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
Sonnet smiled and said, “I was just thinking that I have no one to talk to lately, and here you are. You can go back after dinner.”Vespa had lived with Lindy and Sophia for a while, so she was already familiar with Sonnet and did not feel the need to be overly polite.Sonnet had been taking care of her children at home every day and was a bit bored, so she asked about the company, “Has anything new happened in the company recently?”“The biggest news is that Mr. Strombold is back,” Vespa said immediately.Sonnet knew that Zachary had gone back, but she did not know his condition, so she asked, “How is he now?”“He looks good to me. Even though he’s in a wheelchair, he seems more energetic than before.” Then, Vespa thought of something and smiled, “It’s the difference that being nourished by love makes.”“Nourished by love?” Sonnet widened her eyes in surprise.“Yes, I bet you had no idea? Mr. Strombold’s girlfriend is Juliette!” Vespa pursed her lips and said, “Juliette’s reall
Sonnet felt a little sad. She never expected Lune and Johnson to have such a deep relationship. She originally thought that Jaybie and Johnson would have a deeper relationship, especially since Jaybie knew that Johnson was his biological father.Someone tugged on her clothes, and Sonnet looked down to see it was Jaybie.“Mom, don’t worry. I’ll talk to Lune.”Sonnet immediately felt comforted and ruffled Jaybie’s hair. “You’re such a sensible child.”Jaybie smiled obediently, but thought to himself, ‘Mom, if you knew the truth, you’d probably hit me.’While Sonnet was bathing Lune, Maxwell came back. Jaybie immediately pulled him into the room and told him what Sonnet had said to Lune tonight. “Mom probably noticed that you’d make Uncle Johnson gradually disappear, so she started persuading Lune. She doesn’t want her to be sad.”“Then you should help Dad persuade Lune too, so that Dad can make Uncle Johnson move out faster.”Jaybie rolled his eyes. “You should be the main perso
Maxwell watched as Sonnet walked toward the door and could not help but call out, “Sonnet!”Sonnet stopped in her tracks and turned to look at him. He licked his lips and asked, “Um, I wanted to ask... About you and me, have you truly ever—?”“No, I’ve only ever loved my husband in my heart and that has never changed,” Sonnet replied in a deep voice and walked out the door after speaking.Maxwell watched as the door closed and smiled helplessly.His dear wife was really ruthless. She was even reluctant to utter any comforting words, but that was also where her intelligence lay. She never let herself be soft when she should not be.From another perspective, it also proved that his wife’s feelings for him were dedicated and he should be happy about it, right?Thinking of this, his heart was filled with tenderness as he happily went to remove his disguise.After removing his disguise and changing into Maxwell’s clothes, he was about to go upstairs when his phone rang.After answer
