When Sonnet walked in while holding onto Maxwell's arm, everyone in the hall stopped talking and turned their heads to look at them.The two of them looked perfect for each other. Everyone would focus their attention on them whenever they showed up, just like what happened at Will Brooks’ birthday party.Matteo was the first to greet them. He excitedly said, "Maxwell! It’s wonderful, you're finally back!" As he said that, he went over and hugged Maxwell.Maxwell patted him on the back to calm him down.After Matteo hugged Maxwell, he looked at Sonnet and said, "Sonnet, I'm so happy for you! I thought that Maxwell...Now he's back so you and Maxwell can continue to live a happy life together!"Sonnet smiled at him and replied, "Thank you for your kind words."Among the Brooks, she had the best impression of Matteo. Although after Maxwell "died", he did not help her much, he was considered innocent compared to those in the Brooks who had evil intentions.Mariette watched Matteo gre
Sonnet was curious about what Will would talk to Maxwell about. She could not help but glance in the direction of the study.Will's wife, Monica Wagner, noticed where she was looking and said to Sonnet with a smile, "Don't worry, it's good news."Sonnet looked away from the study and smiled at Monica.Monica was chubby and had a round face. She looked kind when she smiled and her attitude towards everyone was amiable.Monica took the fruit fork and handed a piece of fruit to Sonnet. "Come, come, eat some fruit. You have been part of the Brooks for two years. This is the first time you’ve visited the Brooks Estate, right?"Sonnet nodded and responded, "When we first got married, I wanted to come to the Brooks Estate to meet all of you but I was afraid that everyone might be busy, and I would get in the way, so I didn't come to visit."In the past, everyone in the Brooks treated Maxwell as a fool. They did not go through with his wedding and did not even want to see them.Since Mo
Sonnet nodded and continued talking, "It's not much money but it's enough to treat the burns on his face. However, it's very difficult to get rid of them completely so he still has one or two scars on his face.""When did he return to Harbor City?""It took several months just for the operation and recovery. A while ago, his memory suddenly returned, and he immediately returned to Harbor City. When he came back, he found Mr. Pine, who immediately held a press conference on his behalf. I didn't see him until that night!""He’s so close to you but he didn't come to find you immediately upon returning?" Rebecca, who had been silent all this time, suddenly gave out a "hmph" and said."Yeah, if it were me, I would definitely go find Sonnet before anything," Matteo echoed."He really didn't look for me as soon as he came back but I think he did a thorough investigation on how I’ve been the past couple of months." Sonnet smiled.Before Maxwell appeared in front of the public, he went to
After they chatted for a while, Sonnet got up to go to the bathroom and bumped into Micah when she came out.She did not intend to greet Micah and wanted to go around him but he blocked her."Micah, what are you doing?" Sonnet asked, frowning.Micah chuckled and said, "Sonnet, hello! It's been a long time since I've seen you, you’ve gotten even more beautiful so I can't help but come to say hello to you!"Sonnet took two steps back and said coldly, "Let me pass.""What if I refuse to? Are you going to hit me?"As he spoke, he leaned over and lowered his voice to say, "Sometimes harsh words or deeds can demonstrate one's love, I’m looking forward to you hitting me!"After he said that, he checked out Sonnet with a lustful gaze. "I heard that you just gave birth. Maxwell is so loyal. He got cheated on and still has a deep love for you!"Go away!" Sonnet angrily stomped on his foot.Micah yelped in pain and stumbled a step back. Sonnet took advantage of the situation and walked a
Once the topic shifted to something that the women were interested in, the atmosphere- instantly became more lively. Even Mariette, who had been downcast, got excited and joined the discussion.Sonnet listened quietly and did not speak. She was not very interested in the brands and items they were talking about.The women were chatting and suddenly looked at Sonnet together. Yvonne excitedly said, "Sonnet, that bracelet on your hand is Sylvania's new product from the summer collection!"Sonnet looked down at her wrist. The bracelet was given to her as a gift by Maxwell yesterday. She did not know many luxury brands and just thought that it looked pretty so she put it on. She did not expect to attract the attention of the women."It seems that Maxwell earned a lot of money since he bought nice things for his wife!" Monica said.Yvonne turned to Matteo and said, "Matteo, will you buy me something?"Mariette pouted and said, "Aunt Yvonne, even if you want to go shopping, you should
They got in the car and it slowly drove away from the Brooks Estate.Sonnet looked at the dignified estate that was gradually shrinking in the distance. She felt a sense of melancholy. The rich also had their troubles, such as the Brooks. The family was big but they have never been united, there were always various dramas going on within the family.She looked away and asked Maxwell, "What did your three uncles tell you in the study?"Maxwell snorted coldly and said, "They wanted to borrow money.""Borrow money?""They knew that I had tens of millions in my hand so they negotiated with me to borrow it. Will wanted to take back some of the shares in Brooks Corporation that they sold. The combined shares held by them won’t even allow them to have the right to speak in Brooks Corporation's.”Sonnet was surprised. "They sold so much of their shares?""Otherwise, why did they insist on holding Mariette accountable for misappropriating the company funds? It's the other shareholders wh
In fact, he had secretly acquired the shares of Brooks Corporation held by the three parties but he did not come forward. He still let the three of them lead the Brooks Corporation so no one knew about it.Sonnet knew a little bit about it. In Sir Brooks' will, he gave his three sons and eldest grandson 15% of the shares each.Maxwell was ‘mentally challenged’ so his part was put in the foundation where 5% was used for his day-to-day needs and the remaining 10% was kept. When he died, the portion was realized and donated to charity."If so, the three brothers should own 45% of the shares! Did Welson sell all his shares?" She asked Maxwell in surprise.Welson was indeed a loser but she did not expect him to be so terrible to the point where he needed to sell all his shares.Maxwell sneered and said, "He sold almost all of them and now only has 1% of Brooks Corporation's shares in hand. Now, the brothers together only have 31% of the shares in hand so they don’t have much grounds to
Two days later, Sonnet saw that Lune was feeling down.“What’s wrong, Lune?” she went over and hugged Lune gently, asking in a soft voice.“Mom, I haven’t seen Uncle Johnson for several days now,” Lune replied, pouting.Sonnet was taken aback.After the last time she had the talk with Johnson and ended their friendship, she had focused on Maxwell and forgotten about Johnson. When she gave it a thought, she truly had not seen him for four or five days.It did not matter if she saw him or not, but the kids had developed an attachment to him, and if they did not see him, they might be unhappy.“Mom has been busy lately and hasn’t paid attention to these things, but if you want to play with Uncle Johnson, you can go find him. Mom won’t object to it,” she said while rubbing Lune’s head.“I went to find him every night, but he’s never home!”Lune looked up at her, with a hint of worry in her eyes. “Mom, do you think something happened to Uncle Johnson? Why hasn’t he come home for sev
