Terry smiled faintly and replied, "Talk? Do you really think that would ever happen? She'd be the happiest person in the White family to see me dead!"Lisa realized the truth of what Terry had said when she thought about it. Terry had managed to take full control of the White family despite being an illegitimate child. It was only natural that his father's lawful wife and legitimate children would be furious about that."I'm sure they're the reason why you met Janet Hart today," Terry continued. "They want to take advantage of the marriage between the White family and the Hart family to gain the Hart family’s favor and regain their control over the White family."Lisa blinked in confusion and asked, "But if they wanted to gain the Hart family's favor, shouldn't they want Janet Hart to… marry one of your half-brothers instead?""That's because Janet Hart is nothing but a pawn.""A pawn?" asked Lisa, puzzled. "Isn't she the Hart family's eldest daughter?""She is," replied Terry, "
She rolled her eyes at him and replied, "What do you think? Maybe I should just bite you so you'll understand what it felt like.""Okay," he said. "If that's what you want, then go ahead and bite me."Lisa's eyes widened. Now that he dared her to do it, she… She suddenly did not have the heart to bite him! She stared at the almost flawless face in front of her. He looked slightly androgynous, but not overtly feminine. Staring at him at such a close distance made all his facial features become so clear that she could even count his eyelashes. It was such a… stunning sight!Unable to hold it in any longer, Lisa pounced on Terry and gave him a deep, passionate kiss. What else could she do when she just could not bite him?Terry's body trembled. His lips only parted slightly when he asked her hoarsely, "Aren't you going to bite me?""It's your fault for being so handsome! I just don't have the heart to do it!"Lisa then almost climbed on top of his body and kept on kissing him agai
"I…" Lisa stammered. "I agree that we should get married, but… don't you think it's a little too early?"She could not wrap her head around it when she considered how she might turn from an unmarried woman into a… married woman in just three months. The pace was too dizzyingly fast for her!"Too early?" he muttered, his eyes getting darker. "I think it might be too slow. Do you know that I thought about making you my wife one day the first night we spent together all those years ago?"He had never been a thoughtless person about any aspect of his life. If he had not planned to be with this woman for the rest of his life, he would never have let her do whatever she wanted with him or had sex with her. That was precisely why, in his view, asking her to marry him in three months was simply too slow, and not too early! He should never have waited till today in the first place!Lisa was so flustered that her face turned red as a tomato. She stared at him blankly for a while before f
By sealing off this house, he would forever lock away memories of everything that happened in here and never think of them again!Jackson then took a step forward and headed out of the mansion gate. He was resolved never to return here again! This mansion contained both his hope and despair, but from now on, it would only become a long-forgotten memory to him.Just like the woman he had once called "Sis". From now on, she would be a forbidden person that he would never think of again!*** Serenity was somewhat surprised to find Lynette at her office, but she was only there to meet Mr. Graham for some legal consultation in the hopes that he would help her with a defamation case. She was planning on suing someone for maliciously attacking her online.There was no way that Mr. Graham would refuse the case, of course, especially considering the price that Lynette offered. Once the discussion about the case was over, Lynette smiled and said, "I only decided to come to you for help w
"Did you really think it was going to be that simple?!" asked Jonas. He then ogled at Lynette lewdly and commented, "You look a lot prettier now! I guess Lucas Gomez must've spent a lot of money on you.""What exactly do you want?" snapped Lynette angrily. They were already divorced, yet Jonas had come to her asking for money a few days ago, threatening her that if she would not give him the money, then he would post all of her pictures from the past online so that everyone could see what she really looked like.She was so ugly and dowdy in those pictures! Even worse was the fact that there were some intimate pictures of hers with Jonas in the mix as well! If those pictures were to end up online, not only might Lucas see them, but they would also be a great hindrance to her ambition of becoming a famous actress!Ultimately, Lynette decided to suck it up and pay Jonas the money to get those pictures from him. She assumed that everything would end there, but afterward, Jonas had come
Sandra was glaring at Clara, who was standing beside little Yanny, and a look of burning jealousy flashed in her eyes. She never thought that Clara would manage to give birth to a child even after she was thrown into jail!Meanwhile, Sandra had become completely infertile, and now, it seemed that she would be forced to take care of Clara's son for the rest of her life!She said, "It's been a while since we last met, Clara. I heard from Wilson that Yanny is his son. In that case, I will regard him as my own son from now on!"She then pointed at her driver who was standing behind her, and in the driver's hands were all kinds of toys."These are the toys I got for Yanny," Sandra explained. "I have no idea where you live, so I had to come find you here."As she spoke, her lips bloomed into a warm and friendly smile, yet the smile made Clara tremble in fear. Had she not smiled gently at her like this before in the past before she had then pretended to fall down the stairs? What was she
And it was precisely because he knew what those words meant that he got so angry!In the cartoons that he watched, only the rogues and thugs were put in jail. His mommy was the kindest person he knew, so how could she be anything like them?!Sandra turned to Yanny with an almost imperceptible look of hatred in her eyes, especially when she noticed how much the boy's eyes looked just like Clara's. "Just ask your mommy about it," she told him, "then you'll see if what I said was a lie."Her gaze then shifted back to Clara's pale face, and with a faked kindly manner, she asked her, "You're not going to lie to him forever, are you?"Clara felt as if she had been stabbed right in her heart. She perceived the innocently curious look on her son's face. Her lips trembled, but she had no idea how to even begin explaining everything to Yanny."Looks like you've got a lot of time on your hands, Miss Cooper."Serenity walked up to Clara's side and continued, "You're the one who sent some s
"Is that woman a baddie?" Yanny asked. "Also, why did she say that Mommy and Auntie used to be in prison?"Clara was suddenly clueless about how to explain what had happened to her son.Serenity knelt down and tousled the boy's hair before telling him, "Not everyone who went to prison is a bad person, Yanny. You see, your mommy and I have been in prison before, but it was only because other people framed us, and in the end, the law is just, and they caught the real baddie."The boy could barely grasp what Serenity was talking about, but when he heard that the real baddie was caught in the end, he sighed in relief."What about Mommy?" he asked, turning to Clara. "Was Mommy framed by the real baddies too?"Clara took a deep breath. Even though she had been avoiding this for so long, she knew that she would have to face it one, day anyway."Yanny," she said, "Mommy has never done anything wrong. I am innocent. Everything that woman said today was all lies. I have never hurt her."I
