What about me?Was I just another piece in his game..."Should I send these screenshots to Luke?" Wendy mused."He's probably already seen them."Luke was extremely private about his background. Seeing these screenshots would make him uncomfortable, like his secrets were being exposed."You know him better than me. If you say he's seen them, I won't bother!"Wendy teased, "Aren't you curious about what your future mother-in-law is like?""Luke and I are impossible now.""Sweetie...""Wendy, we're just not meant to be."He needs someone on his level as a wife, not someone average like me."Looks like Luke's going to have a hard time winning you back."I stayed silent."Stand your ground, don't forgive him too easily. I'll always be on your side."It was almost eleven. Worried about disturbing my rest, Wendy chatted a bit more before hanging up.I stared at the screenshots, examining them again carefully.Was Luke's birth mother abroad?Would she see the news about his e

The cat curled up quietly."Miss Middleton didn't seem to be lying. She's been around Young Mr. Walker for a while. If he had confessed and she liked him too, being young and passionate, they would've already been inseparable.""You just said that he was too reserved to express his feelings," Mrs. Walker said irritably."What I meant was, even if Young Mr. Walker likes Miss Middleton, she wouldn't know it.""As long as Luke cares about her, having her in my control means he won't dare act rashly. Whether she knows about his feelings doesn't matter.""What if she's not the one he likes?" David started the car. "She’s a close friend of Wendy Smith. If we push too hard and she confides in Wendy, someone with Wendy's temperament won't stand by quietly.""You think I'm afraid of some girl?""A girl who was once a top PR expert and knows how to sway public opinion."In today's digital age, once something hits the internet, it's hard to control."Sarah is useless! Married into the Sm

My words "Don't be scared" angered Jasmine's mother. "After all the bad things he's done, he's the one who's scared?""Until this matter is resolved, please don't attack him verbally."Though Jasmine's mother was already restraining herself, and I understood her protective instincts, I couldn't let her accuse Ian before we knew the truth."What's there to investigate?" The young teacher protested. "Jasmine's backpack was found at Ian's desk. When another student returned it to her desk, we heard firecrackers going off. Many students and teachers witnessed this.""If I remember correctly, these firecrackers only make noise when thrown hard against the ground. Which student found Jasmine's backpack, and who returned it?""Why are you asking this?""I suspect whoever returned the backpack knew about the firecrackers and deliberately dropped it hard on the desk.""The backpack was found at Ian's desk. How could the student returning it know about the firecrackers?""Because that

"I...""Mrs. Cornell, just be quiet!"The principal knew this couldn't be smoothed over and looked at Mrs. Cornell with disappointment."Principal, Paul—""Save it. The police will uncover the truth.""No wonder whenever parents asked to see security footage, we only saw it the first time," Jasmine's mother said angrily. "Every other time, you claimed the cameras were unplugged. You were destroying evidence.""Children learn from example. Paul learned bad behavior from Ian! This is the only time he did anything wrong!"Mrs. Cornell thought there was no evidence of Paul's previous misdeeds."You bought Paul a hamster," I said."No... no, I didn't," Mrs. Cornell stammered."Stop lying!" Jasmine's mother glared at her. "Do you keep frogs and mice at home too?""Who would keep those as pets?""So Paul caught them outside? A child might catch frogs, but mice would be harder. Do you have mouse traps at home?""Denying it won't help," said Jasmine's mother. "The police will be he

"I never said those things to Ian. He made it all up."Jasmine's mom snapped, "Now I see where your son learned to lie."Mrs. Cornell opened her mouth but had nothing to say. As she tried to leave, Jasmine's mom grabbed her arm. "You're not going anywhere until the police finish their investigation!""Not even to the bathroom?""I'll go with you."The principal looked troubled. From what I'd observed, she seemed decent - at least her apology had been sincere.Jasmine's mom watched vigilantly from the doorway.Mrs. Cornell stopped at the office where Paul was being questioned."Now she worries about her child? Why didn't she raise him properly before?""Jen, will Mrs. Cornell still teach us?""No. No kindergarten will hire her. You and Patricia will have a new teacher. Next time anything like this happens, tell Mr. Lloyd right away."Ian stayed quiet."It's Mr. Lloyd's first time being a father. We can be generous and forgive him this once," I said, gently pinching his cheek
