Stephany returned to the audience and gave Ariana a thumbs up gesture.Ariana was full of confidence, "Next, I will sing 'The Perfect Couple'!"The music started playing, and Ariana raised the microphone to lip sync.Just "The Perfect Couple" turned into "Break Up," and then it turned into "Blue World."The band looked confused, all stopped there, because they didn't know what song to sing next.They had never encountered such a situation.Ariana couldn't keep up with the rhythm at all and could only reluctantly try to lip sync.She had no idea what the next song will be, so when the songs transitioned, the big screen displayed Ariana's facial expressions in an awkward manner.The whole venue fell into silence, with the sound of solo singing echoing through the night sky, without any accompaniment, only seeing Ariana performing quietly on stage.Suddenly, the singing abruptly stopped, and Ariana didn't have time to control her expression.The whole audience saw her mouth moving withou
Zoey went to an ice cream shop and rented a power bank to charge.After turning on her phone, she discovered that Russell had sent her a message, which said that the butler was waiting for her at the same place.She replied to Russell's message: "My phone ran out of battery, I just charged it and turned it on. I'll be there in a moment..."Russell's call came in before she finished typing the words.She picked up and heard the slightly anxious voice of a man, "Where are you?""Oh, my phone ran out of battery. I found a power bank to charge it at the milk tea shop and just saw your message. I was about to reply to you.""Send me your location, I will come to pick you up."Zoey was surprised, "You came back?""Um, send me the location.""Oh, okay."Zoey did not hang up the phone and sent him a location."How did you come back?"Russell fell silent for a moment and said, "The project issues were resolved, but I didn't sleep well at the hotel."Troy: "..." Just won't admit it, would you?!
Zoey primarily wanted to tell Russell that she was Dr. Z and wanted to discuss his current physical condition with him, administer detoxification injections, and also check the ingredients of the medications he was taking.Before Russell had a chance to reply to her, his phone started vibrating.After he picked up the call, he said, "Dr. Z has arrived in Woodmerrow, but the exact location has not been revealed yet. This time, we absolutely cannot let him leave Woodmerrow. My mother's brain tumor requires a combination of modern and traditional medicine for treatment. He has refused previous requests, but this time, even if we have to break his legs, we must bring him here."Zoey: "..."In the past, she knew about Russell looking for Dr. Z, but at that time she only thought that Russell was looking for her to treat his leg, because of Nelson's influence, she never intended to treat him, and she didn't expect it was for Marlene.However, who could have taken care of Russell's leg condit
The car stopped in front of Silver Beach Mall.Brent turned around and said, "Mrs. Maddox, this is the most upscale shopping center in Woodmerrow."Zoey smiled and said, "Thank you, Brent. You can just wander around nearby, there's no need to follow me."Brent was very serious, "Mrs. Maddox, I must help you carry the shopping bags, just in case something happens, so that I can report to Mr. Russell. That day I couldn't find you after the concert ended, it still gives me chills today. If anything happened to you, I could only apologize with my life."Seeing Brent's serious expression, Zoey had no choice but to let him follow.Zoey arrived at the third floor and entered Z&L Design, a boutique for women's clothing.After all, it's better to keep the benefits within the family; if one is to spend, it should be on their own brand.The shop assistant stepped forward and put on a standard smile, "Welcome to Z&L Design, we are pleased to serve you."Zoey smiled faintly, "Let me have a look fi
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 sat in the shopping cart, with her legs crossed.She saw many people looking at them, and some even took out their phones to take pictures.Zoey was extremely embarrassed, she propped her hands on the edge of the shopping cart and was about to stand up, "Russell, I want to get out."Russell held her shoulder and said, "As long as you are not embarrassed, it is others who feel embarrassed.""Russell!"Watching the girl's angry and embarrassed expression, Russell's lips curved with delight. "I think it's cute. Many children have sat in shopping carts like this before. Let me show you what it feels like."Yeah, Zoey never experienced any of this when she was a child.She was very touched by Russell's consideration, but still felt a little embarrassed.She covered her face with both hands, feeling a deep regret for not being properly armed. Through the gaps between her fingers, she looked at the man and asked, "Can I go back a
Russell and Zoey drove to Dalton's hospital.After passing through the green channel, a series of checks were conducted.Dalton looked at the test results with a serious expression.Dalton looked at Russell and said, "This thing was inside the ventricle, and it wriggled like a parasite."Russell did not hide it from him either, "It was Venomous Worm."Dalton was taken aback, "How could I have gotten involved with something like this?""Caught off guard." Russell did not explain the twists and turns in it, "Is everything else normal?"Dalton handed him the blood test report and said, "Most of them were not up to standard, probably influenced by this thing."Zoey looked at the various arrows going up and down on the data, tightly pursing her lips.The Venomous Worm caused significant harm to Russell's body. If the Venomous Worm is not dealt with quickly, Russell will definitely be in danger.Dalton pushed his glasse
