Just as Susan gathered the courage to approach him, John pulled the blanket over himself and lay down to sleep.Susan closed her eyes, cutting off her thoughts.After being exposed to many wealthy people, Susan had gradually looked down on John. That little thought earlier was just a person's physiological instinct.Susan stared at the ceiling and asked, "John, I have a question for you. If one day Lewis leaves Judy, would you take her back?"This question made John sit up abruptly, his voice stern: "Susan, how can you think like that."Susan replied sarcastically, "I'm just being honest. What background does Judy have? How could Lewis really marry her? That's absurd. Lewis isn't stupid;豪门alliances are about matching status. Besides being young and beautiful, what other virtues does Judy have? Lewis isn't short of young and beautiful women."Susan's words were realistic, and John couldn't help but worry about Judy.Men are fickle, especially wealthy men like Lewis. Who can believe in
Amelia's words hit Perona right in the heart.Perona's eyes were red, and she was at a loss with her daughter. She so badly wanted to teach her daughter well."Amelia," Perona wiped her eyes, "I've been trying my best to make up for you, hoping for your sake. No parents in the world would wish their children ill. Your father passed away early, and I wasn't by your side. How can I make up for the fifteen lost years?"Amelia's leg was injured, so she could only stand on one foot or lie in bed.Hearing Perona's words, Amelia showed no gratitude and said, "Then why did you fire Judy? I don't want to see her. Mom, you used to give me whatever I wanted. I fired Judy, so why did you call her back?"Amelia just didn't like Judy from the start. She instinctively felt that Judy would take away everything from her.Perona replied, "I'm just discussing the matter at hand. Judy is very capable and a talented person worth cultivating. And she didn't make any mistakes. Amelia, my company will eventu
Lewis hadn't left; he was sitting outside on the balcony, conducting a video conference.To avoid disturbing her sleep, he had closed the sliding door and was wearing headphones.He wore white casual clothes, his face expressionless, always cold and distant to the outside world.He once said that if a person was nice to everyone, they would inevitably attract unnecessary trouble. As the head of Caler Group, he also needed to be imposing enough to keep his subordinates in check.His smiles and gentleness were reserved for her.Judy, wearing his shirt, leaned against the door and window, silently watching him.Her nightgown from last night had been torn by him, so she just picked up one of his clothes and put it on.She wasn't wearing a bra, and her legs were exposed, which made her look very enticing just by standing there casually.Her body bore marks from last night.Lewis saw her and lost all interest in the meeting.He quickly ended the video conference, took off his headphones, an
Before meeting Lewis, Judy was strong-willed and relied on herself for everything.Without any background, she could only rely on her own efforts to live a stable life in Birmingham.Now that she had Lewis, he slowly eroded her tough heart, making her softer, as if she had found her roots.They now had a home, and home was the root.Judy also longed for a home. As an orphan, she was like a drifting weed, now it was different, she had a home.A marriage certificate tightly bound her and Lewis together, making them family.She sat on the edge of the bed, and he kissed her lips: "Have some fruit first. We still have some time before dinner.""Okay." Judy relaxed and took a break....After talking to Judy, John lit a cigarette. He had just smoked halfway when his boss came.The boss slapped John on the forehead: "I pay you to work, not to enjoy yourself here. You've been at the law firm for so long and haven't improved at all. Lately, you've been late, leaving early, and taking leaves. J
John donated blood, trying to get a bit more money, he said to the staff, "Draw more blood, I'm in good health." The staff said, "You can only draw so much at a time, any more would be too much, eat some eggs to replenish yourself when you get back." After donating blood, John received eggs and milk, thinking to take these back to nourish his parents and older brother. Checking the time, John hurriedly drove to the place for dinner. The place Lewis chose, even if it was ordinary, was still somewhere John could not afford. He was stunned by the grand and imposing entrance when he arrived. The service here was good, with a waiter leading the way in. The restaurant was huge, and John followed the waiter for a long time. "Sir, this is it." The waiter pushed open the door to the room. John looked at the splendid decoration and guessed who might be inside. Sure enough, when John walked in, he saw Lewis and Judy sitting in the private room. "John." Seeing him arrive,
Bill was astonished. Someone like Lewis was a person from the upper echelons of society that they could never reach. Tim carefully look: "Sir, it seems to be John. John is really hiding his light under a bushel, knowing Lewis." "Follow them to see." Bill, to be sure, quietly followed behind. When he saw with his own eyes that Lewis was helping John into the car, he confirmed that John knew Lewis, and it seemed that they had a pretty good relationship. John, drunk, had poor self-control and shouted loudly, "Drink, drink more, I'm not drunk. Lewis, I'm telling you, you can't bully my sister. I'm not just a figurehead as her brother..." "John, you've had too much to drink." Judy had never seen John so drunk before, and he was talking without restraint. She quickly helped steady him and closed the car door. Lewis, having drunk alcohol, could not drive, but a driver was already waiting for him. The driver started the car and asked, "Sir, where to?" Lewis looked at Ju
The inside of the wedding ring was engraved with letters, the capital letters J and L, the abbreviation of Judy and Lewis's names. This careful thought and romance are the true value of the wedding ring. Judy smiled: "Lewis, you always surprise me." He tilted his head slightly and said in a deep voice by her ear: "There will be more surprises in the future, dear wife, look forward to it." "I'm looking forward to it." Judy laughed. The elevator opened, and the two walked home hand in hand. They were still staying in a hotel today. ... John dozed off on the sofa for a while, and the alcohol gradually sobered him up. When he opened his eyes, he saw Scarlett beside him. John propped himself up and said, "Mom." "John, you're awake. Are you thirsty? Do you want some water?" Scarlett asked with concern. This concern made John a little flattered, because after recognizing his biological parents, this was the first time he felt cared for. "Mom, I'm not thirsty."
