"How... How is he?" Lydia's eyes lit up."He's fine" Jeremy hesitated for a moment and asked, "Mom, do you know Myra?"Lydia's face suddenly changed. After a while, she mumbled, "Yes""How did she die?""What did Malcom say to you?" Lydia retorted with another question."He told me a bit about what happened between the two of you. He said that Myra was killed by you!""Did he say that?" Lydia's face suddenly turned ashen, her body shaking like a leaf."Mom, is what Malcom said true?" Jeremy insisted on an answer."Since he had said so, it must be true!" Lydia's face was as white as a ghost; there was a bitterness brewing in her heart.Jeremy did not expect Lydia would admit to it. He felt an unspeakable disappointment in his heart. How he wished Lydia would deny it without any hesitation and tell him that it was all Malcom's nonsense. But she didn't.The image of his kind mother who had always been humiliated by Malcom had changed in his mind. Anyone in his position would feel the sam
Jeremy was smoking at the end of the corridor. The cigarette tip glowed brightly, illuminating his gloomy face. Suddenly, he heard footsteps coming from behind him. Jeremy felt a hand on his shoulder. "Jeremy, I have something to tell you" said Pedro. Jeremy modded and went to the study with him, "I know what happened yesterday. In fact, if you want to know about what happened back then, you don't have to question Lydia. you have to come to me." Jeremy didn't say anything. He just looked at Pedro quietly. "The emotional dispute between your parents and Myra was actually a tragedy caused by two rich and powerful families. Both your grandmother's were friends and they had agreed very early on that day that they wanted their children to marry each other. Later on, your grandmother was even more determined when she saw how kind and gentle your mother was. Unfortunately, she hadn't expected Malcom to fall in love with Myra in high school." Pedro paused for a while and added, "what happe
Jeremy looked at Lydia in the ward in a daze and asked himself over and over again. "Jeremy, you have lived for so long. What have you done for her?" He couldn't think of anything. In his memory, it seemed that Lydia had always been the sole one sacrificing for him. He had never done anything for her! He recalled Lydia's pleading eyes that night when she said, "Joanne is a good girl. I like her very much. I hope you can like her too and get together with her!" A bitter smile appeared at the corners of Jeremy's mouth. At this moment, he finally understood what Malcom felt like back then. After all, who wouldn't feel this way when they couldn't be with the one they loved? ..... After some thoughts, Britney decided to invite Barbara out to meet at a cafe. Barbara arrived twenty minutes earlier. Meanwhile, Britney was very punctual. She arrived right on dot. This was the first time Britney was meeting Barbara again after nine years. Barbara's appearance was still the same as that of
"Britney, of your father had an affair and then had an illegitimate daughter behind your mother's back and caused her to die, would you still acknowledge him as your father?""Of course I won't!" After Britney answered, she looked at Barbara in astonishment. "What do you mean?""If you had paid a little more attention to Steven, you would realize that Emily is the same age as me" Barbara turned to look out of the window."I see!" Britney sighed. "I have misunderstood you. I'm sorry!.""Britney, let me be frank with you. It's not that I didn't have feelings for Nathan, bur rather I understood the disparity between our worlds. I didn't have any right to like him, so I suppressed my feelings for him. Later, after you talked to me, I decided to leave. Now I don't deny that I am part of the reason why Nathan is the way he is now. I didn't choose him back then. Now, that I'm burdened with my own baggage, I can assure you that I won't hurt him. I will persuade him to find his own partner."B
When they returned to the White mansion, Britney ordered the house keeper to prepare the cash. When the kidnappers called, she would give it to them to save Barbara. When Joanne came back, she stopped Britney after getting a hold of the situation. "Grandma, don't you think this is the perfect opportunity?""Perfect opportunity for what?" Asked Britney."To get rid of Barbara " Joanne reminded her. "As long as we don't pay the ransom, the robbers will definitely get rid of her. By then, Barbara will definitely disappear. That way, you won't have to worry about Nathan anymore""What did you say?" Britney looked at Joanne in surprise as if she was a stranger. "How could you suggest something so sinister? Barbara was taken away in order to save me. Do you feel like it is the right time to discuss this?""I....I..." Joanne knew that she has misspoken. She had always acted gentle and kind. No wonder Britney was surprised when Joanne made such a suggestion.The robbers took Barbara to a hous

Raina went ballistic when she heard this and immediately charged over to yank Barbara's hair before she began to trash and kick her.Barbara quickly blacked out from the violent beatings.When she finally regained her consciousness, she opened her eyes to a sea of white. She tried to sit up but her body ached so terribly that she had to lean against tbe headboard of her bed to catch her breath. But right at that moment, the door to get ward opened and a man wearing a pair of gold rimmed glasses came in."Hello, Miss Barbara. I'm President Lorenzo's lawyer!""Lawyer?"
