Ariana was tormented all night long, and she returned home with a body full of bruises.
Dahlia saw her pale face and quickly brought her back to the room. When she saw the whip marks all over her body and the traces of candle burns, she felt extremely heartbroken."How could that damn Nelson treat you like this?"Ariana screamed like crazy, "It hurt so much! Mom, Nelson is done for!""What went wrong?" Dahlia quickly searched for the healing ointment in the medicine box."He was done in that aspect, completely losing his functionality, so he could only regain his manhood through abusive means."Dahlia was taken aback, "What? How could this happen?"Ariana squinted her eyes and said, "Nelson told me that it was Dr. Z who made the move, and that woman is in cahoots with Russell. Nelson now has a deep hatred for Russell, and there will definitely be a fierce battle between them!"She excitedly grabbed Dahlia's hand and said, "The more Nelson hateAt that moment, Russell's eyes were filled with crimson, and he was breathing heavily."Zoey, you helped me."Zoey bit her lower lip, made up her mind, and reached out for the man's belt.The scorching sensation made her breath almost stall, and her ears were burning.Her hands were trembling, and she closed her eyes, allowing him to fiddle with her.Russell greedily kissed her lips, not hiding his overwhelming desire.I don't know how long it took, but Russell finally stopped.Zoey moved slightly and asked, "Is it done?""Okay, it seemed good, but then it didn't."Russell looked at Zoey's watery eyes, her lips slightly parted and reddened from the kiss. The surprise in her eyes couldn't be concealed as she asked, "What does that mean?"Russell's Adam's apple rolled, "I wanted to have another go."Zoey: "?"Russell traced down along her slender neck and delicate collarbone, pushing up her T-shirt to reveal a section of fair
Zoey entered Russell's room and found him standing by the French window, talking on the phone.His deep blue pajamas blended seamlessly with the curtains of the same color, and upon hearing the sound, he turned his gaze. His fair complexion appeared even cleaner and more refreshing.He hung up the phone and walked up to Zoey.Zoey lowered her gaze, her teeth lightly biting her lower lip.Russell raised her chin with his fingertips and said, "Are you afraid to look at me?"Zoey mumbled, "Where is it?"Russell took a step forward and met her toe-to-toe, "I'm sorry, I was a bit out of control today.""It's okay, I can understand. After all, you were drugged.""What if I wasn't drugged?"Zoey swallowed her saliva, and she was indeed a little scared.Russell chuckled and lifted the person horizontally, "Go to bed early, hmm?""Okay."Zoey lay in the man's arms, her nose filled with the clean and pleasant scent of the man. Howeve
In the following days, Zoey was always leaving early and coming back late, and when she returned, she would quickly take a shower and go straight to bed.Because she had prepared an alternative plan, only she and Leanna knew about this matter, so the finished clothes could only pass through their hands.Russell was unaware of her plan and only felt that Zoey had been scared that night, so she was avoiding him.That night, Zoey came back with a tired body.She lay directly on the bed, and Russell, seeing this, helped her massage her shoulders and neck. "You look very tired," he said."Um." Zoey recounted this incident to Russell.Russell finally realized that Zoey was not ignoring him, but she was really tired.Zoey noticed his thoughtful expression and quickly climbed up, sitting on his lap. "What's wrong? What are you thinking about?"Russell's deep gaze fixed on her, "Were you thinking if your aunt's period had ended?"Zoey's face turne
After Russell hung up the phone, he looked at Zoey."That person was silenced."Zoey pursed her lips and said, "It seems like we will have to trace the source through Sophia's phone."Russell nodded.The two of them returned to the bedroom, and Russell began to recover the contents of his phone."The other party's card was not registered with an identity, and the location of the signal it emitted was not within the country. Nelson has been in the country all along, and there is no relevant information on his phone, so it cannot be ruled out that Sophia sent the message to an overseas code, which was then forwarded to Nelson by the other party. They communicate through virtual numbers on the internet, so the source cannot be traced."Zoey clicked her tongue and said, "Nelson has finally become smart. It doesn't matter, even the smartest fox can't escape the hunter's grasp. Since we suspect it's him, let's just keep an eye on him, he will definitely strik
Ariana looked towards the sound, her eyes filled with unmistakable anger and hatred.Roland looked at her provocatively, "Has everyone forgotten Zoey and Ariana's conversation? All of Ariana's sketches were created by Zoey's hand! Perhaps this time too!"Ariana almost bit her porcelain teeth, wishing she could devour the silver-haired man in front of her.Just in public, she still had to maintain her composure.She looked pitifully, "I did stay in a mental hospital for a few days because I was really depressed. I admit that Zoey used to be my voice substitute, but I don't admit that those sketches were drawn by her. Because those sketches were all created by my hard work, day and night, I absolutely do not accept Zoey's argument. I hope to prove my strength through this new product launch, and I believe I will lead Born Beauty further and further."The design director Jayleen on the side also nodded solemnly, "I can prove that these drafts were drawn by Aria
