Chapter 4992
“All that good reputation is just rumors. It’s a carefully crafted image. Look at their daughters-in-law. None of them is ordinary. They’re all from prestigious families, all strong and capable women.“They’re all well-matched in status. Even the so-called Cinderella who married into the York family is actually from a wealthy family. So don’t be naive, and don’t believe those stories.“That’s just an image built for the men in their family. Cinderella’s story isn’t real.”Sheila said calmly, “Whether their image is real or staged has nothing to do with me. I’ve said it before. Alex and I are just neighbors. We’re ordinary friends.“It’s not what you think, so stop bringing him up all the time.”Sheila had no intention of marrying into wealth, so she did not care about Alex’s background.Whether he was a wealthy scion or an ordinary worker, to her, he was just a neighbor and a friend she got along with.When making friends, she valued character, not family background.“Kent, I’v
Chapter 4991
After hanging up, Kent’s expression turned extremely grim.He slumped weakly into his chair and stared blankly at the night outside the window.It turned out that Alex was actually from the richest family in Wiltspoon. Regardless of his rank among the York brothers, he was still an heir, someone Kent could never hope to reach in his lifetime.Alex was truly lucky to be born into such a powerful family.No wonder Alex could casually buy a house in Westbrooke Gardens. No wonder he carried such an air of nobility. Kent had to admit it even if he did not want to praise his rival.Alex’s overall qualities far surpassed his own. That was exactly why Kent felt threatened and mocked Alex for living off his relatives.Little did he know that he himself was the joke.The luxury car Alex drove clearly belonged to him. He did not need to rely on anyone because he had more than enough money himself.After a long while, Kent snapped out of it and immediately called Sheila.Sheila had just g

“The York family’s property?” Kent asked in shock, “Those are properties of the Yorks?”Alex’s last name was York!If the shops on Westbrooke Street belonged to the York family, and Alex was helping his sister-in-law collect rent, then she must be the eldest daughter-in-law of the York family. This would mean Alex was indeed a son of the Yorks!Kent had heard that the Yorks had nine sons in this generation, so what was Alex’s birth order?“Boss, thank you for helping me find out all this.”“It’s not hard to find out. Just ask the shop owners on Westbrooke Street, and you’ll know who the real landlord is.“You just never looked into it, Kent. That’s why you didn’t know.”Kent had never looked into it. He only knew that the Joneses’ family clinic belonged to the Jones family. It was built on land they had purchased long ago.Buying land and building a multi-story structure in such a prime location showed that the Jones family had long been well-off.He also knew that Sheila’s pa
Chapter 4989
“Alright, thank you. You’ve really thought everything through.”Kent had not even thought of booking a hotel in advance. He had planned to look for one after they got tired.Mary was much more thoughtful.His parents were right. When he was with Mary, she handled everything carefully. He did not need to worry about anything, and she treated his parents even better than her own.Sheila did not love him. She never took the initiative to visit his parents, nor did she care for them, accompany them, or take them out.She also did not show the same care, concern, or tolerance that Mary did.Sheila simply did not love him. In her eyes, he was just one of many seniors, nothing special. So she would never behave like Mary.Perhaps this was the difference between loving and not loving someone.Mary loved him wholeheartedly. She accepted everything about him, cared for him, and treated his parents exceptionally well.Kent silently made a decision.When he thought about their family bac
Chapter 4988
“Let’s go.”“Okay.”The family of three headed out happily.“Kent, look, Mary can accompany us to the seaside, but Dr. Jones doesn’t even have time to eat with us. She hasn’t even come to visit us. Mary is clearly better,” Talia said.Talia seized every opportunity to praise Mary, strongly urging her son to choose the nurse.“Mom, we agreed to give me another six months. If Sheila still doesn’t accept my feelings after that, I’ll give up.”Mary was willing to wait another six months for him.If things with Sheila did not work out after six months, he would choose Mary.“Alright, alright, we’ll talk about it in six months. I just think Mary is more suitable for our family. She’s very capable and treats us well.”Talia thought, ‘Unlike that Dr. Jones. I heard her family hires a housekeeper to cook. She probably doesn’t even know how to cook. How would she take care of Kent in the future?‘If she went back to our hometown with Kent during the holidays, how would she prepare a pr
Chapter 4987
After a brief pause, Sheila continued, “I think his parents are not satisfied with me, mainly because they have Ms. Hicks as a comparison.“I know Ms. Hicks often goes to Kent’s house to cook and clean. Whenever his parents come into the city, she’s the one hosting them, buying groceries, cooking meals, and accompanying them to the hospital with him.“She also takes them out and buys them many gifts. She does everything so well that his parents are very pleased with her.“I’ve repeatedly rejected Kent, so I believe he’ll eventually give up on me, especially since his parents will interfere.”Kent’s parents clearly favored Mary more.Sheila’s analysis was right, as Kent’s parents were already persuading their son to accept Mary and give up on Sheila.In their eyes, no matter how rich Sheila was, she was too busy with work and had no time to take care of the family or their son.When they visited the city, she did not have time to accompany them, let alone prepare three meals a da

Story was going great, however, now starting to go south.
exactly get on with the story...so tired of the repeated stories. keep the new stories coming
why on earth can't you just get on with the story !! These women have been pregnant forever. Just sick of this. obviously you don't read your comments, if you did you would finish the story.
Keep repeating for the last 4 chapters. Terrible author.
it is really sad I cannot even finish reading this book because the last two times I purchases chapters within seconds of getting my chaptets someone has tried to purchase $$$$$ on my card. funny I have not bought chapters in a while and guess what. Noone has tried to purchase anything on my card.
To the author I must agree I have been reading this book forever you have to many loose ends all these couples waiting to have there weddings and forever more let jasmine & serenity have there babies Your stories now very, very boring Hurry and get to the action. You are Loosing your readers.
are you reading right now?
No more, when the $$ finishes won’t get it again. It sounds as if the writer has nothing new. There is nothing exciting on these pages anymore. I am done with this.
I totally understand :( the amount of $, I just want to kick myself now. Just hoping beyond hope that authors just recapped enough & finally finish the story. If author wants more then make it a part 2 or a series. this book should have been done long time ago.
Besides only 3 new chapters per day, why do you keep subtracting bonuses I deserve those bonuses I earned without getting subtractions for no new chapters to apply. Give all of the bonus back.
I just want to finish this story already since I’m so far in and have to wait for the new chapters daily! I have paid too much to read this book!
Keep repeating, how about getting on with story, have you ran into a wall?
Nothing new! AGAIN! That was a wasted 2 chapters!
You’re loosing us . Get on with the story not repeat things .
i can relate,its so annoying.am tempted to delete the app
Repeat, repeat, we already know all this.. get on with the story
Boring! The last couple of chapters. This is not a children book. Get back to the action. You keep jumping around.
The last six chapters were trash. We don’t care about grandma Carmen Cullen. Please get back to the story. This is boring.
Sad! ... nothing new everyday but being hooked on this story makes me mad ... at myself
