"No," Maxwell gritted his teeth, without hesitation. How could he possibly want a child with an enemy? How could he want a child with someone he didn't love? It was a question he didn't even need to consider!His words chilled Flora's heart to an icy point, her face turned ashamedly pale. Maxwell! He truly was a heartless and cruel man! A demon who would even willingly kill his own child!Cold, bone-chilling coldness spread from the depths of her being, coursing through her veins and reaching every limb. Even her expression and voice turned cold, "Since that's the case, there's no need for me to lie and say this child is yours."Maxwell was taken aback. Even though he had already guessed the result, hearing her words still hurt him deeply. He closed his eyes with a slight shake of his head. Disappointment and anger intertwined, surging over his heart like a tide.His broad hand clenched into a fist and slammed down forcefully. Flora quickly closed her eyes, not waiting for the pain be
"Of course, get rid of it. Why keep it?" Mrs. Smith scolded displeasedly. She expressed great dissatisfaction with Doctor Alan's unnecessary question. Did they still want Flora to keep this child to continue tormenting Maxwell?"Well, yes... I'm sorry, madam." Doctor Alan stammered, apologizing sincerely. He cursed himself for being too talkative! To avoid angering Mrs. Smith, he quickly retreated.As Doctor Alan passed by Maxwell, he bowed slightly, and Maxwell glanced at him, calmly saying, "First, let her recover before dealing with her child." With that, he walked away without looking back.He still couldn't bring himself to forcefully kill the child in Flora's belly, even if it was Kevin's child, even if he hated it to the bone! The shame associated with it weighed on his head. He could even imagine Kevin's triumphant handsome face, announcing victory with a smirk. He didn't dare to think about it!Yet, there was a faint anticipation in his heart, hoping that Flora was deceiving
After five seconds of contemplation, Kevin smirked, his lips curling into a mocking smile as he looked up at Maxwell, "Didn't Flora tell you? Why bother coming to ask me, Mr. Maxwell? Are you here to verify the facts...?"A loud thud! Maxwell's fist viciously struck Kevin's face, and Kevin's body crashed into the nearby car. Immediately, a hint of metallic sweetness appeared at the corner of his mouth—that was the taste of blood!"Kevin!" Mrs. Davis exclaimed in shock, startled, and rushed over to support Kevin, whose body barely held on and didn't collapse. Anxiously, she asked, "Kevin, are you okay? What's going on between you two?!"Just as Maxwell was about to deliver a second punch, Mrs. Davis stood in front of Kevin, urgently shouting, "Stop! Maxwell, stop it! Why resort to violence when you can talk things out?"Due to Mrs. Davis's presence, Maxwell's punch didn't land. Unwillingly retracting his fist, he glared at Kevin, gritting his teeth, "Ask your son what he did! I can ign
"Yes, Madam." Doctor Alan acknowledged and turned to leave. Before stepping out, he was startled by a sudden figure. Immediately, he lowered his head and greeted, "Hello, Big Young Master!"It was evident that Maxwell had overheard Mrs. Smith's words earlier.Mrs. Smith and Chiyoko were also momentarily stunned by Maxwell's sudden appearance. Mrs. Smith felt a hint of panic and silently scolded herself for not hearing the sound of his car earlier."Maxwell..." Suppressing the slight turmoil within, Mrs. Smith stared at Maxwell, who looked gloomy. She lightly laughed with an extremely measured tone, "I hope you won't mind how I'm handling this.""I don't, Aunt. Just do as you see fit," Maxwell replied with a smile. Not because he cared about Mrs. Smith, not because he dared not defy her, but because he genuinely wanted to do it this way.Kevin! He wanted to see how arrogant he could be! Thinking about the words and smiles Kevin had shown him earlier in the morning, he felt an itching h
Robin struggled all the way. As the guard carrying him passed by Maxwell's bedroom, he exerted all his strength to break free from the guard.Bursting into Maxwell's bedroom, he shouted, "Big Brother! If you don't go save Flora, she's going to die. She's so pitiful; you can hear her crying again!" As he spoke, tears welled up in Robin's eyes out of urgency.Chiyoko, who had been 'accompanying' Maxwell, quickly stepped forward to pull him towards the door, whispering, "Robin, be good. Flora is just sick, and she's receiving treatment. Stop bothering your Big Brother.""She's not just sick! She's covered in injuries from being beaten. You wicked woman, as bad as them!" Robin shook off Chiyoko's hand, glaring at her and cursing.Chiyoko was startled, a slight displeasure appearing on her face as she stared at him. Considering Mrs. Smith's previous teachings and Maxwell's presence, she had to suppress her anger and smiled coaxingly, "Robin, you don't understand adult matters. How about I
"Even if it's yours, if you let her have the child, what about Chiyoko? Chiyoko is your fiancée!" Mrs. Smith was extremely anxious; how could she let Flora give birth to Maxwell's son? It was not permissible!If this child belonged to Chiyoko, she would be overjoyed and probably faint from happiness. After all, she also hoped for Maxwell to start a family and have children sooner.Chiyoko listened to Mrs. Smith's words, staring at Maxwell with tear-filled eyes, waiting for his response.Maxwell glanced at Chiyoko and indifferently stated, "I've said it before; you, Chiyoko Tokugawa, is no longer my fiancée. If you're smart, go back to Japan immediately. Even if you want Itou Tokugawa to do something to me, it doesn't matter!""Maxwell..." Chiyoko choked out, never expecting that after such a long time, this was the same response she received from him. Maxwell had not forgiven her, nor had he fallen in love with her again. Was his heart made of stone? So cold and unyielding?"I won't a
Maxwell reached out and held her waist, lifting her from the lounge chair, staring at her expressionlessly, "Why not go inside and sleep?"Was this statement a form of concern for her? Flora couldn't understand because his expression revealed nothing.So, Flora didn't know how to answer him. Lowering her eyes, she looked around, realizing he still hadn't let her go. It seemed like he was waiting for her response. She casually said, "I... accidentally fell asleep.""The sea breeze here is strong. Don't you know it's not good for the baby if you get sick?" Maxwell reproached disapprovingly.Flora was startled, looking up at him in surprise. He... was concerned about her baby now? Wasn't he the one who ruthlessly wanted to kill him last night? He changed faster than a chameleon!A smirk appeared on her lips, and she flashed him a mocking smile, coldly taunting, "Are you caring about him? This doesn't seem like a behavior you would exhibit, right?"Maxwell's hand, still around her waist,
After finishing the meal, Maxwell took Robin upstairs.Watching their departing figures, Mrs. Smith snorted angrily and muttered under her breath, "That damn Flora! She really infuriates me!"Chiyoko looked at Mrs. Smith with a face full of grievance and hesitantly said, "Aunt, my Uncle called me again this morning, asking when we are getting married. He said he wants to come in person to congratulate us."Mrs. Smith tensed, staring at her in astonishment. With a worried and helpless expression, she spoke softly, "Chiyoko, have a good talk with your uncle. Wait a bit longer. As for Maxwell... you know, he hasn't forgiven you yet. Give him some time, okay?"Whenever Itou Tokugawa was mentioned, Mrs. Smith felt a bit uneasy, afraid that upsetting him might lead to actions detrimental to her family. After all, the Yota Gang was an exceptionally powerful organization, and everyone feared them!"But what about Flora? What about her child?" Chiyoko asked, feeling helpless. Although Mrs. Smi
"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
