Seeing Mitbahl's seemingly sacrificial demeanor, Diana softened her expression.
"Don't be so tense," she said. "While I am indeed angry about your snitching, I won't pursue it further as long as you help me with something."
"Ma'am, anything you ask, I'm at your service," Mitbahl replied eagerly, ready to lay it all on the line.
"Help me investigate Jacob," Diana requested.
"Jacob???" Mitbahl looked puzzled. "What do you want me to find out about him?"
"I have a feeling that he might be involved with the Stewart family, mother and daughter," Diana explained. "I need you to dig into the details."
Mitbahl wore a conflicted expression. "Well, ma'am, I really don't think he could have anything to do with the Stewart family. You might be mistaken..."
"Didn't you just say you'd do anything for me?" Diana raised an eyebrow.
Mitbahl: ...
This...
Was turning out to be quite the challenge!
Diana was utterly
"Little guy, when you're taking pictures of a girl, you should wait until she's ready and poses. Don't you know that?" She teased. "Let me see, did you make me look ugly?""No," Kevin awkwardly shook his head.Angels always looked good in photos; they didn't need any preparation!"Pass me the phone," Diana said, flashing a smile at him. "How about the two of us take a picture together?"Kevin's eyes lit up instantly.He quickly handed his phone over to Diana, then eagerly sat down next to her.Diana reached out and gently placed her hand on his head, leaning her face close to his.Her touch was soft, and she exuded a warm fragrance.Kevin was momentarily taken aback, then a strange, warm, and happy feeling welled up within him.His mother had passed away when he was born.In his memories, he had no concept of a mother.Throughout his life, he had never been this close to anyone.His older brother was
When he's with her, he feels relaxed and happy. This warm feeling, he's never had it with anyone else. He wants to be with her forever... "What are you looking at?" Beside him, Yosef asked slowly. Kevin shook his head and then somewhat sullenly hugged his turtle backpack, preparing to put away his phone. But just then, a pale hand suddenly reached out in front of him. It was holding a piece of white chocolate in its palm. Kevin turned, surprised, and saw Yosef sitting with his legs crossed in the back seat, his voice calm. "You probably haven't had dinner yet. Let me allow you a small piece." Kevin's heart fluttered, and he reached out to take the chocolate. In an instant, his dull eyes regained their luster. He shifted his body and pulled out his phone again. "Bro, I asked you to come today because I wanted you to meet that woman, but you were too slow, she's already gone." He swiped his phone and handed a picture to Yosef. "But I already got her picture. Take a look,
Andrew, one hand on the steering wheel and the other holding a slender cigarette, exhaled a thin plume of smoke. Tony removed his mask, revealing his strikingly handsome face in the dim light. "Have you been waiting long?" he asked. "Just got here," Andrew replied. Andrew started the car and then handed the cigarette to Tony. Tony instinctively leaned in, taking the cigarette from Andrew's fingers and placing it between his lips. As he bit down on it, his tongue lightly brushed against Andrew's fingers, laden with seduction. Andrew narrowed his eyes. So provocative right from the start. He pressed the accelerator, and they sped away. The car raced all the way to his private mansion before coming to a stop. The two of them went up to the second floor and entered Andrew's bedroom. As soon as Andrew walked in, he reached out, pulling off Tony's coat and lifting his shirt to check his body. No wounds. The bruise on his shoulder from last time had faded. "Why the rush?" Andr
Everyone was even more astounded. No, this wasn't a smile of approval; it was a smirk! Just as everyone was speculating endlessly, John closed his notebook. "Meeting adjourned." With that, he took the lead and walked out. Diana, upon seeing him leave, was momentarily puzzled. "What's going on? Has the meeting not concluded yet?" "Just didn't want you to wait too long." "I'm fine," Diana replied, her eyes widening slightly. "I just noticed you didn't look too good earlier, so I thought I'd try to cheer you up. Did I disturb you guys?" John's gaze softened. "No," he said as he walked over, gently putting his arm around her waist. "It was them who disturbed us." Diana: ??? John's eyes held a hint of tenderness as he led her towards the direction of the office. Leaving behind a group of high-level executives who were left stunned and catching their breaths, it seemed like they weren't here to
Then, Mitbahl raised an amused eyebrow. "You've looked you are tired, I assume? It's been a while, Captain. You still seem as sharp and handsome as ever. But I won't keep you any longer. Goodbye!" As he spoke, Mitbahl prepared to make a quick escape through the window, his heart filled with bitterness. He wished he could tell Diana that Jacob was actually his immediate superior, the Captain: X! And there was no way Jacob could be conspiring with the Stewart family mother and daughter! But he couldn't. After all, he had taken the fall for everything. Mitbahl had just sauntered up to the window when someone grabbed him by the neck. Jacob, with his skillful grip on the nape of Mitbahl's neck, flung him to the ground effortlessly. Mitbahl emitted a feeble whimper, "Captain, your grip is as firm as ever, can't you be a bit gentler?" "You have to be like that?" "Don't you like it?" Jacob remained silent and reached for a hamm
"Yeah, there's some business to handle in Northern Europe, might take about a week," he explained. Hearing this, Diana calculated the dates. It seemed like he might not be back before Christmas. She felt a twinge of disappointment. After all, it would have been their first Christmas together. The black Bentley glided smoothly along the road. As they passed by a five-star hotel, Diana noticed several luxury cars parked outside. John cast a brief, cold glance at them before redirecting his attention, pulling Diana closer, and continuing their journey in the car. The people who had just exited the hotel also caught sight of the limited-edition black Bentley. In Cloud City, only John owned such a car. Charlotte's gaze flickered, locking onto the passing car. Although it was just a fleeting moment, she clearly saw two people in the back seat. Instantly, her eyes hardened, revealing a hint of coldness. Someone nearby
But little did he know, he would receive a round of societal beatdown instead. "You were like something out of a horror movie just now. You're lucky I didn't kill you." Diana gently patted her heart, which had nearly stopped in fear. She reached into the nearby drawer, took out her wallet, and handed him a few bills, saying, "Here, a hundred bucks a kick. These two thousand can be your medical expenses." Mitbahl's eyes lit up. He reached out, took the money, and looked at Diana excitedly. "Ma'am... I just had an immature idea!" "Since it's immature, maybe you shouldn't say it," Diana replied. "No! This is important!" Mitbahl insisted. Suddenly, Mitbahl took off his jacket and stood in front of Diana, brimming with excitement. "Ma'am, I want to make some money from you." Diana hesitated for a moment and then took out her phone, preparing to call John. "I'm going to tell John that you tried to seduce me," she said
Maddie huffed, "Fine, if you won't tell me, I'll investigate on my own when I recover. I'll find out who..." "You're not allowed to investigate!" Hearing this, Serena became quite agitated. She reached out and grabbed Maddie's collar. "Maddie, you have to listen to me. The other party is not someone you can mess with. If we get involved, it won't just be a matter of connections; we'll have major trouble on our hands. Do you understand?" Maddie's nervousness grew in response to her mother's reaction. She hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Alright." Upon hearing Maddie's agreement, Serena finally relaxed. Maddie furrowed her brow, however, her curiosity not diminishing. Who could it be? Serena's efforts to keep her in the dark only fueled Maddie's growing desire to find out. She was determined to uncover the truth. ... After realizing that Jacob wasn't the one behind Serena, Dian
