Dorothy and Juelz walked into the apartment together. They met Germaine’s shocking and fanatic gaze. Before anyone could speak, a tiny pink figure came out behind Germaine…
There was a delicate and wonderful smile on her face as she threw herself into Dorothy’s arms.
“Mommy, you’re really mommy. Aunt Germaine, are you seeing this? My mommy is finally home.”
Germaine nodded, and tears of joy welled up in her eyes. “Belle, you are right. Your mommy has really returned.”
Dorothy knelt down and held her daughter’s little body tightly in her arms. Tears welled up in her eyes, and her throat was choked with sobs that she almost could not utter a single word. “Belle, you’ve lost so much weight. I’m sorry. It’s my fault. I won’t ever leave you for such a long time ever again, okay?”
“Mommy, Germaine and Juelz said that you went to a place far, far away for a business trip. They said it was tiring, and you had to earn a lot of money to cure my illness. Mommy, I don’t blame you. It’s a good thing that you are back.”
Dorothy lowered her head and looked at her daughter’s pale and thin face, even her chin was pointy. Her heart ached. “Yes, I have earned enough money. I won’t go on business trips far away anymore. I’ll stay home and accompany you forever.”
“Really?”
“Yes.”
Dorothy kissed her daughter’s rosy face. After that, she fed her a nutritious meal, played some games with her for a while, then took her to the children’s room and hummed a lullaby to coax the little girl to sleep.
Perhaps, Dorothy had left for too long this time that it had scarred Belle. Even though she was asleep, her pinkish, tender little hands were still clenching onto Dorothy’s fingers, refusing to let go.
Dorothy sighed as she looked at her and began feeling upset.
She had not seen Belle for over twenty days, and her body had gotten much weaker. In the past, she was able to play for more than an hour, but on this day, she could not hold on for over 20 minutes.
Of course, it was because Belle had not eaten or slept well these days. But her leukemia was definitely worsening and it was slowly devouring Belle’s body.
If she did not get pregnant with Credence’s child within two months, Dorothy couldn’t even imagine how horrible her daughter would be tortured by that illness.
She felt that she had been too gentle and generous towards Credence. He had always been the one in charge, which caused her to be at a disadvantage at all times.
Everything else aside, for Belle’s sake, she had to be cruel!
Her heart was pounding so hard, and it hurt a lot.
The more pain Dorothy felt, the colder she sneered.
A surge of viciousness suddenly emerged from her mind, and she had a sudden urge to go all out. She would not stop until Credence was destroyed.
Germaine pushed the door open and came in. When she saw Dorothy’s tense face and gloomy eyes, she was shocked and even felt a little scared. She hurriedly lowered her voice and said, “Dory, thank God. You are finally back safe and sound.”
She glanced at the little girl who was sleeping soundly on the bed and asked, “You look terrible. Are you tired?”
F*ck, what the f*ck. Why did Dorothy look like she wants to kill someone?
It’s impossible. Dory has always been gentle. How could she even think about killing anyone?
Was she dreaming?
“I’m fine. Has Juelz left?”
“Yes, something had happened in the company, and he needs to deal with it urgently. However, he wants me to tell you that he’s taking us to the Talco Hotel for a top-notch seafood feast for dinner! Dory, thanks to you, I can finally have another big meal.”
Germaine nodded and repeated what Juelz said before she left with joy.
Dorothy stood up and motioned for Germaine to follow her to sit down on the sofa. There was a very soft expression on her face, but an extremely gloomy and indescribable feeling exuded from her.
She smiled, but it was not a thorough smile. She looked at Germaine calmly and asked in a soft manner, “Germaine, while I was gone, I was actually hospitalized and receiving treatment. I don’t know anything since I was in a coma either. How is Credence and Rosalie doing?”
On the way back to the apartment, she only had Belle in her mind. Thus she had completely forgotten to ask about Credence.
However, it did not matter at all. With Germaine’s ultimate social skills, she was bound to know more than Juelz.
“Huh, I’m glad you came to me.”
Germaine snapped her fingers and parted her lips with a smile, and she spoke very energetically. “Dory, let me tell you, the night after you were framed by Rosalie and fell into Talco River, Credence sent her to a male-only prison. She is the only woman there so you can imagine how she is doing inside even if you used your toes to think.”
Although I have never been interested in Credence, I still have to admit what he had done this time really won my heart!
Oh, here’s the other thing. The Fisher family went bankrupted under Credence’s suppression. Rosalie’s parents, your foster parents, were so angry that they fell ill and were sent to the hospital. However, they didn’t have enough money to be treated. Thus, they died in the hospital and were thrown into the morgue. What a miserable death!
As for Credence, he called off his wedding with Rosalie. I even heard that he transferred 30% of the Scott Group’s shares to you. Apart from Credence, you are now the second-biggest shareholder of Scott Group. Dory, you are now a rich woman who owns more than tens of billions of dollars. Come here, hug me, my rich woman.”
Oh, tens and billions of dollars, it’ll take you more than ten lifetimes to spend them all. How amazing! Dory, my rich friend, I want to quit my job now. I’ll just follow you around everywhere in the future…”
Germaine was still going on and on about it, but Dorothy frowned and was deep in thought.
Credence hated being cheated by women the most. He must have finally seen through Rosalie’s true colors and the Fisher family’s viciousness. That must have been why he dealt with the Fisher family so fiercely and viciously. She was not surprised at all.
However, he transferred 30% of his company shares to her? Why? What were his motives?
She was only lucky this time that Jeremy happened to save her. That was why she could survive safely. Had she not been lucky enough, she would have already been long gone.
Even if Credence transferred all of his shares to her, so what? What was the point of transferring shares to a dead person?
As she was thinking, Germaine pushed a laptop to Dorothy and urged her, “Dory, look, this is your bank account. You really have a hefty amount of money. If this is real, I really want a rich husband like Credence.”
This was the account Credence had given her in the past, but she had never logged in to it before.
In the four years of their marriage, Dorothy had never accepted any extra gifts, other than living expenses.
When she was young, she was foolish enough to believe that love was the most important thing in the world, and money was just something that tainted love. She would refuse and give up anything that had anything to do with that.
How foolish of her. No wonder she was in such a mess today.
Dorothy shook her head, put away the wild thoughts in her mind and opened the interface. She then entered the account and password as she logged into her account and clicked gently into it with her mouse.
The next second, she saw countless zeroes. It almost dazzled her eyes.
Germaine was even more excited. She said incoherently, “What the f*ck, there are really tens of billions of dollars. Dory, I want to eat top-quality lobsters and other delicacies, as well as branded clothes, bags, and even cosmetics. You are so rich that it’s too annoying. I really want to beat you up to quench my anger right now.”
In the evening, under Germaine’s fierce suggestion, they sent Belle back to her apartment after dinner and let the caretaker look after her. After that, they went to the most luxurious club in Talco City to party.
When they arrived at the private room, Germaine called a group of men and women who were as much of a party animal as she was. She played poker, drank wine, and played truth or dare. The atmosphere was so fun that went through the roof.
When she was asked the fourth time whether she liked Juelz or not, Dorothy made an excuse to go to the bathroom just so she could leave the noisy room. She stood at the end of the corridor in an idly manner. She stood by an opened window to let the wind breeze through her so that she could sober up a little. However, she felt a chill on her back.
She could not help but turn her head to look behind. As her gaze swept over and landed at the area not far away, she became a little dumbstruck.
