Each word hit like a thunderbolt. Though she was mentally prepared, Jessica couldn't help but be stunned. Saxon's actions were filled with a sinister and hateful ambiguity, and it all revolved around Marcus.His infatuation with Marcus, Henry had warned her about it before. Saxon had a preference for men and had a sick obsession with corrupting young boys. Uncontrollably, she wondered if his twisted desires were somehow connected to Marcus from more than ten years ago. That was why he... she dared not even complete the thought.Jessica's face turned pale, and she suddenly grew angry. "You're dreaming!"He would never have his way. What a disgusting idea! Why didn't he go after Alston Smith instead of setting his sights on Mr. Marcus? She couldn't contain her fury as waves of shock and fear surged within her.Saxon showed no sign of anger. "Dreaming? But haven't I already gotten you? Originally, this virus was meant to force him to submit, but unexpectedly, you caught my interest. So I
"Why are you just standing there?" Laura asked coldly.Henry shifted his gaze from the swimming pool and realized that she, dressed in fiery red, was now so close to him. Henry felt a sudden sense of dismay."How old are you?" Henry couldn't help but ask.Laura furrowed her brow, clearly annoyed, but she still answered with a specific year and month.Henry felt even more dismayed.Why?Because he discovered that Laura was three months younger than him and almost a head taller. From such a close distance, he had to... look up at her...Henry was greatly discouraged. Under the influence of Mr. Marcus, he was very aware of the subtle differences between boys and girls of the same age. He couldn't accept that someone of the same age was taller than him; he was quite... dissatisfied.In school, he seemed to be taller than those sniffly boys in his class. How was it that he suddenly became short in Laura's presence? Henry darkly concluded that she must have lied about her age."Why are you
"What does your bathing have to do with me leaving?" Laura retorted expressionlessly.Henry smiled even more charmingly, "So you want to see me bathe? No wonder you've saved me several times. So, as that boy said, you're attracted to me?"Laura smiled, and Henry suddenly felt that the pool water had become even colder. Every time he woke up to see her, she had a frosty expression or a provocative arrogance. Except for the fleeting smile she showed when introducing herself, he had never seen her smile.Beautiful, but... dangerous, like a rose growing in venom, thrilling yet life-threatening."I say, Stone, are you feeling shy?" Laura's smiling face was truly beautiful, with delicate dimples on both sides of her cheeks. "Take a look at yourself now, is there anything worth looking at? Girls and boys at this age, I look better than you. If I want to look at someone, I'd rather admire myself in the mirror."Dominant and narcissistic, that's Laura.Laura's mental age seemed older than her
Laura led Henry to the shore. They didn't encounter many people, only blooming white roses. Henry searched his mind for information, but he couldn't recall this island covered in white roses.There were many beach umbrellas and lounge chairs on the sand. Laura sat down, and Henry didn't hesitate to sit on the other side. Laura was meticulous in her thoughts, perhaps due to being in this environment for a long time.It's only safe to talk here, without the risk of being overheard."Stony, why did Henry send you here?" Laura asked.Yesterday, Herman came to the island to inquire about his situation. Laura didn't hide anything, but Herman didn't react much. He didn't even look at him, just left before saying, "Keep him intact."Laura pondered in secret for a while. Did he mean his injuries should heal, or that he should always remain unharmed?Even if a nuclear war broke out and billions of lives were lost, Herman would remain indifferent. Yet he had deliberately come here, asking her to
Jessica suffered from the virus, experiencing two attacks every day. The pain was almost unbearable. She felt her body weakening, and at its worst, she would lose consciousness due to the high fever. Her body's immune system was destroyed by the virus.Several times, she could almost see the vivid scene of the King of Hell beckoning her.Maybe in less than a month, she would be six feet under.Death wasn't terrifying, but she loved too deeply in this life. She had many regrets, so she felt reluctant. She endured wave after wave of pain with perseverance, struggling and lingering in hell.Having had enough of her miserable state, Saxon injected her with an experimental drug. The needle pierced her veins, the icy coldness reaching her heart. Jessica had never felt so uncomfortable. The needle almost pierced her heart.She didn't know what it was, and she couldn't resist it. In those few days, when her body was in pain and she had no energy, after being injected with the drug, her nerves
David violently and fiercely slammed his head against the wall, blood splattered everywhere. He was covered in blood and slumped weakly on the ground, a demonic red pool surrounding him, as the blood slowly overflowed from his head...It almost created a river, and the child's body withered like autumn leaves...Jessica watched helplessly as he died in such a gruesome way right before her eyes. Her eyes turned bloodshot, almost tearing apart. Saxon seemed a little surprised by the child's determination as he raised an eyebrow...Jessica instantly went insane..."No..." Her mournful scream echoed through the lush sky.At the seaside, Jessica held David in her arms, sitting there in a blank and dumbfounded state. Her eyes were terrifyingly empty, tears falling drop by drop. Saxon had beaten her so badly that her internal organs had shifted, yet she still hadn't cried. However, she couldn't help but care about this fragile little life.She begged Saxon for a long time to let her hold Da
