In the wee hours of the morning, the nurse was startled by the sound of the door opening. Momentarily frozen, she saw a tall figure enter the room."Excuse me, sir, what...""Please step outside for a moment. I wish to be alone with her," Terry cut her short."But..." the nurse hesitated."I'm Terry White," he said.The nurse was taken aback. Terry White? The person who arranged this job for her had instructed her to be careful when she cared for the pregnant woman because the person hiring her was the CEO of the White Maple Group. She knew that the CEO of the White Maple Group was Terry White. This was her first time seeing him in person.Silently, the nurse left the hospital room, gently closing the door behind her.Terry gazed at the sleeping Lisa whose face was illuminated by the moonlight seeping through the window. Her serene expression seemed to calm the restlessness in his heart."Lisa, how much do you truly love me? How much of what you said was true?" Terry murmured
"Only one month?" Lisa's mother, unable to hide her concern, couldn't help but worry. One month seemed way too short. Could Lisa really mend things with Terry in such a brief period?Lisa smiled and said, "If he still has feelings for me, a month is more than enough. If he doesn't, even a whole year wouldn't make a difference."Lisa's mother sighed. "Alright, we won't intervene in your relationship. After a month, whether you stay or leave, we'll be there for you."Lisa's father nodded, agreeing with his wife.Lisa tightened her grip on the phone. In one month, there would be a resolution between her and Terry.In a prison's visitor room, Jackson asked Walter, "You altered my memories during the hypnosis session, didn't you?"With a faint smile, Walter replied, "Looks like you've found out, Master Jackson.""Are you gonna tell me that you did all this for my grandfather and for the Valor family?" Jackson's voice carried a hint of coldness."Of course," Walter replied without a
After Jackson walked out of the cold meeting room, Walter's demeanor visibly changed from composed to agitated."Makes us... human... How could having weaknesses not be a bad thing?! What nonsense... Everything I did, I did for the Valor family, for Master Zack..." Jackson naturally couldn't hear him. Even if he could, he wouldn't care.Outside the prison, a black car was waiting for Jackson. Connor respectfully opened the door for him."Let's go home," Jackson ordered.The car slowly made its way towards the Valor Residence. Along the way, Connor told Jackson, "Mr. Valor, someone is investigating Jenny Hall."Jackson's eyes narrowed slightly. "Who?" Jenny Hall was already dead. Even the Hall family tried to not bring her up nowadays. Yet, someone was now digging into her affairs."The Stanton family from Lanford," Connor answered."The Stanton family? Weston Stanton?" Jackson asked."All traces point to it being Weston Stanton. The Stanton family should be aware that there
Jacqueline exclaimed, "Daddy, Daddy, look at me!" With that, she imitated Serenity and began jumping. While watching his daughter's adorable jumps, Jackson noticed Fred, who was standing nearby, out of the corner of his eye.The Stanton family in Lanford was investigating Jenny Hall. Could it have something to do with Fred?How did Jenny Hall get involved with the Stanton family? If Jenny Hall truly had ties to the Stanton family, she wouldn't have ended her own life in prison. Knowing her, she would have sought the help of the Stanton family to make a comeback. Perhaps she herself was unaware of her relationship with them?Contemplating this possibility, a hint of thoughtfulness flashed in Jackson's eyes.Meanwhile, Jacqueline, who had just started learning how to jump rope, accidentally stumbled and fell. Serenity quickly helped the little girl up. Noticing Jacqueline's torn pants and potential scrape on her knee, Serenity carefully rolled up her daughter's pants.Fred and M
"He's a nice kid," Serenity said. "He's smart, and he's a good boy too." A boy of his age could be very naughty, but Fred was painfully quiet."The boy is getting along with Jackie, but he's Jenny's kid, after all," Jackson reminded. Serenity flinched. She did not want to involve the boy in this. "Our grudge against Jenny has nothing to do with the boy." And that was why she had been trying to minimize it these days."You may think it has nothing to do with him, but he may think otherwise. He might think you had something to do with his mother's death," Jackson said. He wanted to protect Serenity and the children, and he would do it right. Serenity pondered before saying, "At least I know what I'm doing. I'll treat Fred right, but if he does have a grudge against me and the Valor family, I'll do something about it!""We can wait for about two years. Once Jackie's no longer interested in him, find a reason to send him away," Jackson suggested."Jackie considers Fred a friend. Th
Lisa thought she might be able to have the cake with Terry after the party and ordered a cute cake. The cashier registered the information and handed her a ticket to pick up the cake later.Lisa put away the receipt and left the store. While walking out of the store, a strange man blocked her way, stopping her from leaving."Lisa Quest? Madam Quirk wants to meet you." The man sounded respectful but looked at Lisa with a hint of disdain in his eyes."Who is she?" Lisa asked."Mr. White's mother," the man replied.Terry's mom? Lisa stared blankly, stunned to know who wanted to see her. She had never met his mother while dating Terry before. Terry had once promised to take her to meet his mom after securing his position in the White family, but she had no idea it would take five years before she finally had the chance to meet Terry's mother."How do I know if you're telling the truth?" Lisa kept her guard up. She did not want to repeat her mistake and get kidnapped again.The man p
Lisa's heart sank, and her lips pursed tightly. Taking a deep breath, she said, "I won't abort this child.""What? You're not going to abort the baby? Are you going to say you're not doing it for money? That you love Terry?" Glynnis cut to the chase."I've met a lot of women like you. You think you'll be able to marry into money by having a rich man's child. However, there's no shortage of children in wealthy families. Even if you give birth to your child, you won't get into the White family. Besides, no one knows if you're pregnant with Terry's child."Lisa suddenly broke into a smile. "A woman like me? Or are you talking about yourself?" she asked with a cheeky grin. Perhaps she should have been smarter and shown some weakness to Glynnis. Maybe she should have avoided causing this moment of discomfort, but no way would she comply with this crap. Lisa loved Terry, but that did not mean anyone could slander her like that. Glynnis might be Terry's mom, but saying her child was not
Lisa never thought Glynnis would try to harm her. She warned, "You'll be sentenced for this!""It'll be an accident and unintentional injury at most. Don't worry. My men are mentally prepared for this," Glynnis said calmly, a look of indifference in her eyes. Glynnis did not care about the life that would be lost even if this little life was related to her by blood.Glynnis remained seated on the couch as she sipped her tea and waited for the show to happen.Lisa tried to escape the room, but one of the men grabbed her, and the other swung his fist, ready to punch her in the belly."No!" She cried out frantically, desperate to protect the child in her belly. Despair colored her eyes as she saw the fist coming for her. Was this how her child would leave her? Her baby had survived several dangers and two signs of threatened miscarriage. Was this how she would lose her baby?!No! She would never allow this! It was her and Terry's baby!Lisa had no idea where she got the strength.
