Flora's hope vanished when the person appeared—it was Nancy! This woman liked to bully others, who even dared to mistreat Chiyoko, let alone her. Flora thought with some fear in her heart, silently watching every move she made.Sure enough, when Nancy saw her, she pulled the corners of her mouth into a cold smirk and sneered, "Miss Flora, good morning!"What chilled Flora's heart, however, wasn't Nancy but Chiyoko, who entered behind her. At this moment, Chiyoko's face showed not only schadenfreude but also a deep indifference. Being confined here, she was the one who could feel that kind of pain the most, right?It wasn't surprising that she would show such an expression, Flora thought with a bitter smile. She just didn't know where she had offended her, making her so repulsed. Everyone in the Smith Family mansion knew that she had been forced to become Maxwell's captive!"What's wrong, Miss Flora? No appetite?" Chiyoko mocked as she looked at Flora's disheveled appearance. Seeing th
"Aunt, rest assured, I won't even glance at her anymore," Maxwell replied without hesitation. He was a man of his word, although recently he had been somewhat influenced by Flora's interference. But this was something he wouldn't change!Upon hearing his words, not only did Mrs. Smith feel relieved, but Chiyoko also let out a gentle sigh of relief in her heart. Never seeing her again, that's great! However, for a man as outstanding as Maxwell, how many more Floras might be waiting to appear?Just as Mrs. Smith was about to leave, the sound of the front door opening reached her ears, and a luxurious car slowly entered the Smith Family mansion. Mrs. Smith was surprised to see that it was the car Mrs. Davis usually used for transportation.The car came to a slow stop, and Mrs. Smith, wearing a joyful smile, approached, examining Mrs. Davis, who was getting out of the car with astonishment. She said, "Mrs. Davis, it's you?" Why did she come so early in the morning?"Yes, welcome?" Mrs. Da
"Whether it's ridiculous or not, you know best. Kevin has already been nearly ruined by you. Mrs. Davis, if you're wise, you should stop now. The Smith Family Group and the Davis Family Group can't disappear completely from the Earth. You should understand that."Indeed, the Smith Family Group would not easily collapse! When the Smith Family Group was almost on the verge of collapse due to the Davis Family Group's attack, he saved it."Maxwell, don't think you have everything under control, and don't speculate recklessly." Mrs. Davis looked at him and uttered these words.In her heart, however, she was horrified. Maxwell was indeed as shrewd as the rumors suggested. And would Kevin be his match? Suddenly, she felt a bit worried!"Have I overthought this?" Maxwell neither confirmed nor denied, sneering, "The bidding for the tourism development project in City A suddenly fell into Kevin's hands. Is that just a coincidence?"Kevin had successfully treated him as an imaginary enemy, from
"Oh, no... Little Young Master... it's dangerous!"A sharp voice came from the garden, causing both Flora and Robin to roll their eyes."Why are you yelling?" Robin unhappily shouted back at the maid screaming downstairs. He hated being caught just after climbing up. This was bad! If his Big Brother found out he lied about having a stomach ache to skip school, he would surely scold him!Climbing up was easy, but going down might not be, so Robin simply ignored the maids and opened the terrace door from the outside, walking in. He handed a box of exquisite pastries to Flora and, with composure, said, "Please enjoy."More and more people gathered in the garden, all looking pale and frightened. Soon, hurried footsteps echoed in the corridor, getting closer."What should we do? Do you want to hide?" Flora caught the fragrant pastries and looked at the dirt-covered Robin, urgently asking."Okay." Robin glanced around, then quickly rushed to the wardrobe and, with a swift movement, hid behi
However, Maxwell saw through her thoughts in an instant, sneering at her, "What? Planning to escape again?" This woman had just pretended to be on the brink of death, causing him unnecessary worry. Now, she was already contemplating another escape!? It seemed her injuries weren't that serious!Flora glanced at him and coldly huffed, "I won't escape. I was just attempting suicide earlier. I don't know who claimed not to care if I lived or died while nervously shouting for a doctor." Thinking about the nervousness she sensed on his handsome face, Flora felt a complex and indescribable emotion, even a faint sense of delight.Suddenly, she found these three bright red fingers cute. Not only did they help her leave the third floor, but they also allowed her to peek at Maxwell's hidden thoughts. A triumphant smile appeared on her face as she moved her fingers to her lips and gently blew air. However, her fingers really hurt... Why hadn't the doctor arrived yet?Maxwell was provoked by her w
The video displayed a face identical to his own. Just as expected!Before Maxwell could speak, Kevin got straight to the point, "Where is Flora?"His tone was indifferent, but a hint of urgency could be detected. This small piece of information revealed Kevin's disturbed state of mind, just like Maxwell.Flora White! Truly a capable woman. Anyone who encountered her seemed to lose their composure. Even Kevin, a steady man like him, was driven to madness by her! This matter seems to be not as simple as he imagined it to be!"What? Have you fallen for her?" Maxwell sneered, tauntingly."I'm only concerned about my subordinate. There's no need for your sarcastic remarks," Kevin replied, displeased.He hadn't seen Flora all morning. After asking Chloe, he learned she had been dismissed by Mr. Maxwell. He couldn't help but worry about what Maxwell might do to her."Gambles often lead people to end up betting themselves," Maxwell sneered. Leaning back, he rested one hand under his chin and
Inside the Davis' mansion, the lights were decorated, and guests were flooding in. The air was filled with the aroma of fine wine and food. Soft music filled the entire mansion, and the guests were all laughing, except Mrs. Davis, who stood at the door anxiously. In her heart, she cursed silently, wondering if her dear son dared to sneak away from her again.Although she had secretly invited several beautiful young ladies for him, it couldn't be possible for him to skip this grand feast, right? With all the guests present, the main character still hadn't arrived. The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became, pacing back and forth on the spot."Mrs. Davis, why hasn't Kevin returned yet?" Betsy Black walked out from inside, boringly asking, standing by Mrs. Davis' side while gazing outside. She had been waiting all night and couldn't even catch a glimpse of him!Mrs. Davis turned around and patted her shoulder, reassuringly smiling, "Betsy, I'm sorry. Kevin probably got de
"What?" Mrs. Davis, hearing him say that, stared at him in disbelief. What was he talking about?Seeing her bewildered, Kevin lightly laughed and said, "Mom, I'm kidding. Didn't you see it? I'm fine!""Oh..." Mrs. Davis finally breathed a sigh of relief, patting her chest and murmuring to herself, "As long as you're okay. You scared me to death!"Kevin glanced at the messy room, apologizing, "Mom, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to stand you up. Something happened on the way, so...""Oh, it's a relief you came back safely. Are you hungry? Come, have something to eat." Mrs. Davis pulled him to sit on the sofa.After the scare, she realized how important Kevin was to her. She had long treated him as her own son, and the Davis family needed him. She couldn't afford to lose him! Suddenly realizing her foolishness, she had been idiotic enough to use her son as a pawn, attempting to use him to retaliate against the Smith Family! Revenge was necessary, but she couldn't drag Kevin down, or she might
