Elaine knew that if she was busted, she could be charged for gambling. Worse still, if her husband and daughter knew that she had gambled with such a large amount of money, they would be infuriated.She would be condemned for what she had done.Although the money was gone now, at least she did not end up worse than those people who were sent to the coal mine for the next one to two decades. Yet, she couldn’t help feeling depressed with the money and bangle lost.She could still explain herself about the broken bangle. She had taken the broken pieces with her anyway, she could tell her family that the bangle broke.What explanation should she come up with regarding the money?Jacob did not have his own bank account. All the household money was in her own hands, including the money her husband earned from reselling the antiques.Now, she had lost all the money to gambling. If Jacob were to find out about it, he would be extremely angry at her!Elaine was sighing in depression an

While Christopher indulged in his imagination, thinking about how to make Elaine his long-term cash withdrawal machine, Lady Wilson walked in from the outside with a gloomy expression.Christopher jumped from his seat and greeted, “Mom, you’re home! How’s everything?”Lady Wilson huffed indignantly and said, “The bank will soon start the bankruptcy liquidation process, they said that it will start next Monday. Once the process starts, they will seize this house. Where is the eight million that you promised? Why haven’t you transferred it to me yet?!”Christopher chuckled pretentiously. “Mom, stop rushing me. Didn’t I tell you that the money is stuck in the fixed deposit account? My fund manager is trying to withdraw it as soon as possible. I promised that I’ll give you the money, just be patient.”If possible, he didn’t want to give his mother even a penny. However, something changed his mind.He depended on Lady Wilson to inherit the anonymous assets that Lady Wilson had hidden a

Upon hearing the words ‘Thompson First’, Lady Wilson’s eyes opened so wide they almost popped out of her eye sockets.She had coveted Charlie’s new villa for a long time and even in her dreams, she wanted to move into the house so badly.In fact, she hoped she could die in the house.There were some superstitions and sayings among the folk, such as it is best not to die in the hospital because you might not find the way home.Another one was it is best to wear your shroud before you die because you might be naked when you go to the afterlife.Yet another example was that if you die in a mansion, you would be able to reincarnate into a wealthy family in your next life and enjoy the glory and wealth.Therefore, Lady Wilson longed that she could live in a top-notch luxury villa like Thompson First until the day she died.The other day, she had directed Harold to rob the villa but ended with horrible consequences. Harold and his bodyguards had been beaten up terribly.Since then, s

Christopher shouted angrily into the phone, “Elaine, you’re slinging mud—that’s a pack of f*cking lies!”Elaine blurted anxiously, “Oh, don’t you believe me? Fine! If you can find Hannah, I’ll admit defeat!”“What do you mean?”“Go and figure it out yourself! I’m very tired now, I don’t want to talk to you anymore!”Immediately, Elaine ended the call.Christopher almost smashed the phone with anger when he heard the busy tone on the phone.Harold caught his arms hurriedly and said, “Dad, calm down! The priority right now is to find Mom!”Unfortunately, Harold didn’t know that his mother was on the way to the gullies in Erith and it was utterly impossible for the Wilson family to find her with their resources.Wendy leaned against her father and persuaded, “Yeah, Dad! Don’t be so mad! What did the b*tch say?”Christopher huffed indignantly, “Elaine said that your mom has an affair with some dude and that she eloped with him!”“What?!” Harold, Wendy, and Lady Wilson looked shoc

Never did Lady Wilson expect that the cowardly Jacob would be so gutsy and confident in front of her!She couldn’t help feeling angry and frustrated!For decades, she had been suppressing Jacob using her majesty and authority, and Jacob had never been able to resist or even refute her bossiness.He didn’t even dare to object when she kicked him out of the Wilson family house.But now, he dared to say such things to her!He had become bold and brazen, didn’t he?!He didn’t want such a mother?! How the hell dare he spout such a rebellious remark!This was outrageous!Just when she blew a gasket and wanted to pick a bone with them to solidify her dignity, Christopher, on the other hand, stood humbly and said, “Charlie, we aren’t here to look for trouble today, I have something very urgent that I need to ask Elaine, so could you please ask her to come out quickly?”Charlie knew that Christopher must be here because of Hannah, but he wouldn’t know, not even in his dreams, that Hann
