At that moment, Nelson lying on the sickbed was unaware that his parents were planning to save him.
He requested the police to call Russell and tell him about the important matter concerning Zoey.The police reported to the director, but the director did not immediately reject it. Instead, he called Russell to ask for his opinion.Russell heard about the matter concerning Zoey and agreed.Soon, he received a call from Nelson."Russell, can you please spare me, considering our blood relationship?"Russell coldly said, "No."Nelson knew it would be like this, but he didn't give up and still wanted to ask.Russell lost his patience, "If it weren't for you mentioning something about Zoey, I wouldn't have said another word to you."Nelson chuckled, "Russell, you were really ruthless to me."He complained and then, afraid that the other person would hang up, immediately said, "I have a video from eight years ago in the bar, where Ariana waThe crimson flames illuminated the night sky, windows shattered with a crisp sound, and thick black smoke billowed into the air.In the air of Woodmerrow Hospital, besides the pungent smell of disinfectant, there was also a choking smell of heavy smoke.People fled in all directions, cries, shouts, and coughs merging into one.The medical staff maintained order and ran towards the stairwell with the crowd.The originally empty staircase has now become very crowded.There are a total of 17 floors in the hospital. The fire broke out simultaneously on the 15th, 14th, and 13th floors. Nelson lived on the 13th floor, so he was affected by it.Just at that moment, the power supply system of the entire building was cut off, and the backup generator also broke down.The building instantly plunged into darkness, and the raging fire was like a giant beast, baring its teeth and claws in the night sky, ready to devour everything.People in the stairwell s
Upon hearing Zoey's question, Russell also nodded."So you were also thinking about this question."Zoey lightly hummed, "This car accident left no trace whatsoever, making it very difficult to investigate, which is quite abnormal."Russell tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and said, "I had given the surveillance footage to the police, and they were investigating.""But I couldn't be at ease as I wasn't sure if the deceased was Nelson, he was like a time bomb to us."Russell lifted the person horizontally and walked towards the big bed, saying, "You didn't sleep at all last night, so rest well."Zoey pondered for a moment and said, "Okay."Russell rolled over on top of her, "Can't sleep? How about we do something we both love?"Zoey remembered their first time together, Russell kept her busy the whole afternoon, and her legs are still weak till now.She whispered, "I was a little tired."Russell didn't intend to be serious, he w
Zoey hugged Leanna and kissed her on the face.Although both of them were wearing masks, they still looked very intimate.Leanna blinked her big eyes and asked, "Wha-what happened?"Zoey expressed her idea, "If the truck transporting Nelson inside is a car, we can easily send him away. We can look for cars that suddenly appear before and after the section where the truck disappears on the surveillance."Leanna was still a little confused, but she felt that Zoey seemed to have understood some of the issues.She foolishly exclaimed.Zoey let her go first, she wanted to call Russell.Leanna nodded, looking at Zoey's happy and relieved expression, and she also breathed a sigh of relief.Zoey called Russell and shared this hypothesis.Russell also thought it made sense, so he called the police station and explained the situation.The director instructed the police officers to check the surveillance footage in response to this speculation.
Zoey couldn't help but find it amusing when she noticed Russell acting jealous. "Jealous? Leanna is a girl!"Russell's brow furrowed gradually, "Can girls kiss too?""Of course we can! We used to do it often..."Russell placed his thumb on her lips and said, "No, you can only kiss me, and only be kissed by me."Zoey felt that this man was being domineering now. She grabbed his wrist and said, "You're being unreasonable! It's just a kiss on the cheek, and we're even wearing masks."The man's kiss fell before the words were finished.Unlike before, this kiss was urgent and impatient, carrying a hint of punishment.Zoey realized that Russell was truly jealous, and she finally understood how strong a man's possessiveness could be, even to the point of being jealous between girls.She responded gently to him until the man's kiss gradually became tender.Russell rested his forehead against hers, his breath slightly labored."Don't be so cl
At this time, Aldmill.In a secret base.Nelson opened his eyes and the bright light was so dazzling that he couldn't help but close them again.He wanted to raise his hand to cover his eyes, but he found himself tied up and unable to move.He shouted, "Is anyone there? Help!"The sound of footsteps came, and an exceptionally handsome man appeared in front of him. The man had a pair of deep brown eyes, a high nose bridge, thin lips, and looked like a mixed-race."Shh, you're so noisy," the man raised an eyebrow, holding a syringe in his hand, filled with pale blue liquid.Nelson exclaimed in fear, "What are you going to do?""What do you think was the value of being saved?"Nelson didn't know who saved him or what their intentions were. At that time, all he wanted was to stay alive, so he didn't even try to save his own mother, who could have been saved.He watched helplessly as they threw a male corpse into the car, positioned Livia
