Malcolm shook his head. "He might have jumped in from outside.""Then find property management and security. Find the cat!""They did. They didn't find the black cat's final whereabouts on the camera. It's probably a stray cat that snuck in from outside.""No master! Without a master, I can't ask them for compensation! What bad luck!"Sonnet hurriedly comforted her. "Don't be angry, Second Aunt. It's not worth it to be angry."Monica thought of something and glanced at her son and husband. She leaned close to Sonnet and asked, "Have you told Maxwell what I told you yesterday?""Maxwell had something on at the company yesterday and was back late. He left early in the morning, so I didn't have the time to tell him. He's busy these few days. Let's wait for two days. It won't make a difference. We have to discuss this matter properly," Sonnet said perfunctorily.Under the gaze of these people, if she said that Maxwell didn't want to pursue Matteo Brooks, she would probably be killed
Jaybie looked up at Sonnet with sparkling eyes. "Mommy doesn't know? The genes of twins are inherited. That's why Mommy gave birth to me and my sister together! Although Dad doesn't have a twin, he has the genes of twins!"Only when he said that did Sonnet realize what he meant.Thinking about it, it made sense. When she gave birth to the twins, she felt very lucky. It turned out that it was just luck. There was a reason."Mom, who's my grandma?" Jaybie asked again.Sonnet shook her head. "I don't know either."Jaybie widened his eyes and looked at her. "Daddy doesn't know either?""That's right. Dad didn't even know that your grandmother had a twin sister." Sonnet told Jaybie the truth.Although Jaybie was young, he was someone who could discuss things. He often made discoveries that adults did not notice."How could this be?" Jaybie stroked his chin and looked like he was in deep thought.Sonnet couldn't help but laugh when she saw his actions. He was becoming more and more
After tearing it open, Sonnet realized that the cover was indeed two layers. With another layer sandwiched in between!Jaybie placed the gap between the layers in front of him and peeked inside with one eye. "There's a small card!"He held up the photo album and slapped it hard. After a while, a black metal piece fell out from the cover. There was also a piece of paper that came out with it. Half of it was still inside the cover.Sonnet picked up the metal piece and saw that it was thin and long. The front looked a little like a key."Eh? What's this?" Jaybie opened the paper and looked at it.Sonnet looked at the paper in his hand and saw that there was a string of English words and numbers written on it."I don't know what it is, either," she said, after a moment’s thought. She had no clue."Daddy will definitely know what it is. We'll wait for him to come back." Jaybie folded the paper according to the original creases, then took the metal piece and put the two together in th
"Why?""Because she thinks there's a secret in the Old Pine Manor.""What secret?""When Grandpa passed away, he specified to leave the Old Pine Manor to me, so she felt that Grandpa must have left something good for me in the house. At that time, I was pretending to be stupid. She was certain that a fool like me would definitely not find that thing in the Old Pine Manor, so she wanted to buy the house and slowly search for it, but she couldn't find it either.""Then what's in this offshore bank?" Sonnet was extremely curious.Maxwell smiled. "If I'm not wrong, it should be the 10% share certificate of Brooks Corporation.""Shares?""That's right. The Brooks Corporation was founded by my grandfather. He held 70% of the shares, and the remaining 30% was split by the other three old ministers who worked with him. When my grandfather passed away, he made a will and gave his three sons and me 15% of the shares each."Because I'm stupid, Grandpa was afraid that I would be bullied, s
Mrs. Wilson replied with a smile, "I'm from the same hometown as Mrs. Cain of the Pine family. We've been in contact occasionally. She especially called me today and told me that Mrs. Pine has started to look at the wedding gowns. It's probably settled.""Lindy, why didn't you tell us about such a huge matter?" Sonnet asked loudly.Lindy rubbed her hair. "I came here today to tell you and my mother about this!"Sophia was excited. "What do you mean? The parents should meet each other first, right?""Yes, Auntie," Marcus answered on Lindy’s behalf. "You need to meet, but don't worry. Lindy and I will arrange it. When the time comes, you and Uncle just need to meet. You don't have to worry about anything else."Sophia touched her face and clothes. "Sigh, I'm really nervous to see my future in-laws!""I'm here!" Myles held her hand and said.Sophia looked like she was comforted.The others at the table felt like they had been fed dog food."Sophia, don't worry. Mrs. Pine and Old
Jaybie replied, "The woman in the photo looks a little like Grandma. It's probably because I've seen her before that I feel like I've seen Grandma somewhere before.""The woman in the photo…" Sonnet was stunned for a moment before reacting. She immediately became excited. "You mean Yves Yates?""I don't know her name, but we met in the restaurant that time!"Sonnet nodded repeatedly as if something in her heart had suddenly lit up.No wonder she felt that her mother-in-law looked familiar. It turned out that Yves looked a little like her!She didn't think so before, but after hearing what Jaybie said and looking at Yves’ photo, she felt that she did look a little like her mother-in-law!She thought of something and looked at Maxwell excitedly. "When we went to Eternal Jewelry's new product launch, didn't you also say that you saw Yves for the first time? She looks a little like your mother!"Maxwell nodded heavily. "Indeed, but if you look closely, your facial features don't loo
