"Why are you being such a scaredy-cat?" Mr. Marcus helped Jessica up, "Let's find a cave to hide in for now, figure things out when it's light."Jessica sighed, having no choice but to go along with Mr. Marcus for now. But, "Can't you contact anyone? We can't hold out for days like this.""Jessica, sometimes you gotta learn to trust that things will work out." Mr. Marcus said, taking her hand, and gesturing toward a large rocky cliff not far away. They'd been through a lot today, and now it was time to find a spot to rest until sunrise.Jessica agreed, feeling exhausted and hungry. The temperature in the desert dropped significantly at night, even in summer. She shivered in her short sleeves.She silently prayed they'd make it out of this desert alive. She had no intention of dying in such a desolate place.Sensing her fear, Mr. Marcus patted her shoulder reassuringly, saying, "Trust me."Jessica nodded. There had to be a way out of this, or else they'd have been goners by now.Findin
"I don't know the details, but the Interpol Special Forces are also on the move." Victor's tone turned sharp. "Captain said three high-profile figures were detained on that island, all former miracle workers. Most likely, they're going after them.""Saxon's really outdone himself." Camellia sneered. The people he detained on the island were all important figures, but she didn't expect him to detain people from both sides of the law."But after such a long battle, we've almost leveled the island. Only the cliff area is safe. If anyone had survived, they would've left with us. Most likely, they're gone." Antonio analyzed calmly, with Camellia and Victor nodding in agreement, deep in thought.With a gentle pat on Henry's shoulder, Victor's mind raced. "Henry, what are we going to do?"His voice was tinged with an indescribable pain."You know, what's the deal with those two kids, acting like they're ready to die for each other?" Camellia thought of Herman, they were enemies. And Laura an
"Do you know where he is?" Camellia hooked her arm around Herman's neck, smiling seductively, her aura overwhelming. "Come on, tell wifey, where did your dear big brother go? I need to talk to him about something."Herman looked at Camellia, suddenly saying, "Wifey, I don't like your smile."Camellia was taken aback, her eyes narrowed, a hint of coldness flashing through her gaze. Shedding her seductive demeanor, Camellia appeared elegant yet commanding, with a hint of danger that filled the entire space, exerting heavy pressure on Herman.Realizing his mistake, Herman quickly grabbed Camellia's hand, his fair and tender face leaning close to rub against her shoulder. He acted like a child seeking affection, "Wifey, don't be angry, I spoke out of turn. Please don't be mad at me..."His purple eyes were filled with mist, on the verge of tears. He looked so pitiful that one couldn't help but want to hold him in their arms and shower him with affection, unable to bear seeing such a stunn
Antonio took Henry to the Roman Colosseum, and because of his special status, they got the best seats. Turns out there was a gladiator vs. lion show happening that day, so Antonio and Henry had a front-row view of the epic battle.The whole Colosseum was packed with people.Antonio said to Henry, "Henry, hear those wild animal roars? That's the signature sound of the Roman Colosseum. Doesn't it just get your blood pumping?"Antonio knew they were going to reenact a naval battle too, which he had seen a few times before and thought was super cool. Most people were there for the naval battle, even though it hadn't started yet, so they were checking out the gladiator fight in the meantime.Antonio pointed to the arena and said, "Henry, see over there? They've got those water pipes that they're gonna use to flood the floor and make a little lake. Then the warriors will put on a killer naval battle scene. Even though you can't see it, just listen to those epic battle cries - it's gonna be
"You make it sound easy, but I'm not sure if going after the Carter Family will do us any good now. Eden Carter is dead, and if George Carter decides to come after us, what then?" Victor said calmly. "I'm already looking into who's behind Saxon. If it's connected to George Carter, we won't let him off the hook. Just think, if Italy's mafia takes over Australia's Ghost Gang, who's really going to suffer in the end?"There was no doubt it would be the First Terrorist Organization."Hmm, let's wait for the results," Rose said. "Camellia and I agree - don't drag Laura and Henry into your feuds. I quite like that girl."Victor raised an eyebrow and shrugged. "Truman and Robin are arriving tomorrow. Should we not tell them according to your suggestions?""If we find George Carter is involved, we'll have to tell them," Antonio said coolly. "I never expected there would be survivors from back then. Since someone's alive and it's been so many years, there's no point in dredging up the past. If
"Shut your trap, or I'll toss you to the wolves," Rose threatened, not treating her like a kid at all.The little girl in the man's arms stopped crying then, glaring at Rose with red eyes.Camellia and Rose both frowned.Yep, the resemblance was uncanny!The features were a dead ringer, equally gorgeous and delicate, a spittin' image of a beauty. Give it a few more years, and she'd be a real heartbreaker. Wearing a white lace princess gown, her eyes and nose red from crying, she had a real cute, pitiful look.But..."Who are you people? I wanna go home...my daddy will put you in jail, do you know who I am?" Moira cried, the spoiled little miss having quite the attitude and temper."Who cares who you are?" Camellia sneered.Moira glared at Camellia, wiping her tears."I want my mommy, I want my daddy...""Shut your trap, your 'sis' ain't calling for mommy and daddy," Camellia snapped, unable to hold back her irritation, even though she knew getting mad at this clueless little girl wasn
Their hearts sank heavily. News about Laura?They exchanged glances, unsure of what to say. Should they tell him that Laura was dead? Or tell him that Laura hadn't been found yet, and there might be news tomorrow? Gave him a glimmer of hope that the news would come back tomorrow? But what if they might find her body? How would Henry cope with that?Having lost once before, then given hope, only to be devastated again, how could he endure it? They weren't sure if they could find Laura, but both Henry and Antonio had witnessed the situation back then. Antonio had already asserted that the chances of Laura being alive were one in ten thousand.Surely Henry understood.Even Antonio, usually so composed and insightful, couldn't find the words now. Camellia and Rose fell into silence. Who dared to make promises at a time like this?Silence lingered for a while."That's enough, I don't want to hear anymore. Go." Henry turned away, his blue eyes still tinged with a thin layer of red, like a v
"Wifey..." Herman urgently called out to Camellia.Camellia gritted her teeth. "You're really pushing it."Though she said that, her hand was already in motion. Camellia lacked experience, but in the special agent training camp, sometimes sacrifices were necessary for the mission. Both she and Rose had learned how to seduce and satisfy men. She hadn't expected Herman to be the first man she would use these methods on.Herman felt so comfortable, humming as he held Camellia. This time, he didn't complain of discomfort. Camellia's cheeks turned alarmingly red. Surprisingly, she didn't feel repulsed by what she used to consider tasteless.The size of his member... hmm... truly magnificent.In her hands, it seemed to be getting bigger and bigger. Men were indeed lustful creatures."Wifey, harder... feels so good," Herman murmured as he hugged Camellia, his large purple eyes flickering with sparks, a shade darker, his voice slightly hoarse, as he kissed Camellia's face and lips."From now
"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
