"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
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
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
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.
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
A beeping sound filled the air. The door lock flashed red, indicating the password was wrong. Yet, the confused Faye Brown didn't notice this at all. Raising an arm, she pushed the door open."Anthon, I'm back …" Faye said as she threw herself onto the big soft bed. She lifted the blanket and crawled under it."Who are you?" A large, strong hand suddenly attacked her. It grabbed her by the neck, flipped her over, and pressed her against the bed. "Who sent you?" The voice of the male was deep and gruff. The hushed quality of it made it sound rather alluring.Faye wrapped her arms around the man's neck fearlessly. Her eyes were unfocused and filled with longing. It made her appear drunk. "It's me, your baby girl … I like this surprise," she said as she caressed his face.Feeling a sudden rush of heat, she could no longer think clearly and smashed her lips against his. The man instantly stiffened as though he was trying to restrain himself. His eyes were red as he pushed her a
The next morning, Faye was dressed in a white shirt and a pair of jeans. Her long, sleek hair had been tied into a casual ponytail. She glanced at the pair of black-rimmed glasses she'd had with her for the past few years. Then, she tossed them into the trash can. They were a gift from Anthon before she went abroad to study three years ago. He'd said he liked the gentle and quiet persona she gave off whenever she wore them.She hailed a cab and made a stop at her family home. As soon as she entered, she was met with the sight of Tracy and Anthon sitting in the living room. They were holding hands and discussing the matter of their engagement with her parents.Anthon gave her an odd look when he noticed her with her luggage. Tracy, on the other hand, got up and welcomed Faye with a smile. "Faye, you're back. Didn't you say you'd be back last night? Why have you only returned now?" Tracy asked.Faye gave her a contemptuous look. "Don't you already know?""I have no idea what yo
Faye trailed behind Cedric as they exited City Hall half an hour later. She was holding a copy of their marriage certificate."Are you going back to the hotel?" Faye asked him as she put the marriage certificate into her bag."The hotel?" Cedric looked puzzled by her question. "Don't you need to go back to work?" Faye smiled. "Did you take a leave just to get married?"He chuckled. "Something like that …""Treat me to a meal, then." Faye didn't feel like returning home, and her best friend was still at work. All of a sudden, she didn't know where to go. "What do you feel like eating?" Cedric asked."Freesia," she replied. "Did you drive here?""Yes." Cedric nodded and led her to a Maybach parked nearby. Faye was speechless. "Is this yours?"Cedric sensed that she had misunderstood him from her expression. He cocked a brow before replying, "No." The car was registered under his assistant, Mason. "I didn't know …" She smiled before continuing, "You could borrow such a lu