John's sudden change in attitude, not only buying breakfast but also returning all the previous money to John, made him very flustered. John stood up: "Bill, thank you, I will work hard. I'm going to Kunsei Group to talk about a cooperation now." John was afraid that his boss would find an excuse to fire him. He couldn't lose his job. Bill smiled and said, "I'll let Tim handle this. You don't have to go, John. You're too low-key. You've been in the law firm for so many years and have hidden it well." John was confused: "Bill, what do you mean?" He worried that he might have made another mistake. Bill smiled and said, "Don't pretend to be stupid, I already know. I didn't expect you to be so close to the president of Caler Group. I saw you drinking together last night, and Lewis personally helped you into the car. John, I've submitted a promotion recommendation letter for you. You are now a full-fledged lawyer, no longer an assistant." John finally realized that it
Serina subconsciously glanced at Lewis, who was standing in front of Judy's tombstone. Could it be for him?During these days, Lewis had been very quiet, and his daily routine was to perform the funeral rites for Judy and accompany her on her final journey.He no longer shed tears, but he also had no smile, as if he were just an empty shell.People lined up to offer flowers in their hands, stood in silence in front of Judy's grave for a few seconds, and then walked away, one after another. The funeral lasted until 10 o'clock in the morning.Lewis unexpectedly spoke, addressing his grandmother, "Grandma, let everyone go back. I'll stay here a little longer to keep Judy company."He hadn't spoken for a long time, and when Lewis finally did, his voice was extremely hoarse, and it had changed a bit.The grandmother's eyes were moist, and she nodded in agreement, asking Antonio to see the relatives and friends off.People gradually left, and in the end, only a few people, including Serena,
The helicopter arrived in Birmingham and landed in the backyard of Lewis's villa, where Lewis disembarked carrying the urn."Judy, we're home," he whispered softly, his tone gentle.The others also got off the helicopter, and Antonio, who had already received the news, had prepared a memorial hall at home.After a year, Judy finally returned, but in such a manner.Antonio was waiting at home, and it was only when he saw Lewis holding the urn and getting off the helicopter that he truly believed Judy had passed away, and what Isabella had said on the phone was true.Soon after,The news of Judy's death spread, shocking everyone. How could someone who was fine before suddenly pass away?In the eyes of outsiders, Judy was a person who had survived a shipwreck.Steven also received the news and quickly went to Lewis's house.A memorial hall was set up, with a coffin placed in the hall, and Judy's urn was placed inside the coffin.Lewis invited high monks to perform a funeral service for J
As Hannah said, even if it was a heart-wrenching pain, Lewis would still want to listen. He wanted to know what Judy experienced before her death.Hannah continued, "Judy was afraid of dying because she couldn't bear to leave you and Angel, but we did our best, and the doctors were helpless. She didn't want to die in the hospital; it seemed she was very averse to hospitals. After the doctor said there was no hope, she asked us to take her away, so I took her home, and she passed away in the attic room...""At that time, I promised her to fulfill her last wishes. She couldn't let go of you and Angel, so I went to your side, impersonated Judy, and took care of you and Angel in her place. But I couldn't do it, and in the end, I chose to make you dislike me, to give up on the marriage voluntarily."Hannah paused for a moment and gave a bitter smile, "Judy died when you loved her the most. You will never be able to let go of her for the rest of your life. Judy thought that if you didn't lo
Hannah was worried and wanted to find Lewis.She called the grandmother and only then learned that Lewis was hospitalized in the hospital next door.Taking advantage of the fact that neither Kim nor Guy were in the hospital, Hannah removed the IV needle from the back of her hand and was about to sneak out.However, just as she stepped out of the room, Kim returned from outside: "Sister, where are you going?""I..." Hannah stammered.Kim immediately guessed: "You want to find Lewis? I forbid you to go. You just had surgery. What are you going to do looking for Lewis? He already knows you're not Judy. If he gets angry and hurts you, what then?"Hannah said, "But I can't hide either. Lewis is ill, and everything is because of me. I should go. I owe it to Judy.""You don't owe anyone anything. Judy couldn't have been saved anyway. Even if you hadn't used Judy's heart, someone else would have," Kim said, "Anyway, I won't let you go.""Kim, why are you so heartless?" Hannah got angry, "Judy
