Zoey quickly got up and apologized to Russell, "I'm sorry, did I hurt you?"Russell hadn't had much time to think when his thoughts were interrupted. He looked at the people in front of him and calmed his mind."It's nothing."Confirming that he didn't recognize her, Zoey felt relieved and looked at Nelson with a dissatisfied tone, "How could this gentleman be so careless?"Nelson pointed at his throat, indicating to unblock his acupoints.Zoey really wanted him to be mute for the rest of his life, so that his words wouldn't disgust people.She took the needle and pricked him a few more times. "Okay, you can make a sound now."Nelson tried to "ahh" a few times, "Why did it require so many needles to release the pressure points?"Zoey chuckled inwardly, of course it was because she didn't like you!She explained, "The human acupoints are very complex, there is no need for so many whys, even if I explain, you won't understand. However, this gentleman looks pale and tired, I'm afraid the
Zoey left the Maddox family and went straight to Galaxy Studio. Knowing that she wouldn't be able to see Russell if she returned to Serene Manor, she decided to stay in the design room and work on her sketches.Leanna knew that she came to work overtime and was extremely touched. She said that she valued friendship more than romance and immediately decided to treat everyone to a lavish lunch and dinner.Zoey felt guilty. She was not someone who prioritized friendship over romance; she clearly wanted to prioritize romance over friendship. However, her husband did not give her the opportunity.Dragging her tired body back to Serene Manor, when Emilee saw her and quickly asked if she wanted to have a late-night snack.Zoey looked at her round belly and waved her hand."Did Russell come back?"Emilee nodded, "Mr. Russell came back in the afternoon and has been at home. The second young lady from the family was brought back here."Zoey: "..."The Braylen couple were vsmart on the arrangem
Russell looked at the girl's fair and smooth little face, his gaze gentle. "What good habits?"Zoey pressed her lips against the man's thin lips and whispered, "Goodnight kiss."Russell felt like he was being tortured to death by Zoey, he could touch her but couldn't have her.After tossing and turning for a while, the girl beside him finally fell asleep contentedly.Russell raised his hand and covered his eyes, the muscles in his arm flowing smoothly. He thought Zoey was deliberately tormenting him.After a while, he turned to look at the sleeping girl.Long eyelashes fell lightly on the porcelain smooth face, pure and beautiful.Zoey's sleeping posture was a bit hard to describe.At that moment, she was lying on the bed, and her nightgown had already ridden up to her waist.The long and slender legs and the full and perky buttocks were clearly visible.Russell's Adam's apple rolled, his heart had been stirred up, unable to calm down at all.He covered Zoey with a blanket, turned aro
In the spacious dining room.Joanna kowtowed heavily and said, "Mr. Russell, please spare my life, considering that I've been working here for so long. I had no choice, my son was still in their hands!"His voice was indifferent, "If you make a mistake, you have to accept punishment, right? Brent."Brent walked in and said, "Yes, Mr. Russell.""Take her to the secret room and handle her according to the family rules."Joanna suddenly looked up and said, "Mr. Russell, I beg you, spare me!"Russell's thin lips curled up, "It seems like you finally remembered what kind of person I am."Knowing roughly what mistakes Joanna had made, Brent had already arranged two bodyguards to stand at the door.As long as Russell gave the order, the bodyguards would take the person away.When Joanna was dragged out of the dining room, she was still begging for mercy incessantly."Mr. Russell, I didn't want to go to Snake Forest..."Emilee came in and quickly tidied up the mess on the floor, and poured ou
He bent down to kiss the corner of her lips when, at that moment, the office door was pushed open."Mr. Russell..." Troy walked in and witnessed this scene.The man gazed affectionately at the girl on the sofa, slowly approaching, wanting to give her a kiss.The usually abstinent Russell surprisingly stole a kiss from the girl while she was asleep.Russell glanced coldly at Troy, who performed an instant disappearing act.He turned back and looked at Zoey's sleeping face again. The girl had fair and tender skin, with slightly parted lips that revealed her pink little tongue. The sweet scent of cake mixed with her natural fragrance, and without any defense, it entered the man's nostrils.Russell couldn't help but approach again. Suddenly, he stopped and glanced at the door, afraid that someone would come in and ruin everything.When he made sure that no one else would come in, he turned his head and leaned closer.The next second, the two of them locked eyes.Russell didn't expect Zoey