Under the runway is the audience seating area, where the ticket prices vary for each row. The closer to the front, the more expensive the tickets are.The first row, also known as the VIP area, was already being resold for one million per ticket, and tickets were extremely hard to come by.Most of them were female celebrities and heiresses.This time, even the winner of the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actress, Madeleine Keller, appeared on the scene.The woman had a graceful figure, and there was a charm in her eyebrows and eyes. However, she also exuded a coldness that made people feel she was only meant to be admired from afar and not approached.Madeleine treated her assistant well and especially bought her a ticket.The assistant whispered, "This time, Galaxy Studio used a new designer's sketches. It is said that Star didn't submit any drafts, and I don't know if they were excluded. This designer's name is Zoey, and she is the fiancée of R
The host, Leandro, took the stage and took a deep breath before forcing a difficult smile."Unexpectedly, today's product launch event gave birth to twin works, and they were even created by twin designers. So now, let's invite the two designers to take the stage!"In the lounge.Leanna patted Zoey's shoulder and said, "Good luck! I'll go find the best shooting angle now, and wait for Ariana, Jayleen, and Nelson to give you thirty bows."Zoey nodded, "Please shoot in high definition."Leanna made an OK gesture.As soon as Zoey left, the rest of the designers crowded around, "Ms. Spence, you know the inside story, right? Tell us first, please? We're all dying of impatience!""Yeah, Ms. Spence, stop beating around the bush. What's the matter after all?"Leanna pointed at the big screen and said, "Why rush? It's great to watch a movie for free."The crowd: "..."Zoey was about to step onto the stage from the waiting area behind the runw
The double doors of the exhibition hall were opened, and two bodyguards escorted a woman of about fifty years old inside.Zoey looked at Ariana, who tried to appear calm but panic was already evident in her eyes.She smiled and asked, "Were you nervous?"Ariana immediately retorted, raising her voice, "How is that possible! I didn't even know this woman, what does she have to do with me!"Zoey sighed, "You really don't know this woman, after all, it was Mrs. Harmon who personally contacted her."Ariana clenched the skirt by her side, "Don't talk nonsense! Don't falsely accuse my mother of crimes she didn't commit! Zoey, we are sisters after all, why are you lying with a clear conscience and trying to frame our mother?"Zoey shrugged, "Did I lie? Accuse? If you don't want others to know, don't do it!"The bodyguard escorted the woman onto the stage.The woman looked up and saw a sea of people below.Zoey's face darkened, "To tell you the t
The decades-long curse turned out to be a man-made revenge.This shocked everyone in Esterden Village.With the element of mysticism present, nobody knew whether it was true or false, and the people of Esterden Village had no suitable reason to fight back.Did you curse me? Is this how our village used to be?This reason was very far-fetched.However, once it is a deliberate retaliation, the nature changes.After all, those people who could have lived long lives lost their lives at the age of fifty, causing each happy family to fall apart.Everyone in Esterden Village was furious, and they were ready to march to Butteriron Village with weapons to demand an explanation.Zoey stopped everyone and said, "Everyone, calm down. I know this is hard to accept, but what if Butteriron Village doesn't admit it? Do you have any concrete evidence?"The people of Esterden Village vented their anger one after another."It has be
Russell noticed that she stiffened a bit and asked softly, "What's wrong?"Zoey released the hand that was wrapped around her waist and cleared her throat, "Um, there were a lot of people."Russell looked around and saw that there were many people standing not far away. Among them were Lilliana, Roderick, Enzo, and the people from Esterden Village.Zoey walked briskly over and pulled a smile, "You guys left and came back?"Lilliana nodded, "After we left Blackmere Village, we were on our way back to Butteriron Village. After walking for a kilometer, everyone felt that we couldn't just leave you in Blackmere Village, so we all came back. Heads can be severed, and blood can be shed, but we cannot sacrifice others' lives for our own safety. We, the people of Esterden Village, cannot do such a thing!"Other residents of Esterden Village also echoed this sentiment.Zoey was truly moved by the spirit of Esterden Village, but now she feels incredib
The girl's eyes were almost on fire, and she had a fierce look on her face. "So what if I scold you? You deserve it!""Hazel!" the woman grabbed her arm and whispered something.The girl, with red eyes, said to Zoey with great unwillingness, "I'm sorry."Zoey pretended to dig her ears, "I couldn't hear."The girl said it again loudly.Zoey sneered, "Talking is useless, there's still one minute left."Milton instantly understood Zoey's meaning, that it was not something that could be resolved with an apology, and he raised his hand and gave Hazel Hernandez a resounding slap.Hazel looked at Milton in astonishment, "Dad, did you really hit me?"The woman also reproached him.Milton scolded the woman, "Shut up, Marley!"Milton ignored her and asked Zoey, "Is this okay?"Zoey glanced at Xander Hernandez's condition, "Half a minute."Milton slapped Hazel again, causing the latter to fall to the ground.
