Upon knowing the sequence of events, the burden in Matthew’s heart was lifted but his mood remained gloomy. Matthew left the door and rushed toward the airport. Halfway there, he recalled what his mother and Francis had said. Molly must have met up with someone before her death. His mother said that Molly ran out of the cafe crying, so that person who made her sad and hopeless must have been in the cafe. This meant that after Molly was hit by a car, his mother was not the only one who did not save her. In fact, the person who was secretly hiding was the real murderer. He was so frustrated and muddled-minded just now that he forgot to ask who Molly had met. When Madam Henderson heard that her son had run out and gone straight to the airport, she sulked at home alone. However, she did not expect that her son would turn back and suddenly appear in front of her. “Mom, who was that person that Molly met the other day?”Seeing that all her son could think about was Molly’s accid
After knowing that Michael had not been spending the night at home, Serena started to secretly follow him. She lingered at his company entrance during the day and trailed his car in the evening to find out where he was going to spend the night. Michael was very busy during the day and he drove home alone after he got off work at night. Serena followed behind quietly, watching Michael drive his car into Oak Lake Villa. She knew before that Michael had a luxurious villa here, and she even once thought that it was for their marriage. However, Michael had never mentioned it in front of her, let alone brought her here, which she had been looking forward to him taking her here to live in this villa. Serena’s car was stopped by the neighborhood’s security guard as the security measures in this neighborhood were very strict. Every household was registered in the system and outsiders could not enter without the residents guiding them in. Serena could not call Michael for him to take h
Michael looked at her after turning around, “What do you mean?”“I’m reminding you that I’m Christina and not Serena. So I’m not someone you can order around!” Michael’s expression changed all of a sudden. Initially prepared to walk into the kitchen, he paused right then. He glared at Christina with eyes that were almost igniting sparks for a few seconds, then took off his apron and threw it on the floor before striding away. Christina smiled, not being bothered by Michael’s departure. This was what she wanted anyway. After Michael left, Christina opened up her bag and took out ovulation test strips for a test. Moments later, she saw two purple-red lines showing up, but the colors look relatively light. It seemed that her ovulation would be occurring in the next few days. Serena drove home angrily and told Sophia about her seeing Christina enter Oak Lake Villa. “Mom, what should we do now?” Sophia sneered. “Since she acted so recklessly, I’ll just do her a favor.” “What
Although Christina was feeling particularly reluctant deep inside, she could only shoot the works for the sake of her son. If Michael wanted her that night, she would not refuse his wish, instead, she would even synchronize with his needs. She was already emotionally prepared right then. However, Michael had been busy in his study, so Christina ended up falling asleep as she was too tired. Even though the day had arrived, it was not her official ovulatory time. Hence, there was no need for her to seduce Michael proactively. When Christina arrived at her office the next morning, she found that the atmosphere was a little odd as she kept feeling like someone was watching her in secret. At first, she thought she was thinking too much. However, when she went to the bathroom later, she overheard two female colleagues discussing something. “I thought she looked familiar in the beginning, but it turns out that she was the one that went on a reality dating show on TV.” “Tell me a
“This shameless woman should be exposed. Let everyone witness her contaminated body and soul.” “I want to beat her up so badly!” The camera lights kept flashing, stinging Christina’s eyes. Surrounding her ears were all vicious verbal attacks. Worse even, a female ‘reporter’ came forward and pulled her hair forcefully. Christina had never once fought. The pain that she felt from her hair being pulled made her move her hands around to shield herself from those fists and slaps. Fortunately, the security guards of the building appeared just in time. Her manager also rushed out of the building to save Christina from the chaos and called Michael to report the situation. Once Michael received the news, he could not care about going to work. Instead, he immediately called Christina. Upon discovering her phone could not be reached, he drove over to Christina’s office by himself. When Michael arrived at Christina’s office, she was no longer there. Those women and reporters who were m
By the time Michael reached the foot of the hill, the sky already turned dark. It was dangerous to head up the hill at night. He ran up the hill and tripped over rocks multiple times. His arm was already bleeding by then. When he finally reached the cemetery, the surrounding was dark and he could not see anything at all. Not knowing which Molly’s tombstone was, Michael started shouting in panic, “Christina...Christina…”No one responded to him in the dark, the cold breeze from the top of the hill kept blowing his way. He kept yelling while searching for Christina, and suddenly his feet stumbled on something. Looking down, he found a lady’s shoe. As expected, Christina was on the hill. Following the navigation in his memory, he slowly felt his way around the tombstones nearby Molly’s, and finally noticed a small figure curled up on the ground. “Christina!” Feeling distressed, he shouted her name and stretched out both of his hands quickly to embrace her in his arms. Christin
Both Sophia and Serena overheard Miss Laura on the phone from downstairs, and they knew it was from Michael. As the night wore on, Michael no longer gave them a call. The mother and daughter glanced at each other. “It looks like Michael had found that witchy woman.” “Mom what should we do now?” Serena asked. “If we pretend to know about it, it will instead arouse Michael’s suspicion. Call him and say that you just saw the news on the internet, then ask how Christina is doing now.” Serena nodded and took out her phone to dial Michael’s number. However, no one picked up from the other end, and it was the same thing even though she kept calling multiple times. “Mom, Michael didn’t pick up. Has he started to suspect me?” Before Sophia could speak, Serena’s phone rang and it was Wendy’s number.“Serena, bad news, those reporters...they…” Wendy got so nervous that she got tongue-tied. “Serena, these people...were taken to the detention center!”“What did you say” Serena also pan
“It’s Serena’s best friend Wendy. She had someone share the posts on the internet, and she was also the one who hired a group of internet ghostwriters to create such a mess. Those fake reporters who assaulted Assistant Williams are all her relatives.” Matthew glanced at Michael and sneered insinuatingly. “Wendy is just a pawn. Continue investigating. I won’t believe that no one is behind all of this!” Michael’s face took on a ghastly expression. Matthew could think of the things that Michael had in mind. The only connection between Wendy and Christina was Serena. Besides this, Wendy did not have any reason to go against Christina. As he was about to give Serena a call, a phone call came from her first. Her voice sounded anxious and she was almost in tears. “Michael, have you found my sister?” Michael replied with an “mmph”. “Michael, I kept calling you earlier, but you didn’t pick up. I was so anxious.” “What are you anxious about?” Michael asked in a cold voice. “Michael
