After showering and coming out of the bathroom, Matteo realized that someone had moved the clothes that he had placed on his bed. He frowned in distaste. His mother must have entered the room. He had locked his door from the inside, so she must have used a spare key to unlock the door! He put on his clothes and walked out of the room agitatedly. He wanted to discuss it with Jolyn. When he arrived outside Jolyn’s door, a loud thump came from inside the room. He then heard Jolyn’s upset cries.His heart lurched as he knocked on the door. “Mom, what happened? Are you alright, Mom?” The scene that he had witnessed years ago suddenly flashed across his mind. Chills crept across his heart. He could not let anything happen to his mom right now! Since no one opened the door, he turned the doorknob instinctively. The door opened. It was not locked. He walked into the room and saw Jolyn curled up by the base of her bed. She was crying with her arms wrapped around her knees.She look
“Dad,” Matteo greeted Winston. Winston smiled. “Did you send that girl home safely?” “Yeah.” “Didn’t you chat more with her?” Will smiled at him with a purposeful look in his eyes. Matteo did not say anything in response. “That girl is rather pretty. She has a lively personality as well. It’s definitely good for you to date her, but if you were to marry her…” Winston immediately said. “There’s nothing between both of us,” Matteo frowned and said before turning and walking upstairs. Winston frowned after Matteo talked back. He looked at his son’s back as he walked up the stairs with a heavy expression on his face. After a while, he turned and glanced at the living room. He raised his voice and shouted out, “Jolyn Dune!” He spoke to her in a tone that differed from the warm tone he used when talking to his son just now. His voice was filled with authority. Jolyn ran over with a smile on her face. “Darling, you’re back!” She then sat down beside Winston and start
A few days after Lil Three’s hundredth-day celebration, Mrs. Wilson was discharged from the hospital. She had fully regained consciousness. She could move around like a normal person as well. After resting at the hospital and getting multiple checkups, she appeared to be doing well in all aspects. Therefore, she prepared to be discharged. Maxwell and Sonnet came to the hospital to take Mrs. Wilson home today. Mrs. Wilson was overjoyed. The three walked downstairs, chatting with each other happily. They were about to get into the car when an ambulance sped past. A few nurses and doctors came out of the ambulance. The patient’s family member was by the side as well. Sonnet glanced at the patient’s family. A shocked look appeared on her face. It was Malcolm Brooks! She tugged at Maxwell’s hand and pointed at the ambulance. Maxwell had seen Malcolm as well. He told Sonnet, “Take Mrs. Wilson home first. I’ll take a look at what’s going on.” Sonnet nodded. She helped Mrs. Wi
Maxwell aimed to bring further improvements to Brooks Corporation. It was reasonable to elect him as the company’s chairman. Maxwell smiled and shook his head. “Even if I wanted to take on the position, I must have enough resources to make such a claim. Not only is Matteo extremely capable, but he and his father own 15 percent of Brooks Corporation. I only own 10 percent of the company’s shares. How can I compare to Matteo?” Sonnet nodded and said, “You’re right. Previously, you only owned 5 percent. After that, you bought another 5 percent from Will and now own 10 percent. However, don’t worry. We’ll think of a way to get our hands on more shares and purchase them.” Maxwell nodded obediently. He did not dare to say anything. He still did not dare to tell Sonnet that he also owned 30 percent of the company’s shares right now. While they were chatting, Maxwell suddenly received a call. “Matteo? It’s late now. I won’t be going out. If it’s convenient for you, you can come
Maxwell shook his head to say that he was not sure. Matteo thought about it and said, “Let’s pay Uncle Will a visit in a couple of days.” “Alright,” Maxwell agreed at once. Both chatted for a while. Matteo then bid Maxwell and Sonnet farewell after he noticed it was getting late. Sonnet and Maxwell sent him to the door. After that, Sonnet brought up Will’s stoke with Maxwell. “Will suddenly suffered a stroke. If he’s the person behind everything, does that mean everything’s about to come to an end?” She asked Maxwell. Maxwell frowned and said, “Do you think someone so used to scheming against others will suffer a stroke so easily? People like that are the most afraid of being punished by a higher power. Besides, what Matteo said made sense as well. Will looks after himself extremely well. How can he suddenly suffer a stroke?”“Do you think there’s someone behind it?” Sonnet asked with a slightly shocked look on her face.Maxwell pondered it before saying, “It seems we
“Argh…” Will roared out loud at Malcolm with a furious expression on his face. Sonnet watched this scene in shock. Initially, she assumed that Will was feeling emotional after seeing his son. However, it now seemed like he did not wish to see his son at all. Malcolm was visibly hurt by Will’s outburst. He slowly put his father down and took a couple of steps back silently. Monica glanced at her son and spoke to him softly, “Go out first. Don’t make your father angry.” Malcolm nodded, turned, and left the ward. Monica looked at Sonnet and showed her an uncomfortable smile. “Sigh, look at how his mind is all muddled up because of his illness. He can’t even recognize his own son now!” Sonnet smiled and said, “Uncle Will just fell sick. He must be extremely upset. He’ll feel better after recovering more in time.” “I hope so,” Monica said as she smiled at her bitterly. After a while, Maxwell returned to the ward. He told Monica, “I asked the doctors about Uncle Will’s c
Maxwel nodded and said, “Someone that has their heart set on scheming against others will make sure that they never end up with nothing.” “Who can it be?” Sonnet frowned. Maxwell said in a heavy tone, “Regardless of who that person is, he or she must be planning to take over Brooks Corporation.” “If that’s the case, it seems your fourth uncle and his family benefited the most from this incident. Winston Brooks now owns 20 percent of the company’s shares. Matteo has taken the position of the company’s president as well.” Sonnet tilted her head and said, “However, no matter how much I think about it, Winston and Matteo don’t seem like such people…”“We can’t come to a conclusion so easily. Let’s keep observing what happens,” Maxwell told her. Previously, he had been in too much of a hurry to seek the culprit. However, he was no longer rushed to do so since he had exposed himself in front of the culprit behind everything. “That person’s as sly as a fox. They’ll show their tail
After hanging up on the call, Sonnet asked, “Who called you?”There was a confused expression on Jinny’s face. “It was the man that hit me with his bike.” “Why did he call you?”“He only paid me half the compensation. When I asked him for the other half of the compensation, he kept telling me that he didn’t have enough money to pay me for the time being. He delayed the payment a long time and suddenly called to say he’d like to pay me back.” “Isn’t that a good thing?” Sonnet asked with a smile on her face. “Why don’t you seem too happy about it?” “That’s not it. I just find it rather odd. Previously, he dragged it out for such a long time. I assumed that I wouldn’t be able to get back my money. Why would he call me and tell me he’d like to pay me back?”“It’s a good thing that he called you. Why are you overthinking?” Sonnet asked. “Where did he ask you to meet him?” Jinny gave her an address. Sonnet told Alex, “Come on, let’s accompany Jinny to receive her compensation.”
