Bobby brought Jacqueline to the room on the left downstairs, where an old and thin woman lay.
The old woman was paralyzed and couldn’t move. She couldn’t take care of herself and had to be helped by others.
Jacqueline felt disgusted as she looked at the old woman. Bobby said softly, “This is my mother. You will be in charge of taking care of her from now on. Can you do it?”
“I… I haven’t taken care of anyone before. I’m afraid…”
“You can learn. I’ll get the people who took care of her to teach you!” Bobby interrupted Jacqueline directly. A middle-aged woman then came in and greeted Bobby politely.
“This is Rosario Albion, and this is Jacqueline Penham.” Bobby introduced them to each other.
“Rosario, Ms. Penham will stay here from now on. She is new here and doesn’t know many things. Please teach her so that she could get used to taking care of my mother as soon as possible.”
“Alright!” Rosario agreed.
“The doctor said that she won’t be able to live for long. As long as we help her live peacefully before she dies, I would have fulfilled my duties as a son. I don’t have the time, so I could only entrust this to you! I hope you won’t let me down!”
Bobby said this to Jacqueline. She looked at the old woman on the bed, who was short of breath. It seemed like she wouldn’t live a long time more. As the saying goes, no pain, no gain. So she gritted her teeth and said, “Bobby, don’t worry. I will take good care of her.”
Bobby nodded. “That would be best! You can familiarize yourself with everything first! Oh right, I want to ask you something about your sister. Where is she buried? I would like to visit her!”
“She… she…” Jacqueline stammered for a while before saying, “She was buried in our hometown, which is pretty far away!”
“It’s okay. Tell me the address. I’ll go and have a look even if it’s abroad!”
Jacqueline was in distress. If she had known that Bobby was so persistent, she would have said that Jacelyn was not buried, but her ashes had been scattered in the river. Now she had to look for a fake grave for Jacelyn to deceive Bobby.
She had to discuss this with Evelyn. Jacqueline immediately said, “My hometown is located in a remote area, and you have to take the mountain roads to reach there. It will be hard to find for those unfamiliar with it. I’ll go with you a few days later!”
Bobby squinted at Jacqueline, and her back was covered with sweat under his gaze. Fortunately, Bobby did not continue to ask, “Okay, let’s go after a few days!”
Bobby then instructed Rosario with something and left in his van. Jacqueline breathed a sigh of relief and immediately called Evelyn to update her on the situation.
Hearing that Jacqueline was arranged to go to the countryside to take care of Bobby’s mother, Evelyn was also stunned. “Isn’t he without family? Since when does he have a mother? Besides, why didn’t he send his mother to a high-end nursing home to be taken care of? Why did he leave her in the countryside?”
“Yeah, I also wonder about this. He is not particularly friendly with me, so I don’t dare to ask more for fear he would be angry and chase me away.”
Hearing Jacqueline’s words, Evelyn had a headache. Bobby definitely didn’t have a mother. This so-called mother of his must be a fake Bobby had put in place. He must not trust Jacqueline and wanted to test her.
The more Evelyn thought about it, the more agitated she became. It would be great if Jacelyn were here. Jacelyn would definitely be able to win Bobby over. Jacqueline was obviously unable to do so.
If she had known this, she would have gone to bring Jacelyn back in person and persuade Jacelyn to work for her. With Jacelyn’s intelligence and Bobby’s feelings for her, she could definitely achieve what she put her mind to.
But now, things had come to this point where they had already told Bobby Jacelyn had died. If Jacelyn were to reappear, the entire plan would be exposed.
As she was silent and annoyed, Jacqueline then mentioned that Bobby wanted to visit Jacelyn’s grave. “Miss, what should we do? My sister is still alive and well. It will be terrible if Bobby finds out that she is still alive. You have to think of something fast.”
After listening to Jacqueline words, Evelyn was stressed out. On top of all the hurdles they were facing, now she had to look for a fake grave to deceive Bobby? If Jacqueline couldn’t manage to please Bobby, Evelyn’s plan would all come to nothing.
This wouldn’t do. It seemed that controlling Jacelyn was the best option. Evelyn hung up the phone and called the bodyguards in. “Do you still remember the way to Jacqueline’s hometown?”
“I do!”
“Hurry up and bring Jacelyn here secretly!”
Three days later, Cadence and Santhosgio’s 100th-day celebration party officially kicked off.
Unlike the celebration before, there were no limitations to the number of guests this time. All the guests who came to offer their congratulations were welcomed into Wolf Group Hotel.
They also didn’t stop the media. The media, which were subsidiaries of Wolf Group, Richard’s company, and the Floyd family, were allowed to enter the celebration venue and report on it.
Although other media were not allowed entry into the hotel, Wolf Group still good-naturedly arranged seats for them and gave them gifts.
The 100-day-old Santhosgio and Cadence arrived at Wolf Group Hotel’s entrance in a Rolls-Royce limo.
There were cameras on both sides. When they saw the main characters of the day arriving, the media swarmed in and surrounded them. Bodyguards in black stood in two rows to stop the reporters while the two babies were carried out of the limo by William and Valeria.
This was the first time Cade and Santhos appeared in public. Although they were surrounded by so many people, they weren’t afraid. Instead, their eyes were opened wide as they looked around, and they were so excited that they were making happy baby sounds.
The reporters buzzed with excitement when they saw Cade and Santhos’ good-looking faces. They were so handsome and adorable!
How could there be such cute and handsome babies! They raised the cameras in their hands and clicked the shutter repeatedly.
The cameras flashed one after another. As they were afraid that the children’s eyes would be dazzled by the lights, Valeria and William used their hands to cover their eyes. The two babies were unhappy and protested discontentedly.
When Hayden and Gavin saw William and Valeria arriving with the two children in their arms, Hayden and Gavin immediately walked up to them. “Let us hold the children. William and Valeria, go and greet the guests!”
Hayden came to hold Cade, and he didn’t refuse it. Instead, Cade smiled happily and made happy baby sounds. Hayden was delighted and kissed Cade all over.
As for Gavin, Santhos refused to let Gavin hold him. He squirmed in his arms and protested. Seeing that Santhos was about to cry, Archer quickly came over and said, “Let me hold you!”
Santhos immediately became happy and grinned with his mouth wide when he saw Archer.
Gavin was extremely disappointed after being rejected by Santhos. He muttered unhappily, “They all say that children are close with their grandparents. Why doesn’t he like me?”
“You are a few generations apart from him! Of course, they won’t like you much. Look at Archer and me. The kids love us because we are their grandparents!”
Hearing Hayden’s words, Gavin glared at him. “Annoying!”
Braelynn and Richard then came over together. Richard reached out and said, “Cade, let me hold you!”
After Cade ignored him, Braelynn pinched Richard on his hand and reached out. “Cade! Come to me!”
Cade smiled at Braelynn. Before Hayden could agree to it, Braelynn had already taken Cade away from him.
When Gavin saw that Hayden’s hands were also empty, he felt more pleased. “Hayden, let’s also go greet our guests!”