Many children nowadays actually understand that the dead are buried beneath the graves.Angel opened her big eyes, which were clear and naive.Such a look, who wouldn't feel heartache upon seeing it?Lewis forced himself to sit up, leaning against the tombstone, his hand stroking it, not knowing how to explain to his daughter.Angel looked at Louis again, "Who is underneath this?"Louis really didn't know how to answer. He glanced at Lewis.Angel's gaze then shifted to Avery, wanting an answer from him.But no one had the heart to tell Angel such a cruel answer.Just when everyone found it hard to speak, Angel reached out her small hand to touch the tombstone and asked softly, "Is my mother buried here?"Angel's words shocked the three of them. How did Angel know?Could it be that there is truly a mother-daughter connection?Seeing that the adults were all silent, Angel suddenly burst into tears, "Mommy, it's mommy, I want my mommy."Angel cried her heart out, and Lewis held his daugh
When a person is at their most helpless and desperate, they hope for miracles, they wish for time to go back.The rain continued to fall, and the temperature at night was very low, so cold that it made people shiver.Lewis lay on the grave like a walking corpse, devoid of any vitality.Louis walked over with an umbrella and held it above his head: "Boss, don't do this. If Judy sees you like this from heaven, she will be upset."Lewis's eyes were open, but it was as if he couldn't see or hear anything. He didn't care about anything or listen to anyone. He just wanted to be closer to Judy by staying close to the grave.God couldn't hear his hysterical cries or see his heart-wrenching pain."Boss," Louis crouched down and persuaded him, "The rain is getting heavier, let's go back first."Lewis's eyes slightly shifted, finally finding a focal point: "Judy is afraid of the cold and the dark. I can't leave her alone here. I need to accompany her.""Boss, I know you're in a lot of pain, but
Isabella's face showed sadness, "Lewis definitely can't handle it. How can a person endure the loss of their loved one twice?"Isn't that like rubbing salt into a wound?"If he can get through this, then we won't have to worry in the future. But if he can't..." The grandmother didn't finish her sentence.Everyone knew the implications of what could happen....Cemetery.The dimly lit cemetery was quite eerie, and someone with a timid nature would probably be terrified to visit.The weather changed abruptly, and a light drizzle began to fall.Lewis, with Judy on his mind, stumbled towards Judy's tombstone after getting out of the car.There were only a few lamps in the cemetery, and one of them happened to be pointing in the direction of Judy's tombstone, making it easy for Lewis to find it at once."Judy, Judy!"Lewis was too eager and overwhelmed with grief. When he saw Judy's tombstone, the sorrow in his heart surged like a floodgate being opened, pouring out. He was walking too qui
The grandmother sighed, "Lewis found out about Judy's passing and couldn't bear the blow.""Lewis knows?" Serina was astonished, "And you all knew too?"Louis was surprised, "Serina, you knew about it early on?"Serina was among the first to know."Yes, Hannah told me before," Serina said, "I was worried that Lewis wouldn't be able to handle it, so I didn't dare to tell him. How did he find out?""Paper can't wrap up fire," Louis said, "Once Hannah fell and was hospitalized, it was impossible to keep it a secret.""Then when Lewis went out just now..." Serina immediately became worried, "What if something happens to him, or he gets the wrong idea?"Avery said, "He probably went to the cemetery to see Judy."The grandmother quickly said, "Louis, go to the cemetery right away and keep an eye on him. Don't let him do anything foolish.""Okay, grandma, don't worry, I'll go there now," Louis assured her.Louis and Avery went together.Serina took the grandmother back to the hotel first, wh
Lewis was emotionally out of control, looking at Hannah's face, he wished he could peel off her skin.That was the face of his wife.He wished he could dig out her heart, for it belonged to his wife.Hannah was unworthy, unworthy of possessing everything that belonged to Judy.If it weren't for this heart, how could he have been deceived and confused, mistaking Hannah for his wife? All the familiarity that Hannah gave him was because of this heart.Angel recognized Hannah as her mother, and that was also because of this heart.In Lewis's eyes, Hannah was the murderer, one of those responsible for Judy's death.Hannah did not defend herself; she knew that Lewis was in a state of rage and would not listen to anything.No one could accept such a thing.Lewis wanted to strangle Hannah, but looking at that face, he couldn't bring himself to do it; it was no different from killing Judy himself.The people outside the room couldn't see what was happening inside, but they could hear it.Reali
