Sonnet’s heart skipped a beat. “So is he Samuel or Kenji?”Fatso looked at her deeply. “It’s… Kenji.”Sonnet clenched her chest and did not know whether she was happy or sad.“But I found someone to investigate him. He grew up in Wind City as Samuel Kieran…” she could not help but ask.“That’s right. Samuel Kieran did grow up in Wind City, but he’s Kenji, not Samuel.”“So, you’re saying that Kenji is pretending to be Samuel? What’s going on? How did you find out so quickly?” Sonnet asked a series of questions.“I have a friend in Wind City, so I called him to help me investigate Samuel. It turned out that my friend knew Samuel from before. They were in the same club together. He said that Samuel had been injured for a while, and he left the club to recover in the countryside. They haven’t been in contact for a long time, but I sent my friend a photo of the current Samuel, and he was surprised and said that this person wasn’t him.“So, I went over to scare the person we caught, a
“Grandpa’s in the room. He said he wanted to sleep just now.”Sonnet let go of her children’s hand and walked toward Myles’ room. She would not wake up her father. She just wanted to quietly take a look at him.As she opened the door, a fragrant smell hit her nostrils.She smiled, recognizing the smell of her dad’s favorite peach croissant. He must have had some before going to bed.She walked up to Myles and could not help smiling when she saw him sleeping soundly with his eyes closed.Dad seemed to have gained a bit of weight recently, indicating that he was doing well here.Just as she was about to leave, her eyes suddenly fell on the bed.There was a small pile of peach croissant crumbs right next to the pillow.She shook her head in dissatisfaction. Why did the nanny not help her dad clean up the bed?Sonnet turned around and looked for the nanny. “Mrs. Lauren, I saw that my dad left a lot of crumbs from the peach croissant on the bed before he slept. Next time this happe
“Yes.”“If you wanted to eat some, you should have told me. Why did you ask someone else to buy them for you?”“I didn’t ask for them. He bought them himself. I was even wondering how he knew that I liked peach croissants!” Myles quickly replied.Sonnet opened her mouth slightly in surprise. How did Maxwell know that her father liked peach croissants? He bought them from that particular store too!“I think it was maybe Jaybie and Lune who asked Maxwell to buy them for me to make me happy, but they didn’t want him to tell me,” Myles guessed.Sonnet smiled. “Maybe.”Nonetheless, she knew in her heart that although Jaybie and Lune knew that Myles liked peach croissants, they would not know which store he preferred. How exactly did Maxwell know? She had to go back and ask him.Then, she tucked her father in and said, “Dad, go back to sleep. I’m going to talk to the kids and then leave.”“Okay, go back early. I’m fine over here. You don’t have to come and see me so late at night.
“Why not?”“Because Jaybie’s grandfather isn’t well, so maybe there are some things he can’t eat too much of. You mean well, but if he eats something that’s not good for him, it’d be like bringing harm to him instead, right?”Sonnet quickly made up an excuse, but in reality, she knew that she merely did not want Maxwell to have too much contact with her father.She did not want her father to notice the relationship between Maxwell and her before she was fully prepared to let him know.She knew her father’s temper too well, and if he found out on his own, he might get angry.Of course, even if she told her father about it herself, he would probably still get angry…“Wifey is right. I’ll ask Grandpa first before buying next time!”How could Maxwell not understand Sonnet’s thoughts? He was saying so on purpose.Sonnet smiled bitterly, not knowing whether to say he was being obedient or disobedient, but—“Maxwell, you can’t call him ‘Grandpa’!”Whenever he called her father ‘Gran
Upon seeing Sonnet, Kenji’s expression turned to resentment: “It’s you again, b*tch! Before, you helped Tami divorce me and I didn’t even come to settle the score with you. This time, you hired Fatso and his gang to illegally detain me. Let me tell you, don’t you dare let me out of here. Or else, once I'm out, I’ll call the police!”Sonnet looked at him with an unflinching heart despite his fierce expression and handed him her phone. “Wanna call the police? Alright, let’s call them now! If you don’t do it, you’re a coward!”Kenji choked up.He was just blustering and trying to scare Sonnet, but he did not expect her to be completely unfazed and even outsmart him.Of course, he did not dare to call the police. Five years ago, he killed someone, and although Samuel died of illness later on, it was illegal for him to assume Samuel’s identity. How could he possibly call the police?Sonnet took a chair and sat in front of Kenji and said with a solemn voice, “Don’t want to call them, hu
Sonnet remained silent for a while. Then, she stood up and walked up to him. “One last thing, if you draw another tube of blood, I’ll have Fatso let you go.”Although the things he said were convincing, she still wanted him to do a paternity test with Jaybie to be cautious. “Draw it! Draw it! I’ll even draw ten tubes of blood!” Kenji immediately replied.…“Samuel Kieran?” Maxwell repeated in surprise.“Yes, that’s the name on the blood sample. It was sent for a bone marrow matching test,” Hayden replied on the phone.Maxwell rubbed his temples. He knew Samuel. He was the father of the little girl Sonnet brought with her.He also knew about Sonnet helping Tami divorce Samuel. He heard it during her phone call with Tami.Why did Sonnet have anything to do with Samuel now? Why did she send his blood sample for a bone marrow match?Was Sonnet just randomly pulling individuals to do matches now?If Samuel was her friend, he could understand, but now that Samuel had divorced Tami
“Ms. Turner gave birth to the two children when she was 20 years old, and based on my investigation, the children may belong to her ex-boyfriend,” said Carter.“Mason Stewart?” Maxwell asked.Carter choked and replied, “Boss, you know him?”“Have you investigated thoroughly and confirmed it?” Maxwell asked.“I can’t be completely certain. All I know is that she went to Harbor City to look for Mason back then. They went to Lil Lux Club at night, and soon after she came back, she became pregnant. She never told anyone who the father of her children is, but everyone guessed they’re her ex-boyfriend’s,” Carter explained.“They’re not her ex-boyfriend’s,” Maxwell affirmed. “If the children are Mason’s, even if the bone marrow matching is unsuccessful, she wouldn’t be going around looking for men to conduct paternity tests with her children.”If she was still looking for the father, that indicated that the children were definitely not Mason’s. He furrowed his eyebrows and rebuked Car
Maxwell thought for a moment and replied: [Let’s meet at Ocean Garden in the afternoon of September 30th.]The other side replied with a smiling face: [Okay!]After a while, another message came: [Mr. Sunglasses, can I bring someone else with me to meet you?]Maxwell answered promptly: [Of course.]He put away his phone and stared at Alex, who was driving in front of him, for a long time. To the point that Alex found it strange and looked at him nervously through the rearview mirror. “M-Mr. Brooks… is there anything you want me to do?”“Help me pretend to be someone else,” Maxwell said.Of course, he could not show up in person because he would easily be recognized by Jaybie, so he had to let someone else replace him.The best candidate was Alex, who had a similar build and knew martial arts. He could take Jaybie out to play for an afternoon while he could secretly watch from the sidelines.It did not matter who that person was as long as the children were happy!Thinking of J
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
