In the end, the old lady was so backed into the corner that she was slightly buying into the idea of going with the flow. She turned to Hana. “Why don’t I just go and serve that old d*mned thing?”“Aunt Cecilia, we can always figure something out. The Dixon family is threatening us, and they will not get away with it. In a few days, after I have finished the business at hand, I will accompany you to report the case,” said Hana to her aunt, frowning.The old lady could tell that Hana seemed to have something on her mind, so she asked, “Hana, what happened?”Hana did not hide the matter from her aunt as well, she simply said, “Aunt Cecilia, I have witnessed my daughter, Tessa, following my footsteps. She actually is in a relationship with a man who is ten years older than her. That man is indeed rich, but he is a playboy in South City. He was ignorant and incompetent when he was younger. How can I let Tessa walk into such a dangerous situation? I must stop Tessa.”In the few days aft
When Aino said that, both Zayn and Hana felt extremely awkward. It was particularly so for Hana. She blushed suddenly, then she squatted and looked at Aino very apologetically. “Aino, you are a good child. I know that you’re very kind, and you care a lot for me, right? However, I…I am already very old, so I am not…compatible with your uncle. Besides, your uncle and my daughter truly love each other. As long as they love each other wholeheartedly and as long as your uncle treats my daughter well, as a mother, I will certainly give them my blessings. You should also wish them happiness and contentment together, alright?”Aino instantly began to tear up. “Madam Sharpe, are you not going to get yourself a boyfriend anymore?”Hana smiled. “I am already in my forties this year, why should I find myself a boyfriend?”There was a pause before her tone suddenly became dull. “In this life, I have already been so hurt by men that I no longer have the intention to be in a relationship anymore.
“Alright, alright. Thank you, Master Zayn.” Hana was extremely grateful, but she did not go overboard with her mannerism. Since the very beginning, Hana had never appeared to be fawning over Zayn or anything like such. When Zayn was leaving Hana’s house in his car, he thought to himself that no matter how he looked at it, Tessa’s mother seemed to be a woman who behaved with propriety and had self-restraint. She was not at all like the unbearable woman that Tessa’s father had described her to be. Could it be that Hector and Tessa were both lying? Especially Hector, who had once thought of committing a crime and had a gambling problem in the past. Zayn was slightly doubtful of Hector’s character.When Zayn left Hana’s house, he wanted to call Tessa to ask her about the matter, but after he thought about it, this matter was not something that could be easily clarified with just a few words. He thought that it would be better to slowly talk about it in the future after resolving the old l
The person who opened the door was Hana. However, Hana appeared to be drastically different from the day before. She had light makeup on. Although her clothes were not from any luxury brands, they were decent and very professional. Also, the forty-year-old Hana had a nice figure. Her hair was very combed neatly. The way she looked gave Zayn a very intellectual and professional kind of feeling. She did not appear to be pitiful at all. She was drastically different from the homeless woman that Zayn saw a few days ago, who had been squatting in a corner of the wall at the Ford Group. Zayn was completely stunned by what he saw. For a moment, he even thought that just by looking at his young mother-in-law alone, he truly did not deserve to be with Tessa. He was too old. Tessa and her mother, on the other hand, were too young.Perhaps she had noticed that Zayn was stunned, Hana immediately said, “They had repeatedly come over to look for my aunt countless times. Today, I have to let them se
Zayn and Hana helped the old lady into the yard. The old lady then called out in a low voice, “Neo Dixon, are you at home?”“Who is it?” A very aged voice came from inside of the house. Logically speaking, the old man should only be sixty-six years old that year, so he was not considered to be too old. However, that voice sounded like an old man who was almost in his eighties.“I am Cecilia and I am here to discuss the matter of the fifty thousand dollars with you.”“You came back? Do you have nowhere else to go out there anymore, so that’s why you’ve returned? This is not a shelter and this is also not a hotel. Do you think you can just come and go as you wish? Who do you think you are? Go to hell! Get the hell away!” said the old man. His door was opened right when he finished his words.A wheelchair then rolled out from inside the house, and there was an old man, who was stick-thin, sitting on it. The old man glanced at Cecilia and his eyes were affixed on her. Cecilia was ten y
The old man was stunned. “What?”The old lady remained calm. “I am here to pay you back the fifty thousand dollars to you, I will also pay back the interest! However, I have also brought along the ledger that I have been using for bookkeeping in those ten years today. Every single expense is recorded on it. Taking away the expenses, we should still have savings of six hundred thousand in our house. Half of the fifty thousand dollars that I had taken should be considered mine, and the other half is yours. You also have to give me half of the six hundred thousand dollars.”Neo was suddenly terrified. “Are you…here to threaten me?”He wholeheartedly thought that the old lady was here to take care of him, but he did not expect that she was here to split up the properties with him. At that moment, Neo was not only feeling heartbroken from having his properties being divided and taken away, but he was more terrified that if he no longer has the care from the old lady in the future, he may
She coaxed him so well that she had borrowed a hundred thousand dollars from him in just a few days, and the caregiver never appeared again since then. Also, because he had no one to take care of him during that period, he had spent almost ten thousand dollars every month on ordering takeout food and hiring hourly workers. How much money would he have left? With a rough estimation, it would already be not bad if there were still two hundred thousand dollars left at home. However, even if he had taken all of the two hundred thousand dollars out, it would also not be enough for him to pay Cecilia.“Sir, please answer me. When are you going to pay Cecilia the division of property?”Neo answered, “I…I don’t have money.”“Then we will take the house. I will give you one week for you to move. One week later, we will come and collect the key and then sell it at an auction!” After saying that, the people from the court left in a very serious manner without wasting any time and effort.Neo
It was Neo who had hit them with that stick. Right after Zayn, Hana and the old lady had left the door, he then wheeled him wheelchair out of the house. He kept thinking that the old lady had abandoned him, so he had no one to take care of him anymore. He had no clue how long he could live and even his house was going to be taken away. How could Neo accept all these changes? He flew into a rage, and when he wheeled his wheelchair out to the alley outside, he coincidentally saw a wooden stick at the side of the wall. He held the wooden stick in one hand and used the other to drive his electric wheelchair forward.Originally, it was impossible for him to catch up to them as his wheelchair was very slow. Zayn, who was about to get in the car, saw that Cecilia’s lips were dry. It was afraid that the old lady would be thirsty, so he went to buy a few bottles of water. Neo then exhausted all of his strength to raise the wooden stick to hit Zayn on his head. If Neo had struck Zayn, then Zayn
