"I told you not to save her. You are saving a murderer. Five years ago, it was she and her sister who plotted and killed Mikael," Rachel cried, glancing at Lisa with hatred. Lisa, who had initially calmed down, seemed to be agitated by her words. Her eyes were wide, and her breaths sounded particularly eerie and horrible. "Natalie, the blood, look at the blood, she's too agitated. I can't stop it from spurting out!" Eli Wayne reminded her. "Calm down," Natalie Wheeler said to Lisa. She had to keep her emotions in check. Otherwise, it would be hard for her to stitch the wound up without the advanced instruments. Lisa could not seem to calm down and her body began to twitch again. Three seconds later, her eyes widened once again and her hands fell to her sides limply. She stopped moving and there was complete silence. Even her gasps were gone. Eli and Natalie looked at each other. Natalie then looked at Stephen apologetically, "She's dead." Steph
Natalie Wheeler noticed that rest of the people in the room were all looking at her. If she followed him, it would seem as though there was something fishy between her and Jasper. However, if she did not follow him, it would make people think that there was indeed something fishy between her and Jasper. "Don't go," Eli Wayne advised Natalie. Natalie nodded and said, "I don't think I have anything to discuss with him either. Everyone, let's move Olivia and Lisa to the bed." "Miss Wheeler, could I please talk to you alone?" Hale Summer also asked. "Okay." Eli held Natalie's hand worriedly, "You'll be fine, right?" "Mm," Natalie said with certainty. She turned on the flashlight on her mobile phone and followed Hale to the back of the villa. "I want to leave with Jasper this time. I don't want to hide anymore. What do you think?" Hale asked Natalie. "Actually, I have always known that you were not the spy even before Bettany appea
Jasper's conditions were really tempting. Not only would she able to take care of her own child, but she would be able to get Eli Wayne out of Sean's control too. Eli had helped her too much, so she should not drag her down anymore, "Okay, I'll take good care of your child, Sir." Sir? "Ha," Jasper Milton chuckled and he looked at her as if he was deep in thought. He still remembered that she had acted that way too when they were just mere acquaintances back then. She would either refer to him as Chief or Mr. Milton. She would address him respectfully, either intentionally or unintentionally, in order to keep a distance between them. That left him with a strong sense of alienation. Natalie Wheeler did not know why he was smiling. What was so funny about her words? Furthermore, his chuckle was filled with mockery and she felt a little uncomfortable. "Well, Mr. Milton, I shall head back first then. I'll leave the matter with Stephen in
Jasper Milton frowned even more. He stepped forward and held Stephen's arm. Before he could say anything, Stephen said anxiously, "Well, she said that I shouldn't tell anyone about her crying. I've already told you, so we should be even now." "That's not what I wanted to talk about," Jasper said in a low voice. "Then what's the matter? You're scaring me. When you get angry, it feels like even the earth is quaking," Stephen said whilst panting. "Natalie and her friends came to see you, hoping that you can be their lobbyist." Jasper explained. "Don't worry. First come first serve. Since I've promised you and you've done what I asked you to do, I'll definitely help you. I won't break my promise," Stephen said, patting his chest. "I want you to help her." After saying that, Jasper loosened his grip. Stephen looked at Jasper and asked in confusion, "This could increase your yearly income by a few hundred millions. How could you hand such an opportun
Natalie Wheeler got up quietly. The study room was not an en suite, so she had to go out and wash up at the common bathroom. She opened the door. Jasper Milton was standing at the door. He looked at her deeply. Natalie was startled. Jasper handed her two sets of disposable dental kits. Natalie looked at the toiletries in his hand and had a strange feeling in her heart. These things should have been given to her by Stephen, right? "Did you bring your own toiletries?" Jasper was a little impatient when he saw that she didn't take it. Natalie listened to his deep voice, which sounded like the final echo of a cello. In such a peaceful environment, it sounded like the sound of nature. She took it and said respectfully, "Thank you, Mr. Milton." "Since you have officially been hired to become my children's tutor, you are now a part of my family. There's no need to be so formal," Jasper then turned around. He was always cool, st
He looked at her deeply, his tone commanding. He did not give her any room to refuse at all, as if he had something important to announce. Natalie Wheeler hesitated. After all, it was he who asked Stephen to help Eli, so she would definitely meet him again in the future. He was her boss, so she didn't want to make things messy between them. "Mr. Milton, what's the matter?" Natalie asked with a good temper. "Mm." Jasper answered in a low voice and looked at her deeply, "It's not really convenient to talk here. Come with me." He got up, put his hands in his pockets, and walked straight out of the door. "How rude! Natalie, don't go," Eli Wayne said unhappily, holding Natalie's hand. "I'll take a look at what's going on. I'll be gone ten minutes at most, wait for me." Natalie replied to Eli and looked at Allen, "Could you please wait for me for ten minutes?" Allen nodded with a smile, "Call me if you need anything, I'm always here for you."
