beast, violently shaking off Oprah's hand as if he felt dirty, even touching her. "Get out and never come back again. Don’t let me see your face anymore!"A look of astonishment appeared on Oprah's face. Did he want to drive her out just because of those rumors? How ridiculous!He had done everything to keep her confined in this villa, even brought her back from the airport, and now he was shouting for her to leave.Tears welled up in Oprah's eyes, and her vision became blurry. But she held back her tears and replied gladly, "Fine, I'll leave. I won't ever appear in front of you anymore, Burgess. After all, I indeed want it since long time ago, to free from you."After saying these words, Oprah quickly took her credentials and resolutely left the villa.But it was already past eight in the evening. The sky outside was covered with dark clouds, and a storm was approaching. The strong wind even made the trees around the
Chapter 31Roxanne nervously replied, "Yes… You're my daughter. Of course, I do care about you."Oprah remained silent.After a while, she took a deep breath, as if making a big decision, and said expressionlessly to Roxanne, "Fine, I'll marry Alfred."Hearing Oprah’s answer, Roxanne was a bit surprised. But then, she hugged her daughter and said, "That's great. I love you, Oprah."***Soon, the marriage of Harrison's stepdaughter and Jeffery's heir appeared in major entertainment headlines.Alfred himself couldn't wait to take Oprah to register their marriage. He wanted Oprah to officially belong to him so that no one would dare to covet her anymore.As if afraid that Oprah would change her mind, the Jeffery family also quickly set a wedding date, just half a month away. They even designed the wedding invitations in advance, making everything feel like a movie fast-forward.However, as the bride-to-be, Oprah felt no joy about the wedding. Even if Alfred was enthusiastic about the wedd
Chapter 32The black Rolls-Royce Phantom raced along the road, while the atmosphere inside the car was heavy and tense.Burgess tightly gripped the steering wheel and pressed hard on the accelerator. He didn't look at Oprah, and Oprah remained silent without causing a scene, just sitting quietly in the passenger seat.After more than ten minutes, Burgess suddenly slammed on the brakes, stopping the car. Oprah instinctively leaned forward but was pulled back by her seatbelt, feeling her belly was getting pressed.“Burgess, what do you want? You endangered the baby!” Oprah said unhappily.Since the car had already stopped, she planned to get out of the car, but Burgess held her wrist, held her head, and pressed his lips against hers. His tongue forcefully prying open her teeth."Mmm..." Oprah was annoyed and tried to push Burgess away.Instead of stopping, Burgess became even more passionate and rough. He sucked on her tongue vigorously and nibbled on her soft lips.Suddenly, Oprah felt
Chapter 33Oprah had never felt so terrified before, but she should try to save the baby, so with all of her strength, she growled, "Burgess, you'll regret this later. Don’t do it, don’t!"She struggled with all her strength and tears streaming down her face. But Burgess remained composed and said, "I will never regret it.""Fine, fine. I lied, I lied to you!" Oprah's face was streaked with tears. She gave up struggling and gasped for breath, "This is your child. You can do a fetal DNA test right now if you don't believe me. Please don’t harm the baby."A crack finally appeared in Burgess's calm facade, and he walked up to Oprah, asking sharply, "Repeat it! Whose child is this?""Yours!" Oprah stared back at him firmly, her eyes filled with resentment. "Burgess, I haven't slept with any other man but you, you should believe me.""But those things you said before...""I was just angry that time since you don't believe me and carried away by the gossip outside. If you force me to have an
Chapter 34Narrowing his eyes through the car window, he appreciated the city's night view. But h his mind filled with her face, and her voice seemed to echo in his ears."That's enough. I'm fed up with you!""Burgess, let me make it clear to you right now, I don't like you, not even a bit. From now on, stop pestering me and looking for me. All of our agreement has been done, nothing left between us!""Burgess, you'll regret it!"“I hate you for the rest of my life!”A sharp pain suddenly gripped Burgess's throat, and his eyes turned red. Right, he did regret it.Yet, no matter how much he regretted it, there was no way he could bring Oprah back to life.Seeing Oprah's ashes was being brought back by Burgess, everyone in the villa who knew Oprah believed she was truly gone. They also pitied Burgess for it.Since that day, he even slept cradling the urn every night. It seemed he still couldn’t accept that Oprah had indeed left this world.Until one night, Burgess couldn't sleep anymore;
