Mavis stood up calmly and walked toward Bella with her chest puffed. Bella trembled and did not dare to move. She gritted her teeth and said, "Ms. Laviere, don't go too far! What do you want to do?" Mavis narrowed her eyes and replied, "Ms. Sloan, it's not what I want, but what you want." In Mavis' eyes, Bella was nothing more than an obedient puppy. If the puppy was behaving, she would reward her with snacks. If the puppy went against her wishes, she would give it up without a second thought. If it were not for the fact that Bella had helped her out a few times, she would not have even bothered befriending her. Bella yelled, "Mavis, don't think that I’ll be afraid of you just because you have something on me! It is what it is now. I'm not afraid of spilling! It’s okay for my reputation to be ruined, but Ms. Laviere, what about you? You’re all high and mighty in the company. If I tell the truth, do you think that people would still respect you?" "Oh?
Bella knew that Bianca was kind and the CEO was obsessed with her. As long as she could put in a good word for her, then she still had a chance. Bella had always acted high and mighty in front of Bianca. She was too proud to beg a woman she once looked down on. However, she had no choice but to beg Bianca under such circumstances. Bianca stared at Bella and said coldly, "All this was determined by the Education Bureau. I have no right to interfere." Bella’s makeup was melting from all the crying. She looked extremely miserable as she said, “You can still interfere! As long as you’re willing to forgive me and say a few good words in front of the CEO... Bianca, please forgive me. I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life..." "Ms. Sloan, I think you have to wake up to reality. There’s solid evidence and witness statements. Nothing I do can change the decision made," Bianca replied calmly. Besides, even if she could help Bella, she would not do th
Bianca was in a great mood because justice was on her side and all charges against her were dropped. She decided to cook dinner for Luke to celebrate. "I'll help you. You shouldn’t do it alone." Luke wanted to help wash the vegetables. However, Bianca ushered him to the study as she said, "Go get some work done. I can manage in the kitchen. Granny Florence will help. Don't get in the way." She knew that Luke had a lot of work backlogged because he had taken a day off to spend time with her. Although she was with child, Bianca was still physically active and capable. Besides, there was a caretaker to help her out, so there was no need for so many people to be in the kitchen. Luke was shoved into the study by Bianca. He shook his head helplessly as if he was abandoned... Bianca changed into comfortable maternity home clothes and started cooking. Granny Florence was right beside her helping out. Luke was not a fan of drinking milk but loved milk jel
In a blink of an eye, it was Saturday. Saturday was when Wanda and Bianca had agreed to meet in the hospital. Luke had something to attend to and could not accompany Bianca to the hospital, so he asked Zander to drive Bianca to the hospital instead. Luke instructed Bianca to take pictures of the report and send it to him when the check-up was completed. As soon as she arrived at the hospital, Bianca received a call from her aunt, saying that she was in Building 6, Room 606. Wanda told her to go to the specialist’s outpatient room. Bianca walked toward Building 6 but when she got to the front lawn of the hospital, she saw Queenie Zeigler dressed in a business suit. Queenie was clutching her chest with a frown as she hurried to the outpatient room. Queenie did not notice her and disappeared around the corner in a blink of an eye. Bianca wanted to say hello to her but it was too late.Bianca frowned and was worried about Mrs. Norman. Was she s
Bianca glanced at Queenie after hearing what the nurse said. She smiled and explained, "You got it wrong. She's Mrs. Norman. We're not mother and daughter..."The young nurse pulled the needle out of Queenie's arm and said somewhat awkwardly, "Oh, sorry, but you look so similar I mistook you for mother and daughter..."Bianca smiled and thought nothing of it.However, Queenie, who was beside her, became stiff.She glanced meaningfully at Bianca and wondered why people who met her and Bianca for the first time all mistook them for a pair of mother and daughter.'Shakira said this when she first met Bianca. Even the young nurse who’s drawing the blood said the same.‘Could we really be mother and daughter?'A bold guess came to Queenie's mind.However, she quickly shook her head in denial.Many people looked alike in this world. How could they have mistaken them as mother and daughter just because they were similar in appearance?If they followed this fallacy, with so many simi
With mixed feelings, Wanda grabbed Bianca's blood test report and read it several times.When she saw Bianca's blood type clearly labeled ‘type O’, her hand shook a little as she clutched the paper."Aunt Wanda, are you okay? Is there a problem?" Bianca sensed something was wrong with Wanda and walked up to read the report with her a little nervously."No... Nothing..." Wanda tried hard to control her emotions. "Kirby, the hospital's blood tests can't be wrong, can they?"Kirby irritatedly rolled her eyes at Wanda as she rearranged the medical records on her desk. She said rather proudly, "Wanda, our hospital has never had a single medical error."Wanda closed her eyes and tried to remember the incident more than 20 years ago....More than 20 years ago, she was studying in Japan to pursue her dream.As she knew her family was poor, aside from attending classes, she also did odd jobs to earn her tuition fees and living expenses.One day, she received a letter from her elder br
Over on the other side.Leia was sleeping amid a pile of stuffed dolls in the cozily decorated room, her body kicking and thrashing in various contorted positions."Ah! Snakes! Help!"Her eyes instantly opened, her pupils wide and filled with horror.She dreamed of countless snakes coiling around her neck, choking her. Some of them opened their mouths to tear her to pieces!The maid, who was cleaning, heard Leia's screams. She immediately put down the vacuum cleaner, wanting to run to Leia's room to check on her.However, a figure in high heels dashed straight into Leia's room faster than her!Queenie unlocked the door from the outside and took Leia, who was in bed, into her arms. "Leia, did you have another nightmare? Mom's here. Good girl, don't be afraid..."Leia nestled in Queenie's arms. "Mom, I'm so scared. Now that my career and reputation are gone, I'm even afraid to go outside. Is my life over?"Queenie wiped her tears with a broken heart and gently chided her, "Nonse
Queenie jumped off her seat like a spring.She looked at Shakira. Her expression changed, and she asked excitedly, "Is... Is that true? But why didn't Ol’ Norman and I find anything useful when we looked into it?"Shakira poured Queenie a glass of water and asked her to sit down.She speculated, "Did someone delete Vyen's profile because they didn't want you to find anything out? It must be that Allison woman... My husband works at customs, so I pulled some strings and checked Vyen’s recent immigration records. She has been living abroad for more than 20 years and is now a naturalized foreign citizen. I heard she came back to A City to visit her relatives."Queenie muttered, "Vyen went abroad more than 20 years ago? Shakira, is Vyen still in A City? I want to go look for her now!"As she spoke, Queenie grabbed her car keys, dragged Shakira along, and was about to hurry out.Shakira stopped her in time and advised petulantly, "Queen, are you out of your mind? Vyen has already left
