Chapter 69At nine o'clock the following day, a piece of news made it to the trending topics."A-line actress Zoey made a fool of herself at the birthday party in the Harrison family. She bullied a child, stole others’ work, and was not welcomed by her future in-laws. She was kicked out of the house ten minutes after seeing her boyfriend’s parents."The news went viral online.At M.G Media Group, Zoey asked them to suppress the news quickly. But she didn't have as much power as Aaron, and the trending topic was still much discussed.Zoey could only go to Hardy, Burgess' assistant. After all, it was also about Burgess's reputation.Hardy told Burgess the news in the President's Office at Harrison Group, "Still not dealing with it?"Previously, Burgess always dealt with all kinds of entertainment news where Zoey was in it. But that was also because his father asked him to.But for today’s news, Harrison family was no longer want to defend her anymore."Whoever caused the trouble will dea
Chapter 70Then she felt a little regretful. It was an excellent opportunity to get close to Burgess if she lived here.But when she thought of the cold reception she had received in this house in the past, she wanted to escape quickly."Mr. Burgess, I'm in a state of amnesia right now, and it's not suitable for me to live with you. And I have a place to live, and I’ve been fine there."Burgess didn't believe that she had amnesia at all. She was still pretending.Perhaps because of the drive back, he was much calmer than before."Just for this reason?"Oprah nodded, "Yes."Burgess didn't believe it."We can sleep in separate rooms.""I don’t think it’s a good idea." Oprah paused, "I don't want to be gossiped about. Besides, I'm your sister in the name!"Be gossiped about?"So what?" Burgess looked casual.Burgess felt very upset when he thought about how she had been with Alfred Jeffery for four or five years since she disappeared."Are you afraid that Alfred Jeffery will hear some gos
Chapter 71She had met Angela once or twice, and Angela had a good relationship with Oprah. But she didn’t know Angela very well.When Kaleb saw her calling himself, he acted obediently, "Nice to see you."Seeing him so polite, Roxanne liked him even more. She left Elvis, walked to him, and squatted down to test, "Haven’t your parents come to pick you up yet?"Kaleb shook his head."How about I take you home?" Roxanne wanted to take this opportunity to get to know Angela, the daughter of the Johnson family."Thank you, but no need. I don't like to ride in a stranger's car." Kaleb said.Stranger...Roxanne froze, and she couldn't help feeling upset.She liked this child. She was about to say something else when Kaleb saw the car that came to pick him up and walked away from her.Seeing this, Roxanne secretly decided to come here more often in the future.After Kaleb left, she took Elvis into the car and asked him about Kaleb.At the same time, Kaleb was sitting in the car."Auntie, why
Chapter 72But now he was going to delegate power.It took Hardy a long time to react, "Yes, I'm going to recruit now."After Hardy left, Burgess read the document in front of him repeatedly, but all he could think of was Oprah.He was depressed.All these years, he had worked hard and made money day and night, but for what?He had just been using work to distract himself and keep himself busy!But what did he get in the end?He got Oprah's intentional forgetting and her abandonment...Thinking of this, Burgess tugged at his tie and decided to bring the child back himself.He was going to expose Oprah's fake amnesia in person!Then he was going to punish her and teach her a good lesson!Burgess was thinking wildly until the knock on the door interrupted him.He said, "Come in."The door of the office was pushed open from the outside.Oprah was wearing a light-colored dress today. She was standing outside, and her beautiful clear eyes met Burgess's deep eyes.Burgess subconsciously stra
Chapter 73Except for one person, no one would dare to challenge him.But that person wouldn't challenge him either.Aaron casually sat on the sofa in Burgess's office and lazily leaned back. "Indeed, no one dares to covet that position now. By the way, Burgess, I ran into Oprah earlier. What did she want from you?"Burgess noticed that whether in the past or now, Aaron paid particular attention to Oprah.This kind of attention wasn't just aversion. Many years later, Burgess understood that it wasn't aversion but fondness. It was a way to capture Oprah's attention. Aaron was now like those young boys who had just fallen in love. The more he liked a girl, the more he teased her."She asked me to accompany her to visit the disabled children we sponsor," Burgess said.Aaron knew he disliked attending these events the most and immediately offered, "I can go in your place."Burgess gave him a deep look."No need. I've promised her."A hint of disappointment flashed in Aaron's eyes, and he c
Chapter 74"Mr. Burgess, to be honest, you're outstanding and out of my league. I truly admire you."It was admiration, not affection.Burgess felt a lump in his throat. "So, you're saying you don't feel anything for me anymore?"He stood up, cornering Oprah against the wall, lowering his head to get closer to her.They were so close that they could hear each other breathing."Then who do you like? Is it Alfred, Alfred Jeffery? Why didn't he accompany you back?" Burgess pressed on with his questions.Panic surged through Oprah's heart.Why hadn't Burgess fallen asleep yet?"Mr. Burgess, I think you got something wrong."Burgess was unwilling to let her go.His hand caressed Oprah's slightly warm face. "You're gorgeous."Burgess leaned against her, breathing in her intoxicating scent, his eyes growing heavy with sleepiness. "Why didn't you tell me?"Oprah was confused.He used his free hand to wrap around her slender waist.He leaned in, and his chin rested on her slender shoulder."Why
Chapter 75The doctor had told him that his condition might be due to excessive mental stress and that he needed to relax and rest properly.But he couldn't rest; whenever he did, his mind would be filled with Oprah's words.After sitting alone in the car for a long time, he finally started and drove away.Today, Angela arranged to meet Oprah.She handed over all the evidence regarding the lawsuit against Zoey for Oprah to review.Oprah flipped through the pages, each piece of evidence solid.Surprisingly, there were chat logs and recordings of M.G Media Group's internal staff assisting Zoey in manipulating or pirating others' works."Who gave you all of this?""Kaleb gave it to me. He said Mr. Alfred asked him to," Angela replied.Oprah felt a pang of guilt.Over the years, Alfred had always been helping her deal with troubles.She owed him more and more."Now that Zoey has established herself so firmly, taking her down won't be easy. But your work will be reclaimed," Angela assured.
Chapter 76Though Shaun was exhausted, he wanted to chat longer with her."Mommy, do you love me?""Of course I do."Unlike his serious older brother, Shaun was particularly fond of acting cute."Then, when you come back, I want a real kiss. I'll even wear the new clothes for you to see and let you take photos.""Sure, I will be back as soon as possible."Seeing Shaun was not feeling well, Oprah chatted with Sunny before hanging up the phone.Later, she opened the hidden album on her phone, flipping through photos of Kaleb and Shaun from their childhood, feeling sad.In this world, the person she owed the most was her son, Shaun...If it wasn't for her illness and the medication she took while pregnant, Shaun wouldn't have had to stay in an incubator right after birth.Later on, he spent more time in the hospital than at home.Yet, he remained remarkably optimistic. Whether it was undergoing treatments or taking medication and shots, he never cried.Whenever she kissed his forehead, he
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
