Lucius was so frightened that his face turned pale. "No, how could this be? How could it be like this?"The police officer was very serious. "I have already figured out the general gist of the matter from what I heard! Your family did have a son. You had brought him back from another place, but you did not go through the adoption procedures, right? Not only did you not go through the adoption procedures, but you even did not love and care for the son that you had brought home. It seems that what your neighbors wanted to say is you were involved in child abuse, right? You actually abused and killed the son that you had brought back?"Lucius continuously took a few straps back. "No, it's not like that. Listen to me. Listen to me. It's not like that. Our son is not dead. H-He is right in front of our eyes. Vireo, say something. You're our son. We've raised you since you were a baby, son." At that moment, Lucius desperately wanted to kneel before Vireo while Vireo was unexpectedly covere
Why did she not be nicer to her adopted son? He was such a good child. Since childhood, he had been smart, studious, and never let others be worried about him. Also, he cared for his parents and had never competed and fought for the family's properties. How great he was! Why did the Payne family repeatedly harm their adopted son? They have shot themselves in the foot at that moment! They deserved it! It served them right!Vireo's adoptive mother never resisted anymore. The Payne sisters had also turned to jelly like soft and rotten tomatoes, and they were not even able to stand up anymore. At that moment, Lucius was the one who still had a little bit of courage and was able to hold himself up. However, no matter how courageous he was, it was also of no help. The police would never let them go. "Mister Lucius Payne, right? Please come with us to the police station together with your entire family."Lucius continuously retreated. "No, no, no. I'm already so old. I can't go to prison. I
The Payne family were not the only ones who were shocked. The onlookers who had gathered around were also shocked. Why were there so many people coming over one after another? It was very clear that this was set up. The Payne family, however, clearly was already set up by others, yet they still acted in such an arrogant and domineering manner. Even if they died, they really would not even have known how they died.Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Elsa came in front of Lucius. She had a thin face, and she looked very calm. She was so calm as if she had nothing to do with this world at all, but not, at the same time. Elsa's face had that kind of calmness from being disillusioned with the world, or perhaps she was a person who had once lost all hope. Of course, that was exactly the case!After she had given birth to her son back then when she was twenty years old, the only loved ones she had were her son and her grandmother. Her grandmother passed away, and her son was taken away an
"I do love Vireo."Elsa shook her head. "I know. You are his adoptive mother, so you indeed had loved him. However, that was you loving your adopted son. That has nothing to do with me at all. I will not look into the matter of you buying your son anymore. We have nothing to do with each other anymore from now on. My son's name is Holden Payne. He was the child that I had with the man I once loved. As for your adopted son, whether you had abused him to death or not, it's up to the police to solve the case. It has nothing to do with me. I am here today because I want to see my son. He had just finished performing an operation. He truly has worked very hard. I want to take him home. I've already made some food, and I'm waiting for him to come home to have dinner."After that, Elsa raised her gaze and looked at Vireo with an affectionate expression. "Holden, let's go home. You're tired and you need rest. From now on, you're Holden. There will not be any so-called adoptive mother coming
Jame thought that he had heard it wrong. "What did you say?""I asked you to fuck off! Or else, I will kill you!" Sabrina had never acted so shrewish before, but at that moment, she truly was unable to hold herself back anymore!It was impossible for anybody who was a daughter to be calm after seeing a frivolous and fawning man appearing by their mother's side. However, at that moment, the way the man in front of her looked made Sabrina think of a word—gigolo! She was utterly disgusted, and she wanted to have the man killed in a jiffy!"Are you going to fuck off or not? If you're going to fuck off, my fist will not be polite to you!" Ruth was Sabrina's loyal follower. Ruth would absolutely beat up anybody that Sabrina wanted to beat up without hesitation! If she had beaten the person to death, then she would just use her life to pay with her own life! While saying that, Ruth was about to make a move. Her palm was already raised, but Gloria blocked in front of James."Sabrina! You'r
She certainly was not that easily fooled as well. Otherwise, she had been wandering around for so many years, and she had once been locked up by Lincoln. Before that, she had taken life one step at a time in that kind of place in the mountains while taking care of Sabrina. Which step that she had taken was not extremely dangerous? Gloria had pulled through. That was enough to show that Gloria knew what she was doing. However, Sabrina had lost her cool as she cared for her mother too much. At that moment, Sebastian had to calm Sabrina down."Don't worry. Nothing will happen. I will definitely not let anything happen to her. Don't worry."Sabrina nodded. She was going to not think about her mother's matters for the time being. Sebastian was keeping an eye on it anyway, so nothing big should be happening. At that moment, Sabrina thought of Ruth again. All the unexpected incidents were happening one after another during that time. It was either the incident with Misty at the company or t
It was impossible for Sabrina to not be worried about Ruth. Sabrina was a devoted woman. When she was at her worst in life, Ruth had chosen to stand by her side and fight alongside her. That was something that Sabrina would never be able to forget. Even if Ruth had once harmed Sabrina, Ruth actually did not have a bad nature and she was simple and kind. She seemed noisy and tough beyond measure on the surface, but Ruth actually was a silly girl who could not take advantage of others. Therefore, Sabrina had always been very worried about Ruth.Seeing Sabrina's extremely concerned expression, Ruth smiled gently. "It's Isadora, Sabrina."Sabrina looked disappointed but she was also relieved."Hurry up and answer it," said Sabrina.Ruth immediately answered the call. "Hello, Isadora, you're not busy anymore?"On the other end of the call, Isadora said, "Ruth, are you having a serious fight with Ryan? Recently, I…I'm sorry. Sabrina had originally asked me to follow you to Kidon City to
"I won't get a divorce until I have absolutely no choice but to do so. Unless Ryan made an unforgivable mistake, such as not loving me anymore or having an affair. I absolutely can't tolerate that. As for the other matters that could be mediated, of course, I will choose to defend my marriage."Sabrina was truly impressed by what Ruth had said. She suddenly laughed. "Ruth, since you don't want to divorce Ryan, you're…""It's a strategy!" said Ruth.Sabrina was speechless.Ruth continued. "It's also my stance! I want to let the Poole family know that I can live even if I have left them! I want to let them know how much I love myself!"Sabrina nodded in relief. "Ruth, you're doing a great job. I am very happy for you! Don't worry! You will definitely earn the respect of the entire Poole family one day! They certainly won't look down on you again!""Mm-hmm!" Ruth was full of confidence. There was a pause before she said, "Sabrina, quickly go home. Don't worry about me. Take it slowl
