"They think you were Megan's father," Madam Chen explained everything to them, and as things were made clear, she looked shocked by how the man reacted. "What's so funny?" "Why did you even send my brother into an asylum? He isn't some crazy b*stard. All you needed to do was give him money, then he'd be quiet," Shen Chen said, which was indeed the right answer to their problem. However, it was obvious that the family was obsessed with money and didn't dare to share it with anyone. "Father, please…" Mei said, trying to ease the tension in the room. She was now pregnant with Chen's child, and if things didn't go well for Megan, her future would be ruined as well. Madam Chen was stunned to see how calm Mei was. She was beautiful like Sophia, but the only thing lacking was her connection and power. Mei may have money and all, but her connections and power belonged on the other side. A power they would not use at all. "Is something wrong, mother?" Charles asked, noticing how his mother
Victor looked softly at the woman, seeing a vague image of her mother in her. Her mother had also lived a hard life with her abusive father, doing everything just to make sure she was living a good life. To everyone's surprise, they witnessed the man grab hold of the woman. They all watched in anticipation, wondering what the man planned to do. "Mother, I promise to take care of her," Victor said, which shocked everyone, even Megan, who was by his side. Megan became emotional as a tear rolled down her face. She didn't expect the man would accept her biological mother so easily. He must truly love her if he didn't care about her mother's identity. "Ah, I should not keep you to myself. Come, this is your night." "Hmm, we will see you later," Victor replied as he escorted Megan to where the Chens were. "Mother, Father, Brother, thank you for this. Mother, everything is perfect," Megan greeted her parents as she gave Madam Chen a hug. "Indeed, thank you," Victor also praised Madam C
Charles finally came face to face with his uncle and Mei. Despite his attraction towards the woman, he batted not a look, even though all the men's eyes were glued on her. Mei was indeed eye-catching; she was dressed in a simple but revealing maxi dress, with an open back and a huge slit on the side. She was barely wearing any makeup and had her hair tied in a messy bun. "Charles, did you miss me?" Mei said as soon as she came face to face with him. As she tried to approach him to give him a kiss, Charles stopped her before she could make her move. "Is this the way you should be treating your fiancée?" "Fiancée?" Charles looked dumbfoundedly at the girl, angry that she dared to declare something so outrageous in front of everyone. "Have you lost your mind?" "You shouldn't be speaking to her like that," Chen Shen said, upset at the boy for not giving them any respect. "Why should I? Do you think Megan would care if you are here?" Charles retorted, as their contract for him to act a
Sophia, standing proud and tall, smiled with pride as she came face to face with the man's parents, maintaining the same cold manner she had with Charles. "Soph, my dear, we didn't expect you to bring everyone," Madam Chen said awkwardly, not expecting Sophia to bring her mother. Madam Chen was known for being difficult, and she was worried that Sophia's mother might cause a scene. "Don't worry, I don't plan to ruin your party," Yiyi Zheng replied, fully aware of what the woman meant by her words. Yiyi looked down at Madam Chen, knowing that the Chen family would always be beneath them, despite their daughter being engaged to someone with more power. When Madam Chen noticed the look Yiyi was giving her, she almost argued back, but her husband held her hand, preventing her from making a scene. With so many people around, it would be a total embarrassment, especially after their daughter's recent engagement. "Haha, don't worry. My sister is just teasing you," Zhou Zheng added, trying
Megan felt like her world had collapsed indeed. "Everyone, excuse me." Megan ran away as fast as she could, and her biological mother chased after her. She hurried to the front door, hoping to catch the man before he left. However, by the time she arrived, she couldn't say a word to him; she could only watch him get into his car and vanish. "Megan?" Megan turned around and saw her mother catching up to her. She went to her and cried her heart out. "Mother, let's go home." "Fine, let's go," her mother responded as they walked back to where she had parked her car and drove away with Megan. Meanwhile, everyone at the venue found the situation awkward. Both the main characters of the event had left, so there was no point in staying any longer. "Hmm, seems like Aug will visit us soon then," Yiyi Zheng commented, catching the attention of all the Chens, who glared at her. "What did you say?" "That's right, what are you smiling for?" Madam Chen, who had kept her composure the whole t
On his way to his office, he noticed Edward, who was just on his way out. “I need you to do something,” Victor said as he dragged the man back inside his study. “Master, is something wrong?” Edward inquired, feeling the intense energy being released by his master. “Starting tomorrow, stay with Megan,” Victor said, as he didn't have any other option. He needed someone to stay with the girl whom he could trust. He did trust his people, but he needed more assurance. “Master, is something going to happen to Miss Megan?” Edward inquired, but didn’t receive an answer. However, seeing how Victor looked so anxious, it was obvious that something was about to happen. “Then, I’ll prepare my things.” Chen’s residence “Charles, have you lost your mind? When you said someone better than Sophia, we thought someone…” Chairman Chen exploded in anger as he faced his son and cousin. He didn’t expect his son would dare put a name back on his cousin’s name. “You bastard, you dare use my son.” “Use y
The next day, Megan was busy preparing breakfast with her mother when both of them heard a knock on the door. When Megan went over to open the door, she smiled happily to see the man standing with some flowers. “Good morning.” Victor said as he gave the flowers to the girl and planted a kiss on her forehead. “Good morning. I didn’t expect you to come so early.” Megan said as she welcomed the man with open arms. She grabbed the flowers and invited him inside the apartment. “Mom, Aug is here.” “Welcome, we still haven’t finished breakfast. We didn’t expect you to come so early.” “It’s fine, don’t worry.” Victor said as he went to take a seat while Megan went to prepare some refreshments for him. As he sat down, he noticed how the two interacted with each other. They had the same harmonious relationship he has with his mother. Moments later, all preparations were over. The three of them enjoyed their meal together when they suddenly heard another knock on the door. “Hmm, it must be
Moments later, there was a knock on the door. “What?” Chairman Chen shouted as he was in no mood to see anyone at that moment. “My cousin, what have you done?” Shen Chen said as he arrived fashionably at the company. “What are you doing here?” Chairman Chen said as the man is not supposed to be allowed in any of the Chen's properties. “Well, I came to make a deal with you,” he said as he watched as the man was slowly taking his bait. “What do you want?” Chairman Chen said as he sat down, all ears to what the man had to say. “Well, it's like this…” Victor, on the other hand, was busy in his office working on the documents with Lucas by his side when his phone suddenly rang, and he received some unpleasant news. “What?” Lucas looked shocked to see the man storm out of the office and leave his phone still ringing. He grabbed the phone and answered it. “Hey, what happened?” “Master Lucas, Miss Antonia, she accidentally slipped and is on her way to the hospital.” With that, Lucas
