“Has Max been doing well lately?” Lovey asked again. Sonnet was about to reply when someone shouted, “Lovey!” She turned and saw a man walking towards her with large strides. She did not recognize him at first sight. She finally managed to tell that he was Scout Cattle when he met her gaze and stared at her!He looked very different compared to when he tried scamming her previously. It looked like he had styled his hair nicely. He was wearing modern clothes, and his face was smooth and clean. He looked like a different person. Sonnet knew that Scout and Lovey had taken 73 thousand dollars from Maxwell. She thought to herself, “As expected, they know how to dress up after earning some money.” On the other hand, Lovey was stunned when she saw her brother.Scout walked over and glared at Sonnet harshly. He asked Lovey, “What are you doing?” “We rarely bump into each other. I’d like to chat with Sonnet,” Lovey said. “Sonnet? Remember that I’m your only brother in the w
“Are you working now?” Lovey asked curiously. She thought about it. She felt that it was unlikely that he would be able to pay off his debts with his salary alone.“How much can I earn at work? Let me tell you this. I sold some information,” Scout told her in a secretive tone. “What kind of information?” “I can’t tell you about it. Anyways, I earned this sum of money through legal means. Therefore, you should stop nagging me. Do you plan to eat?” It seemed like Scout was not willing to tell her much about it. Lovey stopped asking questions. She was worried that her brother would set his aim on her money if she asked more. ——When Lil Three was forty-two days old, Jaybie was discharged from hospital. That night, Sonnet and her family went out to enjoy dinner together. Johnson treated everyone to the meal. Marcus came along as well. Sonnet carried Lil Three and looked at all the people in the room. Suddenly, she realized that Johnson was the center of everyone’s attention.
The next day, Sonnet woke up and dolled herself up in a good mood. On seeing her, Lindy laughed and asked, “What are you up to? Are you going on a date?” Sonnet could not help but blush when Lindy saw right through her. To hide things from Lindy, she waved her hands exaggeratedly and said, “What are you talking about?! I’m busy breastfeeding Lil Three all the time. How can I go on a date with anyone?” “You were putting on makeup. Women love dressing up before meeting people they like, so I thought you were going on a date. However, Johnson seems to be busy with work today. When will you be meeting him?” Lindy asked with a cheeky grin on her face. Sonnet smacked her and said, “I’m not going on a date with him! Quit all the nonsense! I just applied some light makeup because I was in a good mood! What’s the matter? Can’t a woman apply makeup even though she isn’t going out to meet a man?” Just then, Jaybie came out of his room. After hearing what Sonnet said, he could not help
Maxwell furrowed his brows. From what he knew, Scout had acquired more gambling debts three months ago. How did he get his hands on all this money all of a sudden? Did he ask Lovey for money? If he had asked Lovey for all her money, he would not treat her to a meal in a posh restaurant! It looks like he has to look into this as well.Both hugged each other for almost an hour. Sonnet then left Maxwell unwillingly. On the way home, she came up with an excuse for why she had spent an hour buying stinky tofu. After all, the journey to the shop that sold stinky tofu was only twenty minutes by bicycle. After some consideration, she thought it would be better to say she had walked there. However, as soon as she arrived home, Jaybie took the stinky tofu from her and started eating. He did not ask why she got home so late. Instead, Lindy asked, “Why did it take you so long to buy some stinky tofu?” “Oh, I’ve been stuck at home for the past month. I rarely get the chance to go out
A thought flashed into Maxwell’s mind. Right, Sonnet had previously gotten into a car accident! The truck driver had been driving under the influence. He had admitted to his mistakes very quickly as well! Were these two incidents related to each other? However, he was the target of the previous car accident. Mrs. Wilson was staying in her hometown. Why would she get into a car accident? His gaze darkened. If someone wanted to know if he was still alive, it was likely that they would look for Mrs. Wilson! “Where’s Mrs. Wilson’s nephew?” He asked Marcus. “He came to the hospital with Mrs. Wilson last night. He’s not here now. He probably went out to have breakfast,” Hayden said. He overheard their conversation when walking out of the intensive care unit. “I’ll call him.” Marcus immediately dialed his number. Mrs. Wilson’s nephew, Gerome Wilson, had gone out to have breakfast. Marcus asked him to go to the director’s office after returning to the hospital. “He’s bac
Gerome walked outside to make a call. After a while, he came back and said, “I asked my daughter. She said my aunt received a call that day. She brought up Mr. Brooks on the phone call.” “Were they referring to Mr. Maxwell Brooks?” Marcus immediately questioned. Gerome shook his head and said, “My daughter didn’t hear the specifics. My aunt didn’t say anything about it as well.” Marcus glanced at Maxwell and nodded at him. “Alright, I got it. I booked a hotel room for you nearby the hospital. You can stay there for the time being. We will make other decisions once Mrs. Wilson’s condition has stabilized.” Gerome immediately thanked Marcus. Marcus exchanged a few nice words with him before sending him off. After Gerome left, Marcus looked at Maxwell. “They could’ve been discussing you in the phone call.” Maxwell had an icy look as he sighed deeply, “Someone invited Mrs. Wilson out using me as an excuse. However, Mrs. Wilson got into a car accident. What in the world ha
A lot of things got easier after they were handed over to Logan. Carter had been secretly following the private investigator around for many days, but his efforts had been fruitless. After kidnapping the private investigator and handing him to Logan, they managed to get something out of him in a couple of days. “I don’t know. Ah! Don’t hit me! Don’t hit me!” Maxwell was listening to the audio recording that Logan sent. “I really don’t know what that person’s name is. Most people that look for us usually conceal their identities. The wealthier they are, the more they tend to do so. The person who hired me paid me a generous fee and asked me to monitor that woman and her family for several days. I did as the person ordered. Somehow, she discovered me when she was at the hospital that day. She tried getting rid of my tail, got into a car accident, and gave birth to her child. After that, I stopped following her around.” “Where do you usually meet up with your client?” Logan’s voice r
Sonnet paused. “Your boss? Who are you?”There was no reply except for a low chuckle. Sonnet recognized that voice immediately and yelled, “Lucas, it’s you, isn’t it?”The hoarse voice changed in an instant. It became a little higher, charming and charismatic. “As expected of my childhood friend. You recognized me from the slightest chuckle.”Sonnet laughed. “What are you doing, calling to scare me?”“I tried to scare you, but I couldn’t hold back my laughter and you called me out instantly. You’re just as perceptive as Jaybie!” Lucas replied with a laugh.“To what do I owe this call? Do you have more free time lately?” Sonnet chuckled and then suddenly thought of something. “Wait, are you back?”“Yep. My work in Avalon is over for now, so I’m back in Harbor City. My next job is on set, at the film city on the outskirts of Harbor City,” Lucas said happily.“Why did you change your number?” Sonnet asked.“My previous number got leaked, and my fans kept harassing me, so I got a n
