The birthday banquet unexpectedly ended with Ariana being hammered to death.
The Keller family reviewed the surveillance footage of the banquet hall and discovered that Ariana entered with the invitation card. It was confirmed that Angelina Rosario, the youngest daughter of the Rosario family, had indeed lost the invitation card. She admitted that she had taken the invitation card to the bar to show off to her friends, and afterwards, the invitation card disappeared.
Royce was skeptical about this and suspected that Angelina and Ariana were plotting together, so he accessed the surveillance footage from the bar. The footage was relatively clear, and it indeed showed Ariana taking the invitation while Angelina and the others were at the dance floor.
So it was unexpected for Ariana to be able to attend the banquet, but the fact that she was able to publicly play the video indicates that Ariana had bribed someone and taken action.
One of the hotel waiters we
Zoey furrowed her brow and asked, "Who could that person supporting her be?"Russell wiped the corners of her lips with a tissue, "The fox will show its tail sooner or later. Demanding an answer now may not necessarily yield good results."Zoey nodded."Have some more, you burned too many calories last night."Zoey was speechless.Russell looked at her flushed cheeks and chuckled, "I have a gathering tonight, so I might come back late."Zoey nodded and said, "Then I will prepare a hangover soup for you tonight.""Okay.""If it's past ten o'clock, you should go to bed first.""It's okay, I'll wait for you no matter how late it is."Russell felt warm in his heart, "Okay, I will try to come back early."The two of them finished their meal and then headed to the underground parking garage.Troy had been waiting there for a long time.Because Russell had a party in the evening and couldn't pick up
Underground car park.Troy opened the back door of the car, and Russell sat in the back seat.Nathalie wanted to follow and sit inside, but she saw Russell taking off his suit jacket and placing it on the seat next to him.Nathalie knew what the man meant; he didn't want her to sit inside.She could only close the back door of the car and sit in the passenger seat.Throughout the journey, Nathalie kept trying to chat with Russell, but he only responded briefly. In the end, he took out his laptop and started typing directly.Nathalie felt a great sense of frustration, especially when she learned that Russell had ended up in a wheelchair because he was trying to save Zoey. This made her hate Zoey even more.The high and mighty Russell, surprisingly, became so infatuated with a woman that he disregarded his own safety in order to save her.Zoey was unworthy, she didn't deserve it!She tightly held her handbag, she was deter
When Russell returned to the apartment, he only smelled a sweet and sour scent in the air, and did not see Zoey's figure.He put down the gift box in his hand, took off his suit jacket and hung it at the entrance, and walked into the bedroom, but Zoey was not there.He guessed that Zoey was probably sketching in the study.Gently pushing open the study door, I saw Zoey already asleep, lying on the desk.Walking up to the table, he looked at the girl's delicate and peaceful sleeping face, and his heart softened.He bent down to give Zoey a light kiss on her cheek, but when he was just inches away, the girl grabbed hold of his shirt collar.Zoey opened her eyes, her long eyelashes fluttering like raven feathers. "Does Mr. Maddox want to steal a kiss?"Russell leaned on the table with one hand, while the other rested on the back of the chair. His dark eyes, like the vast deep sea, were profound and mysterious."I really wanted to,
The coffee shop downstairs from the Maddox Group.Zoey and Nathalie sat face to face.Nathalie ordered a cup of black coffee and slowly sipped it. Then, she placed it on the table and looked at Zoey, saying, "I was very dissatisfied."Zoey raised an eyebrow slightly, "So, I came here just to listen to you complain?"Nathalie stared at Zoey with a resentful look in her eyes, slamming her hands on the table, causing the coffee in her cup to spill over. "What is it that I lack compared to you? I am not inferior to you in terms of looks, physique, or talent. Why did Shen choose you? He ended up paralyzed because he saved you! Do you know how much he suffered? Have you been there for him during his most painful moments? Did you witness the difficulties he faced when creating the Storm Organization? Did you accompany him through the process of slowly standing up and walking again? Have you ever created artificial intelligence with him? No! None of it! It was me
Upon hearing Russell's question, Carolyn nodded and said, "Yeah, I think Lola is really great. It was her who helped me find Carsen to fix my robot dog that night."Russell fell silent for a moment and then asked, "How did you happen to meet her?"Carolyn said, "My robot dog malfunctioned and ran off without following the route I planned. I found it in the backyard based on the location on the remote control."Russell, sitting in the passenger seat, glanced back and said, "So you met Lola in the backyard?""Yeah," Carolyn blinked her eyes, "I found the robot dog and was walking back when I met Lola at the corner."Russell furrowed his brows and asked, "Why did she appear there?""I didn't ask. She asked me how I ended up there, so I told her about looking for the robot dog," Carolyn felt he was very serious, like interrogating a criminal. "What's wrong, Russell? Do you have any questions?"Russell lowered his gaze and said, "It's noth
After a week of working day and night, thirty-five sets of dresses were completed.When the crew members saw these beautiful dresses, their eyes couldn't help but light up.Whether it was the design, craftsmanship, or materials, everything was of top-notch quality, even the buttons were exceptionally exquisite.A good movie is not only about the actors and the plot, but also about the costumes and props.Madeleine had many dresses because she was the female lead. She couldn't help but admire each exquisite dress."Zoey, your design is truly exceptional, surpassing even the Star from Galaxy Studio. However, I also appreciate the design of Star. To be honest, your design styles are quite similar."Just as Zoey was about to reveal that she was Star, she saw Hailey, who had been kicked out of the design studio by her earlier, walking towards her.Hailey greeted Madeleine first and then smiled, pursing her lips, saying, "Ms. Harmon."
