"I did some research on this. The incense was completely burnt. Anyone who entered the room could smell the fragrance, but it did not affect them. I suspect that the fragrance must have been infused with the content of the wine! Someone must have spiked the wine. If someone caught a whiff of the fragrance or consumed the wine on its own, nothing would happen. However, when the two were combined, it would create a chemical reaction that could knock someone unconscious!""Does this mean this was a plot?" William must have been a target for quite some time."They looked at each other, then Alex nodded in agreement. Right then, they arrived at William's ward. Alex pushed the door open and dismissed all the nurses in the ward. Then, he stood guard at the door.After entering the room, Kevin sat down beside the bed and asked, "How are you feeling?"William was lying on the bed. His face was a little pale. He was weak. "I'm fine! Kevin, about the...""I know! I've already asked someone to fi
"Besides, don't both of your wives look exactly like the Wilson family's daughter in the headlines recently?" How could they be this oblivious?The two men were lying on the ground, and their faces were ghastly. Both of the men picked up their phones and muttered at the same time."Her first time?""It's her first time...."They both spoke at the same time."She was so gentle...""She was so considerate..."The man waved his hand."Come on, guys!! If she did not coax you, do you think she will be able to take all of your assets? One look at the eldest daughter of the Wilson family, and you would know that she's a con artist! Have both of you been living under a rock? Don't you know that these things can be fabricated? You guys have tried searching all over for them for a few years. The two of you have suffered a lot all these years. Aren't you guys tired? Why don't you call the police?" He asked."How could it be? I have a marriage certificate!""So do I!"When the man saw how dumbfou
Rose could sense her fear. When she saw the red mark on her face, she could imagine how hard the slap was. She was somewhat shocked instantly. She only looked at Kevin and subconsciously clenched his hand, but did not make a sound.His eyes suddenly darkened. A moment later, he said, "I accept your resignation! Everything ends here!"Peace looked up. There were tears in her eyes, but there was a faint smile on her lips. She bowed and spoke."Thank you, Mr. Davis! Thank you, Miss Reed!"After that, she turned around and strode over to the elevator.As soon as the elevator doors closed, Kevin looked at this secretary, Doris, and said, "Blacklist her!""Yes, Mr. Davis!""I want you to help Rose with her off-boarding procedures! Once it's done, bring it over to me!"After giving the order, he pulled Rose into his office. As soon as they sat down, his phone rang. Scarlett was calling to invite him out for lunch!He thought about it for a while and decided to accept her invitation, "Okay, I
Kevin slowly turned around and looked straight at her as he spoke."Scarlett, painting is your hobby and your dream. Produced artwork is the blood and sweat of a painter. Every single painting is like a baby, and it should be treated with care! You said painters can express themselves through their work! How did you treat your artwork previously? How about now? Ask yourself honestly, are you living up to your own words? Are you using your painting to express your true feelings? If the answer is no, then you have let me down!"The color drained from Scarlett's face, and her head was buzzing. She stumbled twice, and her body started to tremble a little.Was he referring to the imitated painting?Her mind was in a mess. She wasn't sure how she was going to explain it to him. However, he changed the subject and asked, "Have you ever wondered how our relationship had gotten to this point?"Time stood still at that moment. They looked at each other and did not speak for a long time.After a
After parting ways with Scarlett, Frank was busy on the phone. He was preparing his funds as he walked toward his broker's office.He was a little anxious as soon as he closed the door. He asked, "Mr. Ethan, have you heard of the Ocean Trading Group? Can you help me take a look at their share price?"Mr. Ethan poured him a cup of water and said while searching, "Mr. Follan, you mentioned the Ocean Trading Group, right? Which one? 009036 or 004675?"It existed!Frank hurriedly stood up and said, "The first one. How does the trend look for this stock?""The Ocean Trading Group Gold Trading is a relatively famous logistics company. Judging by its stock trend, it's doing pretty well. They have several subsidiaries, especially shipping companies. They are even listed on the US stock market! However, the economy during the past two years hasn't been stable, and the logistics sector has been affected! There recently have been rumors about the Ocean Trading Group entering a deal with a big co
Rose quickly replied, "I am currently having some tea. I miss you, your praises, and your sweet talk..." She sent the message along with a few shy emojis.When Kevin saw her reply, he could imagine her cute face as she rested her head on the table. Perhaps, she was finally glad to be back at JTM Translation Services. That was where she truly belonged!He could feel the change in her mood, and a smile appeared on his lips."I have a dinner to attend tonight! You have to make sure to eat your dinner. You can even go to your mom's place. You have to take care of yourself. Don't skip dinner!"She giggled as she felt all warm and fuzzy inside."I will! I'll be good! You have to take care of yourself as well! Come back early. I will be waiting for you!"Though their text exchanges were brief, it was essential for them to text. As soon as they put away their phones, both of them felt physically and mentally relaxed. Both were suddenly in a good mood.When the bell rang to signal the end of t
