Chapter 986 Stay Calm
I knew several of the Murphy family's properties had been sealed, and Matthew was homeless.John understood what I was asking and immediately responded, "He’s been renting a small house for now. He says he doesn't care about any other property. He just wants to reclaim the small house you two used to live in."A wry smile twitched at the corner of my mouth. I silently sighed at his realization that had come too late."I’m hanging up." I told John.Laurie realized it was John on the phone, so she turned to me and asked, "What's going on?""Let's go back to the company. We'll talk in the car," I said. In truth, I felt uneasy.Matthew had regained his freedom, but seeing him in a predicament like this worried me.I was concerned that Matthew would have a hard time in the future. He was like a giant baby who refused to grow up. Once he calmed down, he would regret this if he still had a conscience.I explained John’s intentions to Laurie. She glanced at me, and I could tell what sh
Chapter 987 The Show Is About to Begin
Atticus walked to my office and sat across from me."Have you been in Foswood all this time?" I asked. I knew he hadn’t attended the court session today, but I was sure he had some representatives there."Yeah," he responded lightly, "You changed the strategy?"I knew he was asking about the court trial."Melvern Sunny stepped in for her, so we could only resolve the issue with Matthew, though it may not benefit her," I said. "You were right. Melvern is coming for you!""He's afraid I'll break free," Atticus pointed out."But Liora has already been cast aside. I just received accurate information this morning that Melvern's source of funds is unclean, so it looks like he’s adopting a two-pronged approach. Atlas has promised to support you wholeheartedly, too,” I didn't hide Atlas’s meaning.Atticus's eyes brightened."Please thank him for me," Atticus said politely."Melvern hasn't found the best way to deal with you yet. Otherwise, he wouldn't hesitate to let go of Liora. But
Chapter 988 Things Are Getting Serious
It seemed like a great show was about to begin.But I had already decided to stay out of it and watch this time.After work, John came in, which I had expected because I knew he had something to tell me. But I had not expected that he would come over right after our phone call. I sensed he had some doubts.I knew John was on my side, but it was unlikely he didn’t have any affection for Matthew after all those years they spent together. John was an intelligent guy. Melanie might have influenced him, but he was still well aware of whom he owed favors.John had a plan in mind. Our conversation was straightforward, and there was no need to beat around the bush.He looked at me and said, "I haven't told him all the facts, Ms. Chloe. I was worried he wouldn’t be able to accept so much all at once!"I pondered momentarily and told John, "This is something he needs to face sooner or later. It would be better if he found out sooner."John continued, "I'm ready. I'll spend time with him t
Chapter 989 True Intentions
When I saw Michelle Manson, I was impressed with her persistence despite myself.I moaned quietly, “Oh, she looks like she works here!"She noticed me as soon as I walked out and quickly approached me.Coincidentally, my phone rang with a call from Laurie, who wanted to tell me that Michelle was still downstairs.I could only helplessly reply, "You're a little late with that information."She joked, "Well, good luck to you then! Or should I come back and rescue you?"I smiled faintly. "There’s no need for that. I need to face her at some point."Michelle was standing next to me as I said that.I ended the call and looked at her unfriendly, asking, "Just get straight to the point. Don't beat around the bush. You’re putting pressure on me. Speak! What is it?"Michelle grinned shamelessly and said, "Actually, it’s nothing urgent. I just wanted to invite you for a meal and a chat.""If it’s nothing urgent, let's skip the meal. I'm busy every day and barely spend time at home. On
Chapter 990 Undeterred Chasing
Michelle held onto my arm and wouldn't let go, pressing herself against me."Let go of me! If you have something to say, just say it" I impatiently pulled my arm away.Her clinging annoyed me, and I had to compromise. "Alright, I'll tell you when I’m free!"When Michelle saw me relenting, she quickly grabbed me again, cautiously asking, "How about today?"I pulled my arm away again. "I have plans today.""No? What about tomorrow? Tomorrow, it is!" She seized the opportunity and refused to let go.I glanced at her, wanting to break free as soon as possible. I had had enough of her antics."Fine!" I said reluctantly.But as soon as the word left my mouth, I almost bit off my tongue.I just wanted to get her away from me. When Michelle heard me agree, she happily exclaimed, "You're the best! I’m glad we were classmates!"I cursed her in my heart. ‘How shameless!’"I'm leaving now!" I finished speaking and walked toward the exit, not wanting to stay a moment longer.Behind me,
Chapter 991 Exploitable Value
While talking, I heard a sweet voice saying, "Grandma, I'm hungry!"I saw her joyfully running in, tumbling her little legs as she ran.She was happily surprised when she found me in the living room. She turned to face me quickly and said, "Mom, why did you return so early today? No social event today?"She threw herself into my arms, kissing me.I reached out and rubbed her head. "Why did my baby come back late today?"She raised her little face and said, "There was traffic on the way. The driver said the road was blocked due to an accident, so we waited on the road, and that's why we came back late."She enunciated every syllable.Then she climbed into my arms, hugged my neck, and didn't even mention hunger. I hadn’t spent much time with her lately.Jenny walked in carrying Ava’s backpack. Holding two things alone seemed quite strenuous for her. After all, she was just a bit older than Ava.I quickly told Ava, "You have to carry your backpack from now on. Don't make your sis
Chapter 992 To Take The Bull By The Horns
"Does Wesley still have value?" Grayson asked."Perhaps Wesley could be useful in a critical situation! It seems that Adelaide Mcclain must have come with a mission!" I was led to this conclusion after she eavesdropped.Grayson warned, "Keep an eye on that outsider.""I'll ask Carol to watch her more closely. Let's keep her for now. She might be useful." I also said, "Since she went through all this trouble to come, we can't let her go away empty-handed."After hanging up the phone, I wondered if she dared to arrange a spy around me.It seemed that Liora was still afraid of me! Unfortunately, she might not be able to enjoy her freedom for much longer.Afraid Ava would overeat, I briefly rested and played with the kids in the yard while thinking about today's events.It was very late when Atlas returned, and Ava had already slept.I had just finished showering and was about to see what my mom was doing when he walked into the room with a faint scent of alcohol on him.He came
Chapter 993 He Has Something on His Mind
I was confident this was true, even though it was simply conjecture.There was not much left in Bibury. It's just that my dad was most reluctant to leave behind his books."We'll set out in the next few days and return as soon as possible! We'll see how things go," my mom said."You must settle it when you return, or I'll take charge. Whatever needs to be given away, give it away. Your home is in Foswood, and Bibury was never your home. Why hold onto it?" I said this intentionally.My mom's face stiffened momentarily, and she sneakily glanced at my dad.Afraid they might overthink, I quickly added, "Am I wrong? I am your home, right? I've stayed in Foswood, so why do you want to return to Bibury?"My mom looked relaxed after I said those words, so I knew my theory was correct. Bibury was not their hometown."When we're not here, come back early to care for Ava," My mom said, looking quite worried."Got it! I'll book your flight tickets, and if you want to send things back, yo
