His Perfect Wife Strikes Back 131 The Contract
“We also need a bottle of wine.” Tommy took a bottle of Lafite from the wine cabinet. When he opened it, the aroma of the wine filled the room.“Now we can begin.” Tommy handed me the wine goblet and sat down beside me.I think quickly in my mind. In order not to let my cousin be unacceptable for a while, I purposely left out some of the content, only briefly describing me and Mikeal's grudge. I didn't tell him about my experience on Pudding Island. After I learned that I was not Mikeal's biological child, I argued with him, so we didn't contact each other anymore.When I told Tommy that Ron was cheating on me with Gina and was transferring the debt onto me. He was so angry that he kept swearing at Ron and Gina.“I'm glad it's over,” I said. “They got what they deserved.”As time goes on, they will all turn into a pile of bones.“So what happened to Mia?” Tommy asked, “I can't believe Mikeal sent her to live in a b.rothel. He was so awful. Mia must have suffered a lot. I've seen so ma
His Perfect Wife Strikes Back 132 I Don't Like This Life
Daley didn't return until early in the morning. I was half asleep when I heard him enter the bathroom to take a shower. I closed my eyes tightly and pretended to be asleep.I could feel his cold fingers caressing my cheek, and I opened my eyes to look at him. We looked at each other for a few seconds, and then the tension between us dissipated.Over the next few days, Daley would take me to all kinds of business dinners, and sometimes I would meet Tommy, and every time he saw me he would mention something about Mia. He seemed interested in her, whom he had never met, and even asked about Mia's private life. I didn't tell him that Mia was going to marry Frade. I thought Mia should have told him herself.Tommy told me that he had asked his lawyer to suspend his work on the estate. He felt he needed to see Mia in person, and if Mia's name needed to be added to the list of heirs to the estate, she would have to provide a separate paternity test. Based on the fact that my mother has passed
His Perfect Wife Strikes Back 133 Vickie Is In the Hospital
“I'm sorry, honey,” Daley whispered. “It seems that we have to change our plan.”“What happened?” I asked.“My grandma fainted at home and now she is in the hospital. I have to go back.”“Oh, poor Vickie.” I put my hand on my chest. “How is she?”“The doctor says she's in critical condition and needs immediate surgery.”“Then we must hurry back.”“Yes, I have to be prepared, just in case something happens to my grandma, ” Daley said.“I think what you should be concerned about right now is Vickie's health,” I reminded him. “Not the power and money.”“Just in case,” he said flatly.Then he asked the flight attendant to inform the captain about the need to change the flight route. Half an hour later, the plane took off for Manhattan.When we got off the plane, a black Mercedes vehicle was waiting for us on the tarmac. It took us straight to Santa Maria Hospital.When we arrived at the hospital, Frade and Mia were waiting outside the room. Daley held my hand and walked towards them.Frad
His Perfect Wife Strikes Back 134 The Investigation About Mia
I hurried back to the hospital, and when I came to the hospital gate, there were several cars parked outside the parking lot. A group of tall men surrounding these cars with grim faces. They kept glancing warily at passers-by entering and leaving the hospital. I saw Mark in the crowd, whispering to another man. He didn't even notice me as I sped past him.My heart suddenly rose to my throat. It seemed that both Daley and Frade were ready for the fight. If Vickie doesn't wake up tonight, the war between them will blow out, and the consequences will be unimaginable.No, Vickie. You have to get through this. I prayed in my heart.As I entered the hospital, Daley was on the phone at the other end of the hall. He looked busy, too. In order not to disturb him, I walked straight to the door of the ward.Mia is still praying. Looking at her, I thought maybe she really wanted Vickie to be safe. Should I tell her about the inheritance now? But I haven't finished my investigation of her yet. Is
His Perfect Wife Strikes Back 135 Vickie Wakes Up
“My grandmother wants to see you,” Daley said.“Is Vickie awake?”“Yes, she wants to see you now.”“I'm on my way,” I said, hanging up. I told this good news to Liv. She was also happy that Vickie had come back to life.By the time I got back to the ward, there were already several strong men on either side of the corridor. I saw Mark standing next to Frade. Daley and his men were on the other side. As I walked down the corridor, a cold, nervous feeling came over my feet.A nurse was standing outside the door. Daley said to her, “This is Eva. My grandma has asked to see her.”The nurse nodded and opened the door. I walked in. Next to the bed stood another nurse, who slowly rocked Vickie's bed up. When Vickie saw me, she waved weakly at me.“Come, child,” her voice was as light as a feather.“I'm so glad to see you safe,” I said as I walked up to her. Her face was pale and haggard. The golden eyes were covered with a faint mist, losing their golden lustre.“We came as soon as we heard
His Perfect Wife Strikes Back 136 What Is Mia Up To?
“What do you mean by getting rid of her?” I asked cautiously.“You know.” Vickie gently scratched her neck.“No, Vickie,” I said. “I would never hurt her. She's my sister.”“But what if she wants to hurt Frade, or you?”“How do you know she'll hurt Frade?” I sighed. “Maybe you're thinking too much.”“Oh, young lady.” Vickie shook her head, “I've lived longer than you, and I've always believed that people who are dead don't come back to life. Unless she's not dead at all. That Mia must have a purpose when she shows up at this time.”“But why did you want to kill her? I don't understand.”“Just dealing with trouble,” Vickie said sternly. “This woman has turned two brothers against each other, and this time her presence may cause even more trouble.”“Even without Mia, Frade and Daley would have fought over the power.” I glanced at Vickie. “You know that. You just simply don't like Mia, but you wouldn't kill her.”Although I don't like this sister much, I never want to hurt her.“My gut t
His Perfect Wife Strikes Back 137 Hello, My Sister
“Liv, do you remember when I told you that there was a woman in Las Vegas who thought I was Elena? That woman was Rose.” I had to confess, “I'm asking you to look into this because I suspect Mia is Elena. I met Rose in person.”“So you got something out of Rose, but you weren't going to share it with us.” Mark squinted at me. “Why?”“I just want you to put the investigation on hold,” I said, “Since she's my sister, I was wondering if I could look into this myself. I swear, if I find anything, I'll let you know. But not yet. I need to reach out to that Rose again and find some hard evidence.”“Eva, do you also suspect that Mia came back for another reason?” Liv asked. “But I think you're trying to protect Mia, which I don't understand.”“She's my sister,” I could only say. “She's my sister until I find out everything. Please, leave the rest to me.”Liv glanced at Mark, who hesitated for a few seconds before agreeing. But I knew his patience wouldn't last.“When are you going to meet Ro
His Perfect Wife Strikes Back 138 Mia Slept With Him!
“Nonsense!” I glared at her. “What does that have to do with me?”“Because Jeff likes you.” Mia sneered, “Don't you think it's like looking in a mirror when we're face to face? And you know what? I had heard your name from Jeff many times before I met you, especially in bed. What do you think Liv would do if she knew that her husband had been fantasizing about her best friend?”“That's not true.” I stepped back and touched the corner of the table. “You're lying.”“If you want me to tell you the truth, why don't you believe me?” Mia sits in a chair and pulls out a pack of cigarettes from her purse.She lit the cigarette in her mouth with a lighter and a ring of white smoke came out of her mouth.“Why don't you sit down?” Mia pointed to the old couch in the living room with her cigarette in her hand. “I don't want to see you pass out on the floor.”“I went up to the sky club years ago to be a dancer, and I met Jeff one night, and I became his mistress. He told me that he had a wife, but
