To Clara's surprise, she once again saw Sandra Cooper standing before her after many years.Dressed in expensive and fashionable clothes, Sandra looked graceful and elegant, like a noblewoman. A victorious smile rested on her face that was wearing exquisite makeup."We meet again, Clara Wells. By the way, I thought you would fight tooth and nail for Yanny's custody, but you actually gave up without a fight. Let me guess – you're doing it so that you can ask for more compensation, right?" Clara stood in front of the food stall and stared at Clara with mocking eyes, as if she was looking at a loser.Clara slowly raised her head, "Did you come here just to say that?""Of course not. I also want to tell you that Wilson and I will get married soon. When you hand over your son to Wilson in three months, I'll make sure to treat your son 'very well'." Sandra deliberately emphasized the words "very well". Anyone could hear the threat hidden in her words.Clara narrowed her eyes and glared
Sandra was so angry that she was trembling with rage, "You'll pay for that, Clara Wells!"She took out her phone and made a call. Not long after that, a few punks arrived at Clara's stall. They harassed the customers, flipped the tables, and made a ruckus. Sandra looked on with a smile.The punks left Sandra's table alone. They were clearly summoned there by Sandra.One of the punks even beat Clara up. Even though Clara fought back, she was no match for him.It didn't take long for Clara to be knocked to the ground.The punk kicked Clara while cursing, "Know your place, b*tch! There are some people you shouldn't offend! This will teach you a lesson!"Clara clenched her teeth and endured it. She had no intention to beg for mercy, trying to preserve the last bit of dignity she had left.Suddenly, the beating stopped. She heard the punks screaming and Sandra Cooper gasping.‘What's going on?’Clara was shocked. She then heard a familiar voice ask, "Clara, are you okay?"Clara lo
Jackson was the first to come back to his senses. He said with sudden realization, "You must be here to pick up your fiancée, Mr. Birch""What about you, Mr. Valor? Are you also here to pick someone up?" Wilson asked."Yes, my wife and her friend," Jackson said with a smile.Jackson's answer made Wilson's heart sink. Clara immediately came to his mind.Sandra didn't tell him much on the phone earlier. She only said that she ran into trouble and was now at the police station. She sounded tearful, so he didn't ask for any details and immediately rushed over.Could Clara be at the police station too?Wilson was about to go inside when Jackson suddenly said, "I heard Clara decided to give up custody. Aren't you curious why?"Why...? Wilson recalled Clara telling him that she wanted to start a new life – she wanted to get married and have children with another man. That memory upset him. "I didn't expect you to be such a busybody, Mr. Valor."Jackson's mouth tugged in a faint smile
Even though she preferred to avoid conflicts, she had to take an aggressive stance this time or Sandra would walk all over Clara!Sandra's eyes flickered uncertainly, but she still said, "Sure! I want to know the truth too!"Serenity stopped paying Sandra any heed. She turned to Clara and asked, "Clara, can you stand?""No problem," Clara forced a smile, then stood up unsteadily.Serenity wanted to help Clara, but Jackson said, "Let me do it." He held one of Clara's arms to support her, and the three of them walked out of the police station.Wilson's eyes narrowed slightly. He knew that there was nothing going on between Jackson and Clara. Jackson was only helping Clara because she's Serenity's friend.However, it still upset Wilson.When Clara walked past Wilson, she didn't spare him a single glance. She completely ignored him.Wilson's lips pursed into a straight line. His eyes remained on Clara's departing back.Sandra looked at Wilson unhappily. The way Wilson was looking
After she became Mrs. Birch, she would definitely make Clara and that bastard child pay! She would raise that boy to be a useless man so that Clara wouldn't be able to use him to turn the tables!Serenity and Jackson brought Clara to the hospital to have her injuries examined. Fortunately, Clara didn't suffer any major injuries.After sending Clara home, Serenity still had a hard time calming down. She couldn't stand Sandra's despicable behavior."Is Clara really going to hand Yanny over to Wilson Birch? Once Wilson Birch and Sandra Cooper get married, Sandra Cooper will be Yanny's stepmother!" Serenity said."Clara must have her reasons," Jackson said, "Alright, stop being mad. It's not good for a pregnant woman.""I just feel bad for Clara," Serenity said, "Can't Wilson Birch see that Sandra Cooper is a hypocrite?""Maybe he can, but he tolerates it. When the Birch family was down and out years ago, Wilson got sick and needed a bone marrow transplant. A suitable bone marrow ca
All night long, Wilson couldn't stop thinking about Clara's messy hair, bruised face, and frail body. The image lingered in his mind.What's wrong with him? Why did he keep thinking of Clara lately?In three months' time, she would hand Yanny over to him, and the two of them would have nothing to do with each other anymore!"Mr. Birch? What do you think of the plan? Mr. Birch?" His subordinate's voice violently interrupted his thoughts, snapping him back to his senses. In front of him was the conference room, and he was currently in a meeting with the senior management of the company."I'll go over the plan later. Let's adjourn the meeting for now," Wilson said.Adjourn the meeting?The executives exchanged glances. Weren't they supposed to finalize the details of the plan in this meeting?However, since the big boss had said so, they could only comply.The executives collected their documents and left the conference room.Wilson told his secretary, "Leave me. I want to be alo
Clara frowned. "What exactly do you want to do? I already gave you the agreement. You promised to leave me and Yanny alone for the next three months."Wilson remained silent. To be honest, he himself didn't know for what reason he came! He couldn't focus at work and could not stop thinking about the things that happened yesterday, so he came over on an impulse."What exactly happened yesterday? Did you really slap Sandra?" Wilson finally found an excuse for coming here.So he came to confront me about Sandra Cooper, thought Clara."Yes, I did. Do you want to slap me back?" she said coldly."You surrendered Yanny's custody willingly. Sandra is willing to treat the child as her own and raise him properly. What else do you want? Don't you think you crossed the line?" Wilson said unhappily."Crossed the line? I only regretted not slapping her more than once! A single slap isn't enough to pay her back for all the things she's done!" Her biggest grudge with Sandra was not because Sandr
Although her armor was full of cracks, she didn't want this man to look down on her!"What's wrong with you?" Wilson's voice came from above her head."I..." She wanted to say that she was fine, but as soon as she opened her mouth, the pain almost made her bite her tongue.Her body was trembling. Large beads of sweat dripped down from her forehead and slid down her cheeks. Her face was unbelievably pale. Even her lips looked kind of grayish."I'll take you to the hospital!" Wilson said. This was not the first time he had seen her in severe pain like this!As he said that, he grabbed her arm, but not as hard as the previous time. This time, he even grabbed it a little carefully, as if he was afraid that he would hurt her."No need. I don't need to go to the hospital," Clara said."How can you not go to the hospital when you're in so much pain? Why are you so stubborn?!" Wilson said angrily.After a while, Clara said with difficulty, "When did you become... such a sympathetic man
