Ailina’s POV:
Hearing my father's words, I sneered and pulled out the pillow from Susan’s skirt.
As soon as I took out the pillow, the noisy living room became utterly quiet. Everyone stood there in shock and disbelief, not moving for a long time.
“Dad, here is your so-called son! Take care of her!” I sneered, throwing a pillow in my father’s arms.
Looking at the pillow in my dad’s hand, Susan's face became pale. Then, covering her face, she cried.
“George, I just want to be with you and want Hallie call you dad rightfully. I just want her to recognize her ancestors. Honey, I have been with you for twenty years and Hallie is almost twenty years old. However, she still didn’t have a clear identity, and she is still laughed outside…”
“Even though… you still didn’t do such a thing…” He said, clenching the pillow in his hands.
Seeing this, Susan shook her head and wept, as if she regretted it and tangled.
“I can’t help it… I really can’t help it. I feel sorry for Hallie! She is so poor…”
“Dad, I also don’t want to called bastard… who have mother but no father…” Hallie held her mother and cried.
Seeing mother and daughter crying so hard, I must admit that they know my father so well that they could control his emotions and actions so well…
Sure enough, seeing mother and daughter pair crying like this and hearing their so-called heartfelt words, he quickly embraced them, saying, “I am sorry… I am sorry… it’s all my fault! I didn’t do my duty as a father…”
Seeing their so-called family drama, I felt bored and decided to go upstairs to have some rest.
However, before I could even take a single step, my father shouted, “Where are you going?”
I turned around to look at them.
“I am tired and didn’t want to watch your father and daughter reunion show, so I am going to my room!” I said.
“Even if your aunt is not pregnant, it didn’t give you the right to push her from such a high staircase. Do you even know how serious it could have been? Your aunt is always so good to you, how can you treat her like this! Quickly, apologize to her!” He scolded.
I sneered. “Apologize?”
Then, I pulled out my phone, opened the video, and placed it on the table, saying, “Dad, please see carefully how she fell from the stairs. Don’t try to cover her fake pregnancy with my pushing her down!”
Saying that, I left upstairs.
This video had already recorded how Susan fell from the stairs.
As I went upstairs, I could hear Grandpa knocking his cane on the floor and my father making excuses for Susan…
After I went back to my room, I could no longer hear their words.
After all, Susan had so many excuses and with my father believing her for so many years, I can’t change his opinion overnight.
Sure enough, in the evening he knocked on my door.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw him standing at the door of my room, holding a bowl of soup in his hands, with his face filled with a rare kindness.
“Ailina, why haven’t you slept yet? What are you doing?” he asked.
I was browsing my computer when he knocked on my door, so when he asked that question, turned my laptop to him.
However, he casually glanced at it and said, “Ailina, here drink some soup! Your Aunt Susan has especially prepared it for you!”
I didn’t want to quarrel with him, so I took the soup from her. After all, he is my father. Even though he is a bit stupid, he is not bad.
After taking a sip of the soup, I looked at him and said, “Dad, please thank Aunt on my behalf!”
Hearing that, he smiled and said, “Ailina, I am sorry for today! I have misunderstood you!”
However, I just smiled and didn’t say anything.
“Ailina, please don’t blame your Aunt for what happened today! It’s just that when she fell down in panic was and became a little confused, thinking that you pushed her down. She didn’t mean to hurt you intentionally!”
“Oh!” I said dumbly, bowed my head, taking another sip of the soup in my hand.
Dad sighed and said, “Ailina, I know you have been wrong today, however why didn’t you reached out to hold her hand. If you held her, she didn’t fell down, you wouldn’t have been wronged and…”
“And no one know about Aunt Susan’s fake pregnancy and you would been able to marry her, right?” I said calmly, interrupting his words.
He didn’t seem to expect me to see through him as he coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment.
“You’re aunt has been living under our roof all these years, and has been taking care all of us tirelessly, without any identity. She just wants to have a family with me.” he said.
“Dad, the reason I didn’t reached out to hold Aunt’s hand to avoid any misunderstanding. If aunt still fell down, then it could have been conclusive that I did push her down, right?” I said lightly.
“As long as you reach for her, how could she fell?”
“What if Aunt Susan has to fall today?”
“How is this possible?” He said, shaking his head.
“Why not? If…”
“Okay, drop it for now. This is the end of the story and the past things will not be said.”