Chapter 35Manhattan hadn't changed much over the past six years, except for the prominent Zoey Nicholas posters on buildings everywhere.In these six years, Zoey had been living a high life. She wasn't just a pop star; she had become a top-tier actress in the entertainment industry.Oprah's gaze shifted away from the posters.An hour later, The car stopped in a villa complex called "Rose Mansion."The villa complex was peaceful, and the surroundings were picturesque even at night.After arriving at her residence, Oprah immediately called Sunny to check in her two sons."Sunny, where's Kaleb?" Oprah didn't see Kaleb and found it a bit strange.Sunny smiled and replied, "He's in his room reading. I'll go open the door."While most children his age struggled with reading, Kaleb was exceptionally bright and could understand books from various genres. Sometimes, he also talked about things like an adult.Oprah had heard Burgess's father, Old Mr. Harrison, mention that Burgess had been the
Chapter 36Before Oprah arrived, she had noticed the most luxurious and best-positioned private room for the auction upstairs.The room was designed with one-way glass – people outside couldn't see inside, but those inside could see the outside. That was why she had purposely chosen a seat in a spot visible from the room.Then, as if by chance, she looked up and gazed at the room upstairs. It was a fleeting glance, and her eyes remained calm and undisturbed.Inside the room, Burgess's assistant, Hardy, was dumbfounded. "Miss Oprah!"Hardy had always been Burgess's right-hand man and was naturally familiar with Oprah. He also knew how obsessed his boss, Burgess, had been with her over these six years.Suppressing the urge to rush down, Burgess gave instructions to Hardy, "Withdraw the bid.""Yes."Following the instructions from upstairs, the secretary below stopped bidding.The audience had initially expected to witness a lavish bidding war today but was shocked to see Burgess giving u
Chapter 98"Okay, don't worry. I have Angela here to help, and everything will be fine." Although Oprah didn't know what Alfred was doing, she knew the many dangers around him.After hanging up the phone, Alfred walked back to the room.The doctor immediately bandaged his bleeding arm.“It seems he is trying to kill you." The doctor looked at the bleeding wound on his arm, which was longer than a palm.Alfred looked calm and said with a pale face, "He thought I was still a pushover like in the past.""Mr. Alfred, will you tell your father?" the doctor asked.Alfred shook his head, "If he cared about me, he wouldn't have left me out there in Manhattan for many years.""Remember, we can't rely on anyone.The doctor nodded.But the more he treated Alfred's wound, the more shocked he became."Mr. Alfred, you can't appear in public during this time. It's too dangerous.""No. I need to go back to Manhattan." Alfred directly rejected him.The doctor knew that no one could change Alfred's deci
Chapter 97After he and his elder brother were born, Mommy had been taking care of them. How many times had they pooped and peed on her? He had just done it to their scumbag father once, and he couldn’t take it?Well, next time when his scumbag father came over, he would teach him a good lesson.With that in mind, Shaun didn't want to leave so soon.He couldn't have an operation right now, so he might as well take advantage of this time to rest at this scumbag’s expense and teach the latter a good lesson.Sitting in the car and thinking about the scene of being peed on just now, Burgess couldn't help rubbing his temples.He asked the bodyguard, "Where is Oprah now?""She’s still in the villa." The bodyguard replied.Burgess smelled himself and closed his eyes after confirming the smell was gone.After over an hour, the car drove slowly and stopped at the villa's entrance.Burgess got out of the car and went straight to the house. Soon, he heard the sound of playing the piano from insid
Chapter 96After returning from abroad, Oprah had done some homework. Men generally liked what they couldn't get quickly, and she thought she should play hard to get.Burgess looked at her sleepily.The woman hid under the quilt with her messy, long hair scattered on the bed. Her delicate face was hidden under her hair, making her look charming."What kind of fairness do you want?""When you come back, we'll write an agreement."Burgess choked.Agreement...What agreement did they need?Afraid that Oprah would not stay, he reluctantly said, "You write first."He would not accept what she wrote in the agreement if he did not like it.After Burgess changed his clothes, he got in the car and headed to W&G Manor.As soon as he arrived there, he saw Shaun lying on the bed with tears on his face."Uncle, you finally came to see me. Have you told my dad that you took me away?"How could he have told Alfred after taking his child away?Burgess raised his eyebrows, "He already knew this."The t
Chapter 95Thinking about this, she gradually fell asleep and didn't realize that Burgess had crossed the line and hugged her.At the same time, at Angela's home, after she hung up the phone, she didn't even know that all communications on her mobile phone were being monitored.In the room next to hers, Kaleb put down his earphones with worried eyes.No wonder Mommy had been in a bad mood recently. It turned out that Shaun was brought here by their scumbag father.The scumbag even asked Mommy to pay him so much money.10 billion! He was going to sell more news on the dark web...Thinking of this, Kaleb began to work hard to make money.W&G Manor was the private property of Burgess many years ago, hidden in the deep mountains and wild forests. Few people knew about this place.This place had the highest security equipment, and the entire manor and its surrounding area of two kilometers were monitored 24 hours a day.Without Burgess’s order, no one could go in or come out.Shaun was impr
