While Pearlie was looking at Ella's photo and coming up with a plan, Fiona was also looking at Ella’s photo on her phone. However, she was not alone. Susan was standing beside her.After Susan and Fiona moved out of the Summers’ residence and started staying in the high-class ward of the private hospital, their lives had been fairly comfortable. When Pearlie called Fiona, Susan was in the shower. When she came out of the shower and saw her daughter's pensive face, she asked her who she was talking to on the phone earlier.Fiona had mentioned to Susan about Pearlie working with her before, so naturally, she did not hide it from her mother and immediately told her about what Pearlie and she talked about just now."How coincidental. Pearlie met Ella in the United States?” Susan knew that Roxanne had sent Ella abroad to study, but she did not know that Roxanne tried to kill Ella. At that time, Roxanne told her that the reason why she sent Ella abroad was that she was afraid Ella would l
Susan did not know about Jared’s villa in the countryside. She thought to herself, ‘Jared sure is sneaky. Even though I’ve been married to him for so many years, I know nothing about how many properties he has. If he hadn't gotten sick, he’d probably hide the villa from me till who knows when. Jared must’ve gotten a lot of properties after being a government official for so many years. It seems that I have to find a way to get all his assets in the future.’As she thought about it, they arrived at the villa. When Susan got out of the car and entered the villa, she saw Ms. Lane standing in the living room. Upon seeing Susan, Ms. Lane pointed to the study. "Secretary Summers is waiting for you in the study on the second floor."As Susan pushed open the door of the study, Susan saw Jared sitting in a chair, staring at her. "Didn't you say you’re not feeling well? Why don't you lie down and rest?" Susan asked thoughtfully."I can't sleep." Jared let out a long sigh."Even if you can’t
"What do I mean by that?! Look at this, Susan!" Jared threw the anonymous letter at Susan's face.Susan picked up the letter that fell to the floor. When she read it, she started panicking badly but still pretended to be calm. ‘Who the hell did this?’ The only people who knew what had happened back then were Max and her. She knew that Max would never do something like that, so who was it?However, now was not the time to figure out who wrote the letter. She needed to make Jared trust her again. "Ol' Summers, you mustn’t believe this letter. Clearly, someone is framing it on me and trying to slander me to ruin our relationship.""As the saying goes, there's no smoke without fire. Why would the person frame you for this? No matter how I think about it, me getting drunk and us doing what we did that night never made any sense to me. I should’ve known that an evil woman like you who came from Cat Lane would do no good. You must’ve planned it! If you had any sense of honor, you would’ve
"You crazy power-hungry b*tch. Did you think you could get out of this place in one piece?"When she saw the driver and Ms. Lane’s smiles, a chill ran down Susan’s spine. She had done a lot of bad things in her life and the way they looked at her now gave her a strong sense of foreboding. Immediately, she opened her bag and pulled out her phone. She was about to call Fiona and tell her that she was trapped when she heard a beep from the phone, notifying her thet her number was cut off because of late fees.Jared sneered at Susan. "I had someone cut off your number. The only thing you can do now is call the police! Go on, call them!”Of course, Susan did not dare to call the police. When Jared saw that she did not dare to call the police, it made him absolutely certain that she had something to do with Cindy's death. He took out an iron bar from the corner of the study and slowly walked toward Susan. Susan wanted to run, but the stairs were blocked off by the driver and Ms. Lane. She
Both of them started to plan how to teach Susan a lesson. As they shared the same thoughts, their feelings for each other were growing rapidly. Timmy realized that he was starting to be inseparable from Ruby. Timmy pondered if he should tell his mother about Ruby’s matter. In the end, he came to the conclusion that he had to tell her even if she was against it.Ruby’s period had not come. Ruby had been working as a prostitute for many years, so she always used contraception. She thought she had found the right guy when she met Timmy, hence she no longer paid attention to the use of contraceptives. As she missed her period, she went to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor then told her that she was pregnant. Ruby told Timmy that she was pregnant and he was delighted. He believed that his mother would agree to let him be together with Ruby for the sake of the baby.Hence, he went to look for his mother and told her about this matter. When Sarah heard that her son was dating a woma
It was Yosef's watch. After Ella picked it up last night, she had carefully wiped it with a clean towel and put it beside her pillow.She had told herself that she was doing this only because she was worried she might break or lose Yosef's watch. She had no other intention. However, she had a dream last night. When she woke up in the morning, she was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat.She dreamt of Yosef smiling and walking toward her. He reached out and held her hand, asking her in a soft tone if she wanted to replace Yvonne and be his girlfriend. She said yes a few times without hesitation. Then, Yosef's expression changed and he pushed her away. While pointing at her, he scolded her. He said she was nowhere close to Yvonne, so how would she dare wish to become his woman without looking at her status?She finally understood that she was in love with Yosef. She desired his affection. However, she realized instantly that it was never going to happen. Besides, Yosef al
Yosef found it odd when he looked at Ella spacing out and asked. "El, what's wrong?" Ella snapped back to her senses, squeezed a smile, and said, "Oh, it's nothing. I didn't know I look so much like Sister Yvonne." "Yes. I told you, both of you look so much alike."Ella pointed at Leo and asked, “Who’s this little boy?”Yosef smiled. “Yvonne’s son.” Ella was surprised. She did not expect Yvonne to have a child. She wanted to ask Yosef how he fell for someone who already had a child but she knew it was impolite to ask that, so she held herself back. Yosef naturally would not explain anything to her either. He took back his phone, kept it, and said, "You can choose now, right?" "Yes." Ella smiled, bucked up, and looked at the clothes in the shop. She began to browse and choose. After looking at Yvonne’s photo, she figured that Yvonne was a mature woman with style. It was different from her own character and temperament. The ones she had her eyes on were slightly immature an
Yosef smiled and said, “Try it on first!”Ella was helpless. She could only carry the dress and entered the fitting room. After she changed into it, Yosef looked at her and praised her again. Ella thought it was pretty too as if the dress was specially tailored for her. It was a perfect fit, and it fully exuded her innocent and feminine aura. "This dress is perfect for you. You don't have to change anymore, just wear it." Ella was about to enter the fitting room and get changed when she was stopped by Yosef. Then, he spoke to the sales attendant. "Miss, I'd like to take these two dresses. Can you please pack the lilac-colored dress for me?" Ella's English was quite good. After she heard Yosef say that, she immediately realized that Yosef was planning to buy her this yellow dress, while the lilac-colored dress was for Yvonne. She was surprised as she did not expect Yosef to buy her such expensive clothes. Although she had not looked at the price tag and she did not know the bran
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
