She didn\'t really think he’d answer affirmatively. It was very unlikely that they weren’t legally married, since marriage was usually the cornerstone of wealth for rich families. But still, she held her breath. \"No,” he blurted out. Vera’s eyes nearly fell off their sockets. Judith looked like someone had struck her. “No,” Sean repeated. “The wedding was not registered. Technically it’s not official,\" Sean said, somewhat lightheartedly. \"Sean, no...\" At first, Judith Song was a little panicked, but then calmed down. She figured Sean would never reveal their true relationship, since that would endanger not just her but also himself. Well, she was wrong. Sean knew that this matter was a landmine, but he took the risk. He felt that this was his only opportunity to actually convince Vera. Otherwise, she’d never believe him. Vera was equally surprised, but she didn’t miss a beat. She looked at Judith Song with a mocking s
\"Shut up, I don\'t want to listen. My affairs have nothing to do with you. Behave yourself, or the contract will be terminated.\" Sean turned and left, leaving Judith Song alone. Judith breathed a sigh of relief. At least, Sean stopped asking about her relationship with Morris Chu. This was a much better outcome than she’s expected. Still, she could not let Vera go. She would make sure Vera could never get her hands on Sean. ... After getting off work, Vera went to school to pick up the children. On the way home, she noticed that something was wrong. Vera pulled over and got out. She checked the tires one by one, and found that the tire on the passenger side was flat. Vera kicked the tire in annoyance. Today is unlucky. Now even the car is being difficult. This car didn’t come with a spare tire. Though her tires are supposed to run for a while after getting punctured, by the time she realized that something was
Soon they were home, and she got dinner ready in no time. Sean arrived just in time to see the table being set. His face was cold when he walked in. Vera already knew the reason. \"Eat, don\'t affect the children\'s appetite.\" Vera reminded, but fortunately, Sean didn\'t say anything, and began to dig into the meal. After telling the children to do their homework, Vera called Sean to her room. \"No matter what you say, try to keep the volume down. The children will be worried when they hear it.\" Vera reminded him. Vera sat on the side of the bed after speaking, but Sean was silent for a moment and spoke coldly. \"I asked Judith Song about your relationship—\" As soon as Sean spoke, Vera cut him off. She didn’t want to hear Judith slandering her through Sean’s mouth. \"What exactly did she tell you? That I’m a liar? That I was with Morris Chu for his money? That she was righteous, that she personally ex
Sean was like a vast, unfathomable ocean: calm one moment, stormy the next moment. He was not suitable for a woman like her. She wanted a plain, peaceful life. \"Vera, no one refuses me. You’ve toyed with me for long enough. I have given you a lot of opportunities, but you don\'t know how to appreciate it. You should brace yourself. What comes next, you’re not going to like it one bit.\" The disappointment of rejection made Sean furious. She said nothing. \"You’re fired!” Sean roared. “You have until tomorrow to return everything back to the company.\" He turned and left. Vera held her breath, but even as she slowly released her breath, she felt her heart tighten. Sean had finally let go of her, now she should be happy. Vera couldn’t calm down for a long time. Sean didn’t bring Thomas with him when he left. Both children were shocked by the anger when he left and sat on the sofa in the living room, bowing their h
Sean stepped in front of her and stood face to face with her. He was too close. Vera felt flustered. \"I’ve taken my child to school,” she began again. “It will be her last day today—\" With his back facing the elevator buttons, Sean pressed the close button. \"I’ll give you one last chance.\" Sean spoke bitterly. His eyes were as deep as ink, making her feel confused. Vera answered decisively without even thinking about it. \"Mr. Qiao, my choice is the same as yesterday.\" She was quite sure that her choice was right. Only by staying away from Sean can she stay away from Judith Song. This way, she can forget the pain she’d inflicted on her four years ago. \"You’ll come back soon enough.\" Sean’s cold eyes shot Vera, his tone like ice revealing an aura of danger. Sean turned around and struck the elevator buttons hard. The door opened and he left angrily. Vera finally walked out of the building. The sun
Danni walked into the room. \"Don\'t worry about how I found out. You have to tell me what\'s going on.\" Vera calmly told her. \"Sean is too much, isn\'t this harassment?\" Danni was outraged. \"It\'s great to be rich and powerful, isn\'t it? How can he treat you so bad? I think Judith is using him to vent her anger at you. You have to fight back!\" \"Forget it. Why are you so upset? I\'m not even angry. Even if he is taking Judith’s side, it\'s no surprise. They’re husband and wife, after all. Instead, I have to thank him for breaking the working relationship with me. From now on, I can start fresh.\" Vera pretended to be calm. Well, she couldn\'t change anything, right? \"But they’ve been throwing shit at you, and you can\'t just swallow everything that comes your way.\" Danni couldn’t understand why Vera was so calm. Avoiding Judith wouldn’t give her a fresh new slate, if anything, it meant she was letting Judith write her lin
Danni continued. \"Let Luna stay in that school, it’s bad for children to move to a different school in the middle of the school year. I’ll find a way. Don\'t worry too much about your job. A talented, multi-skilled woman like you will definitely find a job.\" Danni suddenly remembered something and continued talking. \"Oh...your field is software, right? Not just for mobile phones, but for any device?\" \"Well...I haven\'t gotten involved in games and the military. I wouldn’t say I can make software for any device, but I can learn. Plus, my strengths are not just software. I\'m very comfortable with the entire mobile phone. I can also do design.\" That was an understatement. The mobile phones she had designed and helped manufacture have won international awards. \"You’re such an amazing woman. Our company is working on a new type of surgical probe; we need software talents. I’ll recommend you.\" Danni knew that Sean had lost a lo
\"Daddy,\" Thomas said in a desperate voice. \"Dad, can’t you take me to school instead?\" Thomas didn\'t want to be hurt on the way to and from school, so he tried to negotiate. \"Why can\'t Mommy?\" Sean felt that Thomas was repelling Judith Song. Maybe Vera had taught him? \"It\'s not Mommy, you can\'t, you drop by when you go to work, if it\'s Mommy... I\'m afraid Mommy will get tired.\" Thomas covered it again. \"She is not busy, let her see you off every day.\" Sean turned and left after speaking. The next day Vera went to speak with the tenant, and the tenant agreed to let Vera live in a room. In this way, Vera moved the luggage out of the hotel again. It was a small comfort to her that she was now staying in a house that was left to them by her parents. The residence was settled, and she also decided to transfer Luna to a different school. Although it was not better than the original kin
