"Oh, where is she? I'll take a taxi right away," said Flora, not expecting that the girl would be with Mark. This was Chloe's habit, she was determined not to let men accompany her home, no matter how drunk she was!"At the Lulu Bar near the company, Room 303.""Okay, you wait there, I'll go right now," Flora said, quickly hanging up the phone. Turning to Linda, she said, "You can go to sleep, I'll go and bring that girl back.""I'll go with you," Linda sat up from the bed, rubbing her eyes.Flora shook her head indifferently, "No need, I can go by myself, it's not very far.""You're pregnant now, your status is different, for safety's sake, let me accompany you," Linda said while changing clothes.Flora didn't insist anymore, and so after changing clothes, the two of them quietly slipped out of the house without disturbing Auntie Grace.In the study of the Smith Family mansion, Maxwell stared at the softly creaking door with a frown. It was the woman he didn't want to see again! Just
Sitting in the taxi, Linda occasionally looked back and tugged Flora's sleeve, whispering, "Hey, Flora, I feel like someone is following us."Flora turned her head after hearing her words and glanced at the cars behind them, laughing playfully, "No way, you're just overthinking, aren't you still half asleep?"Ignoring her teasing, Linda said, "I saw that black car when we left the village earlier, and it's still there now."The driver in front suddenly chuckled, "It's normal to have someone following when you're beautiful. Let me help you get rid of them." As he spoke, he stepped on the gas pedal, maneuvering the car out of the traffic and forcefully merging into another lane.The car following behind didn't expect the sudden maneuver from the driver and drove past them.Seeing this, Linda clapped her hands and exclaimed, "Well, Mr. Driver, you're amazing! You got rid of them in an instant.""Of course, do you know how many years I've been driving a taxi?" The driver was delighted by
Flora was thrown back onto the soft seat by the force of inertia. The man's body was covered in a sea of red, spreading towards her feet. Screams instantly overflowed from her mouth, breaking through the night sky, and echoing in this silent suburb.Flora was stunned. The sound of the bullet shattering the glass reverberated in her mind, while the overwhelming red liquid stimulated her vision. She suddenly felt her chest being crushed, unable to catch her breath, and she leaned over the seat, dry heaving.After several seconds of silence, the car door was suddenly pulled open, and a flat voice sounded above her head, "Get out!"This voice... Flora trembled in fear, looked up, and saw Maxwell's cruel and handsome face amidst the darkness. He was dressed in all black, with nothing in his hands, yet he easily took the lives of two people.Flora's body involuntarily shrunk inward, as if afraid that the next one to fall in a pool of blood would be herself. This kind of death was terrifying
At the moment the door was pushed open, Maxwell's sharp gaze instinctively sharpened, focusing on her as if she were a dangerous intruder. Maxwell sat behind the desk with his eyes fixed on her, repeatedly cleaning the gun in his hand with a cloth, making it shine.Upon seeing her, Maxwell's sharp gaze softened with a tinge of guilt, no longer as terrifyingly wary. Flora's face turned pale at the sight of the gun in his hand. The sound of a bullet-shattering glass echoed in her ears once again, a sound that seemed to come from another world, mixed with ominous significance, instantly claiming the souls of those two men!She hadn't even had a chance to see how he had fired the gun. This man, she truly had to doubt whether he was even human! How could a normal person possess such astonishing skill? How could he appear so calm after killing them?Flora's body trembled uncontrollably. It was difficult to imagine that after angering him so many times, she was still alive in this world. It
"Damn it! I don't hate you anymore, okay?!" Maxwell suddenly yelled, regretting his words instantly. He lowered his head, avoiding Flora's inquisitive gaze, feeling uneasy."You don't hate me anymore? Why?" Flora's train of thought was suddenly diverted to this topic, and she felt a little ecstatic. Could it be that her expectations had come true? Was he unwilling to let her die?"I've changed from hatred to annoyance. Seeing you just annoys me!" Maxwell said with an unchanged expression. This should help salvage the slip of his tongue earlier. Seeing her sudden change in expression, he could tell that it was quite effective.Seeing her unpredictable face, Maxwell couldn't help but want to strike her, "I saved you just so I can use you to stay by Kevin's side and help me do things. Do you think I saved you because I can't bear to let you die?"Hmm, he had never spoken such a smooth lie before! It seemed that his spoken English had improved. When it came to telling big lies, not only d
In just twenty minutes, the clothes arrived. They were high-end international brands. Flora happily put them on. The dress fit her well and looked beautiful. What made her even happier was that there was no trace of Miss Chiyoko's presence on the clothes, so she didn't feel awkward."Have you seen enough? If you have, let's go out for breakfast." Maxwell urged her.Breakfast? Flora was indeed hungry, but she still timidly asked with an empty stomach, "You killed someone yesterday and now you're flaunting it everywhere. Isn't that a bad idea? If caught, it's a capital offense!""If you have the leisure to worry about that, you should worry more about yourself. Don't wander around like you did last night at such a late hour." Maxwell sneered, then took the car keys and walked towards the door. After a few steps, he turned back and stared at her, saying, "Also, I advise you to forget about what happened last night and never mention I killed someone.""Oh." Flora covered her mouth, "Loose
"Flora, what's wrong with you? Why are you staring blankly?" Auntie Grace looked at Flora who was lost in thought, and then took the newspaper from her hands, saying, "Forget it, you're pregnant. It's better not to look at such cruel images. It affects your mood."Flora stared at her empty hands and let out another bitter smile. Cruel images? Heaven knows she saw the crime scene last night. She even witnessed those two people lying in a pool of blood, their blood staining her clothes!Flora shivered for no reason, shook her head, and decided not to think about the events of yesterday. Maxwell was right; she should forget about it. Changing the subject, she asked, "Auntie, what about Chloe? Did she tire you out last night?""She was so drunk, it's strange if she didn't exhaust me. Thankfully Linda helped take care of her. It's really beyond my control when a girl like her gets drunk like this. "Flora smiled and comforted her, "Auntie, Chloe doesn't behave like this all the time. It's
Chiyoko left the hotel and checked the time. Maxwell should be getting off work soon, so she planned to get to the Smith Family Mansion before he got home. At the very least, she couldn't let him know that she had been out, especially if she had met with someone from the Yota Gang!Back at the Smith Family Mansion, Chiyoko stayed anxiously until late, only hearing Maxwell's car pull into the yard. Then she heard footsteps coming up the stairs. Seizing the opportunity, she rushed into his room as he entered, embracing him from behind.Maxwell was startled, and he lowered his head to see the small, pure white hand tightly gripping his waist. Expressionless, he said, "Chiyoko Tokugawa, if you insist on staying at the Smith Family Mansion, please try your best to not appear in front of me!""Maxwell..." Chiyoko completely ignored his warning and pressed her face against his back, her voice choked with sadness. "Maxwell, you're finally back. I'm so glad you're okay!"Maxwell pulled her han
