Charlie Sr.'s expression turned grave as he feared his grandmother would follow through with her plan. He dropped to his knees and pleaded with her apologetically, "Grandma, I promise I'll go to the company tomorrow and stay away from her. Please don't harm her," his heart beating rapidly with anxiety.Madame Agnes waved him off and spoke in a cold tone, "This is your last chance, Charlie."Charlie Sr. breathed a sigh of relief and left Madame Agnes' mansion. Rather than heading to the hospital, he went straight home, knowing he had to be at the company early the next morning.Charlie Sr paced back and forth on the balcony, constantly checking his wristwatch. He finally decided to call Stones, and the latter picked up after a few rings. "Boss," Stones greeted him over the phone's speaker."How is she? Is she awake?" Charlie Sr's voice was filled with worry."Yes, boss," Stones confirmed.Charlie Sr fell silent for a moment, his face showing a mix of emotions. He then asked with hesit
Brenda hesitated for a while, but eventually, she decided not to return to the bar. Instead, she went home and locked herself in her room. She played the tape and watched it intently, her eyes widening in shock. As she continued watching, her expression changed, and she began to grin widely, eventually bursting out into insane laughter.Afterwards, Brenda walked towards the screen with a smug smile and took the tape out of the player, her eyes narrowing. "Chloe, you may enjoy this for now, but remember, when the time comes, I will make you suffer even more than you can imagine," Brenda vowed menacingly.****The following morning, Maggi gazed at Margret with enthusiasm as Margret revealed that she had regained her memories. "Aunt Meg, your name is Margret?" Maggi asked in amazement, recalling the abusive man who always referred to her as Margret.Margret nodded without hesitation, acknowledging the truth. Maggi's countenance shifted to a more serious one as she inquired, "Does that m
As Charlie Sr. reached out to touch the figure that was slowly moving away, she suddenly spun around, catching him off guard. The sight that greeted him was one that made his heart sink. Margret stood before him, tears streaming down her face, looking utterly vulnerable and helpless. Charlie Sr. was at a loss for words or actions; he simply stood there, staring at her with a mixture of shock and sympathy.Passersby turned to stare at Margaret as she finally asked, "Is it true?" They were standing on the sidewalk, and Charlie Sr. looked at her in confusion and asked, "What do you mean?"Margret's face was filled with disappointment, which made Charlie Sr. even more confused."Is Chloe pregnant with your child?" Margret asked.Charlie Sr.'s demeanour shifted abruptly; he lowered his gaze and clenched his fists, guilt evident on his face. "Can we go somewhere else to discuss this?" he muttered reluctantly.Margret staggered backwards, her legs trembling with disbelief. She struggled to a
Tears streamed down her face despite her efforts to remain composed. The images she had witnessed kept flooding her mind, causing her to break down in sobs. Unaware of her surroundings, Margret stared blankly at the wall as her baby's cries filled the room.Suddenly, the door opened, and Maggi entered with a smile. However, her joy quickly turned to concern when she saw Margret's distressed state and heard the baby's cries. She hurried over to the bed and picked up the infant."Aunty Margret!" Maggi called out, but there was no response.Maggi raised her voice, "Aunty Margret!!"Margret snapped out of her daze, looking around with confusion. She heard the baby crying and instinctively reached out for her child, who was no longer there.Maggi approached Margret with concern, noticing tears streaming down her face. "Are you okay? What's wrong?" she asked.Margret tried to compose herself, wiping away her tears and forcing a smile. "It's nothing, I'm fine," she replied.Maggi didn't pres
Chloe stood at the door as Margret's face darkened upon seeing her. With a cold demeanour, Margret narrowed her eyes and refused to budge, blocking Chloe's entry."Why are you here?" Margret asked, her tone unfriendly.Chloe chuckled, trying to lighten the mood. "Come on now, don't be rude. I'm your visitor after all. Can't I come in?""If you have nothing important to say, I will have to close the door," Margret replied sternly.Suddenly, a loud cry emanated from inside the house, causing Margret to panic and rush in. Seizing the opportunity, Chloe slipped into the house. However, her expression darkened upon seeing the baby in Margret's arms."You must have not wanted me to come because you have a child out of wedlock. Does Charlie know about the baby that you're carrying from another man?" Chloe accused, sneering at Margret.Margret's expression changed drastically. While she believed that the child was Charlie Sr.'s, she wasn't entirely sure about its paternity. Her memory loss w
Margret furrowed her brow as she contemplated the DNA test results. She had doubts about their accuracy, so she decided to get tested again at a different hospital. There must have been an error on the part of the lab technician.Despite her decision, she remained uneasy. As she emerged from her room, she was taken aback to find Brenda in the living room, holding her baby, while Maggi was engrossed in her homework.Margret greeted Brenda suspiciously, "What brings you here, Brenda?"Brenda replied indignantly, "Is that how you welcome your sister, Sister Margret?"Margret's heart sank as she realized that Brenda knew she had regained her memories. She demanded, "Brenda, give me my baby."Brenda chuckled and handed the baby to Margret. After examining her child, Margret relaxed and turned to Maggi."Maggi, could you take Ten Ten inside? I need to speak with my sister privately," Margret asked.Maggi put down her book and took the baby from Margret before leaving.Brenda chuckled and sa
The atmosphere grew strange because the White family made a public announcement about the upcoming marriage between Chloe and Charlie Sr. This revelation meant that Charlie Sr.'s previous marriage to Margret was not recognized.Barrister Newton regained his composure and extended his hand for a handshake. "Forgive me, where are my manners? It's a pleasure to meet you."Margret accepted the handshake, but her expression was uneasy as she replied, "Likewise."Klaus interrupted with a cough and said, "We need to hurry, we're running late."As they hurried into the Jing Entertainment building, the sound of voices emanated from the boardroom. Klaus opened the door, and they walked in to find Brenda, who was leading the meeting, glaring at them."What are you doing here?" she asked icily.Barrister Newton intervened sternly, "Mrs. Owen, my client has the right to be here and should be in your place. You should hear her out before you say anything further."But Brenda was not in a mood to li
Charlie Sr. held onto Margret's arms and pressed on, "But what if there's no solution to the problem?"Margret went quiet. The last time they had attempted to escape, Madame Agnes had caught up with them and tried to take them back to Houston. Trying to run away again seemed foolish."I'm sorry, Charlie. I can't go through with this," she said, pulling her arms away and turning away from him. As she hurried into her house, tears streamed down her face.Charlie Sr. watched her go with a sorrowful expression, then hung his head and walked away.Upon entering the living room, Margret immediately noticed Maggi playing with Ten Ten on the floor. Without acknowledging them, she headed straight to her room and collapsed onto her bed, sobbing.In the days that followed, Margret made frequent visits to Jing Entertainment. Meanwhile, news of Charlie Sr. and Chloe's upcoming wedding circulated, and the White Group sent numerous invitations, making a big deal out of the event.Margret sat in her
