Irene fixed her gaze on Liera , a mocking sheer in her eyes . “ I bet you don’t have the guts to say it , unless you want us both to go down together .
Llora’s lips curved faintly , her expression unreadable . She said , “ After I’m gone , I’ll arrange again . As for what happened between us back then , I’ll bury it deep and take it to my grave !
for Sanford to go abroad . He won’t ever appear before you
trene slowly settled into the chair , eyeing Liora with suspicion . “ Who knows if you’re telling the truth ? And who knows if that troublemaker son of yours
won’t stir up more drama . ”
Liora sneered , “ What are you so afraid of ? Sanford is all I have left . Just promise me you won’t trouble him , and keep your son away from him too . I’ll
make sure he stays far away from all of you . ”
Irene could no longer contain her rage . She storm give birth to Yorick’s child ?
over to Liora , jabbing a finger in her face . “ Do you know how badly I want to kill you ? How dare you
“ I wish you and your son would vanish from the world . It should have been you who drank that poison back then . It should have been you ! ” frene snapped .
Liora’s own temper flared just as suddenly . “ If Yorick hadn’t drunk that poison for me back then , you’d be rotting in jail right now . I kept my promise to keep your secret , but you owe me an apology . ”
“ You want me to apologize to you ? In your dreams ! ” Irene snarled , then slapped Liora viciously across the face before stepping back .
“ If you hadn’t been clinging to Yorick like some desperate stalker , I never would have been driven to want to kill you . But now , I don’t even have to lift a finger . You deserve to die ! ” said Irene .
Liora was about to retort when a violent fit of coughing seized her . Blood gushed from her throat , staining her lips a deep red . Irene froze .
“ Mom ! ” Sanford burst into the room and was met with a horrifying scene . He frantically pressed the nurse call button above the bed , then grabbed Irene by the collar , demanding , “ What did you do to my mom ? ”
“ I didn’t do anything ! ” Irene snapped .
Sanford shoved Irene aside and snapped , “ Then what the hell are you doing here ? You’re happy now , aren’t you , seeing Mom like this ? ” He impatiently shoved Irene away , causing her to stagger .
Not wanting to stoop to Sanford’s level and risk losing face , Irene gave a disdainful snort and turned on her heel to leave .
“ Mom , are you alright ? ” Sanford rushed to sit by Liora’s bedside , gently patting her back to help her breathe easier .
Liora shook her head weakly , forcing a small smile . “ I’m fine , Sanford . Don’t
Sanford demanded , “ Mom , what did Irene say to you ? ”
worry about me , ” she said gently .
Liora shook her head weakly and managed a faint smile . “ Nothing . She just came to gloat , that’s all . ”
“ That venomous woman ! ” Sanford muttered through gritted teeth , about to storm out after Irene when Liora caught his wrist .
“ Let it be , ” she said wearily . “ We’ve said all there is to say . From now on , we’ll stay out of each other’s way . ”
Nareigh , Jonathan pored over Werner’s hospital transfer records . All the payments went to the same institution , to the same account registered to Liora ,
Jonathan frowned . The situation was getting more complicated .
If he told Cathy that Werner had transferred all the money to Liora , he didn’t know if she would

He dialed the secretariat . Someone asked , “ Mr. Lynn , you requested to see me ? ”
Jonathan ordered , “ Book me a flight to Shaville tonight . ”
“ Yes , Mr. Lynn . ”
The secretary had just left when Jonathan’s phone buzzed with a new message .
Sanford : Keep your mother in check . If she bothers my mom again , don’t blame me for what I’ll do
to your family . ]
Jonathan stared at Sanford’s message for two seconds , his expression darkening .