She had seen Yves up close and felt that her face was very natural. There were no traces of medical beauty at all."A top-notch medical hospital can do it very naturally and scientifically. Of course, it will also be very expensive," Lindy replied."A top-notch hospital…" Maxwell murmured softly.After Lindy and Marcus left, Maxwell Brooks went into the study to make a call. "I asked you to investigate Yves Yates previously. How's the investigation going?""We haven't found anything yet," Carter answered. "Either there's nothing wrong with her, or her background is too good. I'll send her specific background information to your email. Take a look.""Check the top medical and beauty hospitals and see if there are any plastic surgery records of her," Maxwell said.Carter acknowledged.After a few days, Carter replied, "I didn't find any records of her in the medical and beauty hospitals in the country.""Can't you find anything in China or overseas?""CEO Brooks, this… There are
For some reason, he felt that there was something wrong with Yves, but he could not say why!Maxwell leaned back in his chair tiredly and rubbed his temples.Zachary hadn't been around in the past few days. He had a lot of work to do and was already tired. Now that it involved his mother's matter, he was even more tired.He closed his eyes and began to recall bits and pieces of his past with his mother. Although many years were almost empty, the remaining memories of his childhood were still very warm.In a daze, he heard his mother's voice beside his ear. He looked up in surprise and saw his mother sitting beside him.Her smile was so bright, and her gaze was so gentle. She reached out and rubbed his head. "My Maxwell is so smart!"Maxwell’s heart skipped a beat. He lowered his head and looked at his hand. His hand had become the size of a child. He touched his face again. It had also become smaller and soft. Had he become a child?As she was thinking, she saw her mother, Ruth
The young ladies below gathered together and discussed animatedly. As they spoke, they covered their mouths and laughed.Young Master Gunnnn didn't care what others said about him at all. He only focused on the bouquet in Sonnet's hand.Not only Sonnet's bonnet but also Lindy's and Zyra's. He wanted them all.Lindy was waiting beside Sonnet. When she saw Hayden's focused expression, she couldn't help but laugh. "Why? Hayden hasn't successfully won over Suki yet?"Sonnet smiled and replied, "That's right. It's said that every time Suki agreed to register their marriage the next day, someone would die the next day. Later on, Suki didn't let him talk about registering their marriage.""Young Master Gunn is really infatuated!" Zyra sighed.Lindy rolled her eyes at her. "He's not infatuated at all. Among those men, he's the most flirtatious. Zyra, you don't know what Hayden was like in the past. He went to the nightclub almost every night and changed his girlfriend every week! He boas
Sonnet never expected her father to be the son of a wealthy family in North City!More than twenty years ago, he met her mother, Leah Turner, and they fell in love. Leah was a female university student from a rural area. There was a huge disparity in family status, and the Turner family did not agree to this marriage.Myles’ mother had passed away early, and his stepmother did not treat him well. Therefore, when Myles was angry with his father because of Leah, she added fuel to the fire, causing father and son to fall out.Myles severed his ties with the Turner family and returned to his hometown with Leah, becoming a language teacher in the village.Not only that, but Sonnet also knew that Myles had studied under Mr. Oddie when he was in North City. Back then, his pen name was Mr. Edelweiss. In other words, the Everglow that Sonnet gave Will Brooks was painted by him!Some time ago, Will needed money so he sold the Everglow painting on the market. Coincidentally, a collector from
"What's going on?" Sonnet asked.Zyra held Sonnet's hand. "Actually, we're family."Sonnet was puzzled, but Logan smiled and said, "Zyra is Shay's biological aunt. The test results are out today, proving that she is indeed related to Little Shay!""Ah… What's going on?" Sonnet was very surprised.Zyra held her hand and explained, "Before my mother passed away, she told me something. She said that I had a biological sister. Three days after she was born, she was secretly carried away and sold by my patriarchal grandmother. Later, my mother was pregnant with me and never said anything for so many years. She only told me this before she passed away."She said that she asked around later and said that my biological sister was sold to Harbor City. This was also why I chose to accept the designer position at Eternal Jewelry back then. I always wanted to fulfill my mother's dream before she passed away and find my sister in my lifetime.Back then, when I saw Yasmin Finch's photo, I susp
