A servant stood behind Madam Vanessa and poured wine into her glass cup, Major Xo entered and greeted with his head bow.“Manager Xo, you are too humble, I don't even dare to look you in the face anymore,” Madam Vanessa said with a big smile on her face.Manager Xo cursed his son in his heart “Madam Vanessa, punish me, I failed to discipline my son” he said, with his knees on the marbled floor.“Oh!” Madam Vanessa exclaimed like she is shocked, and a playful smile appeared on her face.“Should I help you?” she snickered, Major Xo's lips parted and closed, and his body trembled violently.He cupped his hands “Madam Vanessa, I am here to atone for his sins, I will discipline him” he said with gritted teeth.Madam Vanessa glanced at him and said nothing, a group of people entered the house carrying boxes of gifts.Madam Vanessa nodded and gestured for him to stand, “you don't mind if your son stays with us for two days” she requested.Major Xo shook his head in fear, “I don't mind at all
The man wearing a hat stood rooted for some time “I am not an easy kill, I have a daughter that I will take care of” he snorted, and left.Madam Vanessa squinted her eyes at the back of the man who is leaving, and she had ominous feelings.Bass standing behind finally speak “Madam Vanessa, I think he is aware that Mora is your daughter and his, we can't take this matter lightly”Madam Vanessa agreed with a nod “we can't allow those bunch of bastards to have a foothold in my family, make sure, Lycan doesn't find out”“I will do as you have instructed” Bass affirmed.The man wearing a hat came out of the deserted clubhouse, and met with nervous Mr. Stones, “what is it?” he asked coldly.“The goods have arrived, we have to create a safe passage to the capital” Mr. Stones informed.“Got it” the man wearing a hat replied, and entered the car, the two of them left the premises.--The next morning, Mora woke up with a big smile on her face, she caressed her stomach, and a warm current sprea
The agent, hearing what Mora said, flared up, “nonsense, how dare you reject Master Kane's offer? Do you want to die poor? Do you have dog shit as brain?” he scolded Mora menacingly.Kane secretly pleased, waved his hand “stop, she doesn't know who I am” he said, and exposed his mouthful of white teeth.Mora got up and left the office, annoyed by their overbearing attitude, the agent gaped at Mora's retreating figure and didn't blink at all.He smiled fawningly “Master Kane, don't worry about her, I will go talk senses into her head…”“Forget it!” Kane retorted, he felt insulted but doesn't want to react rashly.Mora came out frowning, she doesn't know where else to go, and the other agents don't have good housing like the one she left.She stood there for some time, not knowing what to do, she doesn't realize she is being watched.Mr. Stones was the first to speak up, “Boss, do you think she paid for the house?” Mr. Stones inquired.“There is one way to find out” the man wearing a ha
Mora was stunned to see the Agent at the door, but the Agent smiled sheepishly with respectful posturing, he stretched out his two hands holding a package.“Please, come in” Mora ushered him in, the Agent took a step forward and a cold chill ran down his spine, and he paused immediately.Cold sweat covered his back, “Miss Mora, there is no need for that, this package is for you”Mora frowned when she noticed his strange behaviour, he knew the Agent is someone who only takes the rich seriously.“I am sorry, sir if you are sent by Master Kane, I have made myself clear, I am not going on a date with him, please, return his gift”The Agent shook his head, “not at all, I will lose my job if you don't take this” he said and forced an unnatural smile.“What is the matter, dear?” Mama Sarah inquired and strode over.“I can't take it” Mora rejected.He knew things are not looking too good “Miss Mora, this wasn't bought as a gift for you, this has to do with the reputation of our firm, the owne
Mora didn't want to create a ruckus in the gathering, it was a big surprise to her that they were invited, she grabbed her mother's wrist.And shook her head, “Mother, please don't go and confront them” she tried to persuade her.Mama Sarah was upset, “those oldies are full of shit, how dare they look down on us because we are peasants?” she complained bitterly, even Mora smiled bitterly.Mayor Lycan felt uncomfortable hearing those high officials target peasants, “I will take my leave” he said, and excused himself from the gathering.He went over to see his mother, “Mom, who do you say I should look out for when he comes?” he inquired.“Forget about it” Madam Vanessa responded, she has gotten information that he is no longer coming.“Miss Agora, please, remember to introduce your father to us when he comes” one of the men Pretty mobilized requested.She waved her slender arm “of course, I will, I will introduce you, people, to him in person," she promised.The men beamed “as expected
And came over to the parking lot area in the mansion, “have you convinced him?” a voice said from inside a car.“Yes, how about your promise?” he inquired.“It will be taken care of” the voice from inside the car assured, he nodded and returned to the party area.The car drove out of the mansion, Madam Vanessa accompanied by Mora went about greeting guests who came to the engagement party.A rich scion approached them and exchanged pleasantry, “Madam Vanessa, who is the pretty flower by your side?” he inquired, sizing up Mora.Madam Vanessa smiled, “Oh, she is my daughter” she introduced Mora.“Say hello to Steven” he urged Mora, who stretched forth her arm, Steven took it, and the handshake lingered.Lycan who was watching it frowned deeply, “is she your daughter?” Steven asked once again, bewildered because he knew Madam Vanessa had only two sons and no daughter.Madam Vanessa read the meaning in his words “no, but, she is my adopted daughter” she responded.Steven's eyes lit up “Ma
Discontent comments filled the environment, some people even made their voices louder, and Madam Vanessa narrowed her eyes at Mora.Mr. Chu was displeased, “Vanessa, did you know about this arrangement? How did a lowly peasant get on stage?”Madam Vanessa's face darkened, her daughter was being ridiculed “Mr. Chu, don't say anything further” she said coldly.Mr. Chu and his wife swallowed the words that they wanted to say, Pretty was disgruntled, she glared at Mora, and even have the idea of beating her off the stage.Mama Sarah seeing Mora on stage stood on her feet and cheered “sing, Mora” she said loudly, attracting attention.“What is an uneducated woman doing here?” one of the audience berated.Another chimed, “that is the mother of the child on stage, peasants”At the mention of peasants, the guests became even more displeased, they were utterly unhappy.Mora grabbed the microphone and started singing “love floating like stars, in the sky, below is us, seeing it, up there, it wi
Mora took a deep breath, her heart beating wildly, “Mayor, were you in the valentine party hosted at Santiago?” she asked, looking straight at his face.Her breathing quickened, and she became extremely nervous, Mayor Lycan tried to remember, but couldn't, he closed and opened his eyes.“I can't remember” he muttered, Mora narrowed her shining eyes at him.“Philip was there,” she said and frowned.Mayor Lycan squinted his eyes at her, “why did you ask?” he inquired curiously, she became startled all of a sudden.“Nothing, since you are not there, then, there is no need,” she said with a tone of disappointment and walked away.She hasn't taken three steps away when he grabbed her wrist, her heart beat wildly, and butterflies floated in her stomach.She turned around and gave Mayor Lycan an askance look, “is anything the matter?”He didn't say anything, he shifted strands of her hair covering her ear, he took a deep breath and looked at her beautiful face“I always had this image, that
