“That day, I was at the boba tea shop, and two little hooligans came to harass me. I asked them to show some respect and not disturb me while I was serving customers. They started causing trouble for no reason and even laid their hands on me. At that moment, Matteo arrived and started beating them up to chase them away,” Jinny explained.“I never knew Matteo had such good fighting skills!” Lindy exclaimed.“Well, now I know that Matteo and I can never be together,” Jinny sighed. Lindy comforted Jinny by patting her shoulder. “Don’t lose hope. Anything is possible. Look at my best friend. Didn’t she get to become the Second Young Miss of the Brooks family?”Jinny looked up at the sky and said, “Sigh. His mom clearly doesn’t approve of me. Forget it, I won’t expect too much. I’ll just focus on selling my boba tea.”Sonnet thought to herself that the obstacles were indeed quite significant. She was only able to be with Maxwell in the past because Maxwell was a little silly. If Max
“Did he not come to see you?” Lindy asked.Jinny shook her head. “After I was hit, I was afraid he’d be left waiting, so I called him on the way to the hospital. He told me to take good care of myself and that he would come to see me later. But he never came.”“He’s probably just busy.” Sonnet comforted her.Lindy, however, sneered. “Too busy to see her? If he wanted to come, he would’ve found the time.”Although Matteo said that he would come visit Jinny, he never did. Hence, because of this, Lindy frequently complained to Sonnet about Matteo.When Sonnet thought of Matteo’s usual courteous manner, she had a strange feeling in her heart, as if there was some reason behind it.After leaving the hospital, Sonnet stopped by to see Mrs. Wilson.Gerome had to go back to his hometown to work on the farm, so he could not stay here all the time. Maxwell also hired a nurse to take care of Mrs. Wilson, so Sonnet would visit Mrs. Wilson every two or three days, to help her wash up and cha
“What happened later when you arrived in United City?” Maxwell asked.Mrs. Wilson took a breath and continued, “When I got to the designated place, I did see Second Master Brooks... He told me that you might not be dead and asked if I knew anything about it. I said I didn’t know and even asked him where you were... Second Master Brooks didn’t believe that I didn’t know, but I said that I really didn’t …“He also asked me if I knew earlier that you weren’t dead. I said I didn’t know at all. When I first heard that you were in an accident, I was really upset for a long time... He saw that I didn’t seem to be lying, and he didn’t say anything. He just left.”Sonnet asked, “Then how did the car accident happen?”Mrs. Wilson shook her head and replied, “I don’t know what happened either. When I came out of the tea house, a few people suddenly appeared and grabbed me. They took me to a secluded place and tied me to a chair. They asked me what I knew, whether the Young Master’s death was
Monica sat down and took Sonnet’s hand. “Oh, I’m really sorry to come to you like this, but besides you guys, there’s probably no one else who can help my Mariette.”“Aunt Monica, what happened to Mariette?” Sonnet asked, pretending not to know.“Didn’t Maxwell tell you? Mariette embezzled the company’s money to buy a fund on a whim. She had good intentions. She wanted to make money for the company, but who knew that the market would suddenly change? She lost a lot of money. The shareholders found out, and now, she’s been sued. Now, Mariette has been... detained…”Monica’s eyes were red as she spoke.“Oh my! Why did Mariette do something so foolish?!” Sonnet feigned surprise.Monica nodded. “Indeed, it was foolish. I think it was probably her husband who talked her into it. Now that he sees she’s in trouble, he immediately wants a divorce.”“So why did you come to me, Aunt Monica? How can we help Mariette?” Sonnet asked tentatively.She had no clue what Will and his wife were co
In order to save his daughter, Will agreed to transfer five percent of Brooks Corporation’s shares to Maxwell. In his words, they were like family, and it was better to transfer the shares to him than to anyone else.On the evening of the deal, Sonnet asked Maxwell, “Is Will really not the inside mastermind?”Maxwell pondered and said, “It was surprising that he sold the shares. If he was the mastermind, he wouldn’t have done such a thing!”“Then who is it? It’s not Welson, and Will doesn’t seem like it. The only person left in the Brooks family is your Uncle Winston. He can’t be the one, can he?”Sonnet could not imagine how the kind and amiable Winston could be connected to the person who caused the car accident that killed her own brother.Maxwell did not say anything, and he himself grew uncertain.Was it really Winston? Over the years, his records had been spotless. Although he had not helped him, he had never taken advantage of him either.Matteo was also close to him for
Sonnet decided to take a set of photos for each child. Jaybie and Lune had never taken such artistic photos before.Lindy was extremely excited about it. “Jaybie and Lune are so good-looking. The photos we take of them will make them look just like those of little princesses and princes!”Lune asked, “Mom, can I call Uncle Johnson?”Surprised, Sonnet asked, “Why do you want to call Uncle Johnson?”“I want to take a photo with him!” Lune replied.Sonnet lied to Lune, saying that Uncle Johnson had gone on a business trip. It had been over half a month, and Lune still had not seen him. “Uncle Johnson is still on his business trip, so he’s probably not in Harbor City. And even if he was here, he would be working and wouldn’t have time to take photos with you, don’t you think?”Lune pouted and said nothing, looking unhappy.Sonnet thought that she would have to contact Johnson to meet Lune at an appropriate time, so as to not hurt her feelings.Lindy gave Sonnet a signal and quick
Although Lucas was in full disguise, with only his eyes being visible, Sonnet and the others recognized him instantly.He had just walked into the restaurant and was talking to a waiter. The waiter was very respectful and led him inside.“Is he going to the private room?” Lindy also saw him and asked softly, “I heard that the private rooms in this restaurant are very hard to book. Who’s he having dinner with, and why does he need to go to the private room?”“Well, he’s a big star now, so he probably wants to avoid being photographed by the paparazzi,” Sonnet replied, watching Lucas’ figure.Lindy pouted. “The paparazzi is always around!” She said and patted her chest.“Aunt Lindy, what does ‘paparazzi; mean? You don’t look like a papa!” Lune asked innocently, tilting her head.Lindy laughed, rubbed Lune’s head, and said, “Paparazzi are people who are very well-informed.”“Oh, then I’m the paparazzi of my class!” Lune proudly declared.Sonnet and Lindy were stunned for a moment,
Lindy stared at Jaybie for a while. Suddenly, she reached out to pinch his face. “Hey, Jaybie, since when have you learned to flatter other people? Oh, you’re showering me with so much flattery that I feel like I’m floating in the air! Since you praised me so much today, I’ll definitely treat you to steak tonight!” Jaybie showed her a toothy grin. After ordering the steak sets, the children started eating happily. Lil Three cried because she was hungry. Sonnet then carried her to the baby room to breastfeed her. Sonnet returned to the room after breastfeeding. She passed another room on the way back. The door of the room suddenly opened, and someone walked out in a hurry. The person almost collided with Sonnet. Sonnet exclaimed and held Lil Three tightly in her arms as she took several steps back, almost losing her balance. She was rather agitated. Why was this person walking so quickly?! “Sonnet?” The other person suddenly called out to her. Sonnet raised her head in
