Cole was a natural optimist but extended poverty had eroded his hope for a bright future. Therefore, suddenly moving into the villa was, for him, an unreal experience.“Cole, I’m going to return to you a piece of advice you once gave me, don’t dwell on the past. I promise you, things are only going to look up in our future. Anyway, let’s not waste any more time, let me show you your room.”“Okay!” Cole followed with a faint smile plastered on his face. His room was on the second floor. Like John’s, it was a spacious single bedroom. It came equipped with a large wardrobe and opposite it was a large study table. Sitting on top of it was a high-tech laptop, the model that he had always wanted!Cole ran towards it happily, asking, “Sis, is this for me?”Caroline nodded with a smile. “Do you like it?”“Of course! Sis, you’re so good to me, I like it, I like everything here very much.”“I’m glad.”“Sis, this must have cost you quite a bit, right?” Cole calmed down and asked. Other than the

The reason Andrew had placed the challenge was to woo 001 over to his company. He had some reservations about 001’s genius status but he truly believed he was a talent. And he refused to let any talent go to waste. With the Pierce Corporation’s name, he was sure 001 would accept the olive branch he extended. Andrew sat confidently waiting for 001 to say yes.To his surprise, 001 rejected him bluntly! Not interested! The reply said. Then 001 retreated from their conversation, completely cleaning his digital footprints. Andrew immediately tried tracing him but the trail was cold.Staring at the ‘Not Interested’ that appeared on his screen, Andrew’s mouth twitched with annoyance. Just how bad had his name become to receive so many rejections recently? However, he was surprised by this 001’s capability. He tried tracking his identity during their brief conversation but it was to no avail. This 001 might truly be a genius seeing as he could block all his advances.Furthermore, 001 had the

Before the two men left, they asked kindly, “Miss Roberts, are you sure you don’t want us to report this to the police? It’s better to bring in law enforcement when it comes to this kind of thing.”“I will personally go to the police station later, thank you so much for your help today. If there’s any way o can repay the two of you in the future, please don’t hesitate to come see me. I will not forget the kindness you’ve shown me today,” Caroline said seriously.The security officers laughed sheepishly. “It’s nothing, but if Miss Roberts needs any help in the future, don’t hesitate to approach us as well.”Caroline nodded and remembered in her heart the favor she was offered that day. Should the chance arise, she would definitely repay them the favor. The two men left in a hurry and Caroline waited at the hospital until Cole’s condition stabilized before she decided to return home.After some deliberations, Caroline resolved to come clean to John. She left out the part where Cole almo

She wouldn’t have done anything if Caroline would just go off to die in her own miserable corner. In other words, it was Caroline’s own fault for attracting her ire. Her vicious streak surfacing, Vicky said, “Mom, how do you think we should destroy Caroline? I want to see her on the floor begging us for mercy or my heart won’t rest well.” Alice replied with evil glee, “I say we have someone ruin her dignity!”But to them, Caroline was already an undignified hussy, how else were they going to ruin her dignity? Unless they were talking about her chaste woman’s dignity…Vicky smirked as she uttered, “Mom, I understand. I know what to do next.” The mother-daughter pair shared a look and the diabolical smiles on their faces were eerily similar. Vicky had one thing right.It was impossible for Caroline to rise to the top overnight, accumulation of wealth and reputation takes time. Furthermore, Caroline didn’t intend to solely rely on her power to rise again to the top. Alice still had her

Cole turned his head and answered with a smile, “Dad, you don’t get it, there’s something bigger at work here, I’ll explain it to you later.”“I still won’t get it even after you do…” John waved his hand dismissively and went into the living room to watch his tv series.Cole realized Caroline was still focused on cutting the vegetables, she didn’t even glance at his laptop’s screen. He was curious.“Sis, why are you not looking at this? It’s 5,000,000 dollars, did you not hear me?”Cole believed Caroline could definitely help McLean Corps solve this virus issue. Caroline had deified to a mythical status in his heart. For Cole, there was no computer related problem that she couldn’t handle. That was why his first reaction when he saw this thread was the thought, they had struck gold! After Caroline disarmed the virus, they would be 5,000,000 dollars richer!Caroline turned her head in a graceful arc and claimed rather unsatisfactorily, “Only 5,000,000 dollars?”“…” Cole said, “Sis, it’

Cole felt vindicated. At least he didn’t take the beating for nothing. They deserved whatever punishment his sister threw at them. Since Oliver McLean had raised the reward money, it was time for Caroline to take action. Using the username 001, she contacted McLean Corps, offering to help to take down the mysterious virus.Oliver took her bait instantly. He was actually overjoyed to see someone capable respond to his plea. He wanted Caroline to get rid of the virus immediately, and he would bank in the money when he saw the result. I’ll get back to you in two hours, was Caroline’s reply. “Sis, so you’re the famous 001!” Cole exclaimed when he peeked and saw Caroline’s username, “I heard a new hacker by the name 001 shook up the hacker’s world in Florida with their appearance, I had no idea that’s you!”Caroline didn’t feel the need to hide things from Cole so she readily admitted it. Cole suddenly felt a great sense of accomplishment and prestige.Like how one would feel when one’s c

