John Lane died on the operating table. She thought she could at least take a breath of relief after having enough money to perform the operation. As long as he could live, every cloud had a silver lining. She didn’t expect this bad news to follow without giving her a chance to gasp for breath.A few moments later, Lillian came out with red eyes. “Tiffie… Go and see your dad one last time…”Tiffany shook her head weakly. “I don’t want to… Mom, I’ll get his funeral settled early morning tomorrow. You can go back and rest.”Lillian didn’t move but cried even more sadly on the spot. Her frail body shook like a leaf, and she looked like she was going to collapse the very next moment.The thought of going back to a ghastly and crowded rental house that looked like it was in the ghetto scared her. As a wife from a once wealthy family, she had never gone through this kind of ordeal. After staying like that for a while, Tiffany stood up. Her legs were tingling from numbness. “Mom, I’ll se

Tears rolled in her eyes, but Tiffany tried her best to keep them from falling. “Hmm, I can tell that this Sasha is just like me. We’re nothing but your stepping stones. Instead of getting angry, I should sympathize with her. Your eyes are as cold as the harsh winter wind. That’s how you’ve been looking at me since before, I was just too fond of indulging in my own fantasies. No need to pay back the money. Since I willingly spent it on you, I have no right to ask for it back. Thank you for teaching me a lesson. Thank you for giving me a hard blow when my entire world is crumbling. You really disgust me!”Having said that, she turned around and left. It was then that tears finally came streaming down her face.She understood everything the moment Ethan came out of the bathroom. The first thing he worried about was not the fact that she was soaked to the bone, but the secrets he had in his phone. The disappointment was too much that she could no longer continue deceiving herself.She

Aery was vexed, but she had to retain the smile on her face in front of Mark. “Looks like you’re in a bad mood, big sis. Could it be that you were out all night yesterday meeting someone that you shouldn’t be meeting?”Arianne glanced at Mark, who was sitting on the sofa with an incomprehensible expression on his face. She then went upstairs quietly, not bothering to provide an explanation.She’d seen the documents on the coffee table. Since Helen personally came, then they must be talking about business. Nevertheless, she still didn’t want to see the two women that she hated.Due to her physical discomfort, she laid in bed, unable to sleep well. It felt like she had only laid down for a short while when Mary called her to eat. However, when she got up and looked at the time, it was already noon.Arianne raised her legs carefully when she was getting out of the bed. She didn’t want to startle the baby growing in her womb again this time.The first thing she did once she got up was

“Arianne, I’m leaving,” Helen carefully called out. “Go to a doctor if you’re not feeling well. Don’t drag it out.”She couldn’t contain her disgust. “It’s not your place to concern yourself with me, Mrs. Kinsey,” she replied icily. “You should be more concerned about the members of the Kinsey family.”Helen’s body stiffened. She felt slightly embarrassed. Aery tugged on Helen. “Please don’t subject yourself to someone else’s cold shoulder, mother. You may want to acknowledge her as your daughter, but she doesn't acknowledge you as her mother.”Helen let out a sigh and quietly walked downstairs to leave. Aery was feeling completely disgusted. Once upon a time, she was the only daughter in Helen’s eyes. However, Arianne had now made an appearance all of a sudden, and she had the man she loved under her thumb as well. The thought of this angered her greatly!Not too long after, everything went silent outside. Arianne got up and went downstairs to find something to eat.Just as she s

Will glanced at Arianne but didn’t reveal the matter involving Mark. “It’s nothing. It’s late, let’s call it a night. Tiffie, you should go home and keep your mother company.”Tiffany sighed. “You know what my mother’s like. Now that my father’s gone, she probably won’t be able to catch her breath for a few years.”Arianne nodded, “Then I’m leaving. Call me if you need anything.”Just as she had spoken, she noticed a black Rolls-Royce parked not too far away. She remembered the car plate number all too well—it was Mark’s car…It took Brian a quick moment to get down from the car, walk up to her, and take her handbag. “Time to go, Madam.”Arianne did not expect to see Mark here. She looked at Will and Tiffany then followed Brian into the car without another word.Mark’s expression in the car was difficult to read. “What are you doing here?” she asked.He looked out at the passing buildings. “Why can’t I be here?” he asked in a chilly voice.She was momentarily at a loss for word
