Timmy had always been an ignorant and incompetent person. The only things he knew were eating, drinking, wh*ring around, and gambling. In the past, he was nearly thrown into jail after beating someone up over a woman. He only escaped incarceration because Susan had intervened. Susan did not help Timmy out of the kindness of her heart but because she wanted to use Sarah and have her do things for her. Sure enough, Sarah did not disappoint. Timmy never did anything beneficial with his time. Thus, Sarah begged Susan to help her son get a job because she was worried he would stray onto the wrong path again. Helping Timmy find a job took Susan a lot of effort. Timmy did not have many credentials, which meant he did not qualify for many positions. Yet, he was too proud to accept those he did qualify for. He was extremely picky, wanting a job that was both low-effort and high-earning. Susan managed to help him find several jobs, but he screwed them all up. In the end, she ran out of o
Jared was decisive and quickly fired Timmy. After Timmy was fired, Sarah immediately phoned Susan to tell her about it. Susan was shocked and was worried that Jared might have suspected something. ‘Could Jared already know that Timmy Lambert was secretly working for me? To be fair, I did not ask him to do much. All he had to do was pay more attention to what Jared has been up to and to dump Leo into the stinky sewers at the hospital. It was unlikely for Jared to have noticed anything.’By the time Jared came home at night, he had already hired a new driver. Susan remained completely natural as she asked, “Why did you change your driver? Where is Timmy?”“Enough with that man. He cannot be used anymore.” Jared told Susan about the fact that Timmy had been whoring around and doing drugs. She felt relieved because he did not harbour suspicions about her. Later on, she also told Sarah about it to reassure her. Sarah was relieved when she found out that the reason why Timmy was fired
The transfer fee proposed by the boss was 12 million. How could Timmy have so much money? Sarah had been with the Millers for nine years. She had a total savings not more than 5 million when she combined her usual salary, the fraudulent money she kept when she bought things on the family’s behalf, and Susan’s bribe.The 5 million was still far from the 12 million. Sarah, who could not afford to spend so much had to persuade Timmy to give up, but the huge benefits made him unwilling to listen. He asked her to borrow from Jackson, but there was no way she dared to do so. He then asked her to ask Susan, relying on the fact that he had done so many things for her so had to be rewarded. Besides, the money was not disappearing into thin air. Rather, they were just borrowing it for the time being and would repay Susan with the profits made. Thus, Sarah had no choice but to speak to Susan about this matter. Susan was raging in her heart the moment she heard the amount of money Sarah was ask
A group of police officers suddenly appeared at the nightclub, along with personnel from the State Administration for Industry and Commerce. They announced that they received reports saying that they were selling counterfeit liquor in the nightclub and that they had to search the nightclub according to the law. The police soon barricaded the nightclub and inspected the liquor in the warehouse of the nightclub. After their investigation, the millions worth of foreign wine in the warehouse all turned out to be counterfeit liquor.The personnel from the State Administration for Industry and Commerce imposed penalties on the sale of counterfeit liquor in the nightclub. They confiscated the illegal alcohol and imposed a fine on these counterfeit products. The fine imposed was not less than 50% but not more than three times the total value of the same kind of genuine products. Due to the huge number of counterfeit liquor, the business license was revoked in accordance with the law.It felt
“This might be a small matter to President Miller, but to me, it is the world.” Director Tillery was exceptionally grateful toward Jackson. In reality, he was the true owner of that nightclub, but due to his official title, he had to use someone else’s name on the registry. It was also because of his connections that the nightclub was doing so well and had been earning a lot these few years. Things were going extremely well until last month when he heard that the provincial government had started investigations on the properties belonging to officials in South City. Director Tillery was afraid of being exposed. If he was charged, he would lose a lot. Just as he was feeling anxious about it, problems also arose regarding the product importing process. The liquor that cost millions was being swapped to counterfeit alcohol. Director Tillery was not too concerned about the counterfeit alcohol as he had earned a lot from the nightclub throughout these years. Right now, his only concern
Yvonne did not know Roxanne’s true identity. So based on that, it can be assumed that Cindy did not mention Roxanne to her at all. ‘Why did Cindy not tell her daughter about Roxanne?’‘On the other hand, Roxanne should know of Yvonne’s true identity. To know this, yet continue to help Susan and her daughter in their plot... it is obvious that Roxanne hates her own niece.’‘Roxanne and Yvonne have never met before, so where did all this hatred come from? I have to infer that Roxanne hates Yvonne because of Cindy. Although Roxanne and Cindy are half-sisters, they still came from the same mother. Why were the two so distant?’Previously, Jackson believed in Ella’s lie that there was nothing going on between her and Roxanne, but now he was convinced that she was her daughter. Otherwise, she would not have helped Roxanne to plot against him. He had not heard from Ella since the day she went abroad. Previously, Jackson suspected her of hiding somewhere in the country instead of going ab
Jackson scheduled a meeting with Wesley, and he went straight to the point when they eventually met. “I am here to ask you questions about the past and I hope that you can give me an honest answer.”Upon hearing Jackson’s words, Wesley guessed that he probably found out about his true identity. Even so, he remained calm. “What do you want to know?”“I have a lot of questions in my head. Firstly, I want to know why you are impersonating Wesley Yates.” Jackson did not beat around the bush as he said, “Secondly, I want to know about Roxanne Moss.”“Actually, I did not want to impersonate Wesley.” Frank sighed and told Jackson about everything that jad happened back then when the paintings were swapped. “When Wesley Yates encountered an accident and passed away, it was at the same time I happened to come back to South City in despair after my accident. I had nowhere to go, and Yvonne’s mother was generous enough to take me in. In order to escape from the hassle, I used Wesley’s identi
“Yvonne told you about my mother, right? I suspect that Roxanne had something to do with this.”Jackson felt sad when he thought of his mother who was still in a coma at the hospital. He then told Frank about the fact that Roxanne had helped Susan and her daughter to conspire against him and his mother. “To be honest, I was afraid of accusing the wrong person. After all, she was my mother’s best friend and my mother had treated her wholeheartedly all these years. I started investigating everything from the beginning so that I would not accidentally accuse the wrong person or overlook the actual culprit. I am here today because I cannot understand why Roxanne would treat my mother this way, and why would she help Susan to deal with her own niece.”“She is a person who will do anything to achieve her goals. I do not know why she connived to harm your mother, but I know why she helped Susan to deal with Yvonne. She hated Cindy, and naturally, hated her daughter as well.”“Yvonne’s mo
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