Russell, who had been tossing and turning, finally received a message from Zoey. It was already 3:30 in the morning.He replied instantly, "I couldn't sleep because you weren't here. How about you? Did you not sleep or just wake up?"Zoey hung up the phone on him."Russell.""Zoey."Both of them spoke at the same time, and the longing was magnified invisibly at that moment.Zoey said, "I didn't sleep, they prepared me twenty-two years of birthday presents, and I unwrapped them for a long time. Every gift was very cute, and I liked them a lot.""You liked it, that's good.""Thank you, Russell.""Fool, what are you thanking for?""If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have found my family so quickly."Russell chuckled, "It was your deserved fortune, and I thought it was too slow."Zoey asked, "Did you have any discomfort in your body?""No, don't worry. Go and have a rest, we still have to go to the
Russell couldn't help but think that the Keller family would not easily entrust Zoey to her, considering that Zoey had three brothers and one sister.However, if Zoey's life could have been smooth without experiencing so many hardships, even if they wouldn't be as affectionate as they are now, he would still be willing.Maybe their connection wasn't as deep anymore, but he believed that they would still fall in love at first sight, and he still had deep feelings for her.Royce prepared a guest room for him, and Russell looked at the spacious room, the lonely bed, feeling empty in his heart.He found that every second without Zoey was deeply missed.Standing in front of the window, he gazed at the silent moonlight. Gradually, his eyes became more and more deep and fierce.He took out his phone and called Troy, "Has the person been delivered?"Troy watched as Nathalie, who had been thrown into Snake Forest, was entwined by venomous snak
Russell was already the center of attention in the crowd, and the moment he stood up, he caught everyone's gaze.Except for a few people who knew that Russell had already recovered, everyone else was shocked and wide-eyed.The melons tonight were getting bigger and bigger.Russell was not disabled after all!Before, people were speculating how tall Russell would have been if he weren't disabled.Based on those long legs, everyone unanimously believed that there was a one-eight-eight.However, at present, it is estimated that the crowd was still a few centimeters short.Russell was born in at least 192.He was dressed in a well-fitted suit, exuding an air of elegance. His eyes were exquisitely dark, and his nose was perfectly straight. The lights in the banquet hall shone on his sharply defined face, making him incredibly dazzling.His gaze only fell on Zoey, without anyone else.He walked towards Zoey, and whereve
Russell finished organizing, and Zoey pushed the wheelchair over."Mr. Maddox, please have a seat."Russell looked at her mischievous appearance and felt much better.He raised his hand and gently stroked the girl's cheek, "Thank you for believing in me, and thank you for being by my side.""We were a couple, isn't that supposed to be?"Russell embraced the person, his heart melting completely.After a while, Zoey lightly patted the man's back and said, "Alright, if we don't go back to the banquet hall soon, people might actually think you've been eaten by fairies."Russell chuckled, "I was not a weak and ordinary person with no strength at all, I was a strong man!"Zoey withdrew from the man's embrace, "I thought you were just all talk and no action."Russell scratched her little nose and said, "I'm not a pig."Zoey scoffed lightly, "Didn't you just compare yourself to a pig earlier?"Russell suddenly reme
Zoey's eyes were cold as she walked up to Lola. She looked at Lola's provocative and jealous smile, and raised her hand to give a heavy slap across Lola's face."This slap was meant to hurt you, Carolyn."Lola was so angry that she wanted to curse, and Zoey retaliated by giving her a loud slap in the face."This slap was hitting you, Ariella."There were two claps."I am sorry for what I did to the Keller family and Madeleine, and for hurting so many innocent people!"Lola's cheeks swelled up instantly, and her eyes resembled venomous snakes, dark and fierce.Zoey clenched her slender neck, "If it weren't for the rule of law, I would have personally ended you! You're just trash!"She pushed Lola away and looked at Troy, exuding a menacing aura. "Take me to find Russell."Troy nodded, "Yes."Zoey took a step forward to leave, and Lola burst into laughter, "So what if you became a part of the Keller family? You've j
Because the suspect in the set explosion case had a deep subjective malice and had a severe negative impact on society, and many people were concerned about it, the court, after obtaining approval from the higher authorities, decided to conduct a live broadcast of the trial.Almost everyone knew the suspect Reagan.How could this person, who should have been executed long ago, appear alive at the banquet?Everyone present had experienced ups and downs, but they were all shocked by what happened tonight.At this moment, the director appeared and explained to everyone, "After our investigation, there are many doubts in this case. We will not wrong an innocent person, and of course, we will not let a bad person go! Reagan is undoubtedly wicked, but the person who instigated him to commit murder is even more despicable! Reagan will maintain the original sentence of death, and the mastermind behind the scenes will also receive the appropriate punishment."
Zoey was still in shock, and Madeleine had already embraced her tightly."You were my dear sister! Zoey! You were my dear sister!"Zoey was quite confused. She wasn't the Harmon family. She was the Keller family?!What happened?Tabitha and Jaelyn were also shocked by this news. They already liked Zoey, and now that they knew she was the daughter they had been desperately searching for, their eyes welled up with tears.They stood beside Madeleine and Zoey, feeling a bit awkward.Landyn furrowed his brow and asked, "Royce, besides you, who else knows about this?""Russell, Brodie, and Carsen all knew."A few little bunnies actually hid it from them, and Landyn felt a bit resentful, "Why didn't you guys tell us?"Royce smiled faintly, "Surprise."Davis was both surprised and delighted, "This is not only a gift for Zoey, but also a gift for us!"Lola felt her breath quicken at that moment, she never dreamed th
