From this angle, the camera was able to clearly capture the entire process of Maggie putting safflowers into Sonnet’s thermos!Maggie immediately felt a sense of anger at being deceived and shouted at Sonnet, “Sonnet Turner, you played me and secretly recorded a video!”“You can secretly poison people, so why can’t we secretly record a video?” Sonnet coldly replied.The surrounding girls began to discuss the matter with some knowledgeable ones quietly explaining the effects of safflowers.Everyone looked at Maggie with contempt.“This woman is really vicious. She’s even harming someone’s baby!”“That’s right, it’s equivalent to murder. This kind of person is really scary!”Maggie’s face turned red like a lobster, and she pushed Laurel away hard, intending to leave.Vespa quickly walked over and grabbed her arm, taking out an unused bunch of safflowers from her pocket and stuffing it into Maggie’s mouth with force.Sonnet had never seen Vespa act so violently before and was sho
Sonnet patted Vespa on the shoulder and said, “I’ll support you firmly whenever you choose to get a divorce!”Vespa nodded and replied, “I didn’t leave him before because I was afraid he and his family would fight for custody of our daughter. They won’t really want to take care of her; they just want to make things difficult for me. My husband’s income is higher than mine, and he bought the house before we got married, so I’m worried the court will give custody of our daughter to him. But now that my daughter is eight years old, she has the right to decide who she wants to live with, so I’m not afraid anymore.“I know a very capable lawyer who can help you when the time comes, and we must make sure your daughter stays with you!” Sonnet immediately responded.Vespa smiled at her and said, "Sonnet, I know a thing or two about your experience, and it’s quite inspiring to me. You were able to live independently with two children, so what do I have to be afraid of?”Sonnet laughed. “As
“That’s just something superficial. You don’t have to worry about me so much—” “I’m also doing it to protect Lil Three. That’s my child!" Johnson quickly brought up Lil Three once again.…After Maggie left, Sonnet’s life became much calmer.The three-month unstable period passed smoothly, and she felt more and more of the growth of the child in her stomach.One day, after dinner, Sonnet was sitting on the sofa when suddenly, her body stiffened. She held her stomach with her hand.Maxwell was assembling Lego blocks with Jaybie when he inadvertently looked up and saw Sonnet’s expression. His face changed instantly.He threw down the Lego blocks and ran to Sonnet, nervously asking, “What’s wrong? Is there something wrong with your stomach?”At this moment, Sonnet was filled with joy in her heart and just wanted to share it with someone.She took Johnson’s hand and gently placed it on her stomach.Maxwell felt a small movement under his fingertips and was shocked, quickly withd
Maxwell felt guilty. He was too happy just now and forgot to control his expression. Pretending to be a fool for too long had given him a fixed expression! “Oh, really?” He smiled unnaturally and looked at Jaybie. “I’m curious, am I really that similar to your late father?”“You don’t look like him at all, but you’re always giving me that feeling,” Jaybie replied seriously.Maxwell coughed twice. “Oh, maybe it’s because I’m about the same height as him?”Jaybie did not answer this question and lowered his head to continue building Lego blocks, but clearly, his mood was not as lifted as before.For a moment, Maxwell no longer knew how to get along with him.Lune ran over and grabbed his hand gently, reminding him, “Jaybie misses Dad. Just don’t bother him.”Maxwell felt a pang of guilt in his heart.He really wanted to hug this child, but he could not do it now!Sometimes he really hated his incompetence. Why had he not found that person after so many years?He was triumphant
“Is Vespa at home? I’m her colleague,” Sonnet asked.Through the anti-theft door, she could smell the strong scent of alcohol emanating from the man.Ezra’s face darkened immediately as he replied harshly, “You’ve got the wrong place!” Then he slammed the door shut with a loud bang.Sonnet was taken aback but then began pounding on the door. “Open the door, open it! I’m looking for Vespa!”The movement in the room disappeared, and it was quiet.Sonnet grew more anxious, not knowing what Ezra had done to Vespa. She thought she had heard Vespa crying just a moment ago. At least that meant she could still cry out, but now there was no sound at all…She pounded on the door with all her might, but the person inside seemed unaffected.Lindy pulled Sonnet back. “Step aside. Let me handle it!”Sonnet stepped back and watched as Lindy ran and kicked the door with all her might.Bang!The deafening sound echoed throughout the hallway, and the anti-theft door, like a decrepit old man, f
While waiting for the ambulance, Sonnet gave Vespa a simple treatment for her wound. Although Vespa’s family had a first aid kit, there were hardly any items for treating external injuries. Thus, Sonnet had to use tissue paper to wipe off the bloodstains on Vespa’s forehead. While she was treating Vespa, Sonnet felt sorry for her and asked, “Vespa, how did you get beaten up like this?”Vespa’s tears fell like pearls as she lifted her clothes. Sonnet was shocked to see that there were even several scars on her abdomen.These were scars left by cigarette burns!“That bastard burned you too!?” Lindy exclaimed in shock.Vespa whispered, “Normally, my daughter is at home, and he has some scruples. But this time, my daughter went to summer camp, and when I asked for a divorce, he got drunk and started hitting me without any restraint.”“You should’ve divorced this kind of person when he did it the first time. How can you tolerate him repeatedly?!” Lindy said angrily.Vespa lowered he
”What a load of crap!” Lindy could not help but curse again. “Do you call that couple’s quarrel? You were beating your wife to death!”She pulled out the photos on her camera to show the police. “Officers, do you see this? If we hadn’t kicked down the door, our friend would’ve been beaten to an even worse state. We had no choice but to kick down the door to save our friend! You should be arresting him. He committed intentional injury!”The police officers said sternly, “Enough, both of you stop arguing. In my opinion, he may have committed intentional injury, but you also committed intentional injury!”“I just kicked him a few times out of anger—”“And you broke two ribs and dislocated his left arm!” the officers interrupted Lindy. “You went beyond the scope of legitimate self-defense”Lindy was surprised and speechless.“You ladies should come with us to the police station and settle this matter,” the officers said.Sonnet and Lindy had no choice but to follow the police office
Lindy shook her head nonchalantly. “Well, it’s no big deal to be locked up for a few days. I don’t care!”Marcus frowned and rebuked lightly, “What are you saying? If you’re detained, you’ll have a criminal record. You’re a pure and innocent girl. Can you handle having a record?”Lindy did not say anything.Marcus thought for a moment and said, “Let’s think of another way. Everyone has weaknesses.”He turned and walked away to make a phone call. Then, he came back after a while and said to Sonnet, “Sonnet, you should go back with your friend first. I’ll stay here with Lindy. You can rest assured that I won’t let anything happen to her.”Sonnet looked at Vespa’s swollen face and nodded. “Okay, I’ll come back tomorrow.”“Don’t come back. One night should be enough to resolve this,” Marcus said confidently.Sonnet knew he was capable, so she left with Vespa while feeling assured.They took a taxi to the Paradise Residential Area. On the way over, Vespa was very uneasy and fidgetin
