Michael’s appearance made Christina’s heart stop. “What is he doing here?”Sean instinctively turned his head and saw Michael. Reaching his hand out, he grabbed Christina’s hand to calm her down.Michael was fuming by now. How brazen that punk was to hold Christina’s hand in front of him! Did Sean think that Michael was dead?Fury raged underneath his chest, and the only thing that he wanted to do was to bash Sean up. That way, Sean would stay away from Christina. Nobody could touch his Christina.No matter how impulsive he was, Micheal tried to push down his thoughts and faced reality. There was no way he could do that in front of Christina. After all, he did not want to make Christina think that he was an unreasonable punk. With that in mind, Michael made his way toward the riverside. “Good mood today, President Young?”Animosity could be heard in his voice behind that cheerful smile plastered on his face.Sean ignored the hostility in Michael’s eyes. “Are you here to check on
Sean and Michael were soon engaged in a battle of words. Christina stood next to Sean as the trio confronted each other.At that moment, Travis spotted a butterfly fluttering around the grass. Attracted by it, he walked to the shore barefooted, kicking his legs around as he chased after the butterfly.On the other hand, Michael only had his eyes on Christina and Sean. Seeing that he had not noticed Travis’ disappearance, Christina let out a sigh of relief. “Your clothes are wet, Sean. Come, let’s get out of the water.”Nodding his head, Sean held her hand as they walked to the shore. Putting on their shoes, Sean did not forget to cast Michael a murderous glance along the way. “Your wedding ceremony would certainly be an interesting event, President Larson. Don’t forget to send me your wedding invitation, okay? Can’t wait for it!”Seeing how deflated Michael looked, Christina felt happiness vibrate deep in her bones. Putting on her shoes, she took a glance at Travis and reminded S
“Yes!” came the assistant’s swift reply. It was a known fact that women tended to succumb to jealousy easily. Little did he know that a jealous man was way scarier than a jealous woman. It was a swift end to President Larson’s problems. Not only would it put an end to Matthew Henderson’s affection toward Christina, but it would also put Sean in trouble too. That was how you killed two birds with a stone, and the assistant silently admitted the brilliance of the plan.After ending the phone call, Michael rubbed his temples as the tightness in his chest faded a little. He did not believe that Old Madam Young would do nothing if she knew that her precious grandson was associating with Christina.Back then, Old Madam Young had gone through bad means in order to break Christina and Sean up. Michael did not believe that she would watch all her effort go down the drain and give the lovers her blessing. If she had done something like that back then, what more now?As for Matthew, Michael
“You’ve done enough for us, Sean. We owe you too much already. Moreover, Travis and I have been separated for such a long time. I’ve already made up my mind to keep him next to me no matter what it takes.”Christina was very determined. Back then, she had given Sean the custody to look over Travis because she was unable to take care of her son. Things were different now. She finally had a stable job and a pay that could give Travis a good life. She did not have to be separated from her son anymore. “I know that you don’t want to separate from Travis, but you’ve got to think of the big picture. If Michael Larson finds out that Travis is his son, he’ll definitely do whatever it takes to grab him away from you. You can’t win against the Larsons.”“I won’t let him find out about Travis’ background. Everything from Travis’ birthdate to his identity is fake. Even if he does look into it, the only logical explanation he can come up with is that I got pregnant three months after the divorc
Sean shook his head. “You’ve never changed that bad habit of yours. You still take revenge on others, just like the old days.”Matthew glared at him. “Can you blame me? It’s Michael Larson’s fault for pissing me off! It’s not like I can ignore him if he keeps ruining my plans!”“What I mean is don’t be such an impulsive person. Do you want to be a strong opponent or an easy one?” Sean rebutted.“I’m forced to do this, okay? I can’t let things go on like this!” Matthew’s face turned sour. “Sean, can you tell your grandma that I have no feelings toward Rachel Young at all?”“Do you know how sad Rachel will be if she hears this? You have to be responsible for what you did to her.” Sean joked.“What the f*ck did I do to her? Till today, I’ve never laid a single finger on her. She’s the one following me wherever I go, okay?” Matthew found himself exploding in frustration when Sean brought up this topic. “Sean, Rachel and I grew up together, okay? We were practically stark naked next to
Michael’s phone rang in the evening. An unknown number was plastered across the display screen. “Hi, is this President Larson?”“Who’s this?” Michael asked out of curiosity.“I’m Wendy Cohen, Serena Garcia’s friend. Serena has been drinking today and keeps calling out for your name. Can you pick her up?”This somehow took Michael by shock. Serena was a gentle and elegant lady who had always maintained her image. It was rare that she would end up drunk. Michael gave a soft hum as a sign of agreement.On the other hand, Wendy gave an ‘OK’ sign to Serena. Receiving assurance from Michael, she felt relieved as the nervousness slipped away. Sitting on the sofa, Serena started to chug glasses and glasses of alcohol, not stopping for even a second to breathe as she swept the mugs off the table in front of her.“Drink up, Serena! I hope that you get the man tonight.”After she had chugged down a few mugs, Serena could feel the alcohol take its effect as her mind started to spin around he
Serena was forced to suffer in silence all because of that b*tch, Wendy, saying that she was sure they were going to have a great night together. However, it turned out to be a bad idea.John and Sophia reached the hospital after the nurse was done cleaning her room. He frowned when he smelled the alcohol, and his expression was terrible as well.“This is how you educate our daughter?” He turned around and scolded Sophia, “A lady getting drunk at the pub... See what she has become now!”John was disappointed by her daughter. Michael never really fancied her from the beginning, and because of this incident, she had spoiled their family’s reputation.Sophia hung her head low and kept quiet when she got scolded. She secretly hated Serena for being so useless. How could she make such a silly mistake at such crucial timing? What a troublemaker!Michael would despise her even more after this incident. However, Michael did not think much about it. After all, it was nothing personal to
“Brother, Grandma says that she regrets ignoring your feelings and letting you suffer alone for so many years. It's only because she wants to train you to become our family’s successor. Grandma also says that she won’t care and interfere with your marriage, even if you want to be with Christina.”Sean was stunned because he did not know that his grandma would say something like this. Rachel started tearing on the other end of the call. However, she continued, “Brother, you need to come back quickly. If you drag on… I’m afraid it’d be too late!”“Take care of Grandma first. I’m going to get a plane ticket now!”After she hung up the phone, Rachel made a funny face to Old Madam Young who was sitting on the couch. “Done. He’ll be back by tomorrow morning!”Old Madam Young gave her a thumbs up and praised her. “You sneaky little girl. You’re getting better at acting.”“I can’t compete with you when it comes to acting!” Rachel walked toward the couch and sat down. “Grandma, in case he
