She was stunned. The person who was beaten turned out to be Johnny Cole.She had not seen him for a while, he looked dejected and disheveled, nothing like the financial elite before.When she was looking at him, Johnny happened to look over with his head in his arms. He noticed that it was Sonnet and immediately yelled. "Sonnet! Sonnet Turner!"Sonnet pulled Juliette to quicken her pace.Then Johnny cried out. "Brother, that woman is my sister, she can help me pay back the money, stop her!"Then some of the thugs ran towards Sonnet quickly.Sonnet pushed Juliette. "You go quickly."Juliette's face changed slightly. "What's the matter? Who are these people? You won't be in danger, right?""Hurry up and call the police for me." Sonnet whispered to her.Juliette nodded heavily and left quickly.Those people only wanted to stop Sonnet, so they did not go after Juliette.Sonnet was blocked by them, she asked coldly, "What are you doing?""Why, didn't you hear what your brother s
At that moment, Sonnet felt suffocated, and her mind was buzzing.Johnny's hysterical screams rang in her ear. "You nasty woman, you are obviously rich, but you wouldn’t help me! Why are you so haughty? You only married a silly rich young master! Today, you better take out your money to save me! Then, I'll let you go, or I'll just strangle you to death! Even if I die, I’ll drag you along with me!"Sonnet's face gradually turned purple, and his voice gradually became distant.Just when she felt that she was about to pass out, there was a sudden shout.She subconsciously turned her head to look, and saw a few young men running over from nowhere, fighting with those big guys.Then, as soon as her neck was loosened, fresh air rushed into her airways, and she instinctively covered her neck and took a deep breath.Once her breath recovered, she looked intently and saw Johnny being held aside by a young man with his hands tight behind his back.The few big men who asked for debts just
"Why is it you?!" She was taken aback.Sonnet raised her chin and showed her the red mark on her neck from being strangled by Johnny. "Your son did this, I was almost strangled to death by him."Martha's expression became a little complicated.After being silent for a while, she stepped forward and took Sonnet's hand. "Since it's you, it's easy for us to talk. Sonnet, tell the police quickly that you will not pursue your brother's criminal responsibility!"That "your brother" startled Juliette who was next to her, and she stared at Sonnet with wide eyes.Sonnet felt disgusted in her heart and shook Martha's hand away vigorously. "Don't talk nonsense, that’s not my brother!"Martha staggered two steps back.Just at this moment, Jessie came in from the outside and saw that Martha stumbled, so she immediately ran over to support her, and at the same time shouted at Sonnet, "Sonnet, why did you push my mother?!""So what, if I pushed her?" Sonnet retorted coldly.She was never unr
"I'm sorry, I’m really petty. You have a deep sibling relationship with Johnny, so you should find a way to save him!"Sonnet said as she slapped Jessie's hand away vigorously and continued to walk forward.Jessie yelled angrily. "Sonnet! A woman like you has a heart made of stone, you don’t care about family affection at all! A heartless and cold-blooded person like you deserves your child's short life!"Sonnet's footsteps suddenly stopped.She turned her head, looked at Jessie, and walked back to her step by step.Frightened by the ferocity in her eyes, Jessie took two steps back involuntarily. "You, what are you going to do?"Sonnet raised her arms.Jessie instinctively covered her head and face with her hands.Sonnet's hand came down heavily, but when it landed on Jessie's face, it turned into a light touch, touching her cheek."Ms. Cole, you are so precious, and your skin is so beautiful—"Sonnet leaned against her ear, her voice was icy. "But I heard people say that whe
Martha's eyes rolled. "If you really can't get over this hurdle in your heart, then I will apologize to you on Johnny's behalf today!"As she spoke, she fell to her knees in front of Sonnet with a "plop".Sonnet took a step back unexpectedly, she never expected Martha to do this for her son.Next to her, Jessie hurriedly pulled Martha. "Mom, get up quickly, how can such a person deserve your kneeling?"Martha did not move, but lightly reprimanded Jessie. "You are an adult, you should be sensible by now! Even if she is not my daughter, or someone I don't know, we as the family members of the suspect should also sincerely apologize. Not to mention, she is my daughter, it was my fault that I did not raise her properly all these years. Now that she has been hurt like this by Johnny, can’t I apologize to my daughter?"Then, she looked at Sonnet, her eyes were red. "Sonnet, it's my fault. I didn't treat you well when I was blinded and obsessed. Later, because you insisted on going back
"But it's too much for you to kneel down to her...""All because you are incompetent! If you can find a good husband, why would your second brother have no money to pay back!" Speaking of this, Martha became a little angry, "Let’s talk about you, your dad and I have been grooming you in various ways since you were young. I originally thought, to train you to be a superior noble lady, so that you can marry into a wealthy family in the future. In the end, you are completely useless, and you haven’t even found a boyfriend until now!"It's Sonnet who married a fool but became a rich young mistress. Look at her now, she is more imposing than your mother and you! Did you hear what your second brother said, she has 50 million in her bank account. With a wave of her hand, she took out 20 million to invest in stocks, and she didn’t feel distressed when she lost 10 million yuan! Tsk tsk, she is really a rich wife now!"Jessie looked at the envious expression on her mother's face, feeling jeal
Juliette still felt angry and irreconciled over the matter. "Sonnet, you can't soften your heart just because of Mrs. Cole's kneeling! She knows this about you, so she deliberately sold herself in front of you. You’ll be walking into her trap as she wishes if you really reach a settlement with that man!"Sonnet smiled. "I’m not soft-hearted."Juliette looked at her in surprise.She just heard Sonnet say leisurely, "Letting Johnny go is like resolving the blood ties with Harold Cole and his wife, and it's also to heal my own past wounds. I’ll negotiate terms with them. If they want me to let him go, they must sever any relationship with me from now on. They’re not allowed to call me the daughter of the Cole family, and I’ll have nothing to do with them! And—"She said and winked at Juliette, "If Johnny goes to jail, he’ll lose his freedom, but he can escape his debts too, right? Those debts aren’t recognized by the law. But if he’s out, he has to pay them back. He’ll live like a rat
At noon the next day, Sonnet and Martha sat face-to-face in an elegant restaurant.Sonnet looked around and smiled coldly. "This is the first time I’m at such a nice restaurant with you for dinner."Sonnet returned home when she was 12 years old. Her eldest brother, Ivan Cole, was celebrating his birthday. The whole family went to a nice restaurant for dinner, but they did not bring her because they resented her. They even called her a hillbilly.Martha said sincerely, "I was wrong before, but I’ve already reflected on it, and I’ll make it up to you in the future. Sonnie, I’ll eat with you often in the future!"Sonnet chuckled. "That's unnecessary. I'm afraid I’ll get indigestion."Martha turned pale from the clap back."Let's get down to business. It's not impossible for me to help Johnny, but I have conditions," Sonnet said as she withdrew her smile."What conditions?"Sonnet did not answer but took out two sheets of paper from her bag and handed them to Martha. "Have a look.
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