On a pitch-black night, the sound of cicadas filled the air, disturbing and unsettling those who heard it.People from three villages gathered here, and the atmosphere was tense for a moment.Lilliana told Zoey, "The man with the big beard is Milton Nielsen, the chief of Blackmere Village, and the other one with braided hair is Tyler Cooley, the chief of Butteriron Village."The village chief of Blackmere Village had a fierce and intense look, with a strong aura of hostility.He pointed at Zoey and said in broken language, "You dare to trespass into my territory, and even killed my son. Now you want to set my slave free! You deserve to die!"Zoey's lips curved with a mocking arc, "No one is born to be anyone's slave, you have no right to detain, control, and judge others!""Survival of the fittest is the natural norm, Esterden Village is a backward village where the residents are all lower-class people, and being backward means being subject
The village was particularly lively, but for Lilliana on stage, the imprisoned Esterden Village, and Zoey, the laughter and joy were particularly grating.The kind of happiness built upon the suffering of others was shameful.I already have enough of my own, but still want to invade others', which is no different from being a robber or bandit.Zoey walked briskly, determined to rescue Lilliana and Esterden Village tonight.At this moment, a tall man blocked Zoey's way. He reeked of alcohol, swaying as he spoke something.Zoey felt that he must have been drunk, but she still kept her head down, afraid that the man would notice her flushed face.She was about to bypass him, but she didn't expect the man to grab her arm and try to hug her.Zoey lifted her gaze, her eyes cold and fierce. She pricked the man's neck with a needle held between her fingertips.The man instantly widened his eyes, his body stiffened, and his mouth couldn
Enzo ran over excitedly and handed over the grass in his hand, saying, "I recognize this grass, it can paralyze people's nerves, and it is very effective."Roderick took it and glanced at it, "You are somewhat useful."Enzo was speechless.Zoey pondered for a moment, pinching the grass. "So, we will do it like this when the time comes..."Roderick and Enzo fell into silence after listening.Zoey said, "This was the best way. Don't worry, I had absolutely no problem with my skills."At that moment, Russell approached them while holding Alberto.From a distance, Zoey thought that Russell was good at holding babies. In the future, when they have children, Russell will definitely be a good father.Russell approached and said, "Master said we might be able to make use of this kind of grass."Zoey nodded and explained the plan to him.Russell frowned, "This idea is good, it reduced certain risks, but I will replace you
"Bound Worm?"The old woman was taken aback, "The worm raiser could solve it."Roderick said, "We are also unsure who worm raiser is, are there any other methods?"The old woman thought for a moment, "To undo the Bound Worm, three conditions are required. First, the Venomous Worm must be a Golden Worm; second, undoing the Bound Worm requires the use of one's own blood, which is very harmful to the body, and no one is willing to do so; third, a fresh human heart is needed, which must be dried and ground into ashes. All three conditions are indispensable. Only Lilliana has the Golden Worm in the entire Mirland."Roderick squinted his eyes and asked, "Are you sure only Lilliana had it?"The old woman sighed heavily and said, "I know you doubt my words and fear that I am saying this just to make you go and save Lilliana. There is no need, I never counted on you four outsiders to be able to save Lilliana. After all, Blackmere Village and Butteriron Vill
Mirland is thirty kilometers away from Oakhedge.The first twenty kilometers could be driven, but the last ten kilometers had to be walked because it was a dense forest that had never been exploited.The Oakhedge government used to want to carry out the mining as well, but the Mirland people always found ways to cause trouble for the construction team.Either the workers suddenly contracted various illnesses, or the construction equipment experienced different malfunctions.Over time, the construction units also dared not take on the job, and the government also understood that this was the tactic of the Mirland people. They were also afraid of getting into trouble, so they abandoned the idea of mining Mirland.In the morning, Zoey and the others finished breakfast and then packed a van to go to Mirland.The drivers were quite talkative, and they started chatting with Enzo, who was sitting in the passenger seat, shortly after getting in the
When Zoey and Russell found Enzo, they were having a blast slurping stinky fish soup at the shop.Zoey felt that stinky fish soup was really delicious, but she really wasn't used to the smell.She stood at the door and waved, "Master, come out quickly!"Enzo's eyes lit up and his mouth puffed up, "Did you two come looking for a taste?"Russell slightly turned his body while holding the child, and only then did Enzo notice the child in his arms.He knew something was wrong, so he quickly took a few bites, drank the soup in big gulps, wiped his mouth, and ran out."Where did the child come from?"Zoey said, "The candy got stuck in his airway after saving it in front of the wonton shop. He spoke in Mirland language, and he wants you to translate it."Enzo pinched the little boy's hand and asked him in Mirland language how he was doing.The little boy remained silent, said a sentence, and then closed his eyes again.Z