It was a roundabout way of saying she didn’t care for Andrew. She wasn’t there to seduce him. Old Mrs Pierce was incensed by her snooty attitude. How dare she think that her son, Andrew, was not good enough for her?“I don’t care what your intention is in coming here today but I want you to remember this, you are not getting back with Andrew ever. And don’t you dare rope Ray into your sick plot or you won’t be spared from my wrath!”Ray’s plate fell to the floor with a resounding clink and cake was splattered all over his suit. It was a much needed diversion to truncate the increasingly awkward situation. Old Mrs Pierce quickly pulled Ray to her side, dabbing the stains on his clothes, saying, “Ray, what happened? Why so careless?”“Grandma…. Scary.” Ray looked at her with eyes that were slightly quavering with fear.Old Mrs Pierce realized with a start, her harsh words had startled the child. Her husband ordered with a low growl, “Take the child away for a change of clothes, or do yo
The billionaire’s muse Chapter Forty
Didn’t Young Master Pierce refer to Jenna as Auntie Jenna? Is he trying to embarrass Jenna who is standing right there? Does this mean the boy wants his parent to remarry? Then again, he is just a 4-year-old kid, he probably blurted the words out without first processing them through his mind.Is it not common for a young boy to wish for his parents to stay together? Maybe he already sees Jenna as his mother. After all, his wish didn’t mention anything about remarriage. However, he might be too young to understand the concept of marriage and divorce…. Regardless, this is all too interesting.Everyone watched with bated breath to see how things would unfold. Some in the crowd even came up with the thought, maybe it is not so bad for CEO Pierce to rekindle his marriage with his ex-wife. It was not that they looked down on Jenna. It was just… Andrew and Caroline looked too good together standing next to each other. Originally, before Caroline arrived, they felt the same way about Jenna

“Ray, where were you?” Old Mrs Pierce was the first to recover from the shock. She posed the question to salvage the strangely awkward situation. Still holding onto his parents’ hands, Ray lifted his head and answered sincerely, “Grandma, I saw mom outside.” Caroline’s heart trembled when she heard the word ‘mom’.Ray knew she was his mom…. He managed to recognize her with just one look. Caroline found it difficult to describe the bittersweet sensation that rose in her heart. Caroline felt the world fade away and she took in her son’s cute face hungrily, memorizing every detail, making up for lost time. She didn’t realize Andrew was staring at her intensely, an unreadable complication communicated through his eyes.He wasn’t expecting his ex-wife’s captivating arrival. He knew she was a beauty but only in the way like how a mannequin is beautiful, a pretty shell. But that night, her beauty came alive. If her beauty in the past was passive, like that of a beautiful mannequin on display

He wanted to spare her the nasty surprise. But he was too late, Caroline had already reached the ballroom’s entrance. More than a few people had seen her. Right then, an idea came into Raymond’s mind. He rushed forward to grab Caroline’s palm.A surprised Caroline looked down from the sudden touch, and a pair of similarly shaped eyes met! This was to be their first meeting after their separation three years ago. It was also in Raymond’s memory, the first time he had seen his mom. However, the mother-and-son bond is something so innate that Caroline was able to recognize him with just one look. She stared at her don who was holding her hand with absolute wonder and tears started glistening around her eyes.Her calm composure was shaken. She didn’t and couldn’t expect this would be how it went down. A boy would rush to take her hand and it would happen to be Raymond. Her precious son, Raymond!“CEO Pierce, we still can’t locate the young master!” The bodyguard approached Andrew and whi

“But he should know better, especially about the importance of this occasion.”“Mom, dad, can you two stop arguing? I need to go look for Ray,” Andrew interrupted them gruffly before leaving.Old Mrs Pierce and Mrs Pierce had no choice but to join the search effort as well. However, even after flipping over the whole ballroom, Raymond couldn’t be found.Very soon, every guest knew of the Pierce Family young master’s disappearance.“How did it happen?”“I heard it was because he played until he lost track of time and got lost.”“Didn’t I hear that the Pierce Family young master is a well behaved young man? Why would he pick such a time to act up?”“You know what they say, kids will be kids…”“My own son is his age and he knows better than to wander off at a time like this.”Jenna smiled smugly as all these words drifted to her ears. Raymond might be just a kid, but a kid from a wealthy family and one from a common family were treated differently. Raymond’s life was spent under a micros

“Miss Smith, that is so nice and thoughtful of you. But I fear my sister won’t be gracious enough to accept Miss Smith’s kindness.”“Why not?” Jenna said with a frown. If Caroline didn’t come, her plan would fail.Vicky lowered her voice and said with much difficulty, “Miss Smith, there should be no secrets between friends so please don’t look down on my family if I tell you this. My sister… hasn’t been her best self for the past few years, this type of setting is not suitable for her. She knows she’ll be a laughingstock if she accepts the invitation so she probably won’t come.”Jenna of course knew how bad Caroline’s current situation was. Naturally, she didn’t say that but sighed regrettably.“But it’s not like we invited her because we want her to be made fun of. As you know, Ray hasn’t seen his mom for so many years…”“Miss Smith, I understand and appreciate your kindness, in fact you’re the kindest person I’ve ever known, but I don’t think that Caroline would have the face to att
