Matteo frowned so hard that he could squeeze a fly to death. He had had enough of Yvonne’s moral kidnapping!"Is your suffering for me? Or because the man you found is not good for you!""If it wasn't for you, why would I stay and let your father bully me?" Yvonne wiped her tears.Matteo sneered. "You stayed for me? Isn't it because you can't bear to part with the good life my Dad gave you?"He stood up and looked down at Yvonne. "Yvonne Thomas, Dad has already been arrested. I think we should make some things clear."Don't keep saying how much you love your son. We both know very well that we're not biological mother and son at all!"When I was young, whenever you were beaten by Dad, you would vent your anger on me. You abused me mentally! When I was young, I could only let you torture me. When I grew up, you knew that you couldn't beat me, so you started to use soft tactics. You used the excuse of loving your son to control me and used all kinds of morality to kidnap me. You ev
Matteo snorted. "What's 30%? Sooner or later, I'll become the person at the top of Brooks Corporation!"Yvonne stared at him and felt a chill run down her spine.In the past, Matteo had always been tolerant of her, and she had never seen him so unruly. Today, after falling out with him, she suddenly felt that Matteo was much more terrifying than she’s ever seen him."Did you quietly acquire shares from somewhere?" she couldn't help asking.Matteo smiled coldly. "This has nothing to do with you, right?"As he spoke, he walked to the office door and grabbed the handle. "Mom, it's getting late. I still have a lot of work to do. Please go home first!"Without waiting for Yvonne to answer, he opened the door.The assistant was sitting outside. Yvonne couldn't say anything else and could only stomp her feet and leave.After she disappeared into the elevator, Matteo closed the door, walked to the window, and made a call. "Hello, I need you to do something…"---Sonnet heard about Yv
The renovation captain hung up, but a few minutes later, he called again. "Mrs. Brooks, when we were moving the cabinet, an old photo fell from the compartment under the cabinet!""Old photo? What kind?""It's all black and white. There's a family photo or something. It looks like it's at least a few decades old. It's in a photo album.""Oh, okay. Then help me put the photo album away. I'll go get it after work."Since it was an old black-and-white photo, she thought it was probably very precious. She should bring the photo album back as soon as possible.She called Maxwell and asked him to pick her up after work. Then they went to the Old Pine Manor to get the album.Maxwell arrived on time and they drove to the Old Pine Manor."What photo album?" Maxwell asked on the way."I'm not sure. The renovation captain said it fell out of the compartment under the old cabinet.""There's a compartment in the old cabinet?" Maxwell was a little surprised.Sonnet looked at him. "You don'
It was a photo of two beautiful girls with identical looks!Seeing Maxwell’s expression change slightly, Sonnet asked, "Do you know these two women?""It's my mother," Maxwell said in a deep voice.Sonnet exclaimed and looked at the photo again.It was almost impossible to tell who was who from the looks of these two women. If one had to say something different, it was that the woman on the left seemed gentler, and the other more stern.However, if one did not carefully compare such a small difference, one would probably not be able to tell."Which one is your mother?" she asked Maxwell.Maxwell shook his head.Sonnet looked at him in surprise. Even if others couldn't tell, her biological son should be able to, right? Why…Puzzled, Maxwell continued, "I didn't even know that my mother had a twin sister!"In that era, there were no photo manipulation tools. This photo should be real.Sonnet was even more shocked. "Why? Didn't your mother tell you?"Maxwell shook his head vig
Maxwell asked Carter to investigate his mother's past. After a few days, there was a reply. Sonnet happened to be there, so they listened together."Madam's father, Old Master Yates, was the one who started the business with Sir Brooks in the beginning. Old Master Yates helped Sir Brooks a lot. When the Brooks Corporation was slightly better, Old Master Yates independently opened his own business and did well in Harbor City."At that time, the Brooks Corporation and the Yates Corporation were two famous companies in Harbor City. Unfortunately, good times didn't last long. When Madam was about 20 years old, the Yates Corporation's father was suddenly involved in a political corruption incident. Old Master Yates committed suicide, and the Yates Corporation quickly closed down. Old Madam Yates and Madam Yates's whereabouts were unknown."On account of his relationship with Old Master Yates back then, Sir Brooks had been looking for Madam and Old Madam Yates. However, transportation and
"Even the board of directors acknowledges Matteo‘s ability. Besides, what Fourth Uncle did has nothing to do with him," Sonnet replied with a smile.Monica waved her hand. "What do you mean it has nothing to do with him? Don't look at how he's always smiling and good-tempered. He's very scheming! When your Second Uncle held the power of the Brooks family, he often came to your Second Uncle's side. He's good at bootlicking and often sends things to your Second Uncle. As a result, your Second Uncle treats him better than his own son."Sonnet listened with a smile and did not comment.Monica's words might be biased. After all, her son was not capable, and her daughter was not talented. It was not impossible for her to slander the capable Matteo."As the saying goes, dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes. The son of a rat knows how to dig holes. Fourth Brother is a two-faced person. He has the same face in front of people and the same face behind people. His son might have learne
"I think so. The first time I saw them, they were holding hands and looking very loving.""What happened after that? I heard that my mother-in-law fell seriously ill not long after she gave birth to Maxwell?""I'm not sure about the details. I only heard some gossip from the servants. They said that First Madam was sick. At that time, your father-in-law accompanied her in the hospital for a month. After she was discharged, I rarely saw her. At that time, we hadn't split up and ate together every day. Although we weren't particularly close to Ruth previously, we could at least see her every day during dinner and chat a little."But ever since she came back from the hospital, she no longer came out to eat with everyone. Your Second Uncle once asked Boss what was wrong with his wife. Boss said that she was weak after giving birth and couldn't be exposed to the wind."But I don't think it's that simple, because I realized that she doesn't seem to care much about the child anymore. I of
A few days later, Sonnet received a call from Maxwell. "I'll pick you up for dinner tonight.""Eh? What's the occasion today? Are we going out for a meal?" Sonnet asked with a smile."It's not a good day for us. It's a good day for Zachary and Juliette," Maxwell replied with a smile.Sonnet exclaimed. "Why? They're married? There wasn't any news before this!""Ask them yourself when you see them tonight. I can't be bothered with them. I get angry every day when I see them showing off their affection. I'm going to work overtime for Zachary soon!" Maxwell pretended to be angry, but there was a smile in his voice.Before going off work, Sonnet put on some light makeup. After all, she was attending a grand occasion, so she had to pay more attention to it.Who knew that Maxwell would take her to a hotpot restaurant? When she entered the small private room, she saw only Zachary and Juliette waiting inside."Why are there only the two of you?" Sonnet was greatly surprised.Even if it
