In order to not stand out, Zoey wore all black.
As she walked, she said to Madeleine, "Do I look like a blind bear now?"
Madeleine laughed and said, "Where did this adorable blind bear come from?"
Zoey curved her lips, and Madeleine lifted the scarf up to cover most of Zoey's face.
The two of them went out through the back door and saw a black Volkswagen parked at the entrance.
The driver's cabin door opened, and Roland ran to the back door of the car. "Zoey, get in."
Zoey nodded and sat inside with Madeleine.
Roland looked around cautiously and then got into the car and drove away.
During this period, Roland was assigned to the research institute, where he would stare at the experimental data every day and inform Zoey of any developments immediately.
Roland glanced at the rearview mirror and said, "Zoey, I observed that the experimental data was stabilizing, but the mice exhibited some symptoms of drowsiness."
Zo
Russell and Zoey hid in the corner of the alley, leaning against each other, enjoying a long-lost tranquility.Zoey recounted all the past events that Alonso had told to Russell.Russell had never imagined that Zackary had held a grudge for over forty years, and had sent his grandson to seek revenge on him."How dare Zackary, who killed so many people in the Maddox family, have the audacity to seek revenge on us?" Zoey exclaimed angrily. "This person has no moral compass and has always believed that he should be the head of the Maddox family, that he should have supreme power. He is just a branch of the Maddox family, and he should be grateful to receive any dividends from the Maddox family. How can he shamelessly try to take over the Maddox family like this?"Russell sighed heavily from his nostrils, "Desire is at play. He intensely longs for what he does not possess, wanting to seize it for himself. He does not consider this to be wrong."Zoey fe
Sitting in Gilberto's car, Zoey turned her face away from the window, her eyes devoid of focus and any trace of vitality."Do you particularly hate me?"Gilberto couldn't bear the silence and oppressive atmosphere any longer, so he cleared his throat and asked.Zoey did not answer the man's question; silence was the best response.Gilberto clenched the steering wheel, and suddenly changed lanes, heading towards a large tree on the side of the street.Just as they were about to collide, he abruptly slammed on the brakes.The car barely stopped ten centimeters away from the big tree, and he looked at Zoey with an expressionless face, still gazing out of the window.He grabbed Zoey by the back of her head and turned her towards him, anger filling his eyes. "Tell me, do you really hate me?"Zoey chuckled lightly, "And what if not? Your grandfather wanted to possess things that didn't belong to him, to kill others, and felt that eve
Russell fell silent. He didn't care about his own life or death, but he cared about Zoey and the child.Roland, who had been silent all along, spoke up, "Zoey actually hinted at me when she was getting in the car. She said if a blizzard is coming within two weeks, we should enjoy this beautiful scenery while we can."Madeleine asked, "Zoey said this, but I didn't think much about it. What does it mean exactly?"Roland sighed lightly, "The antidote still has half a month of experimental time. Zoey's suggestion is to inject Mr. Maddox with the antidote in case of an emergency. Although there may be some side effects, it is still better than being controlled by Gilberto's drugs. As for Zoey, I believe she has her own plan."Russell's thin lips were trembling, "Her plan was to save me, and she was working hard to find a solution to the chip. If it didn't work, she would go down with Gilberto. I can't let anything happen to her."Roland said, "The probl
Zoey stared at the woman intently, watching as she took out a syringe and a vial from the silver box.The woman extracted the liquid from the medicine bottle using a syringe, expelled the air inside, and grabbed Zoey's hand to inject it into her bloodstream.Zoey grabbed the woman's hand and snatched the syringe, pushing the liquid away, then leaped up and pushed the woman towards Gilberto.Gilberto stumbled as he watched Zoey run out of the cage, his eyes filled with a sinister glare.His lips curled into a sinister arc as he pushed the woman to the ground and walked out of the cage, heading towards the outside.Meanwhile, Zoey ran downstairs and saw that there were many mercenaries in the living room aiming heavy weapons at her."Could you run out?"The man's voice sounded behind her.Zoey clenched the needle against her own neck and turned her head. "Gilberto, you're just using me to threaten Russell. If I die, I'd like to s
A private airport in the suburbs.When Gilberto arrived, Zackary had just gotten off the plane.The old man had gray hair on both sides of his temples, with a serious expression on his face. When he saw Gilberto approaching briskly, his cloudy eyes squinted slightly.He tightened his grip on the dragon-headed cane in his hand and scolded, "I thought you were bewitched by that woman, not even recognizing your own grandfather!""I dare not," Gilberto lowered his gaze."You dare not?" Zackary sneered, "You dare to confine me, what else do you not dare to do?"Gilberto glanced at the man supporting Sir and said, "Didn't you contact Uncle and bring him out to Lochcliff?"The man's name was Ernest Maddox, and he was Zackary's nephew.Due to health reasons, Gilberto had no children throughout his life. There were high expectations for him, but he disappointed everyone by keeping the old master under house arrest and showing leniency t
