Seeing how Ross was treating Mollie with respect, Ivy could neither smile nor cry. Ross didn’t greet her so heartwarmingly, even though she was Ben’s mother.“I heard that he’s a calculative man,” Ivy thought. “So why is he giving importance to that old woman? She has nothing backing her. Even the clothes she wears are not bought by her. That’s her condition, which she foolishly brought upon herself by giving away her wealth to her sons. So, she deserves all the pain she gets in this old age. There’s no need for anybody to show pity on her as it was all her fault.”Ross left Mollie with his parents and then left to entertain other guests. He met Sofia Myers. “How’s your family doing, ma’am?” He respectfully asked her as she was not only the daughter of a billionaire family but was also successful in running her company along with her parents, which was why Ross had a special respect for her.“I’m sorry that they couldn’t come here today,” Sofia replied with a smile, “but I’m sure they
Ulmer was just checking out the strings made out of leaves. “What the… are these leaves plastic? Well, at least the flowers are not plastic.”Ross came up to him with his hands in his pockets. “You sure have luck on your side, young man.”“Mm?” Ulmer turned to face Ross. “Luck on my side? What made you say that, sir?”“I was wondering which post I should give to you in my company so that it would benefit both of us,” Ross said. “I wasn’t able to come to a decision as I don’t know your skills. However, one person saw that you already possess good looks, and she wants to make you a model for her brand.”“Me? A model?” Ulmer chortled. “You're joking, right?”“Don’t be so humble. You are a handsome dude, and this suit makes you look like a gentleman,” Ross said. “You will definitely pass for a good male model. If you’re lucky, you’ll earn far more as a model than you can in my company.”“Male models earn less than female models, don’t they?” Ulmer said. “So I have to be really at the top
Ulmer hesitantly approached her. He could already see that many men had their eyes on Sofia Myers who had a seductive charm around her. She was like the perfectly ripened fruit that anybody would desire to bite and eat.Ulmer, however, was not experienced in the matters of the bed. He only had sex with a woman once so far, and that was with his wife Ayana not long ago. So, he didn’t feel as much of a pull as other married men in that hall, thanks to his inexperience in the field of sex.In fact, Ulmer did not feel tempted to even talk to her because he was still relatively a newly married man, and his heart was still growing in love for Ayana. While he would admit that Sofia was a beautiful woman, it was also not a lie that he was not tempted by her feminine charm like most others in that hall did right now.“U-Um, excuse me?” Ulmer softly called the voluptuous woman from behind. “Mrs. Sofia?”Sofia did ‘NOT’ like the ‘Mrs,’ part, so she turned around and spared him a cold glance. “WH
Mollie was happily spending time with Calvin and Fiona and other old people. Because Calvin and Fiona were giving her respect and attention, the other old people also were friendly with Mollie.Mollie wasn’t expecting to even be noticed by anybody because she had experienced a lot of things in her life. There were times when she went to parties and was well received when her financial condition was good, and people would try to make deals with her, but when her financial condition wasn’t good, nobody even cared to greet her and spend a few minutes with her. And her situation became even more pitiable after she gave all of her money and property to her sons. Nobody would even answer her calls.In this party, Mollie didn’t have any burdens. She could just talk freely and give her opinions on this and that.But her expression changed when a certain family entered the house. It was Jude and his wife Kristi and Jude’s parents.Mollie stopped talking and remained seated, trying to hide hers
“You both seem to be having real fun without me. That’s not fair at all,” Jude said. “Let me join the conversation, too. What do you say, Ulmer? I almost couldn’t recognize you, my nephew. You look dope in this suit. I’m sure all the girls are going to drool-”Jude suddenly stopped talking because something tightly gripped his crotch.Jude’s eyes shifted down and noticed Ulmer’s hand.Ulmer didn’t even turn back but still managed to precisely grab Jude’s precious jewels. As Ulmer put more strength into the grip, Jude’s expression worsened.Fiona covered her mouth in a bit of a shock, whereas Calvin seemed a little surprised.“Ulmer, what are you doing?” Mollie hissed at him in a low voice. “Remove your hand. He’s your uncle!”“An uncle needs to act like one,” Ulmer stated, turning back to face Jude. Both of them were almost the same height, but Jude was bulkier and had a thicker beard and messier hair. He looked like a wild beast that was in chains right now.“You…” Jude tried to grab
“I asked you because if you are still fertile, then there’s still a chance for you to get pregnant,” Mollie said, despite knowing that Kristi would likely ignore her words. “Listen tome.You should first stop eating iodine salt, which is one of the main reasons for your health deterioration. Thyroid and womb are both connected. Because of too much iodine, your body has become a mess. Start eating sea salt instead, and eat a little bit of activated charcoal everyday. Brush your teeth with it,too. And it will get rid of that iodine and other bad things in your body. Your health will improve gradually.”Kristi was so angry by the fact that Mollie was talking about such a sensitive issue so openly, it made her completely lose her cool. “Shut your damn mouth. I never asked for your advice, you old cunt!” she viciously waved her hand at Mollie’s face.BAM~!Her slap was so fast that nobody there had the time to react and stop her, except for one person, the one who was also most angered by w
Even though Mollie had left Ross’ house, she was still feeling anxious. She had spoken confidently with Jude that she would go to the police, but she already knew that the police wouldn’t care.“Let’s go to the police station,” she told Ulmer.“Do you really think they’d take our side, Grandma?” he asked her.“If there’s an honest cop, then they will take our side,” she replied.“If the cop takes our side, then they will trouble the cop, too.”Mollie frowned. “Then what can we do? Just thinking about what Jude might do to us is making my blood feel cold.”Ulmer put his arm around her shoulder. “Leave it to me, Grandma.” He took out his mobile and called Ririka and told her, “I need a car. Please send it to the address I’m going to text you.” Saying that he ended the call.“What’s this?” Ririka was a little annoyed. “Does he think I’m his assistant or something?” Even though she didn’t like it, she still proceeded to help him.“Who did you call, Ulmer?” Mollie curiously asked him.“Jus
This was the first time since her husband Mike died, Mollie was able to get on an airplane.An hour-long trip through the air brought them to Salem city, which was also Mollie’s birthplace.She never thought she’d see this city again where she had so many memories from her childhood and her young age. She immediately felt nostalgic just from smelling the breeze in this city.Mollie grabbed Ulmer’s hand and thanked him for bringing her here.As they left the airport, a Benz SUV was waiting for them, with a new chauffeur holding a board with Ulmer’s name on it.Ulmer whispered something in his ear.Mollie smiled but said nothing. She wondered where he was taking her for the meal.As the car drove through the city streets, Mollie grew a bit emotional, remembering the past and how much fun she and Mike had when their kids were still young. Things were good back then. Issues only started popping out when her sons grew up and let the importance of money in their lives dominate everything el
