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!"

"Sort of." Hester put Hannah's hands under the quilt and smiled. "I didn't have the ability in the past, nor did I want to beg Augustus. Now ... Since there is a chance, I'll certainly give it a try. My mother has been like this for many years, and I don't want her to live the rest of her life in such a muddle."


Zoey lowered her head and sighed softly, "It's still because of Farley. Hester, sooner or later you will be tied up by him."


Zoey said in a low voice. Hester turned around and asked, "What did you say?"


Zoey shook her head and smiled, "Nothing. I know that Hannah was taken away by Augustus this time. Did they want to threaten you?"
