Wilson felt as if he was standing on the edge of a cliff. All he needed was a gentle nudge, and his body would fall and be shattered into a million pieces."She paid you?" he asked the man sardonically, his eyes burning with rage. "And you did as you were told? Aren't you a doctor? Shouldn't you be saving people's lives and healing the wounded? Why did you harm others instead? Because of you, an innocent woman was thrown into jail!"Utterly shocked by Wilson's sudden explosion in fury, the man stammeringly argued, "But… But I only testified that Sandra Cooper had a miscarriage! I said nothing else! Mr. Birch, you were the one who testified in court that Sandra was pushed down the stairs by that woman, weren't you?"Those words were like a hard slap on Wilson's face that rendered him speechless.Back then… the person who had testified in court that he had seen Clara pushing Sandra down the stairs was indeed him!It was his testimony that had sealed Clara's fate! It was precisely be
The pain… No matter how much he beat his chest, the damned pain still went on without any sign of subsiding."Ah… Ah… Aaaah!"A hoarse roar escaped his lips, and it sounded like he was wailing.All the scenes from his memory flashed across his mind. She had kept telling him that she had been framed, but he would not listen to her. At the time, the only thing on his mind was revenge–he wanted to take revenge on the Wells family, so he was only too eager to believe that she really had pushed Sandra Cooper down the stairs.Because only by believing that could he let her suffer a tragic ending and not feel any guilt about it!He had used the law as a weapon and stabbed her with it. He had trampled on her dignity, her pride, and her innocence… breaking them all into small pieces!"Do you believe in one true love, Wilson?""Do you?""Of course I do! I believe that when you truly love someone, you'll never be able to love anyone else for the rest of your life. If you do love someone e
"Jackson," said Quinton Hall, "no matter what has happened, the Hall family and the Valor family has always been good allies. You don't really want to squash us down completely, right? The Emerald Hall Garden is a pivotal project to the Hall family, and I don't think the Valor family is going to gain much benefit from it anyway, so what's the point of making things difficult for everyone by snatching it from us?""The Hall family has been prosperous for long enough," said Jackson in a nonchalant way that was a stark contrast to Quinton Hall's tense seriousness. "Your time has come to an end.""But hasn't the Hall family been happily working with the Valor family all these years? If you have any objections or conditions, you can bring it up for discussion. Just tell me what you want, and we will do our best…""I want all companies under the Hall family to be removed from Solaria," Jackson said, cutting Quinton Hall off.Quinton Hall's expression changed. What Jackson had just demand
Just as she was thinking about this, the door to the CEO's office opened, and out came Quinton Hall. He was facing the inside of the office, so he did not notice that Serenity was nearby."Jackson Valor," he shouted angrily, "if you really want to seek justice for Serenity Lewis, don't ever forget that you're responsible for what happened to her too!"Serenity's heart almost skipped a beat. She instinctively took a few steps forward, and it was then that she heard his familiar voice ring out of the half-opened door."Quinton Hall, if you dare say another word, I'll make sure that the whole Hall family gets wiped out from the face of the earth!"Her gaze fell on the figure that stood inside near the door, but at this moment, his familiar handsome face was full of savagery, and there was an unmistakable sign of bloodthirst on that usually lovely pair of eyes.Bloodthirst…?! Could she have been mistaken?Quinton, who had been standing at the door, was obviously shocked into silence
It was as if he was afraid of something! But what could he be afraid of? Was it something to do with Quinton Hall? Just now, the last thing he had said before leaving was…Serenity suddenly realized something, and she asked him, "Jack, are you… Are you afraid that I'd be mad at you?"His body stiffened, and his breathing became laborious. Yet he still remained silent and held her even more tightly now.Serenity knew instantly that she was right. It seemed that he had really gotten this way because of the last thing Quinton had said. She remembered the savage and murderous look on his face after hearing Quinton’s parting words. It was almost as if Quinton had… crossed a line."Don't worry," she assured him. "I won't be mad at you!"Jackson's lips trembled. Even his voice shook a little as he asked her, "You won't… be mad?""No," she smiled, raised both her hands, and cupped his face between them. "I won't be mad. I bet Quinton Hall came here today to talk to you about the Emeral
"But…" Serenity frowned. Then she suddenly gasped and placed her hands on her bulging belly."What's wrong?" he asked anxiously."The babies… are kicking."At this point in her pregnancy, Serenity could already feel the movements of the babies inside her, but up till now, the movements had been very gentle, so gentle that she thought it might have just been her imagination.This time, however, she could clearly feel the babies move, and it was followed by another kick and then another."The babies are kicking?" asked Jackson, his eyes fixed on her belly in surprise."Yeah! Feel it!"She then placed his hand on the spot where the babies were moving. As the movements went on, Jackson was so amazed he seemed to be put under a spell. He had known beforehand that the babies would start to move in the womb once they developed to a certain stage, and he had learned all about fetal movements during pregnancy, but still… theoretical knowledge was still nothing compared to real experience
People online began to call her all sorts of unpleasant names. Even the nurses at the hospital gave her weird looks all the time, but Sandra could do nothing about it. She could only wait until she was discharged.Unfortunately, as soon as she took the first step out of the hospital once she was done with the necessary paperwork, she was instantly hounded by a large group of reporters."Miss Cooper, how do you feel about the video of you that was released?""How did Mr. Birch react? Is your wedding still going to happen as scheduled?""Was the child you miscarried Mr. Birch's baby or was that man in the video the real father?""Did you frame Ms. Clara Wells to make people think that she was the one who caused your miscarriage?"Question after question was shot at her, making it hard for Sandra to keep her composure. The flash of lights from the cameras also made her feel even more humiliated."Stop taking pictures of me!" Sandra tried to cover the cameras with her hands while he
Sandra’s father was startled and intimidated by Wilson’s reaction. “Wilson, don’t you listen to those damned journalist. About… the bone marrow donation, I lied to you, but that was because I love you. I liked you before you even knew who I was. That’s… that’s why I did what I did. A-Although I lied to you, but… dishonesty’s not a crime, is it?!” Sandra countered defensively. Wilson glanced at Sandra and snarled, “You liked me?” His eyes were red and his voice sounded hoarse. “Did you like me, or did you like my family? Do you know that you’ve just destroyed my entire life?!”“I… how could I have destroyed your life?! I love you too much to do that!” argued Sandra, who tried her best to appear weak and harmless. “I know what I did was wrong and you’re upset because of it. If you want, I can apologize to Clara and make amends or whatever, I’ll do whatever you want me to.” “You love me?” So, you can lie to me because you love me? So, I’m turned into your executioner because you lo
