There were many people standing inside the spacious store, and there were also many people gathering at the entrance.Rylee had a vague sense that something was not right, and he asked again, "Mrs. Maddox? Which family does she belong to?"Brent snorted, "Did you think you can afford to mess with Mr. Russell's wife?""M... Mr. Russell? Russell Maddox?" Rylee's face suddenly changed, and he turned around and gave Moriah's face a violent slap, causing her to fall to the ground.Rylee kicked Moriah in the chest and cursed, "You bitch, how dare you instigate me to offend Russell? You want to kill me!"Moriah was in unbearable pain from being kicked. "It hurts so much, honey, I didn't..."Rylee kicked her on the shoulder again, "Get lost! Who the fuck is your honey!"He turned to Zoey and forced a greasy smile, "Mrs. Maddox, I'm sorry, it was my fault. You shouldn't lower yourself to my level. I only got into trouble with you because of that bitch Moriah's instigation."Zoey caressed her s
After returning to Serene Manor, Zoey spent the afternoon drawing sketches in her bedroom. After checking them and making sure there were no issues, she sent them to Leanna's email.She stretched and looked at the time displayed on her phone, it was already 5 o'clock in the afternoon.Several news articles suddenly popped up on the screen.[FN Entertainment's C-list actress Moriah exposed as a homewrecker!][FN Entertainment: Minor actress Moriah beaten by the wife of her married lover!]***Zoey looked at Moriah's beaten face and sighed softly, "So much for her nose job... doesn’t even look like her anymore."A line popped in.Russell: Did you like the gift I gave you?Zoey replied immediately, "I really like it. When are you coming back?"Russell: "I will come back later from the gathering with friends tonight. I will take you with me next time. Go to bed early tonight, you don't have to wait for me."Zoey wanted to say that she would wait for him to come home at night, but then she
When the four cars reached the top of the mountain, they surrounded the black Maybach.The car window rolled down, and the dark barrel of a gun emerged, wildly spraying bullets towards the vehicle.The black Maybach, despite being reinforced with bulletproofing, couldn't help but be continuously sprayed with bullets and was ultimately riddled with holes.The rain on the mountaintop gradually increased.Four cars opened their doors, and one after another, more than ten people got out.They walked towards the Maybach with guns raised.The man wearing a duckbill cap opened the car door and his pupils shrank, "No one is in! Be careful, there might be an ambush!"As soon as the words fell, car lights lit up from all directions, dazzling them and making it impossible for them to open their eyes.The lights illuminated the pitch-black rainy night, as the rain poured down from the sky like a continuous line.Looking around, dozens of mercenaries surrounded them, holding heavy weapons in their
As soon as the words fell, Russell's thin lips pressed against Zoey's.After experiencing several kisses, the man's kissing technique became increasingly skillful.The girl's lips were unbelievably soft, carrying an unknown sweetness, with the fragrance of roses, the freshness of jasmine, and the scent of pear blossoms.His tongue swept into the space between her lips and teeth, while his large palm held the back of her head as they kissed deeply and lightly.Zoey weakly wrapped her hands around the man's neck, allowing him to forcefully take whatever he wanted.Russell's hot palm slid up her slender white leg, and his breathing became rapid.Just a second later, he withdrew his lips from the girl's, his voice hoarse, "Get off me."Zoey understood what he meant, and she quickly got up, but her gaze involuntarily glanced towards the man's legs.Russell tugged at the blanket on his lap and turned his wheelchair to face her. "Go to bed early," he said."Oh, okay," Zoey pushed him upstair
Zoey joined Born Beauty just a month ago, holding the position of a junior C-level designer.Everyone thought she could get into Born Beauty at first, all because of Ariana's connection, because Zoey graduated from Corbourne Harrington University Mechanical Manufacturing Technology, which had nothing to do with fashion design.Ariana looked regretful and asked, "Zoey, are you really leaving Born Beauty?"Zoey raised an eyebrow slightly and said, "What, you think I should continue to let others use my sketches as their's?"Ariana pursed her lips, and she naturally understood Zoey's words.It seems that this scoundrel is not going to create artwork for her anymore.Some people couldn't help but laugh after hearing it.Design Director Jayleen Neal chuckled, "Ms. Harmon has only been at Born Beauty for a month and it seems she hasn't produced a decent sketch yet, right? The words she just said seem a bit arrogant!"Zoey looked at Ariana and said, "Ariana, did I sound arrogant when I said
As Zoey's words fell, Ariana's face suddenly changed.Nelson sneered, "Stop playing games there, it's just a bunch of rubbish sketches. Even if you draw a hundred thousand pieces, it won't be as good as one of Ariana's!"Zoey nodded, "I hope you will think the same in the future too!"Nelson responded confidently, "Naturally."Zoey thought of something and said, "Oh, by the way, I hope you quickly handle the photos and videos that caused a big stir in the city, as well as the scandal of Ariana using a voice substitute. Otherwise, in the future, if Born Beauty clothing cannot compete with Z&L Design, they will blame it on these two reasons."Nelson's face looked as foul as a pile of shit. "You don't need to worry about Born Beauty, but it's audacious for Galaxy Studio to hire you as an S-level designer. I believe the future prospects of Z&L Design will be grim. If that top designer, Star, finds out that you are being treated the same or even better than her, it will be considered a dis
Russell was not here for these three days, and the two of them would keep in touch, but Zoey still felt like something was missing.During the day, there was no time to be distracted while drawing sketches at Galaxy Studio, but as soon as night fell, this feeling became exceptionally apparent.She knew that she missed Russell.In the middle of the night, Zoey couldn't sleep, so she went to Russell's bedroom.She lay on the man's pillow, sniffing his cool woody scent, feeling particularly at ease.Not long after, she fell asleep.When the sky had just turned pale, the bedroom door was gently pushed open.The man maneuvered the wheelchair to the bedside.Through the narrow gap in the curtains, a faint light seeped in, and he saw a lump on the bed.He knew that was Zoey.Just now, when he passed by Zoey's bedroom, he really wanted to go in and see her. In the end, he resisted the longing and went back to his own bedroom. Little did he know that there was such a surprise waiting for him.
