Margaret pursed her lips together and lowered her eyelashes. She laid back on his chest and asked “I don't understand why you did that, still. But, I trust you”

Jeremy's shoulders stiffened when he heard Margaret's latter sentence. Trust?

If she knew all the things he had done, would she still trust him?

“Father is a good person. And Nathan, he's a good kid. You have a wonderful family. Even master and madam were wonderful people, life is just an irony for letting good people die so quickly” She said

Jeremy's entire body felt like rock. His body stiffened. He couldn't move a muscle, even his heartbeat seemed to have reduced its pace

He has never really thought of the possibility of Margaret finding out about the things he has done.

Its shine and quality looked like it had more worth than Carter's entire being It's true. He looked like a wealthy man. Probably even more than Damon. What reason would he have to listen to Damon.

I mean, that boy that was chasing you” Jeremy asked “I have no clue. How do you want to help me? You see, I

    “Alright, mother” Damon responded. Ambrose's mother handed the phone back to Ambrose “Uhm… I-I'll see you tomorrow then” Since Ambrose's mother was unaware of her relationship with Damon, Ambrose didn't know how to talk to Damon in presence of her mother “Mhm.

There are other millions of girls to choose from”“Laura, don't be so harsh. If I had other choices, I wouldn't have come to you”“Exactly!

In fact, as we speak, I'm not calm”“Promise you won't get mad?”“Tell me the truth first”“Okay” Ambrose closed her eyes and opened them “Damon isn't actually Auntie Paula's son.

    “What?! Get your hands off me! Why am I being arrested? I have done nothing wrong!”Ella yelled as she struggled with the policemen. She tried to wiggle her wrists out of the cuffs, but they were to no avail “You're a suspect for the mastermind behind the kidnapping and attempted rape of Ambrose Kinn.
