"Did you really think it was going to be that simple?!" asked Jonas. He then ogled at Lynette lewdly and commented, "You look a lot prettier now! I guess Lucas Gomez must've spent a lot of money on you.""What exactly do you want?" snapped Lynette angrily. They were already divorced, yet Jonas had come to her asking for money a few days ago, threatening her that if she would not give him the money, then he would post all of her pictures from the past online so that everyone could see what she really looked like.She was so ugly and dowdy in those pictures! Even worse was the fact that there were some intimate pictures of hers with Jonas in the mix as well! If those pictures were to end up online, not only might Lucas see them, but they would also be a great hindrance to her ambition of becoming a famous actress!Ultimately, Lynette decided to suck it up and pay Jonas the money to get those pictures from him. She assumed that everything would end there, but afterward, Jonas had come
Chapter 1122
Sandra was glaring at Clara, who was standing beside little Yanny, and a look of burning jealousy flashed in her eyes. She never thought that Clara would manage to give birth to a child even after she was thrown into jail!Meanwhile, Sandra had become completely infertile, and now, it seemed that she would be forced to take care of Clara's son for the rest of her life!She said, "It's been a while since we last met, Clara. I heard from Wilson that Yanny is his son. In that case, I will regard him as my own son from now on!"She then pointed at her driver who was standing behind her, and in the driver's hands were all kinds of toys."These are the toys I got for Yanny," Sandra explained. "I have no idea where you live, so I had to come find you here."As she spoke, her lips bloomed into a warm and friendly smile, yet the smile made Clara tremble in fear. Had she not smiled gently at her like this before in the past before she had then pretended to fall down the stairs? What was she

And it was precisely because he knew what those words meant that he got so angry!In the cartoons that he watched, only the rogues and thugs were put in jail. His mommy was the kindest person he knew, so how could she be anything like them?!Sandra turned to Yanny with an almost imperceptible look of hatred in her eyes, especially when she noticed how much the boy's eyes looked just like Clara's. "Just ask your mommy about it," she told him, "then you'll see if what I said was a lie."Her gaze then shifted back to Clara's pale face, and with a faked kindly manner, she asked her, "You're not going to lie to him forever, are you?"Clara felt as if she had been stabbed right in her heart. She perceived the innocently curious look on her son's face. Her lips trembled, but she had no idea how to even begin explaining everything to Yanny."Looks like you've got a lot of time on your hands, Miss Cooper."Serenity walked up to Clara's side and continued, "You're the one who sent some s

"Is that woman a baddie?" Yanny asked. "Also, why did she say that Mommy and Auntie used to be in prison?"Clara was suddenly clueless about how to explain what had happened to her son.Serenity knelt down and tousled the boy's hair before telling him, "Not everyone who went to prison is a bad person, Yanny. You see, your mommy and I have been in prison before, but it was only because other people framed us, and in the end, the law is just, and they caught the real baddie."The boy could barely grasp what Serenity was talking about, but when he heard that the real baddie was caught in the end, he sighed in relief."What about Mommy?" he asked, turning to Clara. "Was Mommy framed by the real baddies too?"Clara took a deep breath. Even though she had been avoiding this for so long, she knew that she would have to face it one, day anyway."Yanny," she said, "Mommy has never done anything wrong. I am innocent. Everything that woman said today was all lies. I have never hurt her."I

"But that's only because you helped me first," replied Serenity. "How can I just stand aside and not help you now?"Still, Serenity worried that as she was now, she might not be of much help to Clara at all, especially when Clara's case was now almost five years old. Even if they managed to find some evidence, it would still be very difficult to investigate what had actually happened.Thinking of this, Serenity was reminded of Jackson again. He was a large part of how she had gotten exonerated. Without his help, she might have to bear the label of a criminal who had caused someone's death for the rest of her life.Jackson…'No!' she reminded herself silently. 'Stop thinking about him! Everything between us has truly ended now!'Meanwhile, back inside the house by the window, Yanny stood on a chair and leaned against the window, staring out at his mother who was pushing the cart on the street."Are you looking at Mommy?" his grandmother, who was standing beside him, asked."Yeah,
Chapter 1126
Serenity approached a crew member and expressed that she had been assigned to take Lynette's USB drive to her. Only then was she able to smoothly wade through the crowd and get into the lounge area that the film crew had rented from the mall.At the time, a makeup artist was putting on makeup for Lynette, but she had not changed into her costume yet. Even then, she was clad from head to toe in expensive designer clothes, and because Lynette was obsessed with luxury brands, she had chosen to wear the kind of clothes that had huge brand logos on them, as if fearing that others might not notice that she was wearing clothes from famous brands.Apart from that, there were all sorts of rings and bracelets on her fingers and arms, all of which were exorbitantly expensive. All Serenity thought, seeing her cousin like that, was how no one could ever imagine what Lynette actually looked like back when she still lived in the small town."Ah!" Lynette cried in a fake enthusiastic voice. "You'

Sure enough, those who heard Jade’s words all had the same puzzled expression. Some even voiced out their confusion. “You two… were incarcerated before? But how is it possible… that you’re still able to become a paralegal?”By paralegal, they were referring to none other than Serenity! Jade cast a jealous look at her immediately. That’s right! How could a person with a criminal record be allowed to be a paralegal?!On the other hand, her social standing in prison was actually much better than where she was outside. At the very least, she commanded some level of authority among her fellow prisoners. Serenity, who had long gotten used to receiving such curious stares, couldn’t be bothered to explain herself. However, Lynette seized the opportunity to speak on her behalf. “So what if she was incarcerated? It’s just a few years behind bars, nothing much to worry about.” Following that, Lynette projected a concerned expression toward Serenity. “Serenity, since we’re cousins, I don’t c

What was going on?!Serenity instinctively darted toward the exit of the lounge. However, her heart sank when she yanked on the door handle. It was locked from the outside!Was this a trap? Was Lynette behind this?! Jonas immediately charged at her…Outside the lounge, although Lynette sat there quietly as the makeup artist did her work, she was actually incredibly nervous on the inside. She wondered if things were coming along smoothly!She had specially invited Jonas over today and spiked his drink before telling him to wait for her behind the curtain. To convince him to go along with her plan, she told him it was because it would look bad if people noticed her and Jonas together. What’s more, such affairs had to be carried out behind closed doors. Although her explanation was full of loopholes, Jonas still took the bait. After all, 10 million dollars was simply too much to ignore. Right now, just as Lynette had planned, after Serenity entered the lounge, Jonas’ dr
