Kevin had a headache all night after returning home.

Jennifer turned the entire house upside down, looking for the contract papers.

After searching for a long time, she muttered to Marie, "Kevin's playing tricks with me. Why the hell is he not dead yet!"

"What are you on about? Can we still get the compensation for demolition if he's dead right now? It's hundreds of thousands! You've never seen that much money in your lifetime." Marie helped her mother out and frowned. She whispered, "If he's gonna die, he should hold it until we get our hands on that money."

"This is all your fault that I have to live in this sort of difficult life with him." Jennifer moved a stool and looked for it on the top of the shoe cabinet.

An hour had passed, and the mother and daughter's search ended in vain.

Jennifer disdainfully went into the bedroom and made sure that Kevin was asleep before coming out. Then, she went to the dining area to eat the takeaway her daughter ordered.

As they munched on the crayfish, Marie asked, "Mom, who do you think he married when he was younger?

The man of his stature. What's the need to hide the identity of his ex-wife from us?"

"Are you stupid? His ex-wife moved on to a better life after remarrying. That kind of woman is most afraid of her dirty past getting exposed." Jennifer was not planning on giving up. She would continue to look for those papers. She needed to see that woman's name.

Marie ate a crayfish and continued to peel another, "I have collected photos of all the ladies in our city in magazines and newspapers, but I don't think any of them looked like Bianca."

"Bianca's birth mother is heartless as well. She had never seen her again after leaving her behind for more than 20 years. The daughter that she gave birth to," Jennifer sighed twice.

The next day, Kevin went out.

Marie listened to her mother and trailed him from behind.

It was a shame that she failed to do it yesterday. Otherwise, she would have seen Bianca's sacred biological mother!

Kevin took a cab and came to an ordinary cafe.

Marie looked in and dialed her mother's number. " Uncle Kevin's not meeting his ex-wife. He's here to see Bianca." "That b*stard that just refused to drop dead!" Jennifer was fuming on the other line. "He wants to give the compensation money to his daughter? Hell no, I won't let that b*tch get a single cent!"

In the cafe, Kevin lowered his head and stirred a cup of cappuccino.
