It was past 7PM. Tiffany drove her car near her housing area and lingered hesitantly. The new information that the private eye had sent an hour ago kept on replaying in her mind — there was something wrong with Grant Jackson.She had initially intended on trusting her mother’s instincts or personally getting to know Grant. However, for some reason, the scales in her mind were tipped towards the detective whom she had never met. She was hesitating over whether to go upstairs and advise Lillian against dating Grant. She knew that once she said these words, there would be another war. She did not want her relationship with Lillian to return to how it used to be.After a long bout of hesitation, she typed out a message to the private eye: Is your information accurate? This is very important to me. What’s wrong with Grant Jackson? Could you please elaborate?A reply soon followed: ‘You are considered an old client of mine now. Shouldn’t you know if the information is accurate? I’ve been inv

Tiffany rose to her feet, “Let me ask you, how well do you know Grant?”Lillian was equally enraged, “He’s known your father for many years; he’s even held you when you were a baby! How could I not know him? He’s not that good looking, but he’s a good man. Isn’t that enough? Besides, he comes from a good family background. I won’t have to worry about my future. I don’t have to rely on you for survival!”Tiffany’s rage flared up even more when she heard Lillian defending Grant, “Yes, he’s known my father for many years, but it’s all just superficial, isn’t it? He’s very ugly, there’s no doubt there, but I’m not emphasizing on looks. Let’s look at some facts; where was he when our family was bankrupt and needed help the most? He never showed his face. Don’t you think that it’s a bit too coincidental that he’s come knocking on your door now? Him? A good man? You know nothing! Did you know that he’s only been divorced for less than half a year? Did you know why he divorced? Has he told you

The designated driver stepped forward to support her, “Where’s your car?”She pointed towards the side of the road, “Over there.”The designated driver was taken aback, “I’ve… never driven this car before…”All Tiffany wanted to do now was to go home and sleep, “It’s fine. Drive slowly and think of it as an average car instead of an expensive vehicle. You don’t need to pay for a thing if you bump into anything. Just make sure I stay alive.”Hearing this, the woman helped her into her car without hesitation.She thought that Jackson would have long gone to bed by the time she arrived at White Water Bay villa. Instead, the light in the downstairs living room was still turned on. When she walked in, she was faced with a sour-faced Jackson, glowering at her from the couch.She felt guilty. “Why are you still up?” she asked, with a slight lisp.Jackson didn’t answer. He walked upstairs, looking very sullen.She inadvertently saw the untouched food on the table, which he had come home to coo

She smacked his hand away. Memories from last night slowly trickled back into her mind. She was now completely out of sorts. She had actually done such a thing!Jackson frowned, “What? You were just apologizing, but now you’ve become hostile? I’m still angry…”She was speechless and chose to slip away, “I… I didn’t do anything wrong anyway. At least, nothing concerning. I’ve apologized, so we’re even. I’ve got work to do!” Then, she stood up and got ready to leave, but he pulled her back down, “One more time, the office is quite empty now…”She felt that he had gone crazy. This was the office, “No! Let me go! We’ll talk about this at home!”He refused to comply. He bent forward and sucked on her earlobe. His teasing nearly drove her to the brink. She struggled half-heartedly, nearly giving in. Fear brought a different kind of high. She was only afraid that someone from the office might burst in. She clearly remembered not locking the door… She was extremely red in the face when she em

Her husband was promptly silenced. He turned around and left in a huff.Mark listened to the doctor’s explanation in the hospital. His expression gradually sank.The doctor looked very sombre. “She’s at such an old age, and the weather is bad. She should have been well taken care of. They should have paid close attention to her once she caught continuous bouts of fever. How could it have developed into acute pneumonia? I really can’t understand what her dependents were doing. The old lady was already unconscious by the time she was sent here. This wouldn’t have happened if the fever hadn’t gone on for three days. Didn’t the family notice the fever at all over the past few days? We can only keep her alive with an oxygen tank and medicine now. The fever hasn’t subsided, so the critical stage isn’t over yet. After all, she’s not young anymore. You’d better prepare yourselves.”Mark balled his hands into fists. “Please, do your best. Medical fees won’t be a problem. Use every medication an
