The mental institution that could only be reached after a lengthy two-hour drive turned out to be nothing less than a remote and night-deserted place.Jeanette never thought this was what her father deemed fit for Juliana—a building so decrepit it bordered on being abandoned. There were plenty of mental institutions and rehabs surrounded by idyllic landscape and picturesque sceneries nearby, and yet this one was small, outfitted with run-down buildings and an entrance so dilapidated, the paint

“You’re as illegitimate as they come, Jeanette. And now, ooh, Grace’s son is an illegitimate bast*rd himself! You two are practically two peas in a pod already, aren’t you? I wonder… Now that he’s finally got a son on his own, will Magnus still hand his fortune to you?”Jeanette sneered. “Sorry to disappoint you, but I never wanted any of the Leightons’ fortune anyway.”“Pfft. Everybody can moralize loftily like that when they are privileged enough.”“I really don’t. So let my mother go, and

The waiting time for the operation was long and filled with anxiety. Jeanette wasn’t sure how she managed to maintain one action for so long.Damon would either receive calls from time to time from a subordinate. The police had arrived at the rehabilitation center and apprehended Juliana.However, due to her history of mental illness, it would be difficult for the court to issue a heavy sentence.“Don’t worry. Even if she feigns mental illness to escape justice, I’ll make sure that she spends the rest of her life in a living hell.”Jeanette closed her eyes and silently wept. She wasn’t in the mood to think about what the law would do to that criminal. All she wanted was for her mother to be safe.At that moment, she realized that she was just like any other person. She had the simplest wish. All she wanted was to see evil brought to justice and for good people to receive kindness in return.Unfortunately, God was not always fair.The emergency room door finally opened after some

Lucia attentively served him a cup of coffee and some dessert. She was about to walk out when Damon stopped her.“Do you need anything else, sir?”“You’ve been transferred to Leighton Inc. for quite a while now. Could you give me more details on Leighton Inc.’s current situation?”Lucia used to work for the Godfrey Group. Thus, she naturally complied with Damon and quickly told Damon everything she had seen and heard over the past few days.Some of her descriptions were pretty close to the things he had heard. However, the internal employees would have a better knowledge of certain details. After listening to Lucia’s description, he found out that Leighton Inc. was really a big umbrella that hid many unpredictable things.Damon was suddenly hit with regret. Maybe he shouldn’t have rushed to make Jeanette take over Leighton Inc. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been put in so many predicaments.However, Lucia said, “Jeanette may have complained about those conceited directors in secre

“Mom!”Jeanette awoke, screaming.When she woke up, she realized that she was in her bedroom in the Godfrey home. Her son was leaning on the side of the bed, staring at her anxiously.She pulled Felix into her arms and held him tightly, refusing to let go.‘It was all a dream. It must’ve all been a dream.‘See, I’m not in the hospital at all. I’m home. Nothing happened.’“Mommy, I can’t breathe!” Felix was gasping from suffocation.She quickly released him.“Mommy, are you alright?” Felix stared worriedly at her.“I… I’m fine.”“Daddy said that he had to leave the house for a while. He was afraid that you’d be sad when you woke up, so I’ve been sitting with you all this time.”Felix took Jeanette’s hand. He even gave her a piece of tissue paper, worried that his mother would cry.His eyes were red too. It was clear that he had been crying before she awoke. However, he was a little man. He couldn’t let himself cry so easily.“Where’s daddy?” Jeanette asked him.“Daddy said
