When Agatha saw Edith in a plain-colored dress and a white carnation hairpin on the side of her head, she immediately became furious. "Don't you know what day it is today? Why are you dressed like someone has died?"Virginia immediately stood up to ease the situation. "Mrs. Carrington Senior, don't get mad. Edith looks great like this too. Besides, we're only having a meal today. It's nothing too formal.""You don't have to stand up for her. She's doing this to go up against me! She's deliberately infuriating me!"Although Agatha was 100 years old, she still had a terrifying demeanor. She glared at Edith angrily. "What are you still standing there for? You're late! Don't you know how to apologize? Do I need to teach you such manners?""Fine." Edith was expressionless. At that moment, she was extremely calm.She walked over to the table and looked around the room. "Since everyone is here today, I would like to say something. I don't approve of this marriage," she proclaimed fir

Once they returned home, Ella immediately called the private investigator. "How is the investigation going along?""Ms. Ferguson, we…"Ella frowned when she heard the other party hesitate. "Don't tell me you found nothing.""We know where the woman's staying, but the place is under Mr. Carrington's name."The private investigator sounded troubled. "The woman has gone missing. Our lead has gone cold.""Missing?""Yes, two days ago, we asked one of the cleaning ladies. That woman left a long time ago. She won't be returning."The private investigator sighed. "It will be like searching a needle in a haystack if we were to try to look for her."Ella was silent for a long time. "Continue to keep an eye on Otto. I'm guessing that the woman will appear once more. Let me know immediately when that happens."This time, she would do it quietly without raising any alarm. …Over at the border, Yvonne had no idea that Ella was onto her.She hadn't been in touch with Otto after she had

"Howard's old lap dog. He's called Wilbur O'Malley."At the thought of Wilbur, Betty became furious. "He's despicable! When Howard was around, he promised he would care for us. Once Howard passed away, he got men to chase us away!""What a terrible person!" Yvonne gritted her teeth. "He will get what he deserves for doing such evil things!"Betty sighed heavily. "It's usually the good ones who leave this world early. The evil ones live for a long time. Howard was such a good person, yet he left us so early."At the mention of Howard, Betty felt heartbroken. "If Howard had been around, those bastards wouldn't have made a mess of the market.""Yo! Charlotte, good business today!" A lecherous voice rang out.Yvonne's gaze darkened. Speak of the devil.Charlotte looked behind Yvonne with a stern face. "Mr. O'Malley, what else do you want? We paid our protection fees a long time ago!""What kind of monster do you think I am?" Wilbur led a few men to the stall. He picked up a gemston

"She's an old friend. I haven't seen her for a long time, so I was just curious."Charlotte believed Yvonne. "I see. Then, what else would you like to know? I'll tell you everything I know.""Do you know how Jane ended up with Cory?""Yes, I would like to know about that too." Calbert went in closer. "Sloan loved another woman before this. How did he end up with Jane?""Uh…" Charlotte looked a little troubled. "I'm not sure about this, but I heard other people say that it was because Ms. Ford looks a lot like Cory's dead wife. "Cory only arrived at the border this year. He doesn't show himself much. No one knows much about him. We only know he isn't to be messed with."Calbert furrowed his brows. "Jane looks like Ashley Webb?""You know his dead wife?" Yvonne asked."I only met her once." Calbert was perplexed. "Just when she was dying. How could I remember what she looks like?"Yvonne was speechless. Calbert was only good at fighting. He was terrible at everything else."

After chasing off Wilbur and his men, Calbert entered the market. He pointed at the stall in the best spot. "This spot will be for my sister."The vendor there was furious but didn't dare to say anything. They were forced to accept it. Charlotte was surprised. "Is that alright?""Why wouldn't it be alright?" Calbert looked at Charlotte. "From today onward, I call the shots in this market. When I'm not around, you call the shots.""But…" Charlotte hesitated. "I'm just a girl. How could I manage—""Don't worry, I'll arrange for people to assist you."Then, Calbert scanned around coldly. He was so terrifying that the vendors were scared half to death. "If anyone has any opinions about you or dares to bully you, my men won't let them go."Calbert was extremely scary. Now that he had warned them, who would dare say anything?Thus, everyone raised their hand and promised. "We'll take good care of Charlotte! We won't bully her!"Calbert slowly retracted his gaze. "That's more like i