In the spacious restaurant, Abigail's voice of astonishment could be heard.Many people's eyes fell on her. After all, she was a public figure, so she quickly covered her face.Russell gave her a meaningful look and said, "Why are you so nervous?"Abigail collected her thoughts and said, "I'm just curious, how did Carolyn end up staying at your place?"Russell said, "Braylen's house was being monitored, and he suspected it was done by a rival company. Because he was worried about Carolyn's safety, he sent her to Serene Manor."Zoey looked at the man, and he kept Carolyn being drugged a secret.Abigail seemed to breathe a sigh of relief as she smiled and said, "So Carolyn has moved into Serene Manor, Russell. Can I go too?"Russell lifted his gaze and said, "No, it is not allowed."He refused thoroughly, which made Abigail awkwardly tug at the corners of her mouth and say, "Why can't I?""Because Carolyn couldn't move, it didn't affect my and Zoey's normal life. Your behavior, on the o
Facing various doubts, Ariana still maintained a smile on her face.She looked at Nelson affectionately and said, "Regarding the matter of photos and videos, we have already clarified that they are all false. As for the truth of the matter, I cannot say much here because there are people I want to protect, and Nelson also has people he wants to protect."Ariana's words left a lot of room for imagination.At this moment, a male voice sounded."Is it all made up? I can't believe you can say such things. After verification, the photos and videos are indeed real! You stole someone else's fiancé and shamelessly implied that the person you claimed to protect turned their back on him! You want to act promiscuously while still wanting to maintain a virtuous image."Roland wore sunglasses, his silver hair flowing freely, and he spoke without mercy, successfully causing Ariana's face to darken.The journalists and media started asking questions about this matter again.Nelson quickly intervened
Everyone held their breath, afraid that they might miss any crucial evidence.Their phones and cameras were all aimed at the computer screen.The perspective in the screen was recorded by the computer camera.Zoey was playing the guitar and singing this song, and she also recorded a segment.At that moment, Ariana walked in and said, "Zoey, you sang that song so beautifully, what's it called?"Zoey said, "Break up."Ariana sat next to her and said, "How do you sing, Zoey? Can you teach me?"Zoey smiled and said, "Okay!"She sang a line, and Ariana followed with another line.Although Ariana was not off-key, her voice lacked any distinctive features, and at this level, it was simply impossible for entertainment companies to take notice of her.The video ends, Zoey looks at Ariana and says, "So, Born Beauty was attracted to you in the video? Honestly, do I need to poison you for having such a voice?"Ariana's face turned pale, and she trembled with her eyelashes. "You just wanted to lif
The warm yellow light illuminated the room.The two people on the bed held each other tightly.Zoey lay on Russell's chest and said, "Russell, both the Venomous Worm and your illness would be cured."Russell gently caressed her thin back, "I knew."Zoey suddenly looked up at him and asked, "Are you thinking about separating from me again?"Watching the girl's eyes turn red, Russell felt a pang of heartache. "No, after going through life and death, all I want is to be with you every moment. Zoey, I'm sorry, can you forgive my previous thoughts?""No good," Zoey pouted. "Ever since you had this idea, I have felt very insecure, always thinking that you would leave me at any moment.""Sorry..."Zoey covered the man's mouth and said, "I don't want to hear you say sorry."Russell kissed her palm and moved away, "My bad, can we not talk about it anymore in the future?""What if you said it again?""Then may I be s
Upon hearing such a title, Enzo was so infuriated that he almost fell backwards, but his happiness outweighed his anger.He hugged Roderick tightly, "You devil, I missed you so much!"Roderick stiffened and quickly pushed the person away, "Don't ruin my reputation!"Enzo rolled his eyes and said, "Both of us are halfway in the grave, why do we care about this?" As he spoke, he prepared to pounce.Roderick pushed the person away again, "Disrespectful to the elderly!"Enzo was speechless.Zoey had gotten used to their love-hate relationship, and if it wasn't like that, it meant that they had fallen out.But being able to see such a scene again, she was happy.Roderick glanced at Zoey and Russell, "You two, come in."Gilberto, who was not called out, naturally went back to his own room.He made a phone call, his eyes filled with gloom, "Why are they still alive?""Sorry boss, that old man changed the password
Thanks to King Worm, there was a person beneath each of its footholds.After Zoey, Russell, and Gilberto dug the snow with their hands and rescued the person, Zoey quickly provided medical treatment.When the third person was rescued, the rescuers arrived.Because the rescue tools were in place, the remaining few people were all found.Unfortunately, two people had already lost signs of life.Zoey felt a bit heartbroken as these people came to rescue others, but ended up losing their lives in an avalanche.Russell put his arm around her shoulder and said, "The world is unpredictable."Zoey felt sad and guilty in her heart, "Let's give their families some more compensation."Russell nodded, "Okay."Zoey suddenly remembered the laboratory and she held the man's hand. "Gilberto and I fell into a cave after encountering an avalanche. Later, due to my digging through the snow, the gravity became uneven, and we fell into a lab
