Chapter 121 Expectations Lead to Disappointment
ปรับปรุงล่าสุด:
2024-10-29 19:42:56The faint sound of crying came clearly from the master bedroom. It felt like a thread tightly wrapped around the heart, pulling tighter and tighter, almost stopping the heart from beating.
Ivan pressed his lips tightly without making a sound. He took a few steps back and lowered his voice, "How often does your mom have nightmares?"Todd seemed calm and composed on the surface, but his heart had long been in chaos. He hated Ivan the most, yet he couldn't help but open up to this man.He lowered his head and said, "When I was just a kid, Mom had frequent nightmares, like every three to five days. As I grew older and Mom built her own life and social circle, the nightmares gradually reduced. I consulted a doctor, and they said that if you wake up during a nightmare, it only makes the nightmare deeply engraved in the person’s memory, so I dare not go in...Standing outside the master bedroom, Ivan listened to the cries that grew louder and softer. Suddenly, he thoughtบทที่เกี่ยวข้อง
Mommy's Revenge Chapter 122 Determined to Turn Over a New Leaf
Owen sheepishly lowered his head, his ears turning slightly red.Ivan couldn't help but snicker.This kid always knows how to act cute and please people, when did he start getting shy?He coldly said, "Let's go, back home."Owen's satisfied smile instantly froze on his face.He pitifully grabbed Haley's sleeve and said, "Haley, can I stay here? Please?"Haley patted his head and said, "I have to go to work later, Todd and Angela have to go to school too. What would you do all alone at home?"Deflated like a punctured ball, Owen hung his head and asked, "Can I come over again in the future?""You can, but..." Haley glanced at Ivan, "you must get your daddy's permission. You can't sneak out alone. If you can't do that, then you can't come over anymore.""I can do it! I will definitely do it!" Owen patted his chest, "Don't worry, Haley, I won't secretly run away from home anymore!"Ivan: "..."He scolded, he punished, he almost resorted to ph
Mommy's Revenge Chapter 123 I Will Not Marry You
Emily's eyes instantly turned red.She bit her lip, her eyes welling up with tears, giving her a misty look.Taking a step forward, she complained, "Ivan, last night you left the banquet early without taking me with you. Mr. Robinson ended up giving me a ride home... Do you know how inappropriate Mr. Robinson was? He looked at me with lustful eyes and even grabbed my hand... If I hadn't resisted, he would have almost taken me to a hotel room..."Finally, Ivan looked at her directly. "Why did you resist?"Emily faltered, almost choked by this question.Wasn't resisting a normal reaction? What was there to ask about?But since Ivan asked, of course, she had to give a proper answer.She blinked, and tears streamed down her face. "Ivan, I am not a promiscuous woman... Five years ago, that night between us was the result of various accidents. I regret why I had relations with a man before marriage, but what could I do? You were drunk that night, so strong that
Mommy's Revenge Chapter 124 A Newly Established Studio
Haley drove her two children to school. On the way, she received a call from her assistant, "Have the Winston Group people arrived? You entertain them first, I will be at the company soon."She hung up the phone and drove even faster. Todd frowned, "Mommy, are you working with the Winston Group?""The Winston Group has an intelligent car project, which is quite innovative in the market. I'm quite interested," Haley casually replied. Todd lowered his head. Ivan had entered Mommy's life and now they were also collaborating on work. With more contact, would Mommy fall in love with this man?After all, the news says that Ivan is the man all women in Cuenca want to marry the most."Todd, what's wrong?"Haley saw Todd's expression through the rearview mirror and asked with concern. It seemed that since yesterday, Todd had been in a low mood, seemingly feeling down. "Mommy, I'm fine," Todd forced a smile.Smiling, "I just feel like
Mommy's Revenge Chapter 125 Phone Call Interruptions
Mr. Anderson and Haley shook hands and exchanged a few polite words.Haley smiled and said, "Thanks to my cousin’s help, everything will go smoothly."The office location was arranged by a cousin, and the few programmers in the office were also introduced by him.Without this cousin's help, her studio would surely be in chaos...Mr. Anderson speculated silently. Perhaps their General Manager, Miss DeRoss, was just a figurehead, and not actually involved in the company...However, Mr. Anderson, seasoned in the workplace, knew better than to show too much emotion in front of a business partner. He proceeded professionally, saying, "Ms. DeRoss, let's discuss the initial design plan for this project...""Buzz, buzz, buzz."Haley's phone vibrated on the table.She glanced at the caller ID, seeing that it was Thomas, and promptly ended the call. "Apologies, Mr. Anderson, please continue..."Mr. Anderson nodded. "I glanced at the proposal. You are using