The next day.Zoey came to Leanna's office and looked at her with a slight apology."I'm really sorry this time."Leanna clicked her tongue and said, "Why are you and I even discussing this? Toby and I have already decided that when it's time for the engagement banquet, we will find a reason to cancel the engagement."Zoey: "...Actually, Toby is not bad. You can give him a try."Leanna took a sip of coffee and said, "I and this dog of a man are incompatible. I feel like he was born to undermine me."At that moment, the phone on the table vibrated.Leanna glanced and said, "Speak of the devil and he shall appear."She rolled her eyes and picked up the phone, "Hello, jerk, no, you heard wrong."Zoey: "..."Leanna instantly widened her eyes and said, "You are coming to pick me up for the family dinner tonight? Oh, alright. Got it."After hanging up the phone, Leanna looked at Zoey and said, "Tonight, the Spence family and the Suare
Ariana dragged her exhausted body and knocked on the door of a rental house in the old Woodmerrow neighborhood.Dahlia yawned and opened the door, "Are you back?"Ariana nodded and walked in.Dahlia saw the handbag she was carrying and her tired eyes instantly sparkled, "What good things did Mr. McCarthy buy for you?""He was so stingy, it was just a jade bracelet worth a hundred thousand.""I'll take a look." Dahlia snatched the bag and sat on the sofa to unpack and examine it. "The quality is not as good as the million-dollar one, Mr. McCarthy is really stingy. Ariana, you better not wear it, just serve Mr. McCarthy well and let him buy you an expensive one later." After saying that, she put it on her own wrist and looked around.Since the Harmon family went bankrupt, the three of them have been living in this rental house.Dahlia used to play mahjong every day, often losing money, so she always asked Ariana for money to spend.Jordan also s
The private room was filled with the fragrance of tea, and the bustling noise of people's conversations in the hall could be heard from time to time.Zoey glanced lightly at Nathalie, who was sitting on Russell's right side, and then lowered her gaze to the tea leaves floating in the tea cup.For some reason, she always felt a silent protest.Russell said quietly, "Nathalie, you were sitting in the wrong seat. Braeden was sitting here just now."Nathalie smiled and said, "I knew it, I just sat down for a while after pouring the tea."She looked at Braeden who entered the door, stood up and said, "Braeden is back, I'll sit back down now."She came and sat beside Zoey, with a faint serene smile on her face.The auction venue quickly quieted down as the master of Treasure Hall took the stage to begin the opening remarks for tonight's auction.The first item is a vase from two hundred years ago.This was once auctioned off and now the buyer i
Just at the critical moment, Gilberto lifted his foot and kicked the man in the chest, and the silver light flashed by.The man was kicked and flew to the ground, the dagger in his hand clattered and fell, with a touch of blood stained on it.Gilberto walked briskly forward and lifted his foot, stepping on the chest of the latter, who spurted out a mouthful of blood."Speak! Who sent you?"Gilberto's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and his voice was cold and ruthless.The man grabbed his trouser leg with one hand and reached out to search for the dropped dagger with the other hand.Just as he was about to touch the dagger, his hand was firmly stepped on by Russell.The man was unable to move and let out cries of pain from his mouth.The security guards quickly rushed up, subdued the person, and called the police.Zoey approached and saw Gilberto's light-colored jeans were torn, furrowing her brows she asked, "Did
On the fourth day after Leanna left, Toby came to Russell's office.He sat on the visitor chair with a gloomy face, "I couldn't find her, help me."Russell's pen paused as he reviewed the contract, and he looked up at the other person. "You could make a different request."Toby squinted his eyes, "Russell, I never expected you to be afraid of your wife."Russell faintly curled his lips, "At least I had a terrifying wife, unlike someone who lost their wife and didn't even have a chance to be scared."Toby was speechless.He didn't expect that Russell turned out to be a husband slave, obeying his wife's every command."I was very worried about Leanna's situation. There was a misunderstanding between her and me, and I don't think Zoey wants Leanna to be unhappy either."Russell laughed and said, "Leanna said that the old must go and the new must come, she will find a man who will make her happy."Toby said, "...You will hav
In this case, Zoey had already asked her many times.Before, Leanna used to deny it, but this time she remained silent.Leanna took out a tissue and blew her nose again. She let out a sigh and accepted it."I never expected that I would actually fall in love with a rotten cucumber."Zoey smiled and said, "Perhaps there was some misunderstanding among all this?"Leanna snorted lightly, "What misunderstanding? I think he was having an affair with Christine!"Zoey called the waiter and ordered a cup of coffee and a cup of hot milk.She picked up the hot milk and slowly poured it into the coffee. "When you add milk to coffee, you can't see its original color anymore, so you can't say that milk is black, it's just that you can't distinguish it right now. Many things shouldn't be judged by their appearance, but by their essence. I think it would be better for you to directly ask Toby. Whether we separate or not, we shouldn't misunderstand e
Leanna suddenly pushed away the man's shackles, quickly got up, and covered the blanket in front of her with both hands, "What have you done to me?"Toby propped himself up with both hands, lazily leaning against the headboard, with the blanket covering his waist, revealing his well-defined chest and strong abdominal muscles.He stretched out his long arm and took the cigarette box from the bedside table, lighting one.He took a deep breath and blew a smoke ring towards Leanna, who coughed a few times.Her eyes were red, "Toby, what did you do to me!"Toby said leisurely, "I brushed your teeth, took a bath for you, wiped your body, and did what a man does for a woman."What did the man do to the woman?Isn't that...Leanna felt very aggrieved as she thought about how Toby had taken away her first kiss, and now her virginity had been taken away inexplicably.He was clearly flirting with another woman and then touched her.
