Dahlia was afraid Raquel would overthink. So, she explained, "You've done everything well. I like you a lot. Why would I fire you? "Oh, there's one area you don't seem to do well in. You don't seem to give yourself enough rest!"Raquel's eyes turned red. She sat beside the bed and began to cry. "Madam Emerson, you scared me. I thought you wanted to fire me. This job is really important to me."Dahlia smiled kindly. She looked at Raquel and patted her on the shoulders. Dahlia said softly, "You're a good kid. I won't fire you. Why don't you give my son a call?"I'll ask him to accompany me for the night while you return home and rest for the night."Raquel began to shake as she wiped away her tears. "Madam Emerson, Austin is very busy. He hired me to take care of you. How can I call him here while I return home to sleep?""Alright then. However, you should listen to me. Have a good rest at night. There's no need to wake up the second I move."As Dahlia spoke, her expression
Nancy winced as she looked at Urma with a dumbfounded expression."Mom, regarding the engagement party, I had already discussed things with Susie beforehand!" Nancy said with a hurt tone.The incident during the engagement party had thoroughly humiliated the Welch family. Nancy had explained herself countless times while enduring Urma's blame."You're still lying to me!"Urma was so angry that her breathing became haggard. She said angrily, "Susie comes from a good background. Are you saying she purposefully made a scene during the party?""Nancy, what are you trying to say?" Harvey also felt frustrated and began to rise. Harvey continued, "I know what type of person Susie is. She would never do such a thing."Nancy's body began to tremble as tears pooled in her eyes.She sounded like she was about to cry when she said, "Who won't you all believe me? Mom, aren't I your daughter?"Urma's face turned red as she put a hand over her chest. "I'm focusing on the issue at hand
Urma seemed to have thought of something as she turned to look at Harvey. "Harvey, Susie must have been troubled after the engagement party. Did you talk things through with her?""Mom, Susie has been ignoring me for the past two days. I went to her house to send her to work, but she refused to get in my car. She won't even speak to me."Harvey's face turned red as his expression morphed into anxiousness."Oh no …"Urma looked at the ceiling and sighed. "If it weren't for Nancy, that brat, messing around, none of this would have happened. We could have managed to scrape together 100 thousand dollars."Urma's words caused Harvey to think of Susie.He suddenly remembered Susie had shouted at him. She had claimed that Austin was wealthy. She had even asked him to ask Austin for money.Then, he forced Nancy to settle his problem. Why didn't she talk to Austin? Why did she look for Susie instead?The thought of it made his anger grow. He stamped his feet harshly and said, "Mom, Da
Raquel did not intend to dodge as she faced Harvey's swinging fists. She used to be a national-level boxing athlete.She was not afraid of a fistfight.Not to mention, she would be in the same weight group as Harvey.With a quick move to the side, Raquel dodged Harvey's fist.She lowered her body and swung her fist. Bang!She punched Harvey in the stomach.Harvey shouted in pain as he held his stomach and took three steps back. Then, he squatted down on the floor.Raquel's actions had been sharp and precise.Raquel stood up and arranged her hair. She smiled with contempt and said, "Back then, I could have fought with ten of you!" "You motherfu—"Harvey held his stomach. He wanted to shout at her, but he felt like someone was twisting his intestines together. He was in so much pain that he could not speak.He never thought a woman like Raquel would be able to knock him down with a single punch. "Now, get the fuck out of here!"Raquel grabbed Harvey by the collar and t
Raquel's violent actions shocked everyone there."Get out! I told you to get the fuck out!"Raquel pushed Harvey in the chest.Dahlia could not get upset. If Harvey continued to make a scene, the consequences might be dire.Raquel turned around to see Dahlia crying and trembling. She quickly ran up to Dahlia to comfort her."Madam Emerson, it's alright. I'm here now. Nothing will happen to you!""What can you do? You're just a caregiver!" Harvey shouted angrily.He had always been spoilt as a kid. Now that he had finally seen through Austin's "facade", he wanted to demand answers.He could not stand being treated like that."Stop making a scene. Madam Emerson can't get too upset. You're just hurting her." Raquel pleaded."Hurting her? Her death will have nothing to do with me!"Harvey waved his hand. "You and your son come from the countryside. You tried to mooch off my family. "Your bastard of a son nearly used up our family's wealth to save your stupid life. Doesn't he f
Isaac's words shocked everyone present.They never thought Harvey, who complained against injustice, would have done such a thing.Instantly, all of the judgment and pointed looks fell on Harvey.Harvey's face turned red as he became speechless.He glared at Raquel harshly before turning to leave.Raquel hurriedly entered Dahlia's ward. She gently patted Dahlia's back as she comforted her. "Madam Emerson, you need to be more careful of your health. I'll go and inform Austin about what had happened."Dahlia stopped Raquel. Dahlia took a deep breath and said, "Don't. Don't tell him anything. I-I'm fine.""But …" Raquel was hesitant.Dahlia shook her head. "Austin is working too hard. There's no need to alarm him about what happened.Then, Isaac entered the ward. He frowned as he looked at Dahlia with concern. "Mrs. Emerson, I need to run a few tests on you. I'll help you keep this incident a secret from Mr. Campbell after ensuring you're healthy."Harvey rushed back to Ur
"That's enough, Harv!"Nancy gritted her teeth, sounding aggrieved. "I know you want to get married as soon as possible. Let me handle Austin. "You should just relax and take care of Mom. Don't tell Mom and Dad about this. I don't want to get them to work up over this."Then, she turned around to leave.Harvey still looked angry. "Handle this? If you could handle it, why would you choose to trick Susie? Our family would not be in such a bad place if you could handle it."However, Nancy had already left and did not hear Harvey's words.…Back at Dominion Properties, Austin had been busy with work.The west city slum redevelopment project had his full attention.Although he had settled the problem with the extravagant cost of the proposal, he still had a lot of things to do.He had to start with the construction and pre-sales as soon as possible!The project would only stabilize itself when money flowed into his account.Only then would he be able to meet his father.Ding
After running multiple tests, it was clear that Dahlia was still in good shape.However, Raquel and Isaac were still worried about her.When Austin arrived at the hospital at night, neither Raquel nor Dahlia mentioned the incident.As a mother, she felt sorry for her son.Dahlia knew how hard Austin was working. She didn't want to burden him any further.Raquel came close to mentioning it as she looked at Austin. However, Dahlia's words caused her to hold it in."Austin, you seem exhausted recently."Dahlia looked at her son and felt her heart break. Her eyes turned slightly red.Her surgery and Austin's divorce had all happened within a month.Both issues were enough to make a normal person fall under heavy pressure.Not to mention, Austin was shouldering the burden alone. He was also busy working hard to pay her extensive medical bills."Mom, I'm alright."Austin smiled. His mother's health was slowly improving with each day, lessening the burden in his heart.As for bei
