After dinner, Flora helped Auntie Grace clean up the dishes and felt a bit bored, so she decided to go to Chloe's room to have some fun. She pushed open the door and saw Chloe dancing her fingers on the computer, walked in with a light laugh and said, "Writing in your room every night, careful not to get too bored?""Do you think I can get bored with this performance?" Chloe replied without looking away from the computer, unimpressed."No, haha..." Flora walked up behind her, leaning over the computer, and curiously looked at the documents, asking, "What novel are you writing? Is it good? Can I read it?""No, go to sleep!" Chloe urged."Let me see," Flora smirked and begged, she usually didn't like reading novels, but since it was written by Chloe, she wanted to read it."No way!" Chloe didn't give any room for negotiation, then she glanced at Flora, smiling mischievously, "I really want to write a contemporary novel. Your experience must be interesting. What if I write your story and
Chloe's hands pressed against his chest as she sneered, "Mr. Mark, why are you telling me all this? Regardless of whether you want it or not, it was your choice.""I just want you to know that I can't be without you..." Mark growled lowly, lowering his head to kiss her lips. His warm hand caressed her chest, trembling as it moved.Chloe held his hand in place, looking at him with a light laugh, "Do you want me? Give me a Mazda 6 coupe, red." After saying these words, even Chloe herself felt shameless. But this was what he owed her, and he could never fully repay his debts to her. What's a Mazda 6 in comparison?Mark took her hand off his forearm and brought it to his lips, kissing it. "Even if it cost me my life, I wouldn't hesitate." Let alone a relatively inexpensive car. His kiss descended once again, landing between her eyebrows.One hand lifted her shirt, gently stroking her body. As his hand reached her sensitive area, Chloe slightly turned her body and pressed down on his wande
Flora followed behind Chloe as they went downstairs. The lobby on the first floor was already adorned with a red carpet, and there were rows of hospitality staff on both sides of the entrance. The girls from the guest room department crowded forward with curiosity.Chloe caught their attention and pointed to a corner, saying, "Hey, stand here, all of you!""What can we see standing here? We can't see anything," one of the girls whispered in protest. Chloe gave her a disdainful look before she obediently closed her mouth and stood in place.The setting sun outside was intense and a bit blinding. Flora, standing in the corner, suddenly felt a bit dizzy, perhaps due to the noise of the girls around her. She felt a slight tightness in her chest."Flora, are you okay?" Linda turned around and noticed Flora's unusual complexion. She looked at her with concern."I suddenly feel weak all over. Chloe, I'm afraid I need to take a leave of absence," Flora said with a pained expression, addressin
The handsome man had a faint wicked smile on his face. He scrutinized her and then smirked, saying, "Beautiful lady, I am not surnamed Smith. My name is not Maxwell, or Oliver. My name is Kevin Davis, and you can call me Kevin.""What?!" Flora stared at him in astonishment, both shocked and suspicious. He wasn't Maxwell? Nor Oliver? How could it be?! And he seemed as if he didn't know her!"What did you say...?" Flora raised her little face and stared at him blankly, asking, "You're not surnamed Smith?""Yes, miss, is there a problem?" Kevin extended a hand and pulled her waist up.Flora's body, which was about to fall to the ground, was caught firmly by him and stabilized.Flora shook her head and murmured, "It's impossible... You are obviously him, you must be him... "Right, he must not be able to reveal his identity, he must be afraid that the people around him would know his true identity, right?Since he pretended not to know her, she would take the opportunity to slip away when
Inside the Smith Family mansion, Chiyoko carried the carefully prepared coffee and took a deep breath, summoning her courage as she walked towards the study. She knocked softly on the door and entered after receiving permission.Chiyoko stood in front of Maxwell's desk and softly called out, "Maxwell...""If there's nothing important, shut up and leave immediately," Maxwell didn't even raise his head, coldly retorting. He detested hearing her voice and even detested breathing the same air that carried her presence."Maxwell, please don't be like this," Chiyoko pitifully pleaded, her eyes shimmering with tears that evoked tenderness.Unfortunately, Maxwell couldn't see it. He continued speaking in an icy tone, "If you insist on staying in the Smith Family and refuse to return to Japan, then please behave and stay in your room. Don't appear in front of me unless necessary! Also, move out of the room you're currently staying in!"That room was previously occupied by Flora, and subconscio
"Really? That's great," Mrs. Smith exclaimed with delight. "Please come by often when you have the time. And, when will you bring Kevin along? I haven't seen him yet.""Let him finish his busy period first. You will get the chance to meet him," Mrs. Davis said with a smile. She glanced at Maxwell, lowered her head, and took a sip of her coffee. A strange smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, but no one noticed it!After taking a sip of her coffee, as if suddenly remembering something, she looked up at Mrs. Smith and said, "Oh, by the way, when is Oliver coming back? Don't forget to let me know when he does, I also want to see him." She chuckled apologetically and continued, "Look at me, I have a special affection for these two older ones. But as for Richard and Robin, I haven't seen them much when they were young, so the bond isn't as deep.""People are like that, it's natural to have stronger feelings for those we spend more time with," Mrs. Smith didn't find anything strange an
"It's getting late, let's hurry up and go upstairs," Mark interjected before Chloe could speak. He couldn't guarantee that Chloe would cover for him. He knew too well about her personality, always fearing that everything would fall apart.His remark made Alma even more suspicious, but she didn't want to continue questioning, so she followed behind Mark towards the elevator."I suddenly feel sorry for Miss Alma," Flora muttered softly as she watched Alma's figure.Linda glanced at her and said, "She's not worthy of sympathy. I feel more sorry for our Chloe!""Thanks for your sympathy," Chloe clenched her teeth and muttered these words, watching Mark and Alma get further and further away. When she looked back at the car, the bright red color suddenly seemed extra glaring, stabbing her heart painfully!Back in the guest room department, Linda immediately shouted to Chloe to find out Kevin Davis' room number. She didn't necessarily need to get him but just seeing him would be satisfying e
"Just a little bit..." Flora's facial muscles were so tense it felt like they had turned into dead flesh.Oh my god! When will this strange man stop? Why does he keep asking questions that make her heart race?"Maxwell Smith, Oliver Smith..." Kevin lightly parted his lips and softly uttered those two names. He looked at Flora's shocked expression and asked, "Are you referring to these two brothers?""How... how do you know them?" Flora opened her mouth, stuttering, but Kevin remained silent, as if he had no intention of answering her.Flora finally broke down and shouted in frustration, "I'm going crazy! You and these weird people are driving me insane! Can someone please explain what is going on?""Maxwell Smith! Oliver Smith!" Kevin looked at her expression, feeling somewhat remorseful but also cold. Seeing her on the verge of a breakdown, he sneered, "Miss Flora, just like everyone else in the world, you're beyond helplessly foolish!"Flora forced herself to calm down, clutching he
"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
