Charlie Sr stood anxiously in the emergency ward, waiting for news from the doctors who were still in the operating room. His fists were clenched tightly and his heart was racing with nervousness. Suddenly, he heard faint footsteps and turned to see Margret Owen approaching."Margret," he called out to her softly.But Margret shot him a glare and haughtily reprimanded him, "Keep to yourself, Charlie. I'm not here because of you."Charlie Sr pursed his lips and squinted his eyes, hurt by her cold response. However, he limped over to her and apologized, "I'm sorry."Margret remained silent, but Charlie Sr didn't give up. He continued talking, "Please don't hate me or my family when you learn the truth someday."He said this with a serious tone before exhaling heavily and leaning against the wall, shutting his eyes.Margret couldn't resist stealing a glance at Charlie Sr's profile, causing her heart to skip a beat. Despite this, she shook her head and spoke softly to him, absolving him o
Peter's driver took them to the marriage registrar bureau. After obtaining the marriage certificate, they stepped out of the building. Chloe stood there, dazed and unable to blink. She couldn't understand how she had ended up married to Peter, a monster even worse than Charlie Sr."Regretting it already?" Peter's voice interrupted her thoughts.Chloe glared at him, her body shaking with anger. Peter remained composed and said, "Remember, I'm your husband now. You need to learn to behave properly. I won't tolerate disobedience from my wife. Don't even think about causing a scene here. People are watching us."Chloe looked around and realized that they were indeed drawing attention. Wherever they went, they would always be the centre of attention.Chloe reluctantly got into the car with Peter and they directed the driver to take them to his house. When they arrived, Chloe quickly walked towards the gate, Peter ran after her and caught her arm while boiling in rage. The atmosphere was t
The court bailiff was taken aback when he realized that Charlie Sr's assistant had not informed him of his arrival, despite being aware of his identity. As a court bailiff, he expected to be recognized and given access to Charlie Sr."Hello, I'm a court bailiff, and I've come to serve you a court letter," the bailiff introduced himself as he handed over the document.Charlie Sr looked puzzled as he stretched out his arm to receive the letter, his face creased with confusion."You may proceed," Charlie Sr said dismissively, waving him off. He tore open the envelope and scrutinized the contents, his eyes narrowing with each passing moment."What does this mean?" Charlie Sr growled, gritting his teeth and clenching his jaw in frustration.Charlie Sr stormed out of his ward and nearly collided with his assistant, who hastily handed him his phone."Sir Charlie Sr, you need to see this," Stones urged, his face etched with concern.Charlie Sr took the phone and scrolled through Chloe's news
Margret Owen's expression soured as the stranger made a bold and forward proposal. She took a deep breath before responding firmly, "I'm sorry, but I cannot entertain you if that's your intention." With that, she turned to walk away.But before she could take more than a few steps, Brenda stormed out of the nearby building, her rage palpable. Ever since her plan against Margret had failed, she had been searching for her sons to exact revenge. She had even gone to Margret's old house, only to find that she had moved out.Brenda's face darkened at the sight of Margret, whom she had not expected to see so soon after leaving her office in disappointment.Brenda addressed Margret with a cold tone, gritting her teeth in anger as she called out her name. Margret responded with irritation, clearly not in the mood to entertain her."What do you want, Brenda?" Margret asked.Brenda's tone became even more aggressive as she snapped back, "If you don't bring those bastards here, I will ensure tha
Charlie Sr's expression turned grim as he listened to Stones' report about Chloe's recent suspicious behaviour. He had a sinking feeling in his gut as he realized that something was amiss."Let's head to my ward," he said through gritted teeth.Charlie Sr's ward was equipped with all the essentials he needed, but he rarely used the television that was mounted on the wall.When they arrived, Stones and Salvation stood guard outside while Charlie Sr walked in with measured steps. He switched on the TV and saw Chloe being interviewed, and his eyes narrowed."Chloe Wendel, can you explain to our viewers why you believe Charlie Sr isn't the man he appears to be?" the interviewer asked.Charlie Sr's forehead creased in anger. "The biggest mistake I ever made was marrying Charlie," Chloe said, her voice dripping with falsehood. "He doesn't know how to take care of his wife, and he's incredibly unfaithful. He's even gotten another woman pregnant and has forced over a hundred women to have abo
After making up his mind, Charlie Sr left the hospital with his entourage and got into their cars to head to Celestial Hotel. Upon arrival, Charlie Sr instructed Salvation and Stones before striding towards the entrance.As he approached, an average-height man with a pot belly and an unkempt moustache ran towards him, bowing his head in greeting. "Welcome, Sir Charlie Sr. I am the manager of Celestial Hotel and have been instructed by Peter to lead you to the private room," the manager said.Charlie Sr nodded and followed the manager to the private room, where he was presented with a menu. However, Charlie Sr waved it away, stating that he had no intention of ordering anything. He was wary of the possibility of his drink being spiked.Charlie Sr sat quietly in the private room, feeling frustrated and betrayed. He stood up abruptly, his anger mounting as he thought about how Chloe had fooled him.Before he could make it to the door, it swung open and Chloe and Peter walked in. Peter's
Charlie Sr jumped to his feet, a look of shock on his face. Without a word, he rushed out of his son's hospital room and made his way to the elevator. Impatiently, he waited for it to descend to the ground floor, his mind racing with worry and fear.As soon as the elevator doors opened, Charlie Sr bolted out and rushed to the emergency ward. However, the door was tightly locked, leaving him to pace nervously outside for what felt like an eternity.Finally, after three long hours, Doctor Francis emerged from the ward, his face etched with concern. Charlie Sr hurried over to him and asked, "Doctor Francis, how is my son?"The doctor managed a small smile and replied, "He's stable for now. But there's something I need to discuss with you. Come to my office."Charlie Sr nodded and followed the doctor to his office. As they settled in, Doctor Francis spoke up. "Sir, I'm afraid your son has post-traumatic amnesia."Charlie Sr felt his heart sink at the news. He clenched his fists and asked
As the Presiding judge pounded the gavel, the courtroom fell into a hush."Attorney Hart," the judge called upon Charlie Sr's lawyer to proceed.Advancing towards the bench, Attorney Hart handed over the title deeds to the judge.Charlie Sr swore an oath and took his place in the witness box."These are the only assets that I possess," he stated firmly.The judge gave him a scrutinizing glare, then directed the plaintiff to share a copy of the title deeds with Chloe's lawyer.As soon as Chloe's attorney received a copy of the title deeds, he leapt to his feet and raised an objection."My Lord, it is implausible for an individual of Charlie Sr's stature to possess assets worth only two million dollars. This is inconceivable," he spoke in a deep tone.Attorney Hart responded with another piece of evidence, "My client's mother had already taken everything he inherited from Charlie Sr a few weeks ago. Whatever my client currently possesses was given to him by his mother."Peter's expressi
