He was the successor of a mysterious European family and the president of a transnational financial conglomerate. Although a bachelor for years, he had a 6-year-old son.
She was the head of the Criminal Investigation Department of the North District Police Station, a dumb violent police officer.
When they first met, she thought he was a mobster. Not only did she crash into his expensive sports car, but even bit him.
He calmly raised his slender fingers with teeth marks and said, "Hester, do you think you can get away after biting me? I want money, or this isn't over."
She buckled when she noticed the bite mark, asking sheepishly, "How much?"
"Let's see. 500,000." He smiled charmingly but was cooking up a plan. "Bucks!"
She only made 4, 500 a month. Bursting into tears, she said pitifully, "What if I can't afford it?"
The smile on his thin lips spread wider. "Then I guess you will make do. I am in need of a girlfriend, and my son a mother."
However, she didn't want to be a stepmother!
The spoiled brat countered, "I don't want that dumb woman to be my mommy! I only agreed to call her mother for Daddy's sake. It's not because I like her or anything!"

The Odyssey of a Woman from Mars

Kina was arrogant, with strongly-marked features; and Bette was elegant, with finely carved features. Besides, Bette was much smarter than Kina.


Being ignored by Hester, Bette was not angry at all. She smiled and said softly, "I didn't expect to meet you here. How are you?"


Hester had planned to act like Bette was not here, but then she realized it wouldn't work. She knew people like Bette particularly well. "If I didn't meet you, I would really be fine," snorted Hester, throwing the shrimp peeled by Dave into the sauce.


Her words meant 'Please leave my sight as soon as possible'.


"I know you don't like me, but I'm your sister. And I'm different from Kina. I always think you as family," Bette replied with a smile.


"Really?" Hester took out the shrimp from the sauce. She ate it and then handed an oyster to Dave. "I want to eat this."
