When the affair between Colin and Avril spread all over the city, Fannie offered the event to tempt Colin to go back to America to continue his study. She said that as long as he insisted on one more year and finished his MBA, she would promise him to be with Avril after he came back, and she would not care where he took Avril.
At that time, Colin was so anxious that he almost had no choice. And Avril also begged him to leave in pain. In order not to hurt Avril, and also for a better life in the future, Colin listened to Fannie and really went back to the United States.
But he didn't expect that things had changed after he came back from America. The doctor had proved that Avril died because of depression, but he didn't believe that Avril would die so easily. Before he left, Avril was still very healthy. Why did she suffer from depression and commit suicide in the year he was away.
When he was in the United States, he often called back to ask about Avril. His family always told him that she was fine. He had also made a video call with Avril. It was normal for him to see her at that time, but Avril still didn't want to see him, so she just watched for a few seconds and hung up. He thought everything at home was normal, but he didn't expect that things had slowly become abnormal. It was too late when he came back. Avril was dead!
This matter was undoubtedly a huge blow to Colin, but Fannie was happy, because she finally achieved her goal. She forced Avril to die, so that her son could get rid of the woman, and get the attention and trust of Gilbert again.
But from then on, Fannie became worried. Every time she saw Avril's belongings or news about her, she would always be annoyed and couldn't bear to see it. In the end, she didn't want to mention this woman at all, and she hated her son to find many women who looked like Avril to play with.
She didn't stop that Colin wanted to have fun with women, but she didn't want him to find a woman similar to Avril every time, which would make her feel that her son was still unable to get rid of Avril. And Avril was also a shadow for her, a shadow that almost destroyed her strategy.
Fortunately, the women that Colin found were not very reliable. They would leave as soon as they got the money, or even if she didn't personally deal with them, Colin would get tired of playing with them and abandon them. Until the appearance of Melissa, it seemed to have completely disrupted the pace of Colin's romantic life all the time.
Colin began to wholeheartedly raise only one woman, and Melissa looked like Avril most, not only in appearance, but also in character.
At that time, Fannie was very vigilant. After knowing that Melissa's family was down and out, she had made trouble for her family several times, but later she was stopped by Colin. It seemed that Colin didn't pay much attention to her. Even if he stayed with her every day, he wouldn't completely treat her as Avril, and he wouldn't treat her in the way he wholeheartedly loved Avril.
Gradually, Fannie felt relieved. She thought that Melissa was just a woman who was more tragic and cannon fodder than before. When she saw that Colin was indifferent to her, she ignored her completely.
But she didn't expect that after 5 years, Colin would be changed by Melissa. He fell in love with this woman, and for the sake of her, he was unwilling to marry Miss Linn, who was of great help to his career!
Candy stole a few glances at Melissa, and became more indignant. She snorted and continued to wash the dishes.