Hayden immediately became alert. "You're too tired. Rest first. I'll pick you up for supper."Suki didn't refuse. He immediately drove off.There were no cars in the middle of the night, so he arrived in ten minutes. After calling Suki, she came out in less than two minutes. She looked very tired as if she couldn't even walk.Hayden immediately went out to open the door for her. As soon as she got in, she leaned against the back of the seat and sighed."Are you tired?" Hayden asked."That's right. We went to the scene first and then dissected it without stopping. The corpse this time was a little complicated. We didn't even have time to eat."Hayden's heart ached when he heard her words. He quickly handed her the supper. "Hurry up and eat some."Suki didn't take it. "I don't have much of an appetite now. Let's eat later. I'll rest for a while."Hayden started the car. "Take a few bites first. Don't starve yourself.""It’s already ruined." Suki smiled bitterly. "When I first st
"If you have something to say, just say it." Suki looked ahead."Well, when we were eating just now, what did you think when you saw that they were getting married?""I don't think anything of it. Everyone's life is different," Suki said calmly.Hayden stole a glance at her. "Haven't you ever thought—"When he saw Suki turn to look at him, he choked on the second half of his sentence."What are you thinking about? Marriage?" Suki chuckled. "What's so good about marriage? Once you get married, you're trapped. You can't even change to another man."Hayden immediately felt stifled. This woman still wanted to change men…No, how could his woman think of changing men? He had to work harder so she didn't have the time or energy to think of changing men.Or rather, he should trap her. Once she was tied up, she would not be able to escape."Besides, I'm very busy with work and my profession is scary. I don't think anyone can accept me even if I wanted to," Suki continued."That won't
Amidst the laughter, Marcus clapped his hands and said, "Lindy and I have already set a time for our wedding. You have to help!"Logan waved his hand. "Count the two of us in!"Everyone was stunned.Hayden spat at Logan. "What are you doing here?""What’s wrong with joining in the fun?" Logan rolled his eyes at him and threw down his red booklet. "I just registered my marriage!"Everyone was in an uproar and started talking at once.Zyra blushed and lowered her head. Suddenly, she heard a familiar voice. "Congratulations!"She looked up and saw Sonnet.Sonnet smiled gently. "Congratulations on finding a good man."Zyra stammered, "Madam Brooks, don't you think it's too fast?""To be honest, the first time I saw you, I felt that you and CEO Scott are too compatible. It doesn't matter if someone is fated or not. It's fine as long as their hearts are connected," Sonnet replied with a smile.Zyra also smiled.As they chatted and laughed, they came to an agreement. Maxwell and S
Sara nodded mechanically. When the two of them got into the car, she remembered to shout, "CEO Scott, lunch today is already very good. There's no need to treat us anymore!"Logan smiled and said to Zyra, "Your colleague is an honest girl."The car started, but it was not in the direction of Zyra's house."Where are we going?""I'm taking you to see someone.""Who?"Logan smiled but did not answer. "You'll know when you get there."Half an hour later, when she saw the cemetery, Zyra knew who Logan had brought her to meet.She followed Logan silently to Yasmin's tombstone. She actually felt a little guilty, as if she had stolen someone else's position.Logan placed the white rose in his hand in front of the tombstone and said softly, "Yasmin, I'm going to marry a wife. You won't be angry, right?"Zyra looked at Logan in surprise. Marry a wife…She had only slept with him twice, and he was already going to marry her?The surroundings were silent except for the sound of the br
"Isn't your man handsome?" Logan closed his eyes and suddenly spoke.Zyra was stunned for a moment before her face turned red. She turned around shyly."He's just like a bandit. What's so handsome about him…" she said contentiously."Bandit?" Logan raised his eyebrows and looked at Zyra's smooth shoulders.He recalled the taste of last night and his heart began to stir again."I was a gentleman last night. You haven't yet seen your man acting like a bandit!"As soon as he finished speaking, he pounced…Zyra regretted saying those words and inciting a new round of "war". She did not expect that fellow's words to be true. It turned out that he could still be a little more "bandit"!As they left, she hugged him and asked, "Who am I?""You're my Little Zyra, Little Zyra."Zyra was completely relieved.That morning, Logan drove her to the office.In the afternoon, Zyra was about to go for lunch with her colleagues when she suddenly heard a commotion outside. Then, Sara brought a
There was an indescribable melancholy in her heart, sour and bitter."The investigation might be because of my wife, but it’s not about helping you," Logan replied as he looked at her face.At this moment, he was very clear that the face in front of him was not Yasmin's face at all. Other than the fact that she looked similar to Yasmin, the rest of her features did not look alike at all.She looked weak, but she was very strong on the inside. She looked heartless, but her emotions were very fragile. She was like a blade of grass in the wilderness, growing tenaciously, growing the toughness that belonged to grass and the beauty of grass.She and Yasmin were two completely different women!"Then you're helping me…" Zyra asked softly. When she asked this, her heart was beating wildly."Don't I have a favor to ask of you?" Logan smiled. "I wanted you to see my son once a week."Wasn't it because he wanted her to pretend to be his son's mother?Zyra was a little disappointed, but Lo
