8amThe plane coming from China had successfully landed at Phoenix city’s largest airport. In a hurry, Garrett rushed out of the plane, making it look as if he was being chased by someone dangerous. Barrett went after Garrett because he had no choice. Garrett had triumphantly arrived outside the airport after passing through the airport’s security procedures. He hailed a cab before he saw that Barrett had not yet arrived at his side. Turning behind him, he said impatiently, “Hurry up, Barrett! We have to get into the cab together. Or are you planning to hail a different cab for yourself?”. “Ugh, he's making it quite obvious that he's in a hurry”. Barrett mumbled under his breath before he arrived at Garrett's side.After Barrett and Garrett had entered the cab, the driver put their luggages inside the boot and subsequently entered the cab before he drove off. “Garrett, you can ease your mind now. It's an hour's drive. Pretty soon, we'll see our sister”. “You're right, Barrett.
The cab driver stopped the car after arriving at the destination. Garrett got out of the car quickly, and rushed into their mansion. He didn't even remember to take his luggage with him.Barrett also got out of the car. He shook his head because of the way Garrett had behaved. He was sincerely glad that they had arrived because Garrett had been so impatient during the drive. And Garrett's impatience made him uncomfortable. “Young sir, why is your brother behaving so desperately? Is he eager to see his wife or children or someone important? I had to speed up because of him”. The cab driver suddenly asked, as he gave Barrett the two luggages that were in his hands. Barrett collected both luggages from the cab driver's hands. ‘Can he talk? What a surprise. He didn't say a single word throughout the drive, so I assumed he was a mute’. He mused. “Young sir?”. “Oh, here you go”. Barrett paid the cab driver, before he turned and was heading toward the gates. He didn't answer the cab dri
“So, after you and Barrett left the city, Vivianne saved a stranger who was shot in his leg. After that, Vivianne booked for me and her a month of training sessions at the boxing gym, and our coach there was Jimmy. To cut the story short, my fake father attacked the mansion and tried to take me away, but before that could happen, Mr Alan and uncle Alastair showed up”. Kelly explained. ‘So it was Mr Brooks who attacked the mansion that day? I should have clearly known. How dare he do that?’. Alastair thought, before he secretly clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. His face also darkened. Kelly was feeling extremely excited to share all the story with Barrett and Garrett, so she continued to explain, “Mr Alan and uncle Alastair then took Vivianne and I with them. I bet they couldn't bear to leave Vivianne behind in the mansion, because it would probably be dangerous for her there”. “Tsk. Says who? Alan and I would have endured perfectly if we had left Vivianne behind”. Alas
1pm, Barrett and Garrett, including Kelly, were extremely anxious because Vivianne had already been moved to the operating room. Even the neurosurgeon, including the chief resident, had entered the operating room, as they were now ready to perform neurosurgery (aka brain surgery) on the patient. The doors to the operating room were shut. Garrett was so nervous and unsettled. He couldn't control the way he was feeling. He said, “Barrett, please tell me everything is going to be alright. Tell me, our little sister is going to be okay. Just tell me any assuring words”. Because of the way Garrett was behaving, Alastair looked at him in disbelief, and said, “Please, stop being a crybaby. You're hurting my ears with those loud noises of yours”. Garrett immediately focused his gaze on Alastair and glared at him. “Mind your own business, Alastair. And why aren't you worried about Vivianne? After all, everything happened under your watch!”. He growled. Alastair also glared at Garret
“Theodore is the one calling you, Aurora? But what does he want from you?”. Raquel raised an eyebrow as she asked her. Upon hearing Raquel's questions, Aurora gestured her hands, indicating that she had no idea. She was staring at Raquel when she replied, “I have no idea why Theodore is calling me. But, there's obviously a way to find out”. After saying this, Aurora turned to Genevieve and asked her, “Mom, should I answer the call? Or should I ignore it?”. ‘Hmm’. Genevieve put her fingers on her chin as she was carefully thinking about what decision to make. “Well, mom?”. Aurora asked, because the call would soon end if she didn't answer it right now. “Alright. You can answer the call, Aurora. I'm also curious to know why Theodore is suddenly calling you today”. Genevieve said to Aurora, before she nodded at her in acknowledgment. Aurora also nodded at her mom. “Here goes nothing”. She said, as she finally answered the call. Immediately after the call was answered, a deep vo
Theodore couldn't believe what nurse Chu hua had informed him about. He wanted to see the patient with his own eyes, before he would believe. He ran out of his condo as if he had seen a ghost. The minute he arrived at the condo's parking lot, he entered his car, after which he drove off to the hospital. Because Theodore was careful with observing the road traffic signs, he arrived at the hospital a few minutes later than he had expected. He parked his car and got out of it, before he hurried toward the building before him. Theodore located the vip ward that he had in mind. He halted as he heard voices inside the ward. He wanted to see what was going on, causing him to enter the ward without a moment’s hesitation. Upon arriving inside the ward, Theodore was stunned when he saw Beatrice there. “Lady Beatrice, what a splendid surprise. I had no idea you would come”. Beatrice stopped the thing she was doing and looked at Theodore, who had talked to her. She replied to him, “I oug
