Back then, she was a high school student in the United States, living with a middle-class couple. The wife was a kind woman who not only helped her adjust to life in the United States but also helped her study. However, Beatrice was too eager to stay in America. She seduced the woman’s husband and persuaded him to divorce his wife

Once everyone knew her story, they all began to despise her. Some were envious of her wealth and good fortune, while others thought she was a horrible person. Everyone mocked her as a gold-digger, saying she was only good at one thing: getting married. When she went out, she was frequently followed by paparazzi. Many people called her names to lecture her, and some even crept around her house

After all of this, Beatrice’s company stock continued to fall. It eventually reduced to one-third of its original value. Beatrice couldn’t keep her cool any longer and was desperate to find a way to save herself. She thought of Karl at this point. Again, she called Karl

And again, Peace answered the phone for Karl, “Have you made your choice yet, Ms. Jones? Your company’s market value has already dropped by two-thirds. If you keep hesitating, I believe it will be delisted shortly.’1

A few days later, Karl took over the company and changed the brand name to “Peace.” Simultaneously, he declared his intention to enter the American market with Lemon. Just as Wayne had planned, Beatrice paid a

Anna did not return to Fleosil because she needed to deal with these issues at home. Patrick called her whenever he had a problem, as the communication there was better than she had expected. After

resolving these issues, Anna took Matthew and Tammy to see the Millers

Joe and Selina had been depressed since Maria was arrested. They were angry at Maria for betraying them, but they still cared about her. So,

they took her grandmother to the best hospital in the country for a kidney transplant and then to a nice nursing home

Selina was delighted when she saw the kids. She sat on the couch with Matthew’s hand in hers, saying, “Thank goodness nothing bad happened to you! I can’t imagine living without you, Matthew.”

Matthew was always at ease around his family, and he chatted with them like a kid. “Grandaunt, thank you for your concern. I’m perfectly fine and even have a good appetite. Maybe Granduncle can kill a cow for me for lunch at noon.” Matthew remarked jokingly

Then Anna approached Matthew and flicked him on the head

“Why are you hitting Matthew?” Selina rubbed Matthew’s head and asked Anna angrily

Anna was speechless, believing Selina had never lavished such attention on the children. Meanwhile, Tammy, who was sitting next to Selina, said, “Grandaunt doesn’t want to talk to Mom! Yay!” Tammy said as she shook Selina’s arm, “Granny, I missed you so much. While saving Matthew, I broke my foot and even jumped into the sea. I was so terrified that I had nightmares for several days.”

“Really? Let me take a look at your ankle.”

“It doesn’t hurt anymore,” Tammy said before leaping into Selina’s arms

“So, do you have nightmares anymore? Why don’t you sleep in my room tonight? I’ll read you bedtime stories like I used to when you were a kid.”

“Yeah! Great!” Tammy burst out laughing in Selina’s arms. And Selina smiled cheerfully and stroked Tammy’s hair gently

“Tammy, you’re no longer a child. And don’t forget that you talk a lot in your sleep!” Shaking her head, Anna said to Tammy. And then she

turned to Selina, saying, “Tammy moves around in her sleep as if she’s fighting with someone in her dreams, Selina. She’ll wake you up in the middle of the night if she sleeps with you. It’s best to let her sleep alone.”

“Yeah, Mommy’s right,” Matthew said

“How come everyone is blaming me?” Tammy asked, her face flushed

“Tammy is almost an adult, Selina, so maybe you can stop treating her like a child. She even convinced Natalie and Alicia to help her save Matthew!” Anna said. She was irritated every time she thought about it

“So, what? They’re still kids to me no matter how old they are. To be frank, Anna, I actually think you’re still a child now,” With a smile, Selina said. Patting Tammy’s back gently, Selina said to Tammy, “You can’t put yourself in danger anymore, dear. Otherwise, you’ll bring more trouble for Matthew.”

“That’s right!” Nodding, Matthew echoed

“Matthew!” Tammy yelled, attempting to get him to stop talking

Then Matthew made a funny expression at her

“Where is Joe? He’s not home ?” Suddenly, Anna asked with a frown

“He’s visiting Maria in prison. I’ll never visit her there, let alone forgive her. I’ve spent the last few days trying to figure out why she did that horrible thing. Joe and I reflected on ourselves, but neither of us felt we had done anything wrong. We got her into a good college and gave her a lot of money over the years. However, it seems that she just took it for granted.”

“Maria’s probably just jealous that you guys are so nice to me, Selina,”

“We are supposed to be nice to you. I am your aunt and we are blood relatives. In fact, we’ve always treated you as if you were our own child

Your mother passed away when you were young, and your father married another woman, so we wanted to take care of you as much as possible

Anna, you’re not going to blame us for what happened to Matthew, are you?”

“Certainly not! You did what you were supposed to do, and I appreciate it. Maria is the one to blame now. Actually, I also treat you as my

parents. So never say anything like that again,” Anna said as s he pretended to be upset

“I’m sorry. I won’t say that again. I’m so old that sometimes, I don’t even know what I’m saying,” Selina said apologetically

“Grandaunt, you are not old at all! I sometimes believe we’re the same age!” Tammy said. Her joke made everyone laugh

Anna took a breath and said, “Maria has already paid for her mistakes

Joe is free to visit her in prison, and you are free to do so, too. You’ve spent so much time together with Maria before, so you must have a special bond with her. We don’t have a problem with that. Right, Matthew?”

“Yeah. Don’t worry, Grandma. I can totally understand you.” Matthew quickly added

will visit you more often from now on, Grandaunt,” Tammy said, smiling

“Aw… How sweet of you!” Selina replied with a bright smile
