Chapter 29Bang!Before Alfred could finish his sentence, Burgess delivered a heavy punch to him.Sue was startled and about to intervene when she saw Burgess, like a madman, grabbing Alfred's collar and repeatedly hitting him with his fists.On the other hand, Alfred never expected to provoke such a furious reaction from Burgess. He was caught off guard and beaten up, blood splattering everywhere, and the scene quickly turned chaotic.Burgess was aware if Oprah was not that kind of woman, like Alfred and Sue said. Those bad words about her must be the part of their deal and the best part of the plan was to make this damn Alfred intentionally trying to provoke him.Burgess clenched his fists tightly, his eyes cold and fierce, “Once you dare to open your rotten mouth again, I will cut your tongue and throw it to a dog!”The clash between them ended with Alfred was taken to the hospital by Burgess's assistant.Sue on the other side looked at Burgess, who was brooding and considered persu
Chapter 30"Get out! Get out of here," Burgess roared like a raging beast, violently shaking off Oprah's hand as if he felt dirty, even touching her. "Get out and never come back again. Don’t let me see your face anymore!"A look of astonishment appeared on Oprah's face. Did he want to drive her out just because of those rumors? How ridiculous!He had done everything to keep her confined in this villa, even brought her back from the airport, and now he was shouting for her to leave.Tears welled up in Oprah's eyes, and her vision became blurry. But she held back her tears and replied gladly, "Fine, I'll leave. I won't ever appear in front of you anymore, Burgess. After all, I indeed want it since long time ago, to free from you."After saying these words, Oprah quickly took her credentials and resolutely left the villa.But it was already past eight in the evening. The sky outside was covered with dark clouds, and a storm was approaching. The strong wind even made the trees around the
Chapter 31Roxanne nervously replied, "Yes… You're my daughter. Of course, I do care about you."Oprah remained silent.After a while, she took a deep breath, as if making a big decision, and said expressionlessly to Roxanne, "Fine, I'll marry Alfred."Hearing Oprah’s answer, Roxanne was a bit surprised. But then, she hugged her daughter and said, "That's great. I love you, Oprah."***Soon, the marriage of Harrison's stepdaughter and Jeffery's heir appeared in major entertainment headlines.Alfred himself couldn't wait to take Oprah to register their marriage. He wanted Oprah to officially belong to him so that no one would dare to covet her anymore.As if afraid that Oprah would change her mind, the Jeffery family also quickly set a wedding date, just half a month away. They even designed the wedding invitations in advance, making everything feel like a movie fast-forward.However, as the bride-to-be, Oprah felt no joy about the wedding. Even if Alfred was enthusiastic about the wedd
Chapter 32The black Rolls-Royce Phantom raced along the road, while the atmosphere inside the car was heavy and tense.Burgess tightly gripped the steering wheel and pressed hard on the accelerator. He didn't look at Oprah, and Oprah remained silent without causing a scene, just sitting quietly in the passenger seat.After more than ten minutes, Burgess suddenly slammed on the brakes, stopping the car. Oprah instinctively leaned forward but was pulled back by her seatbelt, feeling her belly was getting pressed.“Burgess, what do you want? You endangered the baby!” Oprah said unhappily.Since the car had already stopped, she planned to get out of the car, but Burgess held her wrist, held her head, and pressed his lips against hers. His tongue forcefully prying open her teeth."Mmm..." Oprah was annoyed and tried to push Burgess away.Instead of stopping, Burgess became even more passionate and rough. He sucked on her tongue vigorously and nibbled on her soft lips.Suddenly, Oprah felt
Chapter 33Oprah had never felt so terrified before, but she should try to save the baby, so with all of her strength, she growled, "Burgess, you'll regret this later. Don’t do it, don’t!"She struggled with all her strength and tears streaming down her face. But Burgess remained composed and said, "I will never regret it.""Fine, fine. I lied, I lied to you!" Oprah's face was streaked with tears. She gave up struggling and gasped for breath, "This is your child. You can do a fetal DNA test right now if you don't believe me. Please don’t harm the baby."A crack finally appeared in Burgess's calm facade, and he walked up to Oprah, asking sharply, "Repeat it! Whose child is this?""Yours!" Oprah stared back at him firmly, her eyes filled with resentment. "Burgess, I haven't slept with any other man but you, you should believe me.""But those things you said before...""I was just angry that time since you don't believe me and carried away by the gossip outside. If you force me to have an
Chapter 34Narrowing his eyes through the car window, he appreciated the city's night view. But h his mind filled with her face, and her voice seemed to echo in his ears."That's enough. I'm fed up with you!""Burgess, let me make it clear to you right now, I don't like you, not even a bit. From now on, stop pestering me and looking for me. All of our agreement has been done, nothing left between us!""Burgess, you'll regret it!"“I hate you for the rest of my life!”A sharp pain suddenly gripped Burgess's throat, and his eyes turned red. Right, he did regret it.Yet, no matter how much he regretted it, there was no way he could bring Oprah back to life.Seeing Oprah's ashes was being brought back by Burgess, everyone in the villa who knew Oprah believed she was truly gone. They also pitied Burgess for it.Since that day, he even slept cradling the urn every night. It seemed he still couldn’t accept that Oprah had indeed left this world.Until one night, Burgess couldn't sleep anymore;
Chapter 35Manhattan hadn't changed much over the past six years, except for the prominent Zoey Nicholas posters on buildings everywhere.In these six years, Zoey had been living a high life. She wasn't just a pop star; she had become a top-tier actress in the entertainment industry.Oprah's gaze shifted away from the posters.An hour later, The car stopped in a villa complex called "Rose Mansion."The villa complex was peaceful, and the surroundings were picturesque even at night.After arriving at her residence, Oprah immediately called Sunny to check in her two sons."Sunny, where's Kaleb?" Oprah didn't see Kaleb and found it a bit strange.Sunny smiled and replied, "He's in his room reading. I'll go open the door."While most children his age struggled with reading, Kaleb was exceptionally bright and could understand books from various genres. Sometimes, he also talked about things like an adult.Oprah had heard Burgess's father, Old Mr. Harrison, mention that Burgess had been the
Chapter 36Before Oprah arrived, she had noticed the most luxurious and best-positioned private room for the auction upstairs.The room was designed with one-way glass – people outside couldn't see inside, but those inside could see the outside. That was why she had purposely chosen a seat in a spot visible from the room.Then, as if by chance, she looked up and gazed at the room upstairs. It was a fleeting glance, and her eyes remained calm and undisturbed.Inside the room, Burgess's assistant, Hardy, was dumbfounded. "Miss Oprah!"Hardy had always been Burgess's right-hand man and was naturally familiar with Oprah. He also knew how obsessed his boss, Burgess, had been with her over these six years.Suppressing the urge to rush down, Burgess gave instructions to Hardy, "Withdraw the bid.""Yes."Following the instructions from upstairs, the secretary below stopped bidding.The audience had initially expected to witness a lavish bidding war today but was shocked to see Burgess giving u
