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
Natalie sat in the front row of the public gallery and clearly saw that Oliver's expression remained unchanged, with a faint glimmer in his eyes that never left Henry even for a moment.Natalie couldn't help but imagine the pain of sending one's own father to prison.After living with Oliver for nearly six months, Natalie learned he wasn't truly heartless."This is unfair, I won't accept it!" Noah suddenly lost control. She shouted, "It was Oliver who killed someone! Why is he being released without charges while my grandfather is being arrested? My mommy was killed, and you haven't caught the culprit, yet you let Oliver go and sentence my mommy! Are the courts colluding with Oliver? I'll sue you! You're unfair, you're covering up!""Outrageous!" the judge sternly exclaimed. "If you have any grievances, you can provide compelling evidence and appeal. The court is absolutely fair and just. How can you insult the court? How can you question the fairness of the law
The journalist couldn't help but purse her lips, realizing her plan had backfired.Roger looked at Natalie with proud and doting eyes.He was proud of his little princess's fighting spirit and was willing to protect her at any cost."Miss Watson, would you mind revealing the purpose of your presence at the trial today? It's difficult to obtain the qualifications for observing the trial. How did you manage it? Can you disclose who your husband is?" This time, the journalist's approach softened significantly.She belonged to a strong media company. When she asked her questions, the other reporters remained silent, eagerly awaiting Natalie's response."She came to see me."Just then, a cold and indifferent voice caught everyone's attention.The journalists turned their heads to see who the person was."Who's that? He's so handsome, is he a new rising star?""Is he from a wealthy family?""This person looks somewhat familiar..."Twelve bodygua
