There was silence on the other end of the phone, followed by a gentle sigh. “Forget about it. Our family will not allow outsiders to learn about what happened in the past, even if she’s your wife. It’ll only do her more harm than good to know about my existence, so remember to keep this a secret from her. Besides, don’t let Mercy visit your place anymore, to prevent unnecessary troubles.”Mother’s voice was laced with evident expectancy but she was left with no alternative than to diminish her hopes.She was fully aware that the family did not want anyone to learn about that particular incident. Otherwise, they would not have announced her death to the public with a fake funeral.She had not returned to the City for over twenty years since her initial departure. She wished to return but she could not bring herself to do it. She understood too well the influence of the family as well as the way the grandpa worked.Back in those days, the yearning to reunite with her son had driven her
Surprised, Cherry blinked. She had seen it with her own eyes, how could she have been wrong?Mercy probably phoned her intentionally to explain again, out of fear that she would be a gossip. Therefore, she played along and replied absentmindedly, “Yup, okay, got it.”Mercy discerned the indifference in Cherry’s voice but there was only so much she could do.“Please come back now, I’m leaving soon.” The main objective for Mercy’s phone call was to persuade Cherry to come home quickly. Otherwise, who knew what her Brother was capable of doing?“You’re leaving?” Cherry questioned in an unnatural high-pitched voice.The unexpected response caught Mercy by surprise. Why was her Sister-in-law so emotional at the news of her departure? Was that a sign of excitement or reluctance?“Miss Mercy, Larry is in such a terrible mood right now. What would happen if you just take your leave?” Cherry was embarrassed about her lack of manners earlier and quickly regained her composure. Her voice was cal
Mercy blinked. She found herself admiring her adorable Sister-in-law even more than before.Cherry ended the call abruptly. She believed things would be alright since Mercy was at the villa. Therefore, there was no need for her to return. Well, she could not return anyway.Besides, her darling Tania was staring at her intently from the bed.She still needed to accompany her to sleep, after all.“Hahaha…” After Cherry hung up on her for the second time, Mercy could not resist herself anymore and she finally burst out laughing.Simultaneously, someone’s face was completely overcast, like the sky before a thunderstorm. There was not one tiny crack among the dense clouds that could allow a ray of sunlight to seep through.How could that woman throw him into the arms of another woman?Was she aware that she was his wife? His legally married wife!“Brother, the fire in you is surging. You should go look for Sister-in-law to put out the flames.” Mercy teased as she threw a sardonic look towa
Cherry was in utter shock. She was confident that Larry would be at work by now. Why was he home?Besides, why did he grab her so abruptly?Was he attempting to get even for yesterday?Anyway, Mercy came home in the end so he was probably in good company last night.She raised her head to meet his gaze. He appeared as indifferent as usual yet there was an expression on his face she could not quite place.At this moment, she could not discern too much emotions from his eyes. The fury and coldness in his eyes from last night had disappeared and was now replaced by a peculiar calmness.“Don’t you have work today?” she heaved a sigh silently. The calmness that spread across his face made her heart pound.The corners of Larry’s lips twitched into a faint smile at the sound of that. “I was waiting for you.”It appeared that she had decided to come home at this time deliberately because she thought he would be at work by now.Well, it seemed she had given a lot of thought to it!!!Therefore,
“Has that woman returned again? Is she staying in your villa?” Grandpa's harsh tone blasted through the phone. Cherry who was right next to Larry could hear grandpa’s roar. She immediately regained her consciousness upon hearing the ear-splitting reproach. Larry’s face darkened visibly. “Have you lost your mind? How could you allow her to stay in your villa? Don’t you worry that your wife will learn about it? Although your wife is not too bright, she might figure it out eventually. Chase that woman out of your villa right this instant.” A spark flashed across Cherry’s eyes. She was still in a daze even though she was slightly more alert now. However, she suddenly thought Grandpa was rather ridiculous. No matter how stupid she was, surely she was capable of detecting the unusual relationship between Larry and Mercy. Had grandpa thought she was a complete fool? Coincidentally, Mercy was walking past them simultaneously. She heard the old man bellowing into the phone thus she shou
Mercy decided that her treacherous, evil and shameless brother would win over the heart of her Sister-in-law even if he had to resort to deception. Unquestionably, her Sister-in-law was going to be defeated sooner or later. One day, her Sister-in-law would turn into a submissive rabbit that her treacherous and evil Brother could order about. What had happened earlier was the perfect example. Therefore, all of her previous concerns were absolutely unnecessary. “Alright, I’ll take my leave now.” Mercy decided that there was no reason for her to hang around any longer. This caught Cherry by surprise but she did not comment further. In the end, what happened between Larry and Mercy was their personal affairs and she would not stick her nose in their business. The incident from yesterday happened because she was intimidated by Larry. Besides, it had been several days since she last saw her darlings and she really wished to meet them again. Coincidentally, Mercy had called to inform h
