“I know the way.”He had stayed here several times, so how could he not know which room was the guest room?However, Julian insisted on following him. He pushed Ryan away when Ryan walked toward the guest room he used to stay in, then shoved him to the room at the end of the corridor. He then smiled and explained to him, “That room is currently under renovation, so you should stay here instead.”Ryan felt that Julian was acting a little strange. Besides, he also saw a watch on the cabinet next to the staircase when he was about to go upstairs. It looked familiar to him and seemed to belong to Nora.Ryan could remember that Nora had this watch because it was his gift to her. It was a limited-edition watch with Nora’s initials on the back of the dial.However, he was not in the mood to think about anything else in his current situation. He turned around, pushed the door open, and walked in before he threw himself on the big bed and closed his eyes.Julian leaned against the door an
“Alright. Please talk to her kindergarten to get a leave of absence for Autumn, then.”Silvia was reluctant to leave her daughter as well, especially after the shock the little girl had experienced. After packing up everything, Mr. and Mrs. Alberich got into the car. Ophelia stopped Silvia and asked her to hand her daughter over to Mrs. Alberich first as she had something to say to her. Silvia handed her daughter to Mrs. Alberich, who was in the car, then closed the car door and looked at Ophelia. Ophelia stood opposite her and uttered in a low voice, “Ryan asked me to ask you if you wanted custody of Autumn. He’s willing to give up custody of Autumn, if that's what you want.”Ryan had not appeared since he left yesterday. He probably knew that Silvia did not want to see him and would not welcome him to visit Mr. Alberich. Therefore, he asked Ophelia to pass the message about the custody of their child to Silvia.Silvia’s emotions had calmed down completely today. After listenin
“What else do you think I should do? She must hate me so much right now. She doesn’t want to see me.”After all, Ryan was still her son. Even though she was angry that he did not handle his past relationship with Mariah well, she could not help but speak up for him. “You should let go for a while for a better future.” Ryan curled his lips in a self-deprecating manner after remembering what Julian had said to him.“All of you keep saying that.”Ophelia was a little curious.“Oh? Who else gave you such advice?”“Julian.”Hearing that, Ophelia nodded appreciatively while feeling curious. “He has rather high EQ.”Ryan did not say anything else. All of them were advising him to let go for the time being, but who could understand the reluctance and sadness in his heart? When he realized that he had fallen in love with her, it was already too late. He finally drew closer to her again thanks to the Browns’ visit to Crosavia, but such a thing happened, which caused him to feel ex
In the video, a piano teacher was teaching a little boy to play the piano, but the little boy was very mischievous and refused to cooperate. The female teacher then kicked the child to the ground and threw the piano score at the little boy.In a society where the internet was well-developed, every child was the apple of their parent’s eyes, and everyone was a keyboard warrior, such a video of child abuse was quickly reposted and made viral by the netizens when it went public.They found the female teacher’s identity in no time. She was Mariah Sommers, a thirty-year-old female who graduated from Royal Axe Institute of Arts and had studied abroad for over five years. The piano school fired her immediately, and she became the subject of public outrage as soon as she was identified, getting berated all over the internet. The latest news was that the parents of the child brought thugs to her house, and she was then sent to the hospital with a broken rib and a swollen face.Others mig
Christina’s parents broke down in an even more heartbreaking manner when they saw Silvia turning to leave. Silvia held back her emotions and turned around to leave quickly. After returning home at night, Silvia told her parents about this incident. Mr. and Mrs. Alberich glanced at each other, then sighed heavily. Mr. Alberich was recovering well, and the injury on his forehead had almost healed. Mr. Alberich could be said to be a forthright person. When he heard Silvia’s words, he thought for a moment and waved his hand. “Why don’t we just forget this matter? We’re all parents ourselves. It must be hard for them to watch their daughter go to prison.”Mrs. Alberich, who was at the side, spoke up. “You can’t say that. If Autumn had been taken away at that time, can you imagine how upset we’d be, and what kind of pain we’d be going through now?!”Mr. Alberich stopped talking after Mrs. Alberich said so, while Silvia continued eating in silence.Christina’s parents did not show up
They could only kneel and humble themselves. If Silvia persisted in pursuing this matter, Christina would definitely be imprisoned. Ryan obeyed Silvia’s decision in every matter now. He also knew that she was soft-hearted, so in the end, he could only be the villain behind her back. When facing Christina’s parents, he was very ruthless and cold. “I think that you bear the greatest responsibility now that Christina has come to this point.”“Yes, yes, it’s all because we failed to educate her.” Christina’s father nodded repeatedly, then shook his head and sighed as he reflected on the situation and said, “We only her at an old age, so although our family conditions aren’t that great, we’ve spoiled her since she was a child, which led to her being selfish and completely indifferent toward other people’s feelings. She thinks that everyone should give in to her.”In fact, Christina’s parents knew her best.However, they had failed to correct her selfish and willful nature in time
If Mariah felt that such a ‘treatment’ was not enough, he did not mind continuing to damage her reputation. That’s right. He was the mastermind behind what happened to Mariah. Since she liked to play dirty, he figured he should level the playing field.In the hospital, Mariah—who was lying on the hospital bed with a bruised, swollen face and broken ribs—was unable to move. She bit her lips tightly as this was the only way for her to endure the pain in her body and contain the hatred in her heart. She seethed as she thought about the phone call she had received that day. It was a phone call from Ryan the next day after his daughter was almost kidnapped. She answered the call without hesitation because she was certain that they did not have any evidence to prove that she was behind that incident. “Ryan, what a surprise.”She remembered that the first sentence she said was cheerful and bright.But she then heard him laughing in a low voice on the other end of the line. She was
She was certain that Silvia was using her daughter to keep Ryan around. That was why she had sent someone to kidnap their daughter. With their daughter gone, the bond between them would also be gone.She figured he would be able to abandon Silvia and be together with her then.Unfortunately, her wish did not come true, and her plan had failed. However, his daughter was traumatized, and Silvia’s father was injured; that was enough for Mariah to be happy for a while. After all, she figured Silvia must be feeling very distressed.Well, seeing Silvia in pain made Mariah happy. She continued speaking in agitation, only for Ryan to hang up the phone on her ruthlessly. Not long after that, the video of her hitting a child went viral on the internet, and she ended up in a hospital.
