The problem lies not in Oliver being too calm and composed, but rather in how smoothly this whole trap has been set; simultaneously, Oliver's trusted subordinates and brothers have all lost contact.Everything happened after Oliver "got into trouble," which seems incredibly coincidental.Oliver is definitely not the type to sit and wait for death. Even if he can ensure his innocence, in a cunning and ruthless family like this, he should at least hire a top-notch lawyer to assist him.Let's think from a different perspective.What if Oliver is actually the one in control of the situation?What is his purpose behind all of this?Natalie doesn't have enough information to make a valid judgment at the moment.Perhaps, only Oliver himself, the person involved, knows what he has done and what his intentions are.As Natalie walked along, she suddenly realized something—she had been worried and anxious inside, blurting out all sorts of things. Could it be that Oliver, that jerk, was intention
Lilian squatted on the carpet and kept crying. Her shoulders shuddered, and tears were falling down from her eyes like beads.Lucas awkwardly wiped his nose, feeling a bit of a headache coming on.Why is she crying again? Did he really scare her?"Don't cry... I'm Natalie's younger brother. My sister asked me to look after you. That girlfriend comment was a joke. I'm not interested in someone underage like you," he explained, slightly softening his voice.The young girl on the floor looked up, her tearful eyes glaring at him. "I'm of age! In my country, I'm considered an adult at 16!"Lilian wiped away her tears, still squatting on the floor. When she stood up, she felt a bit dizzy. She swayed before regaining her balance and pushed him away with her hand."I want to go find my cousin. Don't stand in my way. I'm not familiar with Natalie, and she has no right to control me. Move!"Initially, Lucas thought this "little penguin" was a bit cute, but when he heard her say she didn't recog
Under normal circumstances, Lilian would have found fault with this dish, deeming it not delicate enough, which would ruin her appetite. But now, she just wanted to sit down immediately and eat until she was full!The shrimp meat was both fragrant and glutinous, and the tangy and sweet soup permeated every corner of her mouth, causing her taste buds to salivate continuously, giving her the utmost culinary satisfaction.Her appetite soared, and she couldn't stop eating!"Did you make this? It's amazing!" Lilian exclaimed after taking three bites."I didn't make it. Did you think I conjured it out of thin air?" Lucas knocked on the table, urging her, "Eat quickly, or it will get cold and taste fishy."The little girl was lively when doing things, but she showed good manners while eating."Oh," Lilian obediently responded.After a while, she asked again, "Where did you learn to make this? It's so good! I want to learn too."Lucas smirked, "My sister taught me. It's a secret recipe. You'r
Natalie didn't call him, so Lucas listened to his sister and kept an eye on Lilian."Shouldn't you go back now? It's almost ten o'clock, and there's only one bed in my house." Lilian hoped that Lucas would leave so she could go find her cousin."Who said I was going back?" Lucas sat boldly on the sofa, staring at Lilian.With his crew cut and a somewhat rogue demeanor, Lilian felt that this person was particularly fierce. Clearly, he wasn't a decent person!Lilian crossed her arms over her chest, watching him warily. "What are you trying to do? You can't bully me! I warn you, if you bully me, Natalie won't let you off!"Lucas had no such intention. He just wanted to lie down on the sofa. Wasn't it obvious that he intended to sleep there?Lilian's reaction, however, only piqued Lucas's interest.He leisurely stood up and walked toward Lilian.Lilian watched him as if facing a formidable enemy. Every time he took a step forward, she took a step back."Don't come any closer! I won't acce
Lucas, still half-asleep, with a dull expression on his face, walked over and tore off the duct tape from one of the men's mouths. He gave the man a kick. The man woke up from the kick, looking completely dejected, as if he had been tormented all night. "Tell me, what are you doing here?" Lucas asked, although he had already guessed their intentions. Staring at Lilian at such a critical moment, it was clearly not a coincidence. "We were hired to kidnap this woman." The man pointed to Lilian with his chin. Lilian had been immersed in Lucas's voice, which was usually pleasant to listen to. But now, just after waking up, his voice deep and a little hoarse, it carried a different kind of sexiness. It made Lilian's ears tingle. It was only when the kidnapper mentioned "this woman" that she snapped back to reality. "Why kidnap me?" Lilian didn't understand.Lucas kicked again. "Be honest, or I'll take off your last pair of pants and experiment with the effects of castration."The kidna
Lucas yawned and sluggishly got up, heading into the kitchen.After a while, he came out with a steaming bowl of egg noodles.There were only a few ingredients in the kitchen that could be used to cook a proper meal."Go ahead and eat." He placed the noodles on the dining table and walked back to the sofa. "Don't disturb me, or I'll make you cry!""...Oh." Lilian looked at the steaming noodles with a golden-fried sunny-side-up egg on top.Having noodles to eat made her ecstatic!"Hey! Just one more thing!" Lilian quickly spoke, afraid of being scolded. "You can sleep on my bed. It's big and has blankets. If you close the door, you won't even hear the sound of me eating!"In reality, there wasn't much sound when Lilian ate. She ate in small bites with impeccable table manners. However, the spacious bed and blankets were quite enticing.There was no reason to refuse such a suggestion.When Lucas lay down on Lilian's bed, his body stiffened, feeling discomfort all over.The girl's bed wa
Natalie licked her lips and honestly replied, "A little bit."She took off her hat and placed it on her knee, revealing her full forehead and delicate features.Even though the courtroom was full of elites, her face stood out especially. Many people secretly glanced at Natalie and Roger. He was, after all, a prominent foreign figure."Who is the lady next to Mr. Wild? I didn't know Mr. Wild had a wife," a financial journalist quietly asked a colleague. The marriage of a business tycoon was worth paying attention to. It might be a powerful business partnership that could directly influence the economic market layout."That's not Roger's wife. Her name is Natalie, she's a model. She's already married, but there were rumors about their relationship before. However, Roger personally clarified that it isn't true," the colleague replied in a low voice.“I see.” The financial journalist continued to observe them secretly. "But wait, from a man's perspective, the way Mr. Wild looks at Natalie
"At that time, there were three of us who testified that Mrs. Madison committed suicide, that it wasn't murder. The other two individuals died suddenly. I don't know how it happened, but I should have died too. In the middle of winter, I was pushed into the icy lake, and the freezing water made my limbs lose sensation instantly. However, I was fortunate enough to be saved by Mr. Windsor's people."To repay the debt of saving his life, Jaxon agreed to serve Oliver.The implication behind Jaxon's words was all too clear. "The sudden deaths" of two individuals couldn't be a coincidence; they were definitely murdered. Even his own incident of being pushed into icy water during winter was not accidental. Everything pointed to Henry."You're lying! My grandfather would never do such a thing!" Noah jumped up from the spectator's seat, pointing at Jaxon with anger."Jaxon, you bastard! I've trusted you all these years!" Henry slammed the table in anger. "Your Honor, he must
