Chapter 645: Chapter 645: You Failed To Keep Your Words

Laty was a little girl daring to make great mischief. As young as she, she knew a lot. Hearing Edie’s complaint, she rolled her eyes.

"Miss Lara, please don’t forget. You are the one that suggests taking me to the exhibition. But you got up so late. I called you lots of times, but you didn’t even open your eyes. So I had no choice but went alone. It is you that made mistakes. You failed to keep your words. Tell me, how could I punish you?" Laty said angrily.

Edie rubbed her head embarrassingly.

To prepare for the photo exhibition, Edie was so exhausted these days. When everything was ready, she could finally take a rest. But she wanted to visit the exhibition with Laty. But, she was so tired that she failed to get up so early.

"Laty, I am so sorry. You know what? It is the bed. It cursed on me, like Harry potter...."

"Mommy, could you be more ridiculous?" hearing such a stupid excuse, Laty rolled her eyes.

Edie blushed immediately. She coughed to clear her throat. It was quite embarrassing for her to acknowledge this.

"Laty, I am sorry. It is my mistake. I promise I won’t do this again. Let’s go, find something to eat."

"My uncle said he wants to make dinner for us?"

"What? Really?" Edie froze.

Laty was almost driven crazy, "Mommy, he called yesterday. Why could you forget everything?"

"I didn’t forget. I am just... I am testing your memory." Edie tried to explain to her.

Laty pointed at Edie and said hopelessly, "Edie, pregnancy could make a woman stupid for just three years. I’ve been born for five years. Why are you still so stupid?"

"What do you say? Something might be wrong with my ears. I didn’t hear anything."

Edie said embarrassingly. Then she held Laty’s little hands and stopped a taxi.

Time flew by. It has been five years. She returned back to this city again.

"Uncle" Laty mentioned was Edie’s brother, Clyde Jackson.

Before Laty was born, Clyde arrived in London. When Edie knew Bette was the woman who killed her mother, Clyde appeared in front of her and told her everything to calm her down.

It was until that moment that Edie finally knew everything about her identity.

Her mother was Ann Lara. Ann Lara was more than a normal lady who escaped from her family to marry a man. She was a member of Lara’s.

That was a family with a long history. In the time of upheaval, this family got half territory in Zabreg, dividing the district into half, becoming the most powerful in this area. It was the leading family in Zabreg.

Ann was born in such a family, enjoying the wealth and love in this family.

The Greg’s hasn’t gotten anything at that time. Though the old Greg already established the foundation for the family, Stanley had no gift in business.

When Stanley went on vacation with Tammie, Tammie introduced an elegant lady to Stanley. It was Ann Lara.

Stanley fell in love with Ann for the first sight and started seeking after her.

Ann was raised up in a family full of love. She never experienced any pain. So she was so innocent and kind. She believed every word Stanley said to her. However, unlike Ann, Stanley was an experienced playboy.

Soon, Stanley got Ann’s heart.

They spent lots of time staying with each other, till the old Greg called him and cursed him roughly. The old man even said he wouldn’t give him a penny when he passed away. He would never help him.

Stanley was irritated. He took a deep breath and came up with a plan. He wanted to do something big.

During that period, Alexander Yates died because of the traffic accident, as a result of which Bette fell into desperation.

To help Bette get finance, Tammie sold news to Stanley.

The key secret was locked in the Lara’s safe.

Tammie told Stanley if Stanley promised to give him thirty percent of the profit, he could tell him all the details.

Stanley was tempted.

No one in the Lara’s cared about Stanley. Everyone in her family wanted her to break up with him. Therefore, Stanley made the decision. He decided to persuade Ann to steal the files in the safe. He told Ann that he would take her to his home and get married to her.

Ann wanted to refuse him. But it was too late. She found she was pregnant.

Ann knew nothing about business. So when Stanley told her that file was a tender offer, she believed what he said. Therefore, she didn’t find anything wrong. It was totally okay to get it out for him. If Stanley achieved success in business, her family would agree with her to get married to him. That would be so great.

So she took the files out and went back to A with Stanley. When she really escaped away from her family, she finally realized she made such a big mistake.

After getting back to A, Stanley got more and busier. What was worse was that he became less gender and considerate to her. He placed her in a flat. No matter what she said, Stanley never agreed to take her to his home.

So Ann decided to follow him. When she finally found his house, she found Stanley already got married.

This was like a thunderbolt out of a clear sky for Ann.

She didn’t realize until this moment that she might be fooled. The file she stole out of her family might be more than a tender offer.

But she didn’t dare to return to her home. So she sent an email to her sister Larisser Lara. Larisser told her everything.

The Lara’s was destroyed completely.

The file was much more than a tender offer. It was confidential commercial information and family secrets all these years. After Stanley got this file, he sold it to the Easter’s, another powerful family in Zabreg.

Ann’s father, after knowing it was his dearest youngest daughter that did this and escaped away with that bastard, he drew his last breath in his office.

All of a sudden, the Lara’s lost the leader. Under pressure from the Easter and the government, the Lara finally went bankrupt in eight months.

Such a powerful family was thriving for hundreds of years ended with nothing.

Many people were looking for Ann, among which some wanted to help her while others wanted to tear her up. It was until that moment that Ann realized she became a homeless poor girl.

Bette didn’t know Tammie did this to Ann and the Lara to help her at that time. When she knew this, she already lost the chance to change anything. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

L.N group was the most powerful organization in A. As the vice president of the group, Bette tried all means to help Ann to hide her identity.

Ann was so ashamed that she didn’t dare to go back home or contact Larisser again. She muddled along without any aim to drag out an ignoble existence safely. She thought she was so lucky that no one could find her.

But in fact, it was Bette behind that was helping her.

Bette knew she should apologize to Ann. But she was not brave enough to meet with Ann.

Ann didn’t want to break Stanley’s family. So she decided to raise Edie up alone. She never wanted to bother that family until she found she’s got a malignant tumor. She would die soon. She had no choice but sent Edie to Greg’s.

As time went by, most people forgot the Lara’s, including those who took lots of time to look for Edie. They finally gave up.

Except for Larisser.

She’s already gotten married into the Jackson’s. As the hostess of the Jackson’s, Larisser could leave her home. But she never gave up on Ann.

She was so determined.

When Clyde decided to develop his career in the entertainment circle in A, everyone in his family disagreed, except Larriser. She wanted him to help her find her sister, Ann, and her child.