Chapter 94It seemed that she hadn’t fully woken up from her drunkenness.Burgess glanced at her gently with dark eyes, took a sip of water, and then said, "10 billion."10 billion...Although Oprah has made some money over the years, the total amount might not be enough to reach 1 billion.She had invested in charity and donated 200 million.She decided that after that, she would write more songs, make more money, and no longer invest money in charity projects."That’s settled then. If I give you 10 billion, you will let me leave and stop interfering in my life."Facing such a talkative Oprah, Burgess was not happy at all. She was willing to spend a lot of money to leave him truly.Burgess thought of something and spoke again, "I’m telling you. You will stay here with me before you pay back all the money."“OK.”Half an hour later, Oprah returned to her room to rest.Burgess was still in the study.When Angela called Oprah, she was shocked to hear that Oprah would pay a sky-high price
Chapter 93She looked up drowsily and saw Burgess's handsome face."Why did you come?"When Oprah spoke, he could smell strong alcohol in her mouth.He frowned, "When did you learn to drink?"She had often gotten drunk after just one drink, but now he found many empty glasses on the bar counter.Oprah hadn't expected that he would ask about her drinking.She was stunned momentarily, then pretended to be careless, "Probably when I was in Denmark."Burgess’s throat tightened.At this moment, he realized that he had never understood her.He grabbed the wine glass from Oprah's hand and threw it aside."Let’s go home."Go home...Oprah's eyes were blurred.The evening wind was blowing on her, and it felt cold.She stood up staggeringly, ready to go out.But he picked her up with strong arms before she took a few steps. Her body was suspended, and she instinctively grabbed Burgess’s arm."Put me down. I can walk by myself." Oprah was a little flustered.Burgess didn't listen to her. He walke
Chapter 92The moment Roxanne saw her, she was stunned.Oprah hadn't known how to dress up in the past. Although she was pretty, she wasn't attractive enough. Now, she seemed to be different, and she looked so dazzling and beautiful... Was this her daughter?Oprah faced their strange gazes, ignored her mother, Roxanne, and went straight to Burgess and Zoey."Miss Zoey, I'm here to take Burgess home."Hearing her words, everyone present looked over."Isn't that Oprah, Mr. Burgess's wife?""She's Oprah? It's kind of interesting. She's his wife and even stepsister...""Even if the two are brother and sister, they are still husband and wife recognized by the pastor and the court. Now that Oprah is here, isn't Zoey the mistress?"Hearing the discussions, Zoey felt so embarrassed that her face flushed red.At this time, Burgess pulled her hand away, and his deep eyes fell on Oprah, "Why did you get down?"Oprah looked at him. It seemed the medicine hadn't kicked in yet."I saw that you drank
Chapter 91Oprah said nothing.Aaron had always been moody. She had already seen it through.She quickly applied the medicine, "Mr. Aaron, I finished it. Can I go now?"Facing her clear and alienated eyes, Aaron felt hurt."You just stay here. I promise I won't do anything to you, OK?" He tried his best to soften his voice.Oprah's eyes darkened momentarily, and she knew he wasn't a man of his word.But she had no choice. She was on his turf now, and he was Burgess's good friend. She definitely couldn't get away.Oprah didn't speak anymore and didn't ask to leave.Seeing that she was not going to leave, Aaron went to get some ointment, packed it, and handed it to her."After you return, remember to apply it three times a day, and there will be no scars."If it weren't for what he had done before, Oprah would think that he was a gentle, good doctor."Thank you." Oprah took the medicine.Aaron wanted to say something, but Burgess came over and interrupted their conversation."Let's go."
Chapter 90Burgess didn't take Oprah's words seriously.Oprah directly opened the car door and jumped out.At this time, the car was starting to move. She fell to the ground, and her hands and legs were scratched.But suddenly, a motorcycle rushed from behind, and it was too late to slow down. It was about to hit Oprah.Burgess almost didn't think much about it. He rushed out of the car and pulled her into his arms.The motorcycle went away. After he ensured the woman in his arms hadn't been hit, he angrily said, "Are you crazy?"Burgess's heart was pounding. When he found the bruises on her hands and legs, he dragged her back into the car and told the driver to go to the hospital.Sitting in the car, Oprah trembled with lingering fears. She had been too impulsive just now. She still had Kaleb and Shaun so she couldn't have an accident.Burgess said with a straight face, "Why are you angry?"Oprah felt a dull pain in her hands and legs and didn't answer.The car fell into dead silence
