A Porsche slowly pulled up in front of the Moonlight Hotel. Mrs. Smith, gazing through the car window, surveyed the luxurious star-rated hotel building. She turned to Maxwell with concern and asked, "Maxwell, is Oliver willing to see me?""Aunt, I've arranged the meeting on behalf of someone else, but remember he is now Kevin," Maxwell said, gripping the steering wheel. He couldn't let Mrs. Smith go around proclaiming that Kevin is actually Oliver."Yes, I know. Don't worry," Mrs. Smith nodded reassuringly."I can't show up. Can you go up by yourself, Aunt?" Maxwell asked after a moment of thought. After all, his face looked exactly like Kevin's, and it wasn't suitable for him to linger around."That's fine. You can go to work. I'll have the driver take me back later," Mrs. Smith replied, opening the car door and walking towards the hotel entrance.Maxwell watched her disappear and left after a few seconds.Mrs. Davis surveyed the spacious lobby, preparing to ask someone at the front
In a courtyard of a two-story building, Chiyoko, arrogant and haughty, looked down at the unconscious Flora lying on the ground. Her lips twitched, revealing a faint indifferent smile.She then lifted her high-heeled shoe and forcefully rotated it left and right on Flora's fingers, sneering, "Piano-playing hands... let's see how you play in the future."The fingers on the ground immediately became a bloody mess, while their owner remained completely unaware, oblivious to the violation she was enduring. The sedative was heavy, and she probably wouldn't wake up for some time."How do you want to deal with her?" Philip walked in leisurely, glanced at Flora on the ground, and then embraced Chiyoko from behind. His restless hands roamed toward her chest, gently kneading."Get rid of her unborn child for me, and make sure she never appears in front of Maxwell again!" Chiyoko said viciously.Philip chuckled, kissed her ear, and said, "Why not just say you want her dead, straightforward and c
Flora was confined to a small bedroom, curled up in a corner of the bed, and unknowingly drifted into sleep.After an unknown duration of sleep, she was awakened by a noisy commotion. Flora instinctively snapped to attention, cautiously approaching the window. Outside was dimly lit, and she could vaguely sense that someone had arrived, though she couldn't see who it was.However, one thing was clear to Flora— the sound of Maxwell's Porsche. It was a noise she would listen for every night back at the Smith Family mansion, and it had ingrained itself in her mind.Hearing this familiar sound, Flora froze. Had Maxwell come? Was he here to rescue her? But what if he was in danger? There were so many people who had abducted her, but Maxwell was alone! She began to worry, even more about his safety than her own. She didn't want anything to happen to Maxwell.In the adjacent room, Chiyoko sat angrily on the bed, glaring at Philip. She threatened him once again, "If you don't kill Flora soon,
Flora, who was sent to the hospital by Darren, sat bored on the bed. She couldn't understand; she only had a hand injury, and although it was very painful, it didn't warrant a hospital stay, did it?According to Darren, Maxwell was afraid that she would be overly frightened and harm the baby, so he insisted she stay in the hospital for a few days for observation. Hmph! Always thinking about the child! Everything in his heart and eyes was about the child!She had been in the hospital for two days already, and she hadn't seen even him. The heartless guy, even if she deceived him, wouldn't justify leaving her in the hospital without a glance for two days. She doubted if the tenderness he showed in front of the small apartment was just a pretense. Perhaps his willingness to die for her was also fake!No, it should be real, but not for her, only for the child. Wasn't his heart filled only with thoughts of the child?Holding her right hand tightly wrapped in bandages, Flora felt unjust. The
As soon as Maxwell finished speaking, he felt her fingers press forcefully on his wound.A muffled groan escaped from his mouth, and his complexion instantly changed. Damn it, when he said it didn't hurt, it was without someone pressing on it. Could it not hurt when she pressed down with such force?"Do you know it hurts? If you do, please use civilized language in the future, especially when dealing with girls." Flora removed her hand from his body, and tore off some tissue to wipe it, completely ignoring how dissatisfied he was. Then, as he got up, she threw his shirt onto him.Maxwell took the shirt grudgingly, put it on, and wore a dark expression without saying a word.Flora, seeing him in this state, chuckled and said, "Alright, you can go back to your work now." She knew he was busy managing two companies, and just seeing him was satisfying enough for her.Maxwell looked at her with confusion. Was she letting him off so easily? This didn't seem like her style. However, he didn'
Two days later, Flora woke up with frustration. Leaning against the bedside, she buried her face in her knees, feeling angry and, at the same time, aggrieved. More than a week had passed, and there was still no sign of Maxwell.It was truly hateful. Since that night when she drove him away, he hadn't shown up again. Looking up at the three roses that Chloe kindly left on the table, the roses had lost their luster and were wilting.She even began to regret why she had driven Maxwell away that night. A person with such a strong sense of pride, being heartlessly driven away by her, must have lost face, right? He must be angry, right?Nothing serious had happened. Even when he and Chiyoko ended up on the same bed, she forgave him. In the end, it had become what it was today because of an innocuous remark. Now, thinking calmly, she found his words reasonable. Wasn't it because he often made such remarks to belittle and insult her before?In the past, she could pretend not to hear them. Why
Back in the car, Flora sat on the side, secretly sizing up Maxwell. She hadn't expected him to decide to give Chloe a big mansion. She couldn't understand what he was thinking, being so generous.Moreover, he hadn't appeared for so long, but today he suddenly showed up. Why didn't he continue to be stubborn with her?"If you have something to say, just say it. Don't look at me with that innocent girl expression," Maxwell chuckled without looking back. Although she was indeed a young girl, she was far from innocent after his influence."Who's looking at you? Boring!" Flora turned her head away, looking at the passing scenery outside the window, refusing to pay attention to him."Are you sure?" Maxwell cupped her face, looking at her with a half-smile.Flora blushed and retorted, "Yes, we haven't seen each other for half a month. I found that you've aged, so can't I take a closer look?""Yes, I've aged, but it doesn't necessarily mean you've gotten younger." Maxwell chuckled lightly, fe
Maxwell didn't return to the bedroom until almost midnight. For the first time in his life, he ignored the teasing from others and walked into the room holding a bouquet of vibrant champagne-colored roses.He never had the habit of giving flowers to anyone, but he wanted Flora to know that he was trying to change himself. Just like changing his temper, he was willing to tolerate any rude or naughty behavior from her.As someone who was extremely serious with employees, subordinates, and everyone else, he had never imagined that he would one day indulge a woman like this, let alone change himself for her.Mrs. Smith, seeing him come in, welcomed him with joy and said, smiling, "Maxwell, you're finally back. I was afraid you were busy with social engagements or other matters, so I didn't dare to call you.""Aunt, what makes you so happy?" Maxwell chuckled as he looked at Mrs. Smith, finding it amusing that she stayed up so late and greeted him with such a cheerful demeanor.But seeing M
"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