A dim basement.Gilberto watched as Brock's tendons in his hands and feet were severed on the ground. He wiped his bayonet with a white cloth.He suddenly lifted his eyelids and said, "Why did you repeatedly defy me again and again?"Brock looked up at him and said with a bitter smile, "Because I was only doing it for your own good, Gilberto. I was only doing it for your own good!"Gilberto stared at him with a fierce gaze and said, "I have given you several chances already, and you have not appreciated them. The thing I hate the most is when someone defies me."Brock's eyes were red, and blood dripped from the corner of his mouth. "And what about Zoey? She has defied you not just once or twice!""Did you compare yourself with her?""Yeah, how can I compare to her? You like her! But does she like you?" Brock was unwilling, "Gilberto, I love you, I have loved you for many years!""Your love disgusted me!" Gilberto gritted his te
Zoey squinted her eyes and scrutinized her, "Would you be so kind as to help deliver the message?""Oh, indeed, I wasn't that kind-hearted, it was just a transaction. He helped me obtain the antidote, and I helped him deliver a message.""What antidote?""Gilberto poisoned me, and I had to take medicine every month, or else my whole body would rot and die."Zoey suddenly grabbed her wrist. Abigail was not lying. Her pulse was very irregular.She asked, "What words?"Abigail said, "He asked me to tell you that he was strong and well."Zoey furrowed her brows, doubting the truthfulness of this statement. It was a sentence devoid of any substance.Does this statement have any meaning?Abigail shrugged, "Maybe he wanted to put your mind at ease."She looked at the cage, reaching out to touch the hard steel bars. "The gaps are so small, are they that afraid you'll escape? It seems my cousin wants you to be a canary! I'
Alonso raised his hand and wiped the corner of his mouth, "How did I perform just now?""You performed well, but you need to be humble," Russell held his forehead to prevent him from moving.Alonso pushed away his hand, quite displeased, "Where does a son pat his father's head?""If you press it, just bear with it for a while.""..." Alonso looked at him, "What do we do next?""You were admitted to the hospital, and Mom took care of you. The rest was left to us."Alonso was a bit worried, "What did you want to do?""Hold a funeral for me."Alonso said, "...Then I showed up."Then you can shed tears and faint again, go to the hospital, and tell mom to also pay attention to her emotions."Okay, your mother could definitely act well."Russell patted his shoulder and said, "Take a nap, you have been having bigger eye bags lately.""You brat, you've been too repressed these days, haven't you? Making fun o
Nancy felt that she had already indulged herself last night, and she didn't want to spend the whole day lying in bed today."Are you free today?"Dalton lowered his head and kissed her fair neck, his voice hoarse, "I don't know, if there's anything, the hospital will give me a call."Nancy felt the man's momentum building up. Her legs were now sore, and she placed her hands on the man's chest, "Is your phone out of battery?"Dalton noticed her resistance and didn't continue. He kissed her rosy lips and said, "I'll go take a look."After he got out of bed, he went to freshen up, then changed his clothes and left the bedroom. He picked up the trousers from the floor and took out his phone, only to find that it had run out of battery.I charged my phone and turned it on, only to discover several missed calls.He tightened his lips when he saw that string of numbers.He opened the message, and there were several messages on it, all
Dalton watched as the bubbles rose in the bottle of beer. He lifted the bottle and poured all the liquid into his throat.Nancy felt that he had never truly gotten over Amiya, so she also lifted the bottle and drank it up with a gurgling sound.She also hid a lot from him, for example, when they went to Mount Greycoast together, Craig was also there. It was Craig, Nyasia, and Mario who rescued her.Craig clutched his arm as he saved Nancy and narrowly escaped before the bus exploded, almost losing his life.After that incident, she and Craig fell in love.They agreed to take the college entrance examination together and be together forever.But the heavens did not comply with human wishes, and before she applied for the college entrance examination, her father, Kolton Eaton, found out about this matter.He went to find Craig and told him that he was not worthy of Nancy at all, both in terms of family background and personal conditions
Nancy sat up and looked towards the door.She took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and got out of bed to open the door."I said I wouldn't eat anymore..."She thought it was Reina, but to her surprise, it turned out to be Dalton."Did you finish the surgery?"Dalton lightly hummed, looking at her with a somewhat hazy expression. "It was already nine o'clock, you were half asleep."Nancy was surprised by the man's gentleness, "Hmm, I slept for a while.""That was me who woke you up.""No." Originally, this dream was meant to wake up."Are you hungry? Let me take you to eat something."Nancy asked, "Did you eat?"Dalton said, "No, he came straight to the operating table.""I went to tidy up a bit."Dalton held her hand and said, "No need, it was fine just like this."Nancy smiled lightly and said, "Okay."Dalton led Nancy down the stairs, and Reina, sitting on the sofa, looked
