"How dare you!" Carmen threatened Hilda, "My dad is having this family banquet specifically for you and brother in law, and so you have to attend! You are a member of the Adams Family. Even if you are married, you are still my dad's daughter. You are not filial if you don't show up!"Mr. Adams deliberately organized a family banquet for Hilda and her husband. He was obviously not interested nor sincere in wanting to acknowledge Hilda as his adopted daughter. Instead, he merely wanted her assets. Hence, not only did he want to lure Hilda's husband out, he wanted to announce to the world that Hilda was his daughter.When my old son in law drops dead, I can justify taking in Hilda. With that, l will conveniently take over his inheritance.From what I've learned from Rex, my old son in law is extremely wealthy. In fact, he is much wealthier than the Adams. He is so wealthy that it's beyond imagination.Within a day, Mr. Adams used all his connections but he just couldn't find out whom Hil
Hilda walked away after saying that.Carmen had no choice but to retreat, whereas Hilda got to continue walking to her office.After work, Hilda received a sudden unexpected visitor when she was about to leave her office.It turned out to be Anthony.After arriving at the office and chatting for a while about business and others, Hilda ask for them to leave as it was getting late.However, Anthony asked her suddenly, "Hilda, do you need me to help you apply for legal aid? I know a few well known people in the legal profession in Taadi City."Hilda gazed at him in puzzlement.Why would I apply for legal aid out of the blue?Anthony hesitated before explaining, "I heard your father nearly sold you off and that pushed you to an old and ugly man. This is not legal in the eyes of the law. If you are ready, I can get someone to help you with your divorce."Ah, he's referring to this matter.Hilda had the urge to burst out laughing.She answered him, "Thank you, Anthony, but I have a good re
As long as my son in law shows up, his large inheritance will be mine.Hilda took a few steps backward and cautiously regarded Mr. Adams. "Head home? Which home are we going to?"Just then, a few people exited the car. It turned out to be Carmen with Daniel, who came along to join the fun. Carmen hugged her arms while observing the turn of events and gloated, "Hilda, of course we are heading back to the Adams residence. Quick, get into the car and leave with us. Dad prepared a large banquet for you tonight just to welcome you home. Our friends and families are all present and we are all waiting for you."Even so, Hilda was adamant with her decision and firmly rejected them. "I am sorry, but I am not interested in the Adams Family banquet."However, Mr. Adams was not here to ask for her permission. Another two burly men exited the car from the other side to surround Hilda. They looked like two large mountains who could single handedly pick her up without any effort.Hilda kept retreati
Hilda was sleeping peacefully but her phone was on beside the bed. Nathan glanced at the phone and came across the said picture. He then listened to the voice message that Rex sent to Hilda while perusing through their previous chat history.Rex is not holding back and doing everything that he can to drive a wedge between us!After listening to the voice messages, Nathan sighed quietly. "Silly fellow."It has been such a long time since I slapped him. Looks like he needs a beating.He crouched down to pat Hilda's head. But she was fast asleep so she couldn't feel anything.Nathan then proceeded to go to the toilet to prepare for bed. Nathan continued to brush his teeth while staring at her as she was sound asleep.She is such a cutie! The longer I am with her, the more adorable she looks! She is the cutest in the universe!It was already 2AM by the time he was done with his shower and he needed to wake up early the next morning. He had the urge to make a move on her, but he refrained
Mr. Adams immediately smacked the table and retorted, "Mr. Policeman, look at that! The unknown man has tortured my daughter until she doesn't have the courage to speak the truth. My daughter has suffered over the years. In fact, she has never brought her husband home after getting married. My son in law must have been torturing her! You should summon her husband and confront him if you don't believe me!"The police officer looked at Hilda before turning to Mr. Adams. Finally, he stared back at Hilda and instructed her. "Get your husband here to see if he checks out"Hilda glanced at Mr. Adams and turned to make a phone call.Once he noticed that she was making the phone call, he waited pleasantly for his son in law.After the phone call, she waited for Gasper to sort it out. Usually for such a small matter, Gasper would be able to handle it and there won't be any need to involve Nathan at all.Mr. Adams wants to know about Nathan's identity, but l will deny him that satisfaction! Bes
Due to the farce today where the police escorted Hilda away from the office, she couldn't be bothered to head back. Therefore, she followed Nathan for lunch while carrying her bag.While they were having their meal in the restaurant, she suddenly received a voice message from Rex via Messenger.She pressed the button to listen to it in front of Nathan. They both suddenly heard Rex's cries from the other end of the line. "Hilda, are you insane? Why did you let Nathan beat me up?""I am beaten to a pulp now! I was kind enough to reveal the true colors of that playboy of yours. Not only are you not grateful to me, but you had me beaten up so badly! You are done for the rest of your life! Let him cheat on you for the rest of your life! I'm telling you, Nathan Clemon was with Briana for the entire night. They are about to reconcile soon and you will be chased out of the house. You better pray for yourself! Don't run to me in tears when the time comes!"After listening to the audio recordi
In the office, Hilda switched on the computer and had a look at the time.I'm already late. The workers don't like lateness. I think I'll just miss this one. How nice it is to go home and see my idol!The floor was almost empty since it was still working ours, so there were only a few people left in the office halls.After she exited the office, she went into the restroom while carrying her bag. She wanted to head to the toilet before going home.As she was out of her office, she was using her subordinates washroom. There was almost no one in the women's toilet and the lights inside were broken, but no one had repaired them, leaving them to continuously flicker.The moment she entered, there was no one inside, making it an eerily silent place.The weather was dark and there was a tree outside the toilet window. She furrowed her brows while using her cellphone as a flashlight.Once she was done, she came out of the cubicle to wash her hands. She saw that the door to the restroom was cl
Therefore, the Hex's sudden tattoo was even more conspicuous.Hilda's whole body froze while tears continued to pour due to the pain. It's so painful. When the Hex inked that print on her skin earlier, there was a thing that seemed to have quickly carved something on her flesh. Then, he used a high temperature to sterilize the wound, leaving a mark.Now that he had imprinted a mark, it had caused the pain to maximize, as if he tore off her skin alive.After that, Hex's voice rang beside her ears again. "Now is not the time. When the time is right, I will come to look for you. I want to bring you away from here forever.""No-"Hilda's words had been blocked by his hand. The one covering her mouth to prevent her from making any sound. She could only look at the seductive yet dark HEX tattoo imprinted on her shoulder.The desperation and powerlessness that she felt caused two helpless tears to fall from her eyes onto Hex's gloves.He then greedily kissed the side of her face as his cold