On another island, the summer breeze blew, and Camellia became more obedient. She rarely provoked Herman anymore. She started to take the ladylike route, trying not to think about her brother Marcus's situation. Camellia felt that she was leading a relatively comfortable life.Herman was a mysterious person, not showing his emotions easily. However, he showed some genuine emotions to Camellia. He would get angry; he would shout and smash cups and tables. Camellia enjoyed teasing him. Since it was inevitable that she was a prisoner, and a head-on collision was a deadlock, she tried taking a different approach and going down an irreversible path. It was never Camellia's style to give in without putting up a fight. She liked multiple challenges.She didn't like being still, but Herman preferred tranquility. Camellia would never do as he wished. He guarded her tightly, knowing that no matter how he tied her down, Camellia would find a way to break free. So, Herman simply locked her in an
Camellia laughed, a magnificent smile displayed on her face. She kept her eyes closed and said nothing. Herman, you're really capable of going to such extremes. If that's what you want, then go even further. As if sensing her thoughts, Herman increased the pressure of his grip, as if his eyes dancing with the devil. He truly wanted to strangle her like that.If she died, he would be free.No need to worry about anyone, no need to agonize, no need to be consumed by fiery feelings. Herman, still Herman. Everything was like a fleeting dream, the melody ended, and the people dispersed. It was as if she had come and gone in his dream.Fury, intensifying, the storm swirling, a demon took hold in Herman's heart.Camellia, Camellia! When he first saw her, she cautiously explored the room, a side profile displaying a hint of pride and dominance. He pondered in secret, that there aren't many women with such courage. But upon seeing her again, she abandoned her dominance and smiled charmingly. H
"They saved me," said Saxon, with a cold laugh, "In fact, it was just a trap set by their brothers. They sent someone to ambush me while pretending to save me, successfully getting close to me. Their goal is the mafia, I'm not sure which faction they belong to.""You're really dumb," Camellia retorted. If it were Victor or Robin, this wouldn't have happened. Their core organization doesn't allow outsiders to invade easily, no matter how much trust there is.Saxon's defeat in just a few months was greatly influenced by his misjudgment of people."I admit defeat in this move," Saxon said solemnly. "Just go ahead and kill me."Camellia looked at him and smiled, "My dear brother, if I kill you, my nephew will come after me. Your life should be taken by his own hands, that's what you owe him."Desperate, Saxon closed his eyes and whispered, "Camellia, please fulfill my request, considering we're siblings.""Even if you may be my father, I won't fulfill your request," Camellia said firmly.
There were only five people on the ship.Saxon stood alone on the deck, gazing intensely at the sea, his desire to kill growing stronger. To avoid accidents, he should kill her now. And when Mr. Marcus arrived, he could deliver the final blow.Just as he thought that, the ship stopped, and Saxon roared, "What's going on?""Oh, nothing much. They were tired, so I let them rest forever." A dark figure leaped effortlessly onto the deck, her long hair flowing and her black bodysuit accentuating her seductive figure, her eyebrows exuding absolute icy firmness.Saxon called out in disbelief, "Jessica, you..."She opened her mouth, moved her lips, spat out a voice changer, and tore off the mask on her face, revealing a stunningly alluring face in front of Saxon.He was greatly surprised, but she smiled enchantingly, "My dearest big brother, you could disguise as my Brother Marcus, so why can't I disguise as my brother-in-law? How about that, I think I nailed the act, right? Forgot to tell yo
On the cruise ship out at sea.Jessica tried to move her wrist, but the handcuffs were tight, with long shackles on her feet, trailing chains on the ground, giving the room a particularly gloomy atmosphere. She smiled as she glanced around the room; it was actually quite a nice room, decorated luxuriously and comfortably. She thought to herself, that maybe if Saxon had tied her to the bed, she could have had a peaceful sleep.Her face was pale, breathing seemed a bit difficult, gasping continuously, yet she coldly laughed. Raising her hand, she knocked heavily on the cabin door. As expected, the door opened shortly after, and a tall figure appeared in the doorway, stepping inside.Blonde hair, blue eyes, with a menacing aura that seemed to suffocate, as if ready to destroy the entire world. Such a presence would make anyone feel scared.Jessica, however, smiled, appearing very calm with her usual smile, her gaze passing over him as she said, "Saxon, weren't you in Colombia planning to
