The car drove on steadily.It was quiet in the car. Only soft music could be heard.It seemed like Cedric was focusing on driving, but he was actually waiting for Faye's answer. He hadn't expected that Dr. Connor would suddenly come to treat Faye's mother.All these years, he'd exhausted every method trying to invite her, but failed.How could Faye and Dr. Ziegler get her in so easily?Insider info had told him that Alice had arrived in the country with a pack of technologically advanced medical supplies. Only then was Cedric certain that this mysterious Dr. Connor would really appear.He had done so many preparations just to catch her. However, even though this was in Jeorgia, his own territory, he still failed.He just couldn't understand how that woman had managed to escape his traps. He was eager to meet her.When Faye asked him about Dr. Connor, Cedric began wondering if Faye could get her to appear. Even if she couldn't, Faye might know something.However, there was stil
When Faye woke up, it was the third day.She had slept for one whole day and night.Her phone had run out of battery. She charged it and washed up. Humming, she came out from the bathroom and saw sandwiches and milk in the kitchen.While eating, she thought to herself that she'd found a pretty good malewife. Although he didn't have any spectacular attributes, being hard-working and considerate was enough.A simple life like this didn't sound too bad.Faye was shocked by her own thoughts.Was she actually thinking of living with Cedric forever?She shook her head mockingly. Someone like her was destined to dance with danger. How could she dream of a simple and happy life?Her phone began ringing. Faye realized then that her phone had been bombarded with calls.Some of the calls were from the Browns. Lucy Murray, Cedric, the nurses, and a few unsaved numbers had called, too.Right now, it was one of the nurses calling."You've finally picked up, Ms. Brown. Please come to the h
Tracy's reputation was ruined.Although she could probably get out of the police station this time, things weren't looking good for the Browns.Because of Faye, the Browns had wronged the Shaws.Anthon would gain nothing if he went on with marrying Tracy. He would even have to bear all sorts of burdens that came with it.But Faye was different.She managed to forge a relationship with Lincoln and was working at Light Moon Designs.Light Moon Designs was a huge brand internationally. People who could work there were extraordinary.Faye must have had exceptional talents if she had managed to land a spot at the company right after her graduation.The first time Michael saw Faye standing next to Lincoln, he felt that Faye was different.The Browns' schemes against her had all failed, but Faye had managed to emerge victorious from all the challenges. Even Dr. Connor had come to treat her mother.Of course, if Flora hadn't asked Anthon when he was going to marry Faye, the Lynches w
"Fuck!"Just as Faye had invited Lucy to lunch at noon, she received news that C's people had taken Alice away.Faye had given Alice a safe route. She'd also kept an eye on Cedric's movements.But C had still taken her away."Is this a challenge?" Faye gnashed her teeth. She took out an extremely ordinary-looking phone and disassembled it, turning it into a little laptop.With her slender fingers, she began typing on the keyboard.After a few minutes, she found Alice's location. She frowned when she found that it was at a large villa.This place looked familiar.Because of Hank, Faye had investigated the Shaws after coming back to the country. If her memory served her right, that villa was built by the Shaws. On top of that, Alice was right where they were living now.Could it be that the Shaws from Jeorgia and Jorn City were related?Faye stroked her chin. She'd investigated both of these families before, and she hadn't discovered many links between them.Even if there were
After lunch, Faye's phone beeped again.She grabbed it and realized that although their attacks looked demure and harmless, they were about to destroy her last wall of defense.Faye cursed internally and began working at the table at once.She'd underestimated C.Faye hadn't expected that someone who would hire Q to help him find information would be so powerful.If he were so talented, he could have found information about her by himself. Why did he need Q?What Faye didn't know was that Cedric wasn't lacking in talent. He just didn't want to expose his identity.On top of that, even if he had personally done it, it probably would have bore the same results. So why not let Q do it instead?Lucy saw how busy Faye was and sighed, feeling bad for her. She silently took a photo of Faye and posted it on social media."I feel so bad for my baby. She's still working even during meal time," the caption said. There was even a crying emoji next to it.Faye didn't know about this. Ten
