Chapter 67 Incredible Stroke of Luck

Her luck wasn't that good! To be noticed by a wealthy man like Hassan was a rare stroke of luck that wouldn't come in a hundred lifetimes. Or perhaps, it was his luck that was finally turning.

Savoring the red wine with elegance, Timothy maintained his composed smile.

Elena took the glass of red wine and took a sip. "I..."

"I really wish I hadn't met him," Elena murmured.

Suddenly, Timothy remembered something and asked in astonishment, "About a month ago, at an auction, I saw Hassan auctioning off a woman."

Elena's face turned as red as burning fire. She lowered her head and nodded forcefully. "Yes, it was me! That bastard, he's so shameless."

A deep sense of sadness flickered in Timothy's eyes as he shook his head and said, "Let bygones be bygones. At least now you're free. Here, I wish you all the best."

With great effort, Elena lifted her spirits and clinked glasses with him, but her mind was still in a daze.

After two glasses of wine, Elena finally had the strength to walk.

She wasn't the kind of person who could withstand such intense battles. After going through this ordeal, she had almost depleted all her energy.

"Thank you, Timothy. If it weren't for you standing up for me, I might have been taken away by him long ago."

Timothy simply smiled and said, "It's what I should do. You look exhausted. Come, let me take you home."

"Yes, let’s go."

Timothy received a call from his mother's bodyguard who hurriedly approached him.

"Young master, your mother is on the phone!"

Timothy took the call and smiled at Elena, saying, "Sorry, I have to take this call."

"Okay!" Elena nodded and sat in the chair, waiting.

Timothy took his phone and walked to a corner of the hall.

"Mother, is there something you need?"

"Are you with that little slut?"

"Mother, Elena is Annie's sister, not some little slut. Can you please show her some respect?"

"Timothy, are you trying to lecture me? You're so unfilial."

Daria's voice on the phone was sharp and piercing.

Timothy patiently listened until she finished. No wonder his father had always wanted to divorce her. Not many people could tolerate his mother's jealous nature.

"Mother, did you call just to say these things?"

"You bring that little slut to me immediately. I have something to ask her."

"I'm sorry, mother, but I've already told you that you can't harm her."

"Have you lost your mind? You fell for this little enchantress at first sight. Do you know she was Hassan's mistress, discarded by so many men? Would you still like to play with this filthy stuff?"

Daria's insults became increasingly offensive.

Timothy listened with a stiff upper lip, waiting for her to finish before solemnly saying, "Since you already know she was Hassan's mistress, do you dare to harm her?"

"What's Hassan worth? His Dragon Gang can no longer threaten England. Besides, men like him treat women as mere accessories. If he hadn't grown tired of her, how could she have ended up in the Robinson family?" Daria sneered.

"Don't other people know who the Robinson family is? Doesn't Hassan know? If he's willing to let her come, it means he has already given up on this woman.”

"Mother, I am quite speechless now. In any case, you cannot harm her. From now on, Elena will live with me. I will personally take care of her needs."

"You actually fell in love with her? Timothy, you can't do this."

"Mother, she is waiting for me. I have to hang up now. Please, be good to her for my sake." Timothy ended the call without caring about Daria's reaction.

But Daria called again. Timothy frowned, pondered for a moment, and then turned off his phone, throwing it to the bodyguard behind him.

Straightening his suit, he said coldly, "If madam calls later, say I am busy and unable to answer."

"Understood, young master!"

Timothy gracefully walked towards Elena with a gentle smile on his face.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting. Let's go now."

"It's okay! I'm sorry for troubling you."

Robinson Family Villa

It was already past midnight. Elena had been drinking, and her face was flushed. Timothy supported her as they entered the hall. They stood close to each other, looking like a young couple in love.

This scene deeply pained Daria's eyes. It seemed as if she saw her husband embracing Sarah on the dance floor years ago.

"Timothy!"

Just as they entered the hall, a stern voice came from the sofa.

Timothy turned around and saw Daria sitting on the sofa, coldly staring at him.

Elena, still intoxicated, had no idea what was happening. She looked towards the sofa but saw only a hazy figure.

"Take Miss Walker to Miss Robinson's bedroom to rest," Timothy quietly instructed the two maids.

The maids respectfully nodded and helped Elena walk towards the bedroom.

The anger in Daria's heart burned even stronger. A third-rate actor's illegitimate child actually dared to call herself the Robinson family's Miss Robinson.

After Elena's figure disappeared behind the bedroom door, Timothy walked towards the sofa.

"Mother, aren't you going to sleep?"