Her Senior mentioned his capability specifically instead of his family’s capability. There was a massive difference between the two. “Uh-huh.” A satisfied smile spread across the man’s face. Of course, it was a muted smile hence Cherry could not hear nor see that. “His personal influence is possibly ten times more powerful than the family's Company. I fear that it would be quite difficult to defend against,” the man said again after a couple of seconds. There was an innuendo behind his words. He mentioned the capability of ten Companies could not triumph over Larry’s personal influence to highlight the possibility that the latter might not really be bothered about that Company. The highly intelligent Cherry understood it immediately. However, it did not matter if Larry genuinely cared about the Company or not. A contract had been signed. She had also promised him earlier that she would not bring up a divorce before he acquired the Company. Naturally, she would keep to her promi
Hardy was willing to marry her? On what terms?He would only agree to marry her if she forgave Nelly!What a ridiculous joke.“Mr Hardy, I’m sorry but I think there’s been a misunderstanding.” However, Cherry did not make things difficult, seeing as they were in a public space at the moment. She decided to show mercy, even though both he and Nelly had joined together to attack her at the banquet previously.Cherry sounded nonchalant yet her words reeked of indifference. She reckoned Hardy would be quick to understand her intentions, even if he was not too bright.However, it appeared that she had overestimated his intelligence.He blinked back blankly at the woman. It was said that she had fully recovered from her illness but why did she still seem so silly at this moment? Did she not comprehend what he had just explicitly said?He was a conceited man who firmly believed that she would not reject him. Therefore, he instinctively thought that the woman must have not understood him prop
Originally, Larry had temporarily forgotten about this hurdle. After all, Cherry had promised to remove her disguise in front of him.However, her disguise could not be removed at that moment, and Larry could not see what he wanted to see. Since that matter was brought up again, he wanted to kill someone.He really wanted to kill Bovi at that moment.However, he also hated Cherry. He hated that she was without her disguise when she was with Bovi. She was as beautiful as a goddess. Yet, when she saw him, she put her disguise back on and pretended that it was her original appearance, afraid that he would see her true appearance and be less Interested in her.Why did he have to be treated so unfairly? He was her husband. He was a man worthy of his name.Did she figure it out?“Yes,” Seeing that he asked, Cherry answered truthfully. She had indeed put on a disguise after seeing him.“Cherry, you're really something. Why? He can see your true appearance, but I can't? Hmm?” Larry was fumin
When Larry saw the worry on her face, his chest tightened a little. Of course, he knew that she worried about her senior, not him. To be exact, she was worried that he would harm Bovi.This damned woman, did she forget who her husband was?It was him, he was her husband, her man.However, she was worried about another man in front of him!“I knew about Bovi a long time ago.” Seeing her expression, Larry felt stifled and aggrieved, so he deliberately added, “I know everything, including everything about him in Country M. ”Actually, Larry was not wrong. During this period of time, he had indeed ordered people to investigate many things about Bovi in Country M.Of course this also included Cherry.“To be honest, Bovi really got in my way.” Larry knew what Cherry was worried about, so he deliberately added this sentence, making it ambiguous.“So?” Cherry quietly sighed and looked at him. Although there was not much of a change in her expression, there were still fluctuations in her voice
As he spoke, his lips suddenly pressed against the back of her neck. His teeth opened slightly, and he bit her skin bit by bit. At this moment, he really wanted to bite her to death.In her heart, was Bovi that important?They had been married for so long, so why was he not in Bovi's position in her heart?Feeling that he was biting the back of her neck, Cherry suddenly felt a chill in her heart. She suddenly thought of those vampires on TV shows.Regarding his question, she had been at war with herself for a very long time. In fact, she still did not have a clear answer. However, she felt that if she did not give him a satisfactory answer now, he might really bite her to death, then, he would suck her blood dry like a vampire.When she felt his teeth touching her skin again, she quickly said, “No, you're important. You're most important. ”Larry suddenly stopped moving and paused for a few seconds. Then, he quickly sat up straight and looked straight at him. He said in a deep voice,