The River Apartments in the Woodmerrow city center, where every inch of land is precious.Christine looked towards the bathroom and heard the man inside humming a tune while taking a shower. A glimmer of excitement flashed in her eyes.Standing by the window, she watched as a black Maybach approached, her smile deepening at the corner of her lips.The bright window reflected her sinister smile, and then she raised her hand and slapped herself twice, messing up her hair and shirt.She picked up a pill from the table, popped it into her mouth, and then put the medicine into the man's bag.The sound of the showerhead in the bathroom stopped, the door opened, and a man with a confident stride walked out, wearing only a towel around his waist.He raised his hand and wiped the water off his face, with a smile playing at the corners of his mouth.The smile froze on his face when he saw the woman in a disheveled state, sobbing."What,
The colorful laser lights dazzled people's eyes, and the heavy metal music also made them feel dizzy.Leanna lifted her eyelids and looked at the man in front of her. Suddenly, she burst into laughter and patted the man's shoulder. "Hey, young man, you insist on looking like my plastic husband instead of resembling someone else?"Toby frowned, "Plastic husband?""Yeah!" Leanna's eyes were unfocused as she burped, "He and I had a plastic relationship, as fake as it could get."Toby pursed his lips slightly and said, "Isn't it on a marriage certificate? How could it still be fake?"Leanna raised her index finger and shook it, "If it weren't for my best friend, I wouldn't have married that dog of a man!""Dog man?"Leanna nodded, squinting her eyes with a look of gritted teeth, "Toby is a scoundrel! I wish him to be infertile and have no descendants!"Toby couldn't help but laugh and said, "So harsh?""Of course! You should
Zoey briefly introduced Gilberto's background, "If he really had a grudge against me or Russell, then why would he save us? Clearly, he had the opportunity to let us die. There was no need to save us only to kill us later, right? It would be pointless.""That's true," Leanna couldn't understand either, "Let's not think about it for now. When we have time, let's have a drink together! I've missed you.""Things haven't been going well lately. I used to spend every day in the lab, but I got distracted by drinking. Do you want a drink too? What's wrong, did you have another argument with Toby?""Who would get angry with that bastard!""Hahaha..." Zoey laughed, "Isn't this tone of cursing an expression of anger? What happened?"Leanna fell silent for a moment and said, "Toby, that dog of a man, has someone else outside! That woman even sent me photos of the two of them watching fireworks."Zoey raised an eyebrow, eliciting a playful smile, "Isn't
Fifteen minutes later, the hotel room door was knocked.Gilberto opened the door and a woman wearing a long fur coat stood at the entrance.She painted delicate makeup on her face, and her luscious red lips seemed to be inviting men.The woman arched her eyebrows lightly, slowly unbuttoned her coat, and the thin black lace suit made her already fair skin appear even more translucent, with her ample curves on the verge of bursting out, incredibly sexy.The bright red cord of the bathrobe extended down to the man's waist.Gilberto looked at the tempting woman and pulled her into his arms, pressing her against the wall.As soon as the hotel room door closed, the woman approached and offered her red lips.Gilberto suddenly turned his head, and the kiss landed on the man's jawbone."Get lost!"The woman was very infatuated with him, after all, such an exceptional man was very rare.Apart from Russell from Woodmerrow, t
Half an hour later, the private room door was pushed open.Madeleine was in front, followed by the Braylen family.Seeing Zoey stand up, Madeleine walked over quickly and gave her a big hug, her voice filled with joy, "Zoey!""Madeleine."Madeleine let go of her and raised her hand to pinch her cheeks, "You've lost weight."Zoey smiled, "You said the same thing as Mom.""It's just that you've lost weight!" Madeleine looked at Russell. "You haven't taken good care of my younger sister, have you?"Russell smiled faintly and said, "My mistake, I will correct it in the future.""Admitting the mistake was quite quick." Madeleine also knew that there was a reason behind it, so she didn't make things difficult for Russell anymore.Carolyn stood excitedly on the side, rubbing her hands together. "Can I also hug Zoey?"Madeleine quickly made way, "Of course, you can."Carolyn threw herself into Zoey's arms and said,
