Semua Bab Love's Masquerade: Bab 201 - Bab 210

Lukas looked furious. "You wouldn't believe the drama I witnessed when I arrived yesterday. You remember Mrs. Rockley from that day at the restaurant, right? The one who appears rather imposing."It's evident that she's carrying all the weight, but there doesn't seem to be much going on in her head. Throughout the years, as Mr. Rockley toiled away, she seemed to have devoted herself to nothing but indulging in food and drink."He continued, "It's bad enough that she funneled the family's money to support her gambling-addicted big brother. To add to the chaos, she's been engaging in some shady dealings."Mr. Rockley had an explosive confrontation with her. It's a shame you missed it; it was a scene worthy of a dramatic novel. The sort of spectacle you'd never expect in real life." He shook his head and mocked.Faye lowered her gaze, surprised by Mrs. Rockley's stupidity. The Rockley family originally had a bright future ahead, having gained the attention of the Garcia family. Howe

Lizzie hoped that Faye would spare Tracy. "Your sister is training in Jorn City and she will likely build her career here. It doesn't matter where your dad and I go, but I want you to allow her to stay here," Lizzie stated, her gaze fixed on Faye with the utmost seriousness."She isn't a bad person, just a little stubborn. "The Lynch family is done for—there's no hope for her and Anthon's relationship anymore. It's Anthon's fault for not being faithful in the past. Your sister has always felt guilty for making such a mistake."Faye didn't believe a single word Lizzie said, but didn't deny her request. "So long as she stays out of my way, I won't do anything to her. However, let me be clear about this. If she comes looking for trouble, I won't show any mercy."Lizzie's expression turned grim. "Why would you say that? Your sister has always been gentle and understanding. She only did all those things because she was bewitched by Anthon."Faye didn't want to waste her time on Li

Clint woke up early, and to his surprise, Lizzie was nowhere to be found. He immediately called her, saying that the potential buyer for the villa and the agent were scheduled to arrive at ten for a house inspection.He asked if she had obtained Flora's signature to which Lizzie replied that she had gotten it done, and that she was already on her way back.Clint sat in a chair, massaging forehead, wondering how he had fallen into such deep sleep the night before. He had set an alarm with the intention of waking up early to accompany Lizzie and deal with the house matters. However, by the time he had roused, it was already past nine.Unable to leave home at this point, he freshened up and relaxed, confirming with both the agent and Lizzie that the house was ready to be sold.He walked to the second-floor balcony. Gazing at the spacious courtyard and the luxurious decor, there was a hint of resentment in his eyes. "Just wait, Flora. I might be selling this villa today, but I'll

On the phone, Clint spoke with a respectful tone."It's ready. The money should be in my account within two hours, but there's a problem on my end right now ..."Faye smiled lazily. "There's been a transfer of Brown Corporation's shares, correct?"Clint paused, then asked frantically, "Who are you? How do you know about this?"Faye chuckled. "Did you think I'd be willing to assist with the Brown Corporation situation without monitoring its progress? A major event like a share transfer couldn't possibly escape my attention.""I'm not sure if that defiant daughter of mine has completed the share transfer process. If she has, Brown Corporation is no longer mine and there's no need for me to waste effort on its revival," Clint said with a hint of resignation. However, this time, there was no sign of the anger he had displayed upon first learning about the share transfer.From the tone of his voice, it sounded as though he was using an implicit threat, suggesting he might withhold p

Outside the door, Clint and Lizzie were eventually taken away by the police and silence soon returned to the hospital.Flora asked in concern, "What's going to happen to them?""Mom, do you still care about Clint even now?" Faye looked at Flora and teased. She recalled the words Lizzie had said to her mother before and couldn't help but study Flora's expression carefully. Flora sneered. "Care about him? Are you kidding? That big jerk is incompetent, obsessed with his pride, and is ruthless. I'm so fed up with him that I wished I had personally finished him off."Flora became increasingly exasperated as she continued, "Had I not been saving up for your dowry to ensure a better life for you when you returned to the country, I might have died on my sickbed a long time ago."Although Clint had covered the majority of her medical expenses during the initial years, that had only been the case for the first few years. After that, Flora had shouldered most of the other expenses herself