Mommy's Revenge Chapter 126 Not Sure of the Project
One second later, her WeChat was bombarded:"Haley, you are so heartless!""Haley, this is the 999th time you have blocked my calls. I'll remember this!""Haley, I was wrong, please give me another chance!"Haley coldly placed her phone screen face down on the desk. She raised her head and put on a smiling face. "I'm sorry, Mr. Anderson, we can continue now. Regarding Visual Studio you mentioned earlier, it is a more traditional programming method. I made some changes to several nodes...""Ms. DeRoss, I think I should take this initial design concept back to the Winston Group for further study," Mr. Anderson said as he stood up. "A-F is a project that the Winston Group has invested heavily in, and there are some details that cannot be decided by just the two of us."Haley nodded with a smile, "Mr. Anderson, you're right. Let's have the Winston Group's technical department review and evaluate it before we discuss the rest."Mr. Anderson left the studio wit
Mommy's Revenge Chapter 127 Move to another country
Mr. Anderson carefully considered his words in his mind and slowly said, "I admire Miss DeRoss's design concept. She has adopted a completely new programming approach, shattering and blending the traditional modular writing into a new set of code rules. I find it quite daring..."Ivan nodded, a hint of appreciation in his eyes.He had dabbled in programming himself, and he was confident that the world couldn't find more than three programmers who would dare to design a project like this.Haley had truly impressed him.He tossed the proposal book over, saying, "There are benefits in taking risks. The initial draft is finalized for now. You continue to negotiate this project."After Ivan finished speaking, he went straight into the CEO's office.Luke patted Mr. Anderson's shoulder. "Mr. Winston is very optimistic about this project, Mr. Anderson...""If you get this done, you might even get a promotion and a raise!"Mr. Anderson gave a bitter smile.
Mommy's Revenge Chapter 128 He Doesn’t Want to Marry Her
"If the air in C country was good, do you think I would choose to live in Australia?" Mrs. Winston coldly remarked. "I've asked someone to bring Owen back to accompany me for a few months.""No," Ivan decisively refused. "I've arranged courses for him and he can't go to Australia right now.""Ivan, I'm getting old and I need someone with me," Mrs. Winston's tone was harsh but somewhat pleading. "Living alone in Australia, in such a big estate, do you know how I spend my days? I don't expect you to come visit me, I just want one of the two children to come and accompany me for a while. Will you also refuse this?"Ivan fell silent, a rare occurrence.After the two children turned one month old, he sent them to Australia to be taken care of by his mother.One reason was that he couldn't yet accept the sudden arrival of two children, and the other reason was that his mother had longed for grandchildren. Sending them to Australia seemed to fulfill her wish.Little
Mommy's Revenge Chapter 129 The New Manager
"Auntie, marriage should exist out of love," Catherine's lips curved into a smile."Without love, marriage is a grave. Of course, Ivan wouldn't want to build a grave for himself just for the sake of the children."Mrs. Winston shook her head, not saying anything.After so many years in Australia, she had long lost control over her son. Whatever she said had no meaning."Auntie, I really like Ivan's view of love," Catherine suddenly looked down and smiled. "I've known you for so many years, and I hear Ivan's name every day, but it's like I've never seen him before. Do youhave a picture of Ivan?"Mrs. Winston glanced at Catherine.Four or five years ago, Catherine appeared in her life. She would come to see her every day, and she would confide in this twenty-something young girl.Even the misunderstandings between her and Ivan, she had told Catherine everything.If Catherine became her daughter-in-law, then the misunderstandings between her and Ivan would surely be eased because of Cath

After a thorough read, she folded the document and spoke up, her voice indifferent, "Kid, who drafted this contract?""Our young master did," replied Russell, “Ms. DeRoss, if everything looks fine to you, the contract will take effect once you sign it."Haley chuckled. She was striking, exuding a bewitching charm.And yet, within the depths of her clear eyes, there was a peculiar blend of innocence and mystery.Keith felt his defenses soften and his detachment give way when he saw her smile. It was as if a hole had been poked through his armor of indifference.Realizing too late that he had been staring at Haley for a while, frustration surged within him.This woman must have used that same smile to ensnare Dad and confuse Owen..."I see a problem," she said, her smile vanishing.She leaned forward, a sense of authority emanating from her.Looking Keith straight in the eye, her lips twisted into a disdainful curve, "You should be in school at your age, not out here trying to show off.
