The sharp sound of the slap reverberated in the car. Wilson's face was jerked to the side, while Clara felt a searing pain in her palm."Wilson, I thought we had reached an understanding and agreed not to interfere in each other's lives anymore. What's the meaning of this?!" she exclaimed."What's the meaning of this?" Wilson smiled bitterly. "It means I love you too deeply! It means I can't let you go!""But I don’t love you anymore! I've already moved on!" Clara tried her hardest to push him away, but he refused to budge."So you're going out with Peter Wall now, are you?" he asked.She looked him right in the eye and remarked, "That's none of your business!"His eyes narrowed, and his expression turned icy. "What do you even see in that guy?! What can he give you that I can't?!""What's wrong with him? At least he wouldn't hurt me or send me to prison!" she blurted out.His face instantly turned pale, and his grip on her loosened.Seizing the opportunity, Clara pushed Wilso
He had also sent someone to investigate at Yanny's school. It turned out that there were many students in the school who discriminated against his son due to his hearing impairment. These students and their parents were aware that Yanny's mother had been to prison. They didn't care that her name was cleared afterwards. They continued to discriminate against Yanny.What pained Wilson the most is that he was the direct cause of these discriminations. "How's the progress on your investigation of Sandra Cooper?" Wilson finally spoke again after reviewing the documents."Sandra Cooper has been released from prison and arrived in Solaria a few days ago. We have yet to determine her exact whereabouts, but she should still be in Solaria," the person replied.Wilson's gaze turned cold. "Find her. Even if you turn Solaria upside down, you must find her!"It's all Sandra Cooper's fault... If she hadn't done all those things back then, perhaps he and Clara wouldn't have ended up like this.
Peter smiled. "You guys… Don't be such busybodies."'Future wife?' Peter thought about living and working with Clara. Clara was a wonderful woman. Maybe he would have a better life with someone like her, but he knew Clara only considered him a friend. Clara's heart already belonged to someone else, to the man named Wilson! But Wilson had hurt her so much that her love had wilted."What would you like to buy, sir?" Peter suddenly heard an employee speaking to a customer at the door. The voice brought him out of his thoughts. Peter looked up, stunned to see the tall figure walking into the stall. He knew that man. Wilson Birch! Peter recognized Wilson instantly even after all these years. Wilson was an outstanding man, after all, and a man like him would always leave a strong impression on most people. Wilson came over and stood before Peter. He glanced at Peter, his eyes cold and icy. The thought of seeing Clara talking and laughing with Peter stung him. Unable to get the pain
Wilson furrowed his brows harder. He sneered, "What? Do you want to be with her?""It has nothing to do with you, Mr. Birch," Peter reminded. "I'm single, and so is she. Whether we're going to date or not is between me and her.The expression on Wilson's face changed slightly. Clara had said something similar before. She said her relationship with Peter was between them and none of his business.For a moment, Wilson felt abandoned. He was drowning in jealousy and stood up abruptly, grabbing Peter by the collar. "I'm telling you—Don't ever think about dating Clara!""Because you love her?" Peter asked in reply.Wilson's face darkened, his lips pursed tightly."If you love her, then why do you make her life so hard? She's running a small store and busy caring for her old mother and a young boy. Don't you know how tiring it is for her to live like this?" Peter said. Wilson's face sunk into the blackest shadow. Irritated, he tightened his grip on Peter's collar. He knew everything
Clara could not give her son much, so this was all she could do for him. Yannick gave it his all in learning Taekwondo. He knew how hard it was for Clara to pay the training fees. He knew he had to be stronger to better protect himself, Mom, and Grandma.Yannick was surprised to meet the bullies at school in the changing room in the Taekwondo training school. He had not met them because Mathew and the other classmates were not in the same Taekwondo lesson with him before, but this time, he bumped into Matthew and his friends, who quickly surrounded him."What a familiar face! Oh, it's you! Yannick! You must be so proud for making me transfer schools!" One of the boys spoke up, and his eyes were full of malice."Matthew Hudson! What are you up to?!" Yannick raised his voice and gazed around warily. Yannick was late for training and came to the changing room late. Everyone in the changing room was all part of Matthew's gang except him.Grandma was still out there waiting for him. The
Mrs. Wells was shocked to see what was happening inside the changing room. Wilson and his men were stopping the group of kids from attacking Yanny, who was all covered in bruises."Yanny? Are you okay?! Does it hurt?" Mrs. Wells rushed to hold her grandson in her arms and asked anxiously.Not wanting to worry his grandmother, Yannick shook his head and shifted his gaze to the man he was supposed to call ‘Dad’. Yannick's face and body ached, but he must not admit his weakness, especially when he saw Wilson here.This man had put Mom through so much pain. Even though Mom had never told him anything, Yannick knew his mom was wrongfully convicted and imprisoned because of Dad's testimony.Yannick was able to read. After looking up the case on the internet, he learned that Mom would not have gone to jail if not for Dad—because Dad testified had against Mom and sided with the evil woman instead.Yannick would never forget what happened in the park years ago. Mom had begged and pleaded w
The kids who got into the fight were all in the police station along with their parents, the trainers, and a representative of the training school.The representative waited in the police station with a scowl on his face. No one had expected the kids to fight in the changing room. If the parties involved in the fight were ordinary people, this would have been easy to resolve. All they needed was to make the kids apologize to each other and call it a day. Unfortunately, one of the kids was the child of a powerful figure, the Birch Group CEO's son! The representative was crushed in his mind again, wondering what his employees had been doing. No one had told him that the young master of the Birch family was enrolled in the Taekwondo school! The coach was depressed and frustrated as well. He thought of the woman who enrolled the boy in Taekwondo lessons and the elderly woman who often brought Yannick to class. Both of them did not look like rich people with the way they dressed! Besid
"Yes, understood!" the lawyer responded.When Clara finally arrived at the police station, she immediately rushed to Yannick and quickly checked on him. Yannick was not severely injured. Although Mrs. Wells had already told Clara about Yanny's injuries, Clara's eyes turned moist at her son's bruised and swollen face."Does it hurt?" Clara asked, sniffling loudly. Yannick shook his head. "No, I'm fine." Yannick grimaced as he spoke, the swollen part of his face hurting, which caused Clara more distress.Mrs. Wells said in her self-blame, "It's all my fault. I should've realized something was wrong when Yanny stayed in the changing room for too long. If the adults had gotten in earlier, Yanny wouldn't have been hurt like this.""It's not your fault, Grandma. I-I'm not strong enough," Yannick whimpered. He was not strong enough to fight the other boys. If he was stronger, he could have avoided getting hurt. Instead, he had caused Mom and Grandma more distress.Clara gently rubbed h
