Sean called out, “Uno.” Uno immediately pulled out a stack of cash, almost five thousand in all. “Here, sir. A gift from our boss. We came out in a hurry so we don’t have a lot of cash right now. Hope you don’t mind.”As he said that, he ignored the fact that cabbie was completely stunned. Uno just stuffed the money into the cabbie’s hands and chased after Sean, getting into the car.“Call and ask if there are any other flights to Xiamen right about now. Find out if the most recent one has tak
Eventually, she slowly threaded the ring on the chain Alora had given her and put it back around her neck.Now that she was traveling light, she bought a plane ticket to Lijiang.It was only when the plane took off that she let out a long breath. As she felt the plane rise, she knew that her hopes were rising with it. She had finally escaped from that quagmire!The sky over Lijiang was very blue and very close, so close that she could almost touch it if she just reached out her hand. The seco
He shot a look at Uno, who was kneeling in front of him. “Why did you swap out the documents? Are you in cahoots with that old b*stard Summers? Then tell me, where is she?”Where was she? That was what he really wanted to know!“I… I don’t know where the madam is. I… I just gave in to a moment of weakness.”“Enough!” the man barked before massaging his brow. “I only care about one thing. Where is she?” As for Uno, Sean did not give a damn about him at all right now. “Your role here is done. S
“I was wrong about Rosaline Summers. She looked sweet on the surface but was a snake inside. She bribed some thugs to assault Jane and ruin her reputation, but she had no idea that the hunter was also the hunted. You didn’t expect this either, did you? After Rosaline’s karma came back to bite her and she was raped, Grandpa hinted to Summers that the master of the Stewarts could not marry an unclean woman. To think Summers actually did it, killing Rosaline and pinning the crime on Jane. The trail
Yet, the truth behind that power struggle was… that Jane ended up suffering the most of all!She took the fall and crashed from heaven into hell. Right now, Michael suddenly really wanted to know what that woman was thinking!“How did you find out about all this? Even if you managed to discover what Summers and I did, what about the Old Master? I can’t believe that he would leave a trail of his dirty deeds and let you find him out.” Michael looked at Sean coolly.All the cards were on the tab
It had been five days!The man in the study was emanating an immense chill.As he expected, Michael was not completely clueless, but it seemed that he had lost the trail as well. Dos had been secretly tailing Michael the entire time, and he watched as the latter found the cabbie who brought Jane to Hangzhou. After that, he stopped.Michael Luther had followed the same train of thought as Sean had.Sean pulled his lips into an ironic smile… Back then, all of them had a hand in the incident, some of them on purpose and others by accident. Finally, that woman ended up the sacrificial lamb in the war they fought, so she was cast into that steel cage.Now, though, lo and behold, she had single-handedly managed to give all of them the slip, stowing away without as much as a ripple on the lake.“Bravo, sweetheart.” He smiled to himself bitterly.Knock knock.“Come in.”“It’s me, Boss.” The visitor was Alora.The rustle from the bed approached her slowly, and a dark shadow fell over.
Those were clearly fighting words, but Sean just stood on top of the stairs, his pitch-black eyes on his visitor’s taunting face. He did not say a single word in response.The silence stretched on eerily, like the calm before a storm.Mr. Oakes felt like running away for some reason, but his feet felt extremely heavy, as though they had been nailed to the ground. He could not lift them at all.Secretly, he blamed the visitor, Haydn Soros. How could he be so rude? During such a sensitive time,
“So we hurt the woman we loved and covered her in scars. We were destined to lose her in the end.”Sean gave Haydn a long look before shaking his head. “I’m… not like you.” He glanced at the red wine Haydn was holding and said, “I don’t need to drown my sorrows, and I won’t join you for that drink.”Something occurred to Haydn, and he said urgently, “Sean Stewart, are you thinking that you can still get back together with her? Do you really think that woman will come back to you?“You don’t u
