Since Fiona was so badly beaten up, she had to recuperate in the hospital. Jackson was still suspicious of her, so he instructed James to go to the hospital to investigate. When James went to check last time, he did not check whether she had her period. After investigating the truth and finding out that Fiona did a check-up that required her to go during her period, it seemed that the probability of Fiona having sex with him while on her period was zero.What Jackson needed to know now was how Fiona got pregnant.If they did not have sex, it meant that she stole his sperm and did artificial insemination on herself. However, if she had stolen his sperm, she would not have been able to get the insemination procedure done immediately. In order to keep the sperm alive, they must preserve the sperm. That would mean the safest and most reliable method to store the sperm was by keeping it in the hospital. However, when Fiona left his house that night, she had gone straight home. He found ou
"What's this for?" Yvonne did not take the key."This is the key to the bank vault. There are some jewelry and gold bars inside, so I’m giving all of that to you today," Jared answered."Why do you want to give them to me?" Yvonne thought that Jared was coming to see her on behalf of Fiona but never expected that he would be offering her assets. ‘But why give these to me now? Why not one of the few times he met me before?’"Yvonne, I have something I need to ask of you." Jared did not dare to look at Yvonne."Is it regarding Fiona?" Yvonne laughed mockingly. She knew Jared would never be that kind."You know how Fiona's situation is. She has health problems, so if she aborts the babies, she’ll never be able to get pregnant again. I came to you because I want you to—""Secretary Summers, you're looking for the wrong person," Yvonne interrupted him. "Fiona is carrying Jackson's baby, so the people you should be looking for are Jackson and Jade.”"Jackson is very angry and insists
"Ms. Summers, I’m telling you to abort the babies for your own good. You can disobey me, but you’ll have to bear all the consequences in the future."When Jackson saw that Fiona was being stubborn, he did not want to waste any more time speaking to her. He thought that the woman was too disgusting. If she was willing to give birth to the children, then it was up to her.Jackson went to see Yvonne again and told Yvonne everything he had found out. When he told her everything, she was very surprised—too surprised.If it was true that Fiona was going to give birth to another man's children, Fiona would go crazy upon finding out the truth after all that planning. The children she gave birth to would be another man’s.She did not sympathize with Fiona and suddenly remembered a line from a novel. ‘All your clever calculations and intrigues brought nothing but your doom.’ Yvonne thought that perhaps the same was happening to Fiona.Jackson asked her to marry him again. "Yvonne, let's get
When Jade heard how her son answered her, she was very angry and scolded him for being cold-blooded and ruthless. Jackson just ignored her and hung up the phone.Usually, getting pregnant with twins was something big, which was why Roxanne inseminated twins for Fiona. It was a good idea at the time and she expected Jackson to change his attitude toward Fiona because of the twins, but she did not think Jackson would not be convinced at all.Jackson's ruthlessness scared Roxanne. She was an experienced person. She had seen what Gordon's attitude toward Janice was like last time.She was counting on Jade to forcefully suppress Jackson so that Fiona could enter the family without any problems, but now it seemed that Jade had also become helpless. That was why Roxanne vaguely realized that getting Fiona pregnant did not seem like the best choice.Jade could not live forever, and Jackson would eventually become the head of the family. If Jackson did not like Fiona, Roxanne could only ima
"You’re calling Yvonne evil? Mom, speaking of that, I have something to ask you. Is Yvonne really that bad? If she’s that bad, why did she tolerate you, the evil mother-in-law, when you relentlessly bullied her? If she’s that bad, why did she leave without a penny to her name? If she’s that bad, why did she tolerate her dad’s mistress and illegitimate daughter taking her place in her house? Mom, use your brain. The facts are right in front of you. Can't you tell who’s in the right and who’s in the wrong?""How dare you scold me and say that I don’t know right from wrong?" Jade was so angry that she grabbed the teacup in front of her and threw it on the floor.Jackson looked at her coldly. "I'm not scolding you, I just want you to see the facts clearly. Now that you don’t have anything going on, you should take this time to think about it yourself. Maybe the person you think is bad is actually a good person, and the people you think are good have only been pretending to be good.""I
"This isn’t a good place to talk. Let's find a place to sit down first." Roxanne pointed to the cafe next to them. "Let’s talk inside.”Wesley knew there was no getting away from her, so he went into the cafe with her without a word."Wesley, what do you want to drink? Coffee or tea?"Wesley sneered. "If you have something to talk about, just get straight to it. I still have to go grocery shopping."Roxanne ignored his impatience and took it upon herself to order a cup of coffee for Wesley. "Wesley, I wouldn't come looking for you if it was nothing. I came to see you because of Yvonne. Can you bring her away?""Why? Is Yvonne in your way?""It's not that she's in my way, but I'm just worried about her safety." Roxanne pretended to be doing this for Yvonne’s own good. “You know what kind of person Susan is. Now that Yvonne is in the way of her daughter's future, I’m worried she’ll do something to Yvonne.""I never knew that you’re such a kind person." Wesley naturally knew that R