Pearl wiped the tears from her eyes before turning to Beatrice, who was staring at her. She said, “Young lady, can you please help me out? I want to return home to my family”. Although Beatrice felt a little unhappy, she was glad that Pearl had not only woken up, but had also regained her sound health. She replied to her, saying, “Ma’am, you don't have to worry about anything. I will help you return home whenever you want”. “How about tomorrow? I want to see my family as soon as possible. I want them to know that I am alright”. Pearl replied to Beatrice without hesitation.After giving thought to what Pearl had to say to her, Beatrice announced, “I'll try my best to arrange your flight today. So that tomorrow, you can travel to Phoenix City”. “Wait”. Out of the blue, Theodore said to them. “What is it, Theodore?”. Beatrice asked him.“Tomorrow will be my flight to Phoenix City, lady Beatrice. I know someone at the airport who could schedule a flight for her tomorrow, as soon as po
The next day, in Shanghai, China It was morning in China, and Theodore had prepared for his flight to Phoenix city. He dressed in casual wear, as he found it really comfortable. There was a charming smile on his face as he dragged his luggage with him and left his condominium. When he arrived outside, he hailed a cab and entered it. He didn't drive his car to the airport because there was no point in doing that. It took a few minutes before Theodore arrived at the airport. He paid the driver and got out of the cab, before walking toward the airport. Upon his arrival inside the airport, he saw that both Beatrice and Pearl were already waiting for him. Theodore went to their side with haste. He was surprised when he said, “Both of you came to the airport earlier than I expected”. “Of course, Theodore. Lady Pearl and I ought to arrive at the airport on time. We wouldn't want to miss our flight”. Beatrice replied to him. And after briefly staring at Pearl, who looked dist
Beatrice parked the car outside the hospital as they arrived. They all got out of the car, before Barrett and Garrett led the way. One of the nurses saw the two new faces who were about to enter Vivianne's ward. She wanted to stop them and ask questions, but later decided not to because she trusted Barrett and Garrett, who were with them. As they finally entered Vivianne's ward, Pearl’s eyes coincidentally darted to the bed. There, she saw her daughter, Vivianne, who was asleep at the moment. “Anne. My precious Anne”. Pearl muttered as she approached the bedside. She carefully sat on the bed as she didn't want to wake Vivianne, who was sound asleep. Pearl's eyes were filled with love and tears as she watched her daughter. The last time she saw Vivianne, Vivianne was a little girl. But now, things have changed. Vivianne was now a fully grown-up lady. And despite these great changes, she easily recognised her as her daughter. Vivianne's face was not pale, causing Pearl to feel at
Mr Hart’s mansion,Theodore was inside one of the guest rooms. He was standing, the same as Raquel, who was making sure that the room was in order. A smile was on his face as he stared at Raquel. “Raquel, I have told you, Aurora and your mother countless times, it's not that late. I can return to my hotel room”. “Don’t argue with me, Theodore. I'm older than you, and I know better. Stay here tonight, and tomorrow, you and I can go to your father's company and prevent those greedy shareholders from taking over the company”. Raquel scolded him. “We're the same age”. Raquel turned to Theodore upon hearing what he said to her. She said, “I'm a month older than you. So, logically speaking, it counts. I'm older”. Theodore quietly nodded at Raquel because he didn't want him and her to start arguing with each other. “Good. Now, goodnight and sleep tight”. Raquel patted Theodore's shoulder and said this to him, before she turned to the exit door and began to leave the room. “Wait, Raq
Barrett and Garrett had to look at each other because of the dangerous aura their mother was emitting. Without any doubt, they came to the conclusion that Vivianne and their mother had similar characteristics. “Mother, please calm down. Don't get angry too much. Mr Brooks has already been caught and punished. He would spend the rest of his life behind bars until he dies”. Garrett assured her. “But what does that change, Garry? Him spending his remaining life in jail doesn't mean your father and grandparents will ever come back to life”. Pearl said to him, before she stood up. She started pacing back and forth as she ran her fingers through her hair.After she stopped pacing back and forth, she asked, “You said your father's body hasn't been found, right? So I believe he is not dead. He's probably alive somewhere. I am going to find him no matter what! Anyway, where is your sister? Why don't I see her?”. Garrett breathed out in relief upon seeing that Pearl had calmed down. He ans
