Chapter 758
“Crimson House is an internationally popr restaurant chain. I know the boss well and he has arranged
a seat for us.”
Upon hearing that there was delicious food to eat, Sophia was excited. She left the dogs at the pet shop
before making her way to Crimson House.
Crimson House came with high ceilings that made the restaurant appear vast and grandiose; even the
dishes looked extremely expensive to be eaten. Sarah seemed unfazed by it and generously ordered
more than ten dishes to be shared by the three of them.
As soon as the menu was handed out to them, she excitedly announced before leaving, “Hang on for a
minute. Let me bring a friend over.”
She returned a whileter—this time with a ck Labrador in tow. “This dog belongs to the boss, Sam
Edwards.”
Sophia stared at the big, ck dog, wondering whether its name was Corrado. True enough, its cor
revealed the truth—it really was Corrado.
Corrado immediately took a liking to Sophia, as if she was an old friend whom he had not seen in years.
He lunged forward to give her a big sloppy kiss but was stopped in time by Tyrell.
When they finished eating at the Crimson House, they left the restaurant and walked around the area to
purchase lipsticks, shoes, and an assortment of items before returning to the cat cafe—where they were
supposed to meet Stanley to discuss the adoption of the dogs.
Upon their return, Sophia noticed that there was another luxury brand for pets called King, situated not
far away from Pourl. This is odd—the same type ofpany has opened another store at such a close
distance. This must have been deliberate…
They were now back at the cat cafe where she asked for a ss of in water once they were seated at
a table. Fearing that Sarah would see her scarred face, she angled her face to the side and gulped her
water.
Sarah was warm and animated when she talked with Sophia about the trendiest shades of lipstick, most
fashionable purses and clothes in the market and more. Sarah was mostly up to date with Bayside City’s
most fashionable things—mainly because her luxury brands for pets started to manufacture the
equivalent for humans as well. So, having a fashion sense was a necessity for her.
Sophia found it interesting to listen to Sarah speaking and continuously nodded her head to what the
latter mentioned. The twodies were so engrossed in their conversation that Linus felt like he could not
interrupt, so he decided to excuse himself to the restroom to make a call.
When Sarah finished talking about the packaging of lipstick, she changed the conversation topic to that
of her husband. “My husband managed to secure the Academy Award for Best Actor winner but chose to
retire from the movie industry. Sigh… It’s such a huge loss to Cethos’ film industry!”
The look on Sarah’s face resembled someone in a dreamy daze as she spoke of her husband—like a
child who was starstruck at the sight of their idol.
Sophia took out her phone and tapped on it before putting it down. “Do you know who Taylor Murray is?”
she asked.
“Of course I know who he is. He was my husband’s golden partner when they were both actors—the
national couple!” Sarah eximed as she covered her face with her hands to hide her flushed cheeks
while reminiscing about the time when Taylor and Ethan were both in her life…
Sophia gave Sarah’s words a thought before typing on her phone. “My father said that Taylor Murray is a
pervert.”
As Sarah stared at the text, she felt a sh of anger, but quickly calmed herself and exined, “He isn’t a
pervert—at least not in the same way as my husband! How can Taylor even be considered a pervert?”
The year after Taylor died, arge number of media outlets wanted to discover where his grave was
located—they were desperate enough to even want to get a shot of the headstone where he was buried.
He allegedly passed away without any announcement—there was no memorial service, a funeral, an
exnation or even a news report on his death. A handful of idiotic news outlets even went as far as to
retrieve his old posts in desperation to create false news when there was nothing to report on. Soon,
they soon spread unverified information about him. It was appalling to fathom that the media wanted to
even mize a person’s death.
It was a pity that Michael had stopped caring altogether by that stage. Taylor no longer existed in the
world and Michael could care less on what the media wanted to report.
Sarah concluded, “Even though they are now both washed-up stars, they will always be my idols in my
heart!”
Sophia chuckled and did not continue to type into her phone. A sarcastic voice suddenly rang from
behind Sarah just as her words hung in the air. “A washed-up actor’s fan who has a sense of superiority?
