It was past ten o'clock in the evening when Zoey and Russell were unexpectedly greeted by an unexpected guest.
Leanna stood at the entrance, wearing a set of Pikachu pajamas, her hands fiddling with the drawstring.
She blinked at Zoey and then asked Russell, "Um, can you lend me Zoey tonight?"
Russell's face immediately darkened like ink upon hearing the words. He looked at Toby, who had just walked in through the door, and asked, "How did you guys come here?"
Toby raised his hand and pressed his forehead, "Leanna and I got married, so we moved out to live together. She suggested moving here, but I never thought you guys also lived here, let alone on the same floor."
Leanna took a step forward and held Zoey's arm, "I don't care, tonight I want to sleep with Zoey."
Zoey patted her hand and said, "Okay, I will go downstairs with you."
And so, Toby stayed at Zoey's house, staring at Russell with big eyes.
The two of them sat on th
Lola crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow at Hailey.What were you doing?Hailey's lips curved slightly, "I didn't do much, I just looked at the actors' costumes.""Really? Zoey is in charge of Madeleine's clothing, so your reason for coming here to look at the clothes is not sufficient."Hailey looked into Lola's shrewd eyes and felt guilty. She pursed her lips and said, "I want to find Ms. Harmon and hope she can forgive me."Lola raised her chin and said, "Didn't we hit a wall last time? Did you come up with a good solution this time?"Hailey replied, "No, but I want to have another chance to try.""Did you ask for forgiveness after secretly taking pictures of someone's artwork?""No!" Hailey's decibel level instantly rose, "I didn't take any photos!"Lola looked at her trembling hand tightly clutching the phone and said, "Alright, then bring up the photo for me to inspect.""You had no right to order me, to
Russell's thin lips tightened, unable to hide his low voice of disappointment, "I knew."Zoey stifled a laugh and asked, "What did you find out?""I knew you had to work overtime because there was only about a week left until the competition."Zoey approached him, blinking her eyes, "Are you angry?""No.""Really?"The man nodded lightly and said, "Really, I supported your work."Zoey sighed, "Alright, originally I wanted to go to the set during the day and come back early in the evening to be with you. Since you are so supportive of my work, I will switch with Leanna. She can go to the set, and I will work overtime in the design room."Russell realized upon hearing the words that Zoey was teasing him.He put down the knife and fork in his hand, and lifted the person onto his lap. "Little one, did you deceive me?"Zoey's beautiful eyes sparkled, as she held the man's cheeks in her hands and sighed, "Your face just
With a loud bang, Madeleine let out a painful cry, her furrowed brow indicating her agony, and her entire body fell backwards.Shortly after, there was an explosion at the entrance of the mansion, and a massive fire broke out, exceptionally fierce.Giancarlo hesitated for a moment and muttered, "But why is the fire so big?"Zoey's pupils shook, "No, that was a real gun!"She grabbed a blanket and ran towards the mansion.Giancarlo stood there, looking confused. He picked up the walkie-talkie and anxiously asked, "Can the staff inside please respond? What's the situation in there now? Why is the fire so big?"He did not wait for someone to answer, and many people with fire on their bodies rushed out of the mansion.They wailed in agony, rolling on the ground repeatedly.People outside the mansion, upon seeing this scene, were initially startled and then began to rescue the individuals.At that moment, the director realize
People were coming and going in the hospital corridor when a doctor hurriedly walked out and said these words.Brodie stepped forward and said, "I am Brodie, a cardiologist. Madeleine is my sister, and I could perform the surgery on her."The doctor had naturally heard of Brodie, the world-renowned expert. Whenever he intervened, the success rate of surgeries increased from fifty percent to ninety percent.The doctor nodded, "Then please let Prof. Keller personally perform the operation."Brodie nodded, "Prepare the operating room, there is no time to waste."Doctor, "Okay."Because Zoey was not seriously injured, she was transferred to a regular ward.Russell guarded her and let Troy follow Royce and Lola to wait in front of the operating room, and if there was any news, they would inform him immediately.Russell looked at the girl lying on the hospital bed with her eyes tightly closed. Although the doctor said there was no ma
Russell maneuvered his wheelchair to the small window by the door of the ward and saw Leanna sitting in front of the bed, muttering to herself.Leanna had already heard about the incident on set an hour later because she had been secluded, working on making the competition clothes.It was only when Toby personally came to Galaxy Studio to find her that she found out.All the way, she was regretting that if she hadn't given Zoey a day off, or if she had come to the set today, Zoey wouldn't have gotten into this trouble.Leanna wiped away her tears and held the fair hand of the girl. "Zoey, when will you wake up? You said, why are you so foolish, rushing in to save people even when it's so dangerous. But if you didn't help, it wouldn't be your character. I guess if it were me, I definitely wouldn't have the ability, let alone the courage to save someone. I believe Madeleine will be fine, you have to wake up quickly, okay?"The person on the sickbed s
