The next day, when Flora arrived at the hotel, she heard a girl calling her from behind, saying, "Irma Brown, Mr. Kevin wants you to go and find him when you start work. Don't forget, I'm leaving."Flora stopped in her tracks, didn't turn around, and angrily gritted her teeth, "Kevin! Tell him to go..." Suddenly, an icy smell came from behind, making Flora shiver, and she quickly turned around.When she turned around, she came face to face with Kevin's gloomy handsome face. She couldn't bring herself to say the word 'die' that she had held in her mouth; instead, she had to swallow it back, looking somewhat stunned at the unexpected appearance of Kevin behind her!How did he end up on the 25th floor? And why did he suddenly appear behind her like a ghost? The girl who had just called out to her heard her bold words and saw Kevin, so she turned and fled. As she left, she even gave Flora a sympathetic look. In Flora's eyes, it seemed like it was time for her to pack up and go home.Flora
Inside the Smith Family mansion, a well-dressed man walked with steady steps toward Maxwell's study. After a few knocks on the door, he pushed it open and walked in.Standing in front of Maxwell who was busy working, he respectfully spoke, "Big Young Master, Kevin Davis' information has been investigated. Do you want to review it now?"The man spoke cautiously. Every time he appeared in front of Maxwell, he was always serious. Today, unexpectedly, there was an unusual expression on his face."Darren, did Flora arrive at work on time today?" Maxwell didn't answer his question but instead asked about Flora.Darren nodded, "Yes, she went in, and everything seemed normal."Hearing his words, a moment of relief washed over Maxwell.If she went to work, that meant she hadn't been arrested. For some reason, he was strangely worried that she might end up being thrown into jail. Perhaps it was because she had foolishly returned to the hotel for his sake and ended up getting into so much troubl
"I was just curious, so I asked you," Maxwell replied with a smile. His mind was racing rapidly. 25 years ago, was it really 25 years ago that he was adopted? How was that possible!?Mrs. Davis and Kevin had ulterior motives for their return. No wonder he felt something strange in Mrs. Davis' expression that day, and there was an eerie feeling behind her smile! So, that's it...!"Maxwell, is there anything else? If not, I'll leave first." Mrs. Smith stood up from her chair, looked herself up and down in the mirror, and showed a satisfied expression."Aunt..." Maxwell called out to her, but he opened his mouth and couldn't say anything. He couldn't understand the purpose of Mrs. Davis asking Mrs. Smith to meet Kevin. So, he couldn't let Mrs. Smith go!Mrs. Smith finally noticed his abnormality and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Maxwell, did something happen?"Maxwell shook his head and looked Mrs. Smith in the eye, solemnly saying, "Aunt, can you please not go to the Davis house an
After saying that, Auntie Grace slapped the wall and started screaming, "Heavens! I've always said that good girls shouldn't work at hotels! Trouble always follows when you work at a hotel! You're so young and have already gotten yourself into this mess.""Mom," Chloe interrupted her, annoyed. She called out, "Are you ever going to stop? Who said that working at a hotel means what you think? Flora just has a poor appetite. Who said she's pregnant?"Auntie Grace had mentioned her not working at a hotel more than once, always associating it with something scandalous. No matter how much she tried to correct these beliefs, she couldn't change them. It was driving her crazy!"These symptoms are only seen in pregnancy. Flora, be honest, did you do something shameful? You should resolve this quickly, get rid of the child," Auntie Grace stared at Flora, whose face suddenly turned pale.As someone who had been through it, she understood pregnancy symptoms very well, so she firmly believed that
The next day, Flora woke up early, her hollow eyes staring blankly at the ceiling, her small hands unconsciously caressing her flat stomach. Inside, an unwelcome little life was quietly growing.She absolutely couldn't keep it. If she had to blame someone, it would be the father, Maxwell, who was even worse than a bandit! But did she have the heart to abort this child? Her own flesh and blood!She was still a student herself, and she couldn't possibly afford to secretly raise it. It would only harm this poor child. So, if she were rational enough, she should have the heart to abort it!She gritted her teeth, made up her mind, and got up from the bed. After washing up, Auntie Grace had already prepared breakfast. She walked into Chloe's room and pulled her out of bed, urging her, "Chloe, don't sleep. Accompany Flora to the hospital.""To the hospital?" Chloe jumped up from the bed and looked at her mother in confusion. "Did Flora decide to get an abortion? Are we going today? Doesn't s
Walking into the hospital, Flora immediately felt uncomfortable, fearful, and a little reluctant. Although she kept recalling the instances of Maxwell's abuse, she still felt that this child was innocent and shouldn't be killed before it even formed!After registering, Flora hesitantly followed Chloe to the third floor, the obstetrics and gynecology department. Her steps were hesitant, each one feeling heavy. As she passed by a delivery room, her gaze was drawn to the heartwarming scene inside.There was a woman who had just given birth, surrounded by her family, cooing over the newborn baby in her arms. They looked so happy and their blissful expression made Flora envious.Flora, who had never been moved by such scenes before, suddenly felt moved today. Maybe a woman's maternal instincts were more delicate. Unable to resist, she stopped and peered through the door, silently gazing at the heartwarming scene.She unconsciously placed a hand on her belly, imagining herself as the woman
Maxwell's breath floated into her senses from behind, and his arms, like steel hoops, tightly wrapped around her waist. He breathed anger and exclaimed, "Miss Flora, do you think you can outrun me?"Though he was only slightly out of breath, Flora felt like she was suffocating. She hung limply on him, gasping for air and her heart pounding from exertion. She didn't even have the strength to scold or struggle against him!Maxwell forcefully turned her body around and lowered his head, imprinting his lips on hers, kindly giving her a deep breath.Flora stared at his suddenly enlarged handsome face, feeling both anxious and angry. With a bit of regained strength, she pushed and hit his chest, gasping, "Let... me go!""Don't you like running? Do you want to keep running?" Maxwell sneered at her coldly. "Every time you see me, you act like a mouse seeing a cat. Aren't you tired?""I'm exhausted, but anything is better than seeing you! You bastard! Get away from me!" Flora shouted at him. I
The man wasn't scared off by Chiyoko's anger. He had been eagerly waiting for her to leave the Smith Family estate, to leave Maxwell's line of sight and have the chance to get close to her. Naturally, he wouldn't miss this opportunity. After apologizing, two of the men quickly approached and forcibly grabbed Chiyoko's arms, taking her to the car.The car slid onto the road and headed towards the Modern Hotel at the fastest speed. Chiyoko was both anxious and angry, constantly cursing. The men executing the mission had excellent psychological resilience, completely unaffected by her cursing as if they were wooden puppets.Twenty minutes later, the car stopped at the entrance of the hotel, and Chiyoko was taken to a presidential suite. There, she saw Philip, whom she hadn't seen in over a year, and she curled her lips into an indifferent smile, mocking him, "Mr. Philip, what mysterious game are you playing now? Why did you bring me here?"Philip smiled slightly, trying to please her, an
"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
