Chapter 21

She looked at the oddly familiar name, and her eyes gradually filled with tears.Jamie quickly seized the moment and pulled her into his arms. His voice was gentle as he said, "When you first entered the orphanage, the staff changed your name because they were afraid it would be too painful for you to be reminded of your parents. The director's surname was Carter, and so they gave you a name that somewhat rhymed with it, Kara."Now, Kara is gone. The one still alive is Daddy and Mommy's little princess, Wilma. She's also my wife."Look, when we registered our marriage yesterday, Wilma was the name you used."Wilma looked at the gentle and affectionate man in front of her and nodded.She smiled and held back the tears in her eyes. "Yes, Kara died in that shipwreck. The one alive now is your wife, Wilma!"The two exchanged a smile. Jamie's Adam's apple moved up and down.Wilma immediately noticed the spark of desire burning in his eyes. She quickly lifted the hem of her skirt a l

Wilma bit her lip and held Jamie's hand tightly. Their fingers interlaced.Bennett seemed horrified. "Uncle Jamie, what's going on? Kara is my girlfriend. She's the woman I've vowed to love for the rest of my life! How could you–"He suddenly gasped as if realizing something. "I get it! Kara must've lost her memory after the shipwreck, right?"Kara, come here! It's me, Bennett! I'm your boyfriend, don't you remember?" he coaxed gently, but his face grew paler by the second when there was no response. Panic swept over him as his eyes locked onto her.Jamie frowned deeply. "Honey, go upstairs. I'll handle this," he said reassuringly to Wilma.Wilma shook her head.She was no longer the naive girl who'd once been so easily manipulated by Bennett. She had chosen Jamie, and she wasn't going to waver.Earlier, when Bennett lunged toward her, she clearly saw the look of worry and momentary lack of confidence in Jamie's eyes. Could a proud and distinguished man like him even be afraid o

Vanessa had been locked up in Northernvale for a week. Every day, she had to word hard. At night, she was even bullied by her roommates.Finally, one night, she escaped.Dressed in nothing but a thin tank top and shorts, she ran like a madwoman. As the distance between her and the dorm widened, her heart pounded faster and faster.She had to leave. She had to find Bennett. She was Natalie's sister. Bennett couldn't treat her like this."Damn it! That wretch is running. Get her!""When we catch her, we're not letting her off easy. We've not had any action for a while now. Let's have some fun with her.""Hell yeah, let's all take a turn!"Vanessa was horrified by the laughter behind her. The more scared she was, the less her limbs would cooperate.By the fifth time she fell, the men had caught up.Flashlights beamed harshly into her eyes as they rained kicks and punches on her."Run! Why aren't you running now, huh? Wretch, you think you can just escape from a place like this?"

The designers respectfully opened the velvet boxes one by one as the butler introduced each dazzling ring.The array of rare, radiant diamonds nearly blinded Wilma."Harry, I only need one ring for the wedding. Does Jamie want me to wear a ring on all ten fingers?"Each diamond was unique.Wilma was surprised, but also a little emotional. Jamie had really done a lot for her.She smiled sincerely. "Harry, you gathered all these gems in just a week. That must have been a lot of work.""Madam, you flatter me. I don't have the ability to pull this off in a week. These are all pieces Mr. Miles collected over the past decade or more!"It extends to clothes, handbags, and other jewelry. If he ever saw something he liked, he bought it and saved it."All just for the day you'd get to choose."Wilma's eyes shimmered.Jamie had been collecting these gems for over a decade.Was he that sure she'd marry him in the end?Just then, the sound of a familiar car engine could be heard outside

Chapter 25

The golden boy of Crestmoor once again made the front page.It all started when Bennett had another one of his episodes. He kneeled outside Jamie's estate every single day, refusing to leave no matter how many times someone tried to drive him away.He knelt for eight hours a day without fail and was more hardworking than most students.Naturally, the paparazzi picked up the scent and swarmed in."Bennett, did you make a mistake? Is your uncle punishing you by making you kneel?""Bennett, it's said that Mr. Jamie Miles's new bride, Wilma, looks exactly like your ex, Kara. Is that why you're kneeling here?""Are you here to repent?""Oh no, he fainted. Someone take a photo! That's tomorrow's headline!"The legendary golden boy of Crestmoor looked like a stray mutt. He was surrounded and photographed from every angle by reporters.Wilma stood by the floor-to-ceiling window on the second floor of the estate and observed coldly.Ever since Bennett arrived in Mendoria, he had been

The wind carried Wilma's words straight into Bennett's ears.They hit him like a truck.He was reaching into his pocket a moment ago, but he stopped. In it was the vasectomy paperwork he had brought along. It fell to the ground and was blown away by the wind.He stood there in a daze and watched Wilma, who was dressed in a black gown, step into Jamie's car. Hand in hand, the two disappeared from view.The vasectomy paperwork might as well have weighed a thousand pounds.Bennett had done it secretly at a small private clinic without telling anyone in the family. He only wanted to prove to Kara that he didn't come back to her for children. He wasn't here to make her a surrogate mother.This was his way of repenting and making amends.However, he never even got the chance to explain before Wilma tore him apart with her harsh words.Vanessa picked the paperwork up from the ground and threw her head back to laugh."Hahaha! Bennett, you actually got a vasectomy? This is the joke of
