He and the officer who had filed Ruby’s report went to interrogate her together. Ruby did not know much about Harken, but she did provide them with a clue. Harken often talked to a person named Max on the phone.

Back then, she did not have full trust in Harken yet and would eavesdrop on him whenever he talked to Max on the phone. At that time, she suspected that Max was one of Harken’s mistresses, which was why she once went through his phone and jotted down Max’s phone number when Harken was in the shower.

Now, the police were requesting Ruby to give them the number. When James dialed the number to check it out, he learned that Max’s full name was Max Drago.

James looked into him and found that Max owned several stores. A generous man, Max financially supported several gangsters. Harken was once one of those gangsters.

Although they had found Max, it did not explain anything. What was most important now was that they located Harken. Before this, Jackson had not wanted to launc

    Max gasped inwardly in shock upon realization. He had to escape before Ruby recognized him. When the thought occurred to him, he immediately stood up to leave. Ruby thought she had a chance with Max when he sat down to listen to her and did not expect him to hurriedly leave like he was avoiding the plague. Disgusted, Ruby spat at Max’s retreating figure. “F*ck you! What do you think you’re doing?” Max hurriedly left the nightclub and returned to his car, his heart still thumping. That Ruby Sanders was the same Ruby he knew? What a f*cking coincidence. Ruby had not recognized him, right? Upon thinking of this, he came to the conclusion that she must not have recognized him. If she had, there was no way her temper would have allowed her not to kick up a fuss. He wiped his sweat from his brow. He was the one who had taken Ruby’s virginity when she was a little older than ten years old. After she found out she was pregnant and had an abortion, her brother, Jasper Sanders, asked aroun

    Roxanne had been to the hospital several times to see if she could get a chance to turn off Jade’s ventilator but it never happened. When she saw how responsible the two nurses were for not allowing anyone to get near Jade unsupervised, Roxanne was terrified. She knew without a shadow of a doubt how Jade was like a ticking bomb that could explode anytime, blowing her and Susan up into bits. It would be hard for her and Susan to escape if Jade ever woke up. Roxanne might have no chance of making a move, but that did not mean everyone else shared the same predicament. Susan suggested recruiting someone to do it for them. Now that Max was Susan’s most trusted and easiest subordinate to instruct, she naturally thought of him first. Thus, she phoned Hannah and got her to inform Max that she wanted to discuss something with him at the beauty salon. Although Max knew that whatever Susan wanted him to do would be nothing good, he had no choice but to arrive at the beauty salon on time. Sus

    Jackson was worried about Yvonne’s safety when he learned of Susan’s cruelty. If Susan were cruel enough to commit such acts against his mother, she would definitely dare attack Yvonne. He had to tell Yvonne about this and remind her to pay attention to her safety. Jackson met up with Yvonne and told her about Susan and Max. Yvonne was shocked to hear about that. No one doubted that Susan was an immoral woman when she seduced Jared and gave birth to Fiona. However, Yvonne never expected her immorality to extend to such measures. “That woman is so evil. We have to alert the police and capture her.” Yvonne was both furious and worried. Jackson shook his head. “We can’t alert the police! That’ll be a bargain for them.” “What do you plan to do?”“Fight tooth and nail!” Jackson said as he laughed coldly. “They made such careful plans to frame us. We’d be doing them a favor if we let them be caught and jailed. I want them to understand what it feels like to be framed as well.” Jad

    “I thought it was weird too, which is why I launched a detailed investigation into Greyson. After several days of tailing him and looking into him, I managed to find some information on him. Greyson used to be a gangster who took part in scams, abductions, fights, and brawls. He only got back on the right track two years ago when he opened his shop in the Western District. Since then, he has spent the years as a model citizen without committing any crimes. “Does that mean we got the wrong person?” Zachary frowned. “Whatever. We have to take this slow. Keep your eye on this person.”He passed a photograph of Max to Felix. “This person has an unusual relationship with Secretary Summers’ wife. Keep an eye on him, and it’ll be best if you can get a photo of them together for me.” Felix took the photograph and gasped in astonishment when he saw it. “Him?” “You know him?” “This man’s name is Max Drago. He used to be in a gang with Greyson. They’ve both now abandoned their lives as o

    “Life is too short as is. There’s no need to make ourselves suffer over another person’s mistake. Jared Summers’ life has nothing to do with us. It doesn’t matter if Susan Lowe is having an affair or doing anything else illegal. We have nothing to do with it all, and we don’t have to insert ourselves in these matters. All we have to do is live our lives well.” Upon seeing that both Yvonne and Welsey had voiced out their objections and lack of enthusiasm toward punishing Susan, Sandy and Zachary had no choice but to let it go. When Zachary was done with dinner, he said he wanted to get a drink at the bar and asked if Sandy would like to go along with him. Zachary had never invited Sandy to have drinks before this, but Sandy agreed to go out with him because she could tell he had something he wanted to talk to her about. However, things were not as Sandy had thought. Zachary did not say anything to her and took several detours as he led her to a bar. The bar was not a classy one, a

    “I have to ask them about this. They can’t fool people like that.” “Sit down. I haven’t finished talking,” Zachary said as he tugged Sandy back down. “Do you know why they teamed up to fool you?”“That’s what I’m going to ask them?” “They won’t tell you even if you ask them. I think it’s better if I explain things to you,” Zachary said as he smiled coldly. “That man is a friend of Susan Lowe’s lover. Didn’t you beat Fiona up? My guess is they were trying to attack you.” “Putting on an act like that to attack me?” Sandy had an expression of disbelief on her face. If they truly wanted to attack her, why did they not just get some people to give her a beating? Why put in so much effort?” “I only just made sense of it too,” Zachary said as he smiled coolly. “Fiona’s whole body was badly battered after you hit her, and Susan would definitely hold a grudge against you over that. However, she’s in a difficult situation right now and won’t dare to deal with you openly. Thus, she arran

    Sandy naturally knew how much this would affect Yvonne. “So what should we do now? Do we continue waiting?” “Let’s at least wait until Yvonne gives birth,” Zachary said as he sighed. “Yvonne’s still pregnant now, and Leo is sick. We can’t distract her anymore. Let’s keep this between us two for now. In the future, you keep an eye out and I’ll protect Yvonne so that Susan won’t take any desperate measures. We’ll discuss it further after Yvonne gives birth.” Sandy could not come up with any other good plans. She understood Zachary’s worries. Yvonne was pouring all her energy and attention onto Leo now and should not be distracted with such matters. However, that meant that Susan Lowe got to roam freely, which caused Sandy to feel indignant. Fiona was in a great mood. Jade was lying unconscious in the hospital while Yvonne and Jackson were in a huge argument. The children she was carrying were now more than four months old, and the chances of her miscarrying were slight. She had to

    “No, that won’t happen. Ms. Lewis is a good person, she’ll recover,” Fiona repeated. “Let’s hope your statements come true,” Jackson said as he sighed. After staring at Fiona’s stomach for a couple of seconds, his voice turned gentle. “How many months along are you now?” “Almost five months now,” Fiona replied. “It must be hard having such a large stomach, right?” “Not really,” Fiona replied. After some thought, she added, “The children can kick now.” A complicated look flashed across Jackson’s eyes when he heard that. He reached out his hand, seemingly to touch Fiona’s stomach but then retracted it at the last second. “Thank you for your hard work! My mom will be happy to see you in your current condition.” Fiona had hoped Jackson would touch her stomach when she saw him reaching his hand out and was slightly disappointed when she saw him retract his hand. However, she became happy again when she noticed that Jackson seemed to be looking forward to the birth of the childre

    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
