Chapter 487

It couldn’t possibly be Norah returning so soon, and I was worried it might be Neil again,

so i took a peek through the peephole first

Ryan and Faith were on the doorstep, looking anxious and worried

Why would they come over?

I opened the doot, and Faith immediately grabbed my hand and anxiously asked, “Irene,

are you okay? Neil said a murderer broke into your house last night and nearly hurt you. I

was scared to death!”

“Faith, I’m okay, thanks to Neil who came to see me. Otherwise, something might have

really happened.” I felt warm that Faith’s concern was heartfelt, not feigned.

They didn’t even need to make a special trip to see me.

Ryan also looked very serious. “Irene, you should have a few people stay at home. You

have two kids who need care. I heard your parents are not around, so you need someone

to help you share the burden!”

I nodded awkwardly and said, “Yes, I know. I’ll hire a couple of nannies these few days to

ensure safety.”

After inviting them in for tea, I ushered Serena and Brandon into the living room.

There was still a faint smell of blood in the yard. Faith frowned when she smelt it. “I can’t

bear to imagine what happened last night. Neil finally did something right!”

“He was hurt too, on his left forearm.” I reminded her.

Faith nodded and said, “I know, but he’s a grown man. A little injury won’t kill him. And he

has Karina, doesn’t he?”

I must say, Faith’s love for her son was unique,

Neil’s injury needed stitches. I wonder if he went to the hospital afterwards. If it got

infected later, it would be a real hassle.

Today, without Karina here, Faith cheerfully picked up Serena, while Ryan held Brandon.

They both had always wanted me and Neil to get back together, so they were very

straightforward.

“If only these were Neil’s kids. We could each hold one. Hiram only came back to us when

he was this big. We never saw him when he was a baby!”

“Yeah, but Irene’s children are our grandchildren. It’s all the same!”

Listening to their conversation without any hint of avoidance, I couldn’t quite describe

what I was feeling. They made me feel guilty for hiding the truth.

Suddenly, Faith remembered something and asked, “Oh, Irene, didn’t you have something

to tell us on Hiram’s birthday? I was out with a friend then. You can tell me now.”

She even shot Ryan a look, making him shift his gaze awkwardly.

Why did Neil ask me this question, and now Faith?

I hesitated, remembering Hiram’s nervous and scared expression. I didn’t have the heart

What kind of person Karina was and whether the Whitmore family could accept her were

their family matter. But sometimes Karina insisted on dragging me into the mess, which I

found repugnant.

“Irene, come here.” Faith beckoned me with a serious face, leading me to the bedroom,

leaving Ryan in the living room with the kids.

In the bedroom, Faith took my hand and said seriously, “Irene, you don’t need to hide

anything from us. You know, whether it was in the past or now, I have always opposed

Karina and Neil being together. But we couldn’t do anything because of Hiram.”

“Faith, can’t you accept her at all?” I asked, somewhat confused.

“No, it’s not just her background. It’s mainly her character. The fake death incident made

me realize that this girl is too cruel and tricky. And hiring people to pretend to be sick, and

the

way she disciplines Hiram – I don’t approve of any of it!” Faith didn’t hide her disdain for

Karina.

Faith was born into a prestigious family and always valued character and conduct highly,

so Karina had been using the wrong methods from the start.

Seeing that I remained silent, Faith gently shook my arm. Her eyes were filled with nth and

determination, which reassured me.

Compared to my mother’s attitude towards me now, I seemed to see my mother’s

in Faith.

“Faith, I hope you’ll believe what I’m about to tell you.” I took a deep breath and decid tell

her everything. After all, not telling didn’t make a difference, as Karina would still

target me.

I told Faith everything in detail, from my suspicion that Karina had tried to harm me

underwater to the fact that Hiram had been used by her. Faith’s face gradually turned

angry and embarrassed as she listened. After all, Karina was her son’s current girlfriend.

Although they weren’t married, they had a child together, and the outside world had

pretty much confirmed that Karina would be the future Mrs. Whitmore.

I played the conversation I had with Hiram earlier for Faith as evidence.

Faith loved Hiram very much and she had always been afraid that Karina would corrupt

him. When she heard the truth, she was so angry that she trembled.

“That venomous woman!” Faith’s chest heaved dramatically, and her face turned red,

looking furious.

I immediately patted Faith’s back to help her calm down. “Faith, don’t get too worked up.

What’s done is done. You should think about how to save Hiram now. If this continues, it

will ruin him.”

The only one I felt sorry for was Hiram. He had such a radical and scheming mother who

used him as a tool.

Children are innocent.

And I couldn’t understand why Karina would treat her own child so cruelly.

“How can I not get worked up? You should know that I gave her a chance only for the sake

of the child. But I didn’t expect her to be so cruel to Hiram. I knew those bad habits of

Hiram’s had to come from somewhere!” Faith patted her chest, feeling like she was going

to faint if she got any angrier.

Before I could say anything, Faith took out her phone and called Neil. Without saying

much, she ordered him to come over immediately.

While waiting for Neil, Faith called Ryan in and repeated everything I had just told her.

Ryan had been a titan in the business world for years, a man of influence and power,

never imagining he would almost stumble so badly over this issue!

His face was ashen, not uttering a single word

I was quietly sitting at the side, allowing them to process their emotions at this moment.

About half an hour later, Neil arrived. His arm was freshly bandaged, and I could tell the

knot in the bandage was different. The room was thick with tension, and he sensed it

immediately, his voice heavy, “What’s going on?”

“Neil, if you still consider me your mother, drive Karina away right now. I only want Hiram,

not that woman as my daughter-in-law!” Faith’s emotions surged, her words filled with

disdain for Karina.