Nancy really couldn't believe this was true, but the man's passionate kiss was definitely not fake.She always had a sense of uncertainty, but Dalton seemed to perceive her thoughts and kissed her even more passionately.Nancy's first kiss was his, and the first night was also his.She was completely his.Nancy's kisses were clumsy and inexperienced, but her initiative easily aroused the desires of men.Dalton looked at her fair body, with crimson at the corners of his eyes.He took her down with him until late at night.Afterwards, he took Nancy to take a bath and then carried her out to blow dry her hair.Nancy was tossed around so much that she didn't wake up at all.Dalton looked at her for a while, and then the phone on the bedside table started vibrating.He glanced at the numbers on the screen, then took his phone to the living room.He stood in front of the French window, lit a cigarette, and smoked
After Nancy finished breakfast, she went to the gallery, and the employees noticed something unnatural on her face.After all, everyone saw the scene where the original wife was provoked by the third party yesterday, and they all sympathized with Nancy.Everyone was being extremely cautious, afraid of making any mistakes that would further upset this poor woman.Nancy also noticed everyone's strange behavior, but she couldn't explain her marital life, so she could only pretend not to hear or not to notice.She did not receive any messages or calls from Dalton throughout the entire day.She knew that last night was just a game for adults.Perhaps one day, Dalton would divorce Amiya because of her.However, what she didn't expect was that Dalton came to the art gallery at four o'clock in the afternoon.Nancy was very surprised as she looked at the man appearing at the office door, after all, this was a treatment she had never exp
Nancy trembled with her eyelashes, feeling the scorching breath of the man.Her hands trembled as she tightly grasped the man's shirt, a piercing pain shot through her, and she felt like her whole being was about to be torn apart."Ouch!"The painful sound of a woman came, and Dalton also felt that barrier.So that night, nothing happened between them, and now it is the woman's first time.Dalton looked at the tears in the corner of Nancy's eyes, his Adam's apple rolled, "Be good, I'll be gentle."He was clear-headed and knew that they were just a business alliance, perhaps one day they would get divorced, and he should stop.But at that moment, he simply didn't want to stop, and this feeling was very peculiar.He was a medical student and had performed many dissections and surgeries. The human body held no fascination for him.Even the most beautiful bodies were just organs to him in the past.Before, he was attr
The air froze at that moment.Nancy looked at this scene in shock, Dalton's face covered in cream.Luckily, when Nyasia was cutting the cake, the candles and the cake stand fell to the ground, otherwise Dalton would have definitely gotten hurt.Nyasia was not from a wealthy family, so how could she afford to compensate Dalton?Nancy pulled Nyasia behind her and said, "Sorry, Dalton, Nyasia didn't mean to. Don't be angry."Nyasia rolled up her sleeves and said, "Scumbag men and cheap women should be taught a lesson!"Nancy looked at Mario and said, "Mario, you take Nyasia and go first."Mario watched as Dalton raised his hand to wipe the cream smeared on his face, knowing that not taking Nyasia away would only make things worse.He grabbed the person around the waist and carried them into the elevator. Before the elevator doors closed, he saw Nancy going to wipe Dalton's face.Nancy was pushed away by Amiya. "Dalton, are
Dalton?Nancy hesitated for a moment, looked inside, and saw Dalton sitting on the couch, lazily leaning against the backrest, drinking a glass of wine by himself.She was afraid that the people inside would see her, so she immediately hid to the side of the door.Dalton's voice came, neither loud nor soft, with a casual tone, "The wedding at home is being prepared."Elliott Moody approached him and said, "Amiya is not leaving this time, she's staying in the country. She's now a famous wedding dress designer! She left in the first place for her dreams, so why do you think she's back now? Surely it's for you! Don't you want her anymore?"Nancy spoke softly, her body stiffened, and her fingers also closed together.She waited for the man's answer, but the man remained silent.Footsteps were heard, and she immediately turned and left.Standing on the terrace, facing the cool breeze, Nancy, who was dressed lightly, felt even colder
At the toast session, Carsen accompanied Carolyn, who had changed into an evening gown, to go table by table to propose toasts.Carsen drank red wine, while Carolyn drank juice.Zoey raised an eyebrow at Russell and said, "Carolyn has arrived, are you ready?"Russell had long noticed that Carolyn was eager to come to this table to propose a toast. He chuckled lightly, "Of course."In no time, Carsen and Carolyn came over. They first toasted the elders and then started toasting in order of seniority.First, it was Royce and Mya, Brodie and Joselyn, Madeleine and Kristian, and then it was Zoey and Russell.Carsen looked at Russell and said, "Russell, thank you for taking care of Carolyn all these years. Come, Carolyn, let's have a drink with Russell."Zoey smiled and said, "Wishing Uncle Carsen and Aunt Carolyn a hundred years of happiness!"Russell nodded and raised his glass, "Cheers to Uncle Carsen and Aunt Carolyn's happy mar
