Fortunately, Michael did not voice his assumption just now, or John would have become vigilant.After John left Michael’s office, he chewed over the matter along the way. He felt the need to investigate the issue as soon as possible to avoid the danger first. He had to keep the issue from being disclosed. Once he arrived home, he looked at Sophia with suspicion. His expression was filled with hostility. Throughout these years, Sophia was most capable of observing one’s expression. From John’s gaze, she could sense that danger was near. Sophia then asked the chauffeur, Benny, about John’s itinerary only to find out that Bill had been arrested and that John had personally interrogated Bill in the police station.Sophia instantly panicked. If Bill confessed everything, she would be dead.She felt uneasy as she recalled the way John looked at her. Could John be suspecting her already?Luckily she never had direct contact with Bill. Now that Ninth Brother had gone abroad, she was

“What? Did you say Bill was caught?”This took Winona by shock. She knew the entire development of Bill’s incident the last time. If John learned the truth from Bill and tracked it down to Sophia following the clues, then all of them would be in trouble.“John knows about the past?”“Not yet but his attitude has changed after seeing the man. Bill’s involved with Hoover Lane, hence John must be suspicious of me because of that.”Winona knew the seriousness of the matter. Christina had never been in contact with people from Hoover Lane thus it seemed unlikely that she would be involved with them. John must be able to guess that Bill and Ninth Brother were under someone else’s instruction.Fortunately, Bill did not know much of the details. He only carried out Ninth Brother’s orders as told and had no direct contact with Sophia. However, if John continued with the investigation, the truth might come to light soon.“Ninth Brother has already left the country. So even if John’s suspic

Michael figured he had to take a different approach to the arrest of Ninth Brother, and that was when he thought of Matthew. The Henderson family had great connections with the police and gangs abroad. Seeking their help would definitely be more effective than depending on the police.He was thinking about this when Logan came to report that Matthew’s staff was also following Sophia. It seemed that Matthew had also figured that something was wrong.Logan’s words implicitly implied that it was better to squash enmity rather than keeping it alive. Michael and Matthew did not have any discord between them to begin with. They only ended up in this awkward situation because of Christina.Since Christina’s happiness was their common goal, it would make things easier if they made peace with each other.Michael and Matthew were both proud and arrogant. In the past, it would be impossible for either of them to take a step back and initiate reconciliation. However, the situation was differ

Heather was genuinely remorseful and eager to compensate Christina. She felt that she ought to show her consideration now that the latter was expecting. Therefore, she bought a lot of baby clothes, toys, and maternity supplies and delivered them to Christina. The woman behaved as politely as the last time. Travis thought better of her after seeing the friendly smile on her face, not to mention the plenty of presents that she had brought along too. He did not run away this time when she showed up. Instead, he stayed by Christina’s side as the two women spoke.Heather was liking the adorable boy more and more. Though because of his health condition, Travis was not as chubby as peers his age but he looked frail and pale instead. Heather felt sorry for her grandson. It was all her fault. If she had not treated Christina poorly in the past, the latter would not have to suffer and the boy might not be born with this sickness.She yearned to hug her grandson close and shower him with kiss

Heather had just grabbed the bottle of spinach soup when Winona showed up at her house. She had to stop what she was doing to chat with the visitor for a while.Judy reminded her on the side that she should hurry up and deliver the spinach soup. It was best to consume the drink lukewarm or the taste would deteriorate once it cooled down.Heather could not leave the house since she had a visitor. Anxious, she then handed the insulated bottle over to Judy and instructed the latter to send it to Christina.Christina was playing blocks with Travis in the living room when the doorbell rang. It was Judy on the other side of the door, holding an insulated bottle.Judy, Heather’s lackey, treated her terribly whilst she was still living in the Larson residence, so she did not show the unwelcome visitor any politeness. “What are you doing here?”Strangely, just like Heather, Judy treated Christina with unusual kindness. She handed over the insulated bottle with a smile. “Madam instructed me