Daria looked at Timothy sharply. "Timothy, you are rebellious. You even refuse to answer my calls because of this vixen."

"Mother, I am busy."

"Busy? What are you busy with? I raised you painstakingly, sacrificing the best years of my youth, yet you won't even spare me a minute for a phone call. Are you busy sleeping with her?"

Timothy had a headache.

"Mother, calm down. We really don't have..."

"Timothy, don't think I don't know your promiscuous nature, just like your womanizing father. You can't keep your legs closed when you see a pretty woman. Let me tell you, I don't care if you play around with other women, but Elena, that slut, I absolutely won't allow her to stay in the Robinson family."

"Mother, calm down. Elena is just accompanying Annie for a few days and then she'll leave."

"Are you planning to take her to meet that illegitimate child?"

"Mother, do you have a problem with that too? Here, have a slice of watermelon, cool off." Timothy gently offered a piece of watermelon to Daria.

Daria took the watermelon and forcefully threw it onto the floor. "Are you trying to anger me so that you can bring Sarah back home and make her your stepmother, conveniently fooling around with this vixen?"

Daria's unreasonable behavior finally infuriated Timothy, and he coldly stared at the glaring puddle of watermelon juice on the floor.

"Escort madam back to her room!"

Two bodyguards walked over. "Please go back to your room, madam!"

Timothy's rigid attitude shocked Daria, and she stood up abruptly.

"Let me tell you, Timothy, don't push it too far..."

"Mother, you should restrain yourself a bit. Don't think I don't know about you drugging my father. I won't expose it because you both are my parents. I don't want to shatter that illusion. Annie did nothing wrong. The moment she entered the Robinson family, you sent her to a mental institution. You don't care about the reputation of the Robinson family, but I do! Don't go too far in your actions. Don't assume that everyone is a fool. You're not the only one who’s clever."

Timothy arrogantly exposed Daria's true colors, leaving her stunned and incredulous.

Since childhood, her father was a big shot on Bay Street, and she lived a domineering and extravagant life. Later, she set her eyes on the then young and handsome Mr. Robinson. She pursued him relentlessly and eventually became his wife.

After marriage, she inherited her father's entire business and helped her husband manage it, turning the Robinson family into the wealthiest aristocratic family in England. But she could never change her indulgent nature and overcome her desire to control her husband and son.

In the third year of their marriage, she discovered that her husband was frequently cheating on her and constantly changing women. One by one, she discreetly got rid of the women around him, but his heart grew more and more distant from her.

Until Sarah appeared, he utterly despised her and was even willing to give up all his wealth, leaving her with nothing, just to divorce her.

She would never allow that to happen. She deceived Mr. Robinson and secretly drugged him, making him jump between clarity and confusion.

But even after all these years, whenever her husband was lucid, he always asked for Sarah's whereabouts.

18 years had passed, and he still couldn't forget that woman. The bitterness was hard for Daria to swallow. Even her obedient son had started to rebel against her, almost making her tremble with rage. "Fine, Timothy, my son, I won't let you get your way." Daria didn't wait for the bodyguard to take action. She left on her own.

Timothy watched as Daria's figure disappeared into the distance and turned to the bodyguard standing beside him. "Rami, keep a close eye on my mother these days. Don't let her be alone with Elena."

"Yes, young master!" Rami replied.

At this moment, The Blue Lake was enveloped in the dark night. Parked by the beach, near a stretch of trees, was a black Rolls-Royce. The engine had long been turned off. Even if someone approached, it would be difficult to notice the car as it blended into the darkness of the night.

Inside the car, there was only a palm-sized blue screen that flickered. On the screen was a room in the Robinson family's villa, where Elena lay sound asleep on a soft, large bed. The camera angle perfectly captured her face. Although she slept peacefully, the swelling on her little face still pained Hassan's eyes.

This high-tech micro pinhole camera had been discreetly placed by Nabil on Elena's clothes at the casino. It was nestled in the crevice of her arm, perfectly hidden by her hair. It was as small as a green bean, and unless one looked closely, it would go unnoticed.

From leaving the casino to now, ten hours had already passed. During this time, Hassan's gaze remained fixed on the video screen, his eyes bloodshot, unwilling to take a break.

Fortunately, from the casino to the Robinson family's villa, Timothy behaved like a gentleman and didn't engage in any unfaithful behavior towards Elena. Otherwise, Hassan would have already sought revenge on the Robinson family.

Suddenly, the lights in the room turned on, and a man's figure appeared by Elena's side. Hassan immediately felt extremely nervous.
