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 77In the late night hours.Four well-trained bodyguards stood guard outside the Danish hospital's VIP ward.They patrolled back and forth to prevent strangers from approaching Shaun's room.Suddenly, all the lights in the hospital corridor went out.Before they realized what had happened, a group of dark-clad, trained bodyguards covered their mouths, knocked them unconscious, and dragged them away.All of this happened in less than a minute.The hospital's surveillance system was also disabled. When the lights came back on, Burgess had already carried the boy from the hospital bed.Inside the black luxury car.Burgess looked at the little boy lying on the bed, his sleep troubled, occasionally furrowing his brows.Burgess raised his hand and placed it gently on the boy's forehead.At that moment, Shaun slowly opened his eyes. His obsidian-like pupils mirrored Burgess's exactly.When he saw the man, he didn't panic at all. He looked around and realized he was in a car.Without t