Susan pushed him away. “I’m here to talk to you.”“What’s the matter?” Max did not plan to let her go."You pervert! Do you have a death wish?" Susan got angry and pushed Max away forcefully. "How can you still be in the mood to have fun? Your daughter almost got beaten up half to death." “Who would dare to touch Fiona?” Max appeared to be nervous but he disapproved of Susan’s actions in his heart. He knew full well whether Fiona was his daughter or not. Since Susan loved putting on a show, then he would just play along with her.“Who else? It’s Jared's biological daughter!” Susan was furious and told Max about what had happened to Fiona.Max furrowed his brows. “It seems very difficult to handle this matter. I think we should put it aside first.”“What do you mean by difficult? You have a large network. Won’t handling this be a piece of cake for you?” “You may say that, but it’s the wrong time to strike now. If they find out about our relationship, how are you going to live y
Sandra went to a restaurant nearby to have her lunch at noon. After she placed her order, she took a sip of water. Suddenly, a sharp voice sounded out. "How could you do this to me? I gave birth to your children and came out to work to support our family, yet you took my money and are keeping a mistress. How can you be so shameless?"Sandra looked over and saw a woman in her uniform pointing her fingers angrily at a couple who were dining in the restaurant. The woman’s face was filled with anger and despair. Despite getting caught red-handed, there was not a trace of fear or panic on the fashionably dressed woman's face who was sitting beside the man. Instead, she sneered at the wife. "Look at yourself. With your sallow complexion and dead eyes, I doubt any man would fall for you.” “You’ve gone too far!” The woman in uniform was trembling with anger. She grabbed one of the dishes on the table and threw the food on the head of the fashionably dressed woman. The woman screamed. Th
Jackson had to run back and forth as he had to take care of Yvonne while checking on Leo’s condition. He was most concerned about his son, although the cord blood had been successfully transplanted into his body but it was not guaranteed that everything would be fine. The doctor informed Jackson that after the cord blood was transplanted into Leo's body, he still needed to pass through the infection barrier, reposition in the body, and the rejection barrier before it could truly be considered as a successful transplant.The rejection stage might be the most difficult to overcome. The rejection reaction may occur at any time such as fever, vomiting, and difficulty in eating, diarrhea, etc. Leo had to receive medical treatment according to his condition, along with his cooperation. Once he was fully recovered, he would be sent to the general ward after 3-4 weeks.Jackson would visit his son every hour. Due to the uncertain factors, he was extremely anxious but he could not show even
The heart-wrenching scene finally drew to a close. The umbilical cord blood transfusion was successfully completed and Leo’s heart rate returned to normal—everything seemed to have fallen back into place. Jackson could feel the weight of a boulder lifted off his chest.As soon as the doctor walked out of the transplant chamber, Jackson stepped forward and took his hand, showering him with words of gratitude.All this while, Yvonne had been trying her best to stay awake. She was dying to hear of Leo's condition post-operation, but ultimately gave in to the anesthesia and drifted off. She felt utterly drained and all she could hear was a gentle whisper by her ear—it was Jackson. “Yvonne, don’t fret,” he said, “Our child will be just fine. Rest without a worry, my dear; when you wake up, all will be well.”And so she slept. She slept for a long period of time and did not even realize that she was wheeled into the ward. In her deep slumber, she could vaguely hear familiar voices, many o
Fiona and Pearlie were about to slip away after beating her until she miscarried. However, they did not expect to see the police standing in front of the door, both of them were then arrested and the pregnant lady was also carried out. The two realized in shock that the lady was not Yvonne, but a random stranger. “What’s happening?” Fiona pointed at the pregnant lady as she asked Donavan in a hysterical scream. “What do you mean by what happened? Didn’t you ask me to kidnap this woman?” Donavan asked.“You… How dare you deceive me?” As matters stood, Fiona had realized that she got fooled. However, it was too late for her to turn things around as the police had charged both of them for kidnapping and murder. Section 239 of the Criminal Law prescribed a minimum of 10 years of penalty in prison or life imprisonment for the crime of kidnapping for the purpose of extorting money. Furthermore, kidnapping another person as a hostage would either result in a fine or confiscation of pro
