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
Chapter 58"Burgess found me today and inquired about the child. I'm worried he will discover the truth and attempt to take my children away," Oprah confessed honestly.After a brief pause, comforting words flowed from the other end of the line. "Don't worry. I have altered Kaleb and Shaun's birth dates. I have also manipulated the DNA test reports to conceal their true parentage from Burgess."Oprah realized she had briefly succumbed to panic. "That's… good to hear.""Don’t worry, Oprah. With me by your side, no one can separate you from Shaun and Kaleb."Behind Alfred, a group of executives awaited his conclusion of the call so they could resume the meeting in the conference room.However, after hanging up, Alfred felt a hint of reluctance. He directly instructed his assistant, "Keep a close watch on Shaun. Under no circumstances should Burgess's men locate him."Recently, he had discovered probing into Oprah's past occurring here. It surprised him that Burgess possessed such power t
Chapter 59Following the time indicated on the invitation, Oprah had the driver take her to the opera house in the evening.Upon arrival, she noticed numerous social elites and media personnel present. Some of her former high school classmates were there as well.Zoey had booked the entire music hall and exhibition halls of the opera house, allowing only invited guests to enter.Oprah entered with her invitation and was assigned a seat with a broad view. From here, she could see most of the venue.Initially, she didn't grasp Zoey's intentions until she spotted a familiar figure just before the performance began.Burgess had actually come and was seated in the front row.With Burgess's presence, the media flocked to report on Zoey, and all the news was positive.The affluent classmates who used to look down on Oprah now sought to get close to Burgess, but they couldn't penetrate his entourage of bodyguards.Suddenly, a respectful bodyguard approached Oprah. "Miss Oprah, the CEO would li
Chapter 60With a "Hmm" sound, Burgess leaned back in his chair and massaged his temples.Denmark!He never expected that Oprah had been living there all these years.No wonder he hadn't been able to find her despite searching for several years.Today, observing Oprah's unusual behavior, he became more convinced that she was hiding something from him. So, he ordered Hardy, “Find out anything related to Oprah in Denmark, whether it's an affair or whatever it is.”“Yes, Sir.”Meanwhile, Oprah had just finished talking to her children on the phone when she received a call from Zoey."I'm outside your place. Can we meet?" Outside the residence, Zoey stood next to a chauffeur-driven car.As Oprah went out, Zoey walked towards Oprah and glanced around."This place is really grand, and the surroundings are excellent," Zoey commented with a hidden meaning.Oprah posed the question, "Did you come to see me just to discuss the house?""Certainly not." Zoey took a step closer to Oprah and replied
Chapter 61If Oprah were to sue, it would be an international case, which was not easy to fight."Are you saying that we should just let her go like that?" Angela was really upset.Oprah strolled to the balcony, gazing at the endless view outside. Parting her crimson lips slightly, she replied, "It's not a matter of letting her go. We need to wait for the time when we have substantial evidence, preferably something that can deal a fatal blow."Oprah was not someone who settled for less. But she also understood the importance of acting cautiously.With a sigh, Angela said, "Alright, I'll gather the evidence first.""Sorry, it's going to increase your workload again," Oprah remarked."No problem. It's been a while since I had a legal battle with someone," Angela chuckled.She knew this situation was the hardest for Oprah, that was why Angela wanted to help her. After all, that song was the result of Oprah’s hard work, so Angela couldn’t let anyone easily snatched it.After Angela finishe
Chapter 62Kaleb didn't believe it, "But I heard that the current boss of the Harrison family is your uncle Burgess."Elvis was furious, "My uncle doesn't have a son. My mother said that he has problems and can't have children."Then he lowered his voice, "My mother also said that when my uncle dies, his inheritance will belong to me.""Oh." Kaleb looked thoughtful. He wondered what his scum father would think when he heard this.Elvis raised his eyebrows, "Kaleb, as long as you follow me, I will keep you safe and comfortable."He probably had learned this from his mother or TV. So, Kaleb didn't take it seriously, pretending not to believe it."You’re bragging? The Harrison family is so big. I don't believe it's yours. Your uncle Burgess is so young now and will definitely have children. I saw the news. He and that female star Zoey are getting married. Zoey will give him a boy as soon as they get married. You will not be the most beloved child of the Harrison family then."Hearing Kale
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
