All three of them had a happy lunch at the restaurant and playground, especially Nora. Finn made her feel safe, and she finally let her playful side show.Selena saw this happening with Nora. She was filled with gratitude, and it warmed her heart. Selena had faced too much harshness in the past five years and suffered many injustices. No one had ever given her such warmth and security as Finn did.She looked up ahead on their way home, seeing Finn's tall and wide back. He was gently carrying Nora in his arms while Nora clasped her hands tightly around his neck. They were chatting and laughing while they walked, looking like a pair of father and daughter.She was touched by the sight and tears covered her face. Selena finally allowed herself to release her stress."What's wrong?" Finn stopped in surprise and asked her with concern."Mom, why are you crying? Was I naughty and made you cry?" Nora got anxious and struggled to get out of Finn's arms to reach Selena.Even though she
"I don't have a family like you. Don't ever think of separating me and Nora from now on." Selena hugged Nora tight in her arms with a look of hatred on her face. She could clearly sense Nora's fear. It was clear that what happened to Nora still scared and traumatized her."How are you going to survive without us? Are you going to depend on this gigolo?"Henry tsk-ed and sneered."It's none of your business. I have nothing to do with the Langs from now on."Selena carried Nora to go inside Billow River Loft."I'll make sure to get rid of this gigolo from your side and leave you with no one to depend on," George said. His tone was hard and filled with coldness.George's words made Selena stop in her steps. Her relationship with Finn was not what they thought. However, Finn was responsible for what she had right now. If Finn gave in to the Langs' threat, she would once again be left with no one to rely on.Selena turned to look at Finn at this thought."Don't worry, I won't leave.
It was the 80th birthday of the matriarch of the Somners.The Somners' residence in Creek Valley was decorated brightly with lights all around, and it was bustling with cheerful noises.It took only a short three years for the Somners, who used to be a third-rate family in Creek Valley, to become the most coveted family in the city. It was an astonishing feat no one expected.Finn Chapman was the son-in-law of the Somners. He was staring thoughtfully at a picture hanging in the middle of the hall. It was a picture of the Somners' patriarch, Byron Somner, who passed away three years ago.'Three years have passed, Mr. Somner Senior. According to our agreement, I've paid my debt to the Somners. I hope you won't blame me for taking back what the Somners owe me this time," Finn looked at the picture as he thought so in his heart.Three years ago, Finn met Byron before he passed away.Back then, the Somners were facing an internal conflict, and Byron had been worried that the Somners
The Somners could finally get rid of a burden like Finn. This was great news to them.Yvonne was the prettiest and smartest member of the Somners. She was considered a huge resource to the family.This was especially so when her new lover happened to be from a local influential family with a long history and strong background.The Somners were considered new money, and their standing in society was still considered weak. They had to join a strong family if they wanted to plant deeper roots in Creek Valley.Once Yvonne was single again, they would be able to do that through marriage and further strengthen the Somners' status.With Finn requesting a divorce, it was the best news for the Somners. Moreover, Finn did not ask anything of them, so the Somners would not suffer any losses.This was wonderful."You said it yourself, Finn!""There's no regretting this.""Sign the papers right now, Yvonne!"Every Somner began speaking at once.Yvonne was taken aback. She looked at the m
The Somners could not wait to greet Beyond Heaven.They did not dare to hang Beyond Heaven out to dry.A total of 28 tables were prepared for the celebration, and any person who had a seat at a table had at least a net worth of 50 million. Any lower than that and the person would not be able to attend the celebration.The Somners' entire courtyard was filled with guests.No matter how esteemed the guests were, the Somners knew that those guests could not compare to the ones about to arrive.Emma took the lead, and everyone else followed behind.Just then, a group of people entered the Somner residence's gates. The man in the lead was at least six foot two and stood tall. There was an impressive air about him. He had long flowing hair and looked like an upright man. There was a purple mark between his eyes.He was wearing a robe that was purple and black with an embroidery of an eagle flying among clouds on his left chest. 'We travel beyond heaven under the cloudy sky!' That
Finn felt the air get fresher after he left the Somner residence.He had suffered a lot during his time with the Somners in the last three years. However, he did manage to keep his promise."Please get in the car, Mr. Chapman."Thomas was standing behind Finn when a Rolls-Royce Phantom stopped in front of Finn. Finn said nothing and got straight into the car. Thomas closed the car door after Finn got in and climbed into the passenger seat. The rest of their men traveled in their own cars."What's the status of the two investigations I asked you to conduct? Are there any updates?" Finn looked out the window and asked.Finn was not concerned with the Somners at all. It would only take one word from him to destroy the Somner family. However, he did not want to destroy the Somners. All he wanted was payback for the last three years.His benefactor was the one who built up the Somner family name, after all. However, he knew what would happen to them after one month. Things were alread
Two families were gathered Inside the most expensive Sovereign Hall in the Rigart Hotel. One of them was Eli Kauffman and his family, who had a long history in Creek Valley. The other was George Lang and his family. He was the founder of Lang Corporation."We'll be family from now on, Eli!" George said with a laugh. He had a square face and big ears."It all depends on what Chet thinks," Eli said coolly while sipping tea.There was a good-looking young man seated next to Eli. It was his son, Chet. He was also Michael's older brother.Chet's gaze was focused on the woman seated opposite him.She was wearing a white dress and looked beautiful in it. Her skin was fair, and her eyes were like a pair of glimmering pearls. She was gorgeous.Lust flashed in Chet's eyes. This was a woman all men wanted. The only thing Chet did not like about her was the little girl in her arms.She was cowering in Selena's arms, glancing at the strangers surrounding her with a frightened look. Selen
Eli and Chet were still seated inside Sovereign Hall.They lit a cigarette each and looked at each other with a smile."Even though that woman is tainted, you shouldn't mind it, Chet. Men will always place their careers first. You know what I mean," Eli said coolly."Don't worry, Dad. I understand. I can have as many women as I want. Once the Langs become a resource of the Kauffmans, we'll be able to become one of the top five influential families soon." Chet's eyes were filled with wild ambition."Good." Eli was happy about this.Both his sons had done well. They knew how to make the best use of their advantages.It was especially true when it came to women, where they each had their own ways. Eli's second son, Michael, had gotten Yvonne eating from the palm of his hand. Once Yvonne got a divorce, the Kaufmans would be able to get the Somners' resources."Selena Lang is a gorgeous woman, though. She has a great body too. She's actually a very fine woman," Eli suddenly said.Ev
