Hearing that Judy had agreed to help, Susan was overjoyed. The heavy debt that had been weighing on her was lifted in an instant. "Judy, thank you," Susan said, but she didn't truly mean it in her heart.To Judy, a sum of over a million was nothing. She had made Susan beg on her knees before agreeing to lend the money. Susan perceived all of this as Judy deliberately humiliating her and vowed that one day she would make Judy kneel and beg as well.Judy did not immediately give Susan the money; the debt collectors had set a three-day deadline, and it wasn't time yet. After leaving Susan's house, Judy first called John: "John, do you know about Susan's debts?""You already know?" John said, "Susan told you?""Susan called me. The debt collectors are at her home asking for money." Judy said, "Such a big matter, why did you hide it from me before?""I didn't want you to worry," John asked, "Did you promise to help Susan pay back the money?""She was kneeling in front of me, pleading." Jud
"Judy, five thousand a month, I can't afford it..." Susan seethed with resentment, wondering why Judy had to make it so difficult for her.Judy had already agreed to lend the money, but she was still making things hard for Susan."You can afford it," Judy replied. "I've made a plan for you. You haven't had a job before, and I've found one for you with a salary of eight thousand dollars a month. You can pay back five thousand, and with the remaining three thousand, you'll have more than enough."Susan had never had a job; she had been lying to everyone. Judy and John were not going to let Susan get away with it this time."Three thousand dollars isn't enough to live on...""Are you borrowing the money or not?" Judy interrupted her, saying, "If you want this loan, then follow the contract. Susan, no one's money falls from the sky."John added, "Susan, we all hope you'll learn a lesson from this. Once this is over, you can start anew."In fact, making Susan pay back the money was a way t
Feeling betrayed by John's suspicion of him, Aaron became furious: "Scarlett, Andrew, let's sell this house and buy a new one in the countryside. We'll have a lot of money left over and can live comfortably for the rest of our lives."Andrew said, "Dad, the housing prices in Birmingham are not cheap. Go ask an agent how much we can sell this house for."About half an hour later, Aaron returned, his face full of excitement: "Andrew, we've struck it rich. I asked, and this house is worth $13 million."Hearing this, Andrew's eyes lit up as if he were looking at a gold mine. In that moment, father and son shared the same thought: to sell the house and move back to the countryside.Both were short-sighted; they only saw the immediate benefits and did not consider the consequences.Scarlett could not hold back: "What's the difference between what you're planning and being bandits? Ask John for his opinion first; we don't even know if he wants to move back with us."Aaron's face darkened: "A
Susan had no choice but to calm down and enter the electronics factory. John accompanied her to handle the employment procedures and brought her to the dormitory, even purchasing necessary daily items and delivering all her clothes and luggage.Sitting on the bed in the dormitory, watching John bustle about, Susan couldn't help but scoff, "You're so obedient to Judy's words. Whatever she tells you to do, you do."John was indeed following Judy's instructions to stay with Susan and assist her with the employment process to prevent any more mishaps."Just stay here and work peacefully." After settling Susan, John stood outside the dormitory door, "Remember to pay back the money on time and work hard.""John," Susan called to him, getting up and approaching, "Tell Judy I said thank you."This "thank you" was not sincere but a means to maintain contact for future opportunities to seek revenge against Judy.John did not notice Susan's intentions, saying, "You still have some decency, not h
Lillian stared at Judy for a long time, feeling uneasy for reasons she couldn't explain. Judy noticed Lillian's gaze and looked back. At the moment their eyes met, Lillian was even more startled, instinctively avoiding eye contact and looking away.Judy found it all very strange, as she didn't know Lillian. However, given the company she was in, it was clear Lillian was not an ordinary person. Judy gave her a polite smile.Perona introduced Judy to Lillian, saying, "She is Judy." Lewis also introduced Judy to the others, "This is my wife, Judy."Lillian suddenly had a suspicion that Judy was the child she had stolen years ago, Perona's biological daughter. Judy's eyes were very similar to Perona's when she was young, and even her appearance had some resemblance.Lillian clearly remembered that Perona's biological daughter had a blue birthmark on her waist, shaped like a moon. Lillian sneakily checked Judy's waist multiple times, but she couldn't see anything through her clothes and st
When John sat down next to Aaron, Aaron smiled and said, "John, you and your mom have been in Birmingham for so long. At first, we thought it was great to live in a big city, but after staying for a while, we still want to go back to the countryside.""You're going back?" John was quite surprised to hear this news. But he also felt a sense of relief.The pressure had been great recently, and he had also considered whether to let his parents move back to the countryside.However, as long as his parents were willing to stay in Birmingham, he would work hard, take good care of them, and fulfill his duties as a son.Aaron nodded, "We want to go back. It's too quiet here, and we don't have any relatives or friends. The pressure in the city is too great. We see you coming and going early and late, and it's also tiring. The pressure of life in the countryside is small, and things are cheaper. In life, isn't it just about living comfortably? There's no need to work yourself so hard. You're my
John left the house and sat alone on the side of the road, constantly smoking.He was filled with his father's words, and it was clear that they only wanted money. The warmth of family he had longed for over twenty years turned out to be an ice cave.John was extremely depressed, and his eyes were moist.……Judy finished the dinner gathering, and Lewis was drunk. She called Leo to help drive and carried Lewis to the car.Leo was surprised; it was the first time in over eight years following Lewis that he had seen Lewis so drunk.Back at the Royal Estate,The inebriated Lewis was like a child, holding Judy's waist: "Wife, I love you. Being able to marry you makes me so happy."Judy was happy to hear this and took out her phone to take a photo of Lewis, teasing him: "Say it again, I didn't hear you clearly the first time. I want to record it, as proof."Any woman, no matter her age, can't resist the words "I love you."Lewis leaned against the bedhead, closing his eyes, and said, "Wife,
"Judy is pregnant? She's carrying Lewis's child?" Amelia was almost furious. "How could she get pregnant with Lewis's child? Aunt, please help me teach Judy a lesson.""Someone like Judy, Amelia, you should stay away from her in the future." Lillian worried that her conjectures might be true and only reminded Amelia to avoid getting into trouble with Judy. "Wouldn't that mean I'm afraid of her?" Amelia was unwilling to let it go. "I can't let Judy get away with this, let her enjoy being Lewis's wife happily.""Amelia, Judy's good days won't last long." Lillian held Amelia's hand and said, "You listen to me, I'm only doing this for your own good. Your main task now is to learn how to manage the company and get your mother's approval, inherit the company smoothly, and then deal with Judy.""When will that happen?" Amelia was impatient. "My mom is biased towards Judy now, comparing me to her, it drives me crazy.""You just need to wait." Lillian gently patted Amelia's hand. "Go rest, I'l