Lucy, who was still in a daze because of Faye's beauty, blinked and turned toward the entrance.There was a girl in her mid-20s standing there. She had brown wavy hair and a bow nestled in it. Arrogance and pride were written on her delicate face.She was wearing a pink miniskirt and high heels. She strode haughtily into the shop and pointed at Faye, saying, "I said, I want to buy this outfit. Where's the attendant? Didn't you hear me?""Don't you know what ‘first come, first served' means?" Lucy smirked and shielded Faye. She looked at the arrogant girl in amusement. "Can't you see that my friend is trying it on?""So what if she is? She hasn't bought it yet."Ruth Keane flipped her hair and said cockily, "Does it mean it's hers if she tried it on? Haven't you ever bought anything online before? Whoever pays first gets it."Lucy was exasperated. "But you haven't paid for it yet, either, have you? At least my friend is wearing it. What about you?""So many people try things on i
The scene suddenly fell silent.In the boutique, several shop assistants, including the manager, were all drawn by the noise. They rushed over, attempting to ease the atmosphere.However, when they heard Ruth speaking in a honeyed voice once she got through the phone, they went silent. They all shot sympathetic glances at the previous shop assistant.The manager even silently came up to her and said worriedly, "It is indeed Mr. Colt on the other end of the line. Don't say anything later. I'll deal with it."The shop assistant was touched. At the same time, she also gained the courage to face it head-on.She shook her head. "It's alright. I can handle it."The manager frowned. "What do you mean you can handle it? She's Mr. Colt's sister. You'll lose your job if you offend her."However, the shop assistant stood firm. "Trust me. I really can handle it."Seeing as how the manager was still skeptical and worried, the shop assistant tugged on her hand and pointed to Faye. Dres
When Lincoln arrived at the boutique, Faye and Cedric had already left. Ruth was left behind, heartbroken and hysterical.The boutique staff had stared at Cedric and Faye in envy as they left. Cedric's dominant air paired with Faye's elegance was a breathtaking sight.The way Cedric had told the shop assistant to use his card especially made everyone go weak in their knees.Lincoln was at a loss when he saw Ruth sitting on the ground crying. He tried comforting her for a long while but his efforts were in vain. He was getting desperate.Fortunately, the staff explained that Cedric had come by and even bought a dress for a woman. However, they only mentioned that the woman was Light Moon's employee. They didn't dare expose Faye's identity. But Lincoln knew in an instant. So, Ruth came here to find trouble because she knew Cedric liked Priscilla?But Cedric had happened to be here at the same time. Instead of causing trouble with Priscilla, Ruth was given a taste of her
Official Hart was well aware that if he indeed went to Pembrook, he couldn't successfully assume the role of the leader without the support of the security team. It wasn't that he underestimated himself, but Pembrook was a peculiar city. Ordinary officials who went there could only be puppets. Even those who thought they had some capabilities, like the previous mayor who attempted to overthrow the security team, faced a tremendously tragic fate. His attempt to gain full control over Pembrook doomed his political career and might even cost him his life. Official Hart didn't want to be a puppet, and he certainly didn't want to lose his life. Going to Pembrook was about enhancing his qualifications to open up more opportunities. In simpler terms, it was about building his portfolio.To go to Pembrook, he must have a good relationship with the security team. Now that the captain of the Pembrook Security team had actively approached him, he had nothing to lose. However, Official
Faye had made arrangements for Jeorgia, while Cedric started an investigation into what the Anderson and Garcia families were doing. Faye knew that this was a trap and that nothing happened by coincidence. However, she didn't know what the culprit's motive was. She didn't have to wait for long because she received a phone call from Tracy later that afternoon. "Faye, you could've come at me if you were upset. Why did you target Grandma? She treated you well, yet you killed her over such trivial matters. Are you even human?"Faye smirked. "Since when do you care about her, Tracy?""What are you talking about? That's our grandmother. You did this, didn't you?""Would you believe me if I said I didn't do it?" Faye sneered. "Don't think that you can do anything you want just because you married someone rich. Faye, don't even dream of getting your murderer of a mother out! I won't let you. You better come back to Jeorgia, or this won't ever be over."With that, Tracy hung up.