Ailina’s POV:I wanted to talk about this matter with Dad. But apparently, he was not in the mood to listen to my explanation. It seemed that he had come here to talk about something else.As expected, he sighed, saying, “Ailina, your mother has passed away for several years and I have been single for a long time now. I am old and need a company. Aunt Susan and I can get along with each other. Well, we want to get married, but your grandfather has disagreed with us all along. Ailina, Grandfather always takes your advice. Would you please help me to persuade him?”Hearing his words, I looked up at him. “Dad, have you ever loved my mother?” I asked.“How can I know what love is at that age? I just want to get along with your aunt.” He said, frowning.Hearing that I could not help but laugh. “Dad, Hallie is only one year younger than me. Is she your biological daughter too?”“Why do you say that?” He asked. His face clouded as he coughed softly.‘Why? Of course, because Susan is an unpro
Susan’s POV:After breakfast, I was chatting with my daughter while applying nail polish.Hallie asked, “Mom, why did Ailina suddenly became so different? And what did she mean today?”I frowned, stretching out my hand so that she could also apply nail polish for me, saying, “What did she mean? She just wants to instigate the dispute between your father and me. She was like an instigator in this house. She not only wants to instigate your father but also the old man. The old man hasn’t let me for a long time. He must have listened to her calumny. I better arrange for her to marry some people earlier.”Hallie paused for a moment. “Mom, what do you mean? Are you saying that you want Ailina and Darren to get married? No way! He is mine!” she said in a raised voice.However, looking at Ailina, who was walking downstairs, I felt a little guilty. “Ailina, are you going out?” I asked.She smiled calmly and nodded, “Yes.”Then, she carried her bag and left.As soon as she walked out, Hallie a
Susan’s POV:The engagement between Ailina and Darren is nothing more than a business deal between both families in the first place.Hearing Mrs. Moore’s words, George panicked, “Madam Moore…”“Madam Moore, If we still have another innocent daughter of the Carters, can we still keep the engagement?” I said, interrupting him.“The Wilson’s still have another daughter?” Madam Moore frowned. Then, she looked at Hallie and said arrogantly, “My son Darren is the only heir of the Moore family and we don’t accept an illegitimate daughter for him.”I looked at George, but he looked at the old master.“Dad, please let Hallie marry Darren?” he begged.As soon as George finished speaking, everyone's attention fell on Old Mater, who was just sitting there listening to our conversation.However, instead, he looked at Ailina and asked, “Ailina, what do you think?”“Dad, how can you still ask her opinion. She doesn’t have a right to say anything. If it weren’t for her, would it be like that?” George
Darren POV:Before getting in the car, I paused and looked at Ailina.Every time I came to the Wilson’s before when I left, Ailina always told me to be careful on the way back home, reluctant to part from me.However, today even after waiting for so long, she didn’t say anything and just stood far away and looked at me to get in the car. There is not even a smile on her face.Because of this, I felt a little lost in my heart.“Girls need to be coaxed. Take some time to buy a gift for Ailina. Today she is indeed wrong!” Mom said, patting my hand.I nodded. However, today when I looked at Ailina I felt that she is different from before, I can’t tell what different is.Ailina’s POV:I was about to go inside when I suddenly saw a familiar figure on the side of the road and I went blank because of fear.He was the man I slept with.I ran to the man standing not far away. “What are you doing here?” I asked.The man didn’t say anything and looked at me for a while. Then, he finally opened hi
Rican’s POV:I didn’t answer him, instead, I got out of the car and walked towards Ailina who was sitting on the roadside with a piece of glass tied to her feet. It was seemingly deep and her feet were full of blood.She gritted her teeth in pain but didn’t make a sound.When she pulled out the piece of glass, the more blood came out from her wound.“Ah, this a cruel woman!” James said, covering his eyes.Seeing this I frowned slightly and carried the girl who was sitting on the roadside. However, I didn’t expect her to be so light.“What are you doing?”She asked, looking around in a panic, as if she was afraid of being caught by someone. Then, she breathed a sigh of relief.However, I ignored her question, I directly carried her into the car and then also sat inside.“Go to the hospital!” I said to James.“Yes, sir!” James replied, starting the engine.“No need to go to the hospital!” Ailina said.However, I ignored her words and continued to read the document.“Little girl, you are
Karl’s POV:I was about to scold George when my eyes fell on Ailina who was limping inside.Seeing this I frowned and quickly said to Steve, “Hurry up and help her.”Steve held Ailina on the sofa and her feet were covered with a thick layer of gauze, and asked with concern, “Ailina, what’s wrong with your feet?”“I accidentally got stuck by a glass, don’t worry!” she said with a smile.“Let me take a look.”I held her feet and took a look without hesitation, but my expression changed suddenly.“What’s wrong, Grandpa?” she asked.I shook my head. “It’s all right, all right, and you should be careful in the future.”“I will.” she nodded with a smile.Then, I got up and went back to the backyard. As I walked, George’s voice came from behind, “Dad, don’t you have some supper?”However, I didn’t answer him and walked in a hurry.Steve followed me into the backyard and asked, “Master, what’s wrong?”I paused for a long time not knowing what to say, then sighed, “What should come will come.”
