"Help me to escape from here," Flora said, thinking that he was the master here and must know a way to sneak out.Robin appeared uneasy and grumbled in an unhappy tone, "But if Big Brother finds out, he'll kill me.""Don't worry, he won't dare to kill you," Flora assured him urgently. As he was Maxwell's little brother and still a child, Maxwell shouldn't go too far with a child, right? Either way, she didn't care.She just wanted to escape from here, get away from that devilish man. Other matters were of no concern to her.Robin still shook his head, saying, "I can't help you with this, and you won't be able to escape. Without a car or a boat, there's no way out."Robin wasn't exaggerating; this coastal villa was surrounded by thick green woods, and it wasn't possible to leave on foot.When she came here, Flora knew how long the car had driven on a winding mountain road. However, as long as she could escape from the mansion, she wouldn't care. She'd rather die on the way than stay he
Flora kept looking back in the direction of the front yard, only picking up her pace and catching up with Robin once she saw that no one was following.Finally, they arrived at the old plum tree. Robin pointed at the trunk and whispered to Flora, "I always go out from here. Give it a try and see if you can get out."Flora looked up at the tree, which was two heads taller than herself. Honestly, it was a bit challenging for her to climb up. She had never learned to climb trees when she was a child, and now she regretted not having acquired that skill."I can't climb up!" Flora said with a drooping face, looking at Robin with a helpless expression.Robin rolled his eyes in annoyance and muttered, "Useless. Watch me." With that, he grabbed the thick tree trunk and started climbing up like a monkey, displaying his nimble and agile movements.Flora watched him with admiration, but she had no idea how to perform such a high-level maneuver.Looking around, she noticed a few lounge chairs not
Her stubbornness and her quick tongue were only leading her into disaster. Under the cover of the night, Maxwell's face had turned an ashen hue, as if he might consume her with his fury at any moment!"Before I drown, I will make you suffer to death. Do you believe that?" Maxwell parted his lips slightly, and his frigid words escaped from them, "Miss White, you didn't seem to have had enough lessons, not a shred of being well-behaved..."As Maxwell's words fell, a well-built man holding a whip stepped forward and stood a couple of paces in front of Flora. Flora's heart jumped, and she stared at the high-quality leather whip and then began to tremble slightly. However, she refused to show her fear and continued to face the man with her stubbornness!He had taken everything from her and relentlessly humiliated her, and she couldn't afford to appear weak anymore. She understood that the more she suffered, the happier this twisted man became!"Teach her a lesson properly, until she behave
One day, Nancy dragged her out of bed early in the morning with a malicious smile and said, "All these injuries are your fault. Don't even think about using them as an excuse to slack off. Get downstairs and start working!"Flora had no choice but to endure the lingering pain in her body and walk out of her room. As she passed through the corridor and neared the stairs, she suddenly heard a woman crying from the third floor. Flora paused for a moment, instinctively looking up toward the third floor.To her knowledge, there were no residents on the third floor, as all the young masters stayed on the second floor. However, the crying... Flora was extremely puzzled.Nancy, on the other hand, pushed her impatiently and scolded, "What are you gawking at? Move along!"Chastised by Nancy, Flora suppressed her curiosity and continued walking downstairs. Meanwhile, Nancy rushed to the third floor in a hurry. Soon, the crying ceased, replaced by the sound of someone descending the stairs – it w
After staying in Maxwell's bedroom for a while, Flora eventually turned and walked out, heading towards Oliver's room. Despite not being as brutal as Maxwell, she still felt somewhat nervous and uncomfortable in the presence of a man she had only met twice.Flora stood at the door, took a deep breath, and gently knocked on the door a couple of times.Oliver's deep voice came from inside, "Come in."Flora pushed the door and entered. When her eyes met Oliver's bare upper body, she was taken aback. Her fair face, which was initially pale, instantly turned a deep shade of red. At that moment, he was wearing only casual shorts, and his well-built upper body had a healthy and sun-kissed tan.His face displayed a mocking expression, with a hint of amusement. Flora's face turned even redder, and she quickly lowered her head, saying, "Second Young Master, these are your clothes.""Thank you," Oliver replied with a soft laugh. After casting a glance at her adorable red face, he turned and walk
And Oliver's ultimate goal in being good to her was nothing more than wanting to get the necklace from her. His strong desire for it piqued her curiosity about the necklace, and she tried hard to recall where she had put it.Unfortunately, no matter how hard she thought, she couldn't remember, and eventually, she fell asleep. She wasn't sure how long she had slept, but Flora was suddenly awakened by a woman's shrill scream. She heard the woman crying again!It was coming from the third floor, faint but still audible, and she could vaguely hear the woman shouting and cursing loudly, although she couldn't understand a word of what she was saying. The strange sound disturbed Flora's sleep, and in the silent mansion, the woman's voice was the only thing that was clear and distinct.Flora glanced at the large luminous clock on the wall, and a tingling sensation crept up her scalp. Her first thought was that the mansion must be haunted; otherwise, how could there be such a chilling female c