Clark's words only enraged Flora. Eleanor abused Faye when she was a child, which led to Faye getting sick repeatedly. She even allowed Lizzie to go into their home to poison Faye while Flora was at work. Faye suffered through so much hardship at the time and came close to dying. She was already poisoned when she was pregnant with Faye, which meant Faye was born with poison in her body. Though Flora tried her best to counter the poison, Faye was still more frail than ordinary children. Eleanor knew that Faye wasn't Clint's child, so she had always been displeased with her. "Had I known that she's the kind of person who can harm a child, I would never leave Faye with her." Rage filled Flora's eyes. Just as she was about to leave, Eleanor started coughing on the bed. Clark shouted and ran outside to get the doctor. Until the doctor arrived, there were two minutes when Flora was alone with Eleanor. It wasn't until the doctor arrived that Flora found out Clark didn't even
Lizzie and Clint were momentarily stunned, confused by Tracy's words. "I just received a call from Uncle. He said that Grandma passed away and we need to go home."Clint jolted and collapsed onto the ground. "What?"Tracy smirked. "They can't reach you or Mom, so he called me instead. We need to go home right now.""Ha! So what if she's dead? She doesn't see us as family, so why should we go back?" Lizzie scoffed in contempt. Eleanor disliked her right from the start. If Eleanor didn't stop her from marrying Clint at the very beginning, Flora would have never gotten married to Clint. Though Eleanor helped get rid of Flora in the end, she continued to mistreat Lizzie when she finally married Clint. Eleanor resented Flora for being too strong-willed and disrespectful. However, she looked down on Lizzie for not being as talented as Flora and incapable of bringing more profit to the Brown family. She kept comparing Lizzie to Flora and bossed her around. Lizzie remained patie
"Damn it! Damn it! It has to be Faye! This has to be her doing. Damn it!" Tracy pushed everything on the table to the ground. Her face twisted viciously with anger. Over the past few days, scandals about her have circulated on the internet. Even information about her age when she started sleeping around and the number of men she slept with for money was released. Evidence of her plotting to steal Anthon away and bring down the Lynch family was released as well. On top of that, there was also information about her working with her mother to chase Flora out and claim Brown Corporation as their own. Every misdeed Tracy had ever committed was exposed before the public's eyes. She became the target of all condemnation. There would be different people gathering near their apartment. As soon as they stepped out of the apartment, they would get beaten. The horrible things that Clint and Lizzie did were later released onto the internet as well. The family of three couldn't even get
Monica suffered from severe depression ever since she married Ethan. She was a strong-willed woman who refused to show any weakness. Even when she was hurt, she would suffer alone and kept giving, not asking for anything in return. Ethan married her but didn't love her. On top of that, he picked on her at every turn and gave her the cold shoulder. She began to get depressed a year after marrying him. With her friend's help, she started treatment. However, the treatment process was painful. Throughout the three years she was married to Ethan, she endured his humiliation without rest, which made recovering much harder. One day, she went to the beach and came close to getting washed away. It was Brody who saved her. Brody went there to look for inspiration for his paintings. When he saw Monica, he was sitting afar and drawing. This painting won Brody countless awards. Just as he was about to leave, there was a high tide, and Monica came close to getting washed away.
Ethan sent the photos and returned to his apartment to wait while drinking. Due to the interview that took place at noon, Ethan's divorce stirred up a storm on Facebook. At the moment, he didn't need to pay to obtain attention. After Tracy declared her innocence, everyone considered Ethan a jerk who heartlessly searched for an excuse to divorce Monica. Ethan waited an hour before releasing the photos. Everyone switched from cursing at him to cursing at him and Tracy. This was not what he expected. He gritted his teeth. Just as he contemplated how to deal with this, he received a bunch of photos. Apart from the intimate photos between him and Tracy, there were ones of Tracy with other men as well. There was even proof that Tracy got an abortion when she was still a teenager. Going through everything, he finally realized how wrong he had been. He misjudged Tracy and recklessly divorced Monica. He didn't love Monica and resented her for forcing him to marry her. Howeve
"You look alright. Who would have thought you are the kind of man who would cheat on your wife?" Eleanor didn't mince her words and immediately kept her distance. Mandy smiled. "Tracy, look at what you've done to your boyfriend.""She stole Faye's boyfriend and sent Anthon's family to prison. Now, she's here destroying Mr. Garcia's family. He lost everything because of her. How interesting," Clark chimed in. He still remembered how Tracy insulted him when he tried to ask Ethan for money. He held a grudge. Tracy's expression darkened. She wanted to run, but the reporters had directed their microphones at her. "Miss, why did you choose to be a homewrecker?""Did you know that Mr. Garcia got a divorce because of you?""Do you know how he got to where he is now? It's because of the alliance he formed with the Dalding family through marriage. Without the Dalding family's help, he may have nothing. Will you still love him even if that's the case?"These questions were confrontati
Faye learned about the Brown family being taken to the police station the following morning. Just as she got up, she received a call from the police station informing her that her relatives had been detained due to a brawl. She was urged to head over to mediate the fight. Faye smiled. "I'm sorry, but they are not my relatives. Please handle it according to the law." After hanging up, she looked at Cedric, who was waiting for breakfast. She hugged him from behind and said with a smile, "Guess what interesting scene I witnessed last night?"Cedric turned his head to study the triumphant look on her face. He smiled. "Why don't you tell me?""Ethan and Tracy were caught in bed together. Didn't you know?""I knew." He pinched her face. "I was the one who asked Monica to go over."Faye rolled her eyes and pouted, losing her interest in the matter. "Why are you asking me if you already knew everything?""You saw it with your own eyes, and I'm just guessing. I prefer to hear it from
