Heidi arrived at Carrington Mansion with a bandage wrapped around her wrist. The moment she got there, she went straight to Agatha. "Grandma, you have to seek justice for me!"Agatha furrowed her brows. "What happened?""I took Ella shopping just now when we bumped into Edith and the woman Otto is having an affair with—""What?" Agatha interrupted her abruptly and grabbed her wrist. "Take me to them right now! How dare that woman appear right in front of me?""Ouch!"When Agatha saw Heidi in pain, she realized that she was grabbing Heidi's wrist, which was wrapped in bandages. She immediately let go of it. "What happened to you?""That woman did this to me." Tears welled up in Heidi's eyes. She said aggrievedly, "I really don't understand why a good child like Otto would fall for such a woman. Not only is she unreasonable, but she is also disrespectful to her elderly."Edith didn't stop her either. I…" Heidi forced a tear out. "I can barely recognize Edith anymore. She's lik
As Agatha's birthday party approached, Edith started to back out."Ms. Miller, why don't we…" She tugged Yvonne's hand and said hesitantly, "Why don't we just don't go? I'll get someone to send the gift over.""You came all the way here because you wanted to attend the birthday party, right?" Yvonne saw the worry in Edith's eyes. "Are you backing out because of Heidi?""There are things that you don't know about." Edith sighed. "Heidi might seem friendly, but she's an evil woman. I'd endured her mockery all these years because I wanted to maintain peace within the family."Seeing how angry she was yesterday, she will surely complain to Grandma. I don't know how much she is going to exaggerate about the incident."Edith shook her head. "Forget about it. Let's just not go.""No." Yvonne held Edith's hand. "You should go exactly because she will talk nonsense in front of Mrs. Carrington Senior. "You did nothing wrong. Why are you letting others wrongfully accuse you? Mr. Carring
Yvonne was in a daze when Otto's car slowly stopped right in front of them."Ms. Miller, time to go." Before Yvonne could react, Edith pulled her along to the car. Otto noticed that Yvonne was a little distracted. He asked, "What is it?""Nothing," Yvonne replied subconsciously. "Let's go."As the car moved, Yvonne secretly replied to Calbert's message. "Alright, I'll find a chance to head over."Even if Yvonne had done it quickly, Otto still noticed. He swept a glance at Yvonne's hands. His gaze darkened a little.…When they arrived at Carrington Mansion, the sun was already setting.Edith got out of the car. She looked at the brightly lit mansion. Her heart pounded hard.Yvonne handed her the gifts she had prepared beforehand and said gently to her, "We're here."Edith nodded and smiled affectionately in response.Otto stood next to Edith, reaching his bent elbow out to her, signaling for her to hook his arm.Edith wanted to let Yvonne do it when Yvonne took her hand an
Everyone looked over to see a young lady in fashionable streetwear walking over with a lollipop in her mouth.Heidi's gaze instantly darkened. "Go away! You're the embarrassing one wearing such clothes to this party!""Mom, I don't want to wear the gown you prepared for me. I'm 24 years old. Don't I have the freedom to wear what I want?"Then, the young lady pointed to Yvonne, who was standing behind Otto, and said, "This woman has a scarf wrapped around her head. What she's wearing is more jarring than me.""Chelsea Carrington!" Heidi barked. "You are not needed here! Go and change your clothes!""I'm not going!" Chelsea retorted. She even stuck her tongue out at Heidi. "I hate wearing dresses! You're only asking me to go so you can continue to bully Aunt Edith."Chelsea hid behind Edith. "Aunt Edith, help me talk some sense into my mother. Tell her not to be so old-fashioned. Why must a lady wear a dress?""Chelsea, you come back here!"Heidi had two daughters. The eldest was
"Aunt Edith!"Edith stopped in her tracks when she heard Chelsea call out to her.She turned around to see Chelsea approaching her. She furrowed her brows. "Why did you follow me?""I don't want to stay with my mom. I prefer you more, and also Otto." When saying that, Chelsea gave Yvonne a glance and smiled at her. "You're the woman that Otto likes, right? What a character! I like you a lot!"Yvonne smiled but said nothing. She was rather uncomfortable with Chelsea's enthusiasm since they had just met for the first time.Her experience told her that Chelsea wasn't as direct and innocent as she seemed.Perhaps Yvonne seemed a little distant, but Chelsea stopped trying to get close to her. She looked at Edith once more. "Aunt Edith, I meant what I said just now. If you want to come back, let me know. I'll surely help you!"Edith smiled gently. "Thank you. I appreciate your kindness, but I do not feel like returning to the country for the time being.""Why? Great-Grandma was a
At night, a row of cars parked by the side of the road.Calbert was in one of them, looking rather inconspicuous.At that moment, the driver noticed that a few bodyguards looking into some cars nearby were slowly approaching theirs."Boss, those men seemed to be working for Mrs. Carrington Senior. Are they looking for us?"Calbert did not respond. He merely looked at the bodyguards coldly.Soon, someone knocked on their car window. The driver was nervous. He grabbed onto the steering wheel, about to slam on the gas pedal at any moment.Calbert rolled the window down a little and asked coldly, "Can I help you?""What are you all doing in the car so late at night?" the bodyguard asked in an unfriendly tone. He looked into the car through the slit of the window. He immediately noticed that Calbert didn't look like a good person."Get out of the car and come see Mrs. Carrington Senior with us. Explain to her why you're stalking her. Perhaps, we could let you go then. If not, we w
"Everything." Otto looked at Yvonne with anger burning in his gaze. "If my guess is correct, the person you're talking to on the phone right now is that son of a bitch, Calbert Beck."Seeing how Otto said Calbert's full name, he was clearly furious.However, the situation was urgent. Yvonne had no time to hesitate.She kept her phone away and looked into Otto's eyes. "Mr. Carrington, I will explain this to you in detail later. Right now, looking for Mrs. Carrington Senior is more important. "She has most likely been taken away by Mark. We have to quickly meet up with Calbert to look for her together."Upon hearing that, Otto looked at Yvonne intently for a moment before turning around without saying a single word.Seeing Otto leave, Yvonne furrowed her brows, but she secretly sighed in relief. Although Otto hadn't said anything, his disappointment was jarring. Her mind was buzzing.…Agatha was the star of the party that night, yet she had not appeared yet.The guests h
After Edith left, Calbert was the first one to speak. "Otto, if you want to blame someone, blame me. I was the first one to notice. I was the one who told Yvonne.""I was the one who told Calbert to hide it from you," Yvonne chimed in. She looked at Otto calmly. "Mr. Carrington, this entire matter is really complicated and long. Back then, we weren't sure of it yet, which is why—""You two ganged up to lie to me. Now you expect me to just try to understand where you're coming from. Is that it?"Otto sneered. "You two are the people I trust the most. I thought there were no secrets between us and that we could talk about anything. "But what did you two do instead? If Mark hadn't taken Great-Grandma away, how long were you planning to keep this from me?"Yvonne and Calbert looked at each other.Calbert looked apologetic. "We had always planned to tell you. It's just that things happened too suddenly. We never thought Mark would do this.""Do you think I would believe you?" Otto