Yosef and Ella’s engagement was being announced and Pearlie who was in the States obviously knew about it also. Hearing that Ella was Yvonne’s sister, she felt even more uneasy. ‘Yvonne is gone but now we have Ella? Did I get lured into this?’As Pearlie was still reeling from the news, something worse happened. Under the pressure of the Quimbys’, Pearlie’s parents made the move to terminate the marriage agreement for her and Zachary. She was still dreaming about marrying him after the 3-year promise, but she did not expect her parents to terminate the agreement, she was so pissed.‘It’s all because of that b*tch Yvonne Yates! If not, I will not become like this!’ Pearlie then returned to Coreulu in anger.Pearlie was thinking of a plan to ruin Yvonne’s life. ‘Since you’ve destroyed my happiness, you don’t deserve to have any either, I will make you pay.’ Knowing that Fiona was now working as a wine girl in a bar, Pearlie personally went to her and persuaded her to deal with Yvo
“Is Leo willing to give daddy a chance?”“Leo will as long as mommy gives daddy a chance.”Yvonne touched Leo’s head. “Good boy.” She then noticed a gaze staring at her from behind. She turned around and saw Yosef looking at her and Leo from behind.“Yosef, when did you get here?”“Just now.” Yosef walked over. “Yvonne, let’s talk.”Yvonne nodded and went to the garden with Yosef. He helped her to sit down on the bench. “Yvonne, do you believe in destiny?”Yvonne shook her head without knowing why Yosef said so."I never believed in destiny. I always believed that hard work could make everything I wanted, but I guess I was wrong!" Yosef looked at her delicate face. "Since that thing happened, my heart has been very hesitant. I'm struggling and I didn’t dare to face you. I thought about it for so many days and watched it coldly for so many days. Today I finally mustered up the courage to come to you."Yvonne sighed. “I am sorry Yosef, it’s all my fault.”“No! It’s not your fa
Yvonne promised Yosef that she would stay with him and also promised to forgive him but now she faced a bigger problem. After all, Ella was her sister and they have the same blood flowing in their bodies, she could not accept a man who had a relationship with her sister.Now it was not about whether she accepted Yosef or not, it was the matter whether Ella really liked Yosef. Yvonne saw how Ella looked at Yosef with a longing gaze and thinking of the child in Ella’s womb, she wanted to persuade him to accept her. Ever since their conversation that day in the hospital, Yosef avoided being alone with her and Yvonne knew that it was because he did not want Yvonne to tell him to take responsibility for Ella. Yvonne also felt bad as Yosef wasted nine years because of her and how could she persuade him to marry Ella now?As Yvonne felt hesitant, Sandra came to persuade her. “Yvonne, you should give Jackson a chance.”“You guys have been speaking on behalf of Jackson these days? Didn’t y
“Do we really need to give her money to settle this?” Sandra asked. Jackson sneered. “Why should we? Just let her file the report.”“Are we really letting her do it?” Most of the people knew about the paintings, if it was further exposed, it would not look good on Jared. “Fiona knew that we wouldn’t want to cause any more trouble, that’s why she threatened us that way. If we were to be afraid of her, she would be even more extreme next time, just let her report it,” Jackson explained. “I will ask someone to take care of her in there and she will know what to do by then.”“We cannot let her run amok anymore, she deserves whatever she will be getting, just let her file the report!” Yvonne agreed to his statement as well. Evil could never win against good, if they kept on tolerating people like Fiona, she would definitely take another step further. Fiona initially planned to just threaten them once to get some money so she could live a better life, but she did not expect Yvonne
Yvonne nodded while looking at Ella. Jared then called out to Jackson. “I’ve made too many mistakes in my life, I’ve betrayed my wife and wronged my daughters. I really hope that you won't repeat what I did. I am handing Yvonne over to you and I won’t forgive you if you dare to wrong her!” “Father, don’t worry, I will not let Yvonne down!” Jackson swore. “Yvonne, you are a good child. Father knows that you still love Jackson in your heart, so does he. It’s all my fault back then, for the sake of Leo and the child in your womb, forgive him!”“I have forgiven him!” Yvonne answered“I still have one last request...Please bury me...beside Cindy...after I die…” Jared panted as he spoke. Yvonne nodded. “Don’t worry, father!”Hearing what Yvonne said, Jared showed a smile of relief, and his last wish was granted so he had nothing to worry about anymore. He gradually said, “Cindy, I am coming!” and closed his eyes. “Father!” Yvonne and Ella exclaimed at the same time but Jared coul
“Don’t cry, it’s over!” Yvonne patted her shoulder gently and comforted her. “This is actually a relief to her as well!” “Yeah, it is better to die if a person is alive with nothing but pain. Since she is reluctant to die, this is the best way to relieve her at the moment.”Yosef stood aside. Seeing Yvonne and Ella hugging each other crying, he felt extremely complicated. Yvonne was a righteous person and he knew that it would be impossible for him to be with her anymore. He sighed in his heart, ‘Loving each other doesn’t necessarily guarantee a good relationship!’Ella seemed to have heard Yosef’s sigh, she looked up at Yosef with teary eyes. “Brother Turner, I will not hold you back, I won’t let the child bother you.”“What nonsense is this?” Yvonne glared at Ella, the hug earlier cleared out all the barriers between the two girls. “Yosef is not a cruel person! You are my only sister and this is his only child, he will let you have the child.”Hearing what Yvonne mentioned, Yos
