If Rachel failed to contact Nathaniel, her next move was to hope for the demise of the White family. That way, she could claim to her parents that the Hooper family would have never let them go, even when she had married an old bachelor. With that, her parents would find a way to set Nathaniel free, and then Rachel would have a second chance in life through Nathaniel's love for her. After all, given Jeremy's old age, Nathaniel would be the next successor of the Hooper family."I'll admit that you're smart. But too bad you used your wits at the wrong place!"Angeline gave Rachel a cold stare. "You've made a horrible move by threatening me with my kids. I've told you, Rachel. I'll never let anyone endanger my children." Rachel turned pale. She knew she had made a mistake. "Let me ask you a question. You're the bottom rung of the ladder in your family, where even a maid can walk all over you. How much worse do you think you'll be if I sweeten the deal with the White family?"
Danny carried on continuously, rambling incessantly—all to convince Angeline to participate in the next day's competition for him."You're springing this on me so suddenly. I might not have time tomorrow…" Angeline demurred."I already called Jamie. You have no client meetings tomorrow afternoon and will only be at the office!" Danny insisted.She was rendered speechless, regretting to have given him Jamie's number. He had come prepared."Boss, you have a secret lover now. Even Yasmine and Xavier already have a stepdad. But look at me! I'm still awfully single… and childless! Can you bear to watch my dear Heather being snatched away, leaving me alone and miserable for the rest of my life?"Danny began to play the pity card, adding, "I wouldn't bother you if it weren't life and death!"The games had been garnering attention, with everyone knowing that Danny, the head of Vitality Biotech Group Lonla Division, was going. If he didn't attend, the students participating would feel tha
"Stop… Stop nudging me!" said Eleanor to Aaron, keeping her head down.She looked through the reflection on the experimental equipment to ensure that her face was well-covered under her face mask. Then, she stood up and resumed her experiment."Hurry up! The competition is important!" Aaron urged. "This isn't like you. Aren't you usually eager to meet Vitality Biotech Group's founder? Why are you suddenly so scared?""Quiet! Stop spouting nonsense!"Eleanor carried on her tasks nervously, and only when Angeline left their station did she breathe a sigh of relief.When the games ended, Angeline looked at the results in her hand. Surprisingly, Eleanor's group came in first.During the award ceremony, the host announced that Vitality Biotech Group's founder would present the awards. Eleanor wished she could bury her head somewhere as her group stood on the stage."Eleanor, are you the group leader?" Angeline asked, smiling while handing the trophy to Eleanor.Eleanor's eyes were
Juliet nodded and said, "Alright! Thank you, miss! Let's hurry. We can't let that bitch get away."The female student sensed something amiss when she heard "bitch" being said but didn't dwell on it."Hold on, madam. The competition has already ended. If you're looking for a particular student, I can help you get in touch!" she offered eagerly.Upon hearing this, Katie stepped forward and said, "We're looking for Angeline Emmerson, the founder of Vitality Biotech Group, who came to present the awards! Can you take us to see her?"Someone just called us and said she was here at Krontos University."The student was stunned."I might not be able to help then. I'm not from the biology department, and… I don't know her. Maybe you could head over to the laboratory building and see if any award-winning students from the biology department have her contact information.""Mom, let's go!" Katie urged while holding onto Juliet to support her.The female student found it all rather odd as s
As she thought of a plan to corner Angeline, Juliet turned to her children and said, "Early tomorrow morning, Katie, you stay at the hospital to look after Benjamin. George and I will create a scene in front of the Vitality Biotech Group building."If Jodie doesn't pay for Benjamin's medical expenses and give him a kidney, I'll ruin her reputation!""Just causing a scene like that won't work. Last time, when we caused a scene at Lawson Global, the security dragged us away before we could even start. It was so embarrassing!" said George with a frown."And later, we were even warned by the police. If they hadn't seen that you're old, they would have detained us all, and none of us would be able to take care of Benjamin from jail!"Juliet retaliated, "If you're afraid of being humiliated, I will go alone. So what if it's the police? They'd have to release me anyway after seeing I'm an old lady! I'll just lie down in front of their building and let everyone see how the bitch is ignorin
Rachel ended the call with the Emmersons after speaking."What kind of people are the Emmersons?" she wondered.She had practically paved the way for them, like serving a meal on the platter, yet they were waiting for her to spoonfeed them.They refused to think before they acted and still expected Angeline to hand them money and even give away a kidney. Were they out of their minds?Rachel took a deep breath to calm herself down and pushed the Emmersons out of her mind, somewhat easing her emotions.Both Lawson Global and Vitality Biotech Group have become hot topics.Nathaniel had a subsidiary company that was working on a self-media livestreaming app, but it hadn't been launched yet. If George were willing to involve Lawson Global and Vitality Biotech Group in the livestream, Rachel was confident it would break the internet. It would also generate free publicity for Nathaniel's company.She thought Jeremy would be pleased once he lifted Nathaniel's curfew and learned that t
"Let go of me! You're not my children!" Juliet exclaimed in terror. "Where did you people come from? My son and daughter are both in the hospital. Who are you?"The old man pretending to be her husband cried, "Juliet, how can you say such heartless words? Our two children have been very responsible. "Because of your illness, our son didn't get married until he was 38, and now, his family has fallen apart. His wife didn't want our grandson to be affected by you, so she took him and left! I can't even see my precious grandson now!"With his face in his hands, he bawled, "Because of you, our daughter married a disabled man just to obtain the 380,000-dollar dowry for your treatment. How can you not recognize your children after all their sacrifices?""Dad, please don't say that. Mom is just sick. She still remembers that she has a son and a daughter," said the middle-aged man, who was pretending to be Juliet's son. "Mom, I'm your son. Look at me!""Mom, please… Let's just go home
"I'm so sorry. I'm sorry, everyone! I'm really sorry…" said the old man as he walked away apologetically.Meanwhile, standing on the rooftop, Danny laughed so hard his stomach hurt as he watched the video his employees had taken and immediately sent it to Angeline."Oh my God, Boss… Did you see how that old lady was screaming hysterically about calling the police while being carried away by those two people? It's so hilarious that I can't stop laughing."He chuckled as he spoke to Angeline on the phone. "We must use extreme measures to deal with people like this. She enjoys moral blackmail, doesn't she? Let her experience the power of moral blackmail herself, then!"As before, no one helped her or even considered calling the police.On the other end of the phone, Angeline was busy dealing with documents and didn't have time to check the messages Danny sent.She said, "If you have time for this, you might as well follow up on the progress of the domestic laboratories. This way,