The man in the back seat of the car closed his laptop on his lap, and he looked at Zoey. His thin lips moved slightly as he spoke that sentence.Zoey looked at him with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses perched on his straight nose, giving him a restrained yet sexy look.She leaned in, extending her index and middle fingers to dance on his arm, tracing along his arm all the way up to his shoulder, neck, and finally his handsome chin, before pinching it.She raised an eyebrow and said, "Excuse me, sir, who do you think you are to speak such frivolous words to me?"Russell chuckled lightly and reached out to wrap his arm around her slender waist, pulling her into his embrace. "I was your man."When Troy opened the driver's cabin door, he happened to hear this sentence.He sat down and immediately raised the partition.Zoey glanced and chuckled softly, "Troy was sorry."Russell lightly brushed his nose against hers and said, "Don't wo
The next morning.When Zoey woke up, she saw Russell gazing at her affectionately."Awake?"Zoey, afraid that he would come again, instinctively moved back a little.Unexpectedly, the man embraced her, and the scorching heat instantly spread throughout her body, making her face blush and her heart race uncontrollably."I had to go to the film crew later, I couldn't be late.""Hmm," Russell caressed her smooth back, inch by inch, eroding her rational nerves.He was extremely gentle, "Zoey, did you feel comfortable last night?"Zoey bit her lower lip, listening to the man's enticing voice."Don't speak.""Hmm." Russell parted her lips with his fingertips and lightly brushed his fingertips against them. "I won't say, just do."He turned over and pressed the person down, "Zoey, you promised to compensate me."Zoey had just wanted to ask him when she had agreed, but before she could speak, the man's kiss
Just at the critical moment, Gilberto lifted his foot and kicked the man in the chest, and the silver light flashed by.The man was kicked and flew to the ground, the dagger in his hand clattered and fell, with a touch of blood stained on it.Gilberto walked briskly forward and lifted his foot, stepping on the chest of the latter, who spurted out a mouthful of blood."Speak! Who sent you?"Gilberto's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and his voice was cold and ruthless.The man grabbed his trouser leg with one hand and reached out to search for the dropped dagger with the other hand.Just as he was about to touch the dagger, his hand was firmly stepped on by Russell.The man was unable to move and let out cries of pain from his mouth.The security guards quickly rushed up, subdued the person, and called the police.Zoey approached and saw Gilberto's light-colored jeans were torn, furrowing her brows she asked, "Did
On the fourth day after Leanna left, Toby came to Russell's office.He sat on the visitor chair with a gloomy face, "I couldn't find her, help me."Russell's pen paused as he reviewed the contract, and he looked up at the other person. "You could make a different request."Toby squinted his eyes, "Russell, I never expected you to be afraid of your wife."Russell faintly curled his lips, "At least I had a terrifying wife, unlike someone who lost their wife and didn't even have a chance to be scared."Toby was speechless.He didn't expect that Russell turned out to be a husband slave, obeying his wife's every command."I was very worried about Leanna's situation. There was a misunderstanding between her and me, and I don't think Zoey wants Leanna to be unhappy either."Russell laughed and said, "Leanna said that the old must go and the new must come, she will find a man who will make her happy."Toby said, "...You will hav
In this case, Zoey had already asked her many times.Before, Leanna used to deny it, but this time she remained silent.Leanna took out a tissue and blew her nose again. She let out a sigh and accepted it."I never expected that I would actually fall in love with a rotten cucumber."Zoey smiled and said, "Perhaps there was some misunderstanding among all this?"Leanna snorted lightly, "What misunderstanding? I think he was having an affair with Christine!"Zoey called the waiter and ordered a cup of coffee and a cup of hot milk.She picked up the hot milk and slowly poured it into the coffee. "When you add milk to coffee, you can't see its original color anymore, so you can't say that milk is black, it's just that you can't distinguish it right now. Many things shouldn't be judged by their appearance, but by their essence. I think it would be better for you to directly ask Toby. Whether we separate or not, we shouldn't misunderstand e
Leanna suddenly pushed away the man's shackles, quickly got up, and covered the blanket in front of her with both hands, "What have you done to me?"Toby propped himself up with both hands, lazily leaning against the headboard, with the blanket covering his waist, revealing his well-defined chest and strong abdominal muscles.He stretched out his long arm and took the cigarette box from the bedside table, lighting one.He took a deep breath and blew a smoke ring towards Leanna, who coughed a few times.Her eyes were red, "Toby, what did you do to me!"Toby said leisurely, "I brushed your teeth, took a bath for you, wiped your body, and did what a man does for a woman."What did the man do to the woman?Isn't that...Leanna felt very aggrieved as she thought about how Toby had taken away her first kiss, and now her virginity had been taken away inexplicably.He was clearly flirting with another woman and then touched her.