Zoey thought and quickly adjusted her thoughts.She is now Dr. Z and she cannot be recognized by him.She raised her hand and adjusted her hat. The hat looked ordinary, but the veil on top of it was made of a special fabric that allowed her to see clearly from the inside, while nothing can be seen from the outside.Watching Russell slowly approach, she adjusted her tone and took the initiative to speak: "Mr. Maddox, hello, I am Dr. Z."Russell nodded slightly and said, "Hello, Dr. Z. You were really difficult to invite."Zoey: "...I'm sorry, I was in seclusion studying medications and couldn't see any patients."Russell smiled faintly and said, "As long as you can cure my mother, I can add another two billion to the diagnosis fee of five billion."Two hundred million?Why not earn money from my own husband if I can? It's free money!Zoey smiled and said, "Okay."When the three of them entered the old house together, the servant hurriedly ran over."Mr. Russell, something is wrong! The
The next afternoon.Joselyn didn't wait for Brodie on time because he had to perform a last-minute surgery.The injured person was involved in a serious car accident, rear-ending a delivery truck carrying steel bars. The steel bars directly pierced through the windshield and into his chest cavity.The firefighters arrived and used hydraulic pliers to cut the steel bars, then they lifted the person out.At that time, the injured person had lost too much blood and was unconscious. By the time they were taken to the hospital, they had already gone into shock.After the examination, the doctor discovered that the patient's lungs had been punctured and the heart was partially damaged. It was determined that a surgery involving both a cardiac surgeon and a thoracic surgeon was necessary.Because the surgery was very difficult, an extremely experienced doctor was needed to perform it.Brodie had been ready to leave, but he received a call fr
Brodie escorted Joselyn up the stairs and watched her enter the room. He reminded her, "Before going to bed, make sure to drink some hot water and keep warm, otherwise you might easily catch a cold."Joselyn nodded, her eyes clear and bright. "Okay, Brodie, you should rest early too."Brodie smiled faintly and said, "Close the door."Joselyn lightly hummed and closed the door.Hearing the footsteps outside gradually fading away, Joselyn knew that the man had left.She changed her shoes and entered the kitchen. She poured a cup of warm water from the water heater, and the warm water flowed into her throat, instantly warming her slightly chilly body.However, she suddenly realized that she had been listening to Brodie, probably because he was a doctor.Oops, I forgot to ask him which floor he lives on in the opposite building.What did you ask so many layers for?Do you want to peep on others?Joselyn shrugged, wond
Brodie lowered his gaze and pursed his lips, "There was no suitable one."He did not want to portray himself as a lovesick fool, seeking others' sympathy.Joselyn raised her hand and patted his shoulder, "You are so excellent, you will definitely find a girl who suits you."Brodie smiled and said, "Maybe."He looked towards the artificial lake and said, "It has frozen over there, let's go take a look."Joselyn looked in the past, and the ice under the street lamp was smooth, shining like a mirror."Could you ice skate?""It should be possible, after all, it is already below zero now."The Rosario family also had an artificial lake, but at this moment, Joselyn felt that the Keller family's was more fun than the Rosario family's.She was particularly cheerful, opening her arms and running towards the ice.With a splash, she stepped directly onto a thin layer of ice and fell into the cold water.The lake water
Joselyn accompanied Tabitha to the restaurant. Although she was lively, she was still a bit reserved when faced with a large family.However, the Keller family was extremely welcoming and took good care of her.Tabitha kept serving her food, "Look how thin you are, eat more."Joselyn smiled happily and said, "Thank you, Grandma.""I really like this child. He is beautiful and has a good personality. Look at how well our Royce and Brodie are doing," Tabitha said as she began to promote her well-behaved grandchildren.Now there are only Royce and Brodie left, and if she works hard enough, she will be able to be the only one left.Upon hearing this, Royce felt a headache. "Grandma, I was nine years older than Joselyn. Please, be kind and don't drag her into trouble."Tabitha frowned, "It seems a bit too big."Her gaze fell on Brodie again, "You are seven years older, but this age difference is acceptable."Brodie let out a