“Everyone, let's quickly go inside the mansion”. After they stopped hugging, Barrett said to them. He opened the gate using its remote, before he collected the sports car key from Garrett and went and entered the car. As Barrett drove into the mansion, Garrett, Pearl, including Beatrice, who had decided not to leave, entered the mansion.The gate was locked by Barrett after he had gotten out of the car. “Please, mom, follow me inside the house. Have you eaten dinner?”. Barrett asked her. “No. She has not eaten anything yet. She didn't even eat lunch”. Beatrice replied to Barrett on behalf of Pearl, who had almost replied to Barrett.“Who…?”. Barrett asked. It was now that he and Garrett noticed the unfamiliar face, Beatrice. Beatrice paused when she saw how Barrett and Garrett were staring at her with suspicious eyes. “Oh”. She reacted after she understood why they were staring at her. She introduced herself, “I am Doctor Beatrice. I'm the owner of Beatrice's hospital, which is lo
It was evening and Barrett and Garrett left the hospital. They were returning home as they wanted to take their baths. Their bodies were itching them, since their last bath was last night. Garrett was the one who was driving the red sports car, because last night, Barrett was the one who drove. …..Pearl and Beatrice had been waiting outside the mansion's gates ever since the moment they arrived, as Pearl was serious about not leaving.‘I’m so tired and hungry. I haven't eaten lunch or dinner. My stomach is currently angry at me’. Beatrice thought to herself while she kept a poker face. She couldn't let Pearl see that she was exhausted. After waiting for 10 more minutes, Beatrice gave up. She stopped squatting on the ground and stood up. She extended her right hand towards Pearl, who was squatting and said to her, “Please, Lady Pearl, let's return to the hotel. You haven't eaten for hours. That's not good for your health. Let's return so that I can examine your health”. “No. I'm
“Axel?”. Theodore muttered and walked towards him. With doubt in his heart, he asked, “How did you know I was going to come here by this exact time? Is that the reason why you stood here and were waiting for me?”. “Don't be so surprised, cousin”. Axel said. He removed his hands which were in his trousers' pockets before he added, “Aurora called me last night and told me that you had returned to Phoenix City. She also told me that you were going to come to the mansion today. And I know you, cousin. I knew you would come here by this time. That was why I left my condo and arrived at the mansion earlier than you, and ordered the security guard beforehand to let you in when you arrive”. Theodore chuckled, because to him, Axel sounded unbelievable. He had a puzzled look on his face as he curiously asked, “So you did all that for what? Simply to see my face or what? Am I so special?”. “Of course not, cousin. You're not special. I only came here to tell you not to cry”. Theodore furrowed
Brianna ran to her car and was panting fast. “Mother, please you have to listen to me. Everything that my father has done seriously has nothing to do with me! I truly love my husband so much”. She pleaded and tears were pouring out of her eyes, but that only made Lucy get angrier at her. “Get away from here before I do what I'll regret, Brianna! Just get away from here!”. Lucy warned her. “Mother, please listen to me. Remember that you always used to listen to me. But why not now?”. Brianna felt her voice cracking as she said to Lucy while crying. Her throat was in deep pain because she was mentally and emotionally broken and hurt.“Just go away from here, Brianna. I'm angry. I'm sure you already know what I can do when I get angry”. Lucy said to her. She glared at Brianna, before she turned her back against her and returned to the house, leaving Brianna outside. After Lucy left, Brianna rested her back on the car and used it as her support as she slowly sat on the ground. “It- why
12pm,“Lady Pearl, I am now aware of the location of the Beckham family’s new mansion”. Beatrice announced, and a drop of tear escaped from Pearl’s eyes. “Are you telling me the truth?”. “I would never lie to you, Lady Pearl”. Beatrice promised her with a smile on her face. Some hours ago,“My family…. I have twin boys. Their names are Barry and Garry. But my father-in-law loves to call them Barrett and Garrett. Also, my last child’s name is Vivianne, and my husband's name is…” After Pearl told Beatrice about everything she remembered concerning the Beckham family, Beatrice immediately started to call several people. Some of those people whom Beatrice called reside in Phoenix City, so she was certain that they must have an idea about where the Beckham family were currently living. Out of all the people Beatrice had asked, only one of them knew about the Beckham family she was talking about.“Are you sure you know about the Beckham family I'm talking about?”. Beatrice asked the
“Stop pretending to be hurt, Brianna. I know you're just pretending to be hurt, so that you'll gain my sympathy”. Kendrick glared at her and said to her. With the way Brianna was trembling, he thought that she was acting.Brianna opened her mouth and tried to say something. Unfortunately, her voice was nowhere to be found. “I have loved you, Brianna. I married you even after you spiked my drink. But you repaid me with your betrayal. I thought I knew you. I guess I was wrong. I never for once knew the real you”. He said to her.. And after he had turned his back against her, he added, “I hope your father suffers in jail or gets a death sentence. He deserves that for killing Vivianne's family”. Kendrick hissed, before he walked away and was heading upstairs to his room. “Ah”. Brianna whimpered. She was sitting on the floor, before she laid on the floor and continued to whimper. ‘What did I do wrong to deserve this ill-treatment from the one I love?’. She thought to herself as tears co
