Mary paused briefly, then turned her attention fully to her sister, looking her up and down without hiding her judgment.“And also, just take a look at yourself, huh. Why do you look older than your age? Why do you look so miserable? I really don’t like what I’m seeing. Your skin isn’t even glowing. It looks so dry. You’re dressed so shabbily too. And honestly, who still dresses like this? This is old-fashioned. You’re dressing older than your age.”Mary sighed dramatically as she finished speaking, shaking her head repeatedly while looking at her sister with clear disappointment and disdain.“You know that our family’s condition is different, Mary,” Nolan’s aunt said with a bitter smile as she let out a tired sigh. Her eyes looked dull, like someone who had long accepted her fate but still felt the pain of it every single day.“Well, that’s true,” Mary replied immediately. “And that is entirely your fault. If you had agreed to marry Silas back then instead of your husband, you would
Chapter 402
She would feel sad and jealous at the same time, and her mind would wander to what her life would have been like if she had money too.She would imagine herself dressing extravagantly, wearing beautiful dresses that hugged her body perfectly, accessorizing them with gold necklaces, bangles, and earrings, just like the women she saw. She would imagine walking confidently, looking neat, polished, and admired. But those thoughts always ended the same way. They were only dreams.The truth was that she was not well to do. Even buying clothes for her children was already a very hard task for her. She would have to save the little money she had just to get them something decent to wear. Most times, she had to choose between buying food and buying clothes. And when it came to herself, she didn’t even bother. She had long stopped thinking about buying clothes for herself because it felt like a luxury she could not afford.So when her sister started bringing out so many clothes from the suitcas

Nolan was hearing everything Mary and her husband were saying, and he wasn’t pleased. In fact, he was trying very hard to control his anger. He didn’t know they could stoop this low just to bring his own family down. It made his chest burn with rage. He was very upset with them, deeply upset, but no matter what, they were still his family, and he couldn’t really do anything drastic to them. So instead of reacting the way he truly wanted to, he stepped forward and walked fully into the ward.“Oh, Nolan, you’re here,” his aunt said quickly when she saw him. She forced a smile on her face, clearly trying to act normal. “Say hello to my sister and her husband.”“Hello. It’s good to see you,” Nolan said with a forced smile of his own, even though his heart was heavy and his mood was already ruined.“Oh my God, Nolan. You’ve grown so big,” Mary said, smiling widely as she looked him up and down. “The last time I saw you, you weren’t this tall. You were still small.”Nolan only nodded lightl

“I’m really sorry,” Mary said awkwardly, clearly embarrassed by her husband’s behavior and the way he had just left without her. “This is just how Peter normally is. He’s very hot-tempered.”“It’s fine,” Nolan’s aunt said softly, though it was obvious she wasn’t fine at all. Her voice was small, and her eyes were lowered in shame.“Oh, yeah,” Mary suddenly said, clapping her hands lightly as if she just remembered something. “I thought I heard the doctor come in earlier and say that your husband can be discharged. We can take you both back home with our car.”“Uncle is getting discharged?” Nolan asked, confused. “I thought you just called me that the doctors said they would have to admit him back.”“Yes, that was what they said at first,” his aunt replied. “They said his blood pressure was too high and that they needed to observe him for a while. That was what they meant by the spike. But the doctor came back later and said he’s in the clear now and can go home.”“You don’t have to wo

Nolan didn’t say anything to Peter. He simply turned around and walked toward the parking lot where he had parked his car earlier.Moments later, the sound of an engine filled the air. Nolan drove down to where his aunt and uncle were standing and parked neatly in front of them. He stepped out of the car slowly and spun the keys in his hand casually, as if it was nothing special.Peter recognized the car at first glance. His eyes widened, and his hand froze mid-air. He couldn’t believe what he was seeing.It was the latest Audi series, brand new, sleek and expensive. The market price alone was in the millions of dollars.Peter felt his throat go dry. The car Nolan had just driven was worth more than five times his own car. His own car, which he had been so proud of just moments ago, was nothing more than an ordinary Ford in comparison.He sat there in shock, staring at the car, unable to say a single word.Peter couldn’t believe it. He had never, not even in his wildest dreams, imagin