The boat reached the shore at 11:50 a.m., and it brought a signal transmitter, a new generator, flowers, priests, and the police. The police took statements from the witnesses in the study room and arrested Rachel. Allen felt a little depressed after coming out of the study. Natalie Wheeler walked up to him and asked, "Are you okay?" "Natalie, Stephen is my friend, so I can't leave the island for the time being. Are you willing to stay here with me?" Allen said euphemistically. Natalie nodded. Stephen might be Eli's future business partner, and it was not appropriate for Eli to leave at this time too. If Eli didn't leave, she naturally wouldn't leave either. Allen smiled lightly and held Natalie's hand, "Are you hungry? Let's eat something first. We may be a little busy in the afternoon." "Okay." As soon as Natalie turned around, she realized that Jasper was standing behind her with only a few centimeters away. He was so close that she a
"I miss days like this." Jasper Milton took a crab and peeled it off. Then, he blew on the crab. Natalie didn't expect that he would come here so suddenly. She picked up the crab which she had grilled in an attempt to look unfazed. Her heart was beating so fast that she couldn't seem to bear it. She licked her dry lips and said, "Uh..." She merely hummed, not knowing what to say. She knew what he meant. However, those who didn't know him wouldn't have known that he had lived on an isolated island before. Thus, they naturally wouldn't understand what he meant too. She wanted to stand in the shoes of someone who didn't know of his past, but she was too nervous. Her mind seemed to be knotted, and she couldn't say anything. Jasper looked at her. She felt his gaze and she lowered her head, fiddling with the crab to hide her panic. Jasper chuckled, "Do you know how to make distilled water?" "I learned it from textbooks before." "Have you
The bullet pierced through his chest, and blood dyed Joseph's silver coat red immediately. "Joseph!" Waverly's eyes were bloodshot, and her roaring voice was choked. He looked at her, and wanted to smile, but he didn't have the energy to do so. He fell a few steps back, and leaned against the window. The sea breeze tousled his hair into a mess. "Let go of me!" Waverly struggled, but they were too strong and she couldn't escape. "Push him down, and make sure he dies," said the person who was holding Waverly captive. "No!" Waverly yelled, but her efforts were futile. They walked up to Joseph and pushed him down the window ruthlessly. She screamed, "Joseph Mccarthy!" The person who was grabbing Waverly released her all of a sudden, and she rushed to the window as fast as lightning. Then, she jumped into the sea without hesitation. Joseph had been shot, and his blood diffused into the sea rapidly. Waverly dived into the red pool of blo
Boris asked, "What's the solution?" Breddy answered, "We'll have to make her take the initiative to face it." Boris sighed, "That's easier said than done." Shaking his head, Breddy replied, "It's not too hard. You said it yourself that she's a kind person. She would even help a complete stranger, so what makes you think she won't save a person that's extremely important to her?" Boris was stunned. Breddy continued, "If this person was heavily injured for her, she would realize that there's someone in this world who still loves her, and she'll naturally want to stay in this world for a little longer. By then, she'll be willing to open up her heart." Boris took a pause, and said, "But who is this person?" To the Waverly Martell of the past, Bellamy was everything to her. However, at present, he was nothing. She cared about everyone, but she refused to let others care about her. It seemed as if she had already merged into the world, but th
Waverly frowned and looked at Breddy's left hand. She saw as he put the coin in his left hand, "What if I want you to jump off the top floor?" "Then I'll jump right down." Breddy said affirmatively. He raised his smile and looked incredibly confident. His character was like the calm deep blue sea, vast and far-reaching, which made her feel at ease. Waverly's eyes once again fell on his left hand. "Believe in what you've seen. Things aren't as complicated as they seem. It's just that simple," Breddy reminded her. Waverly pointed at his left hand. As expected, the coin was in the palm of his hand when he opened it. "You won. What do you want me to do?" asked Breddy. Waverly looked coldly at the man in front of her. She would even save a stranger whom she didn't know, so how could she ask Breddy, who was treating her, to seek death? She had no idea why, but judging by his self-confidence, he seemed like he was playing house with
Waverly hesitated. "Just talk to the psychiatrist. Perhaps he would give you new ideas and inspirations. Didn't we agree that will be better for our future?" Boris encouraged her. "We are leaving tomorrow. We might not have time. Thank you for your kindness," Waverly said. "I have made an appointment at ten o'clock in the evening in the hotel. He will come to the hotel," Boris said. "Y-you have arranged an appointment for me today?" Waverly had an unspeakable strange feeling in her heart. Even after knowing the death of his girlfriend, Boris could still call a psychiatrist for her. Did he do so out of friendship, generosity or because he pitied her? "My girlfriend said that she wanted me to do my best to help others on her behalf," Boris said with a smile. "The heavens must have summoned her back to be an angel," Waverly comforted Boris. "I think so too." It was night. Waverly ate a little, took a shower, stayed in the r
