Chapter: 1408
Edwin, with his soft skin and short brown hair inherited from Mark, hugged her and called her ‘mommy’ softly.
Cecilia embraced her son tightly.
Feeling a comforting pat on her shoulder, Cecilia turned around to see Waylen and Rena.
Her elder brother reassured her gently, "Don't cry. I'll always take care of you.”
Two weeks later...
The coal mine of Aline's husband was thoroughly investigated.
It turned out that the coal mining company was involved in five homicide cases four years ago, and Aline's husband, the coal magnate, was arrested immediately. It was expected that he'd get at least twenty years in prison.
Without her husband, Aline had no one to fall back on.
She went to see Mark in his office, but Peter stopped her at the door.
With a fake smile, Peter said, "Mrs. Hanson, Mr. Evans was planning to cooperate with your husband, but he didn't expect that your husband was involved in something illegal, so he had to give up on the cooperation."
Aline was thick-headed, but even so, she could tell that something was off about this whole thing.
Unfortunately, she wasn't as powerful as Mark, so she couldn't do anything to offend him. Her Last resort was to ask him for mercy.
Knowing what she was after, Peter smiled calmly.
“Mrs. Hanson, think about it. Who have you offended recently?"
Aline was stunned.
After a long time, she whispered, "Rena..."
Peter didn't confirm her guess directly. He just said, “Mr. Evans's sister died at an early age, so he has devoted all his affection to Miss Gordon. Mrs. Hanson, you really need to find out who you're offending before you offend them. Now, Look at what has happened to you and your husband."
After saying that, Peter walked away, leaving her alone with her thoughts.
Sitting at the tea table, Aline broke down.
She clutched a cup of coffee tightly, trying her best to calm herself down, but she still kept trembling... She refused to believe that she was still defeated by Rena, even after struggling for so many years.
Rena didn't even Lift a finger, yet she still made her so miserable!
No, no!