Mommy's Revenge Chapter 187
Transmedia Tech, an internet media company.Two years ago, there were rumors of its bankruptcy, and after being acquired, it suddenly came back to life and became a leading player in the internet industry.However, there is not much information about this company on the internet.Haley glanced at Transmedia Tech's profile and said lightly, "What time did they make an appointment?""Half past two, at Pennie Coffee."After finishing her work in the morning, Haley drove straight to Pennie Coffee.She arrived ten minutes early, ordered a cup of coffee, and began to read the information on the internet.She searched for the company again, but she still couldn't find much info, and even the investor info behind it had been removed.It can be seen that this company has a lot of connections.She just didn’t know why this company would take a fancy to her newly opened studio.Haley waited for about five minutes before she heard footsteps outside the private room.She straightened her collar an

Keith thought that Haley had also planned to gain the trust of the entire Winston family through Owen. This woman's quite a schemer. Keith knew he had to be cautious......Haley picked up the kids and went home. When she was cooking dinner, she received a video call from Owen."Haley, why didn't you come to see me?" Owen's voice was still weak, "I'm so bored here in the hospital all alone. Could you come keep me company? I want to hear stories..."Haley shook the ladle in her hand, "It's too late today; I'll come see you tomorrow and bring you some cookies I've baked.""You're the best, Haley!" Owen's enthusiasm was palpable.Haley’s lips curled into a smile, "Get some rest now, and don't stay up too late, okay?""How about a goodnight kiss, then?" Owen puckered his lips towards the phone screen, a bandage still wrapped around his head, looking both pitiful and comically adorable.Laughing, Haley pressed a kiss to her phone screen and then ended the call.Carrying the freshly stewed

"The timing is too perfect, isn't it?" Keith said slowly, "Owen got in a car accident, and Haley just happened to be there and then saved him by donating her blood to him. What a coincidence!"His voice was deep and raspy, unlike a four-year-old boy.Ivan's eyes narrowed, "You think Haley staged the accident?""She had a motive," Keith pressed his lips together firmly and continued, "Surely you're aware of the bad blood between Mom and Haley...""It wasn't her," Ivan stated flatly.He had already been briefed on the accident. It was indeed premeditated. Someone had the audacity to target his son. But that someone couldn't possibly be Haley."Dad, are you so certain it isn't this woman when the investigation is still ongoing?" Keith's voice chilled, "What if it turns out to actually be Haley?""She wouldn't hurt Owen," Ivan looked at him with conviction. "She saved your brother; you shouldn't suspect her."Darkness crept into Keith's eyes.His moth
Mommy's Revenge Chapter 184
Taking a deep breath, he said, "Don't worry, Mom, I'll have someone look into it. I won't let anyone hurt Owen."After she voluntarily donated blood to save Owen, it's unlikely she'd attempt anything against him again anytime soon..." Emily's voice was husky and choked with emotion. "Now that she's gained your dad's trust, I’m sure she'll make her move... Keith, I’m really scared she’ll hurt you or Owen. I’d rather she came after me...""It won't happen."Keith ended the phone call.He turned to his assistant, Russell, and said coolly, “Check out that car accident near the DeRoss Group building. See what that was all about.”Russell nodded, “Will do, Mr. Winston.”He pulled out his phone and started making calls...Keith instructed his driver, "To the hospital."As the car glided smoothly down the road, they hadn't even reached the hospital when Russell received a call from the traffic police.The majority of the time, Maple Street is congested, w

