As dawn broke, sunlight silently crept through the curtain gaps.David had dozed off, and when he opened his eyes again, Selina was nowhere to be seen.Frustrated, he punched the edge of the bed before standing up and walking into the bathroom.Looking in the mirror, he barely recognized the strange
He didn't dare disobey, afraid Selina would get angry and never appear to him again.Though she only appeared to him at night while he wandered at the mountain's base during the day.Now she wanted him to go with them.If he obediently did as told, would she appear before him again tonight?The grou
As daylight broke, David walked out of the villa and went straight to the garage. As if guided by something, he drove directly to the cemetery.Walking slowly up the steps, he arrived at Rachel's grave.On the tombstone, his grandmother's kind eyes and gentle smile gazed at him.David crouched befor
"Oh, that woman often comes to see her grandmother."David seemed to realize something, and his already numb heart began to ache anew."The child's... father?" he asked with difficulty, his voice hoarse, as if countless grains of sand were grinding in his throat.The caretaker shook his head: "I hea
David woke up around noon.Selina's cenotaph had already been buried, right next to the small grave where David had collapsed.Opening his eyes, he stared at the white ceiling blankly, his mind empty.Light footsteps approached from afar.It was Sarah, coming to visit David after attending the buria
Or perhaps, hating his coldness, she had wanted to die together with him?He remembered too, at the hospital, when Selina had demanded to know if he didn't want the baby, or just didn't want her baby specifically.He had coldly told her to think whatever she wanted.Past scenes flashed before his ey
David's mind suddenly became crystal clear, as if awakening from a fog.He believed Selina was still alive, surely waiting for him.If she hadn't come to find him, it must be because bad people had captured her - he needed to save her.David, who had originally abandoned his Nestor identity and plan
A high-level airline executive was also forced to resign.David sat in his office, expressionlessly watching the airline's press conference on TV, his dark eyes radiating an ancient coldness.Everyone had thought it was an accident, never imagining this cause."Mr. Wilson, Travis Kettering refuses t
Startled by the unexpected silhouette in the darkness, Selina jumped, instinctively curling into a ball."It's me!" David quickly said, realizing he had scared her.Hearing his familiar voice, Selina finally let out her held breath.The next second, she pushed away David's hand as he reached out to
As for David, Selina was so angry she refused to even mention him."How did things go with William and Grandfather?" Selina asked Thomas in a low voice, noticing Daniel and Nicole seemed relaxed.Thomas, wanting to make amends, told her everything.Bruno had taken in Dominic's remaining men and disc
Selina didn't give Bruno any chance.After hanging up on Bruno, she called Olivia directly to tell her they'd be taking the earliest flight back home.Before Olivia could even understand what was happening, she found herself on the flight home with Selina.Even after they landed and got into Ashley'
Pretending he had never escaped.Thomas's smooth handling of the Meracia situation was also thanks to the information David provided."Why did you keep this from me?" Selina's fingertips felt ice cold, struck by an inexplicable feeling of betrayal.She alone had been kept in the dark, worrying about
After tossing and turning, Selina couldn't fall back asleep. After calculating the time difference, she decided to call Thomas.Thomas had just finished dealing with William's matter when he saw Selina's call. Checking the time in Japan, his expression changed slightly as he quickly answered."Selin
Worried he wouldn't believe her, she added, "You can verify right now who really controls S Tech Group."Bruno hesitated before hanging up to verify Selina's claims.He had originally planned to stay by Selina's side as David, hoping she would gradually fall for him.He believed that with enough tim
He was much more cautious now, choosing his words carefully.Selina took a deep breath, her bottom lip turning white from biting it, and finally steeled herself."Didn't you say before that you'd fed David to the fish?" she said through gritted teeth. "Now you're trying to use him to threaten me? Do
The implication was clear - if they protected Selina well, he'd overlook their failure with Bruno. If not, their punishment would be even worse.The guards quickly agreed.Watching Joseph stride away urgently, Selina had no choice but to return to the hotel under the guards' watchful eyes.She paced
Seeing Selina on the verge of losing control, Joseph quickly grabbed her arm. "Selina, stay calm. Now that we have him, unless he wants to die..."Before he could finish, Bruno suddenly broke free from his captors and made a dash for the balcony.No one expected Bruno to make such a desperate move,