Cadwell looked at the files in his hand. They were very thick. He flipped through them briefly. There were twelve pages in it. The files talked about a lot about the nation's history, analyzing the cause, the process, and the result of those incidents. It also explained a few things regarding Queen Danina and Prince Caesar. It analyzed their personalities and gave a prediction on what the future would be like. The analysis was flawless. Every word was written in perfect unison. He could prepare himself in times of danger, so he could exert the right amount of pressure when needed. Furthermore, she had given him two plans, one of which was to work with her and expand his diplomatic power in M Country. She represented the Mccarthy family and also the highest level of weapons. Of course, if he did not feel that such a cooperation was necessary, they would still maintain a good relationship. After all, there was no hatred between him and the Mccarthy family. He woul
"I was wrong. I've realized deeply that I was in the wrong. I should bad-mouth you rather than Madam. Mr. Mccarthy, I should offend you rather than offend Madam," Yadriel lowered his head and said in a low tone. Joseph stood up and walked up to him, "You feel wronged?" "I feel wronged on your behalf." Yadriel's eyes were red as he said, "Mr. Mccarthy, I know very well that even though you've treated her so well, she has never treated you fairly. As soon as Bellamy went to find her, she threw everything away. She didn't even want the title of Peace Lady and was willing to follow Bellamy again. Does she know how much effort, energy and time you've spent in order to earn the title of Peace Lady for her?" "She likes Bellamy, so naturally she doesn't need to think about what's fair or not with him," Joseph said clearly. "If so, why are you treating her so well?" Yadriel didn't understand Joseph's actions. "You're my best friend," Joseph said with sadness in his
Waverly sat down on the sofa, "How's your relationship with Madam Lenny?" "Oh, Madam Lenny has an excellent relationship with Queen Danina. In the past, I even had a meal with Queen Danina with her help," Thomas said. "Do you know why the relationship between her and Queen Danina is so good?" Waverly asked. "I can only say that Madam Lenny has brilliant judgement. In addition to that, she's quite capable. When Queen Danina wasn't a queen yet, they were already close friends." "Perhaps Madam Lenny invested quite a bit of effort in making Queen Danina the queen. Thus, their friendship is incredibly firm and unshakable. At the moment, Prince Caesar is one of the most popular heirs to the throne. Once he becomes king, perhaps Madam Lenny's status will become even more unwavering." "Besides that, according to what I know, Madam Lenny has a strong relationship with many other countries. If those strong countries join forces, then there's no way to break through
"When my friend sent me the video, I asked him to delete it immediately. I came here with a lot of sincerity. Since you've said so, I suppose we don't have to talk about the agreement anymore. I will leave Mexiland in a moment. I'd better not interfere with your business, lest I offend both parties," Waverly said coldly. "Who is your friend? If you don't tell me, I can only treat you as one of them. If you want to leave Mexiland, it won't be that easy," Thomas warned. "Joseph. It was Joseph who gave me the video," Waverly said and hung up. The phone rang with another call from Thomas. Waverly answered and her tone was impatient as she said, "Is there anything else?" "Why did Joseph do that? I don't have anything against him," Thomas didn't understand. "What he wants must be done. If you don't understand him, you can ask your friends about him. I have already told him not to do this, but you insisted on beating around the bush. According to my underst
Agnes smiled, "Okay." "Go rest," Waverly said and slowly closed the door. She stood by the window and looked at the traffic downstairs. Truth be told, she was quite far away and the road was so dark that she couldn't see much with her naked eyes. At most, she could feel the cars rushing by with their bright lights switched on. She wondered where the people in the cars were rushing to. Were they going home or going out to have fun? Did they have desires in their hearts or were they lost in pretense and living like a walking corpse, interacting with people every day? At the moment, she had no other choice but to march forward bravely. She didn't want to go back. She picked up her phone and blocked Bellamy's phone number with a cold and emotionless gaze. It was as if a huge weight had been lifted from her heart and she felt much more relaxed. She threw her phone on the bed and went to the bathroom to take a bath. After bathing, she laid on t
