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
Chiyoko held his hand that had slid into her clothes, squinted at him and sneered, "Don't you like killing people? Then help me kill someone." A coldness emerged at the corner of her mouth, her beautiful face twisted with cruel beauty!Philip was shocked by this request once again, "Who? Who do you want to kill?""All the women who appear around Maxwell! Especially Flora White, she must die!" Chiyoko gritted her teeth and said fiercely. Then, looking at his shocked expression, she jeered, "What? Can't do it? Then put away your lustful heart!""This small matter, do you think it can defeat me? But, my dear Miss Chiyoko, do you know how jealous I am? For another man, you can be so disregarding!" After Philip finished speaking, he turned her around and forcefully pushed her onto the bed. His muscular body quickly pressed against her, and his rough kisses fell upon her like raindrops, on her body, on her face!Chiyoko closed her eyes slightly, allowing him to do as he pleased on her body,
"Flora, are you sure you can handle work like this?" Linda asked worriedly. Most people stayed at home and were taken care of when they were pregnant, but she came to work!?"I'm not that delicate. Babies born to delicate mothers aren't healthy. I hope this one grows up quickly and starts earning money to support the family," Flora chuckled, feeling much calmer. When she thought about it, there wasn't anything that big of a deal, and soon she would have a companion! No more being all alone, how great!"Flora, try not to push yourself too much. Your health is everything. If you're short on money, just ask Linda for a loan. She's been cozying up to a rich guy lately, so money won't be a problem," Chloe said seriously."Chloe!" Linda shouted at her with hands on her hips. "How many times have I told you? He's my cousin, whom I've known since last year. It's not what you're thinking. A rich guy? As if!""Usually, when cousins have ambiguous relationships, they end up becoming boyfriend an
Flora had no choice but to go.When she arrived in Kevin's room, he already appeared visibly impatient and frowned at her, saying disapprovingly, "Is this how you usually serve the guests?""No," Flora hurriedly shook her head. Kevin was the owner of the hotel. If she messed up something minor, it would reflect badly on Chloe. After all, she worked under Chloe's leadership, and she was the one who had recommended her for this job."I just...," Flora awkwardly chuckled a few times, her empty hands fidgeting at her sides uncomfortably.Kevin looked at her empty hands and immediately understood what was going on, he smirked mockingly, "What? Forgot to order the dress?""Yes... I'm so sorry. You startled me that day, and my mind went blank for half an hour, so I completely forgot about it," Flora bit her tongue, shrugged her shoulders, and looked ashamed, making it hard for anyone to blame her."Oh? So it's my fault after all," Kevin looked at her with a mocking smile. He never expected t
Linda pursed her lips in boredom and stopped paying attention to her.During the second round of coffee service, Flora couldn't help but glance at Kevin who was looking down at his documents while speaking. He truly was handsome. Somehow, Flora suddenly thought of Maxwell, imagining that he might have looked like this during work.She kept thinking about him these days, not knowing what was wrong with herself. Flora scolded herself inwardly. She thought it might be because of her pregnancy because, after all, the child was his!The meeting was going on smoothly, and Flora stood in the corner, lost in her thoughts.The atmosphere was exceptionally harmonious. However, this harmony didn't last long as it was abruptly interrupted by a sudden noise from outside the door.A sharp female voice burst through the door, shouting, "Who is Kevin? Come out!"Soon after, a woman's figure barged in. Flora's heart skipped a beat as she gaped at Auntie Grace, who seemed to be as fierce as ever. How d
"It wasn't him! It really wasn't," Flora repeated, her headache intensifying as she pleaded, "Mom, please just leave. What you're doing will kill me." After today, she was bound to become a newsworthy figure, no doubt about it!"It really wasn't him?" Auntie Grace looked at Chloe and then at Flora. Only after both of them vigorously nodded did she reluctantly believe. She turned to Kevin once again, speaking coldly, "Kevin, since Flora herself says it has nothing to do with you, I'll let you off for now. If I find out it's related to you, I won't spare you! Well, let's continue the meeting, shall we? Sorry for the interruption."With that, she turned and hurried towards the door, escaping. At the exit, she turned to Chloe, glaring and asking, "What exactly happened? Didn't you mention Kevin?""Mom, which ear did you hear me say Kevin? Didn't I tell you that Kevin has been in W City for less than a month? You're going to kill Flora!" Chloe whispered in exasperation."Oh my God! Why did
After checking herself for a while, Flora walked out of the office satisfied. As she walked downstairs, she pondered. Kevin had been silent for so long since the meeting adjourned. Did he not care about her anymore? If that were the case, it would be great!From the elevator to the lobby on the first floor, Flora felt countless pairs of curious eyes staring at her, followed by whispers and discussions in small groups. She wondered if they were commenting on her exaggerated outfit or discussing her relationship with Kevin. In any case, she felt extremely uncomfortable at the moment!Oh, when will this kind of day end? After Auntie Grace caused such a scene, she probably had to go home early and wouldn't even earn money for formula.After waiting in the lobby for about ten minutes, the elevator doors suddenly opened. The enigmatic Kevin walked towards the main entrance accompanied by a group of high-level executives. Flora stared at Kevin, who remained focused and did not divert his gaz
Entering the hall, handsome men and beautiful women hurriedly made their way inside. Passing through a corridor, the two arrived at the hotel garden, which was the venue for tonight's banquet. The guests were already gathering. Various social elites were gathered, exchanging polite conversations.Flora, in a state of nervous tension, had her hands wrapped around Kevin's arm, and his suit had already been creased by her grip. If the quality was any worse, it would probably have been torn off by her.A woman and a beautiful young girl walked towards Kevin and Flora and stopped in front of them. The woman smiled as she looked Kevin up and down, then reached out her hand towards him, "Welcome, Kevin. I heard that you've been reluctant to come, and Mrs. Davis must have put in a lot of effort to convince you, right?""Not necessarily." Kevin laughed lightly, shaking hands with the woman. "Mrs. Black, nice to meet you."Mrs. Black was none other than the founder of the Alma Hotel and also th
"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