When Kevin came through the door, he found Rose in a daze, curled up on the couch. Her clothes were too thin, and her long hair was scattered everywhere. She looked rather lonely.He found a robe. He walked towards her as he frowned, "Why didn't you wear something thicker?"He reached out to touch her arm, and it was cold. Then, he pulled her into his arms and rubbed her arms as he draped the robe over her shoulder. He then carefully examined the wound on her back."You can't even take care of yourself!"She did not feel cold initially. Now that she was in his arms, all she could feel was warmth. She took a glance at the clock and realized that it wasn't even 9:30 pm. She could not help but smile."What is this?" She asked."Crab roll! It's pretty delicious. Before I left, I ordered a portion and brought it back for you! It's best eaten fresh. Try it!"He remembered how much she loved crab, so he was sure she would love it.The strong aroma of the food awoke her appetite. Coincidental
"I will never leave you; it's just a precaution! I'm serious. I want you to remember this promise forever and engrave it in your heart! You have no idea how scared I am of losing you! I love you more than words could say! I am afraid that I might say something I don't mean when I am angry one day. I am afraid that I might unintentionally hurt you! I am afraid that I will lose you forever!"He had been separated from her by the doors of the operating room. The last time, she was nearly on the verge of death. Every time Kevin thought of this, he would feel a sudden fear rise in his heart!Rose always knew he wasn't an expressive man. This was the first time. When she heard what he said, her heart was soaring. Then, she nodded eagerly. She did not like this pessimistic atmosphere. She deliberately poked at him and dallied for a while. Then she changed the topic."Kevin, why do you restrict me? Does it mean I have to say a word ten times in order to express my determination? I..."As soon
Just like that one month had passed. In this one month, Kevin had worked non-stop. The next month he and Rose were getting married. Before their marriage, Kevin had decided to finish all his two months of work, because he had promised Rose that he would take her on vacation.In the Star International CEO’s office…Kevin sat behind on his chair and was busy looking at the documents in his hand and when Daniel knocked on the door and came inside…Daniel walked to the coffee machine made two cups of coffee and gave one to Kevin. Then he sat on the opposite chair.Kevin finished reading the file in his hand, signed his name, and put it down. He picked up the cup of coffee and asked…“How are the things I asked you to do?” Kevin took a sip of the coffee and asked.“I have dealt with everything as you said. The Follen Group all shares fell after the news of Mr. Follen being involved in money laundering and Tax evasion came to the light. After the investigation, Mr. Follen was sent to jail a
Just like that, with the help of that man, she shot that video.After hearing everything, Rose's eyes widened in shock. Because in the video lights were dim she wasn’t able to see clearly. What’s more men’s eyes were closed and because of the panic in her heart, she didn’t think too much and came here…“Since I have told you everything, I hope you can rest in peace after your death,” Lucy said as she stood up from her chair and was about to go out.However, she stopped and looked back at her. “Oops, I forget to tell you something very important. You are not going to die hare alone, so don’t be sad. Because your husband will also be going to accompany you.”“What do you mean?” She asked.“It’s like, in another ten minutes Kevin will be here to save you. However, as long as he opened the door, the bomb under your chair will be activated and BOOM!”“Okay, now I am get going, because your husband will be here soon.” After Lucy finished speaking, she picked up her bag and left.Before leav
The man in the photo was the person who had drugged Rose's father. Kevin had been looking for this man for a long time, however before he could catch him he had already left the C city.That’s why it takes so much time for him to find him. However, after finding out about the person behind all this, he was very disappointed. He had some idea, but after finding out that the person was Scarlett, he felt a little sad in his heart.After all, they have so many good memories together and even if they are no longer with each other, he still hopes that both of them can live their lives happily.“Scarlett, I had given you so many chances in the past, because I always respected our friendship… However, this time you had hurt the person who was very important to me… I will never forgive you…” Kevin said calmly.Kevin knows that for Rose her parents are very important in her life. All these years she had worked so hard to save her father. This time if something happened to her father, he can’t e
