Nora fainted and collapsed there and then.“Grandma!” Kyra yelled in worry and ran, but Russell responded faster and even reached Nora first. He picked her up in his arms and moved her to the shade first.“I’ll bring water. You call an ambulance and watch over her,” Russell told her and ran into the building.“Grandma,” Kyra moved Nora’s body, but the old lady wasn’t responding. Kyra’s eyes were clouded by the tears. “Why do you roam in the sun without even using an umbrella? You’re not young anymore. Even young people would be affected by the sun, so how could you…” as she was saying, Nora opened her eyes and sat up, leaving Kyra shell-shocked.Kyra made an expressionless face. “Y-You were acting?”“I thought you would get to me first, but your husband did,” Nora told her. “That’s what I expect from a man. He’s doing what he’s supposed to do whereas you’re crying and complaining about why I’m not using an umbrella.” Nora could only shake her head. “You may think you’ve experienced th

Inside the five-floored Natasha’s Mall.On the first floor, Skarlette was looking around in shock. “I can’t believe you bought this multiplex.” She wanted to kiss her sister so much, but because Natasha’s jaw was still recovering, she couldn’t do so. Buying a big mall like this used to be both of their dreams when they were kids. They used to talk about it when they came to the malls to watch movies, but they never took that dream seriously after growing into adults. But now, Natasha had bought it for a whopping eight million dollars. “As much as I love this place…” she whispered in her sister’s ear, “you didn’t invest everything into this mall, right?”Natasha shook her head and then spoke in a slow tone, “Instead of keeping all the money in the bank, I thought I should buy some assets. So, this is the third place I bought, and I still have a few million dollars in my bank account.”Skarlett was so impressed with her younger sister she couldn’t control herself anymore from giving a h

“What’s the deal with you and Jessica?”Where did that question come from? How did Nora know about him and Jessica? And how much did she know?All these questions rushed through Russell’s mind in a nanosecond.“She’s my best friend, that’s all,” Russell replied without taking too much time.“Oh, then it’s fine,” Nora looked a little relieved. “I mean, on the day Natasha rejected your proposal, your mom told me that Jessica likes you, and you might also reciprocate her love sooner or later. Whether you like Jessica or not, it doesn’t matter anymore because now you’re married to Kyra, and your loyalty should be to her and her only.”“Of course,” Russell agreed. “That goes without saying.”Russell could breathe better now that Nora came to know about Jessica through his mother and not because she had seen them walking down the street together or something like that.Meanwhile, in the Lynn estate.Viola was standing outside at the foyer, chatting on mobile.“How long are you going to wait

A few minutes earlier.Roddick filled the gift box with rare crystals and gemstones that were big and heavy. The box now weighed almost fifty pounds.Roddick had a strong physique, so he was able to carry that weight with a single hand without much of a problem.As he was giving the gift box to Nora, he purposely dropped it from a meter height. When the heavy gift box fell on Russell, there was an instant reaction.Russell’s cry echoed throughout the building. The cry was so loud everyone thought something very bad happened.The giftbox rolled down from Russell’s feet, and he began to jump on his toes crazily.“Don’t jump around, and remove the shoes,” both Regan and Nora said at the same time.William and Wendy rushed to the scene and helped Russell. They removed his shoes and made him sit on the couch, but the sharp throbbing pain didn’t let him sit quietly. He didn’t cry anymore, but he kept hissing in pain as William touched his feet and gently moved them to see his reaction.It d

Viola brought Russell over to meet his family members.Russell, however, did not talk with Arnold. He greeted Jennifer and also James, though the latter didn’t respond to him kindly.They took pictures with Nora and other members of the Lynn family.Regan went out of his way to take pictures with the Bennett family and Russell. Coincidentally, Jennifer also was captured in those pictures because she was tagging alongside Regan.Meanwhile, outside the building, William came to meet Gage for the first time.Gage was standing at Regan’s white Porsche, eating a flower that he had plucked from the garden.William offered him a drink. Gage didn’t refuse even though he wanted to.“I heard that you have a sixth degree black belt,” William said. “I’ve never seen someone so young be a sixth degree master.”“You talk as if you’re impressed,” Gage smiled slightly, “but I know that you used to be ranked in the top hundred in the underground martial arts company UTS which is spread across the world