"Why are you back?" Flora asked dumbfoundedly.In a mix of fear and curiosity, she stole a glance at the clock on the wall. It was almost dawn. Had he just returned from outside?Maxwell smirked, looking at her disdainfully, "This is my home. Can't I come back whenever I want?"Yes, he was right! Flora knew very well that this was his home. So she closed her mouth and didn't say anything. She felt a slight tremor in her heart, afraid of what might happen next. This man appearing in her room, what else could he want besides tormenting and violating her?Naturally, Maxwell noticed her uneasiness. He leaned in, his hands resting on each side of her soft bed. Staring at her, he mocked, "Miss White, you seem quite nervous, don't you?"You're the nervous one! Flora retorted weakly in her mind, but the words couldn't escape her mouth because she knew they would only bring about his ridicule. He was a devil, a devil who could see through people's hearts!"What do you want?" The words fell fro
When Maxwell left, it was already starting to get light outside. With the crying last night and Maxwell's commotion this morning, she hadn't slept well at all. But it was already time for her to get up and work, and there was no time for sleep.As a habit, Flora washed off the scent left by Maxwell and got dressed before leaving the bedroom. As she passed the stairs, she unconsciously glanced in the direction of the third floor. She still had a curiosity about the story behind the third floor. Standing there for a few seconds, she pulled her gaze back when Oliver suddenly appeared, startling her.This man is everywhere, sneaky and elusive! Flora determined that he was Oliver by his gentle and cultured appearance, quickly lowering her gaze."Good morning, Young Master Oliver!""Good morning," Oliver responded with a gentle smile as he observed her. "You...seem to have had a rough night?""No... I'm fine," Flora hurriedly replied. She couldn't tell him that she was dragged out of bed by
"Who are you exactly?" Flor asked in a stern tone once again, half of her body forced to lie on his legs, no longer struggling or resisting, because she knew it would be futile. Deep down, she was reluctant to let go of his body!"I am your lover, your husband," Maxwell whispered in her ear, holding her body close again and assessing her rapidly changing expression. There was excitement in his heart as he said those words, and he reached out to tidy her clothes."It's not possible..." Flora shook her head in horror and said, "My husband is Henry!"Maxwell glared at her angrily and asked, "I was just about to ask you, how did you become Henry's wife?" The hand that was once caressing her tightened its grip, causing Flora to wince in pain. She furrowed her brows tightly, enduring the pain he inflicted on her."I..." Flora tried to speak, but Maxwell interrupted her, his voice icy as he said, "What has Henry done to you? Tell me!"Flora stared at him, anxious and bewildered, shaking her
In the President's office of the Smith Family Group, Joshua cautiously presented his work report to Maxwell. Ever since Flora died, he no longer dared to be negligent in his work or treat Maxwell with a disdainful attitude out of guilt.He had even quickly married to prove that he had long given up any fantasies about Flora and never had any intention of competing with Maxwell for her.Maxwell quickly skimmed through the report and handed it back to him calmly, saying, "From now on, you can make your own decisions regarding these projects. You don't have to ask me anymore.""Oh... alright." Joshua nodded obediently, clutching the report, and hurriedly walked towards the door. Meeting Maxwell had become a mental torment for him since two years ago. He was afraid, so he always wanted to escape!After Joshua left, Maxwell packed up and prepared to go home. His gaze involuntarily fell on Flora's photo on his desk. He couldn't bear to look away for a long time. Now, going home was no longe
Two years later.It was spring, the season when flowers bloomed. Inside a luxurious mansion, roses were blooming beautifully. Pink petals fluttered, decorating the green grass.Two children, who looked almost identical and like angels, were laughing and playing on the grass, chasing each other in the sea of pink flowers.They appeared to be about two years old, with blinking big eyes and fair skin. The most enchanting feature was their sparkling eyes. The only difference between their little faces was that the boy had a touch of masculinity, while the girl exuded a sweet charm.A nanny stood nearby, carefully watching over them, not daring to look away for a moment, afraid that the two little angels might fall or collide. From the nanny's expression, one could tell that these little angels were of high status.At that moment, the sound of a car approaching could be heard from the entrance. Soon after, a silver car slowly drove into the yard and stopped in front of the main house. The
