“What? You said that you saw them being touchy with each other in the corridor?” Mrs. Neal asked Sydney, who had broken down into tears, with shock on her face.Sydney wiped away her tears and said in a choked voice, “Yes, they were standing in the corridor of the hotel. There was nobody around them. I saw Eugene refusing to let go of her… I didn’t misunderstand them at all. They really do have something going on between them!” “How treacherous! She’s shameless. She’s way too shameless!” Mrs. Neal shouted angrily. “And she’s a woman with a boyfriend! I didn’t wrongly accuse her. She’s a treacherous b*tch!” Mrs. Neal was beyond outraged. “This won’t do. I’ll go to her company tomorrow to cause a scene!” Sydney held her mother back at once after hearing her. “No, Eugene has already warned you once. You can’t cause a ruckus at her company anymore.” “She’s about to snatch your husband away. Can’t I make some noise at her company?” “Eugene will be unhappy. He’s still unwilli
...Rue went to school and got off school on time.She walked out of the school after classes ended. While she was waiting for her mother to fetch her, someone walked toward her. “Rue, come over.” Mrs. Neal waved at her. Rue knew her. Although she found it odd that Mrs. Neal was at her school, she still walked over. “What’s wrong?” she asked. Mrs. Neal smiled at her and asked, “Do you know that your father hasn’t been home in a long time? He’s been staying at the company.” Rue shook her head. “I didn’t know about that. I’ve been staying with my mother recently.” “Does Aunt Sydney treat you well?” Mrs. Neal asked. Rue nodded and said, “Yes, Aunt Sydney has always treated me pretty well.” “Then shouldn’t you help her out?” Mrs. Neal requested straight away. Rue was filled with confusion. “How should I help her?” “It’s simple. You just need to follow me back, call your father, and tell him to come home.” Rue frowned. Were they planning to use her as an e
“This girl has been raised like a princess since she was born. She’s definitely of high quality. I just need you guys to guarantee that nobody will ever find her.” Mrs. Neal wanted to help her daughter get rid of this obstacle once and for all. The human trafficker patted his chest and said, “Don’t worry about that. She won’t be able to leave the place that we’ll be sending her to.” “Alright, then I’ll hand her to you guys.” Mrs. Neal looked at Rue, who had fainted. She did not hesitate at all. She simply wanted the kid to vanish as soon as possible. Mrs. Neal received the money and watched as the human traffickers brought her away. She then got in the car and left in a hurry. As long as this child was gone, Eugene would definitely have a child with Sydney so that the Newton household would have an heir! Fern did not manage to fetch her daughter after arriving at the school. She asked her teacher about it. The teacher simply told her that Rue left after school ended.
“Didn’t you take Rue away?” Fern panicked even more after registering his words. “Rue moved to your place not long after you returned to the country. If she doesn’t want to come back, would I bring her back by force?” Eugene asked coldly. Suddenly, he realized the problem. He fixed his gaze on her and asked, “What’s wrong? Rue is missing?” Fern’s heart tightened. “I went to the school to fetch her today, but I couldn’t find her. She isn’t picking up her phone as well. I thought that you…” Before she could finish speaking, she changed the topic. “If you didn’t take her away, did the old master take her?” Eugene understood her concern right away. It was reasonable for her to suspect that the old master had brought Rue away. He said coldly, “I’ll call him and ask him about it.” He took his phone and dialed the old master’s number. At the same time, he turned around and walked toward the sofa. “Grandfather, is Rue with you?” “She’s not there?” Before he could ask anything els
Old Master Newton sat down with a rigid expression on his face. He glanced at them coldly and said, “Didn’t I tell you on the phone? Rue isn’t here with me.” “Grandfather, this isn’t something to be joked about.” Eugene was not in the mood to joke about Rue. The old master’s expression hardened as he sneered. “What’s wrong? Do I look like I’m joking right now? Do you think that I’m so free to the extent that I hid Rue on purpose to make both of you panic?” Noticing that both of them were about to argue, Fern spoke up, “Old Master Newton, we’re panicking because we can’t find Rue. We came over to ask you if she’s here. Please be considerate of how we’re feeling as her parents.” The old master huffed coldly and said, “Rue is missing, but you guys came here to look for her instead of calling the police or sending people to look for her?” “Is Rue really not with you?” Eugene wanted to confirm things. The old master was outraged. “If you’re suspecting me, you’re welcome to
Rue instinctively curled up. “Who… Who are you?” “Me?” The woman guffawed loudly. “I’m your future mother-in-law. You’re now my little daughter-in-law. After a year or two, you’ll be getting married to Hound. When the time comes, you’ll have to give birth to a few plump kids for our family, alright?” Rue’s heart lurched in shock. Had she become the child bride of this family?“I’m still so young. How can I get married, let alone give birth to children?!” She was still a child herself.The woman’s expression changed after hearing her words. “After a year or two, you’ll no longer be young anymore. Back then, I gave birth to Hound when I was 13 or 14 years old. Besides, we spent most of our money buying you so that you’ll be our family’s daughter-in-law. You must bear us children.” Rue’s small body trembled in fear. “Who sold me to you guys? Do you guys need money? My parents have money. Let me go and I’ll give you a large sum of money.” “Money? We need money, but we need a
“President Eugene, we’ve looked through the surveillance footage from the school entrance and it seems like your mother-in-law brought the young miss away,” Wyatt said. Eugene’s gaze darkened. “It was her?” “Her? Why did she bring Rue away?” Fern instantly began to panic. Did Mrs. Neal intend to use Rue to threaten her because her previous tactics did not work against her? “Where’s she? I want to see her right now!” She wanted to look for Mrs. Neal at once. Wyatt said, “She’s at home with Ma’am.” Fern could no longer wait. She turned around and proceeded to head toward Eugene’s villa at once. “Wait,” Eugene called out after her. “Follow me,” he said in a low voice. After that, he took large strides and walked in front of her. After being momentarily stunned, Fern followed him. Was he afraid that she would make things difficult for his mother-in-law? Sydney was in her room. She lowered her voice and asked her mother in a distracted manner, “Mom, did you really send t
Mrs. Neal was shocked by Eugene’s cold and hostile stance. She stuttered, “She… wasn’t willing to come back and insisted on getting down. It’s not like I could force her to come back.” “She’s missing now. If anything happens to her, I’ll make you pay for it!” Eugene’s eyes and brows were overcast. There was a murderous glint in his gaze. When he loosened his hold on her, she felt her legs turn to jelly. She almost fell down, but Sydney supported her just in time. “Eugene, what are you doing? My mother did it for our sake. She just wanted the child to help out—” “Rue isn’t involved in anything that happened between us!” Eugene glared at the mother and daughter coldly. His voice turned icier than it was before. He stared at Mrs. Neal and said, “You’d better be telling the truth!” After that, he grabbed Fern’s arm and left. “Eugene…” Sydney’s face paled. Did he come back just for Rue? “Let him look for the child.” Mrs. Neal held her daughter back. Although she was still sha
