"Grandma called," Alison answered.She pointed her cell phone screen at Paula, and both of them looked unhappy. After being kicked out, Alison and Paula were very angry with Nora. They had done what was asked of them, only to be kicked out and even expelled from the family. It was not only embarrassing, but it hurt them both intensely. Paula also hung up the call. "Just turn it off if she calls again."Alison looked a little worried. "Is this okay?" She asked.Paula shook her hand. Leaving, she went to the fridge and grabbed the salad. She had just been kicked out of her family home, which made her upset and a little hungry. Paula sat on the sofa and ate the salad she had taken."Just turn it off. He already kicked us out. It's not our fault if we're angry," Paula replied. She went back to eating.As she ate, her cell phone suddenly rang. Without bothering, Paula immediately hung up the call. A moment later, she threw her cell phone away. She went back to eating and ignored all the c
Carson was run over by Jacob while walking, a wealthy young man who showed no guilt in doing so. Instead of apologising, Jacob scolded and demeaned Carson and his family in a tone full of contempt. Jacob is an athletic and well-proportioned man who reflects an active lifestyle and attention to fitness. His face is well-groomed, and his undercut haircut is stylish and organised. This time, he is wearing a tailored suit of premium silk and dark grey. The suit has a sharp cut, precision stitching, and a structured collar, bringing out a sense of elegance and class. He paired his suit with perfectly cut designer jeans and black Christian Louboutin Cloocloo Oxford shoes, which added a fashionable edge. With a condescending attitude, Jacob sarcastically commented, "How can poor people like you get into such an expensive restaurant?" Jacob's audacity to insult others came from his status as the young master of the Taylor family, one of the four wealthiest families in Springvale. The Taylo
It was noisy in there. They were talking about the battered Jacob. The commotion attracted the guard's attention, but when he looked at Carson, who looked terrible, he left immediately and chose to report to the restaurant manager instead. With the help of the restaurant manager, the guard could be added. If he was alone, he would not dare to face Carson. It wasn't long before the restaurant manager arrived. He didn't come alone. He went with a dozen guards. The restaurant manager's face immediately turned pale when he saw Jacob lying down. He knew Jacob was the young master of one of the prominent families. "Who did this?" the restaurant manager shouted. All fingers pointed in Carson's direction. Alison hugged her son, terrified. Trouble was brewing again, but they just wanted to eat. Nothing more than that. Alison looked at Carson, seeing that he was relaxed. This relieved her. The restaurant manager immediately pointed at Carson. "Arrest that person. No need to hold back. If
There was silence as the restaurant manager made a call. Alison and Paula didn't hear clearly who the restaurant manager was calling. Both of them were worried that the person on the phone was very influential. Blue Sky Restaurant was an expensive restaurant; of course, the owner was also a rich person. Unlike Alison and Paula, who were scared, he wasn't afraid. He didn't even stop what the restaurant manager was doing. It was even Carson who asked him to make that call. Now, even Carson was waiting for the results. He knew Roger very well."You'll regret it," the restaurant manager said. He waited for the call he made to connect. After a few seconds, the call finally connected. The restaurant manager smiled. He looked very arrogant."Sir, there's someone here making a scene."At that moment, Roger was furious. Hearing that someone was making a scene in his restaurant made him angry. This could not be allowed. Moreover, Roger was not in a good mood. He was in a bad mood because he h
Alison, Carson, Paula, and Charlotte walked straight to the exit. Carson had invited them to leave, but of course, he was very disappointed. He hoped he would get proper service and eat in peace with his little family. Instead, he was humiliated and attacked by so many people. Paula looked at Alison. "Who was that? Why did the restaurant manager leave immediately after he called?" Paula asked. She was curious, and she didn't know who Roger was. Alison scratched her head. She was remembering, too, and a moment later, she remembered a bad incident that happened a long time ago. When Joel almost defiled her, Roger was there, too. Alison recalled that Roger made Sergio and his family pull back all their troops. "That person is Roger. He was one of the general's subordinates. If I'm not mistaken," Alison replied. Paula nodded, and now she understood why all this had happened. Naturally, the manager of the sky-blue restaurant was scared. "It turns out that it was again because of the ge
Nora rushed to Alison's house, looking very anxious. Although her body was still trembling from her earlier fainting spell, and she hadn't eaten since waking up from her stupor, her determination to see Alison made her forget about her own health. The anxiety of his family going bankrupt outweighed his fear of getting sick. His pain and fatigue were overridden by a strong impulse to make things right. Arriving in front of Alison's house, the driver opened the car door, and Nora got out with the help of her two bodyguards. In her old age, Nora was already having trouble walking. She had to be helped. She has grandchildren, a sign of her age.Vivian immediately greeted Nora and helped her walk once in front of Alison's house. She explained in a disappointed tone that the house looked empty. "We knocked repeatedly, even peered through the glass, but there was no answer," Vivian said, her face showing desperation.Nora felt deep disappointment and frustration but didn't know how to expre
Nora had originally intended to let Vivian and George handle the situation, but seeing their helplessness, she finally made another decision. She stepped forward, stood before them, and faced Carson with the determination to protect her granddaughter."Grandma," Alison greeted softly.Nora didn't answer immediately, just stood still for a few seconds with a blank stare. Slowly, she sighed, trying to compose herself. Her smile seemed forced, but there was sincerity behind it. "I'm sorry," she said tremblingly, bowing slightly. "I made a big mistake in expelling your family. I wasn't thinking clearly at the time, just getting carried away with my emotions. I had no intention of hurting you. You are still part of our family, and I know an apology will not be enough."With a heavy heart. "I want to make amends, whatever I can do. I know it won't erase all wounds, but I will do whatever it takes to mend this relationship."There were a few tears in Nora's eyes, depicting deep regret, but
Nora felt squeezed into a difficult situation. She knelt before Carson and Alison, her face contorted with shame and anger. Although her displeased expression was evident, she still forced herself to bow to save her family and company from bankruptcy. Tears almost dripped from the corners of her eyes, indicating how difficult this decision was.Vivian and George, who saw the scene, could not contain their shock. Their eyes widened, and their faces turned reddish with anger. Vivian stood up with a trembling body, her hands clenched tightly. "What are you doing, huh?" her voice trembled with emotion. "This is a great insult to grandmother. Where is your conscience?" The veins on his forehead thickened.George could not contain the anger bubbling up inside him. His steps were fast and vigorous towards Carson, but he remembered the incident earlier. He changed his destination and looked at Alison, annoyed and angry. "Alison, you really have no gratitude," George quipped in an almost screa