Brodie furrowed his brow and asked, "What does Ms. Hester want?""I just wanted to invite you to have a meal." Deborah smiled, "I have asked you out several times already, can Professor Keller give me a chance?"Brodie naturally knew in his heart that Deborah didn't just want to have a meal with him, and then ask for his phone number, leading to entanglement.He had no slightest bit of interest in her, and Joselyn didn't seem to belong to the category of relatives, so he directly refused in order to avoid any further trouble."Sorry, Ms. Hester, I indeed didn't have a surgery tonight, so I had some free time, but my family was waiting for me to have dinner together."Deborah blinked her eyes innocently and naively, "Can't we have dinner with our family another day?"Brodie chuckled lightly, "Is it you who is important or my family? I haven't been home for a few days, finally had some time to have a meal with my family, and now you want me to
Brodie didn't expect to escape Davis and Tabitha's pressure to get married at home, and he still couldn't escape it at the hospital.He smiled faintly and said, "Not yet."Joselyn's grandmother's eyes lit up, and she stood up and looked Brodie up and down. "This young man is tall and handsome, and he is a perfect match for our Joselyn."Joselyn's mouth twitched. "Grandma, why did you randomly choose the 'Mandarin Duck' song? Do you know who he is?"Joselyn's grandmother smiled and said, "He is my future grandson-in-law."Joselyn. “..."Brodie pushed his wireframe glasses and nodded slightly, "Hello, Grandma, my name is Brodie."Joselyn's grandmother laughed, "See, this is Joselyn we're talking about. She even started introducing herself willingly."The crowd. “..."Joselyn almost blushed in the past, she tugged at her grandmother's arm and said, "Grandma, this is Kristian's second cousin.""What?"
Brodie and Joselyn had finished their meal, and it was almost eight o'clock. The table was a mess.Joselyn patted her stomach and said, "After this meal, I definitely gained two pounds."Brodie chuckled, "You were too thin, it would be better to gain some weight. With all the recent experiences, I'm sure you had a lot of mental pressure, so it's good to have a broad mind and a plump body."Joselyn nodded, "That's true. But thanks to you, otherwise my mom would have been in danger. I must treat you to this meal.""Fine," Brodie shrugged, "then I won't compete with you for the order."After the two of them went downstairs and settled the bill, the waiter informed them that the boss was treating them.Joselyn sighed and said, "I wanted to invite you, but since I couldn't, next time when you have time, I will invite you again."Brodie nodded slightly, "Okay."Joselyn was twenty-three years old, seven years younger than Brodie.
Brodie and Joselyn left the Inpatient Department.Brodie asked, "Did you drive?"Joselyn shook her head, "I was a typical pedestrian, not suitable for driving, so I took a taxi here."Brodie smiled faintly and said, "Then, ride in my car.""Okay."The two of them arrived at the parking lot. Brodie, being a gentleman, opened the passenger door for her. Joselyn politely thanked him and got in.After Brodie got on the car, he saw that Joselyn had already fastened her seatbelt.He smiled and said, "Although it was a hit-and-run, the awareness of safety was quite strong."Joselyn shrugged self-deprecatingly, "Since the incident with Porter, I felt that life was too fragile, and at any moment, my own life could be in danger. Of course, I am afraid of death myself, but what I fear even more is that if my parents were to lose me again, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to handle it."Brodie could fully understand the phrase "life
The next day, Brodie went to the hospital as usual. He arrived at the ICU to check on Kinley's condition. There were no signs of rejection and there were indications of recovery.He remembered Porter, a man who appeared gentle on the surface but was actually ruthless and cunning.The tragedies of the Rosario family were all caused by this person and, in the end, it was also him who put an end to them. He probably thought that Porter was here to collect a debt and repay it.Leaving the ICU ward, he went to Mr. Hester's room.Brodie was taken aback, as the person in front of him looked completely different from yesterday, no longer dressed as a zombie nurse but rather as a standard socialite.He nodded slightly, "Hello, I came to check on Mr. Hester's condition."Mr. Hester wanted to speak, but he was stopped by Brodie. "Don't speak, I will examine you."Mr. Hester nodded and then saw Deborah approaching.Brodie noticed someone a
