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
Chapter 78Beside him, Burgess opened his eyes and asked, "It still hurts?"Shaun didn't expect Burgess to be awakened by him so easily."No, it doesn't hurt anymore. Thank you, Uncle."Uncle! Uncle!Burgess didn't feel so great hearing that.He looked deeply at the child before him and asked, "What's your name?"Shaun didn't hesitate."Shaun Jeffery."Shaun Jeffery...The surname Jeffery...Burgess's expression darkened even more.Shaun knew that Burgess had likely found some information about him and his mom when he kidnapped him.But he was sure that Burgess hadn't managed to uncover all the information so quickly.Otherwise, why would he be asking for his name?Alfred had hidden their identities – his, his brother's, and his Mommy's – very well.Seeing him silent, Shaun innocently asked, "Uncle, isn't my name nice? My dad gave it to me, you know.""The surname Jeffery sounds cool, doesn't it?"Cool?Burgess found that whenever this little guy felt better, he'd find ways to annoy hi
Chapter 79She also understood that Angela got arrested because of her."No need to apologize. It's not your fault.""Burgess is such a scumbag. I posted so much evidence online. Is he blind? Why does he still protect that bitch?""I don't understand. What's so good about her? Why did all those men defend her so unthinkingly?"Oprah gently hugged her, not knowing what to say.Because whether it was in the past when she married Burgess or now, he was always on Zoey's side.Even when Zoey was in the wrong.Angela knew that Oprah was the one hurting the most now."Oprah, don't be sad. He's just a jerk. He doesn't deserve you."Oprah felt a lump in her throat."I'm not sad. I am over him.""Angela, don't worry. I'll come pick you up tomorrow."Angela knew that Oprah was probably going to see Burgess. She held onto her hand, "Oprah, you don't have to do that for me. It's just staying here for seven days. I'm not afraid.""Don't worry."After Oprah left, she took a taxi, and when she opened
Chapter 80Seeing Burgess remain silent, Oprah felt a lump in her throat."I'm apologizing not because the rumors online are false but because I must. If you're unwilling to let it go, that's fine too. As long as you are okay with it."She finished her words and was ready to leave, preparing to find another solution.Enduring the dizziness, Burgess grabbed Oprah's wrist."I didn't say I wouldn't help you."Oprah suddenly felt a lump in her throat and looked up at him without saying a word.Burgess felt like she was almost driving him to madness."I didn't know she was your friend. I'll contact the legal department."He tightened his grip on Oprah's hand. "Did you come here for this matter?"Oprah was puzzled. What else could it be?If it weren't for Angela, she wouldn't have come here.Burgess chuckled self-deprecatingly. A moment ago, he wondered if Oprah had had a change of heart. He thought maybe she found out about the child and came to care for him out of guilt.But he didn't expe
Chapter 81When she hung up the phone, her body was still trembling.Oprah stood in the rain for a long time before calming herself.She walked back to the villa.Tall and lean, Burgess stood not far away, holding a glass of wine in his hand."I said only five minutes."He looked at Oprah and noticed that she was drenched, looking like she had lost her soul.Alfred must have told her about the child.Burgess downed the contents of the glass and set it down casually. Then, he picked up a towel and approached Oprah."You don't know how to take cover from the rain? How did you survive abroad for the last six years?"As he spoke, he wiped her hair with the towel.Even he couldn't believe he was acting this way.Oprah's face was pale, and she clenched her fists slightly. "Where is my child?"Burgess said, "A very safe place."In her breakdown, Oprah said with red eyes, "Give him back to me!"Burgess's hand paused."Before I give him back, I have a question."He felt a lump in his throat, an
Chapter 82After a prolonged silence, Burgess came to the balcony alone and lit a cigarette again.He couldn't suppress his coughing in the cold wind, and his eyes had turned red without him noticing.He didn't know why he chose to keep Oprah in this way.Perhaps it was because he didn't want to give up.He couldn't believe she was dead. He couldn't accept that he had spent six years searching for her, only to find out she was with another man.He couldn't accept that the girl he had loved for over a decade was choosing to leave him.Thinking about all this, Burgess extinguished his cigarette and walked back into the ward, his body emanating a cold aura."Let's go back home."Home...Oprah felt somewhat bewildered. Did she even have a home anymore?They got into the car.As Burgess drove, he couldn't stop coughing.Oprah paid no attention and stared out the window as raindrops slid down.Perhaps genuine indifference is what it feels like now when you don't love.Burgess looked at the r
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