The sun rose as usual, and after a night of turmoil, the Smith Family mansion remained engulfed in a somber atmosphere. Maxwell sat on the bed, eyes wide open, unable to sleep. With Mrs. Smith's consent, Darren gave him a sleeping pill.This tactic proved effective; Maxwell soon fell asleep, entering a deep slumber until the sunset.Upon waking, Maxwell's gaze was sharp. His first command to Darren was, "Go and bring Flora back."Darren thought he might be delirious from sleep, cautiously saying, "Big Young Master, Miss Flora... she's already...""Even if she's dead, bring her back!" Maxwell roared, abruptly sitting up from the bed. The sudden burst of anger startled everyone present!Even in death, he wanted Flora back by his side. They had promised not to part in this lifetime, yet she left him just days after making that promise. She was his wife, forever!"Maxwell..." Mrs. Smith comforted him by patting his shoulder. "The dead cannot come back to life; don't be like this. Flora is
Maxwell's expression froze, and his anger erupted instantly from within him. He shouted, "What did you say? Say it again if you dare!" Flora was dead? Who dared to say that she was dead? Who dared to let her die?Everyone knew that his shout, his anger, was just an attempt to avoid and mask the truth. What's the use of refusing to admit it? Flora wouldn't come back to life because of this, she wouldn't return to his side because of this!"Big Young Master, this is the truth. Miss Flora was killed by Chiyoko Tokugawa!" Darren reiterated this painful fact, restraining the danger of being beaten up by Maxwell. When he received this news, he was also shocked and immediately came to personally inform Maxwell instead of telling him over the phone. He was afraid that Maxwell might do something irrational and harmful!"It's impossible! Chiyoko doesn't have the guts!" Maxwell shook his head and spoke coldly. His body was already trembling so much that he couldn't stand steadily, leaning agains
Joshua's legs gave way, and his strong body fell to the ground. It took him a while before he struggled to prop himself up and stumbled into the room where Flora was.On the makeshift operating table, he saw Flora lying quietly on the bed, covered in a thin white silk sheet. Her once prominent belly was now flat."Flora!" Joshua's mind went blank as he rushed forward, frantically examining Flora, who lay peacefully on the bed. Was she dead? What had he done? He had caused harm to Flora! Even if he hated her, he had never thought of using such a cruel method to harm her!Trembling, he lifted the thin sheet covering Flora. She was dressed in a set of bright white silk pajamas, stained with traces of blood. Her face had turned deathly pale, and her hands were alternately placed on her flat stomach.Overwhelmed with shock, Joshua fainted. In his last moments of consciousness, he thought about how Maxwell would punish him. Flora might never forgive her even in the afterlife!Philip immedia
Flora stared at Joshua, who unexpectedly appeared in her bedroom. Startled, she took a step back and braced herself against the desk, barely keeping her trembling body steady. She lamely asked, "What did you say?"Joshua anxiously repeated, "Big Brother has been captured by the Yota Gang. He's now being held in a villa in City W. Chiyoko said she wants to see you, otherwise..." Joshua couldn't continue speaking and instead let silence take over. He lowered his head slightly, hiding his emotions beneath his eyelids."It's impossible! Maxwell called me just two hours ago!" Flora screamed, her eyes red and her body trembling slightly. It was unclear whether she was angry or devastated. She stared fixedly at Joshua with wide eyes, as if he was lying, intentionally deceiving her. How could Maxwell, who was so cautious, fall into someone else's hands so easily? She didn't believe it!Joshua urgently pressed his finger against her lips and said, "Flora, please don't be so loud. If my mom hea
Chiyoko stood at the entrance of the Smith Family Group building, looking up at the luxurious structure in front of her. In the end, she couldn't control her actions and walked into the lobby.The receptionist stood up and politely smiled at her, saying, "Hello, miss. How can I assist you?" Although her tone was polite, her gaze couldn't help but wander over Chiyoko's body.Having adapted to this mixture of surprise and contempt over the past two days, Chiyoko was no longer as sensitive. She lifted her golden-framed glasses and calmly said, "Could you please find Maxwell for me?"The receptionist lowered her head apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Chiyoko. Mr. Maxwell has instructed that due to your recent high-profile appearances, to avoid any scandals, he is unable to meet with you in the short term."The receptionist's words were polite, but the disdain in her tone was hard to conceal. Chiyoko could naturally sense it, causing her anger to flare up. She couldn't believe that
Flora, startled, instinctively asked, "Who is it?" As soon as she saw a couple naked on the screen, she quickly closed the laptop, without closely examining who it was. Now, after Kevin mentioned it, she was really curious."Just see for yourself," Kevin chuckled.Flora opened the laptop again, continuing to watch the embarrassing scene that made her blush. When she saw the figures clearly, her face was covered with a look of shock.Rubbing her eyes vigorously, yes, it was indeed Chiyoko and Philip! It was them? Flora asked in astonishment, looking at the silent phone, "How do you have... um... this kind of video with them?""It's everywhere on the internet now. I just randomly downloaded it from a website, and the first thing I thought of was to show it to you. Aren't I so considerate?" Kevin proudly invited attention.Flora slapped her flushed and heated face with her hand, unkindly saying, "Although it is indeed surprising, you didn't have to think of showing it to me first.""It's