But Cherry’s dad wasn’t having it at all. Dinner could wait but what mattered to him at that moment was meeting Nolan. So instead of sitting back and hoping for another chance, he decided to come to the hospital himself. He wanted to meet Nolan face to face, no matter what.He even made Cherry send him Nolan’s picture. He studied it carefully, memorizing his face so he could recognize him anywhere. He was ready to search through the entire hospital if he had to. Floor by floor and corridor by corridor.Luckily for him, fate was on his side. Just as he stepped out of his car, he spotted Nolan standing outside the hospital doors. He recognized him immediately from the picture Cherry had sent. That was him and there was no mistake about it.That was why he walked straight up to him, smiling, calling his name, and extending his hand confidently.However, Nolan was very confused. He stared at Cherry’s dad for a moment, trying to remember if he had ever seen this man before. He searched his

Mary had always been the kind of woman who married into wealth and became rich overnight. While her sister married into poverty and suffered every day, she lived comfortably. Because of that, she always felt superior. She always felt like she was above her sister and her family.In her eyes, her sister’s family were peasants. People who needed her help just to survive. That was why she brought her family’s unwanted clothes and gave them out like charity, feeling like she was doing them a huge favor. She believed her sister should be grateful.But now, as she watched what was happening with Nolan, she was completely stunned.Her husband had told her earlier that day that he needed to befriend Cherry’s dad no matter what, because it would benefit his business greatly. He had been trying so hard. Yet, Cherry’s dad wasn’t even paying him any attention.Instead, all his attention was on Nolan.That realization hit Mary hard and It infuriated her. At the same time, shame washed over her.He

Nolan’s aunt and uncle couldn’t believe what they were seeing. As they both stared at the key in their hands, it felt unreal, like they were trapped inside a dream they might wake up from at any moment. Everything happening in front of them felt too good to be true.When they thought about it carefully, if they combined both the gift card and the key to the new house that Cherry’s dad had just given them, it wasn’t going to be a small amount of money at all. It would easily be over five to six million dollars.For their family, that amount was unimaginable. It was money they had never thought they would ever touch in their entire lives. Even dreaming about such money felt unrealistic to them.Nolan’s uncle cleared his throat, his voice shaking slightly as he spoke.“I’m so sorry, but… this is too much,” he said, shaking his head slowly. “This is too valuable for us to accept. We really can’t. It’s too much.”“Oh no, no,” Cherry’s dad said immediately, waving his hand. “You have to acc

Peter, on the other hand, wasn’t happy at all. He didn’t like what he was seeing. He didn’t like that Nolan’s uncle and aunt were the only ones benefiting from Cherry’s dad. He didn’t like that all the attention was on them alone.He wanted the focus to be on him too. He wanted Cherry’s dad to notice him, to acknowledge him, to give him gifts too, or better still, engage him in a proper conversation.Watching Cherry’s dad show Nolan’s family so much respect made him feel uncomfortable inside him. He felt ignored and overlooked, and he hated it.“Sorry, Mr CEO…” Peter said quickly, forcing a polite smile on his face. “Since you’ve finished your business with them, do you mind if we talk for a minute? I’ve wanted to see you since I entered the city. My name is Peter Reef, and I would like us to talk about business..”He didn’t even get to finish his sentence.One of the bodyguards that came with Cherry’s dad suddenly stepped forward and stood right in front of him, glaring at him with

In just a few words, Cherry’s dad had dismissed him completely.“You can’t do this… you can’t,” Peter said desperately. “I was among the first set of companies to reach out to you. I was one of the first to suggest that we meet and collaborate. You can’t just do this.”He tried to move closer, panic clearly written on his face, but before he could take another step, Cherry’s dad’s bodyguard pushed him back again.“Are you deaf?” the bodyguard barked. “Didn’t you hear the words of the CEO clearly?”Peter staggered slightly but managed to steady himself. He knew that if he didn’t push further, he would lose everything. This was not something he could afford to lose. Not after how much effort he had put into trying to revive his company.So he did the only thing he could think of.He turned and rushed toward Nolan.“Nolan, please,” he said urgently. “My dear nephew, you are someone of importance to the CEO. Please help me beg him. Please plead with him to give me a chance. Just one chanc
