“I’m going to starve to death if you refuse, Mom. Wasn’t it bad enough for you to abandon me when I was a kid? Why did you give birth to me if you want to watch me suffer?”Frustrated, Judy did not want to argue with her son anymore, so she placed all her money on the table. “These are all I have.”“That little?” Benedict was obviously not happy about it. By now, Judy was furious and annoyed. “I’ve only got a few hundred dollars on me. Take it or leave it.”After picking up the money, Benedict left. Judy then stood up too and headed out only to be stopped by a man at the door.Judy jumped in shock when she took a closer look at the man. “You… you got out?”Darren gave her the death glare. “Were you hoping for me to stay locked up for the rest of my life?”“Why would I?” Judy was so scared that she took a few steps back in fear. She knew how vicious Darren was, and he would never let her off the hook after she divorced him in secret and put their son up on adoption. The most d
“Stop lying. I saw everything!” Darren Cain snorted.“You wretch. Look at yourself! Why would you look for such a young sugar baby anyway? Aren’t you afraid that God will punish you for doing this? Just give me my money, or I’ll break your legs today!”Although Judy was put in a tough spot, she knew that she could no longer hide the truth. “That isn’t my sugar baby. It’s your son, Benedict...”Judy eventually gave in and told Darren the truth about Benedict.Darren stood rooted to the ground when he realized that his sister’s sugar baby was his son.He did not believe his ears and asked Judy once again. On the other hand, Judy had no clue that Darren had already learned of Benedict’s relationship with Yvonne and repeated what she had said in confidence. Darren was completely shocked to his core. Not only did his son live with his sister, but Benedict had also gotten her pregnant! Even though it was bad, Darren thanked his lucky stars that Yvonne had that miscarriage because he c
“You must be incredibly unlucky to get randomly bashed up then.” Mr. Wesley sighed.“I’ve already told President Larson about this, and he asked you to take care of yourself. He guaranteed to track down the man who had beaten you up and had already notified the cops about this. I’m pretty sure that the cops would find a lead so you shouldn’t worry too much about it.”Judy loathed Darren so much that she wanted to skin the b*stard alive. As much as she wanted to take her revenge, she knew that the timing to do so was not right.She still had no idea how to explain her relationship with Darren and did not want Michael to get involved yet. She already had enough on her plate, and things would be way worse if Michael found out about the truth.That was why she decided to let Darren off the hook. She had all the time in the world and could always take her revenge on him when she recovered.“I think that the person who attacked me was a psycho. Otherwise, why would a stranger hit me out
Darren initially had no idea where he should run off to. Upon hearing Earl’s words, he might as well stay and watch how things developed. He planned to act only if Judy, that b*tch, called the police. “Stay home and don’t go anywhere in the next few days, Brother Cain. I’ll get the brothers to sniff around.”Left in dire straits, Darren did not expect that Earl would continue to stay by his side. “I’ll remember your generosity, Earl. I’ll return the favor in the future!”“Don’t mention it, Brother. As brothers, we’re supposed to help each other! Who knows I may commit a crime someday and need a favor from you?”Judy did not give Benedict a call over the past few days. She did not want him to know about her situation and more importantly, Darren’s presence.However, she could not endure the torture day after day. Ultimately, she allowed Benedict to visit her in the hospital.Benedict took a taxi to the hospital immediately upon knowing that his mother was injured and hospitalized
“What are you bullsh*tting?” Judy was shocked, wondering how her son knew about it.“It was you who bribed the doctor, right? You’d better tell me the truth. Otherwise, I’m going to the Department of Women and Children to ask Winona and make a fuss about it.” “Are you out of your mind? Is it worth doing it for the sake of an old lady?” Judy panicked at the sight of her son’s behavior. “Son, if the woman was someone else, I wouldn’t have treated her this way. But Yvonne and you… just can’t be together!”“Yes, I’m out of my mind. Why would I have such a vicious mom?” Benedict raged at Judy.“After all, the child had a life. How could you be so cruel? I finally met a woman I was truly in love with, only to get such terrible treatment from you. Are you hoping that I won’t have any descendants?”“Son, I was left with no choice. You can’t have a relationship with Yvonne!” Judy restated. “Why can’t I have a relationship with Yvonne?” Benedict asked.Judy was not bold enough to tell h
Feeling uneasy, Matthew called Sean to ask him why he was not back yet. Sean sighed and spoke hesitantly on the phone. “Matthew, I’m afraid I… I can’t return for the time being!”“Why?” Matthew was stunned. It really surprised him to see Sean, who had always been a gentleman, stammer all of a sudden.“Something happened, ugh! I feel too ashamed to see Christina again!”Sean’s words stunned Matthew even more. “What had actually happened?”“I’m too ashamed to say it!” Sean sighed. “Anyway, it’s not something great.”“We’ve been friends for years. Just tell me, and I’ll give you advice!”“Ugh!” Sean sighed heavily. “Matthew, I… I slept with another woman.”“Ah!”Matthew doubted if he heard it wrong, considering that Sean had always preserved his moral integrity and was never caught up in a scandal over the years. Since Sean had broached the subject, he did not plan to hide it anymore. What happened that night was absolutely incredible to him. At this point, he was still in a daz
“What? You actually slept with a woman who’s unknown to you?” Matthew was shocked.Matthew knew that Sean always took relationships lightly, but little did he think that Sean’s affair was even more exciting than what he did. Well, never judge a man by his appearance!“Stop mocking me. Really, it was an accident!” Sean laughed bitterly, not knowing how he should face Christina anymore.Matthew thought the matter over and found it strange. “Sean, could it be a trick?”“I don’t think so. I was just in my own house. Who could’ve tricked me?”“You mentioned that you went downstairs to fetch some water in the middle of the night and that Jade happened to be in the living room. This situation itself is strange. Who would be awake in the middle of the night waiting for someone in the living room?” Since Matthew mentioned it, Sean felt that there was something fishy about the incident.Having said that, Jade was pure and innocent, and she could not possibly do such a thing. Perhaps it w
“Could it be Rachel’s doing?” Matthew asked.“Probably not.”“Well, it’s hard to say. She has long since started to find fault with Christina, and she probably still behaves in the same manner. You’d better check her out.”Sean frowned upon hanging up the phone. Could it be Rachel? Deep in his heart, he refused to believe that it was Rachel’s doing. However, as Sean recollected that she tricked Christina previously, he had second thoughts about it. In this case, he had to look into the incident.In addition to some dishes and wine, he only had a bowl of hamburger soup and half a glass of water that night. Since there was definitely nothing wrong with the water, he was only having doubts about the hamburger soup at that moment.Having asked the kitchen servants previously, Sean found out that he was not the only one who drank the hamburger soup as Rachel too did. Therefore, he instinctively believed that the soup was not the cause. Rather, it was him who had mistaken Jade for Chris