The River Apartments in the Woodmerrow city center, where every inch of land is precious.Christine looked towards the bathroom and heard the man inside humming a tune while taking a shower. A glimmer of excitement flashed in her eyes.Standing by the window, she watched as a black Maybach approached, her smile deepening at the corner of her lips.The bright window reflected her sinister smile, and then she raised her hand and slapped herself twice, messing up her hair and shirt.She picked up a pill from the table, popped it into her mouth, and then put the medicine into the man's bag.The sound of the showerhead in the bathroom stopped, the door opened, and a man with a confident stride walked out, wearing only a towel around his waist.He raised his hand and wiped the water off his face, with a smile playing at the corners of his mouth.The smile froze on his face when he saw the woman in a disheveled state, sobbing."What,
The colorful laser lights dazzled people's eyes, and the heavy metal music also made them feel dizzy.Leanna lifted her eyelids and looked at the man in front of her. Suddenly, she burst into laughter and patted the man's shoulder. "Hey, young man, you insist on looking like my plastic husband instead of resembling someone else?"Toby frowned, "Plastic husband?""Yeah!" Leanna's eyes were unfocused as she burped, "He and I had a plastic relationship, as fake as it could get."Toby pursed his lips slightly and said, "Isn't it on a marriage certificate? How could it still be fake?"Leanna raised her index finger and shook it, "If it weren't for my best friend, I wouldn't have married that dog of a man!""Dog man?"Leanna nodded, squinting her eyes with a look of gritted teeth, "Toby is a scoundrel! I wish him to be infertile and have no descendants!"Toby couldn't help but laugh and said, "So harsh?""Of course! You should
Zoey briefly introduced Gilberto's background, "If he really had a grudge against me or Russell, then why would he save us? Clearly, he had the opportunity to let us die. There was no need to save us only to kill us later, right? It would be pointless.""That's true," Leanna couldn't understand either, "Let's not think about it for now. When we have time, let's have a drink together! I've missed you.""Things haven't been going well lately. I used to spend every day in the lab, but I got distracted by drinking. Do you want a drink too? What's wrong, did you have another argument with Toby?""Who would get angry with that bastard!""Hahaha..." Zoey laughed, "Isn't this tone of cursing an expression of anger? What happened?"Leanna fell silent for a moment and said, "Toby, that dog of a man, has someone else outside! That woman even sent me photos of the two of them watching fireworks."Zoey raised an eyebrow, eliciting a playful smile, "Isn't
Fifteen minutes later, the hotel room door was knocked.Gilberto opened the door and a woman wearing a long fur coat stood at the entrance.She painted delicate makeup on her face, and her luscious red lips seemed to be inviting men.The woman arched her eyebrows lightly, slowly unbuttoned her coat, and the thin black lace suit made her already fair skin appear even more translucent, with her ample curves on the verge of bursting out, incredibly sexy.The bright red cord of the bathrobe extended down to the man's waist.Gilberto looked at the tempting woman and pulled her into his arms, pressing her against the wall.As soon as the hotel room door closed, the woman approached and offered her red lips.Gilberto suddenly turned his head, and the kiss landed on the man's jawbone."Get lost!"The woman was very infatuated with him, after all, such an exceptional man was very rare.Apart from Russell from Woodmerrow, t
Half an hour later, the private room door was pushed open.Madeleine was in front, followed by the Braylen family.Seeing Zoey stand up, Madeleine walked over quickly and gave her a big hug, her voice filled with joy, "Zoey!""Madeleine."Madeleine let go of her and raised her hand to pinch her cheeks, "You've lost weight."Zoey smiled, "You said the same thing as Mom.""It's just that you've lost weight!" Madeleine looked at Russell. "You haven't taken good care of my younger sister, have you?"Russell smiled faintly and said, "My mistake, I will correct it in the future.""Admitting the mistake was quite quick." Madeleine also knew that there was a reason behind it, so she didn't make things difficult for Russell anymore.Carolyn stood excitedly on the side, rubbing her hands together. "Can I also hug Zoey?"Madeleine quickly made way, "Of course, you can."Carolyn threw herself into Zoey's arms and said,
