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
Maxwell offered to buy Sonnet a dress for the jewelry new product launch event, but Sonnet refused. The next night, she put on the little dress she wore to Will’s birthday party last year and went to the launch with Maxwell.The prices at the high-end jewelry new product launch were steep, and most of the people who attended were celebrities from Harbor City’s upper-class circle. Sonnet scanned the crowd and recognized quite a few faces.She had a good eye for faces and could remember the facial features of people she had met before. Therefore, she knew that most of the people here had previously attended Will’s birthday party.Sonnet and Maxwell had always been good-looking, and with a little dressing up, they shone wherever they went. Just as they entered the launch, they immediately attracted the attention of many people.Several familiar people came over to say hello, and those who were not familiar whispered behind their backs.“Oh my, the Second Young Master of the Brooks Fa
Sensing the jealousy in Sonnet’s words, Maxwell finally came back to his senses and smiled as he pinched her hand. “In this world, there’s no woman who can compare to my wife in terms of beauty!”Sonnet snorted. “What a load of nonsense. I see that you’re more fascinated by her than by me.” The small woman pouted.Maxwell was extremely pleased. He loved hearing his wife’s sweet and jealous voice and could not help but feel a flutter in his heart.Playing with Sonnet's fingers, he leaned down and deliberately breathed into her ear, causing her body to stiffen before he said, “I wasn’t fascinated by her, I just thought she looked a bit like someone at first glance, so I took a closer look.”“Hmm? Who do you think she looks like?” Sonnet became curious.Maxwell lowered his eyelashes and fell silent before answering, “My mother.”“Huh?” Sonnet was greatly surprised.After being married to Maxwell for so long, she had never heard him mention his mother on his own initiative.“It’s n
Sonnet came back to her senses and turned her head to look at Maxwell with puffy cheeks as he said that Lucas must be better than him. It was clear that he was unhappy.Her heart softened up and she chuckled lightly. “What are you laughing at? Do you also think that he has a better temperament than me?” Maxwell became more offended seeing her chuckling.She replied, “Yeah, he does have a better temperament than you.”Seeing Maxwell’s face starting to change, she quickly added, “But even if his temperament is a hundred times better than yours, he’s just my childhood friend. You’re still the person I love the most!”“Hmph, childhood friends can become lovers too.”“If that was happening, it would’ve happened a long time ago. It wouldn’t have waited until today,” Sonnet said softly.Sonnet never told Maxwell about Lucas confessing his feelings to her. She was sure of who she loved and did not want to upset him unnecessarily. Hearing her words, Maxwell’s mood improved immediately,