After hanging up the phone, Russell asked Troy to check Nathalie's recent communications and then returned to the hospital bed.He held Zoey tightly in his arms, as if he was holding a rare treasure.At this moment, he had no sleepiness, and his eyes gazed into the pitch-black night.Whoever hurt Zoey, he would never let him go.Meanwhile, a black Rolls-Royce was driving on the way to the apartment.Leanna glanced at the man gripping the steering wheel and coughed lightly, "I wanted to go back to the design room, the direction of this road is wrong."Toby remained unfazed, "It was already past twelve, are you planning to stay up all night?""The designers in the design studio were busy until around 2 am before they went to rest, it feels a bit unfair for me to sleep so early."Toby looked ahead and said softly, "So, is it unnecessary to pay them such high salaries when you become the boss and work so hard?"Leanna pursed
Toby slept lightly and instantly opened his eyes upon hearing the sound of the door being pushed open.When Leanna rushed to the bedside, before she could say anything, she was grabbed by the man and pulled into his arms.The man flipped over and pinned down Leanna."Considering all night long, in the end, couldn't help but burst out?"Leanna's mouth twitched, "I didn't come to pounce on you..."The remaining words were all blocked by the man, and Leanna made a whimpering sound from her mouth, continuously patting the man's shoulders with her hands.However, she was soon melted by the man's burning temperature. She weakly clung to the man's neck with her hands, and a soft moan escaped from her throat."Is it possible?"Toby gently inquired, and these three words also brought Leanna to some extent of clarity.She trembled her eyelashes and looked at the exceptionally handsome face of the man above her. Suddenly, she pushe
The crowd heard the words and were all a little puzzled.The forensic asked, "Isn't it normal for a suicide victim to willingly choose death?""Not normal. Even in the case of suicide, the deceased would have a struggle process, it's impossible to leave no trace at all. Hailey didn't have any. I suspect she was hypnotized by someone, then wrote a suicide note before dying."The crowd couldn't help but be startled, as if they were all contemplating this possibility.Zoey said, "Hailey and I did have conflicts, but it never escalated to the point of wanting to kill each other. Besides, she had no reason to write about plotting against herself. It is obvious that someone intentionally did it, in order to set up a scapegoat for this shooting incident and prevent the police from further investigation."Russell naturally had full confidence in Zoey, "There was a high possibility of this."The director nodded, "It was indeed suspicious, so let's co
The company boss, Owen Shaffer, came to Mya's desk, his face filled with excitement. "Mya, Mr. Keller from the Keller Group specifically requested you to plan his wedding. Quickly freshen up your appearance and come with me to the conference room to meet him in the best possible condition."Mya had thought that Royce would find her, but she hadn't expected to see him again so soon.She nodded slightly, picked up her handbag, pen, and notebook, and stood up, "Okay, I'll go now."After saying that, she left her workstation and headed towards the restroom.Owen walked towards the conference room.The employees at the other workstations began to express their dissatisfaction, their words filled with sarcasm and hostility."She looked like a fox spirit, and within just ten days, she managed to seduce Mr. Keller. She's really something!""Estimate the skills in bed must be impressive, otherwise how could Mr. Keller grace our company?"
Royce had never had this kind of experience with a woman in the past six years.On regular days, with a busy work schedule and the added task of searching for Mya, the desire was extremely faint.Even if there was a need, it was just a result of drinking too much and missing Mya, so I would take a cold shower to solve it myself.As for last night, having a relationship was unprecedented.At that moment, the sound of water came from the bathroom, followed by the sound of the door opening.He looked over suddenly, and his heart started pounding uncontrollably.A slender white leg of a woman stepped out, and then the whole person came into his sight.Royce's pupils contracted, and his heart stopped abruptly.When he saw that leg, even though it was only for a second, some thoughts had already formed in his mind.If Mya had just given in and apologized, he would have made up with her and forgiven her for what happened back t
Royce was wearing a white shirt with three buttons on the collar undone, revealing a section of his fair collarbone.He held a tall glass in one hand and rested the other on the armrest of the sofa, looking elegant and sophisticated.He glanced lightly at the woman approaching him, picked up a tall glass and took a sip of red wine, his voice cold and merciless, "Stay away from me."The woman thought that the man was indulging in desire, but she still approached him.Royce's cold eyes swept past, his voice low and deep, "Get lost!"The lights in the private room were dim, but the woman still managed to see the man's cold expression. She immediately got up and left.After all, she didn't want to be thrown out just because a man was unhappy.No woman approached Royce anymore, and he drank alone, drowning his sorrows.My friend Gavin Collier came over and filled his cup. "Did you find Mya?"Royce pressed his tongue against h