Bovi quickly drove away.Larry saw Bovi's car stop. Without any hesitation, he quickly opened the taxi door and stepped out with his long legs while the taxi was still moving.Fortunately, the taxi driver saw the car in front stop and slowed down as well.However, it was still very dangerous.The driver was so frightened that his heart was pounding. Did this person want to lose his life?Who was he chasing so desperately?When Larry got out of the car, he saw that Cherry had already gotten off. Larry's eyes narrowed quickly, and with a few steps, he stood in front of her.At that point, Bovi had already driven far away.The taxi driver parked right behind Larry because Larry had not given him the money for the ride, and the driver did not dare to ask for it.From the driver's point of view, he only saw a woman standing in front of Larry. The corners of the driver's lips twitched slightly.No wonder he chased her so desperately. It seemed like he was catching a woman.Just as Cherry ha
Jerry was about to call when he stopped. Then, he found another phone number and used that number.He originally thought that checking a car on a surveillance camera was a simple matter because there were surveillance cameras on many roads in this City. The car left Garnings Mall, which was the most bustling place with many surveillance cameras.However, Jerry checked all the roads ten miles away from the mall, but he did not find that car.He would not doubt Larry's words, but he really did not find it.Instead, he saw Stanley's car leaving the mall, heading east, wandering on the road…Jerry did not know what had happened, but he felt that it was not a coincidence that Stanley's car had appeared there.“Larry, we did not find the car you mentioned.” Jerry quickly called Larry because he felt that this matter was very important to Larry, so he was afraid that he would delay Larry's matters.“Mm, I got it,” Larry replied in a low voice and did not say much. If Jerry could not find it,
Bovi was a smart person, and he understood Cherry. He knew that under such circumstances, any more words from him would only make her suspicious.He indeed wanted to deliberately separate her from Larry, but he did not want her to notice it.“Alright, then I'll bring the children back first. You should go back as soon as possible.” Bovi forced himself to say something that went against his wishes.“Thank you, Senior. ” The corners of Cherry's lips curled up slightly as he smiled faintly. The children were brought up in Country M. They had a big family there and everyone else was like family. Therefore, she was not worried about them going back.In the past, when she had a mission, everyone would take care of the children.On the other side, Larry looked at the text message sent by Stanley on his phone. His slightly narrowed eyes quickly revealed a strange look before the corners of his lips slowly curled up.On the other side, Larry looked at the text message sent by Stanley on his ph
“I know. Larry just asked you to send the location, right? If that happens, we will likely be exposed. Therefore, I hope you can help us next.” Bovi's tone was full of determination, he sounded very amiable.“What do you mean? How can I help you?” Stanley's brows were tightly knitted together, and there was a hint of doubt in his expression.“You can send the location over to Larry, but after that, you need to walk in the opposite direction of where we're heading to. Just keep walking.” Bovi's expression looked even more gentle, and his words were also very casual.As he spoke, he returned the phone to Stanley. “What? You mean you want me to lie to Larry? Impossible, absolutely impossible.” When Stanley heard his words, he immediately exploded. He shook his head and refused without thinking.Stanley was not stupid, so he naturally understood Bovi's meaning. He couldn't lie to Larry.The last time at the police station, he had no choice but to let that woman leave because Larry still
Moreover, their principal kept nodding and saying yes. It had to be true.“Let's go.” He looked at Cherry, still smiling gently.“Okay,” Cherry replied softly. She originally thought that her senior's method would be very tough, but the result was not bad. It could be considered robbing the poor to give to the rich.Cherry knew that since her senior would appear, he would definitely know what was going on. Therefore, she did not need to investigate further and could directly ask her senior.“Hubby, why do you have to do this? Why do we have to listen to him?” The fat woman came back to her senses and felt her heart ache. Her kindergarten no longer belonged to them, yet they still had to pay for it?Was this even logical?“Shut up. I'll be thankful if my son and I can save our lives today.” The man slapped her hard again.Just as Cherry carried Tania out of the office, Bovi took her from Cherry's arms.Cherry was stunned, but she did not say anything. Instead, she reached out to hold Z
When Cherry said that she was going to meet him, Larry clearly heard that she had already gotten out of the car. Logically speaking, she should have arrived a long time ago, so why was she still nowhere to be seen?He knew that she never wanted to reveal the fact that they were married, so if she wanted to look for him, she had to come through his private elevator.Larry walked out of the office and went straight to the private elevator. He saw that the private elevator was still parked on his floor.He then checked all the surveillance videos, but he still did not see Cherry's shadow.He narrowed his eyes and a hint of confusion was on his face. Where did she go?Could she be shopping in the mall below? It was said that women loved shopping in malls.However, after being married to her for so long, he did not seem to have seen her shopping in the mall, nor did he see her buy anything.No, last time, she had bought him a wallet, which was the one he was using now. Just thinking about