This feline species walked almost silently, and combined with Zoey's intense focus on examining those experimental pods, she didn't even notice the arrival of danger.When she turned around, the snow leopard was too close to her, and she didn't have time to react at all.Her pitch-black pupils reflected a scene of a snow leopard baring its sharp teeth and pouncing towards her.She hesitated for a moment, and instinctively raised the tightly gripped surgical knife.But this is almost like a flea trying to shake a tree.Just then, Gilberto pushed her aside, and the snow leopard pounced on him, knocking him down to the ground.Zoey was pushed aside and saw the snow leopard pounce on the man, splattering Gilberto's face with bright red blood.Zoey thought Gilberto's neck had been bitten off, so she rushed up to stab the snow leopard.Just then, Gilberto raised his hand and said, "I'm fine!"The snow leopard lay on him and be
Time passed bit by bit, and the air in the cave began to thin.Zoey clearly felt a wave of suffocation."Gilberto."Gilberto looked at her and said, "Were you feeling unwell?"Zoey said, "I felt like we couldn't wait for the rescue team anymore."Gilberto unconsciously furrowed his brow, "Do you want to shovel snow?"Zoey nodded and said, "Yes, even if we stay indoors, we will still die. We might as well give it a try."Gilberto asked, "Otherwise, should we wait a little longer?""Sorry, I can't wait any longer. I don't want to die here without even trying. I'm going to find Russell," Zoey said, and then she started digging the snow.Gilberto tightened his lips and watched her dig with all her might.Under the heavy snow, one had to dig at least one meter deep to go out.After a while, Gilberto crawled over to dig with Zoey. However, while digging, he paid close attention to the movements below.The
Looking around, there was only endless white snow, with no other objects.Zoey heard not only the sound of the wind but also the sound of her own heartbeat.Perhaps it was a psychological effect, but she felt as if something was staring at them with a predatory gaze.Russell said, "Since that's the case, let's not separate. Gilberto's friend's rescue team consists of ten people, plus the two who went missing earlier, making it a total of twelve people. It's impossible that we won't find anyone, as they must have encountered some danger. Let's stay alert and make sure no one gets left behind."Gilberto nodded, "This area belonged to a collapsing zone, and I suspect they might have fallen into a cave. Anyway, it is most important to protect ourselves first."Zoey fell silent. It had been over 36 hours since the two senior brothers had gone missing, and this was not good.Russell saw through her thoughts, "They would definitely be fine."
The man was wearing a white down jacket, army green work pants, and cotton work boots. His facial features stood out particularly on this snowy night.He curved his lips and walked forward, "Are you friends of Mr. Conway?"Zoey was taken aback. Is this the little brother who saved her master?She nodded slightly and said, "Hello, we are his friends. And you are?"The man's deep brown eyes twinkled with amusement. "My name is Gilberto Baldwin. I encountered Mr. Conway on the snowy mountain, and he had a high fever, so he asked me to come and fetch you all.""Thank you," Zoey asked, "Was he seriously injured?"Gilberto laughed and said, "It was a bit serious but not too serious. He had a high fever of 39℃, but he ate two bowls of rice at night and had a good appetite."Zoey pursed her lips. Her master indeed had such a personality. "So, could you please take us to find him?"Gilberto nodded at Russell and Zoey, "Alright, I took y
Zoey quickly swiped the answer button on the screen, "Master!"The sound of wind howled on the other end of the phone, and a man's breathless voice came through, "Zoey, my master just got a signal here and just saw the message.""Master, did you encounter any danger?""There was a snow leopard on this mountain! Yesterday, I got separated from your senior brothers. My old bones almost perished on this mountain, but luckily I encountered a little brother who was exploring here.""Did you get injured?""No, but it was quite thrilling. Just when the snow leopard pounced on my neck, I thought I was going to meet the King of Hell. But this little brother of mine hit it on the head with a stick, knocking it out. He led me out of the snowy mountains, and that's when we got a signal. We are currently heading down the mountain, trying to see if we can contact your senior brothers. Are you asking me about the Bound Worm?""Yeah, Russell encountered a v
Zoey let out a soft sigh from her nostrils and said, "I wanted to tell him once, but I didn't want to say it after being interrupted. I was afraid he would feel pressured. Now that this has happened, I don't want him to know even more."Leanna hugged Zoey and said, "Zoey, you were under so much pressure. In the future, if you have something on your mind, you must tell me! Don't bear so much on your own.""Okay," Zoey curved her lips.Leanna filled her wine glass and raised it to toast Zoey. "Zoey, I apologize for the falling out we had in our past lives. How could I be such a jerk and give up on you as a good friend? Knowing that Nelson and Ariana were jerks, how could I let you jump into the fire pit? I really want to give my past self a good slap. Zoey, in this life and the next, we will be the best of friends!"Zoey also raised her glass and clinked it with hers, making a crisp sound. "Cheers, forever friends."The two of them drank alcohol and
