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
“I won’t.” Zachary replied.“But I’m worried. If you’re charged with intentional assault, you’ll end up in jail.” “Don’t worry, nothing will happen.” Zachary started the car engine. “You shouldn’t do anything reckless next time. If I weren’t here, you would’ve been in big trouble. If you scar your face, no one will want to marry you. What will you do then?”Sandra smiled bitterly. “It won’t be easy for me to marry with this temper of mine. It’s nothing big to me even if there’s a scar on my face.” “How can you be so pessimistic? I think you’re a nice woman.” Zachary comforted her.“Really?”"Of course. You're good-looking, talented, and independent. The point is, women these days are pretentious, but you're not one of them. You have a charming personality…" Zachary suddenly stopped talking. He had never praised a woman like this before. How could he blurt out all those compliments so smoothly without feeling awkward? He shot a glance at the rear-view mirror and saw Sandra sligh
He pushed the door open and saw his mother sitting on the sofa, looking extremely unhappy. He had no energy left to entertain his mother, so he went directly upstairs. Jade’s mood worsened when she saw her son’s depressed appearance.Today, the director’s wife who was close with her came to visit her. It was supposed to be a wonderful time, but everything took a bad turn when they started to talk about Susan and Fiona.She had no idea where Madam Tillery heard this gossip from, but she knew that Susan was pregnant with Fiona before she was married. “Did Jackson and Fiona call off their engagement because Susan was the mistress?” Jade had always thought that only she knew that Susan was the mistress. She did not expect Madam Tillery to know about this as well.Madam Tillery was known for her big mouth. Once she found out something, the other ladies in her social circle would know about it too. Jade's good mood had gone sour because of what Madam Tillery said. Of course, she would n
"Is it true?" Jade's expression changed at once. Her father had also been snatched away by her mother’s best friend, which was why she hated mistresses. Although she felt uncomfortable with the fact that Susan was a mistress, she was forcing herself to turn a blind eye so that she could deal with Yvonne. Now, her friend had revealed this information to her. She could not pretend to be ignorant anymore."Of course, it's true. And they said that Secretary Summers’ first wife treated her kindly. She even asked Secretary Summers to pay her a visit when he was out on a business trip. Who would have thought that shameless thing would seduce her best friend's husband and give birth to a daughter? No one would have been able to take it. Later on, Secretary Summers’ first wife got into an accident and passed away. Susan took this opportunity to become his wife. She even drove his first wife's daughter away. After that, Secretary Summers was transferred to different places. That’s why no one kn
She had been feeling uncomfortable ever since Madam Tillery left. How could she be so stubborn back then? She recalled how she had treated Yvonne in the past, she had gone too far. After the scandal that Fiona schemed against Yvonne was exposed last time, it was Trina who bore the responsibility for her. Trina dared not to follow her instructions and swallowed it down to become Fiona’s scapegoat. Of course, Trina spared no effort in becoming Fiona's scapegoat not only because she dared not to offend Fiona, but she wanted to gain some benefit from it. However, she was taking things too easy, she thought she would be detained for a few days only. Never had she expected that Zachary and Jackson would refuse to let her go, in the end, Trina was sentenced to a maximum of three years of imprisonment for defamation under the law. The maximum sentence for defamation was imprisonment for a maximum of three years. Zachary and Jackson knew Trina was not the culprit, they did it to warn Fi
When Trina was thinking about this, a pretty young lady named Ms. Granger was looking for her all of a sudden. She offered her a large sum of money to spread the word of Fiona’s scandals around.Trina was worried that Fiona would take revenge on her. However, she agreed to do it for the money. The young pretty lady, Ms. Granger who looked for her was someone from the upper-class society too. She was driving a limited-edition car, and she wore luxury fashion brands. The point was, Ms. Granger was humble and polite to others, unlike Fiona who was slightly polite to her in front of others, and treated her like sh*t when there was no one around.Ms. Granger was generous, unlike the petty Fiona. When she brought her out to attend parties, she would bring her to a high-end salon to do her hair and makeup, she even bought her new clothes. Previously, Fiona would bring her to attend parties too, but she had never brought her to any high-end salons, and she gave her the clothes that she did
Susan felt uncomfortable in her heart, so she chose to greet Madam Watkins, who was close with her. Madam Watkins reluctantly talked to her very briefly then excused herself. Whenever Madam Watkins saw her, she would talk to her continuously. What was wrong this time? Susan then realized that something was wrong, so did Jared. While they were on the way back he asked her, “Isn’t Madam Watkins close with you, why is she ignoring you all of a sudden?” How would Susan know about it? “I don’t know why, she’s probably in her menopause.” Jared snorted. “What menopause? You must’ve done something that upset her. Didn’t I tell you that you should be extra careful when you’re interacting with them? Director Watkins is getting promoted soon, we shouldn’t be upsetting them.” Susan felt very uncomfortable when Jared told her, but she dared not to refute. She held the grudge in and returned home, thinking back and forth she was still unable to find any answers. …Jade had been thinking a
The question sounded weird, Roxanne sensed that something was wrong, but she could not figure out what Jade was going to say, so she smiled and asked her back, “Why are you asking this all of a sudden, did something happen?” "Lately I've been hearing bad things about her, so I came to ask you," Jade told Roxanne about what Madam Tillery told her about Fiona. "I don't feel comfortable hearing about this. It wasn't convenient for me to go out these days with my leg injured, I had no idea how wild the rumors had gone outside. So I came to ask you."“I didn’t hear anything about it.” Roxanne was secretly surprised. She tried to convince her. “Madam Tillery didn’t get along with Susan, right? She might defame Fiona on purpose because she hated Susan. I think she can’t be trusted.” "Madam Tillery and Susan didn't get along before. If she purposely defamed Fiona out of hatred, why didn't she tell me earlier? Why would she wait until now?" Jade had no idea that the woman in front of her
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