Marcus slammed the door shut, and pressed his hand against it, hands supporting the door, his gaze darkly fixed on her. Jessica tried to stay calm but felt her heart racing.She couldn't meet Mr. Marcus's eyes directly, so her gaze shifted, each movement making him breathe a bit harder. She calmly lowered her eyes, ready to listen to his scolding.For a while, Mr. Marcus didn't say a word, his imposing demeanor making Jessica nervous.Finally, Jessica blurted out, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have lied to you, but you can't blame me for this. Henry asked why he didn't have a dad. I couldn't possibly tell him that you're the child of a one-night stand with a stranger, right? That would be devastating for the kid. So I had to come up with this cheesy love story. Who knew you actually got into an accident and lost your memory? Henry had already told you about the cheesy drama in advance, so I just went along with the flow. It was really just an accident, I swear.""You had plenty of chances t
It was his mother's death anniversary that day, and feeling upset, Mr. Marcus went to the bar alone after visiting the grave. Someone approached him, but he turned them down. In such moments, he had no peace of mind, but little did he know that he would meet her.She got drunk and staggered. He hurried over to help her, but she mistook him for a money boy. He was furious, feeling his pride was hurt. He was enraged, knowing she came looking for a man, and he wanted to strangle her.In his rage, that anger turned into desire.Furthermore, knowing she had been drugged fueled his anger even more. He was angry at her, frustrated with her. He couldn't understand why he had such strong impulses towards a woman he hardly knew.Maybe it was the moment of palpitations at the beach or the moment of heart fluttering when she looked up at him as he held her.That night, he lost control.But who would have known that when he woke up the next day, there was a note at the head of his bed with $100 an
On that day, Jessica flipped through the guest list for the wedding invitations and couldn't find Quincy's name. She raised an eyebrow and asked Henry, "How long has it been since you talked to Uncle Quincy?""Long time," Henry chuckled. "Mom, you also need to send invitations to the uncles and aunts on Grandpa's side. Why not send one to Uncle Quincy too?"Jessica nodded, hesitated for a moment, then decided to have Camellia drive her to meet Quincy at the park in front of the Lee Family's house.Michael Lee had been in the hospital for a while, feeling down ever since the case with Diana Brown. He had lost his former dominance and charisma; the once mighty business tycoon had fallen, his glory days long gone.Jessica felt sorry about the situation. If it weren't for what Michael Lee had done, she wouldn't have spoken so harshly that day. She only felt guilty towards Quincy.Quincy just smiled and didn't say much. There was a bit of awkwardness between them, not as warm as before, bu
Herman shot her a look of anger, but Camellia wasn't afraid of him at all. The poor little brother, always overshadowed by his brother, how sad. Any woman who falls for him still has to compete with his brother for attention, it's really a special kind of frustration.He was angry, and in the past, he would have definitely closed the video, out of sight out of mind. But today was different, he just stared at Camellia intensively.Suddenly, Camellia was curious about something, "Herman, do you have a brotherly love obsession?"If he answered yes, it would be quite interesting. She felt chaotic just thinking about it. She and Rose had also been suspected of having a lesbian relationship, and now with a pair of brothers who seem to have a homosexual relationship. Wow!"What do you mean by a brotherly love obsession?" Herman questioned.Camellia replied with a mischievous tone, "It means you look at your brother and wonder if you want to pounce on him and violate him."Rose's face darkene
After a while, there was no response from the other end.Camellia calculated the time—it was early morning in Colombia, so he shouldn't be so easily provoked to find a woman to solve his desire. Whether he understood sex was still a problem.She deliberately teased him and let him stew in anticipation."Uncle, it's been a while, and he hasn't responded," Henry said. "Maybe Herman has bled so much from his nose he passed out?"Rose chuckled. "Maybe he is having sex with a beauty."Rose nudged Camellia playfully. "Camellia, don't overdo it. You might regret it later."Camellia waved her hand, smiling without saying a word, then typed on the keyboard: "Herman, how's my figure?"After a while, there was some movement on the line, and unexpectedly, a naked picture of Herman was sent over. It was artistically shot, but his expressionless face still exuded a sinister air.Camellia, "..."Rose, "..."Henry covered his face and wailed, "Uncle-in-law, please consider the innocence of minors...
"Are you happy?" Mr. Marcus released her swollen lips from their embrace, with a smile. Whether she was happy or not was his top concern.She nodded, extremely happy.She could cherish this moment for a lifetime."As long as you're happy, darling. Henry and Camellia will arrive the day after tomorrow. They'll stay until our wedding and honeymoon. You'll be even happier," Mr. Marcus said with a smile. In the afternoon, Henry had already informed him online that he and Camellia would arrive on different flights but on the same day."Really?" Jessica's face lit up with surprise, pouting, "Henry is biased. He told you, but not me. So unfair."Mr. Marcus chuckled, "I and he need to discuss some matters.""Hmph!" Miss Jessica pouted unhappily.Mr. Marcus smiled, holding her, feeling content.She suddenly thought of something, "If you went to such great lengths for a proposal, our wedding will be like...even more sensational?""You don't need to worry about that, just put on the wedding dres
