“What if Suzy decides to pursue Michael relentlessly? That’ll certainly affect my relationship with him. Besides, he has already fallen out with Christina, so there’s no need to create more issues.”Rachel tried hard to stop herself from shouting at the treacherous Serena. She spent all day trying to convince the latter but it was to no avail. Feeling impatient, she spoke more rudely.“Miss Garcia, I want to use Suzy to destroy Christina and Michael, not steal him away from you. What are you worried about? His love for Christina is unusually deep, hence it’s highly likely for the ashes of their passion to burn once more. Besides, what if Heather comes out of the coma? You’re too naive.”Serena was shocked upon hearing that. Indeed, she was also worried that Heather might regain consciousness. When that happened, Michael would learn that the devil was not Christina but Winona and Sophia.When that happened, he would not blame Christina anymore and instead be incensed at Serena. This
Back then, Winona told Sophia the reason she sent Suzy abroad was to prevent the latter from exposing their evil plan of setting up Michael and Serena.Sophia would not have figured out that Winona thought Serena was her birth daughter and Suzy Sophia’s. Winona only had the motive to murder Suzy for fear of the fact that she exchanged the babies at birth all those years ago would be discovered. Serena replied, “I didn’t expect that too but it’s not necessarily a bad thing. Rachel’s also planning to bring down Christina. It would save us some troubles with her over there influencing Suzy to continue helping us.”A frown formed between Sophia’s brows. “Can we trust Rachel? I can’t help but be worried as she’s Sean’s sister after all. What if she tells him about this and he passes it on to Christina?”“Mom, don’t worry about that. Rachel’s Matthew fiancée, you wouldn’t know how much she hates Christina.”Sophia agreed after a brief consideration. “You’ve got a point. Indeed, we need
The driver led Sophia into the villa, and only upon seeing Miss Laura standing in the living room was she relieved.The latter greeted her. “Madam, Mayor is in the study room.”Sophia nodded before heading upstairs to the study. John was sitting by the desk, staring right in the direction of the door with a stern expression.She tried to calm down before stepping forward. “Johnny, you should have a lie down if you’re not feeling well. Let me help you to the bedroom.”“No, I can’t rest well either way.”“Is something troubling you? Has something gone wrong at work?” She came over to rub his shoulders.He suddenly turned around to look at her face. “Sophia, how long have we known each other?”She did not know what he was getting at. “Probably over twenty years.”He nodded, looking as if he was deep in thoughts. “Yes, it’s been over twenty years since I impulsively got into your bed. I’ve always been a disciplined man but why would I lose control on that particular night?”The wo
John was terrorized at that time because he was afraid that he could not hold his position as the mayor, and thus, he chose to keep it to himself.John had kept the murderer of his wife beside him for decades, and he even mistook Sophia as a good wife and mother. How ridiculous.He then took out a letter from the drawer and read it thoroughly. After that, he lifted his head and asked, “Molly has passed away for so many years. Have you ever felt sorry for her?”“Of course, I do.” Sophia’s heart trembled, but she quickly concealed her emotions. “I know the things that happened between us had let Molly down. I’ve felt guilty all these years, but we cannot save what has already happened. John, we need to look forward and live our life.”“Your only guilt is that you had sex with me back then?” His gaze was sharp. “Don’t tell me there are no other things that you feel guilty of?”Sophia realized something had gone wrong. “John, you… I don’t get your point?”“You don’t get me? See for y
“John, I didn’t covet anything from you? If you insist on saying that I have bad intentions, then it must be that I love you too much. I want to be by your side forever because I love you.”“Shut up!” John’s words were like a slap on Sophia’s face. “Do you think I’m a fool? Love? How does bi*ch like you deserve to talk about love?”“John! I know you’re too mad right now to believe in what I said. It’s okay. I’ll make you believe me, and I’ll move out with Serena immediately. I’m leaving!”Sophia backed away to the door while she spoke. The way John looked made Sophia so afraid that she uncontrollably felt a chill in her heart. She needed to get out of there as fast as possible!John did not react when he saw her back away, and Sophia could not care less as she opened the door and was ready to run out of the room in a panic. Yet once she got out of the room, she saw the chauffeur and Miss Laura standing at the stairwell, looking at her with a smirk on their faces.“You heartless b*
On the other side, in the nightclub.Yvonne urged Benedict to send a letter to the Garcias. Then, the both of them waited for them to reply, but nothing happened even after a few days.Benedict started to get curious. Was Sophia not going to care about such an important affair? As such, he went to Judy and asked about the situation.Only then did he realize that Sophia was not at home. She had gone overseas a few days ago and had yet returned.Benedict felt like he was really unlucky because he could not even scam some money from Sophia. Sophia just had to travel overseas at a time like this!With that, he went back to the nightclub and told Yvonne about it. Yvonne too had a feeling that Sophia had definitely received the letter and because she felt guilty, she ran to another country to hide. It was good enough as long as Sophia was frightened. She could hide but not forever; she would come back sooner or later.After having gone through this period of time together, Benedict b
After Sean got off from work, he went to his countryside villa to get Suzy back to the Young’s residence for a meal with Old Madam Sean was slowly getting to know about Suzy after interacting with her these days. She was quiet and shy. Sean was worried that he would scare her off if he were to tell her that he wanted to invite her to dinner at his house, so Sean used an excuse to get Suzy out.If Old Madam liked her by then, she naturally would request Suzy to stay there. That way it would not be too intentional.As long as Old Madam Young expressed her preference after meeting with Suzy, Sean would immediately suggest Suzy move in and stay at the Young’s residence. Sean would want her to accompany Old Madam Young under the pretext of taking care of her.Sean believed that with her kind and gentle behavior, Suzy would be more than happy to take care of Old Madam and would be a very good one at that. He purposely took a cab instead of driving there.Suzy was surprised to see him
After Suzy got out of the villa, Sean hailed a cab to the mall and brought Suzy to the garment district.“You’re a lady, so you should have a better taste than me. You pick some first, then I’ll make the final decision.”Suzy went around once and spotted several dresses that suited her style.However, she was not buying for herself; it was for Sean’s fiancée instead. Since Sean had repeated to her that she looked like his fiancée, Suzy was worried that she would disappoint Sean if Christina did not fancy the dresses that she chose.“Brother Young, can you let me have a look at your fiancée’s recent pictures? So I can pick more suitable dresses that are based on her temperament.”“You’ve got a point. I’ve got one of her photos. Here, take a look.”Sean bringing Suzy to the mall today was just an excuse for him to bring her back to his house for dinner. Of course, Sean wanted to take this chance to buy Christina a dress as her present too.He took out his phone and found a picture
