Chapter 50“Thanks. Alright, it’s already late. Your son will get angry if he knew we sleep too late, right? So, we better sleep right now.”“Yeah.” With a heavy heart, Oprah retired to the guest room, failing to get some sleep.All the time, she couldn't help but feel envious of Angela's reciprocated love.Reflecting on her own life, she realized that she had never truly experienced love in the past twenty-some years.In daze, Burgess' earlier words resonated in Oprah's mind. He had mentioned taking her somewhere the following day.In response, Oprah messaged him. "Mr. Burgess, I have something to do tomorrow morning, so I can only meet you in the afternoon."She then set her phone to silent mode and placed it aside.Unbeknownst to Oprah, Burgess was still awake.He stared blankly at her text message. Frustrated, he threw his phone aside without replying.***Meanwhile, at the Harrison mansion, the family received news of Oprah's survival.Roxanne couldn't believe her ears, but simult
Chapter 51The receptionist glanced at Oprah and informed her, "Miss Angela, your appointment is scheduled for nine o'clock. It's currently 8:47, so you'll have to wait until Miss Cathy finishes her blind date before entering."At that moment, Oprah grasped the concept of this blind date. Turned out, it was for the man to choose. Furthermore, the entire Italian restaurant had been reserved exclusively for this occasion.However, it was quite strange for her. The Johnson family was known for their influence and prestige in the city. But the date the man arranged for Angela required her to wait in line.So, how influential was that man actually?However, while initially taken aback, Oprah was aware such practices were commonplace among the powerful and influential in Manhattan who discreetly moved to this city.Good! The way suited her, as she could swiftly complete the blind date and depart later.Within ten minutes, another rejected socialite emerged, and her heart shattered.With an a
Chapter 52Smith also wanted to confront Eric, but Eric's previous kick prevented him from standing up. After all, he had been pampered since he was young and had never experienced such grievances.He got up and cursed under his breath, "I'll bring my men and make sure they won't leave unscathed."Unexpectedly, before he could finish speaking, Aaron slowly approached him. His sharp eyes were filled with coldness. "What did you do to her just now?"Since Smith was too dumb to understand the situation, he still dared to answer, "That bitch..."But before he could finish his sentence, several bodyguards didn't hesitate to throw punches at him, and soon he was knocked to the floor, spitting blood.Unfortunately, Smith didn't even know what mistake he had made.These men around fell silent as well.Aaron looked down at him coldly and asked his assistant, "What did he do?"The assistant truthfully reported the man's attempt to humiliate Oprah."Then he can say goodbye to his hands." Aaron no
Chapter 53Burgess could no longer hold back his anger. He grabbed Oprah's arm and took her outside, "Let me make it clear whether you're single or not."Burgess dragged Oprah into the car.He used a lot of force. So, when he let go, Oprah's arm felt numb and painful.As the car door slammed shut, the vehicle sped along the main road, making Oprah couldn't help but feel afraid.She didn't know where Burgess was taking her. But gradually, she realized something was wrong.Although it had been six years, she recognized this road. Just a little further ahead was the villa where he had once imprisoned her.Oprah felt nervous and got panic attack, her hand by her side tightened slightly, with her fingertips sinking into her palm.Burgess noticed her expression, a cruel smile appearing at the corner of his mouth as he said slowly, "Didn't you say you have intermittent amnesia and don't remember many people and things? Why do you seem remember this place, then?"Oprah didn’t answer, she repea
Chapter 54Zoey still remembered what Old Thomas had said to her. "I don't care who Aaron dates, but there's no way a stage actress like you can be part of the Thomas family. If you shamelessly seduce Aaron into marrying you, I won't mind making him a widower."The threat weighed heavily on Zoey's mind. She knew just how ruthless old Thomas could be, that was why she decided to be part of Harrison family instead of Thomas.On the other side, Kaleb, waiting for the opportune moment, suddenly realized that both his disgraceful father's family and the woman his father was interested in were present at the banquet.He furrowed his brows, realizing he had acted too hastily in seeking revenge for his mother.Although he had checked that Aaron would be here, he failed to realize that it was the Harrison family hosting the banquet.However, now that he was already here, he wouldn't leave without doing anything. Moreover, he didn’t notice Burgess’s present at that moment, so it would be better
Chapter 55It seemed like a childish act, something only a child would do.A child...Aaron thought of that innocent-looking masked kid who had served him drinks.His expression darkened.Could this be a consequence of his past promiscuity?"I'll send our men to investigate," the assistant offered anxiously."Wait!" Aaron halted him. "No need to do that for a childish act.”If it was indeed his illegitimate child, they would surely reveal themselves soon. He couldn't openly search for them, as it might reach old Thomas' ears and not work to his advantage.Although the assistant was puzzled, he nodded.Then the assistant continued, "Sir, I found out what you asked me to investigate this morning. Angela, the daughter of the Johnson family, and Oprah were college classmates. Angela went abroad after graduation but returned to the country shortly after Oprah did. According to my findings, Angela has feelings for someone from her year named Warren. I suspect her reason for involving Oprah i
Chapter 56After breakfast, the driver took the three of them to the kindergarten.With Angela's help, Kaleb quickly completed the enrollment procedures and could start school that day."Mommy, Auntie Angela, please go ahead with your works. I'll pay attention in class," Kaleb assured them.Upon hearing this, Angela pointed to a short-haired boy sitting in the classroom not far away, “Anyway that's my nephew, Jimmy Johnson. I've already told him to look out for you. If any other kids bully you, go find him."A spark of excitement flashed in Kaleb's beautiful eyes. "Sure, thanks Auntie."While Oprah and Angela were packing up his belongings in the morning, Kaleb had already taken the opportunity to explore the place.He discovered that one of the kids named Elvis Harrison was a great-grandson of the Harrison family and the grandson of Burgess's eldest uncle.He was that scumbag's cousin's son!It seemed that Burgess really doted on his nephew. Humph, Kaleb would definitely cause annoyan
Chapter 57"Because I am a member of the Harrison Group, the future heir of the Harrison Group!" Elvis said arrogantly, emphasizing the reputation of the Harrison Group that was well-known throughout Manhattan.“So?”Elvis a little bit shocked to hear that. But he was from Denmark, so it was normal if he wasn’t aware."If you offend me, both you and your parents will face difficulties. Just so you know, this school is backed by my family. If I tell you to leave, you must leave," Elvis threatened.Kaleb raised an eyebrow. How did he not realize earlier that his unreliable father wanted to hand over the company to his nephew?"Oh."Thinking that Kaleb agreed, Elvis became smug.But then, Kaleb calmly stated, "I'm not leaving."This immediately infuriated Elvis.Unable to control his temper, he raised his foot, ready to kick Kaleb. However, Kaleb quickly glanced at him and skillfully blocked the attack.While abroad, Kaleb had learned martial arts specifically so that he could protect his