Keith had been involved in the family business since the age of three.The company under his operation, Transmedia Tech, was a subsidiary that the Winston Group had planned to divest from two years ago.He took over the day before its planned bankruptcy.Now, after a year of shrewd management, Transmedia had become one of the top three most profitable subsidiaries of Winston Group.Keith, having just finished a meeting, felt a nagging unrest.He was usually a calm person, but his current anxiety exposed a vulnerability reflective of a four-year-old child."Young Master, you've pretty much wrapped up all your work for today. Perhaps you should head back and rest?" suggested his young assistant, Russell, with due respect.Keith shook his head.He sensed discomfort.Had something happened to Owen?He was about to reach for his phone to call Alfred when his phone began to vibrate.He glanced at it. The incoming call was from his mother.Ti

It seemed he didn't really mind the idea of marrying this woman...Haley, with her acute senses, caught Ivan's stare and quickly changed the subject.Her eyes shifted to Owen and she spoke with authoritative firmness, “It might not hurt now, but once the anesthesia wears off, you’re going to be in tears from the pain. You’ll understand then just how terrifying a car accident can be! Owen, if you ever want to see me again, just give me a call. I'll come pick you up myself. If you dare sneak out like you did today, I won't come to see you ever again!”Her face stern, she emphasized each word, her tone leaving no room for protest.Tears pooled in Owen's eyes as he looked at Haley with a plaintive expression, “I won’t ever do it again, Haley... I just missed you too much, I couldn't help myself. I just wanted you to hug and kiss me...”His big eyes were brimming with sorrow, making him look like a forlorn puppy.Haley's heart softened, and she bent down to plant

Chapter 181Ivan took a seat on the other side of the bed.He stated calmly, "Alfred, get some sports drinks, please."Alfred promptly went to carry out the request.In the hospital room, aside from the slumbering Owen, only the two of them remained, surrounded by the sterile scent of disinfectant.With a muted voice, Ivan said, "Thank you for this. Whatever you need, just tell me.""I have a soft spot for Owen. I was more than willing to save him, and…" Haley's voice faltered, a slight bitterness on her tongue, "he must have snuck out to find me. That's how he got into an accident..."Her voice trailed off, her gaze lowered, shielding all emotions.Ivan paused before saying, "He's really fond of you."A gentle smile curled on Haley's lips.Looking at Owen resting in the hospital bed, she couldn't help but reach out and gently touch his face. She felt an immediate warmth towards him when she first saw him at the airport. Owen kept coming back
Mommy's Revenge Chapter 180
His opened his mouth, about to speak, but his phone began to vibrate in his palm, displaying Alfred's name.The sight of Alfred's name sent a sharp pain through Ivan's heart.Whenever Alfred reached out, it was always a matter of urgency.With Owen in surgery and Alfred calling, could it mean…The typically composed man's fingers trembled, requiring two attempts to tap the answer button."Sir, Owen's going to be alright!" Alfred exclaimed, choked with joy, "The surgery's nearly finished and doctors say he should wake up by tonight if all goes well!"Ivan felt a great relief.He walked briskly towards the hospital, concurrently asking, "How was the blood resolved?"He'd made calls, but a resolution couldn't have come this fast."Sir, you might not know yet, but Miss DeRoss, Owen's aunt Haley — she's got the negative blood type!" Alfred rushed out his words, "When Owen had his accident, Haley was there, she brought him to the hospital, and she volun
