LOGINRemi didn't care about the so-called superior schooling. She was willing to work very hard to make money and give Ian the best life she could. She only wanted him to be happy and healthy. Would he do big things or not? That didn't matter to her at all. Theo, Simon, and Lacy were all as cold-hearted as selfish as they could be. Remi was scared that Ian might become one of them. She made all the plans herself after she decided to take Ian with her. She made all the arrangements for the trip, including booking the flights, accommodations, and itinerary. But at the very last minute, she realized that she hadn't requested for Ian to take time off. She hastily sent a note to Ian’s homeroom teacher saying that he was leaving. But she had entirely forgotten that she had changed her number. The teacher thought the leave note was strange. The teacher then called Lacy to be sure. The teacher remarked in a pleasant but curious voice on the phone, "Mr. Web, I have a leave request for Ian. I'm
There was no such thing as giving without expecting anything in return. Vivian had been aware of Bernice’z calculated flattery for a long time. In the high-class world of the Web, every good word and smile was full of self-interest. She didn't say anything. Bernice was also quite nice and well-behaved compared to Remi. Lacy’s arrival changed Bernice’s flattery from a compliment to a weapon. Vivian didn't want to deal with the situation, so she ignored it and left her texts unread. Then she went outside to play cards with her buddies. Bernice had been waiting a long time for an answer. Even though she was bewildered, she made the smart choice not to press it any further. She stopped by the villa and left the food. As she was about to leave, she casually asked one of the staff, "Hey, did Aunt. Vivian go to the spa or something today? It's becoming late, and she still hasn't come back.”The servant didn't think twice and said, "Mrs. Web just left." Bernice was surprised and raised a
Remi didn't know why Lacy suddenly stopped. She thought he was a selfish father who just cared about his mistress and didn't care about his son. "Do you know what Ian said when he woke up?" she inquired with a smirk. Lacy looked up without saying anything. Remi’s voice was full of sarcasm. "He asked, 'Why didn't Dad come to see me in the hospital?'" Lacy knew she was mad, so he kept his voice calm. "No one wants to be in that situation. You can blame me for it, but Remi, violence isn't your thing. You hurt Bernice. I need to calm her down and explain things to her." Remi laughed in a mean way. How funny. What type of "explanation" are you talking about? She didn't bother to guess; it was a waste of time. "I've found more bruises on Ian again. I'm going to call the police and have them look into it. Bernice won't be able to get away with the abuse claim. You are a bad father, and you have no right to custody." Lacy remained there for a bit and then murmured softly, "I'm sorry f
Even with the door shut, the screams coming from the bathroom were enough to make your hair stand on end. Lacy tried to break down the door by ramming it, but it didn't work. With a frown, he told Ivan, "Go to the nurse's station and get tools to break this door down." Ivan quickly left to look for anything. Lacy hit the door. "Calm down, Remi!" Remi was holding Bernice by the back of her neck and pushing her head into the water without mercy. "Bernice Green, I've put up with you over and over again, but that doesn't mean I don't get angry. You should stop being so sneaky!”Bernice weakly fought back, trying to scream for aid, but every time she opened her mouth, she choked on water and gasped for air. There was a loud thumping noise coming from outside; they were trying to break down the door. Remi looked back. She pulled Bernice out and hurled her to the ground when she saw that the lock was going to break. Bernice was lying there with a pale face, coughing up water, and not
"Get it!" Ian put his hands on his hips and scowled at Bernice with all the strength he could conjure in his small body. "Pick it up right now, or I'll tell Daddy!" Bernice squeezed her fists firmly to keep from hitting him. She bent down and said, "Ian, food gets dirty when it's in the trash. Dirty food is not good for us. I don't want to eat it!" She squeezed Ian’s leg firmly when Ivan wasn't looking. Ian yelled in anguish and glared at her. "Keep causing problems, and you'll be sorry.”She hissed in a threatening way. She still felt Ian was the same innocent kid he had been six months before. Ian had become much smarter after living with Remi. He threw himself to the ground on purpose and started crying loudly and dramatically. People passing by couldn't help but notice his cute features and sad cries. "What's wrong, little one?" someone asked. Ian pointed to Bernice. "She hit me!" "How could you be so violent?" "Can't you just talk it out?" "That's right! It is against the
Lacy stared at Bernice with frigid eyes, and an unfathomable anger sprang in his chest. He still took the tissue and wiped her tears away, though, since he felt he had to. "It has nothing to do with your family." "Then what is it?" Lacy dodged the question more and more as she pushed for an answer. He rose up and looked down at her. "You're too emotional right now. The driver will take you home. Mason will take care of any problems you have with the trendy company.”“I won't go until you tell me what you want!" Lacy exhaled in anger and said, "Bernice, don't be like this." "Is it because of Remi? You've grown to care about her, haven't you?" "No." His refusal was strong and clear. She held on to him for dear life. "I'll be the best wife. I won't do anything you don't want me to. We can sleep in different beds if you don't want to sleep with me. Lacy, I need your help—real, open help. You might call me greedy or materialistic, but I couldn't go back to the days when debt collect
