Mommy Alert! The CEO Daddy Won't Stop Courting-Chapter 398: She Must Stay Alive…

Early the next morning, Malcom Moore took Serena Sterling to work at the office.

Afterwards, they each contacted their own parents to discuss the engagement that night at the Sterling family home.

In the evening, Malcom Moore did not pick up Serena Sterling; she returned to the Sterling home alone.

Hearing that Malcom Moore and his father were coming to discuss the engagement, Victoria specifically rescheduled her classes with other teachers, purchased groceries early, and prepared a big table of food.

In the evening, Malcom Moore and Charles Moore appeared on time at the Morris family.

Seeing the father and son arrive with a large pile of gifts, Victoria greeted them with a smile, "Malcom and the chairman are here, right? Please, come in and have a seat."

As she spoke, Victoria looked inside at Serena Sterling, "Luna, quickly invite the chairman to sit down."

Charles Moore laughed heartily as he placed the items in his hand down and said with a smile, "Mrs. Sterling, no need to be so formal. These two children have come together, from now on we are in-laws."

Sitting down on the sofa with a look of satisfaction, Charles Moore said, "Luna, I’m very happy that you and Malcom have gotten together. If Malcom ever bullies you, just tell me, see if I don’t skin him!"

"Dad, what are you talking about? I love Luna too much to bully her!" Malcom Moore interjected, joining them on the sofa.

Charles Moore glared at Malcom Moore, "Rascal, who allowed you to butt in!"

Serena Sterling poured some tea, handing it to Charles Moore, "Uncle, have some tea."

Charles Moore received it with a smile, "Very good."

Serena Sterling then handed another cup of tea to Malcom Moore, "Have some tea."

Malcom Moore took it, affectionately looking at Serena Sterling, "Luna, did you see that? In my dad’s eyes, you’re way more important than me, his own son."

Serena Sterling blushed, glared at Malcom Moore, and sat down without a word.

"Luna, ignore that rascal, I’ll discipline him for you later!" Charles Moore quickly spoke up upon seeing Serena Sterling’s red face.

Victoria laughed, "In-law, I actually think Malcom is quite good, he wouldn’t bully Luna."

Charles Moore looked at Malcom Moore and agreed, "That’s true, this kid may be mischievous, but he’s thoughtful and considerate. Luna won’t be wronged with him."

The parents from both sides met, and the conversation was so pleasant that they quickly decided to hold Malcom Moore and Serena Sterling’s engagement ceremony early next month.

Everything was harmonious on this side of River City, but things were destined not to be too peaceful in Whitehill because of Lisa’s presence.

Since the palace was attacked and Muir regained power, Lisa has been in prison for over ten days.

During these ten days, apart from her two daughters, Eli and Polly, no one else has visited her.

It seems that she, the queen of Whitehill, has been completely forgotten by everyone.

Moreover, since her detention in this dark, sunless prison, she, who once lived in luxury, can only eat the leftovers given by the guards.

She couldn’t take it.

Since Lisa could remember, let alone leftovers, if the taste of food was slightly displeasing to her, she wouldn’t even touch it.

But here, after starving for several days, Lisa had to eat food that even beggars might not eat just to survive.

She was angry, she hated!

Angry at Muir’s ruthlessness, hating those useless subordinates.

In Lisa’s eyes, the entire world became her enemy, and everyone owed her. It made her want to destroy this cold, heartless world at every moment...

On this day, Eli and Polly came to the prison to visit Lisa.

Knowing Lisa’s situation in prison, they brought some cooked delicacies.

Polly placed the food container in front of Lisa and took out all the food one by one.

Then, she dutifully handed chopsticks and dishes to Lisa, "Mother, my sister and I brought you some food, please eat."

Lisa immediately took it and started eating voraciously.

Watching their once noble and elegant mother, now in tattered clothes, gobbling down food, Polly couldn’t help but feel pain, her eyes turning red, "Mother, eat slowly, there’s no rush."

Eli also stepped forward, poured a glass of water, and handed it to Lisa, "Mother, drink water."

Lisa didn’t take it, even putting down the chopsticks and bowl in her hands.

Grabbing her two daughters’ hands tightly, her eyes crimson, she lamented, "Eli, Polly, you’ve seen the life mother is living here now. Mother has to live every day in this dark, damp prison, accompanied by cockroaches and rats, eating food that’s not fit for human consumption just to stave off hunger..."

Lisa’s current appearance was truly pitiful.

She was no longer the high and mighty queen of Whitehill, having become a prisoner with disheveled hair and ragged clothes.

Although she hadn’t been tortured, just being in such a place, eating such food, was enough to bring her to the brink of collapse.

She knew all this was Muir’s doing.

He wanted to torture her, to trample all her dignity and pride, to turn her into someone she used to disdain, to completely shatter her mentally!

He was torturing her in revenge for Una Sutcliffe!

But how could she be willing to stay here?

She wanted to leave, even if it meant abandoning all dignity and pride.

Only by leaving here, can she have a chance to start over. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

She didn’t mind suffering humiliation; she could eat those slops, abandon everything, as long as she could live!

Because only by living can she seek revenge on Muir, revenge on Una Sutcliffe’s daughter!

She wanted everyone who wronged her to pay the price, even if she had to die, she’d drag these people to hell with her!

She was very unwilling!

Why should her Ellie die, and she be put in this dark place, while Muir can enjoy family happiness with Una Sutcliffe’s daughter!

Lisa held tightly and forcefully onto her daughters’ hands, using so much strength that Polly cried out in pain, "Mother, it hurts!"

Upon hearing Polly’s voice, Lisa quickly eased her grip, at the same time, the terrifying hostility in her eyes quickly vanished.

Tears welled up in her eyes, she looked pitifully at her two daughters and pleaded, "Eli, Polly, you are mother’s last hope. Go and plead with your father, ask him for the sake of the years we spent together, for the fact that I bore you, to let your mother out, please?"