Joselyn's eyes were moist, and her voice trembled slightly as she spoke."What was going to happen in a while?"Although she had drunk too much, her mind became somewhat clear after the teasing just now.Although she had a lot of intimate contact with Brodie, this kind of intimacy had never happened before.The feeling was like stepping on a cloud, as if a firework exploded in my mind.Brodie looked at her bewildered expression, with her Adam's apple moving up and down."Joselyn..."Although Joselyn had never experienced it, she understood everything.She bit her lower lip and lowered her gaze shyly.Brodie held her chin and looked at her, "Did you accept?"Joselyn's eyelashes trembled, "Accepted," she said.Brodie's eyes darkened completely, and he kissed the girl's lips, causing the enclosed space in the carriage to emit the sound of water droplets.The car stopped in the underground garage of Kerr
Today was Brodie and Joselyn's engagement banquet, where members of the Keller family and the Rosario family gathered together.Brodie tightly held Joselyn's hand and said, "Actually, I had given everyone a chance, but none of you appreciated it, so only Joselyn and I have the engagement banquet of both families."Upon hearing this, the two of them couldn't help but freeze.From Zoey and Russell, Carsen and Carolyn, Madeleine and Kristian, to Brodie and Joselyn, none of these four couples had ever experienced an engagement party and were all ready to get married directly, even though none of these couples had a wedding.Brodie looked extremely pleased, as if he had seized the opportunity.Joselyn pinched the man's hand and said, "You were a little cocky."Brodie chuckled lightly, his voice sounding particularly pleasant. "So what? Who made them so disappointing."The crowd: "..."Russell scoffed, "It was just an engagement part
Kinley looked pale and weak, her voice barely audible. "Porter."Kinley had a heart attack because of this incident, and Joselyn knew she would ask about it when she woke up.She took a deep breath and said, "Porter felt guilty for plotting against his brother back then. You treated him like your own and even forgave him for his crime. He felt guilty towards you, so after he was released from prison, he came to the hospital to be a match for you. Unexpectedly, the match was successful, and he signed the donation agreement. When Porter heard about your accident, he crashed his car and died, all in order to donate his heart to you."Kinley's complexion was even worse than before, and she remained silent for a long time. "So, he committed suicide in order to give me a new heart."Joselyn revealed the truth because once one lie is told, the second one will be told, and sooner or later, the truth will be exposed."Mom, actually Porter was both the cause
"What?"Deborah widened her eyes in horror, wearing an expression of disbelief. "Did these idiots not consider the consequences of exposing themselves as victims without testifying in court? Are they brainless like pigs?"Joselyn found her words incredible, what kind of values were these?Should the victims feel ashamed?That's why the perpetrator was so rampant!In the current society, women were still at a disadvantage in this aspect.Many women, after being violated, were afraid of being criticized and chose to keep quiet and make peace.It was also because of this that Deborah dared to repeatedly instruct people to commit crimes.Joselyn didn't know how Brodie persuaded these victims, but in the end, all of them were willing to come forward and accuse Noah, who in turn accused Deborah.Deborah was already guilty, and now with an additional charge, she can't get out without a sentence of more than fifteen years.
Brodie gently pulled Joselyn's arm, which was resting on the pillow, out and got out of bed. He put on his clothes, grabbed the car keys, and left.He drove to the basement of the Century Club, where Roland was holding a man's ear and slapping him with a slipper.The man's mouth emitted a whimpering cry, but Roland's actions did not cease."Do you know who you offended?"The man shook his head, "I don't know."Roland sighed, "So, are you daring to do something foolish?""Please spare me!"The man let out a wail.Roland saw Brodie approaching and handed him the slippers, "Want to take a break for a while?"Brodie glanced with disdain, "No need. Did he hire?""No, he was very stubborn." Roland clicked his tongue.Brodie nodded lightly, "I'll do it."Roland felt that he was just talking nonsense, what kind of cunning methods could this gentle nobleman use to deal with such a person?Just as he ha
Joselyn hummed, "No way."Brodie leaned down and kissed the girl's lips, "Have you missed me these past few days?""No,"Brodie didn't want to hear any negative words, so he directly sealed Joselyn's beautiful lips and planted a deep kiss, making it difficult for her to breathe.She helplessly placed her hands on the man's chest, and as she was slipping down, Brodie grabbed her hand and clung it to his own neck.Long time passed, lips parted."Ask again, did you miss me?"Joselyn's eyelashes were moist, "I thought about it.""Why didn't you reply to my message? Do you know how I've been these days?"Brodie held her hand against his cheek, "I think you've lost weight, can you feel it?"Joselyn saw that he had indeed lost a lot of weight, although he had shaved and looked clean-shaven, he also appeared very tired.She was a complete mess inside, "Maybe you have other thoughts.""What else can I think a
