Samantha curled her lips and smiled. “Do you think Thaddeus would make a bad business call? If my guess is right, the necklace should be for Mona. You, poor man. You waited for more than a decade only for your first love to be taken by your uncle. You’re no better than I am.” Envy and resentment flickered across Victor’s eyes. Gritting his teeth, he said, “They aren’t married, and even if they are, divorce is highly possible. There’s no telling who will be the last one laughing.” Samantha clicked her tongue and shook her head. “It sounds like someone is not planning to give up. They have children together. Do you think you still stand a chance?” “What about you? You cooked up an elaborate scheme, only to be on the losing end. Do you think you can ever call it quits?”The expression on Samantha’s face stiffened, making her look guilty of something. “What do you mean by an elaborate scheme?” Raising a brow, Victor smiled in disdain. “Susan’s fall into the sea wasn’t an acc

It was a good example right now. Thaddeus got Mona the most expensive gift to show his feelings to her since no woman could resist jewelry. It was a romantic gesture to reflect that she was the only one for him. However, it backfired on him. He seemed to have gone about it the wrong way. Thaddeus stood at the door for a while, only turning around and leaving when he was sure that Mona would not open the door for him. On his way back, Thaddeus got a call from his employee that the woman Samantha mentioned had been located. She was Susan’s mother, and the employee needed Thaddeus to make a trip over to confirm if this was the case. After much thought, the man turned around and took the highway to the destination. …It was late into the night when Mona lay in bed. Thaddeus’ visit swept away her drowsiness, and now she tossed and turned in bed. The phone on her bedside table beeped. She took her phone and saw a notification of a mail. The sender was none other than the myster

“I’m not too sure about that, but Mr. Fontaine is there to talk business.” In fact, Marcus knew what was going on. Thaddeus went to Neuffield to meet Mona’s mother. However, it was not something he could tell Mona. At the very least, it should not come from Marcus. “Alright. I got it. No need to get in touch with him. It can wait. I’ll talk to him when he comes back.” “Alright, Ms. Ortega. Just let me know if you need anything at all.” After hanging up the call, Mona hesitated for a bit but dialed Thaddeus’ number in the end. The phone rang for a while before it was connected. “What’s the matter?” The man’s husky voice was heard on the other end. “Nothing. I wanted to ask you when you intend to visit the kids.” “Why? Do the kids miss me?” The man’s tone reflected delight. It was the best thing in the world to feel needed by the children. “Yes. They’ve been talking about their trip with you to the amusement park this morning. Are you free today? Do you want to take them

Victor was all over Mona’s face like gum to a shoe. Not knowing what to do, Mona quickened the pace and turned the corner, only to bump into someone. The person’s rock-hard chest nearly crushed her nose. She lifted her chin and saw that it was Raymond. Standing next to him, Isabel was giving Mona the death stare. Seeing that it was Mona, Raymond stopped her. “I finally caught you. You won’t take my calls or answer my texts. You just quit without saying a word. I see you grew some balls.” “I got a job lined up. I have already gone through the resignation formalities.” Mona made it clear that she was not coming back, leaving out her personal conflict with Isabel even though it was the real reason for her quitting. She did not want to put Raymond in the spot, so she chose to keep mum. Raymond had a clear idea of the situation. Although he wanted to retain her, Mona had made up her mind. There was nothing much he could say. “Why were you in a hurry to leave? What? Was someone

“Isabel again? Why can’t she quit it? Nothing good ever happens whenever you run into her. Who won the fight?” Linda gave the vegetables a rinse. “Duh. Me. She slapped me, but I mounted on her and pulled all the hair out of her.” Mona flung her hair back. Satisfied, Linda smiled. “She deserved it. It’s high time someone teaches her a lesson.” Mona popped her head out to check on the kids and nudged Linda with her elbow. “Hey, I’m telling you now. You’d better play along when the kids ask about my face. Just say that I had an allergic reaction to the makeup. The kids catch on quickly, so you should put on the best show of your life.” Linda gave her an OK sign to say she got it covered. The pair were busy in the kitchen when the doorbell rang. After an exchange of looks, Mona went to open the door. Standing at the door, Victor had a bag in hand. It contained a few bottles of medicine. “What’s this about?” “I got medicine for you from the hospital. Does your face hurt?”