That’s ridiculous…”
Upon hearing the uttered words, Sarah seemed to sag and copse—she knew who said it even before
she saw the person.
An explosion of scent exploded—on one hand, there was stale perfume from Amazon and on the other
was a fermented oil that smelled flirtatious—and instantly permeated the air. Anyone who caught a trace
of it would never be able to forget it in their lifetime!
Sophia saw that there was a woman behind Sarah—the person wore an elegant fur waistcoat while her
hair was immactely pinned up with the diamonds on her neck and hands shining so brightly that they
could crush metal. She also had a limited-edition purse in hand while looking at Sarah with a grin.
Even if the woman had said something offensive, it did not offend Sarah to the point where she looked
angry. It was more like Sarah was used to it. “Victoria, what are you doing here?”
Four years had passed since Victoria and Peter were married. Judy had offended the West Family and
disappeared four years ago, paving the way for Victoria to take her ce and marry him. She then fell
pregnant before giving birth to two children in the course of three years. As a result, she now held
extraordinary status in the West Family.
Peter West became obsessed with her to the point where she plotted to sever the rtionship between
him and his son. It resulted in his eldest son running away from home and bing independent. Not
only did the son stop visiting the West Family, he even went to court to emancipate himself from Peter.
When Sarah discovered what had happened, there was a rumor among her family members that the
eldest brother of the West Family was fixated by his beautiful stepmother, who was younger than him,
and wanted to take sexual advantage of her. When he was caught by Peter, both father and son threw
punches at each other.
The eldest brother of the Edwards could not fight back—how could he, when he had a hundred people
up against his word? Subsequently, his wife divorced him and took their child back to her hometown. In
one night, he had lost his family, stripped of his share and ce, and driven out of his own house.
It was at the same time when Taylor ‘died’ and Ethan retired from the entertainment circle, causing them
to be washed-up and irrelevant.
For Ethan, his true identity was being the head of Bayside City’s underworld. Ethan Winston was merely
a facade for his acting career and whenever he made a public appearance. It did not make sense for him
to introduce himself as a gangster whenever he met people. It was not the kind of low-key principle that
his gang held either!
Although he was secretly Mr. Winston, he would make an appearance as a washed-up actor—and it
would have been believable if he had actually died. After several years of not filming, he had all but
disappeared and those who were not privy to his life thought that he passed away from his heartbreak
over Taylor.

Once Victoria was stable in her position as the Edward Family’s mistress, she set her sights on Sarah
when she sessfully chased the eldest brother away. Not only was Sarah holding the family’s share in
her possession, the money was also in the hands of her washed-up actor husband and, most
importantly, the house at the Imperial!
However, how would someone be able to snatch another person’s house and shares without a valid
reason? By obviously causing problems!
Now that Victoria noticed that Sarah still had her back against her, she raised her voice where it sounded
like she was shouting. “So, this is how you treat me—I’m your mother!”
Sarah knew what Victoria had in mind—her stepmother wanted to provoke her intoshing out. By
making her lose her temper, it would incite enough trouble to involve her father. Sarah had been deeply
disappointed by the fact that he could not differentiate between right and wrong. Although she still kept in
touch with her elder brother, he vowed that he would never return to the West Family.
She never intended to speak a single word to Victoria and was now cold-hearted. Myst name is now
Winston, so anything to do with the West Family does not bother me whatsoever!
“Sorry, you’re not wee here. Why don’t you return to wherever you came from?” Sarah did not allow
Victoria the privilege for a face-to-face conversation. She merely waved her hand and gave permission to
her subordinate to chase her stepmother away.
If it had not been for her longing to the Edwards Family, she would have left the family a long time—she
was now Mr. Winston’s wife!
However, it was not as easy as Sarah thought to chase Victoria away. Now that she came, there would
be something for her to gain. Although she knew that Sarah would not be easily defeated, she decided to
think of other methods to provoke her.
