Judge Harris looked at Mr Blaze and said, “Your witness.” Mr Blaze called Mrs Michaela Ferguson to the stand. Mrs Ferguson sat on the witness stand. She solemnly promised that she would speak nothing but the truth.Mr Blaze looked at Michaela and said, “During the bail application, Mr Cliff told the court that you had already signed the divorce papers. I am confused. Why did you meet your husband’s mistress?”Mr Cliff was fuming with anger when he heard Mr Blaze labeling Paula as a mistress. However, he didn’t utter a word because it was the truth. Michaela was Thorne’s legally wedded wife.Michaela looked at Mr Blaze and replied, “It was against my better judgment. I was curious what she wanted to say to me. Also, I wanted to tell her that I had nothing to do with her lover.Unfortunately, I didn’t get that opportunity because she was already injured when I arrived at the Shalom Shopping Mall.”Mr Blaze nodded his head and asked, “Did you push your husband’s mistress, Mrs Ferguson?”
After the netizens heard Michaela’s testimony, they were up in arms. They scolded Thorne for failing to provide for his wife and hurled insults at him and his mistress.When Thorne Ferguson walked outside the courtroom, he was ambushed by the reporters. Ben, the reporter, approached him and asked, “President Ferguson, is it true that for the past two years, you failed to buy your wife even a lollipop?”Thorne’s face darkened. He looked at Ben, the reporter, coldly but didn’t utter a word. His lawyer, Jeff Cliff, looked at Ben, the reporter, and said, “No comment.”Then Thorne Ferguson’s bodyguards shielded him from the reporters and escorted him to the parking lot. He sat in his car for a long time without uttering a word.He couldn’t believe the person who used to look at him with eyes full of love would give up on him.Even though he didn’t have any feelings for his wife, hearing her say he was just a passerby, those words hurt him deeply.Countless women were dying to marry him, but
Michaela Ferguson looked at her husband with icy cold eyes and said, “Let’s divorce.” Michaela never thought that one day she would leave her marriage. She thought they would grow old together. Unfortunately, it was her wishful thinking.Thorne Ferguson was waiting to see his wife crying and begging him for forgiveness, but there were no tears in her eyes. A surge of anger rose in his heart, and he wanted to punish his wife.He smiled sinisterly and replied, “I agree on condition that you abort that thing in your stomach. You don’t qualify to carry the Ferguson heir. Only my Paula would be the mother of my children.”Thorne wanted to hit his wife where it hurt the most. Michaela promised the Ferguson elders that she would give them great-grandchildren to play with. She told them that she wanted a big family. The elders were beside themselves with happiness.Michaela felt cold hands pinching her fragile heart. However, she wasn’t surprised when she heard her husband’s words because he
A month later, Thorne Ferguson and David May were having dinner at His Grace Hotel. David looked at his best friend and said, “Thorne, your ex-wife is not doing well in prison. Do you want me to move her to a single cell?”Thorne shook his head and replied, “David, I don’t want to know anything about Michaela because she doesn’t mean anything to me. She deserves everything that is coming to her. Her life or death has nothing to do with me.”David felt sad for beautiful Michaela. She fell in love with the wrong man. He nodded his head and said, “I hope you will never regret the way you have treated your stunning wife, my friend.Michaela is very intelligent, but I don’t picture her bribing the hacker to remove the surveillance footage. I think she was falsely accused, and my gut feeling tells me that Sloane is lying.What would happen should you find that you were wrong about your wife, Thorne? Will you ask for forgiveness and take her back?”Thorne looked at his friend and replied, “I

He didn’t raise his head and said, “Come in.” He thought it was his Executive Secretary, Guy Smith.When his Executive Secretary didn’t say anything, he raised his head.

Owen Wells was in his office preparing for a murder trial when he stumbled on Thorne Ferguson and Michaela Ferguson's court case.He was so shocked when he saw Thorne Ferguson’s face. It was the face he had seen since he was in kindergarten. The person in the photo looked exactly like his sworn brother, Storm Saxon.

Michaela wiped her tears and replied, “On my eighteenth birthday, my parents invited influential people to celebrate my birthday and Thorne was among them. I am so sorry, Storm, I thought he was you.Thorne’s first love came back six months ago, and they turned my life upside down.Paula asked me to meet her at Shalom Shopping Mall. Against my better judgment, I agreed to meet her.When I arrived at the mall, she was already injured. However, Thorne accused me of pushing the love of his life.Since the surveillance footage was destroyed, Paula’s best friend, Sloane Ball, testified that she saw me pushing Paula. However, it was a lie. Then I was sentenced to twenty years in prison for a crime I didn’t commit.”Storm looked at Michaela with eyes full of love and said, “Sweetheart, I will do everything in my power to take you out of here. I will find a hacker who will be able to restore the surveillance footage.”Michaela looked at Storm with tears in her eyes and said, “Storm, please fo
Storm looked at Mr Miller and replied, “Uncle Miller, I am sorry for not coming earlier to visit Michaela. I just heard the news about her being in prison yesterday.Michaela has been so worried about your safety. She asked me to take you away with me. She is scared that Thorne might harm you should Miss Cage pass away.”Mrs Miller’s heart was moved to tears. Her daughter was still thinking of them even in prison. Mr Miller smiled at Storm and asked, “Where do you live, Son?”Storm told them that his mother immigrated to America after she divorced his father. Mr Miller nodded and said, “We don’t want to add stress to our daughter. Therefore, we will go with you. When are we leaving, Son?”Storm was happy to hear that and replied, “We will leave tomorrow morning. I want to introduce you to my grandfather. Would you mind spending the night at the Saxon family mansion?”Mr Miller breathed a sigh of relief when Storm told them he would take them far away from Thorne. His wife had sleeples

However, the protestors came in numbers carrying placards calling for no bail.When the reporters saw Mr Cage Senior and his grandson, Samson, they rushed to them.

Anger surged in her mother’s heart, and she replied, “I am your mother. It is your obligation to take care of me. Do you want to see me sleeping in the street like a beggar eating from the trash can while you are staying at the Saxon estate?”Penny smiled, but the smile didn’t reach her eyes, and said, “Mrs Earl, you have never treated me like your daughter.You chose Bella’s side all the time. Please leave and don’t ever contact me again.” Then Penny walked to the door and opened it wide.Her mother cried bitterly and replied, “I am so sorry for the way I have treated you, my dearest daughter. You can’t do this to me, Penny, I gave birth to you. I took care of you when you were helpless.Please, my sweet daughter, help me. From today onwards, I will treat you well. I will be a good mother to you. Please don’t harden your heart. After everything I have done for you?”Penny laughed out loud, but there was no humour in it and asked, “Do you mean after everything you did to me? Throwing

Penny didn’t realize that she was crying when her father was talking. Her father took his handkerchief and wiped her tears.Penny looked at Dr Gray and replied, “I have been asking myself if they were my biological parents because they never looked at me the same way they looked at my sister. They had showered Bella with all their love.For years, Mom had been telling me that I was a disappointment. I was tired of my mother’s criticism and constant comparisons to Bella. My mother told me that I would never amount to anything. The sad part I believed her.My mother’s words left marks that would take years or never to heal. I felt like I was not good enough.My parents never celebrated my birthdays. If it wasn’t for my nanny’s kindness, I wouldn’t have celebrated my birthday. They had never bought me a birthday cake.