Hallie’s POV:I sat in front of the mirror, looking at my chin, and couldn’t help but grit my teeth. “Ailina is a bitch!”However, when my eyes fell on the box in front of me, I couldn’t help but smile lightly and open the box.Inside the box is a design sketch.It was dropped on the floor today when the servants were sorting out the belongings of Ailina’s mother, and I picked it up. The design of this sketch is amazing.If I used it to participate in the design competition, I would certainly win the championship.At that moment someone knocked on the door, and I quickly put the sketch back into the box.My mother came in with a bottle of ointment in her hand. She applied ointment on my chin, saying, “Why did you mess with her?”“I just hate her patronizing manner,” I said angrily.“Alas, you had better focus on the design competition recently.” She put down the ointment and continued, “If you win an award in the design competition, your grandpa will certainly take a new look at you.
Hallie’s POV:“Ailina, I don’t know what misunderstanding you have with me and my mother. We used to get along very well, but why is it suddenly like this now?”I had always been struggling with this matter.It seemed that since I drugged her but failed that day, she had changed.‘Did Ailina know that I drugged her that day?’At that moment, a voice came out from the computer.“Player “Lucifer” is required to enter the ‘Burial Grounds’ within one minute. Otherwise, your qualification of the first kill will be canceled.’Hearing that, Ailina looked at the computer and skillfully manipulated the mouse. “If you have nothing to do with me, please go out!” she said.I bit my lower lip. “Although you don’t want to live in peace with me, I still want to live in peace with you. Sister, I will show you my determination. This is for you, and you must wear it tomorrow.”Saying that I handed over a crystal box. A blue gemstone necklace could be seen through the box.Ailina looked at the box sligh
Eric’s POV:The Sky Tower Building was the tallest in city A, which towered into the clouds as its name suggested.And now my feet were tied to an elastic rope.The other end of the roof was tied to a flagpole.I stood there trembling and roared, “Who are you? Do you know who I am? Hurry up and let me go, or you will pay for it…”Dong!I was pushed down from the roof before finishing my words.I was too frightened to my head my image, and screamed, “Ah! Dear lord, help me. Help me…”However, nobody cared about me no matter how loudly I screamed.I tumbled down from the roof, and was bounced halfway back, and then fell again.I was nearly insane. The wind whistled by my ears and I felt that next moment I was going to die. I was unable to catch my breath and fainted.Jayden’s POV:The third Master had called me last night and asked me to bring Eric to T
Rican’s POV:When Ailina woke up, she felt a sharp pain in her shoulder. She was too weak to sit upI supported her. “Let me help you.”She blinked up for a long time and finally remembered what had happened before. “Why are we at the hospital? There is no need to send me to the hospital for this minor injury.”Seeing that Ailina didn’t care about her injury at all, I couldn’t do anything with her but asked, “Did you stab yourself?”When Trevor said that the cut avoided arteries, I figured out that Ailina herself did it.“Yes.” She nodded. “Did I do it perfectly? It looks serious, but isn’t fatal. It will scare them. Besides…”Seeing her thoughts wondering, I scratched her nose with my finger. “Don’t ever do it again.”“I did it on purpose. I have something important to do. The injury is essential.” Ailina sa
Jayden’s POV:Later, Third Master’s second eldest uncle, Edward Alfonzo, revolted. However, Wayyt had planned a car accident in response to Edward’s revolution. That accident took Edward and his family’s life.At that time, the Third Master’s expression was dark. Later Third Master took charge and tried his best to clean up the mess. He sent his uncle Wayyt to prison and recognized Alfonzo. For that, he became the head of the Alfonzo nowadays. He was also the most convincing head of Alfonzo in Alfonzo’s history, and of course, the most frightening one.I was a little nervous. If the Third Master is like this, he must be planning something big.I was a little excited and, at the same time, a little flustered.When we arrived at the hospital, the Third Master carried Ailina inside the hospital himself.He was anxious, but he did the thing in an orderly manner.“Call Trevor Primo.” He order
Ailina’s POV:I drew my limp body to full straight.I smiled coldly, “Is that so?”Darren came closer by wheelchair and reached out to hold my hand. “Ailina, we are so perfect for each other. Do you remember when we…”I felt I was about to lose consciousness, so I didn’t waste time listening to Darren anymore. I held the fruit knife that I secretly took to Darren’s throat, “I think you and Hallie are well-matched.”He seemed didn’t expect me to have a knife in my hand. He was so scared that he trembled, “Ailina, what are you doing?”A sudden dizziness hit me, and I couldn’t even sit still.Darren suddenly and fiercely hit me with my wheelchair.So I fell off the chair.He chucked, “Ailina look at you. What are you still resisting? Give in to me. I will be nice to you now and the future.”Darren’s POV:I st
