When he said that, Roxanne had no choice but to make her stance. “How about this? I’ll give you some money so you can rent yourself a place to stay in and start up a business. What do you think?” Roxanne took out a card and handed it to Calvin. “There’s a hundred thousand dollars in here that I’ve saved up over the years. You can use it however you like.” “Do business? You think I have that sort of talent?” Calvin shook his head as he chuckled coldly inwardly. That b*tch Roxanne had done such horrible things to him, but she was hoping to get rid of him using a hundred thousand dollars. Did she think he was a beggar? “You should keep this money yourself. Let me stay here for a few days, and I’ll look for a job once I’ve familiarised myself with the surrounding area. When that happens, you and I can be together again.” Roxanne had anticipated that Calvin would not be so easy to get rid of, and she sighed. “Calvin, you were in prison for so many years. I couldn’t have remained single

Sarah had been wondering why Susan’s phone had been turned off recently, but not even in her wildest dreams would she have thought that Susan was dead. She was so shocked that she gasped out loud. “You’ve worked at the Miller house for so long, and Mr. Miller’s fiancé is also the Secretary’s beloved daughter. You must know the Secretary’s wife well, don’t you?” “I just know her.”“I heard that the Secretary’s wife died in a car crash, and she was buried in a private funeral. That’s what everyone finds confusing. You would think they would at least inform their friends and family, right? She was buried so quietly that one can’t help but think there’s something odd going on!” “What else did you hear?” “I also heard that the Secretary’s wife was involved in some shady business before this. She was probably caught in the act. Either way, it wasn’t anything good.” Sarah’s heart thumped loudly. Could Jared have gotten rid of Susan after finding out what she had done? In that case,

Ella was still deep in thought when Linda pushed the door open and walked in with a bowl. “Ms. Ella, you haven’t fallen asleep yet?” Ella nodded. Linda handed over the bowl she was holding and said, “I noticed you hadn’t eaten much during dinner, so I prepared you some bird’s nest. Try it.” “Thank you, Linda!” Ella was touched. “No need to thank me. You’re pregnant now, and you should take more nutritious food. It’s our duty to make sure you’re taken care of.” The smile on Ella’s face faded when she heard Linda say that. Why should they be bothered about nutrition when they did not even know if she could continue carrying the baby? Linda had been working at the Turner family for so many years that she was now an expert at gauging people’s moods from the look on their faces. She knew that Ella was feeling nervous when she saw the look on her face, and thus asked tentatively, “Ms. Ella, what are you thinking now?” Ella had a complicated look on her face as she glanced at Lind

“Terminal stage stomach cancer!” the doctor replied. “How is that possible?” Yvonne thought she had misheard him and widened her eyes as she stared at the doctor. “Could there have been a mistake?” “There wouldn’t have been a mistake. We’ve already asked an expert to confirm the diagnoses…” the doctor sighed. Yvonne’s mood sank to the deepest of pits. She would not have imagined that this would happen even in her wildest dreams. She had hated Jared, but she had never thought he would be diagnosed with an illness as terminal as such. “Doctor, is there any way he could be cured?” The doctor shook his head. “All we can do is try to prolong his life as much as possible…” Yvonne’s footsteps were heavy as she walked into the emergency room, where Jared had already regained consciousness. Tears appeared in his eyes when he saw Yvonne. “Yvonne… my daughter!” When Yvonne saw Jared, her nose became stuffy as tears welled and then flowed from her eyes. “Dad!” This was the first ti

“Don’t worry, I’m not that stupid,” Calvin said as he grinned. “As long as you listen to me and remain obedient, I won’t tell anyone about what happened.” Roxanne had no other choice and decided she would let Calvin have his way for a few more days before getting rid of him. Jared had not told Yvonne about how there would be an internal investigation launched against him, and Yvonne was shocked when Ms. Lane called her and told her about it. She immediately raced to the hospital. Yvonne did not know what had happened, but she guessed that it had something to do with Jared’s government job and that it was connected to the phone call he had received before his illness struck. She decided to ask Jared herself at the hospital. She raced over to the hospital’s wards, where the elevator doors opened the minute she walked up to them. Yvonne stared in shock as Jared was helped out by two other people. “Dad!” She did not finish the rest of her sentence because she noticed that her f
