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
Her heart ached for him, but she couldn't admit it.Sonnet smacked her lips and replied, "I don't feel sorry for him! I'm mainly afraid that the company will be in chaos without CEO Strombold!""Alright, alright. Your CEO Brooks is very capable. Zachary is not around. He has the energy to manage the company well!" Juliette waved her hand and said.Sonnet smiled innocently and didn't say anything. She had no choice. Married people were the most important!The four chatted and laughed as they ate hotpot. The atmosphere was very good.Sonnet ate spicy food and drank a lot. After a while, she got up to go to the washroom.As she reached the bathroom, she suddenly saw a familiar figure from afar. She took a closer look and was a little surprised. She didn't expect to see Yves Yates when she came to eat hotpot!Yves had just come out of the washroom and was walking towards the private room with her back facing her. She didn't see Sonnet, so Sonnet didn't greet her.She thought that Y
A few days later, Sonnet unexpectedly received a call from Monica, inviting her for lunch.Sonnet was a little surprised. Monica had never asked her out for a meal alone. Furthermore, their relationship had not reached this stage. Something must have happened.In the afternoon, she went to the restaurant that she had agreed to. Monica had already arrived. She had put on some makeup and looked good."Second Aunt, why did you ask me out for a meal today? Is there something good?" Sonnet sat opposite and asked with a smile.Monica smiled. "You don't say. Today's matter is really a good thing. Come, come, come. Order your food first. Second Aunt will treat you today!"Ever since Will fell ill, Monica had started to be stingy, but now she took the initiative to treat her. This made Sonnet very curious about what good thing she had.Sonnet got Monica to order the food. While waiting for the food, Monica could not help but say, "I called you here to tell you something big!""What is it
"It's the Brooks family's rule! To prevent the Brooks family's descendants from messing around with men and women outside and affecting the operation of Brooks Corporation, the old man specially set a rule. That is, if you're not the Brooks family's legitimate son, you can't control Brooks Corporation."If Matteo is an illegitimate child, then he has to hand over the power of the CEO. Not only that, but he also has to give up shares in Brooks Corporation! Because according to the old man's rules, Winston can't pass shares to him!"Monica held Sonnet’s hand as she spoke. "Your Second Uncle and I have limited abilities, so I told you about this. Go back and discuss this with Maxwell. Investigate this matter properly. If you can confirm that Matteo isn't a legitimate child, Maxwell can openly ask Matteo to hand over the shares! At that time, Maxwell will be the head of Brooks Corporation!"At this point, she paused and smiled innocently. "We're not greedy for providing you with such be