Kevin looked at Rose who was eating happily and asked, “I can understand everything, but I can’t understand one thing.”“What is it?” Rose asked.“How did I still able to win the bid?” He asked.“Oh, that… Because, I gave them a USB drive with filled with virus. As long as they opened it, all the data inside was destroyed.”Rose said. However, she was only able to do all this, with the help of Stella. Rose was very grateful to her. If she didn’t help her, she didn’t know whom to ask. It was also the reason, Rose sent her parents abroad, because she was afraid that once, that person found out that she had given him a USB filled with a virus, he would attack her parents again.Kevin nodded. After the both of them, finished eating, Rose washed the dishes and looked at Kevin who was still sitting on the sofa. “Why are you not leaving?” She asked.“I am not going anywhere. Because there is also another reason why I came here today.” Kevin said.“What other reason?” Rose asked, as she walke
After he finished speaking, he went inside. Kevin put the things in his hand on the table and looked at Rose, who was also walking over after closing the door.Kevin went forward and hugged her tightly. He buried his head in her shoulder and said, “I miss you so much.”Rose smiled and patted on his back. “Let me go, I am very hungry. Let’s eat something first.” She said.The person she asked to deliver food was none other than, but Kevin. Kevin nodded and let her go. After that, both of them, sat down to eat. Looking at her favorite food, Rose smiled and started to eat happily.As she was eating, she thought something and asked, “How are the things going on? Do you find the person behind all this?”Kevin looked up at her and said, “"Yes that man is Sebastain Davis, who installed that motoring device in your phone.""Sebastain Davis?" Hearing this name, Rose finally understands everything... "So it was him who did this. No wonder I didn't find out anything.""Don't worry, it will not l
Looking at the group of people who were condemning and glaring at her, Rose suddenly understood.It turned out that this was the real purpose of this trap! To let Kevin and even the whole Davis family witness her betrayal of him with their own eyes. It was to turn her family against her and completely break the relationship between the two!As her eyes fell on Scarlett and the middle-aged man, Rose concluded. "What a coincidence! This matter must have something to do with her!" Rose thought to herself.When she was still sorting out her thoughts, Lucy had already rushed over in anger. She looked at the computer for a few seconds, then she shouted."I saw you entering the hotel with a man sneakily. I thought that you were having an affair. It turned out that you had stolen something. Has the Davis family done you any wrong? You actually stole Star International's trade secrets in exchange for fifty million dollars? What is this? The bidding proposal for the west city!"She kept yelling
By the time Kevin came back, it was almost midnight, but Rose was still on the sofa. As soon as she saw him, she got up and ran up to him."Hubby, is dad alright? Is there anything wrong?"Rose took his coat and hung it up. She also took a set of clothes for him to change into and said, "You must be tired! Are you hungry? Let me make you supper. Go and take a shower first!"Seeing that he had returned, everything should be fine now. Just when Rose was about to move, Kevin held her waist."It's fine, I'm not hungry! Dad's fine now. We don't know what he ate that suddenly shot up his blood pressure, but he's stable now. It's already so late, why haven't you slept? Is there anything urgent that I need to know?""No! It's good that he's fine! I just wanted to wait for you to come back. I wouldn't feel at ease if I didn't know what's going on! As for my matter, let's talk about it next time. Quick, go take a shower and rest!"Pushing him into the bathroom, Rose quickly tidied up the bed an
"Then don't let him enter the third round!"He threw the list aside and said in a low voice, "Let's see how he can stir up trouble if he can't enter! By the way, do you think... there is anything wrong with the bidding in Western City this time?"“Okay.” Daniel said and was about to leave… However, he stopped and said…"Don't forget that you've made an appointment with Director Sander for dinner at Sky Water Hotel this evening!" Daniel reminded him when he saw that he was very disturbed and left!Kevin sat there for a while, moving away.****That evening, Rose went to Sky Water Hotel as instructed. In the room, she saw the so-called bidding document, it was a USB drive. The staff said that the room was booked online, but the customer was anonymous, so Rose didn't ask for more details. Although this person prepared everything so meticulously and carefully, even if she found out who put it there, the person must be someone insignificant!At that moment, Rose was not in a hurry to find
Rose accompanied her dad the whole way, and only turned her attention to Grayson when she went back to the office. Grayson gave her a cup of water."Don't worry, the results need some time to be released! Now, tell me, what is going on?" He asked."I'm not hiding anything. It is exactly as what I have told you! I don't know what is going on either..."Rose felt helpless, and her anxiety was obvious. Except for the part where she needed the proposal to exchange for the cure, she confessed everything.While they were speaking, a nurse sent in the reports to them.After closing the door, Rose asked anxiously, "How is it? What exactly is the issue?""From the films and the results, so far everything is normal! However, something... unknown is found in his bloodstream!"Because it was listed as a private and confidential matter, this report was not saved. It was specially labelled and the doctors filled in the report according to what he had given."Something unknown?" Rose muttered, her v