Susan’s POV:Hallie looked at the wine in her hand and dared not to drink it. She knew that I had put something in Ailina’s glass.She gritted her teeth but didn’t drink.Ailina didn’t drink either. “You refused to drink. It seemed that you don’t want to coexist peacefully with me. You and Susan didn’t keep your promise. You hate me very much, right? After all, I didn’t let you win the prize for my design, nor did I take the initiative to give my boyfriend to you.”Hallie was not drinking and Ailina’s words nullified what I had done, pretending to be pitiful.A woman came over and pushed me, “Didn’t you say that you and Ailina should live together peacefully? Why isn’t Hallie drinking now?”“I watched the live streaming. Hallie stole Ailina’s design to participate in the design competition. Later, it was exposed. Could it be that Hallie still harbors a grudge?”“Maybe. Just now, Susan said that she wanted to get along with Ailina. But I don’t think that its Ailina’s fault. It seemed t
Elisa’s POV:“He is so handsome. Can I have such a boyfriend?”A group of girls looked at Ailina with envy. They all gazed admiringly at that man.I frowned, wondering if it was a real painting.It was worth tens of millions. How could an ordinary man afford it?And he gave it to others as a gift.Who was this man?I raised my heart to look at him. Looking at his handsome appearance and extraordinary bearing, I always felt as min the man didn’t look like an ordinary person.But even if he was not, so what? Ailina had to marry into the Murray family.I looked at Susan.She nodded at me.A few more people came to deliver the gifts.After watching several people’s gifts, Karl was a little tired. Not long after the banquet began, he went upstairs to rest.Author’s POV:Ailina had been with Ricky. “Thank you for coming today.”“Idiot, I am your boyfriend. Of course, I am coming.” He reached out and rubbed the top of her hair.She curved my lips, each of them held a wine glass, clashed, and
Ailina’s POV:All people thought that Ricky borrowed the luxury car and pretended to be rich. They expected him to be make fool of himself.Everyone was waiting to see his gift. Some wanted to laugh at him, while others expected to see something extraordinary.I turned to look at Ricky and lowered my voice to ask, “Did you forget the gift?”He looked down at me. I patted his hand and said, “It’s okay. I am prepared. I will go upstairs to get it. I will tell Grandpa that we sent it together.”Just as I turned around, Ricky pulled me back, he held my waist tightly and handed me a painting. “Unfold it for Grandpa.”I took it and chuckled, then gently opened it.Elisa’s POV:I had specially checked Ailina’s boyfriend, and I didn’t find anything. Apart from the Alfonzo family, there was no one else information in city A that I could not get. According to my survey, this man gas not have any eminent status or background. He must be an ordinary person.So looking at his gift, I smiled contem
Ailina’s POV:A limited-edition Roll-Royce stopped in front of the Wilson’s villa.Everyone gathers around the car. “Oh my God, who is in the car?”“The Wilson family is so prominent. Such a visitor come to congratulate them. You know what, this car is not something ordinary people can afford. This is a limited-edition car the year before. There are only five available in the world. Even if you have money, you might not be able to buy one. My uncle is an eminent figure abroad. He wanted the car that time, but he failed to get it. The owner of this car is certainly not an ordinary person.”Knowing that the car was rare and special, people around the car made a sound of surprise. When the car stopped, an extraordinary man in a suit got out of the vehicle.Some people asked, “Who is this that man?”“I don’t know, but he looks pretty good.”“Sure. A rich man surely has good quality. Look at the car, it’s really awesome. The owner of the yet car surely is awesome too.”Just as everyone was
Rican’s POV:I chuckled at it, then got up busy choosing a gift in the collection room.I had only met Karl one time, that’s why I didn’t know anything about his likes or dislikes.At last, I chose a classical traditional painting and packed it. Then, I began to get changed.I was in an old mention, walking out of my room as a neat-looking gentleman, wearing a crisp suit. All this made Grandpa who saw it sort of sullen.“You brat, where are you going at this time? Don’t you know that it’s New Year’s holiday? Come on, quit leaving and play chess with your dare grandpa.”I raised my eyebrows, “Sounds like you don’t like great-grandson?”Thinking it over, he put on another smiling face, “Are you going to meet my future granddaughter-in-law?”I nodded. “Yes, today is her grandfather’s seventieth birthday.”“So you will be with her family.” Grandpa stood up with his walking stick and looked at me. “I must make sure you are properly dressed.”It took a while before he finally nodded, “Alrig
